"You know, there's one thing I love about my kind, it's the sheer possibility to fuck with people. Literally and in other contexts, hehe~"
Sapishte
"Age is just a number, you know, and its not all that difficult to appear younger...if that's your thing, you dirty pervert~"Age:26
"I can do men too. Perhaps you'd prefer a little of both? That's a thing with some people...it's quite popular in some areas on earth, heh. Such kinky, funny little things, humans are."Gender:Female
"Staring at little ol' me? Heh...now why don't you just ask me out already? I won't bite...well, maybe a little~"Appearance:In Meins natural form, she stands at around 5'9. Like all of her kind, she is covered in a thin layer of 'Slime' or 'Goo' that allows her to pretty much change her appearance into those of other species as she sees fit. Hers, is a silvery color and cool to the touch. Most humans would likely find her natural form to be on the 'exotically appealing' spectrum, considering her rather ample assets in most areas. Which of course, causes her no great end of amusement. She likes the attention. If one were to touch it - and lets be honest she likes being asked if people can touch her - it would feel cool, smooth, and somewhat pliable.
She dislikes people knowing both what she is, and what she looks like, however. Typically she takes a human form when dealing with others. Deception was a skill needed in her previous profession after all, and if people didn't know what you were or what you actually look like, it makes things so, so much easier as long as you could get past any high-tech security and whatnot.
Her human form looks, well, a bit similar to what she actually looks like. Slightly shorter, with copper colored eyes and silvery white hair adorning her head typically tied back into a ponytail. She has a somewhat more slender and lithe build whilst looking like this, and typically uses a lower tone of voice than her usually more melodic voice.
That said, she doesn't keep to one human form often and tends to never use one more than once.
"Tsk, years of hard 'work' down the drain."Equipment:N/A for now. She had a rather fancy high-tech custom melee weapon for close engagements, Arraxi made armor, and an illegally modified assault rifle, and a powerful handgun she used to have. It was confiscated upon her arrest, and is likely still in the wreckage unless its been picked over by scavengers. She intends to reclaim it the first moment she gets - with a little help, if she can employ it.
Attunement/enhancements:Enhancements:Mien has a number of enhancements designed to help her do one thing: Espionage, Killing and getting away with it, and survive even mostly fatal wounds. Of course, none of these augments were given in a consensual manner as they were surgically implanted by the guy who took her in, but they are useful regardless. She also has been given a few genetic modifications from a young age to help in certain 'asset' areas.
Type-N Nanomachines: These black market, self-replicating Arraxi make machines were designed for two purposes. Firstly, they act as both an immuno booster for keeping away sickness, cleaning the bloodstream of any unwanted foreign material such as poison and other toxins, etc. They generally are there for keeping Mien in top physical condition no matter what, and to promote the healing of wounds as well as muscle growth, earning a much more effective workout from even light exercise. A small cut could heal in minutes, a medium sized gash could heal completely in a day or two. Even a fatal wound, if treated correctly within time could be healed with just a small scar. They are fairly self autonomous and function well enough on their own. They are genetically 'locked' to Mien, however, and will not function for anyone else and will shut down the moment outside of her bloodstream. If scanned, they appear no different than any other standard human make machines of similar model.
While a normal person would only have them present in their bloodstream, they have also taken residence in Mien's outer covering of Goo, which leads to some interesting applications considering that these are, indeed, black-market nanomachines with a second deadly function. She comments they're the reason her goo is actually silver colored.
In short, Mien has top-human physical strength, reaction times, as well as better healing than most humans could possibly hope to have without having replaced limbs with artificial ones.
Neural Link Focus: NLFNervous system uplink via a small implant just above the right ear that's connected to her nervous system. It brings up a holographic display that can do a number of things similar to those with artificial eyes. Mostly, its for monitoring her own physical conditions, give limited readings about the conditions of the area, give her reads on technology and allows her to interface with them via wireless connections if she's close enough. It allows her control over the nanomachines present in her bloodstream and has an on-board computer that handles the more complex tasks after being given a command.
