[b][color=palegreen]Appearance:[/color][/b]
Large and imposing, Frost is hard not to notice. Standing in just over 8 feet in height, and weighing somewhere around the ballpark of 490 lbs, Frost is built like a brick shit house of pure brawn and bone. Despite her stature, Frost actually has a notably soft step and a surprising amount of deft given her size. Her pale skin is hardened like leather, and her platinum blonde hair is usually kept short and out of the way, and a crown of short horns circle the edge of her skull. Her body is littered with almost a mosiac of scars, often interrupting the considerable amount of tattoo work done on her skin. Both arms are covered from wrist to shoulder in tattoos with motifs of mythological creatures of old, and a large Jaeger Team tattoo on her back has a notable gouge cut across. 

[b][color=palegreen]Mutation Marker(s):[/color][/b]
Most notable among Frost's mutations is her prodigious size, along with its accompanying increase in bone and muscle density. Keritanous growths also cover her body, most notably around her head and fingertips, forming a crown of bones and claw like finger'nails', though the growths on the rest of her body are often routinely ground down to allow her to wear clothes without tearing them. The last of her mutations are more 'common' among the populace, being pointed ears and tusks on her lower jaw. 


[b][color=palegreen]Personality:[/color][/b]
In a word, frosty. Frost is a prickly, cold, foul mannered bitch, and couldn't give a damn about the opinions of strangers. Pessimistic and realistic, Frost is well aware that this is a dog-eat-dog world, and when given the choice, Frost eats, every time. Frost is blunt as a boulder and tells things exactly how she sees them, and her bedside manner is notably lacking. Still, she is not without morals, and has lines even she won't cross. She keeps collateral damage to an acceptable amount and doesn't like to get 'innocents', particularly children involved in runs. 

Like a blizzard, Frost bounces between calm and fury as the situation dictates. Far from emotionless, Frost keeps her passions close to the chest, and outside of snarky or sarcastic quips during runs, keeps things like her explosive temper in check for when she is in a relatively safe place. Perhaps surprisingly, Frost works well as a part of a team, or at least with those she considers also team players. A dutiful enforcer, Frost, when not the designated lead, has no problem following orders, even if she may have a dissenting opinion. Unsurprisingly, Frost has a big problem with those that don't follow the lead, and generally dislikes those who act out on their own or blatantly disregard assigned directives.

She values competence, and conversely despises incompetence. In fact, the only thing Frost detests more then incompetence is blatant arrogance, especially when it is layered on top of incompetence. 

Frost has a notable soft spot for the helpless-particularly orphans, and is extremely protective of anything she considers hers, from possessions up to and including her newfound adoptive family. When involved with people she is close to, Frost is notably warmer, though still somewhat grumpy and standoffish. 

[b][color=palegreen]Aspirations:[/color][/b]
Frost finds herself currently at a bit of a crossroads, unsure of exactly what she wants in life. A few years ago, Frost sought fame as one of the best YSG hunters in the Jaeger Program. Now? Frost finds questions like what she wants in life to be too big of a moral quandary to decide at the moment, and instead busies herself with whatever is at hand, focusing on next steps instead of the big picture. 

[b][color=palegreen]Fears:[/color][/b]
Frost seems a type of person without fear, at the very least she seems not to fear death. On the other hand... 
[list][*] Frost often fears the deaths of others, specifically those she the ones she considers within her family group.
[*] Erinne Shkaev. Her adoptive sister remains a part the Jaeger Branch as the proverbial cream of the crop. Somehow, bigger, stronger and faster than Frost. Above all, Frost fears having to face her in combat. Killing her would break Frost, if she could even land a hit in the first place. 
[*] Deep, open water. She's heavy and made of mostly bone and muscle, she sinks like a rock.  
[*] Surprisingly, Frost is somewhat insecure about her physical appearance- though reacts less with [i]fear[/i] and more with [i]agression[/i] when called 'ugly'.[/list] 

[b][color=palegreen]Vehicle:[/color][/b]
[hider=Honda Kyoshi RS][img]https://i.imgur.com/58IVoAA.jpeg[/img][/hider]
Frost's personal vehicle is a highly modified Kyoshi RS. Modified Suspension and handling, and an overcharged anti-grav system makes it a both a viable street and offroad vehicle, and its chassis has been replaced with armored plates to protect its occupants from both gunfire and the general hazards of the streets and weather. Armored shutters are mounted over the glass surfaces of the vehicles, using multispectrum cameras to allow the occupants to see while the shutters are lowered. Storage racks on top of the vehicle provide additional storage, and the back bench has been replaced with a single seat behind the shotgun, with the rest being converted into a secure armory. When in hover mode, the tires fold inward to grant more lower clearance.

