Backstory:

Irina was born in Ufa Russia, her family home a small one story house in the poorer part of the city. But despite the less than fortunate circumstance, Irina would learn to be strong and keep her head up from her father, a man who worked tirelessly to bring his family a better future. Irina can remember her mother was soft, gentle when she was little but over time the financial struggles and the stress dulled her heart slowly growing colder and more distant. Irina's father did what he could to keep the family together but inevitably he fell behind as he had to spend so much time at work. Irina had seen the slow deterioration for a long time and was only 9 years old when she attempted to do something about it. The Soviet/Afghan war had been raging on for years at this point and the Soviets were looking for a way to quickly snuff out Afghan resistance. And so in the shadows halls of a classified base, a Soviet commander reached out to the Veiled Accord and bought a Black Talon, and several chemical weapons. But to use these chemical weapons, they needed a few disposable assets no one would come looking for, and so the Little Beast's program was made. It targeted poor Hybrid families, offering financial aid in exchange of children under 16 joining a camp where children would learn camaraderie, basic self-defense, and patriotism. Word of the project was spread like wildfire through poor Hybrid communities through targeted propaganda and information campaigns and before long word of it reached Irina.

At first she presented her father with the proposition, but he had refused, not wanting to entrust his only daughter to some program the government insisted a little too hard for her to join. But Irina continued to insist and eventually would allow Irina to join. Here Irina would hold her first rifle, bond with her pack through wrestling and training, and most importantly, would begin to get her family some financial aid. However it was too little and too late and things would change when Irina's parents would separate. Irina's mother just couldn't live with the stress of the financial situation and would leave Irina's father to instead marry a richer man. It was a brutal decision but when Irina's mother viewed as necessary for survival, a sentiment Irina didn't quite agree with. Almost immediately Irina's head strong and stubborn personality her father had instilled her with clashed with the absolute obedience her new stepfather demanded. This would lead to constant explosive arguments that would erupt over the smallest of things. The only reason Irina endured was to be able to meet her father regularly. But the separation had taken a toll on him, both mentally and physically, and only a year later he was declared dead when he had gotten into a fatal car crash, driving off a bridge which was reportedly a suicide. And so with the reason for her staying, Irina would run away from home and live in the barracks of the Little Beast's program. With no real family to return to, Irina would throw herself into training harder and more fully, very quickly proving herself ready for a task she had no clue she was actually preparing for. Irina and her pack was deployed to Afghanistan and armed with several canisters of The Accord's most potent chemical compound, Chemical X. Using the fact they were mere children, Irina and her group were able to slip far behind enemy lines without being detected to deploy these canisters in target rich environments. The chemical X tore through the Afghan base like a plaque, the lethal agent liquefying internal organs, turning eyes to sludge, and melting the flesh off its victims while they were still alive. Irina and her group were quite frankly terrified at what they had witnessed. They were told they were serving their country, not melting people alive. Without even deploying all of the canisters, Irina lead her group back toward the extraction point, only to learn that there was no extraction point. And so Irina realized then. They weren't supposed to survive, they were just tools, and now that they had fulfilled there function, they had been thrown away and forgotten. But to really ensure no one had escaped, the most zealous one of them all, would pull the pin on the grenade strapped to their chest, killing nearly the entire group. The aftermath of the explosion was no less chaotic. The sudden explosion, the revelation of their true purpose, and the paranoia of not knowing what was real anymore, the survivors descended into chaos, gunning each other down, some freezing in absolute terror, while some formed smaller groups and raced off into the desert. Irina was one of those who ran. But Irina had no group. As the leader, everyone suspected her to be the one to orchestrate the whole thing and she was quick to find herself alone. With nothing but what little supplies she had in her bag, Irina had attempted to find sanctuary in a village marked on her map. But it was nothing but an illusion of safety. the