Witchblade: Bio-War [PG-16][Advanced][Started][Accepting by PM]

[XandiRae]

Name: Alexandria Arakhnos

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Codename: Xandi

Normal Description: She has dark brown hair, bluish green eyes, and a red shirt with a blue rose on the front, Blue jeans, Red high top converse shoes with a Skull heart on it, and a black Jacket and on the back it says "You can choose My way, or your way.....Either way your just going to die."

Cloneblade Form Description: In this form, her hair turns a shade of peach as it gains green highlights and a large, Rukia-like bang across the right side of her face. Her face gains three circular markings in a diamond-shaped pattern above each of her eyes, and her eyes become emerald-green with dark sclera. Her armor is orange with green highlights and completely covers her arms and legs. Her hair lengthens, and can ensnare her opponents like Nora's.

Cloneblade Form Weapon: Unlike Nora, who could shoot needles from her hair-segments, Xandi uses four mechanical armored legs for her weapons. They directly connect to her spine, allowing her to move them like they were naturally there. Each of these legs, One pair positioned below her arm joints, the other placed 6 inches below, is triple-jointed, with the first two segments each being as long as her arm. The third segment is a long, blade-like device that can split into two blades and act like pincers.

Personality: She likes to be alone, mainly due to her anger problems. She rarely shows emotion to anyone, but she really does care about the rest of her team.

Bio: Alexandria grew up in the Bronx as a 5th-generation Greek-American. She has ancestors that came to New York in the early 21st century that passed through Ellis Island. Her family owns a small Gyro shop, and she grew up in the shop.

Until a local gang threw Molotov cocktails into the shop one night, killing her entire family.

Alexandria was placed in an orphanage, and developed her current psyche from her inability to do anything about the gang.Eventually, though, she got her chance with the XTC. She was the most compatible subject with Nora's old Cloneblade, and the group needed her, so se struck a deal. She would take the job if she could have one night with the Cloneblade, no questions asked.

She quickly went on a killing spree, slaughtering every single gang member who had been involved in the death of her family.

Now, she works for the XTC, but externaly, she hasn't changed. Yet deep down inside, she is happy knowing that her family has been avenged.

She can be very outgoing and is abundantly open about her lesbian orientation, especially when around women she finds very attractive. Evelyn does have a strong moral value and will go out of her way and mission to save lives in danger. When on the job Evelyn is very serious and some would say she has a complete change in personality by becoming much sterner.

[Guest TheFinalFan]

Hurray!

Accepted!

And don't worry, I'll trim it up for you.

Welcome to YCM, BTW!

[Princess Judai]

Oh thank god! We can finally start!

[Guest TheFinalFan]

((And we have officially started.))

"All Team Duchess Cloneblades, please report to Briefing Room 3. All Team Duchess Cloneblades, please report to Briefing Room 3."

The computrized warning kept blaring as the Cloneblade codenamed Hime groggily slunk out of bed to get ready.

"Ugh...not now. I was having another dream about Mom..."

She went into the cramped washroom of her already cramped quarters, washed up, put on her usual uniform, and charged towards the Briefing Room.

But when she got there, the rest of her 8-woman team, along with her father, Reiji Takayama, was already there.

"Riko, you're late." He growled as he headed out of the room, leaving the 21-year-old somewhat embarassed.

"Leftenant Snow, you take it from here." Reiji commanded as he left the Briefing Room.

[Ace Daimon]

((Took you long enough...))

((And no. Leftenant is the British equivalent.))

((And no out of character-only posts.))

 

Snow quickly saluted before turning to the rest of her team.

"Alright, you wankers! We've got another job to do!"

She pulled up the schematics for a tank-looking thing with 4 treads, a mechanical head where the hatch would be, and an offset cannon.

"Alright. Pop quiz. Who can tell me what this is?"

[Princess Judai]

"I know! I know!"

Katelyn shot up her hand, waving excitedly.

"It's an iWeapon! They were produced by Douji Group Industries about 15 years ago, before Masame Amaha destroyed them all at the Battle of Tokyo Tower. I thought they were all gone..."

[Ace Daimon]

"Nope. Not even close."

