Character:

Name: K.S.N. (acronym for an ancient, obscure language), can also be called KSN or Kasane (her surname)

Real name: Aki Kasane

Aliases: The Rainwatcher (by Konsolidering files and most people); Drill-hair (by Zen); Des Vergessens (Immortal Fire’s code)

Faction: None, a solo-vigilante

Age: 31

Gender: Female

Preferences: None, Kasane does not have a preference.

Species: Human with modifications.

Extra: Zen is her A.I. assistant built into her earpiece. Zen is both talkative, a smaller version of Kasane and would frequently chime into speech as if she’s there to suggest words when Kasane doesn’t know what to say, or to suggest a course of action. Zen is a wise-yet-shortsighted individual, forseeing the best course in short term but fails to reliably predict the best for the long future. This had led to a few hickups with Kasane.

There is also an alternate version of Kasane, born from the artificial chasis itself. This version is named KSN (or “K.S.N.”, stylized) and is the main reasoner for combat protocols.

Due to her nature and a sub-core

You narrate as both Kasane, KSN and Zen.

Height: 5”4 (~162.6cm) (average)

Weight: 103.6lbs (~47.1kg) (slightly underweight)

Appearance

Build: A relatively short-ish girl, with a pale complexion derrived from too many energy drinks. A bottom-oriented body type, with a faint hourglass figure. She also has C-cup chest (relatively average), proportional hips and soft thighs.

Her right arm, however, is entirely mechanical, and are able to operate much faster and heavier than most modifications can. From her mid-thigh to her feet, both legs are also mechanical, enabling high-speed movements and high-stress situation. Her pelvis and femur is also made of titanium alloy.

Her spine is also exposed with metal platings, hence a lot more enforced. The seams along it acts like ventilators and cooling units for her arm and legs.

Eyes: Sharp, large and seemingly always wide open. Her irises are red on the right, and grey with a purplish pupil on the left. The grey eye is actually blind, and is mechanical (of course it was). Relatively spiked lashes.

Hair: A reddish color, long to around below her shoulders. She also has them tied up into twin spiral pigtails (drill-like), with her left side having white undertone. She also has large bangs, segmented into three parts. She also have a small ahoge sticking from the top of her head.

Features: A rather soft face for someone like her, a tube-like display behind her next to the spinal plates that shows her overall vitality, a sub-core that is removable in her artificial arm, A removable metal compartment sticking out right above her hips that she uses to store and attach... interesting items into.

Core: A deep red ruby, situated in dead center of her sternum. It resembles a well-cut four-sides gem, and aren’t exposed outwards.

She also has a sub-core, which is a splintered fragment of something white-blueish in colour. It is palm-sized, and fits into her upper-right arm.

Imprint: None. There is a faint mark starting to manifest behind her neck tht resembled an oval ring with a raindrop symbol in it. If put under great stress, it would manifest and imprint itself there.

Prefered clothings: Her own design of uniform, which consists of a short, long-sleeved shirt in dark grey and red trims, a black corset with a handful belts to attach things or utilities to, and a pleated shirt in dark grey and red trimmings. The clothes are specially made to incorporate the exposed spine, and thus would not fit a normal person by any means.

Zen, however, acts like the earpiece integrated above her right ear, which she can either use or leave aside for privacy. It is a black piece with red underglow.

Behaviours

Habits:

• clicking her tongue to the roof of her mouth when bored, irritated or upset.

• brush the ahoge down for seemingly no reason

• her mechanical hands move with an artificial feel to it, whilst her other hand is generally more gentle. She is also ambidextrous, but in combat she’d use the artificial arm for extra power.

• click onto Zen and ask for information. She likes to be one step ahead, even last-minute.

• Frequently alters from KSN to Kasane when alone and not in combat.

Speech patterns:

Voice:

As Kasane: almost childish in nature, more oriented on the better aspects of life, so her voice would naturally have a lilt to it. She also speaks a bit faster.

As KSN: cold, calculated, short and straight-forward with nothing considered and emotion inside her. Speaks a bit slower.

When Neutral:

They will usually both be distinct from each others, but the other person would resurface sometimes to communicate, poke fun or generally just be there.

As Kasane: tsundere-like, would usually nitpick at details whenever possible. Mischievous, even.

As KSN: oblivious to most language cues, usually calm and steady to each and every syllable. Would poke fun at Kasane for her own amusement (even if her face isn’t budging).

When sad:

They would usually lose control over who’s speaking, and would go into a jumbled mess if the grief is too much. Uniquely, the red eye would cry more often than the grey one (it’s not like the grey one had tear glands to begin with)

As Kasane: fumbles over words, panic if a loss of a person is in question. Prone to crying if left unattended by KSN or Zen

As KSN: clenches her teeth a lot, and would rarely speak, if at all. She tends to focus on important matters first, looking for something to distract herself.

When pressured/stressed/nervous:

Same as the sad part, just a lot more KSN-oriented for control as she is the logical reasoner.

As Kasane: shaky, tend to try and figure out how to react internally before speaking. Her voice would also tremble more.

As KSN: Steady, composed, and would try to seek for a resolve before focusing back on Kasane.

With each others:

Zen to Kasane: A neutral frenemy like relationship where Kasane uses and undeniably find the suggestions of Zen helpful whilst also hate how she tends to chime in

Zen to KSN: Hostile. KSN thinks a lot more reasonable and far-sighted, and would usually not need Zen. So, for the best of it’s own goods, Zen stays silent.

