Name: Rebekka Madison Alias: Andromeda Image of your Character: ![]() ( or, conversely, see attachment below) Age: 32 Gender: Transgendered, MTF (presents as female, usually) Height: 6 foot 2 inches Weight: unknown (about 200 pounds) Nationality: Irish-American Relationship: Occupation: NYPD detective (also, amateur mechanical loom operator, hacktivist) ~ Clothing/ Appearance: At first and second glance, she is large, tall, dark, feminine, sometimes darkly foreboding, and mysterious, but all of these are just what is seen in passing. Rebekka Madison is 6 feet and 2 inches tall (or taller, when wearing heels), and usually dresses in a flowy, sci-fi gothic fashion of clothing, with lots of blacks, accented with metallics or darker browns, and/or touches of lighted neon colors. Also fairly apparent is her nearly gigantic size, her glowing (blue) cyber eye implants with black sclera, and her all metal teeth, the canines of which are small yaeba fangs. As showy as she visually is, her hairstyle and wardrobe actually hides alot; cyber-implants and prosthetics, generous body curves (38 30 40, with cup size hovering around D/DD/E), and gadgets, devices, and miscellaneous other stuff that ladies and detectives tend to tote with them. Where and when appropriate, Rebekka wears on her right arm, a trans-flag bracelet, and a red and orange bracelet with yellow buddhist 8-spoke wheels. This display of bracelets tends to delight some people, and greatly annoy others. ~ Weapons: https://pre00.deviantart.net/2f0e/th/pre/f/2016/024/3/8/amigo_by_peterku-d9p5fst.jpg - NYPD Ruger Vyp-r 2200 duty pistol In the real world, Rebekka is already plenty dangerous as a NYPD officer. She has a police issue pistol, an extendible power-baton, and knows basic Capoeira and Krav-maga. As a (space-new-age buddhist), she is very good with a sword/ baton, knowing decent chunks of canne du combat, and some HEMA sword styles. She is still learning her cyberspace capabilities. ~ Abilities: 1 enhanced speed and reflexes. Rebekka has a Node-V spine replacement implant, a Epsilon nerve-capacitor lattice, a pair of Horizon replacement legs, and a modified pair of Horizon arms. The left arm has a cantilevered shoulder bone and collarbone, and a couple of rib bone clamp additions, under the skin. The right arm connects at the elbow. This results in her having enhanced reflexes enough to visibly blur (from the perspective of more normal humans), sprint at about 60 miles per hour for about a mile/kilometer, and leap 5 stories vertically, or up to 5 to 8 times that amount horizontally, depending on trajectory and take-off distance. 2 enhanced vision. Rebekka has Cobalt-6 ocular implants, which allows her normal vision at HD 1280 at 60 frames per second, infrared + night vision mode (displayed as a second glowing ring in the eye), and variable zoom with a maximum of 40x. In combination with her spine implant, Rebekka has cyber-vision when jacked into the net. 3 cyber-wetware capability. The Node-V spine has several computer ports, of various types, including a high-data-speed software to wetware interface, with a combination firewall buffer of up to several gigs of data. 4 Meta-mind. Via the use of controlled breathing and meditation, Rebekka can alter her states of mind, and enables her to do things like recall past lives, reduce the need for sleep, become 'High', and in some cases, allows her to astral project her mind/ soul out of her body for brief periods (2 hours, at most. Her cybernetics hinders astral projection capability. Before being partially cyborged, she could astral project all night long, every few nights. ) 5 Hard to poison. Because of her various artificial internal organs (stomach, liver, kidneys, one lung) she can metabolize and is resistant to a greater number of substances, which could otherwise be harmful. ~ Pro's: *List at least four things that your character is good at. This could include things that deal with Physical Attributes such as Nimble, Flexible, Heavy lifter, Faster thinker, and Personality traits.* 1 mechanical engineering prodigy. Rebekka has an intuitive understanding of mechanical things, from vehicles, to robotics, to weaving looms. 2 creative. Partly because of her Outsider identity, Rebekka has some weird thought patterns, which allows her to see and understand things in ways others would not. 3 altruistic. Having redeveloped herself for ten years prior to joining the police, she has a far stronger set of moral precepts than most who join the police force. 