[edit] Affiliations

Angelique has links to the Silent Tempest only, and that only because of her grandfather Andre Kraft. She is designated unit of Caliburn 14 Unit A operated by Caliburn 14 system.

[edit] Personality

When she first arrived in our timeline she was paranoid, highly distrustful of everyone and acting more on instincts like an animal. After many months in out world and patient help from her only friend Chaos Augury and grandfather Coile she had become more sociably acceptable. She doesn't talk much, only when she has to and then in short and choppy sentences. She is rarely heard talking more than that. She interested in all types of technology and it seems that her life is centered on collecting technology and adapting it to her needs. All the time she is unemotional and talking in in flat and equal voice. The only exception to that is when someone tries to touch her. Most probably caused by traumas of her own grim future she has a strong revulsion about being touched without her permission. The only two people she seems to trust are Chaos Augury and Coile. She still acts crude, without tact and everything is a barter or salvage for her, but she doesn't seem good in deceiving. She says directly what is on her mind. In her attempt to adapt she sometimes copy Augury's behavior or things she does. Like this she even learned a value of using a spoon for eating instead of using her hands. Through Augury she was also exposed to wonders of modern culture like TV, American Idol, makeup and ever popular book bestsellers as "How to Find a Husband". Lately she even started to show some altruistic tendencies although she never admits them.

[edit] Motivation

Originally she came here to stop her future from happening. She still tries hard to make sure of that. Her main motivation in life was to survive but lately she found other goals like protecting Chaos Augury (although mostly unneeded), Lady Cobra, Jessica Chang and helping Spidermonkey.

[edit] Abilities

Angelique was upgraded and created to survive. Subdermal armor, enganced endoskeleton, claws, sensors, internal life support, force propulsion and force fields is just a beginning of her enhancements. Originally she is a mutant with capability to produce large amounts of power. The amount of power produced is much larger than that recorded in her grandfather or his sister and Angelique is almost literally walking power plant. All that energy is harnessed by her implants and used to power them up. Without them she would experience an overload and destrooy herself in the process. All her physical attributes are enhanced and fortified and even some mental ones. She obviously does not possess any conscious knowledge about technology or electronics, but she always knows that goes where, what to do and how. Like some database is implanted in her and she can access it unconsciously when needed. All of her systems and functions are regulated by a massive OS called Caliburn 14. At first she wasn't able to project energy in the manner Coile was able to before his medical accident, but in last few months she learned how to do it. She can to a lesser degree cause centered and wide area blasts as Coile was able to.

[edit] Vulnerabilities

Her only two real vulnerabilities are possible malfunction of either her power distribution and management unit, which would cause an overload that would kill her, or temporal clamps unit that keeps her anchored in our timeline even after her own future and existence become impossible.