[indent][b][color=palegreen]Strengths/Natural Abilities:[/color][/b]
[list]
[*][color=palegreen]Y.S.G. Enhanced Natural Abilities[/color] - As a Y.S.G. holder, Frost's natural abilities are many times greater than the average person. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Frost's muscle density and power are considerably well above average for her size, even for Y.S.G. holders, granting her incredible athleticism. This increased muscle density makes her both stronger and faster than her prodigious size would suggest and it is often said that 'nothing that big should move that fast'. 
[*][color=palegreen]Jaeger Combat Operator[/color] - Frost is an Ex-Jaeger Operative, and has the fearsome combat knowledge such a rap sheet entails. Over a decade of marksmanship, combat tactics and CQC training and experience makes Frost every bit the consummate warrior as one might expect. Though preferring the direct approach, Frost can be surprisingly sneaky when needed- or as sneaky as an 8 foot killing machine can get anyway- and specializes in heavy weapons, where her heavy frame and musculature can more or less mitigate the recoil on even the hardest hitting weapons. 
[*][color=palegreen]YSG Tracker[/color] - Jaegers are YSG Hunters, with 'hunt' being the key word. Frost is a capable tracker and information gatherer, if not necessarily subtle about it. Sharp eyes let her track subtle movements and find telltale signs of YSG presence. Frost understands human terrain and how people move and shift throughout the city, be it natural or when in attempt to actively evade pursuit. Greasing palms and the occasional interrogation often work wonders when it comes to finding people that don't want to be found.  
[*][color=palegreen]Intimidating Presence[/color] - It's hard to act like a big tough guy when looking up at a monster with tree trunks for arms. Frost is big and scary and she knows it. [/list]

[color=palegreen][b]Weaknesses/Flaws:[/b][/color]
[list][*][color=palegreen]Custom Fit[/color] - Life is hard when you're a big gal. Practically nothing fits stock. Almost anything and everything that Frost wears, holds or uses needs to be custom tailored and tuned to fit her size and strength. While she [i]can[/i] attempt to use items picked up off the ground, they're liable to break in the process of using them. 
[*][color=palegreen]Unsubtle[/color] - When Frost walks into a room, everyone notices. Unless under ideal circumstances, or short of hunkering under a camo cloak from a kilometer away, Frost is practically impossible to hide. When she moves, people see. 
[*][color=palegreen]Voracious Consumption[/color] - Frost requires considerably more food than the average person to keep in good fighting shape. When under the employ of the J.F., with their practically limitless budget for Jaeger operatives, this wasn't a problem. On the streets where every bit of change counts, Frost basically eats for two. 
[/list] 

[b][color=palegreen]Y.S.G Ability(ies):[/color][/b]
[color=palegreen]Oni Trance:[/color] Channeling her ki, Frost can enter a battle state known as an Oni Trance. While trancing, Frost's strength and speed increases dramatically, and her body gains a minor regenerative properties- not enough to offset major injuries, but enough that it lessens the effects of more minor wounds. The air around her grows cold- though not to the point of harm, and her vision focuses considerably. As a side effect, Frost has reported a sort of tunnel vision while trancing, and her capacity for higher logic erodes. Core instincts remain: how to operate weapons, intrinsic combat training and the ability to differentiate between friend and foe remain, but complex logic such as operating machinery and vehicles, deduction, the ability to do complex calculations and problem solving abilities go out the window. 

[b][color=palegreen]Soul Binder/Weapon(s):[/color][/b]
[color=palegreen]Soulbound Kanabo[/color] - As efficient as it is inelegant, the Kanabo is a simple weapon with a simple purpose: Hit thing with big stick. Stick heavy. Spikes on stick. Frost's soul binder weapon takes the form of a 10 foot long stick, the first two feet is a shaft of wood, wrapped in leather, the remaining length of the weapon is encased in a octagonal block of metal, with spikes fitted on each face, about an inch apart. The weapon moves through the air with incredible heft, and can sunder steel, flesh and concrete alike. Despite its apparent weight, in Frost's hands, it appears rather nimble. When drawn, the weapon appears in a cloud of mist and ice.

