The Bad Times
Once upon a time, in land of martial dictatorship... there grew a little girl among the poor people of Sharkhead Isle. Her name has been lost since then, but for these intents and purposes... we will call her by the name the freakshow dubbed her- "0n 73h M4rk5". In English, pronounced Onteh Marks. As the story goes... the girl was concieved some ten years ago when a very beautiful and quite peculiar Destined One fell in love with a humble dockworker. They met and joined together that very same night to make the child who would become Onteh.
As things happen in this land of martial dictatorship, however, happy lives are rarely meant to be. Days after their consumation, the humble dockworker was found dead in the heart of the Freakshow's makeshift town....
Enraged, saddened, and unaware that she was with child... the very beautiful and quite peculiar Destined One swept through the place like a tornado. No shack, no scrap, no man remained when she had finished. On the levelled ruins, her grief overcame her... and she collapsed in tears. They say she never stopped crying. Day in... day out. She even wept in her sleep.
She came to be known as "Willow Weeping", a woman posessed with a rage and ruthlessness as ever-present as the bitter tears that filled her eyes. The Freakshow especially saw no mercy. Even in her third trimester of pregnancy, she continued to sweep and sweep through their shacks as they built them. Places they inhabited- office buildings, warehouses... she would raze to the ground. The Freaks were becoming scarce. More importantly, they were becoming terribly frightened of Willow's scorn.
It was one of their meat doctors who proposed the final solution...
Egres the Butcher
Handel Egres... a... genius, some would say... Although, the fine line between insanity and genius was less blurred in his case than it was erased, redrawn, scribbled out, spat on, and erased again. He was a musician as well as a sculpter... cybernetics and flesh were the mediums he chose most often... Screams of agony were his music. All were masterpieces of efficiency and torment. The task of dealing with Willow Weeping lay in his hands and so... on a dark night, with the sea winds howling off the coast of Sharkhead Isle... Egres stole into the hidden base where she slept. Using cloaking technology, he remained undetected as he drugged her and took her away....
She was blindfolded when she awoke. Agonizing pain in her abdomen... Her tears were soaking through the cloth over her eyes and soaked sobs broke through between screams as the pain grew worse. She could feel blood flowing, a cool breeze, and... the screaming of a child?
A month too early... the little girl had been forcibly c-sectioned from her mother. A new rage built within Willow... quickly stifled by an injection into her neck.
...and the world melted into daggers and burning....
Drugs and Cybernetics
Nobody knows what happened to Willow Weeping, but it can be assumed that she either died when Egres was finally finished with her... or she was assimilated into the Freakshow with drugs and forced cybernetics. Her daughter, on the other hand, was raised as the neice of Egres the Butcher... raised from birth as a test dummy for his new drugs and cybernetic experiments.
To test a super-soldier serum... she was trained as young as three years old to hold and fire a rifle. As an addition to this experiment, Egres amputated her left arm and fitted it with a cybernetic that housed (at that time) a very small, but powerful gun itself. As she grew, he continued to replace the arm and gun. She was going to be his little soldier... a child with an innocent face, perfect aim, and no concept of morality. ...and perfectly malliable. As a result of the drugs and attempts to repress the horrific memories as they came to her, her mind only worked at a partial capacity of a normal child's mind. Once she hit five years old... she stayed there, in her mind.
At eight, she lost her right eye due to an unforseen ricochet from a target. It was replaced with a heightened cybernetic eye with various optical augmentations. Zoom, nightvision, thermal vision.... She never missed another shot.
By the time she was nine and a half, her knees had been replaced with cybernetics... as had her heart and lungs. This gave her distance, speed, and the ability to remain underwater for untold amounts of time. His little soldier was becoming everything he'd dreamed of...
...until she wandered away one frosty January morning, her addled mind erasing any memory of where she had been or how to get back there.
The GOOD Times!
Sharkhead is a big place. Not as big as some... but certainly big for a nine year old girl. For the next two months, she meandered from place to place, munching on stolen food. And she was quite the little food theif, when she could find it. Many a Scrapyarder and Dockworker's lunch went missing during this time.
However, this was a very limited sort of eating schedule as it only provided one meal or so a day five days out of the week. She became thin and malnourished from the lack of food.
Oddly enough, it was also around this time that Onteh decided she would be a ninja. Nobody is quite sure how or why this thought got in her head. However, it seemed to work. People just... seemed to for the most part accept that this scrawny nine white girl was indeed a ninja.