[edit] Character History

Born in the future after three Rikti wars that devastated Earth and a final invasion of a race known as Jondahl. Jondahl were originally contacted to combat Rikti but they turned on humans and Rikti alike causing almost complete extinction of both. In that future humans have to hide among ruins of their world avoiding extermination units and trying to survive the best they can. In that future Angelique was enhanced with self upgrading cybernetics when she was a child. It is not known who did it, but evidence point at her grandfather Coile and Hand of Andros. She was raised by an AI NIGHTSPARROW. NIGHTSPARROW was a memory copy of Melanie Aveline-Kraft, infamous vigilante and grandmother of Angelique. Using Zirgei Kraft's technology her memories and personality were turned into an AI. NIGHTSPARROW thought Angelique how to survive and kept her safe. Angelique learned how to fight and survive and her cybernetics made that even more easier. It seems that NIGHTSPARROW AI had a major role in finding an experimental temporal portal, contacting the resistance and organizing the team that was supposed to go to the past and stop their present from happening, but it seemed that AI ahd other hidden agendas too, possibly about changing her own past. Angelique and the team went to the past just when Jondahl found the portal site and destroyed it. Once in our time, with NIGHTSPARROW's help Angelique started salvaging, upgrading herself and making a control center. Oddly some of the AI's memory blocks about past were locked. Who did it or why is left unclear but it all led to Angelique meting her grand-grandfather Zirgei Kraft who gave her a lot of needed technology in exchange for detailed scan of her and her tale of the future. He even gave her one of the ND unit bodies for NIGHTSPARROW AI, but in the long run body proved to be incompatible with AI core. By pure stroke of luck she one day met Chaos Augury, a carefree and bubbleheaded girl capable to change probabilities. Soon two of them made one of the most unusual pairs ever. Bubbly, chatty and carefree Augury and grim, silent and gloomy Angelique. She also met her grandfather Coile and although they had a rough start soon they become relatively close. But, time manipulation had its price. Melanie Kraft died thus making Angelique and NIGHTSPARROW AI an impossibility. AI was erased from the existence and its last thing was to activate a temporal clamps for Angelique to prevent her fading. Uncalibrated clamps almost killed Angelique but Coile and ND-5 helped her to fix the problem. But death of Nightsparrow also changed the future somehow. Angelique's future was not a certainty anymore and it faded. She did what she came to do and was left stranded in time of wonders unknown to her. TV shows, movies, ice cream and popcorn were all things of wonder to her. Coile and especially Augury helped her adapt as much as they could and now Angelique is even seen by the media as a hero, although she and Augury are simply at the right time on the right place. Angelique made a battle armor for Coile from salvage she collected, and is maintaining it regularly. When Rikti invaded she made another for herself and is making one for Augury. She clashed with her "family" the Krafts after Coile fell into a coma. She went that far to proclaim open war with them demanding that they should hand Andreas Kraft to her. She was afraid that this even will lead to her future repeating itself. She invaded Hand of Andros hideout in attempt to take Andreas by force and during the action an accident happened and Coile was left fully braindead. After a Mexican standoff she made a deal with Zirgei and stayed there overwatching and upgrading the hideout until Andreas was released to Diana Bright. She accepted Coile's death as a normal part of life. Angie is working on parts to help Xan rebuilding his space pod so that he can return to his homeworld and trying to reproduce alien technology of Xan's people. She admitted to herself that Augury is her friend and is secretly watching over Andreas.

Lately her life changed a lot when Crey sent Arana to bring her dead or alive, Angie won the combat but she met Arana later in RWZ which ended up in open confrontation. Angie was arrested by Vanguard but was released soon afterwards with help of Lady Cobra who felt responsible for Angie since she is a grandchild of her spiritual sister Nightsparrow. Because of Angie's immaculate RWZ record until this incident, legal problems because she was a minor and a large sum Lady Cobra paid as bail Angie was released. To everyone's surprise there was also a group of young people who saw Angelique as a symbol of fight against oppression and who protested in he favor. Her reputation and following increased after the article in Paragon City Teen where she was presented as technopunk teen hero idol. Of course she did not understand why people would do that so to her all that did not mean much and she saw her "followers", gifts and fan mail as irrelevant and a waste of time. Because of legal issues Lady Cobra become her guardian and Angie moved into her place to live with Lady Cobra and Jessica. She soon turned her room into a literal junkyard and workshop while whole apartment got various technological upgrades. She accepted Lady Cobra and Jessica as new members of her extended "family" and swore to protect them. Although she never shows it or admits it it seems that she has a soft spot towards Jessica, and sees her almost as a sister while Lady Cobra is a bit of an authority figure to her. She helped Lady Cobra to heal her wounded spine and acted fiercely protective of Jessica when she was abused by her boyfriend beating him up nastily for that. She also tried to collect sperm samples from "good genetic pools" for Lady Cobra wising that Lady Cobra has another child. That failed miserably, of course, and fortunately she was convinced to stop with that.

Latest good development in her life was meeting Spidermonkey who offered her resources and technology for her help and company. It seems that in Spidermonkey Angie finally found someone to whom she can connect with literally and figuratively.
