AKIKO (Artificial Kinetic Integrated Kombat Operative), also designated by her serial number: C05-F23-R07 (which expands to Project: Chimera, Generation 5, Feline Model 23, Revision 7) was created onboard the ASS Horizon (Astronomical Service Starship) a little over a year ago by the most renowned genetics scientists among all of Humanity. Developed as a prototype to become the ultimate fighting force to combat the aggressive alien species, known as the Va'alen, which is hellbent on the destruction of the entire human species, Akiko was specifically engineered to utilize the hunting and rapid aging characteristics of the feline species with the adaptability and intellect of humans, being further enhanced with the rare genetics that allow for arcane manipulation.
Throughout the first couple years of her life, Akiko was constantly trained with military efficiency, under the capable coaching of Lieutenant Commander Kenji Sato, hand picked by the Supreme Commander of the Fleet because of his no-nonsense demeanor to get the job done correctly, the first time without asking too many questions. Under his instruction, Akiko mastered advanced gymnastics, multiple styles of martial arts, and various ranged weapons tactics. Akiko was both sharp and naturally curious (as cats typically are), and absorbed knowledge with an unyielding thirst.
As Akiko grew to become a polished military fighting machine, Dr. Eri Takahashi, Lead Geneticist, carefully monitored Akiko's mind and body, and ensured that she wasn't being pushed beyond her limitations. After all, Akiko was already the seventh attempt of Project Chimera, and was both eager to see Akiko perform, yet also cautious, knowing both the physical and mental demands Akiko was being placed under were strenuous.
Both Takahashi and Sato reported Akiko's development directly to Captain Hiroshi Nakamura, Supreme Commander of the Astronomical Star Fleet, and personally commands the ASS Horizon. His mission is to ensure the survival of Humanity at any cost necessary, and has mostly remained outside of direct presence of Akiko-- to prevent any possibility of emotional imprinting that earlier versions of The Asset displayed, insisting on calling her by her official designation serial number.
Special Abilities:
Akiko was not only engineered to be the perfect physical form, but also to access the arcane. She innately has the ability to use Technomancy, meaning that she can not only communicate with computer technology, but she can also manipulate it's hardware for a limited period. In addition, she's been designed with a special digestive tract that can transform various foods into magical effects. Based on the flavor of food that she consumes, she may have access to different domains of elements:
The effects are time delayed (she must digest the foods she injects) by a minimum period of 15 minutes. After the allotted time passes, she has the magical abilities that align to the Flavor Profile she's consumed for a maximum of four hours. When casting magic in this manner, she must roll a varied dice. A natural maximum, ensures an overwhelming, uncontrolled success, while a natural one results in a backfire or other arcana malfunction. Each 45 minutes of passing from ingestion results in a downgrade of dice, beginning with d12:
