Operator
Name: Eliza Prowl
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Appearance: Eliza is a 5'9" tall, leggy blonde Sharo woman with almost glimmering light ice-blue eyes. She is hot and she knows it, wearing clothes that hug her form and show off her body. Depending on who she is trying to be or where she is headed, she may dress up or down but tends to display no shame at all. Whatever shirt, sweater or dress that is doomed to fighting back her D cup breasts tends to call it quits just after midnight. If she left it on that long, that is. She is agile, athletic and lean though she keeps a little junk in the trunk on purpose. She may play many different roles in the same week, from ritzy upper-class blue blood to cat-burglar. If she is just relaxing alone she likes loose-fitting clothes (for obvious reasons), and unless it fits into a role or enhances the overall effect, she disdains undergarments.
Background: Born Tatiana Alikovna Jager to a middle-class family in Sharo, she didn't really find herself in need of much. She was born pretty and cute and was able to leverage that against almost anything she desired while at the same time getting out of trouble. Her real mother ran off when she was barely old enough to remember her, leaving her father to eventually remarry and try to move on with their lives. She would be watched through the years by her real mother and visited at a few key points, just often enough to color her personality. After all, her birth mother was beautiful! She had to be a movie star or something, and the way she would drop off a gift along with a few words of wisdom for smiling just so or dressing in a manor that made her father unable to think did something to her.
Eventually, Tatiana received her PET and her navi, who said her name was Vixen. The two of them became fast friends and like chatty girls, traded gossip and secrets with who was cute at school (or the school's netspace) and how they could get dates. At about the same time her body began to fill out, much to her father and new mother's dismay, Tatiana's behavior spiraled out of control as she entered her teens. She wasn't subtle and she indulged in almost everything she could. Everything smoked, drunk, rubbed here or there, every broken heart, she left a trail of misery behind her.
At sweet sixteen, most girls find themselves at a party. She found herself at an intervention. She never realized before that she had no friends, that she had come so very close to being thrown into juvenile lock-up, or even worse, to having Vixen taken from her. She promised to turn herself completely around and for a few months she did well. But eventually her real mother showed back up for a few days and taught her some very vital things about covering her tracks and keeping her stories strait. The art of being subtle when it was called for. Like the rest of her mother's teachings, she took to it like a fish to water and indeed did clean her act up. Or began refining it was more like it.
She found that by using subtlety and manipulation, she was able to get far more than she had before. She found how much fun it was to turn lovers and friends against each other, to sleep with someone and walk off with their wallet and the contents of their safe (thanks to Vixen) before they woke. She always showed the pretty, obedient face to her parents, all the while mastering her act.
By the time she graduated high school and college, she was ready to set out into the 'real world' with her talents and her fully mature figure. She had many names but her favorite alias was "Eliza Prowl", from her native tongue, "Lisa" meaning fox and "Prowl" a play on her surname of Jager, meaning hunter. She kept herself athletic, trim and well educated, despite the setbacks her lifestyle tried to apply. It wasn't about working hard or being genuine, it was about being at the top of her game and learning just enough to pass in circles as someone who belonged there, at least long enough to get what she wanted. And what did she really want? Maybe to find her birth mother, maybe to join the Mafia, maybe to just keep living in the lap of luxury, be it by hook or crook. Whatever it was promised to be fun.
Personality: Ever since discovering how much fun it was to use her charms and wiles to pull the wool over people's (especially men) eyes, she has become addicted to it. Some part of her craves action and adventure, and finds it in all the wrong places. From a rich man's bedside to sneaking past a museum's security at night, life is a game to her and she finds winning intoxicating. She isn't as cold as her navi but she is every bit as manipulative. Vixen is her only friend and partner in crime and they like it that way, as they have for years. Sometimes she gets a little too drunk in life's indulgences or sets off an alarm she didn't mean to but she is getting better at it every day. So far she has managed to avoid any real endangerment or incarceration, but she's always on the lookout for the next big score.
PET Modifications: Vixen's PET is a modern LINK-II with a sleek metallic blue case and houses several after-market tools built in to allow for ease of access to virtually any system or device. There has to be some way into most things and this Swiss-army-knife will find it.
