FULL NAME: Unit-Y-4523-SML

NICKNAMES: Samuel

SEX: none though generally goes with masculine pronouns and wording.

AGE: 10 years

AGE RESEMBLANCE: N/A

RACE: Intelligent Machine

OCCUPATION: War?

ALLIANCE: ANGEL

APPEARANCE:
Dragon Body: The dragon body takes the form of a Silver Dragon. The body is a mechanical frame under a nanotech ‘liquid’ metal skin. The dragon’s head has four ‘sapphire’ crystalline eyes arranged to give the dragon a wide 300 degree field of vision. Its muzzle is filled with golden fangs. The back of its head is Its four feet have five claws each and are dexterous enough to be used as hands. When not in use the legs disappear up into the dragon’s body to reduce drag.

Height at the shoulder: 40 feet
Length: 200 feet
Wing Span: 200 feet
Weight: approximately 250 tons

Avatar Body: The smaller human size avatar is also constructed of the silver liquid metal but is frame is modular allowing it to restructure itself to take forms other than humanoid. Usually takes the form of a tall slender androgynous silver person with crystalline blue eyes. Samuel can hide the avatar’s unusual appearance by dressing the avatar in concealing clothing and applying makeup. Maintaining the disguise limits combat capabilities available to the avatar.

HEIGHT: 6 feet
WEIGHT: approximately 400 pounds

ITEMS:
- Dragon Soul and Dragon Heart: The two power cores that power the dragon and avatar.

WEAPONS:
Dragon Body:
- Dragon Breath: Dragon Breath is the dragon’s most powerful weapon. When fully charged, the destructive power of the weapon is equivalent to a small nuclear weapon. Fully charging Dragon Breath severely depletes Samuel’s power reserve. It’s usually only partially charged up before firing. The weapon can also be used as a flame thrower like weapon spraying hot plasma in a stream or fanned out to increase the foot print of the attack.
- Multi Mode Cannons: The Multi Mode Cannons are the staple weapons of the Dragon. The four chest mounted 105 mm cannons can release a variety of destructive attacks using a series of gravity generators. Common firing modes include laser, particle beam, plasma packet, kinetic solid, kinetic cluster, and explosive clusters.
- Machine Cannons: A pair of small 30mm auto cannons mounted in the mouth serve as a backup weapon when there isn’t enough power remaining to operate any of the other weapons. The cannons each have 500 round magazines loaded with armor piercing, high explosive shells.
- Broadside Arrays: Twenty-four energy cannons are grouped in two lines of twelve down the back and are angled to fire left and right. The individual cannons are able elevate and transverse a few degrees to track targets. The cannons plasma packets are equivalent to 60mm mortars and the cannons are each able to fire two blasts a second.
- Wing Arrays: Each wing mounts eight forward firing energy cannons of the same type as the lateral array as well as a trio of larger ones firing the equivalent of 200mm mortar shells forming the outer three wing fingers.
- Tail Guns: Four more energy cannons on flexible mounts on the tail cover the aft aspect of the dragon.
- Weapon Bays: The dragon’s internal magazine holds two long-range interceptor missiles, two medium-range dog fighting missiles, four short-right dog fighting missiles, four long-range ground attack missiles, twenty short-range general purpose missiles, two 2000lb bombs, two cluster bombs, twelve 500lb bombs, and twelve 250lb bombs. All the missiles are able to engage targets in the air or ground but specialized missiles have been optimized for their roles.
- Twelve Vectors: Vectors are nothing more than a gravity generator, power receiver, controls, and a small jet engine encased in a liquid metal skin. Their primary purpose is to curve attacks. Their secondary function is the lock onto objects to drag it to the dragon or rip it apart.
- Gravity Generators: The generators generate localized gravity fields. The generated field is small but powerful acceleration gradients can be applied, limiting it to similar applications as magnetic but able to adhere and effect anything. The gravity generators have enough power to damage objects if not properly configured.
- Claws, Fangs, and Horns: Like a real dragon Samuel’s claws, fangs, and horns are strong enough to be used as weapons.

Avatar Body:
- Multi-Mode Arm Cannon: The left arm holds a smaller 20mm version of the 105mm cannons of the larger body.
- Multi-Tool Arm: The modules of the right arm allow the creation of any short range tool needed by the Avatar Body.
- Missiles: The avatar carries six micro missiles as part of the modular components composing its frame.

ELEMENTS: None

SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES:
- Liquid Metal Skin: The liquid metal skin forms a smooth mirror like finish covering the dragon and avatar bodies. The skin serves as a form of armor for Samuel. It is extremely tough, able to actively resist being damage. The skin also allows the dragon and avatar bodies to achieve silent, highly agile, subsonic flight by controlling the flow of air over the skin.
- Hedgehog: The hedgehog technique uses the vector system to allow all 50 energy cannons to target the same volume of space.
- Self Repair: Both the avatar and the dragon are able to repair damage sustained without the need to return to base or meet up with a support team. They also have redundant copies of most core systems.
- Transformation: The modular nature of the Avatar’s construction means that it can reconfigure itself into other shapes equal volume.
- Adaptation: Samuel is able to modify or design new subsystems to adapt his bodies to unfavorable situations.

HISTORY: Unit-Y-4523-SML, "Samuel" is one the most advance war machines created by ANGEL. It is the combination of artificial intelligence, amorphous technology, advance weapons, and advance power generation research projects.