Unique Abilities:Type-N Nanomachines:As previously stated, they are black market and illegal for a reason. Traditionally, these model of Nanomachines were used to discreetly assassinate certain organics for either the Arraxi government. While at first they do function as something that can keep one extremely healthy and in peak physical condition, they have a second function that makes them rather dangerous. That function, is the complete and utter destruction of a creatures organic material. With the Neural Uplink she has a somewhat limited control over this function.
The ability of this function is dulled somewhat by the fact the nanomachines simply cannot function outside of Mien's bloodstream or outer shell of goo, but it's still fairly dangerous for any organic to have a large amount on them. Once activated, they will eat away at organic material for about 1.5 seconds before shutting down completely, leaving only metal residue behind. For the most part, they do not affect Mien since with the help of the Uplink she can simply either shut them down or have the other nanomachines deal with them.
Effectively this means, she
could touch someone and give them small burn-like damage on their flesh. It's not something that could easily be used though, and armor works well since it only breaks down organic material. Really great in surprise situations, though, and worked wonders for her old stealth operations.
Machine Override:While Miens does have some basic understanding of computer code and other such topics, she's far from a master hacker. That said, it doesn't particularly matter when a computer can do most of those things for you. The uplink is able to hack machines via wireless connections and override them and give them a new set of commands. Wireless alarms, robots, etc. With enough time, it could theoretically hack almost anything. It can only have a handful of open connection at a time though. Trying to do multiple things, typically ends with a severe headache and perhaps worse. She has never tested that theory. It also comes with a manual uplink for more secure machines without a wireless interface.
Personality:Confident, charismatic, and more than a little on the promiscuous side, Mien comes off as incredibly friendly most of the time - perhaps a bit overly so at times. The Sapishte greatly enjoys being around others and the general company of them, though some might find her company in particular a bit...not all that welcome. Since well, she flirts with pretty much everything with legs and seems to take a bit of enjoyment in making people uncomfortable and teasing them about certain subjects. One should never take her teasing or words all to seriously, and you'll get along with her fine. If you happen to tease or flirt back though, she'll be your new best friend. Typically, she maintains her calm in a lot of situations, as she'll comment living in the underbelly of society as she has you tend to see a lot. Far too much.
Delve a bit deeper though, and you'd find that she's one of the rare Sapishte able to greatly hide her emotions from others. Mien is incredibly intelligent, calculating, manipulative, and above all sadistic and incredibly cruel when it comes to her own goals. She wants what she wants, and absolutely nothing will stand in her way. If she can't persuade the problem to join her through some means or join her...well. It won't be pretty. She wasn't the head of a criminal organization, albeit only for a few years for nothing, and intends to rebuild what she lost.
That said, she is incredibly loyal to those who work for her, and for the most part is honest - so long as they remain useful and remain loyal themselves. Of course, she's not afraid to cut away a cancer at the core should it prove to be malignant, but for the most part if you have her back, and she'll have yours as long as you, under no circumstances, make her believe you could potentially put a wrench in her plans. Even then, she'd stab you in the front rather than the back - but she will make it hurt in the worst way possible.
Bio:Mien was born around 26 years ago on the planet, Glonelia, the humid and somewhat low tech, mostly jungle and swampy homeworld of the, Sapishte. She never had the intention to ever become a slaver, drug dealer, smuggler, murderer or hitman. Sometimes life deals people bad hands, and they have to make do. She won't give you a sob-story though. She's had it good, for what she's had to work with.
Mienieve Shalloyth was your average Sapishte for most of her first years of life. The Sapishte, being the emotional people they were, were easy enough to grow up with. Generally the race of shapeshifters were viewed as an honest, if not somewhat promiscuous race by the rest of the galaxy considering their inability to hide their emotions all that well. It also typically made them poor liars and perhaps a bit easily manipulated, especially to those of other races with less than honest intentions.
From an early age she distinctly knew she was different from the rest of her peers. Where they had trouble hiding the slightest emotion whether it being happiness, joy, rage or lust, Mien always felt her own emotions were rather...muted, by comparison. Somewhat dulled, as if there was some sort of thick barrier between her and them. Not that she felt nothing mind you, she did, but they were always a bit dull in comparison to the rest of the Sapishte, and didn't know how to properly express them most of the time. Knowing the taboo though, she learned from an early age to be able to mimic the emotions expected of her quite well.
