Velocity:
ve·loc·i·ty
n.
1. Rapidity or speed of motion; swiftness.
2. Daughter of Kayle and Hydra/Epsilon.
Signature:
Lanky. Sleek. Thin. Bony. These could be all be applied to Velocity, depending on your tastes and outlook on life. The things everybody agrees on, though, are her speed and her personality. Calm and direct, Velocity prefers not to dance around issues when it comes to interpersonal relations. Some aspects of her, however, are closely guarded. She prefers not to say why.
Appearance is simple: A greyhound done in dark grey psudorubber with texture varying according to what the surface in question requires, going from sleek and smooth to extreme griptex depending on need and whims. Joints, spine, and exhaust ports in the small of her back are highlighted with titanium-nitride-coated aluminum, goldtone metal offsetting the silvery-grey of her hide. Optics are void-black and, while lacking in color and cues, manage not to be too creepy. She is nude, but there's nothing worth taking in anyway.
Like her birth-mother, Velocity is a living engine. In this case, experimental hydrogen fusion. At rest her intakes are closed, her exhaust is only slightly above room-temperature, and there's a naught but a low thrum serving as evidence of operation. Her voice is a quiet feminine synth that carries the same undertone as her reactor core. It's entirely possible that Velocity lives up to her name on the Zipways, given the power she's capable of generating, though she tends not to show off without need.
You have the strangest feeling that Velocity is watching you, even though she isn't looking at you. Or is she?
Data:
Information under this heading isn't quite common IC knowledge. Questions or covert scans would divulge most of these things. -The Mgmt.
- There are two small hypertags embedded in Velocity's local dataspace. One summarizes her relation to Hydra and warns of a potential Strangevirus infection hazard, while the other warns of a potential radiation/explosion hazard due to the nature of her main powerplant.
- Velocity's main powerplant by a hydrogen fusion reactor. Primary fuel source is water, which is electrically 'cracked' to release the hydrogen required. She has a small ZPE power source for this task, which doubles as an emergency backup should she ever run out of fuel.
- At idle, engine exhaust is mostly oxygen and helium at room temperature.
- While in flight, a series of forcefield guides activate around her primary intake and extend forward and out, scooping water vapor from the atmosphere into a series of condensers, which is then sent directly into her reaction chamber. Similarly, for better control at speed, a variety of forcefield-based control surfaces and plasma vectoring devices activate during flight as well. Her top speed is unknown.
- Her skin is a distant cousin of imexiline.
- Nerves are insulated copper strands, though they follow organic growth patterns. Muscle mass is comprised of electrically-activated myomer bundles, which have been grown instead of assembled as well.
- Blood is a thick soup of nanomachines and oil, silvery-grey in the light. This serves to repair damage from regular usage, as well as perform minor internal upgrades over time. It scabs over within moments, and injuries heal in a fraction of the time compared to flesh and blood with the same damage.
- Her 'brain' is a mass of primitive Strangevirus, or mirrorstuff. It's unclear just how this works.
- She posesses a direct link to the datasphere, as well as a myriad array of sensors and datafeeds. Like the details of her brain, Velocity's capabilities aren't completely clear.
- Velocity does not exist as a seperate character yet, simply an object used to refer people to this page.
