Motivation
Though at first glance she is sometimes thought of as a 'villain' due to her place of residence, Rika is quite neutral. She has been known to take the fight to criminal organisations such as the family, freakshow or the council. Mostly though, she's a coward and prefers to hide than fight.
Personality
Rika at first seems to be quite an outgoing character, but her insecurities are usually evident after her first outburst or attempt at a joke. Deep down she is quite the quiet character, insecure in herself or her own abilities, hiding behind a facade or mindless talk or obvious commentary. She tends to be quite sneaky or secretive by nature, other rat-like qualities sometimes becoming visible under observation.
History
Rika was born as she is to a couple in Paragon city. Her parents, like her, were lesser known mutants. Her Father was a scientist and her mother a school teacher. At that time, anti-mutant protests and abuse were commonplace. For fear of her safety her parents kept her home most of the time and home-schooled her. Due to this, her childhood was quite lonely, her main company was family, books and the TV. At age 17 tragedy struck her when her parents were killed in a fire at home. Longbow were battling thugs in her neighbourhood and their use of flame-throwers in residential areas caused the fire. She was saved by one of the Longbow, who at first nearly shot her at the sight of the strange mutant, but her parents were not so lucky. She was sent to live at her grandparents in the rogue isles.
Powers
- Forcefields: Her primary and most visible mutant power seems to be the manipulation or a hard-light type energy which she manifests into forcefields. She has also been known to utalise this power in a violent repelling thrust or even creative uses such as a floating disc which she can stand upon.
- Teleportation: She seems to be able to teleport long distances. Unless the locale is very familiar she tends not to be comfortable with teleporting unless it is line of sight, but has been known to teleport miles to her home. It seems to have an instinctual safety feature: she is not able to teleport into an object or a space that cannot fit her, if the locale is not safe the teleport goes to the nearest safe spot.
- Hyperinvention: The instinctive understanding or creation of gadgets seems to be coded into her mutant genes. Some of her creations even she does not understand: she simply puts her hands to material with an idea and somehow she is able to create it. This has limitations, but gadgetry literally seems to be in her blood.
- Rodent abilities: Rika is a physical mutant: a Humanoid Rat. She possesses a rodents speed, reflexes, nightvision and an extremely acute sense of smell and hearing.
- Regeneration: This ability is not so pronounced as most mutants who possess it as a major ability, but it seems to keep her much healthier than normal and she heals at an advanced rate. She also seems to be highly resistant to disease, poisons and toxins, and has a greatly increased lifespan.
Gadgets
Battle Mechs: Rika has created a series of Battle Robots which she uses for a variety of tasks. She uses them to make up for her lack of strength and combat powers, perhaps literal survival in the Rogue Isles. Each model is heavily armed and armored. They are equipped with both stun weaponry and laser weaponry. They are programmed to only use the deadly weaponry against non-living targets such as other robots or undead. Against living targets they use the non-lethal stun weaponry.
Medical Device: This device is built into her power bracers and functions with the use of nanobots which are programed to heal the target or even herself.
Iron Seeds: One of her greatest marvels. Each of these tiny 'seeds' is actually one of her Battle mechs, or another device. They function using an unknown application of nanotechnology and some kind of pocket dimension which holds the material for the almost impossibly fast construction of the device or mech. Using these she can literally carry around her own army of mechs, she simply throws the 'seed' to the ground and with either a thought, or a simple press of the correct button on her bracer or control staff, it nearly instantly forms into the pre-coded form.
Power Bracer: These bracer's are worn to more easily control her battlemechs, they also hold a supply of 'Iron Seeds'. Wearing these, Rika is able to control her Battle Mechs with mere thought, otherwise she would be limited to verbal commands.
Control Rod: Rika carries this staff as a weapon, but like her bracers, it also holds her battlemech control technology.
Power Armor VI: This power armor is worn mainly when she is around the isles and using her battlemechs. This is highly protective, but more cumbersome than her combat armor. It carries battlemech control tech in its bracers and is designed to take high impacts without affecting her forcefield projection powers like her mark VII suit.
Power Armor VII: This armor is lighter and designed to compliment her agility, not interfering with her movements at all. It is still very protective in construction and it focuses her forcefields subconsciously into a protective shell around her which is skintight. Alone, it can turn away assault rifle AP fire. However its main design is focusing her forcefields into defence, and those can take demolition level explosions. However since they drain her forcefield energies into personal defence, she is unable to use them while wearing it
Vibro Claws: These weapons are build into her Power Bracers, there are two in each bracerm extending to either side of each wrist. They are composed of a hi-steel and impervium alloy which she calls Vibrisum which lends the weapons 95% of the toughness of impervium while also lending them the flexibility needed to effectively carry a supersonic vibration. Those with super hearing like her can hear a very faint audible hum when they are activated.
Grappler: This device is also built into her power bracers, in the centre slot. It fires a grapple device which locks on to a specific point guided by her will and anchors there in space with an anti gravity well. This enables her to 'swing' as a form of travel. The weight limit on the device is about 800lb's. ((This is an RPed form of superjump hero-side))
Trivia
Though she likes cheese, her favorite food is yogurt.
She acts goody and silly in general, but this mostly hides her inner nature. She ca be qute serious whe the situation calls for it, but she prefers acting silly in order to lighten the mood.
