Affiliation: The Korps

Base of operations: While she has a permanent residence at RIV a more itinerant lifestyle she's never fully grown out of means she's more commonly found wherever the action is.

Agent Intel

Powers: Enhanced agility, electrical absorption, mental machine manipulation, nanoshaper.

Enhancements: Enhanced skeleton and muscle augmentation, further Korps enhancements to "crude" Institute genetic alterations to her natural feline agility, medical nano colony regeneration and body regulation.

Role: Infiltration - Striker - Distraction/Interference - Demolition.

Background: The self-styled “Angel Of Destruction.” Little is known about Nozomi’s past, (including a birth name she refuses to share with anyone but ROSE, who has agreed to keep it a secret) before her time as test subject Z-01. Institute files recovered indicate extensive enhancement that turned an average girl into an Olympic level gymnast with extensive hand to hand combat training under the tutelage of then Institute COO and now Korps operative Liara “Ice Queen” Dupree. However a side effect was the triggering of a latent mutation the best minds at the institute couldn’t fully grasp. Described by her as, “The song” Nozomi seems to share an almost telepathic bond with machines the way some psychics do with living creatures. Characterized by her as machines as music. The practical application being she can bend virtually anything mechanical/electronic to her whims with enough time and absorbed power, (or just overload with explosive results as she also learned trying to control it)

Her primary method of utilization of this power post Korps training is a personal combat grade nanoswarm tailored to her, the nano material stored in two bracelets on her wrists, and a secondary smaller collar. Said material able to be shaped into anything she needs. Including but not limited to clothing, armor, weapons, glide wings or other utility functions depending on the situation. A personal favorite trick being midair parkour via electromagnetic charges and split second timing with ROSE’s assistance. Creating nano cloud platforms that stay solid just long enough for her to kick off, leap up, and put her agility to use getting places she shouldn’t.

Weapons: In close quarter combat situations she has also been known to use extended claws shaped from the swarm, or blade feather wings to highly lethal effect. A personal favorite however is a nano swarm mockup of High Tide's trademark power hammer. She possess a severe disdain for firearms of all kinds and refuses to use them at all.

Barring that she's known to carry a small arsenal at any time comprised of flash bangs, smoke grenades, stink bombs, and portable explosives depending on the situation and mission parameters. And thermite, always, "Being on fire is very distracting!"

Psych Eval: Nozomi’s personality to this day still possesses a severe duality from the traumas she’s suffered and the mental conditioning done by a partially unwitting Liara (and also for her own reasons) during her time at the Institute. No middle ground at all despite ROSE’s and Liara’s efforts to help her recover from a life forged into a weapon, and the loss of close friends during the events that led to her recruitment into the Korps.

Note from Strix: If she opens up? Boomy will either be your most loyal friend or your worst damn enemy. And trust me, you want to be the first. She’s gone above and beyond bringing wrath to those who cross her, those who wronged her, or those who hurt anyone she does consider a friend.

Highly recommended to pair her with operatives that can keep a cool head, try to keep her on task, or are very adaptive to her wild streaks. More than one after action report has contained mentions of what she jokingly terms as “Plan B happened” due to her impulsive nature.

Note from Reroll: Plan B may as well be called, I got bored, and something blew up. She’s amazing at thinking on the fly when it comes to that song of hers though. And does go out of her way to avoid harming innocents. Just don’t be between her and a target once she’s got one. For better or worse the institute’s conditioning makes her a demon in combat.

It's hoped from those around her that further time in the Korps will allow old wounds to heal, and help her find herself as a person instead of seeing herself as just a weapon.
