Elysium Paradox

The first thing one would notice about Elysium Paradox- was that she was a hard to miss girl- honestly the less clothing that adorned her form she would be quite content with. That hair of hers is always shaved on the sides and long on the top- styled into a messy mane that frames her feral face just fine. She is tall, thin, broad shouldered and with hips that support legs that lead down to a foot that will be right up your ass if you messed with her. Her eyes are a haunting blue, and her lips are almost always cherry red and lined with those archaic cigarettes (who smokes nowadays anyway), and her nails are black, red, blue, brown or whatever other color she finds amusing that week. While she is a woman of ever-changing style in regards to clothing, color, and piercings- and yet one thing always stays the same: those combat boots.

To look at Elysium one would assume she was a loose cannon- especially considering the fact that she was rampantly discordant with her clothing. Surprisingly enough she is a mellow girl with a need for constantly getting her fingers dirty. The only things that get her riled up is her sense of sexual abandonment, and explosives. 

She is a believer in 'you only live once'. 

Elysium is a voyeur- plain and simple- and the more scandalous the more she enjoys the thought of it. She is a commando in all forms and fashions. Sadly enough she isn't one for attachment and lets many partner know this- and for the most part they find that agreeable. Still she is loyal to her other two hunters till the end, because she knows that those two will have her back- no matter what. So it is probably no surprise she is brutally honest and surprisingly upbeat about it as well.

Elysium also has a terrible compulsion to 'air guitar' while listening to music. 

Abilities:

Now now- Elysium isn't one to leap between a bullet and its' destination, and she sure isn't peeling off a few of her own. Oh no the girl much more adores munitions instead. She is one of those folks that finds the: 'I wonder what this will do' more interesting than the 'will they live through this'. She leaves the fighting up to Piper and Val- and hopefully provides their weapons of choice with all the latest (or not so legal) mods available. Yet where she truly shines is demolitions- oh how the girl loves explosives. And while she is like every lover of things that go 'boom' she realizes that there is a time and place for ear ripping explosions and other times where you just want to rip the door from its' hinges at that is all. She is also good at 'party bombs', 'flash grenades', and currently is experimenting with various gas bombs in hopes of making a cocktail that will disable just about anything.

Equipment:

Like I said- she isn't one to be heavily loaded down with guns and the like and so instead sticks to toting around her beloved 'Shrapnel Scatter Shotgun' which shoots off small flechetes of metal that go at a speed to hopefully embed themselves in anything. Beyond that she is equipped with whatever demolitions they need for the mission along with her light plate body armor and beloved goggles. 

Augments:

Oddly enough Elysium has ear implants that allow her hearing to be like that of a cat- or maybe more so. She can also turn them off when things get too 'rowdy'. 

Elysium Paradox was not born Elysium Paradox- but another name entirely. One can speculate as to why she changed it, but one might just give up on rooting out the 'why' of it and just bask in the fact that it is a damn cool name. Her childhood was as normal and boring as many a kids- of course except for one small iota of difference- Elysium was born deaf. Sadly enough she came from a large family that had to provide, provide, and provide some more for the numerous children running about and didn't manage to get ear implants until she was far older and could help pay for them herself- working at a mechanics shop.

When she got them she immediately realized something: the world was noisy.

Still she was a smart girl and managed to score quite well in school and get into the engineering school of her choice. At first she had dreams of a Biochem major, but everything went South once she found her love of 'creation'. Surprisingly enough she managed to get a fairly formidable degree before disappearing off of the map entirely. It is fair to say that she went into some 'less than legal' tutelage shortly afterwards and ended up on the slightly dark side of gray.

Of course the old adage of: 'crime never pays' was given a slight addendum: 'except when you are hunting it'. 

Elysium never had high morals or the feelings of rending justice upon the wretched, but she did find her calling in being able to legally practice her art on those that deserved it. More so she found a sort of surrogate family in the other hunters- and considering the fact that she was used to being surrounded by folks: well it was only natural. 

So what about the voyeurism you say? Eh- that came in there somewhere- probably while attempting to get ahead in the world and realizing that sex pays quite well. 

Anyway so now she is helping to protect Ofelia- another one of those fancy new creations that put her 'tinker toys' to shame in their complexity. Ah well- it is a gig, it pays money, and more so it looks like there will be quite a shuffle to protect her.
