[Background]
In a world where major power blocks are competing for political and economical dominance, programs to manipulate and engineer the human body to perfection are still kept confidential. One of such programs, The Human Enhancement Facility, operates as to produce super soldiers through the enhancement of brain waves and functions, and physical modification. Marie Perfacy is the Facility’s first and last perfect super soldier. Unlike the orphans collected to be experimented on, Marie was genetically engineered to be fit for the harsher conditions of combat. Years of intense experimentation had caused a severe case of paralysis, along with the loss of her five senses at an early age. She’d been kept under observation, with electronic feed and her enhanced brainwaves as her only link to the outside world. Allelujah, a young boy and a fellow super soldier experiment whose quantum brainwaves matched hers, was the only person capable of communicating with Marie.
An effective treatment was found six years later, but it came at a great cost. In order to mold the precocious Marie into the model of a perfect soldier, it was necessary to alter her brain and memories as to make her start with a clean slate. Instead of a complete erasure of her previous personality, Marie’s consciousness became dormant to a dominant personality. Soma Peries emerged to the world and was indoctrinated to be obedient to a fault, loyal to the system, and with little personal purpose in life aside from living up to her reason for existence. Ideally, she was the perfect soldier, until she was brought out of her sheltered lab environment into the world. After “Operation Fallen Angels” came to an end, the young soldier realized there was more to life than her military duty, easing into the warmth of the family life she never had. This blissful peace came to an end four years later, as she was ordered to enlist into the elite military force, A-LAWS, organized to protect the newly unified world at any costly price.
Having had a taste of happiness, Soma found it increasingly difficult to adapt to a stricter military life once more, and one that came with indiscriminate murder. Her resolve wavered for the first time, pushing her toward self-denial and rejection at any chance of happiness. With that mind-set, Soma met her long time super soldier rival, and the childhood friend she couldn’t remember in battle. The charged confrontation and reunion made something in Soma resurface: Marie who had been growing along with Soma, and longing for the only fond memory she had from her childhood. Having regained the memories lost before her soldier life, Soma, now Marie, made the choice to leave her former life behind her and follow Allelujah. The decision came with heartache and new dilemmas, mainly Marie’s resolution to fight once should there be a need for it, and despite her convictions. However, Marie’s choice to engage in battle once more brought her her most painful experience yet, the death of her father figure. Her inability to come to terms with his death, and the realization that she had been utterly helpless to stop it hardens Marie enough for the battle-weary side of her to take control, and Soma decides to take matters into her own hands.
[Personality]
Marie is in the unique position of having lived two lives at once. As a child living in the Human Enhancement Facility, she had been considerably precocious, despite her sheltered and closed environment. Having to relive her life with an overwritten memory, she grows up with a lack of normal, everyday life necessary to develop adequate social skills and understanding. This creates an awkwardness she carries along well into her later teens when she has to tackle the outside world head on. Despite that, she somewhat develops into a reasonable, purpose driven individual who can keep a cool head under pressure, with an ability to command others effectively when needed. When Marie eventually re-emerges, she takes on Soma’s steadier qualities with her own maturity. Marie possesses a sensitivity to those around her that’s exhibited in a quiet sort of understanding. She’s able to read people well enough
[Specialties/Abilities]
Soma is a "designer baby", her body enhanced using nanomachine technology to increase her endurance and stamina as to make her compatible with a space battle environment. Up to date, she is the most perfected super solider engineered by the Human Reform League, or the final product, so to speak. Her physical abilities surpass the norm within human capabilities. She is able to handle high levels of stress, and withstand the effects long hours in zero-gravity may have on her. Her most significant attribute, however, are her enhanced quantum brainwaves, a branch of neuro-medical technology in which brainwaves are used for telepathic communication. This gives her a form of pre-cognition, and allows her to mind-touch people depending on how receptive they are. She's also able to pick up stray thoughts or very strong emotions from those around her.
[Affection] What type of affections are allow/disallowed and would your character do this to others?
Hug, drape, or squeeze at your own discretion. Soma is not used to physical displays of affection, and she'll be visibly upset or disquieted. If it's another women, she'll be a little bit more ease with it, but if you're a guy, expect to be shoved off.
[Fighting]
She's competent in physical fights including close-range hand to hand combat, and can handle firearms. Her agility gives her rapid reflexes and her body is enhanced as to utilize her muscles to their full capabilities, so she's probably stronger than the average person, and can pack a punch in comparison to her size.

I would really like tea right now. Meaning, I'll come back to edit this section later.
