Jackie 'Frost' Shkaev
![]() ____________________________________________________ C H A R A C T E R I N F O R M A T I O N Name: Jackie Shkaev Nicknames/Aliases: Frost | That big fucking bitch Birth City/District: Moscow-0 Age: 28 Height: 8'2" (2.5m) Racial Background: Russian/Siberian Race: Y.S.G. Awakened Hair Color: Platinum Blonde Eye Color: Green Appearance: 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. Mutation Marker(s): 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. Personality: 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. Aspirations: 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. Fears: Frost seems a type of person without fear, at the very least she seems not to fear death. On the other hand...
Vehicle: ![]() 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. P O W E R / C Y B E R N E T I C S I N F O R M A T I O N Strengths/Natural Abilities:
Weaknesses/Flaws:
Y.S.G Ability(ies): Oni Trance: 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. Soul Binder/Weapon(s): Soulbound Kanabo - 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. Guns and Gear 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 all the guns she owns at once, Frost regularly tailors her 'kits' for the expected threats on a given job or task.
Cybernetics/Gadets/Accessories:
| H i s t o r y 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 technically 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. |
