Might've made this character too powerful, but it'll be easy for me to just cut down her physical capabilities by half or something. I'll be making some edits tomorrow.

Theme Song:
Name: N/A
Alias: Dazzle/Daz
Age: N/A (no older than 60)
Powers and Skills:
Cybernetics- Dazzle is one of very few military cyborgs the US military has. In the case of Daz, most of her body including her face has been replaced by cybernetics and implants. This mostly consists of artificial limbs, organs and even skin. The cybernetics are a general improvement over any human's natural capabilities. Her muscles mostly consist of carbon nanotubes that give her the strength to punch through reinforced steel, and lift a two-ton car over her head with some strain. Dazzle's running speed is over 80 kph and she can sustain that sprint for several minutes. Reflexes are enhanced enough to make her an issue against most experienced close quarters combatants, but it’s not so much that she's dodging bullets. Her eyes are artificial and allows her not only to identify someone two miles away, but also has night and thermal vision capability.
Military Training- Dazzle’s training seems to be the basics most US army soldiers go through, but its still unknown which branch she served. Her training involved basic firearms, hand to hand combat, survival skills, unit cohesion, demolitions experience, cyber warfare and officer training. This has all been enhanced by experience in various battles. As a result, pre cybernetic upgrade Dazzle was already a highly skilled marksman, relentless hth fighter, veteran officer and (as she would put it) all around badass soldier. Most of her activities as a soldier made her a very capable candidate for special forces.
Weaknesses: While skilled in cyberwarfare its possible if caught off guard or captured her cybernetics can be reprogrammed. Of course, this would take a genius hacker who also is able to avoid the self-destruct placed in her. Also her cybernetics in general takes a lot of energy in the form of powerful fuel cells. What these fuel cells are powered by is unknown but Dazzle only carries up to four on a mission. Each one only lasts an hour at best and when they run out she goes into back up power mode which decreases her capabilities to 10%.
Personality: Dazzle’s age is one of her many secrets, but her personality seems to lend some clues to it. She’s surprisingly very caring and open to conversation with almost anyone. Understanding, tolerant and patient are the best ways to describe her personality even if this may change during a fight. Some would consider talking to her like speaking to an old tough veteran who knows how to be gentle and also when to crack the whip. It’s hard to see that type of wisdom in someone who looks like they’re 20 something.
Appearance:
Around 5’10 and weighs 175Ibs (cybernetics and fuel cells add to her body weight) she appears to be a young Caucasian female in her 20s. Her cybernetics In her limbs adds to her bulk.
Biggest Claim[s] to Fame: One of the few unclassified missions involves how she prevented a rebellion in Venezuela. The South American nation was under threat by a dangerous terrorist known as “Clank”. He was a genius in his field of robotics and was able to develop the technology to create advanced autonomous robots. These however were equipped with enough weapons and armor to take on tanks. Her team’s mission originally was to recon his base and retrieve some of these machines. Daz knew what was going to happen and figured she would allow her team to complete the mission. She would on the other hand “accidentally” get discovered by a patrolling robot and then “accidentally” level the warehouse Clank was using as a base.
In the process of these “accidents” she mentioned engaging several dozen of these machines and noting that this army was nearing completion. Clank was captured and the mission was considered a success despite the many hiccups.
How Long Have You Been in Prison ?: 0 yrs
Brief History: Most of Dazzle’s history is classified and or she simply refuses to speak about it. What’s known is that she was born in the United States with two parents somewhere in the Midwest. Went to college and joined the military early in her life. With the experience she has Dazzle was likely a combat ready soldier in a time when the military didn’t allow women in direct combat roles which calls into question why she was one of few exceptions. Now, Daz is acting as a sort of babysitter for a squad of dangerous superhuman criminals.
Notes: Often read works from the Latina writer Gloria Anzaldua.
