"Family":
- Gerald Constantine Pard a.k.a. Gecko (Alive)
A loyal med-tech, once employed under a business protected by Suzy's "family". Gecko now owned a workshop where people got cybernetic enhancement and maintenance, both for aesthetics and technical functionalities.

Equipment:
Common
- Agent (Glasses in shape and performs like a smartphone, able to make phone calls and serve as PDA, with necessary software for secondary net-running)

Cybernetics: (What is your character augmented with? These could be anything within reason. Are there any weaknesses or drawbacks to their cybernetic implants?)
- Interface Plug [Allows digital processing to be perceived as sensory stimuli]
- Neural Link [Allows direct mental connection to devices like computers, vehicles, or anything with interface consoles]
- Bioware (Toxin Binder, Enhanced Antibodies, Skin Weave, Muscle & Bone Lace) [Anything that makes her physical capabilities better than normal human without deforming her outer looks]
Cybernetics Caveat:
- Net-running through her embedded interface plug would require Suzy to stay still and close to the port as her sensory got flooded with information emulated from the jacking-in process. The monolithic enhancement of her cybernetics also created a drawback that any net-running conducts would also affect her hormonal condition.

Backstory:
All had been pretty normal for Suzy up until she reached the early years of her adulthood. Born as a member of the wealthy household in Nova City, she once had all the privilege to enjoy the life in the upper class society, better than most citizens. One would consider the household where Suzy belonged possessed some kind of conglomerated enterprise as their facade. Of course, such enterprise could never thrive in such age without dealing with the shady nature not unlike the classical mafia.
However, everything plummeted when a rival nemesis took everything from Suzy's family. They lose all their assets in a series of aggressive takeovers. Indeed, some more unethical approaches also happened behind the face of legal conducts. There were blackmailing and even assassination targeted onto the key staffs of the family business. Being the only heir of her parents --and her family fortunes, Suzy was targeted too. It happened in an unfortunate night, when Suzy had a vacation with a suitor previously introduced to the family. The man who was supposed to be Suzy's potential partner had been persuaded through blackmailing and served as a double agent for the rival family. His mission was to eliminate Suzy and finalize their plan in destroying her household's fortune through chaotic inheritance scheming, completing their feuds.
In such vulnerably exposed condition, unarmed and undressed for the night, Suzy's experience of betrayal got planted deep in her heart, so was the searing metal that entered her abdomen, damaging her innards. The man could not bear to put a headshot on Suzy, so he allowed her to experience the painful torture of the gunshot wound and the slow death of bleeding out. The guilt was so deep as the man witnessed Suzy's agony in her convulsions. He committed suicide right in front of Suzy, after a simple apology.
Fortunately, the Trauma Team was quick to arrive. While the man had already met his demise, Suzy still had her chance to live. However, they needed to place some cybernetics augmentation for Suzy to support her damaged inner organ. Beneath her soft alabaster abdominal skin-graft, Suzy now possessed some metabolic support system that allowed her to continue living. However, the incident had changed her perspective on life; Suzy believed that the burden of family feuding had fallen onto her shoulders. She further added some enhancement of her cybernetic suit that the set now allowed her to perform physical feats similar to high-performing athletes of the past, back when Olympics was a trend. She also had some resistance against poisons and diseases, augmented by the enhanced antibody and toxin binder inside her. She put all her cybernetics inside her abdominal cavity, compact enough to keep her slim figure.
Suzy did not stop at that. Knowing that the power supply was strong enough to support more cybernetic enhancements, she added an interface plug, complete with a neural link to help her hacking into the net system whenever net-running was necessary. Of course, with her attention of not having any noticeable cyber parts jutting on her body, Suzy did not like to have the socket hole around her back or even the lower part of her head. Having the compact cybernetic set being put inside her abdomen, she had her interface socket located on her navel instead, connected to the spine and retained the concealability within the wardrobes she always wore in her daytime job.
All-in-all, Suzy had now changed. Once she was a corpo-lady of hedonistic nihilism, performing under the value of materialistic meritocracy. She now had a purpose of bringing justice to those who had wronged her.