[b][color=palegreen]Guns and Gear[/color][/b]
A bit of a gun nut, and a veritable walking armory, the vast majority of Frost's income is spent on guns, and gun accessories, and she typically has something for any given situation. While physically incapable of carrying [i]all[/i] the guns she owns at once, Frost regularly tailors her 'kits' for the expected threats on a given job or task. 
[hider=Guns guns guns] 
[list]
[*][color=palegreen]Kalashnikov AK-2147 Custom Smartgun[/color] - This personal weapon is based on the widely produced, rugged and reliable AK-2147, meant for general purpose work. While neither the most accurate nor the fastest firing rifle on the market, it [i]is[/i] the most reliable, able to sustain practically any amount of abuse and continue firing. This particular AK has been fitted with an elongated heavy barrel for better accuracy and recoil management, and has also been fitted out with a homemade Smartgun system. While not as refined as military Smartguns, its functions remain comparable, including a laser targeter, multi-spectrum 1-6x digital scope, ammunition monitor, pre-emptive recoil management system, automatic magazine ejector, and remote firing switch. Smartgun functions are linked to Frost's smartlink and cyber lenses. The best part is, since the gun itself is so cheap, Frost can just yank the external accessories off and slap them onto a new one if it breaks.
[*] [color=palegreen] IMI Super Eagle VI [/color]- Big Bore? Yes. Street legal? [i]Technically[/i]. These handguns are big, mean and liable to snap a 0-percenter's wrist every time it fires. Pricey, flashy, borderline overkill, this veritable handcannon will put a fist sized hole in basically anything it points at- probably behind it too. With a smartgun system, and fitted into a concealed quick draw holster, this is about as small a weapon as Frost can handle. Oh, and she has two of them. 
[*] [color=palegreen]IMI Smartgun X[/color] - A modernized take on the classic Uzi submachinegun. A compact street sweeper fitted out with a Smartgun system and suppressor, and as many extended magazines as Frost can carry. 
[*] [color=palegreen]Lynx Custom[/color] - The big, mean Jaeger's pet cat. A custom built anti-material rifle with a cut down barrel, perfect for urban environments while still maintaining good accuracy. With Frost's size and strength this weapon can be set up and used to provide overwatch, or brought into a gunfight for use like a battle rifle or marksman's rifle. This semi automatic rifle makes makes short work of body armor and the body behind it, up to and including light vehicles if one tries hard enough. This custom piece of kit comes courtesy of Mama Tsuki's deep connections- a signing bonus, if you will. Perhaps to Frost's chagrin, the weapon appears to have been painted an obnoxious, bright pink. One of a kind, this weapon is fitted with a smartgun system, multi-spectrum 1-12x digital scope, high capacity magazine and a bipod, just in case. 
[*] [color=palegreen]Kalashnikov Saiga-24 Automatic Shotgun [/color] - A heavy duty workhorse weapon for wanton destruction with little care for collateral damage. A belt fed automatic shotgun linked to a backpack full of ammunition meant to saturate an entire area with enough buckshot to fill a small swimming pool. Comes with a foregrip and laser sight, along with a hip pad brace. 
[*][color=palegreen]Remington V30 Roomsweeper [/color] - A pair of Semi-automatic shotguns with the barrels sawed off, wielded by Frost as pistols. Each are fitted out with laser sights and quickdraw holsters. [/list][/hider] 

[b][color=palegreen]Cybernetics/Gadets/Accessories:[/color][/b]
[list][*][color=palegreen]Smartlink[/color] - A small cyberware implant embedded into Frost's palms, allowing her to interface with Smartgun systems in her weapons and lenses. The link also comes with basic biometric software to allow her to interface with her home, digital wallet and vehicle.
[*] [color=palegreen]Survival Knife[/color] - a handy knife with a suite of extra functions including multitool, micro-lighter, GPS monitor and augmented reality display maps built into it. The blade is coated with an inert chemical that can be activated to shine light. Frost's knife has a little charm from her sister hanging off the handle.
[*] [color=palegreen]Form-fitting Body Armor[/color] - basically a second skin, Frost never leaves home without it. Molded battle armor utilized by Jaeger operatives, highly resistant to gunfire and moderately regulates thermals. 
[*] [color=palegreen]Armored Jacket[/color] - A properly large bomber jacket. The inner layers are made of aramid fibers, making it resistant to light gunfire, but is more a fashion statement than it is body armor.  
[*] [color=palegreen]Cyberlens Goggles[/color] - Commonly used by Jaeger operators to mimic the function of cybernetic smart-eyes without the invasive surgery.
[*] [color=palegreen]Flashbang[/color] - Perfect for softening up a room. Explodes with a loud bang and a blinding flash of light. Non-Lethal unless pressed it against someone's head. Frost typically carries two. 
[*] [color=palegreen]EMP Grenade[/color] - Like a flashbang, but scrambles electronics instead of people. Not as loud. Frost typically carries one. 
[*] [color=palegreen]Fragmentation Grenade[/color] - A simple explosive that sends shrapnel flying across a fairly wide area. Excellent against people, poor armor penetration. [/list]