When she was thirteen though, her life took a turn for the worse.
Her parents were murdered. She swears she didn't do it, but after questioning and a bit of talking with child services it became rather apparent she was extremely...adroit, and self aware about her condition even from a young age. Of course, upon finding this out she was labeled an abomination and basically exiled from the planet. Supposedly, she was to be taken care of on earth at some human orphanage by a distant relative, but that didn't exactly go as planned. The handlers, both fearing and hating the 'mutant' decided to drug her, dump her in some random alleyway in some slums and let whatever happen, happen.
Of course, a thirteen year old girl in a shady slum with the ability to shapeshift made her a pretty...desirable target for certain undesirables. If it wasn't for the owner of a shady brothel taking her in for some less than morally correct purposes she probably would have ended up a lot worse. It wasn't really that good - but she couldn't complain, really. So for the next few years of her life she worked as one might expect of someone who lives in a brothel...as well as an assassin for the owners enemies.
She was made a choice, after resisting one of the customers with more deviant tastes. Her 'Owner' gave her a choice. Either be forced into this line of work for the rest of her life (where she would likely die)...or become his personal plaything and the guy who takes care of 'problems'. Not having any much of a choice, seh agreed. So after sinking some money into expensive enhancements and a method of control, he turned her into one of the best.
Murder, drugs, and sex! The most fun things in the world.
Until she turned twenty one, she honed her combat abilities and. The owner of the brothel had expanded his business quite a bit with her help, making her take out his enemies and securing his position of power in the cities underworld as well as the higher class markets. Unfortunately for him, he hadn't turned a lost little girl into a mindless killing drone via abuse and other things like he had hoped. Stubbornness is best tempered with cunning, after all.
She was merely biding her time.
For the next two years, she plotted under his nose. She gathered a few allies and people who were either dissatisfied with the status quo, or generally not happy with how things were going. She promised a few girls in the brothel that if they helped they could leave if they wanted. She said she'd end any dealings with drugs, slavery, and many other less desirable things.
After two years had passed, she initiated her little violent coup of his business. The news reports say the found his body hanging upside down from a skyscraper drowned, beheaded, and tortured. After she had control, what else to do but to tighten her iron grip on it? Those people working in the brothel she said could go home? She simply traded them away to some slavers for new stock. Those who helped her? Dealt with. Harshly.
She had successfully, at the age of 22, taken over one of the largest criminal organizations on earth and there was no one that could do anything about it. Drugs, illegal slavery, prostitution, smuggling and even a little mercenary work for certain interested parties. Anything illegal you can think of that could bring in profit, they had their hands in. For once in her life, she felt content. Joy, even.
SafeShe would have likely remained as its head for years, since the police were absolutely baffled. How did one catch a shape-shifter who didn't even use her normal form inside her own home? Someone who always chose a different guise when going out? Not to mention meticulous enough to not leave any evidence or any ties to hit men or assassins being used. They didn't have anything they could convict her with despite knowing full well what she was up to.
One person she hired as someone to handle their more cyber-related crimes and other things, ended up squealin' like a pig to the cops after he was busted. Without giving her time to flee or clear house, they raided her house but she was ready. Having loyal people working for on the other end paid off sometimes. She put up a hell of a fight according to the police report. Killed at least a five cops, several security drones, and even managed to fatally wound the police chief. Having the best technologically advanced weapons and enhancements from Arraxi paid off.
It wasn't enough, though.
In the end, she was subdued and arrested and had a one-way ticket to Alcatraz.
One of these days she's going to find that bastard who ratted her out.
And she's going to make him wish he was dead.
...though, perhaps, she could use this even to start over. Start an entirely new life from scratch? Wouldn't be difficult. Most people would probably believe her to be dead. Old enemies...the government. Perhaps she should quit while she's ahead.
Other:Before she became the ringleader of a crime syndicate for a few years, she was a trained assassin, hit man, and used for espionage work. She is talented in hand-to-hand combat, use of firearms of all kinds, stealth and acrobatics, and bladed weaponry.