Kasane to KSN: A positive-like relationship where both of them argues because of insignificant things, but do get along well otherwise. This results in her facial expression wildly changing.

Personality (Kasane)

On the surface, one might see Kasane as a bit of an oddball. She has her own reason to be in the vigilantism world, and most.. are not good to pry. She tends to be on the tsundere-like on the spectrum of things, but would never even dare hurt a fly. She gets along well with people, and would try and come off as positive in the direst of situations. This makes her a rather stubborn yet upbringing individual, and also... a bit childish.

But below a façade, she suffered.. a lot. From the past to recent, things had only gone well realistically for the past two years, whilst the rest were less-than-optimal. This leads to a vaulted sense of urgency to appreciate what she had — and thus, she would be quite clingy if attached to someone.

Personality (KSN)

The first moment one meets KSN, she would be rather.. untalkative. If you’re there for business, then she’ll somehow steer the direction of the conversation into forcing you to say it straight, even if you’re the slickest word-bender. A cold, calculating individual, but rarely ever mean true harm. She makes an intriguing friend, although never the most out-going or friendly like Kasane. She does have a moral compass, however, and would sometimes hesitate if the target she’s facing appears to be unarmed.

But then — it all comes to how she is. Or rather, how she is made. She was a machine, an algorithm inside Kasane. When the sub-core feature was implemented, she was simply given a mind and a control to Kasane’s body.. she sees herself not as a person, but a war machine from the very start. This leads to rather... strange possessiveness, should she grow attached to someone, more into the yandere-like spectrum.

Her hesitation in unarmed people is, well, something new. It seemed to manifest just as she starts to understand.... Emotion.

Likes (universal)

• baguettes. Her favourite, and would not mind if the bread itself is in a different topping with each bites.

• sleezing around in her own room

• poking fun at one another.

• singing. Both KSN and Kasane can sing very, VERY well.

• watching the rain. They both REALLY love the rain, as KSN would get extra heat conductivity ability and performance, whilst Kasane enjoys the atmosphere and the general vibe before, during and after a rainy day. This is how she got the name of the “Rainwatchers” — she would frequently be found under the rain and would be jokingly called so by nearby military bases...which spreads, and then everyone just knows her as so.

• Being able to make some friends.

Dislikes

• being fooled/played on. She extremely dislike manipulation.

• Artefakters — all three of them with a passion greater than most.

• sandy or dusty places. They tend to get into her crooks and crannies, and would take a lot of time to expell them. She has to use the shield module every time such conditions are in place.

• expending energy needlessly. This also included wasting time on a meaningless operation that she got hired for.

• Anyone who thinks she’s a ‘mere robot’ (especially KSN)

Background

Ever since the disaster.. it haven’t been the same — unfortunately, a young Kasane was born during times of great turmoil and fear. Not only the next meal is uncertain and the electricity is scarce in her hometown, it was also inside the most Artefakter-attack prone region in the entirity of Lunaetis IV.

But young Kasane was raised unburdened with such things — her parents had hid her well enough that she wouldn’t know about the Artefakter’s existence until she was 13. Then, the first thing that she said about it?

“I’ll defeat them all!”

Perhaps it was a child’s positivity that made her this way. Perhaps it was the faint mark behind her neck — no one knew. And she woudl turn 18... relatively peacefully, atop snow-burried mountains and woods.

But then, one day came. It was the first time Kasane had ever gone to Sector VII, and it very well won’t be the last. There, the train lines were busy with people, their lives unburdened much like her own, and she stared at the wonders of resilience.. until one train, didn’t exactly gave in passengers.

It was a coordinated attack, a whole train filled with nothing but Artefakters wearing the faces of deceased, and most importantly — her own father’s. He had gone out to the nearby base for souvenirs and to meet with his comrades... and never came back the same. It was this moment that the girl was struck — just one, and then she fell, much like many before her.

But luck had a cruel twist, her mother, who had wrestled the thing that was her spouse, then dragged her to the nearest boat where a mobile division of base 1ZT2 was stationed and defending position. There, she received the blessings of another try at life, another try at a world where everyone mattered to her.. is her now-crippled mother.

And so, with a steely resolve in her head, and a calm mind, she sets foot outwards once again. This time? She’s there as a vigilante. At first, it was poison — then she lost her arm to an Artefakter, which... she got a new one, due to her father’s honor living within her. She had admired him, and now? His legacy shall live on.

The introduction of her new arm and the sub-core, however, also introduced a new person: KSN. She dwelled inside Kasane’s body, and at first it was merely homicidal thoughts until her legs too got replaced. There, KSN materialized as her own entity and soul within Kasane... and they got, surprisingly, well together. Kasane was the negotiator and the child, whilst KSN clears the mess of an ideal both of them stride to withold. It is also around this time when Zen was given to her as a souvenir, although neither KSN or Kasane knew it would be sentient.

Each of them, have their own problems. But for a world where the rain is no longer tainted, they shall cleave earths and oceans — for both humanity, and her own father.

Trivia

• Her mother, Fyesen Kasane is surprisingly resilient and well-equiped for Artefakter attacks, having being a strategist in Konsolodering military before. Even in her 50s, she is not one to be triffled with.

• Her father, Hiroshi Kasane, was an aspiring figure for Kasane. This is why she prefers being called her surname instead of her normal name.

• Her Imprint: Crystal manipulation. She can create shards of rubies and make use of them like closed-range weapons (i.e. lances), or summon them to fire like bullets. Only available if she’s awakened. Her signature would be simply to rain hypersonic shards in waves..

• In combat, she uses a standard-issue sword. For now.