[hider=Street trash, to Jaeger star, back to street trash][indent]Born and subsequently orphaned on the streets of Moscow-0, there weren't a whole lot of prospects for a kid like her other than fight, rob and steal. So that's what she did. Jackie's earliest days were spent struggling for survival. Stealing food from stalls and stores, or mugging the people that caught her. As a YG, Jackie was strong for her size, but still a child, it was a miracle Jackie made it to adolescence without becoming a statistic. She spent most of her time in and out of Saint Daniel's Orphanage, never a particularly enthusiastic prospect for adoption. The orphans of Saint Daniel's often found themselves a sense of kindred spirits- manifesting itself as a gang of street kids.

Around the age of 8, the Saint Daniel's was shut down, a combination of lack of staff, corporate landgrab attempts and a gang of kids breaking most of its infrastructure. Rather than leaving the kids out on the street, the J.F. decided that these kids and teens would make excellent test candidates for a new program, the Somoro Project, was meant to rapidly induce awakenings in YGs, targeting specific mutations and YSG abilities. The resulting training was harsh, brutal and the program itself was shut down after 8 years, with the reasoning that the program's high mortality rate outweighed the value of the resulting candidates. But, the program was [i]technically[/i] a success. The J.F. were able to induce very specific mutations and powers within this small test sample of candidates. Those that survived were fast tracked to the J.F. Academy. Jackie, was one of the few that survived and were entered into the Academy to train.

Jackie did well at the Academy, thriving under the structured lifestyle, her new mutations helping her keep up with the best of the best. Even compared to other candidates, Jackie was regularly regarded as one of the toughest, most resilient candidates in her class, and did well in tactical training as well as classroom learning. Jackie, and most of the survivors of the Somoro Project were quickly snapped up by the Jaeger Branch. Graduating near the top of her class, Jackie was quickly inducted into the ranks of the Jaeger Branch, and given the callsign 'Frost'.

Undergoing yet more training upon joining the Jaeger Branch, Jackie was one of the last students of her mentor, Silver Tengu. Training was tough and ardous, culminating on the tragic, fateful day of the Class 5 Outbreak. Even though she was still in training, Frost and the four dozen members of her training class, now practically full fledged Jaegers, were quickly deployed to assist in managing the outbreak. The result was a devastating blow to the Jaeger Branch's training platoon. Of some 40 trainees, only Frost and a handful of others survived. 

As tragic as the events of that day were, life inevitably went on. The lives lost were soon forgotten or relegated to the statistics of history. Awarded a commendation for valor during the events of the Outbreak, Frost was quickly propelled up the ranks of the Jaeger Branch, earning a reputation as an effective tactician, and a ruthless executioner. Frost would end up spending most of the next decade as a part of one of the Jaeger Branch's elite Kill Teams, squads meant to hunt down and execute the most dangerous of YSGs in the Megacity sprawls.

8 years into her career as a Jaeger, Frost and her five person kill team were sent into the Sakanoshita Sprawl to hunt down an exceedingly dangerous YSG. Elusive and difficult to track, the Kill Team were finally able to corner her somewhere deep inside Sakanoshita. Upon getting eyes on the target, Frost was shocked to discover that the YSG she'd been sent to hunt down was none other than the Silver Tengu, her trainer and mentor. The following events are widely speculated, with the only official word being the confirmed deaths of an entire Jaeger Kill Team.

A few years after the loss in Sakanoshita, rumors have began to swirl about a particularly large YSG working as an enforcer for a local gang.   [/indent][/hider][/cell][/row][/table][/hider]