Snow then pressed a button, and the schematics shifted to show a bigger version that had extra armor, sensors, enhanced missile pods, and a gatling gun on the opposite side of the turret from the cannon.

"This is the iWeapon Mark II. Apparently, someone managed to get the original plans for the iWeapon and upgraded it into this form."

She then showed the scans of what looked like aerial, bipedal, and motorcycle-shaped variants of the iWeapon MkII.

"And whoever built this next generation also created these variant forms."

"Currently, over 1000 of these iWeapons have been sold to Arthur Mgalekgolo, a warlord in the Kijuju Autonomous Region. He's using the iWeapons to more effectively control his piece of dirt and upset the delicate power balance in the DMZ."

"We're going in to take them out."

[DarkSamuraiX1999]

"How many combatants and civilians are expected soon as we arrive at the designated drop zone, mam?" Evelyn asked, deep down she was hoping for a quick and clean operation without any unnecessary loss of lives.

'I don't want to see things escalate out of control like Tokyo.' Evelyn thought as she remembered what had led to her being the predicament she was in now.

'I can't live with myself if I let innocent people die like that again.'

[Guest TheFinalFan]

Rihoko was running through the marketplace that she and Mom had visited when they first arrived. It looked so different at night. Rihoko tried to find Mom, but she couldn't. She called out for her, but there was no one there except the iWeapons chasing after the little 6-year-old.

"Mom! Mom!" Rihoko cried as the cyborgs moved in for the kill...

Riko snapped back into reality, remembering that awful night 15 years ago. She clutched the small vial of sand against her chest tightly, trying her hardest not to break protocol and activate her Cloneblade on-base.

But the Witchblade replica on her arm wanted her to do it SO badly...

 

((DSX'99, please have 4 in-character sentences per post, at least.))

((These are the forum rules. I have no control over them.))

[Ace Daimon]

"Miss Soho, would you care to tell us about your personal experience with the iWeapons?"

Snow was going over the movements of the iWeapons when she saw Riko shaking in her seat.

"You were at the Battle of Tokyo Tower, according to your dossier. You must have seen something during that night..."

[Guest TheFinalFan]

"Umm...yes, actually." Riko hesitated, rubbing her vial for some good luck. "I was there. My mom had gone off to work when the iWeapons came. Some of my mom's friends in the apartment complex took me to a shelter, but I escaped to go find my mom. I looked practically all over the city, until I got to a cliff where I watched the finale of the battle, where Masane Amaha detonated her Witchblade to destroy the remaining iWeapons and Tokyo Tower."

"I later learned that my mother was one of the civilian casualties of the Battle. To this day, I wish I could've been there for her."

Riko shed a few tears as she finished, and sat down.

 

((BTW, only a few people know that Riko's mom is really Masane.))

((DSX'99, you're not one of them. For now.))

[Ace Daimon]

"Thank you, Miss Soho." Snow replied before turning to Evelyn.

"As to your question, Miss Chen, we will be expecting civilians and enemy soldiers, as well as our targets, within the drop zone. But we will be supported by elements of the United States' 1st Infantry and 3rd Cavalry Divisions. The US president wants us to quickly clean up the area so they can resume their current mission of stabilizing Kijuju."

"Any more questions?"

[Princess Judai]

"Actually..." Yuki raised her hand.

"I was wondering what these new iWeapons are outfitted with. I really don't like being dropped into battle not knowing what my opponents will use against me. It's just one of my little pet peeves..."

[DarkSamuraiX1999]

'Great escalation...as much I want to be optimistic about this...things are gonna go out of control fast...' Evelyn thought morbidly. She then looked at Rihoko.

'Poor Riko...losing her mother like that...I just wanna hug her and tell whatever I can to make her feel better. Cutie like her shouldn't be sad like that.' Evelyn thought as she looked over at Lefttenant Snow.

"I agree with Yuki on this mam, last thing we need is another out of control battle."

[Ace Daimon]

"I'm glad you asked."

Snow brought up the standard iWeapon MkII.

