L O S T
Name: Zarathustra, The Übermensch
Loyalties: Kära Vi'dreya, Archangel Research and Design, Rahvin Industries
Role: Bodyguard and Protector, Pilot, Infiltrator
Development Threads: Kyrosian Ambitions (Her Creation) Forging A Future (Training As A Bladeborn)
Age: 3 Years, Physically 25
Species: Human Replica Droid, Pseudo-Umbaran, Clone
Force-Sensitive: Not Applicable
Appearance: Zarathustra looks exactly like Kära Vi'dreya, missing only the signature scar upon the left cheek. Her eyes are icy blue yet are a little more intense than her organic counterparts. Aside from this there are no differences between the pair, except for the choice in attire: Zarathustra is more often found to be wearing leather armour or Bladeborn Attire depending upon the occasion.
Personality: As a HRD, Zarathustra is relentless, knowing neither fear nor emotion save that which they can fake and mimic. She also lacks any true sense of right or wrong. Just like her organic self, Kära, Zarathustra feels that she must bring Order and Stability to the Galaxy, seeing it as flawed and unruly, meaning that at times she can be a little overzealous where her ideals are concerned. It can also leave her with an aura of superiority, as false as this may be, which does not always bode well with others. This can, however, transfer itself positively to give her a regal feel about her person. She also cannot abide weakness in an individual, expecting them to find ways around their flaws or openly confront them as she herself must do; in truth it is weakness within herself that she truly cannot stand. Substances such as alcohol she abhors, viewing them as an extension of man's weakness, and like Order a lack of weakness is something she strives to create within the Galaxy.
Weapon of Choice: Dionysus, her Lightsaber, Bladeborn Weaponry
Wealth: Not Applicable: receives what she requires through Kära, never in monetary form.
Combat Function: Highly Skilled:
- + Excellent Reflexes: Partly a by-product of her organic self, although augmented by her HRD state, Zarathustra has extremely enhanced reflexes, so much so that she is capable of wielding a lightsaber blade.
- + HRD:
- Incredibly strong. Their capability is usually upwards of double a comparable human. For a very short period they can lift triple the weight. As they also feel no pain they can use their bodies as weapons or to smash through barriers.
Extremely resilient. An HRD can take several blaster bolts to the head or chest before the unit fails. Their armour and metal body gives them the equivalent of class 5-6 armour over their whole body. Limbs can be severed and severe damage done, but it will press on regardless.
Skilled Infiltrators. HRDs are designed to look, act and seem human. They can blend into social situations, using their abilities to get close to their targets. - - HRD:
- Machine Vulnerabilities. As machines HRDs suffer especially from ion and electrical attacks. A blast of Sith Lightning or an ion grenade can severely damage vital systems even if the unit is not destroyed.
Not invincible. HRDs are powerful, but in the high tech modern galaxy they are not invulnerable. Blaster bolts to the head or chest can disable them, as can powerful explosives and especially lightsabres. Usually two blaster bolts or a lightsabre blow is needed to penetrate an area of armour.
Detectable. This first wave of HRDs are not infallible. Anyone able to detect their weight will find it off, whilst someone able to do a deep scan will notice oddities. Finally, a Force user could sense that something is off as the machine beneath is not truly living.
Other Notes: Named after her organic's older sister, Zarathustra is the clone of Kära Vi'dreya, she holds all of her organic self's memories and theoretically her history too. However Zarathustra has a story of her own to tell, also, or at least she will. Cloned around the time that Thyrian Ashborn was, Zarathustra was kept in a state of constant stasis for many months after the finalization of her cloned-form. When the time was deemed right, and Kära felt an agreeable business relationship forming with Archangel Research and Design, the cloned version of herself was sent to be 'Upgraded'.
The result was a HRD that resembled Kära completely. The only difference was that she seemed her organic self's antithesis. While Kära lacked in her physical capabilities, Zarathustra was able to shine - her ability with a blade, especially with a form that required strength, far surpassed Kära's. Yet she did not house the affinity or even connection to the Force that was her organic self's trademark.
Kära gave her HRD self the guise of owning Rahvin Industries, ensuring that she kept whole power through a puppet-like farce. Her organic self called all the shots, and Zarathustra was merely the public figure. Aside from this, and her place within the Age of Steel plans, Zarathustra's place was at her organics side, acting as a bodyguard alongside Ashborn and Skydd.