NetNavi
Name: Vixen.EXE
Gender: Female
Element: Aqua
Subtype: Shadow
Appearance: In her natural form, Vixen is a small arctic fox with a blue tint to her pelt. The fur of her legs gradually gains a darker coloration as it descends, leaving her paws black. The tip of her tail is a pure snow white, as are the tips of her ears and her snout which can be seen peeking out from her mask. She wears a mask of yellow, almost golden, armor on her face, however and it's impossible to tell if it's a part of her body or just an accessory. Her whiskers peek out from tiny holes and, through narrow slits, her eyes can be seen. The irises are glimmering light ice blue, matching her claws and teeth.
Vixen is a slight creature, standing only one foot tall at the shoulder. She is three feet long, a foot of that length being tail, and she weighs a mere 15 lbs. Her emblem in this form rests against her breast, but her thick fur hides it almost completely.
Kitsune.GMO: Vixen's hybrid fox/human form is that of a 5'9" tall and voluptuous woman that lives up to her name. A tight blue bodysuit covers most of her body, highlighting every curve and muscle. It is cut low, revealing flawless jade-like skin in a tight 'V' shape just above her rather large D cup breasts. The bodysuit keeps things mostly under control, but the navi clearly has no shame, let alone undergarments or wrapping. Right below her collarbone sits her emblem, hanging on her bare skin almost like a necklace or brooch.
Peeking out from the rear of her bodysuit is a long and fluffy tail, of white fur with a blue tint along it's length, ending in a tip of pure white. She wears wrist-length black leather gloves and knee-length leather boots ending in two-inch high heels and ninja tabi toes. She still wears the same yellow-golden mask, only larger, which on her human face now appears as that of a Japanese kitsune. Her lips, which can be seen below the mask, have a icy blue gloss that goes well with the glimmering irises of light ice blue that peek out from the mask's narrow, slanted eye slits. Long silver hair pours from the back of her head, with blue highlights that make it match her tail.
Where her human ears should be are another set of emblems matching the one on her chest. Despite this, she can hear just fine from them or from her mask's ears. It's still not known if her mask can be removed or if it's a part of her body.
Emblem: A circle, cut in half diagonally with one part blue and the other black. A golden kitsune mask sits in the center of it, which a thin line of silver outlines, as well as highlighting the split between black and blue. The entire emblem is surrounded in gold metal, matching the mask.
Background: Vixen was acquired as a plain old, custom navi when Eliza (Then just Tatiana) was just twelve years old. The two of them learned together over the years how to manipulate people, especially men, to their whims. Even as Eliza grew into a beautiful woman in her own right, she made sure her constant companion got to 'grow up' too.
Following the icy navi's specifications, along with some input from Eliza, she became the sultry Vixen she is today. Eventually they took their act into the professional field and started making a living off their wiles and the misfortunes of others. It wasn't long before the pair was able to secure a comfortable living, but of course they would always aim higher and want more.
Personality: The icy kitsune is cold and manipulative towards everyone and everything with the sole exception of her partner and friend, Eliza. She prefers to sit back in the shadows and gauge a situation before stepping into a confrontation or mission. Once things begin however, she is in her element. She enjoys the thrill of combat only slightly less then that of manipulating others into fighting each other while she watches.
She has a dominating and sadistic streak that she normally hides, as it's hard to get into someone's good graces once they have her figured out. For this reason she prefers to remain a complete mystery. She doesn't even like telling people her real name or background, preferring any number of aliases, embellishments and flat-out lies. It's just another game she plays, seeing how far she can spin her tangled web of lies before someone finally starts pulling on the threads.
Custom Weapon: She really prefers not to combat in her arctic fox form, but when she must, she claws and bites her foes with claws and teeth made of razor-sharp ice, as hard as diamond. For ranged combat, she can fire similar shards from her mouth, propelled at high speeds.
In her hybrid form, the kitsune can manifest icy-diamond claws at her fingertips, more to-scale with her larger body and more deadly by far. She may also create small weapons made of the same material to wield in melee or hurl. If all else fails, she can just fire half-formed ice bullets from her hands.
Signature Attacks: (60/60) [Process Upgrades: 0]
Gengetsu (Moon dog): (Cost 60) [(Decoy x1,1rd) Then (20 [color=blue]Aqua[/color] x2 Hits); 2 TCD] Snow and moonlight spin together in an instant to weave a decoy identical to Vixen's human-like kitsune form. The decoy and the original then both manifest blasts of ice, fired from their hands. Blasts must be directed at the same target but may originate from any of Vixen's decoys or from herself, in any combination. Decoys that were designated to fire blasts that are destroyed or disabled first result in reduced hits.
