ZeroDarkness

• Background:
• Description: Zero looks like a physically perfect human, with the addition of some cybernetics. She has small angular fins emerging from behind her ears, a diadem set into her forehead, and a set of data ports along the underside of her left forearm. The most obvious is her space propulsion unit, a segmented backpack with stabilizer fins and thrust ports affixed to her back. It's fairly slim in profile, but it does mean her clothes require some customization. She wears a silver and metallic red racing suit

Facts

• Origin: Zero was grown in a tank as a corporate-manufactured lifeform, for later training/programming and sale. She has some built-in technology (effectively a flashlight, smartphone, and computer), but is more quasi-organic than robotic on the inside. The Corporation kept her on as an office worker for several years before a buyer was found. Uses: Knows a fair amount about robots and artificial life, is familiar with corporate jargon and culture, and the psychology of dehumanization.
• Training: She was "employed" for several years as an exo-archaeological explorator unit, digging through derelict spacecraft and ancient ruins. One day she encountered a shard of the Cosmic Prism, which broke her programming locks and gave her a spark of divine power. Uses: Has a smattering of knowledge of many ancient cultures, can tell valuable from worthless artifacts, is pretty good at jury-rigging, breaking into vaults, and finding and removing traps.
• Relationship: Former property of the Hades Recovery Group. Zero was an extremely valuable unit to start with, and they believe her to be in possession of a a priceless artifact (in fact, she is not.) They have posted a significant bounty for her return, and may well raise the value of it if early efforts do not meet with success. Hades is old-money by the standards of non-Ancient Humanity, and have accumulated a great deal of wealth and power by raiding the ruins of fallen civilizations.
• Goal: Evade Capture, Make New Friends, Explore Freedom.

Possessions

• Adventuring Gear
  • Vacc Satchel. Zero doesn't own much. Almost all of it will fit in here, and it stays pressurized in space.
  • Identidisk. Zero actually has ID, unlike a lot of folks on the fringes of legitimacy.
  • Pen & Notebook. An actual literal pen and leather-and-paper journal. Anachronistic!
  • Laser pistol. Her Stormsword is much more lethal, but you can't see it. She carries the pistol so that people don't bother her.
  • Force Goggles. Project a transparent, green-glowing visor around her eyes, to protect from dust and so forth. Acts as a HUD. Attaches to interfaces on the side of her head.
  • Survey Scanner.
  • Navcomp.
  • Metatool.
• Possessions
  • Jet-Bike. Two-person seat, cargo compartment, long-range communicator. Something a scout or ranger would use, high on utility and low on looks. Has a bumper sticker reading "You Can't Take the Sky From Me."
