Avalon

Avalon is a combat cyborg demi-human. She was created almost a hundred years ago, but has no memory of her life before arriving on Initium-12. Avalon has long dusty blond hair she keeps in a ponytail along with cat ears, pale skin, red eyes, a petite body, but is tall.

Avalon's body is mostly cybernetic, with little of her original flesh and organs remaining. All four of her limbs are cybernetic, and while her torso seems original, it's covered in bits of implants that snake throughout her body that keeps her alive. The tech inside of Avalon dates back to 2175, but is constantly upgraded and replaced, leaving behind a Frankenstein's web of mismatched cybernetics and augments. She has a mantis blade hidden in her right arm, a bola sling hidden in her right arm, and an last ditch single use shotgun in her knee.

Avalon usually wears a combat harness over full red body armor both of which are under an old grey industrial jacket with neon yellow high vision stripes and lots of pockets. When not on a mission, Avalon usually just wears a loose tank top and underwear since it doesn't get caught on the bits of cybernetics poking out of her skin, though she will wear pants while in public.

Avalon has flashes of memories, but they're inconsistent. She has memories of being cold, of snow that shines like diamonds. She remembers a voice that sounds like her own, but far younger and more hopeful singing. She remembers a group of people that were like family, though she can't place any of their faces or names. And she knows she had a deep distaste for the government and corporations. Avalon's oldest intact memory is waking up in the lower levels of Netsu, Initium-12's largest colony. She had been shot several times, and had her head cracked open, though that didn't seem to have been what caused her memory loss. After getting patched up, Avalon retraced her steps, piecing together that she was a combat cybrog due to her built in weaponry and combat skills, though she's not fully aware of her full capabilities. She decided to become a bounty hunter since she was already registered as one. It's been about 5 years since then.

Avalon doesn't know it, but her memories come from an idol who lived over a hundred years ago who's stage name was also Avalon. The original Avalon's real name was Eileen Braun, and she lived on the colony of Triton before humanity left the Sol System. Eileen was anti-corpo, and founded a non-violent group named Seshat that fought back against Corporate greed, though they ultimately failed. Eileen was obsessed with ancient Egypt. Eileen was killed during a police raid when she was in her late 20's. No one knows if Avalon is Eileen brought back to life and given a longer life span, or if she's a clone, or a machine implanted with Eileen's memories. However Avalon doesn't know anything about Eileen.

The Plutus Corporation, owned by Mariam and Edward Peregrine, is a pharmaceutical company that focuses mainly on supplements and medications that assist in human adaptation. Due to humanity living on a multitude of worlds they didn't evolve for, it's lead to a large amount of birth defects, nutritional issues, and other side effects such as brittle bones. To combat this most humans are on a slurry of medication, especially when traveling to planets they weren't born on. This has caused pharmaceutical companies to quickly grow into some of the most important and profitable in the world, with Plutus Corp. being the 12th richest pharmaceutical company.

Avalon lives on her own and has no close friends or allies. She hates the government and corporations for how they treat Demi-humans, but she chooses to keep her head down. However if Avalon was nudged in the right direction, she could become the biggest member in the movement against the corporations.

Avalon's closest friend is a Jackal Demi-human named Luna, who hates humans with a passion and has a bad habit of getting into trouble, but always seems to find a way to wriggle out of even the worst situations. Luna is petite, has grey hair, and is hot headed and quick to start a scrap but never get's into a real fight. Luna is part of a petty gang that works mostly in selling drugs.

In this world, Demi-humans have co-existed alongside humans. But they're seen and treated as secondary citizens. Demi-humans are taken advantage of constantly. They're seen as dumb and eager to please. Cat, Fox, and Dog Demi-humans are fetishized and often find employment as sex workers or are taken advantage of because of this stigma.