fact she was alone meant she had to move much more cautiously, thus arrived far later, meaning she had avoided the massacre that happened there. Just to really, really make sure no one came back from that mission, the maps given to the group had a village marked as a civilian safe zones, and so when survivors would gravitate toward it, the third nasty surprise of the mission would present themselves. Omicron class Talon, designation The Imperfect One, was unleashed from its container and let loose in the supposed safe zone, and so instead of safety, what the ragged survivors found was a snarling and blood crazed figure armed with weapons far too advance for anything the Soviets had at the time. It was an absolute slaughter, the untrained soldiers the Little Beast's program had produced horribly unequipped against the killing machine... or well must of them. When Irina arrived to the kill zone, she had the fortune to at least get a heads up something was wrong, hearing the erratic gunfire of her former squad mates as they tried to fend off the beast, as well as the horrible wet sounds as they were literally hacked limb from limb. But still, the precious supplies on the corpses were too tempting for Irina's starved and dehydrated body to ignore, and plus, somewhere deep down in her gut she wanted to rescue any of those who survived. But instead of just blindly wandering in, Irina waited a few days, circling the village and mapping it out before in the middle of the night sneaking in. Though Irina had severely underestimated The Omicron's capabilities. Despite quite literally being called the " Imperfect One," it was one of, if not the most lethal thing in the entire continent at the time, only imperfect in the fact it was clinically insane. It found Irina as she was looting a body of one of her unfortunate squad mates. The beast's hysterical laughter rang out in the night, a jagged, crazed thing as it ripped at Irina's body, tearing off her body armor and was about to start taking chunks of flesh when Irina acted out of pure instinct. Years ago her father had always taught her, anything on two legs, no matter how big or strong could not withstand a solid kick to the groin. And so while she was nearly being torn apart, Irina brought her knee up, adrenaline lending her extra strength, ramming the hard bone right into the creature's crotch. Now whether or not the Imperfect One has genitals was unsure but one thing for certain was being hit there was not pleasant. The creature howled in a mix of pain and a little bit of confusion. No one has ever been brave, or rather stupid enough to attempt something like that. In that confusion was hesitation, the brief window of inaction allowing Irina to grab her knife and stab the living weapon in the chest. Now obviously this wasn't enough to kill the beast and the brutal melee continued, but the ferocity in which Irina fought to survive was enough to catch their attention. A containment team of the Accord had been on stand by to collect the Omicron after the job was done and while their original orders were to not interfere, seeing how this one soldier, barely more than a child fought so fiercely against one of their most lethal assets, decided she was worth breaking the rules. The Imperfect One was subdued with a highly concentrated sedative administered to the back of the head via dart. Irina, bloody and grievously wounded would barely get to see her saviors before passing out and falling into a coma for 4 weeks. When she awoke, she found herself treated and laying on a hospital bed surrounded by figures clad in white coats. They offered no comfort, nor showed any signs of sympathy, merely giving her care until she was good to stand on her two feet. But she wasn't sent back home, instead escorted to an office where she'd meet with Sister-02, The Mistress. The woman was immensely tall, towering over Irina and the guards who escorted her at 8 feet tall, her skin as pale as the moon's surface. Irina didn't get to see her face, that was bathed in the shadow cast by the large circular hat perched atop her head. Irina was faced with a proposition: Join the Accord, or be tossed back into the sea of despair that was her life with nothing but the clothes on her back. Now accepting the deal of a 8 foot tall pale lady on paper was an obvious no, but Irina didn't really have a choice. Her stepfather wouldn't take her back, she couldn't live on the streets as far as the Soviets were concerned, she was dead and would do anything to ensure it stayed that way. And so Irina would take the offer, joining the ranks of the Accord. For the next decades Irina worked with the Accord, trained to be an elite member of Sweeper Team-096, Cryptid Catchers, as clearly she had the natural grit to face a murderous Talon. Mission after mission, year after year of service, Irina has become a respected member within ST-096, and has ascended to rank of Squad Commander, leading a squad of her own to contain escaped Talons.