"The iWeapon MkII has a water-cooled vulcan cannon on one side, and a powerful retractable cannon loaded with what we believe are armor-piercing shells. They also are equipped with multi-purpose smart missiles and a powerful sensor suite. The weak point is the main turret and the head. Due to the angle of fire from both of its guns, attacking from above would be ideal, except for the missile pods, which help defeat one of the MkI's biggest weaknesses. Just aim for the turret, which has a relatively slow turn speed, and it will go down."

She then switched to the aerial version.

"Unlike the original iWeapon, this aerial version, dubbed in a startling burst of creativity from the United States Armed Forces the 'iWeapon-A', has numerous weak points. The turbofans on either side, as well as the head and undercarriage, will bring the bird down. Just be careful for its twin vulcans and rocket pods."

She then moved on to the bipedal variant.

"This one is, in essence, a heavier MkII turret on a pair of legs, which has been labeled the 'iWeapon-B'. It has two cannons, and two vulcans on stubby arms, as well as a large combined missile pod on the back. Hit the legs, and you can finish it off from there."

Finally, she displayed the motorcycle iWeapon.

"This iWeapon, called the 'iWeapon-M' by the Pentagon, can clock 120 km/h, according to our satellite scans, and has two retractabe vulcans inside of a protective covering. It can also use two sword-like blades where the handlebars would be on a normal motorcycle. Unfortunately, it sacrifices armor for speed. Catch up to it, then take it out."

"Now let's get moving. Every minute we spend here is a minute we don't get paid!"

She then called Riko over to one side.

"Miss Soho. A word with you."

[DarkSamuraiX1999]

'Great leave it to one madman to sell weapons of mass destruction to a crazed leader and leave it up to them to make these things even more dangerous to have. No matter what though, I refuse to let another Tokyo happen. I don't care if it's out of my power, only those that really deserve it are gonna die during this mission.' Evelyn swore to herself as she got going. She then noticed Rihoko going to the side to speak with Leftenant Snow.

'That can't be good can it?' Evelyn decided she would stay back to wait for Rihoko.

[Ace Daimon]

Snow pulled Riko into a deserted hallway, then leaned into Riko's ear.

"I'm at a high enough rank in this organization to know your true identity, and what really happened to your mother." she whispered "I apologize for putting you on the spot, but we have to maintain your cover story."

Snow then looked at her Cloneblade.

"Maybe it's the fact that I have your biological mother's Cloneblade, or maybe I'm just finally breaking down, but I have always felt...something...towards you."

[Guest TheFinalFan]

Snow's last statement made Riko blush.

"What?!? I'm sorry, ma'am, but I'm not into that kind of thing! I think you might need to talk to Evelyn about that!"

Riko decided to just walk away and get back to the team.

[Ace Daimon]

Snow placed a hand on Riko's shoulder as she rushed in front of the younger woman.

"I didn't mean it that way!"

She then gave Riko a warm hug, shocking the 21-year-old.

"I meant...I feel like...I should be..."

The normally prim and proper Leftenant, who always spoke clearly and plainly, finally couldn't figure out what to say.

"You know what? Nevermind. I'll see if I can tell you after the mission."

She then let go of Riko, and marched towards the hangar.

[Guest TheFinalFan]

Riko just stood there for a second, thinking about what her superior just did.

For a second there...it felt like...Mom?!?

Riko then understood what Lt. Snow was trying to convey.

"Leftenant! Wait up!" Riko cried out as she ran off after the others.

[Joey Miles]

joey layed atop a roof top in france taking in the simi fresh air. a small breeze blew through his hair and wisled in his ear. as he layed there he couldnt help but remeber what had happened to him. all those ways they had tortured him. as his old wounds were revisted electricty surged around him.

"you know what they did to me almost makes me wanna get rid of these stupid humans." he said to no one in petuclar.

[Spartan919]

Kira listened intently to the discussion between Riko and Snow, and the description of the weapons. Sounds like a good, fun fight. Maybe I'll get to blow some things up. I hope Riko was okay, being put on the spot and all like that. Kira shuffled her feet, anxious to hear why she, and the other Cloneblades, had been called there today. After a moment of waiting, she huffed in impatience. After another minute, she pulled out a notepad and pencil. She began writing, letting her mind wander to the fictitious worlds that her mind created whenever she touched paper to lead.