4 Culinary finesse. Given a decent small kitchen and basic ingredients and spices, rebekka can make food that is to die for, even if it is just basic macaroni casserole or cold cut sandwiches ~ Con's: *This is the listing that Hinders your character such as Mental Disorders, Addictions, Old Injuries that hinders one's Movement or how much they can lift, Negative Personality Traits. You can have as many of these as you wish, but you have to have at least three.* 1 Outsider identity. Because of her Galactic Dreams, Rebekka has come to adopt a more or less not-human identity, even before the accident and her cybernetization. It is particularly creepy when she fully steps into her 'alien mode' and starts speaking .... Differently. she may even lapse into speaking other languages, such as irish gaelic, or even 'alien gibberish' 2 vulnerable to cyber-countermeasures. Rebekka's cybernetics render her very vulnerable to electrical and strong magnetic attacks and devices. She is also vulnerable to mind-hacking, if someone can get past the integrated firewall-buffer. 3 abit of a hero complex. Because of her strong sense of justice and morality, she sometimes cannot let things go. As a result, she is sometimes abit of a loose cannon/ cowboy cop. 4 specialized cybernetics. The cyber-prosthesis that she has been installed with have a somewhat specialized nature. While she may be faster and is able to leap longer distances, her arms are not stronger than a normal human. 5 Nerve attenuation syndrome. Given that Rebekka is approaching about 30 to 40 percent cyberization, she is at definite risk for some serious black shaking. (NAS is often called the black shakes, because along with headache and seizures, comes blackening of the veins around the implant, as the implant ruptures its substance interface barriers). http://cyberpunk.asia/cp_media.php?id_media=29&lng=us ~ History: Born in ireland as Robert Madison, to parents Kelvin and Molly Madison. Little bobby was always abit .... Strange. He was always more apt to try to play with the girls rather than the boys, he was intelligent and gentle-natured. unfortunately, this swiftly rendered him a loner; girls didn't want to play with him because he was (ewwww) a boy, and he didn't want to play with the rest of the boys because he was not of a rough and tumble 'right irish boy' nature. Bobby was smart enough to cotton that he would best better not articulate his views on the real matter of the problem, atleast, not while as a child; he was a girl trapped in a boy's body. With his father getting a lucky break at a career change, the family moved to america; more specifically, to Norfolk, Virginia. Just in time to start stateside high school, Rob did well in school, having been well ahead of the rest of his peers in education. Unfortunately, this didn't earn him friends, quite the opposite, in fact. American bullies saw a totally unmasculine gawpy irish boy (gay?) and saw not but Fresh Meat for the thumping. Much to their glee and his agony, Rob was stuffed into lockers, harassed in the bathrooms, otherwise blatantly stolen from, and all manner of sabotaged in class, as well as mocked for his irish brogue. Because of this, [she] learns to weave between crowds of people, and soon discovered his tormentors kryptonite; the campus library. There she reads alot of books over the course of 4 years, including much of Heinlein's works, Arthur C Clarke, and others. develops strong ethics and literally Forges Herself out of the books she chooses to read and approve of. On the computers, she also discovers that there is a very important word that describes her. Transgender. Once out of high school, s/he delves deeply into space-new-age spiritualities, buddhism and other such things, while also continuing to re-teach herself via the classical method of education, as best s/he can. During a deep meditation session with some buddhist monks, s/he has dreams and visions of former lives. Former lives which are clearly not of Earth. Over the course of several months, she somewhat integrates the past personalities into her own, and develops a 'space alien' self-identity because of it. S/he begins gender transition at this time, and chooses the name Rebekka. Concurrent with her attendance at the buddhist temple tower, she also cobbles together a large weaving loom. At first it is fairly simple, weaving basic non-patterned fabrics, but eventually, as she adds to it and improves it, the Loom, which she names Ancient Computer, develops into a more or less scratch-built automated Jacquard loom. It