Spyke (Cyberpunk Character)

Spyke is a mercenary soldier of the future who makes her living being hired out by various armies, gangs, and private clients to 'quell disputes'. She has been given cybernetic implants to make her stronger, faster, and highten her senses. Obvious cybernetics include part of her left arm, jacks in her head and wrists, and 'wolvers' (blades similar to Wolverine's that recess in her forearm and pop out of his/her wrist) on the remaining right hand. Spyke has a fondness for wearing pseudo-military urban camo everywhere - even to formal events (which she rarely attends) - and body armor if possible. Favorite weapons are assault rifles, followed by martial arts. Spyke does have a katana which she will use for ceremonial dueling purposes (one-on-one fights, challenges).

Naturally, the implants and the violence of her occupation have not increased Spyke's cheerful, jovial nature. She is not much of a people person and will keep to herself. When Spyke tells jokes, they are usually absurd knock-knock jokes that no one understands and really aren't funnny. Spyke is addicted to a few combat drugs - an occupational hazard. She also has a bit of an obsession with medieval Japan, particuarly samurai and ronin. It is a topic Spyke will actually go to the library to study. Spyke would like to think of herself as one of those warriors, and she has tried to adopt a system of honor. Spyke will not kill unarmed opponents and often engages targets in 'duels', pitting their abilities against her own in a fair fight. But bottom line, Spyke is a mercenary and she has drug habits to feed, and that takes money.

Spyke is 24 years old, fairly muscular and of average beauty and height. She mostly wears her hair short, though a few pieces have been left long and are braided with a couple of 'good luck charms' attached - a bullet that almost killed Spyke, and a cross. Occasionally Spyke will dye the braids obnoxious colors. Spyke has been shot several times, and she has a few scars. She has a line of kanji scipt tattoed down her right arm.