Run Riot and Veridian Vision
The little ninja got on a truck one day... and found herself in the outer dimensional night club, Pocket D. She felt right at home there, as if there were some magic to the place that welcomed her in, made her feel at home. She took to testing her super l33t ninja pickpocketing skills on the patrons. And one patron in particular...
Run Riot, known to Onteh then as the "Staticy Black Man" was her third pick pocketing victim ever. And the only time she was actually caught. After retrieving his wallet, he sat down with her at the red bar in Pocket D and struck up a conversation. Who was she? Was she hungry? Well, the first question aside, she was indeed quite hungry. And demanding chili cheese fries. ...lots...and lots of chili cheese fries. She finally went back to the unanswered question of who she was.
..and with a grand bow... she declared herself...
"Belinda von Saurkraut O'Goldstein McCrabcake".
And so she was. Riot chuckled at the young "scion of the Saurkraut family" and invited her to stay in his organization's base. The other members of Inevitable Evolution, including Riot's wife Veridian Vision* took to her with quick fondness and amusement.
Veridian Vision took little Bel on as her student of sorts. Belinda was determined to be a ninja... VV planned to teach her how to do it properly. The relationship grew and soon VV asked Bel if she'd like to be adopted. The answer was a quick grin and an "OKAY MOMMY!"
And so Belinda von Saurkraut O'Goldstein McCrabcake became Belinda von Saurkraut O'Goldstein McCrabcake Cross, as Riot and VV's last name was Cross.

Thoughts, Opinions, and Rumors about Belinda...
((Edit this space with opinions your character has on the little mind-addled spaz...))
Mortal Man -Medical Notes on Onteh Marks: Young Belinda's cybernetics seem to be fine, causing neither injury nor great discomfort, though I will make sure to request some of Ghost Hound's files. Brain scans have revealed a series of abnormal structures and contusions. Some of these seem to be a source of her difficulties in forming memories or advancing her maturity level. Some of these structures seem to be attachment points for various cybernetic devices, some of which are no longer used. However, there is one structure that concerns me more than the rest.
It looks very similar to a structure found in Lucky Bunny's mind. Lucky Bunny was one of my teammates from my own world who had an ability to manipulate probability. Several tests have shown that Onteh's luck in matters has been almost as astounding as her cybernetic abilities. Strange costumes, rare animals, and other things she seems to 'want' end up in her lap by series of seemingly unrelated events. Its worrisome as the combination of the damage to her brain and her ability to literally warp reality are intrinsically linked- we could find ourselves living in the world of a five year old mind if we're not careful.
Ink Dyne: So fuckin' annoyin'! All she ev'r duz iz both'r me! Snide li'l insultin' brat...An' nobody cares wh't she doez c'z she jus' look'z cute. -mutter- But she IZ my sist'r, I guess... -sigh-
Kheldragon: ...She's such a sweet little girl...If a bit loud...But there's something very sad about her...It's not that she's gloomy, no, not at all. She's a ray of sunshine, but I just can't ignore...Nine years old, my god. Why is she...?
"Belinda once completely altered her appearance completely to look like me… Why anyone would want to do such a thing is beyond me. It was a kind gesture. The young girl is very sweet, but I just can’t seem to keep up with her at all." –Rezz
Unleashed Force: Lil Miss Awesome! I love this kid! Her innocence always finds a way to brighten my day. I consider her family. That being said, as a certain someone in her past found out...any one who causes her harm..will be dealt with.
Run Riot: My youngest Daughter, my other Girl. Despite being much more friendly then my Eldest Ink (Who I love with all of my heart despite her attitude, I blame being a teenager) My wizard child is equally a source of consternation for me. Bringing home all manner of strange beasts, shooting people she shouldn't, and running around without a care. I love Bel and I would die for her, but I worry for her all the same. Still, I've seen her as an Adult and it's nice to know I raised her right. Bel brings me joy even on the darkest day... I just wish.. her mother could of seen her become a Mother, Like I have.
Veridian Vision: I'm proud to be her mother, and she continues to surprise me (though in less devious ways than her older sister) every time I see her. I know that she and her sister will one day easily pass me by in both ability and experience, and it makes me glad to know that she is growing up to be someone I am proud to boast about. I can honestly say I look forward to seeing how she grows and develops to her surroundings, and to those around her. The only thing I'm not looking forward to? If she ever has any Parent-teacher conferences. Oh lord, those are going to be a nightmare...
