Character

Born many years after the end of the Aberrant War, Claire Burns grew up on the Chinese colony of Khantze Lu Ge. Although something of a delinquent child, she remained on good terms with her rather disapproving family and managed to get through her teens without too much trouble. Still, she wasn't headed in the best of directions and decided to leave her home district before she fell into the wrong crowd for good.

Deciding to contribute to her community and escape a life of petty crime, she joined the local volunteer militia as a VARG pilot, where she received a cozy posting patroling colony borders. But no less than a few weeks after finishing her training, the Aberrants led by the Colony attacked and turned her beloved home into a war-torn hellhole. Along with many of the local military who weren't immediately killed, she was eventually captured after months of frantic fighting. Having seen most of her family and friends die in the ensuing chaos, she had relegated herself to a life of pain and torment as she was twisted into one of the Colony's Sub-Aberrant monstrosities.

Yet, shortly before she was to be carted off the vats, the Upeo arrived and staged an attack on the facility, liberating her and all of the other prisoners. Unfortunately, she was severely injured during the rescue and mistakenly left for dead by her saviors. What was worse, was that she Erupted shortly after the battle and was left to stumble around the warzones, hated by UN forces and hunted by the Colony's forces. It was only by sheer luck that she managed to avoid death or capture, and was eventually rescued several weeks later by the Eden Novas.

She spent much of her time since then honing her powers and trying to compensate for a body that hadn't recovered from the wounds it had received before Eruption. When Quantum-active cybernetics arrived at the Nova colony, Claire, then known as Char, requested to be the first to receive treatment.

Taint

Permanent Points: 4
Temporary Points: 0

+1 Social Penalty with Taint <1

Aberrations [2pts]

• Minor: Aberrant Skin (Burns)
• Minor: Horn Growths

Body Modifications

• Inhuman Attribute - (Dexterity)
• Tough Skin - (Claire's skin became much more resilient as a consequence of the trauma she endured shortly before and during Eruption...)
• Scarification - (...in addition to being horrifically scarred and receiving permanent burns to 30% of her body.)
• Rangefinder - (Cybernetic rangefinder implanted in her right eye to make up for continuing visual impairment since Eruption.)
• Pain Editor - (Due to chronic pains she experienced after Eruption, Claire received a cybernetic pain editor to ease her physical difficulties.)
• Dense Musculature - (Restorative treatments have still failed to restore her crippled limbs, but Claire's musculature has otherwise benefited from treatment using new advances in Nova-active enhancement technology.)
• Integrated Weapon - (Claire's mangled right arm was eventually replaced with a fully functional cybernetic one, which incorporates an "Ares Mauler" Shredder Rifle.)
• Concealable Pocket - (Upper right arm has a built in storage compartment, which contains a hardened flask of whiskey and pack of cigarettes.)
• Thermal Capacitor Mesh - (Due to worries about Claire causing herself harm with her powers, her body was outfitted with bundles of heat-dispersing mesh.)
• Vital Organ Shielding x6
• Filter Lungs/Liver - (In addition to preventing problems from smoke inhalation, they also prevent Claire from spewing out smoke everywhere unnecessarily from her habit.)
• High Capacity Lungs
• Luminescence - (Flashlight built into right palm.)
• Multitools - (Fingers of right arm incorporate various tools, and a lighter.)
• Strike Faces - (Both hands and knees have armored plates built-in.)

Merits

• Lucky - (Claire's managed to survive a large number of incredibly stressful and rather improbably scenarios in rapid succession for a variety of strange reasons.)
• Iron Will - (Despite having a very harsh past few months, Claire hasn't given up hope yet.)
• Quantum Rocovery - (Perhaps tangentially related to her rejection of Eufiber, Claire is able to process Quantum with greater efficiency than many Novas.)

Flaws

• Crippled Arm (Right) - (Her right arm was severely damaged during Eruption and did not return to normal. Although now fitted with a prosthetic, it requires regular maintenance and power.)
• Flashbacks - (Post-Colony Khantze Lu Ge is NOT a nice place to live, and Claire has enough memories of lost family and friends during the ensuing chaos to last a lifetime. It's very likely that she has PTSD.)
• Addiction (Cigarettes) - (The one bad habit of an otherwise very prim and proper girl.)
• Eufiber Rejection - (One of the reasons that Claire was able to escape Khantze Lu Ge intact and survive the inclement weeks until the next raid by Eden Novas was because the Colony's Eufiber bundles died when they attempted to establish contact with her.)