is veritably, a strangely baroque art-piece, in and of itself, which makes other art pieces, in the form of very intricate damask and paisley fabrics. Unfortunately, with a raise in rent on the spacious but otherwise stripped out studio apartment, the textiles that it makes, however valuable and able to cover the cost of thread and string/yarn purchases, and the cost of her hormones, does not fully pay for rent or food. A second job was needed, thusly. After much contemplation, Rebekka decides that the cities police forces is the better choice for her. Enrolling in it's training program, she does well enough, passing its trainings and tests. However, secure in her space-alien/Outsider identity, she is much less susceptible to 'thin blue line' syndrome, and is a respectable officer of not only the law, but also Justice, where possible. Assigned as a patrol officer for 5 years, Rebekka also manages to attend Capoeira classes, and builds a switch-shift style that zig-zags from capoeira to Krav-Maga, and back again. Yin and Yang, linear and circular. As a Patrol officer, Rebekka is often assigned to more LGBT zones of the city because of her being visibly transgendered. And then of course, a bad turn happens. Called to help secure and disperse an unruly crowd at a luxury car factory on the west side of NYC, Rebekka arrived to find the situation grim; Police officers were guarding owners, foremen, supply merchants, and Investors, who were were getting another pay increase, at the expense of workers, tradesmen, and their families. The former were smug, and the latter were desperate for a living wage. To Rebekka, it smacked and oozed of wrong-ness. Deciding that she had no real choice but to side with the workers, she stepped out of the police line, doffed her police jacket, hat, and belt in the cruiser, and donned a brown and duct tape jacket that someone had tossed away. Entering the crowd she tried to get them to rally and take decisive action. It only worked, sorta. A cameraman/ reporter, Nick Borody, questioned her about why she, a cop, was trying to get the crowd to rally and fight back. She answered truthfully; she saw that it was wrong, and stepped away from being an officer of The Law, which isn't always Justice. The crowd, however, decided otherwise, and attacked. Crowd-surfing her away from the police line and down to the ground, they took their rage out on her. First it was barehanded beating and kicking, and then it swiftly, viciously escalated to tool use. Someone in a power loader took hold of her, shattering the spine, arm and shoulder blade. Others took various power tools and cut off her arms and legs. Someone who had gotten ahold of afew guns, blasted shotgun and pistol rounds at her, piercing and obliterating internal organs. Another, with an extractor device, sucked her eyes out of their sockets. By the time the ambulance got to her, she was otherwise as good as dead. ~ The irony, however, is that she doesn't die from it; a mysterious organization steps in, and funds her cybernetic surgeries and rehabilitation. ..... and they have not yet come to call on her. Two years pass, with Rebekka just now being healed enough to resume working as a police officer. Edited by Rebekka Madison, Nov 27 2017, 08:39 AM.

Other stuff The technicolor flying meat-grinder/ The old rainbow monster - An antique 2097 hot rod hover truck, with a fully restored V-12 engine in it, with twin turbo kit, a decent sound system, a modular electronics station (including a laptop and several different radio's) in the cockpit, and dual fuel tanks. Rebekka had it skinned in a VCNP (variable color nano-polymer) layer of particulate, and then coated with an insulating transparent resin. This allows the pilot to change the color of the vehicle at whim, and can even add some effects to the hull, such as cascade, fade, stripes, dancing geometries, blink-switch and a custom setting called 'improvised police mode', for when s-hit happens, and rebekka needs to exert police authority, in spite of not being in a cruser at the time. The Nano-polymer also helps to repair any dents and dings one might acquire, over a number of weeks or months. It is also turbo-fan propelled, rather than ion-lifted, which means that it is very loud, slow to respond on the yoke, very easy to donut and drift around corners and bends, and responds better at lower altitudes. Driving this beast takes some finesse, as Rebekka learned the hard way. This is Rebekka's personal vehicle. Edited by Rebekka Madison, Nov 8 2017, 02:48 PM.