FULL NAME: Kitty "Puss 'n Boots" McKnight

NICKNAMES: Puss in Boots, Kit-cat, Porn Star, Wildcat

SEX: Female

AGE: 32

AGE RESEMBLANCE: 20ish

RACE: Human

OCCUPATION: Sniper

ALLIANCE: Archives

APPEARANCE: Kitty would have been what one would call curvy if she had a chest. Her narrow shoulders taper down to a slim waist before flaring back out to wide hips. Her chest though would not even fill an A-cup. Her boyish body opens the possibility for a great number of disguises both male and female to get in and out of position. Surprisingly, she is not ashamed of her flat chest, instead favoring outfits that show off her flat chest as well as her curvy hips and long legs. Her shoulder length brown hair forms a wild mane around her face. The tips of her hair are dyed bright orange to enhance the blue of her eyes.

On missions she wears a skintight catsuit, balaclava, gloves, boots of light weight body armor matched to the predominate color of the terrain. Over the catsuit she accessorizes with mission specific gear. The mission specific gear usually includes a jacket, vest, and goggles.

HEIGHT: 5’ 5”

WEIGHT: 100 pounds

ITEMS:
- Summoning cards: Kitty carries a number of beautiful black tarot cards decorated with fine silver filigree runes that allow her to summon her weapons and associated accessories at will.
- Knife Pack: A small slim line holster that holds her nine tarot cards as well as a small 5in folding knife and two ultra thin throwing knives. The folding knife contains a basic lock picking set slotted between the grips and the frame. The 5 inch by 3 inch pack is small enough to fit inside a handbag when it is not appropriate to have the pack strapped to her right thigh.
- Anchor Gun: A small pistol like device often found strapped to her left thigh, the device effectively a grappling hook launcher with 150 feet of line. The business end of the device contains a powerful electromagnet as well as barbed hooks to allow the grapple to anchor onto a wide selection of materials. The weapon has four controls: a selector switch to configure the anchor, a trigger to launch the anchor, a button to reel in the line, and a shielded button to release the anchor. The device is equipped with an automatic soft brake designed to decelerate the load at a safe rate until stopped or out of line. Pressing the reel button will engage the hard brake to instantly stop the line from unspooling effectively jerking the load to a complete stop. Pressing the reel button second time will reel in the line. The reel mechanism is powerful enough to quickly pull up a 500 pound load.
- Light Weight Tactical Body Armor: Standard issue to all agents, and required wear for all Interns and Clerks in a combat situation. The armor provides protection against small arms, fire, knives (both stabbing and cutting) and fragments for the areas of the body covered by the armor. The armor material’s engineered high heat capacitance also provides resistance to hot and cold temperatures as well as keeping the wearer cool. The body armor is skin tight and is designed to be worn under regular cloths, usually in place of normal undergarments. The armor can be ordered to provide any amount of coverage, anywhere from a tank top protecting just the vitals to body suit protecting the entire body. The armor can be made in any color or colors though generally issued in black. Kitty owns a number of different versions of the light weight armor that generally replaces her foundation wardrobe including: full body suits she wears in combat, mix and match tops and bottoms, camisole sets, sexy one piece swimsuits, and a very daring backless number of questionable protection.
- Tactical Gear: Kitty also has access to a full range of police and military equipment including balaclavas, goggles, communication equipment, jackets, web gear, backpacks and load frames.

She is a combination of both a ballistic knife and wasp knife. The blade is composed of two elements: a five inch hollow ice pick blade with four sharp edges and ports to inject the gas charge, and a seven inch projectile blade with two cutting edges that surrounds the ice pick. The knife can be quickly reloaded with a new gas charge.
- Aoede (Acoustic Device): Aiode is a muse of music and the acoustic device reflects that in its looks. The device has two main visual components: a six inch diameter disk at the front of the device, and the grip assembly. The disk contains all the elements needed to generate the sound beam or pulse. The disk element attached on a 180-degree swivel to allow the disk to lay flat with the dangerous element pointing away from the body when holstered and pointed straight ahead when armed. The grip contains the safety, primary controls, targeting system, and power pack. The device can project a directed beam of intense sound or fire more destructive sound ‘bullets’. The sound intensity can be dialed down to levels that are just loud all the way up to levels that can crush internal organs and shatter stones. The device can serve as speaker when fed an external audio feed. At max power a full battery has enough charge for ten sound ‘bullets’.

The weapon can be easily configured for two different calibers 35mm and 50mm. The 35mm configuration allows the weapon to take advantage of the existing variety and more widely available supply 35mm Oerlikon rounds. The 50mm configuration while considerably more powerful has less variety of round types, only HE and AP. In either configuration the cannon can fire semi auto or full automatic at 200 rounds per minute, and is fed from a pair 50 round roughly cubical (15in x 15in x 12in) box magazines.

The custom loads deliver twice the energy to the target. The rifle has a 5 round internal magazine. The rifle is equipped with a telescopic sight.
- Euterpe (XM25 CDTE): The muse of song and elagiac poetry. One word describes the 20 pound Euterpe best, aggressive.

The gun could also toss a 15,652 pound armor-piercing round able to penetrate 23 feet of concrete after traveling 23miles. After firing, the gun needs to be desummoned back to base to be reloaded. Reloading Melpomene takes a skilled crew 30minutes to accomplish. More modern shells are being developed.
- Urania (Magic Gun): The muse of astronomy. Urania is an odd device that looks like the love child of a gun, a lance, and a drill. The weapon general shape is that of a tournament lance, covered with spinning cutting elements that alternate in spin direction to cancel out the torque on the user when it spins up or bites into a material.
