Trầm 'Canastra' Quyên
Cybernetically-modified Vietnamese Gambler, Human Female
Quyên is a relatively tall woman of Vietnamese descent, enhanced by a series of internal cybernetic modifications. She stands at 5'6" with a considerably toned body. Her dark hair is done halfway into a short ponytail, almost like a bun. With her eye color relatively unknown, it's safe to say that she keeps them closed. Nose upright, it compliments her soft oval face. The Vietnamese's voice's nor deep nor high, being in the comfortable middle ground with a soft tone to it. She seems to always have a straw in between her lips.

- Samurai Robes. One pair of loose and slightly revealing clothing on the top side of things, her top assets luckily hidden and compressed by a series of bandages wrapped around them. Anyone with low will may or may not get distracted by these.
- M5-H.Shield. A compatible and effective hardlight shield integrated into Quyên's left forearm. Just like any shield, it's durable and used for blocking attacks, melee or otherwise; be it bullets, swords, spears, etc.. Using the holographic screen sticking out of her forearm, she uses it to control the shield's two main shapes: Personal and Bubble. Being technology, it was given extra measures by adding a layer of EMP protection to the device.
Personal. The personal shield looks and acts like any other, being attached to Quyên's left forearm and is the usual pick during combat. Nothing more than 2/3rd of Quyén's own height, it would be useless to taller individuals and unusable for shorter ones if they would ever get their hands on her integrated augment. While being less durable than the latter shape, it gives the user assured protection against projectiles and melee weapons in one direction. Doesn't seem to be very effective towards wide ranged attacks, or those from many directions at once. Although, constant direct attacks towards it, and it will surely "break", needing to recharge after such an event has occurred (2-3 turns).
Bubble. Bubble, as the name implies, is a shield that coats Quyên all over and gives her maximum protection from most attacks. The shield takes the form of a ball. This mode is more durable than the former, although it has its downsides to the wielder. Whenever activated, the user is not able to attack their opponent and the activation process takes 2 turns. This shape can take many and many more direct hits and is usually used as a desperate measure for escape. There are rare moments when this shield would actually break, but that would need a large amount of force of attacks; if broken, the shield would need hours to recharge which makes it unusable any further during the current battle. Although unable to deflect bullets, it gives knockback to melee combatants; the harder the hit, the worse the knockback.
Offensive Equipment
Standard Carry
- HTA-C.Blade "Overcharge 9000". A big durasteel blade with many electricity modules attached. Using the charged electricity in said modules, Quyên is able to shock people a great amount after a 2 turn charge. This also disables cybernetic augments directly, although it doesn't seem to damage EMP protection- it may or may not also fry augments if hit directly. To an untrained user, this is a very dangerous weapon, its size only allowing stronger personnel to carry this sort of blade. Sadly, due to its size, it's impossible to conceal. To organics, a single slash can result in a big gash. Better watch out!
Abilities
Active
Miscellaneous
- Echolocation Array. A special array of sound transmitters and receivers that grant Quyên the gift of sight. The echolocation array grants the user vision in two ways, passively, which allows for the user to take in their surroundings silently, though the picture is blurrier and less focused, and actively, which sends out a series of ultrasound pings to bounce off the surroundings to return a crisp, clear image. These pings, while outside the range of human hearing, can still be detected by special equipment and sensors. The frequency of each ping can be changed to focus on more distant surfaces and is even capable of producing pings within the audible range.
Five sets of implants, situated around her head, allow for Quyên to map her surroundings in all directions. The implants themselves take the form of dermal piercings, camouflaged amongst the other cosmetic piercings on her face. Two sit in the soft tissue behind the ear, two in the temples, and the last on the soft tissue of the nose between the eyes. As the implant converts sound directly into a processable image, loud, directed ultrasound attacks can be blinding yet harmless, and a direct strike to one of the implants can also render the sensor temporarily useless and leave the user blinded. - ReacTec Brain Chip. The ReacTec brain chip is an augment that works to alter the user’s perception of time, seeming to lengthen it to allow for improved reaction time and thought. The chip works by streamlining the way the brain processes and reacts to visual information, and does not actually grant faster thinking, though it seems to appear that way for a user under its effects. The brain chip can only function for a limited amount of time, usually a few minutes, due to the energy it needs to function, which it borrows from the brain and body itself. Unlike other models of tachypsychic inducers, use of the ReacTec brain chip doesn’t benefit from adrenaline release, meaning the user is very much aware of pain and injuries.
General
- How does she…? Somehow, despite her blindness to surface details, texture, and color, Quyên is able to differentiate the cards she plays with from one another...
Miscellaneous
General
- Special Eyes. Quyên was born with hypersensitive eyes, rendering them effectively useless in daylight and other lit environments. Opening her eyes to light results in intense pain and discomfort, and they can only be opened comfortably in darkness, which still leaves her with minimal vision.
- Gambling Addiction. Simply a game of poker gone too far, Quyên hungers for other competitors in the means of gaining money through any sort of game that involves gambling. This can lead to either huge money gain or huge money loss in hours to days.
- Piercings. Along with the disguised dermal piercings, Quyên owns a few actual ones such as a septum piercing and a regular nose ring, a lip piercing and an earring or two on each side.
- Asian Linguist. Quyên is fluent in Vietnamese, Japanese and Hylonese and speaks in a light Vietnamese accent.
Augments
- Cybernetic Lungs. An enhanced set of lungs, designed with higher capacity and efficiency in mind. With increased uptake of oxygen and an improved volume capacity of about 150%, these basic set of features help the user use more oxygen more comfortably during times of exertion and also allow for the user to hold their breath longer, among other things. The strangest and most important feature of the lungs is their ability of forced breath, independent of the diaphragm. On command, the lungs can expand and contract to draw breath without external aid, helping the owner to breathe in times when their body may not want to.
- Cybernetic Controller. A brain-interfacing computer chip that allows the user to control their cybernetic organs, quite self-explanatory. It is hardened against EMP and other electrical interference, a standard for such devices that interface with the brain. The controller has been surgically installed onto the cerebellum.
