Title: Cora Kanagawa
Description: Bio


Cora - February 23, 2011 03:50 PM (GMT)
Codename: Slugger (for lack of a better handle)
Real Name: Cora Kanagawa

Affiliation: Renegade
Origin: Born to a doctor and his scientist wife, Cora lost her arms during her teens during an unfortunate spelunking incident. Using highly advanced nanotechology and other advances in medical science, they replaced the damaged limbs with metallic arms - stronger, better, lighter. The nanites used in connecting her body to her artificial arms maintain her health and well-being at a cellular level, always repairing and preserving.

Powers/Abilities/Skills: Superhuman strength, speed, dexterity; enhanced regeneration. Speed and dexterity aren't as enhanced as her strength. A nice side effect is negligible aging. Trained in Muay Thai and speaks Japanese, Mandarin and English. Her fighting style is that of a brawler and is more efficient than it is graceful.

o Level 1: Able to break/lift most small to medium sized items without trying e.g. household appliances, doors, forcing open elevators slightly, lifting cabinets with a single palm etc.. Overall, a better athlete than anyone could ever dream to be. Also minor injuries like small bruises and cuts heal almost instantaneously. More serious injuries between 10-20 minutes.
o Level 2: Able to lift/break heavier and larger objects e.g. 200 pound safe, rip open a car door, can withstand deeper cuts and more serious wounds. Those take a few more seconds to heal. (5-15 minutes)
o Level 3: Able to lift/break even heavier stuff e.g. fold the hood of a car or rip its top off and origami the hell out of it. Able to sustain otherwise fatal injuries (5-10 minutes for healing)
o Level 4: Think the Hulk. Injuries that would kill any normal human being instantaneously would just register as potentially fatal (Anywhere between 3-10 minutes to heal properly)

Weaknesses: Electricity (depending on dosage. Electromagnetism also affects the nanites in her system)

Equipment: So far just her arms which are made of Unassailium, inscribed with buddhist sutras around the upper edges. Her parents put it there for good luck.

Appearance: Cora stands around 1.75m tall. Shapely with long black wavy hair and fair skin, almond shaped eyes and rosebud mouth that seems more naturally inclined to smirking as opposed to smiling. Her smiling looks like smirking most times anyway.
o Civilian: Always wears Opera length gloves to hide her metal arms all the way till above her elbow. Depending on her mood, Cora will wear whatever she feels like wearing - jeans, boots, dresses, traditional wear etc...
o Costumed: No. Well, maybe a leather jacket for a 'kill uniform'.

Team (if applicable): Hikari Medical Technologies (the company her parents work for)

Miscellaneous:(OOC: In case anyone needs a physical representation - here....closest person I can get)

Note:
The nanites are intelligent and basically repair her at a cellular level. They evolve and are self-perpetuating. Already Cora's experiencing changes in her metabolism and physicality. She has no idea where this will eventually lead.
