Priss S Asagiri
Priss lost her parents in the Second Kanto Quake when she was 12. Her childhood
was spent in an orphanage where she then ran away from at 17. She then
joined a motorcycle gang and became a small time singer. While dodging
fate on her motorcycle and singing onstage at local clubs, like Hot Legs,
she knew she needed more. Priss then fell in love with the leader of her gang,
but it would not last. He learned secrets that he should not have and was
murdered. Due to the involvement of an "organization", the ADPolice said
that his death was and accident, which is why she hates the police. She
left on her bike, with weapon at hand, to take revenge out on his killers.
Before she could reach them, a Mercedes Benz ran her down on the road.
Priss tried to attack the woman, but she was too hurt and the woman was
able to defend herself. Then, to Priss's surprise, offered her something
much more. She trusted Sylia and is now a member of the Knight Sabers.
Her regular job is a lead singer for the rock band, Priss and the Replicants.
She calls and old trailer as her home, and is trying to brush off Leon's
advances.
Priss is a
rebel and a thrill seeker, but her self destructive nature is countered
by a strong will. She moves between being causal and hostile, and she generally
does not let people to get close to her. Most people that do, end up dead.
Some of her interesting traits are a big appetite, disdain for housework,
and OBSESSION with motorcycles. She goes through a least two bikes a year
since she drives like a maniac. Priss is skilled in hand-to-hand combat,
has incredible endurance and heals pretty fast (I swear she has a healing
factor). Since she grew up on the streets, she fights dirty but gains a
lot of information in the less reputable parts of town. Nene's term of
endearment for Priss is Apewoman.
Sylia Stingray
Sylia was raised in the lap of luxury, as she is the daughter
of the creator of Boomer technology. In 2022, he was assassinated by Genom,
specifically Brian J. Mason, so Sylia was left alone to raise her younger
brother Mackie. However, Dr. Stingray left her a huge fortune, and all
his research data was downloaded directly into her brain using a technique
from his Boomer research. Sylia now had the means to fight her father's
killers. Meanwhile, having stole Dr. Stingray's technology, Genom corrupted
his work. Sylia then vowed to stop Genom's abuse of her father's life's
work, and set to work designing compact and powerful battle armor. She
perfected her Hardsuit technology in 2030 and set out to recruit women
for her vigilante group. By 2031, the Knight Sabers were a reality.
Sylia is elegant and enigmatic. She keeps many secrets, and maintains a cool, controlled (Perhaps distant) front. She is driven to defeat Genom's evils, and has sacrificed her personal life for this cause. She has also adopted the Knight Sabers as her surrogate family, and seems determined to elevate them all beyond the limitations which brought them to her to begin with. Her financial empire and network of contacts is extensive; she owns several real estate properties, has access to military and corporate secrets, and has an ever growing array of intelligence and counter-intelligence resources. In combat, Sylia is calculating, efficient fighter.
Linna Yamazaki
The Second Kanto Quake caused a great deal of chaos, including
damaging several Boomers to the point of sending them into rampages. The
then new ADPolice were unable to control the situation, and many citizens
died because of the ADP's inefficiency. Linna's parents died during those
roits. However, her natural optimism kept the orphaned 15 year old from
becoming bitter like Priss. Instead, Linna overcame her grief and pursued
her dream of becoming a dancer. Soon, an audition for a musical provided
her with a chance to make her break. Her dreams were shattered when the
judges were dissatisfied with her performance. It was at this low point
that Linna met a mysterious woman who, unlike the judges, was very impressed
with her abilities. Now Linna's excellent reflexes and strong will help
support the Knight Sabers.
Linna is practical
to the point of seeming superficial. As an underachiever, she is fickle
and highly materialistic. However, she is honest, polite, fun loving, and
sympathetic to people in trouble. She is the most "normal" member of the
Knight Sabers, concerned with everyday things, like money and men, rather
then being obsessed with vengeance or cuteness. Since she teaches aerobic
classes every day, Linna is in excellent shape. Linna's fighting style
is flamboyant, energetic and up close and personal. This makes her the
perfect choice as the Knight Sabers melee combat and maneuverability expert.
Nene Romanova
Unlike most of the Knight Sabers, Nene isn't an orphan.
Raised by well off but overly strict parents and nosy parents, the mischievous
girl quickly became fed up and ran away from home. Always too smart for
her own good, Nene breezed through the classes at her all girl school despite
the fact that she often cut them. Her boredom and innate knack for computers
("little miss cyberpunk" as Priss likes to call her) led her to all sorts
of high tech mischief, including computer hacking, wire tapping, and other
such electronic espionage. Meanwhile, Sylia had posted a highly complex,
encrypted "help wanted ad" program across the Net, knowing that no true
hacker could resist such a challenge. Nene easily deciphered the ad's code
and discovered an invitation to join the Knight Sabers. She decided to
take the offer and became the final element of Sylia's team: communications
and electronic defense expert.
Nene is open,
brave (well she tries), intelligent, and resourceful, but is also often
silly, innocent and naive--How could we not mention exceptionally cute!
Deep down, she desperately wants to be accepted as an equal by others,
particularly her fellow Sabers. Her job as an ADPolice Operator makes her
the main "detective" for the group. Nene is not much of a fighter (which
is putting it mildly). She is the slowest, weakest, least graceful, and
least violent of the Knight Sabers. Linna and Priss make up for her two-fold
and it does get on their nerves that Nene can be a nuisance in battle.
If she must go to battle, her favorite tactic is being sneaky. Why should
you fight hand-to-hand combat when you can scramble their neural net? Besides,
fighting is SO not cute.
Mackie Stingray
Sylia's younger brother could almost be considered a normal
teenager, except that he is a brilliant mechanic. He doesn't attend any
kind of school, and he's an assistant to the Knight Sabers. Mackie is a
lucky to be able to fiddle with all sorts of machines and mecha. And for
a kind with a ton of hormones, he loves hanging around all the beautiful
women. While Mackie is heir to half of the Stingray fortune, Sylia controls
it all until her brother turns 21. In the meantime he lives with Sylia
in her penthouse apartment at Lady's 633 and works in her lingerie shop,
the Silky Doll (great place for a teenager to work eh?). Mackie is now
beginning to come into his own. He's not a full fledged Knight Saber, but
he has become a valuable assistant. Not only is he a mechanic (under the
tutelage of Dr. Raven), he drives the Knight Sabers support vehicles (like
the Silky Doll wagon, heavy trailer, or Skycarrier), and even has access
to a powered suit in case he has to enter the fray. His youthful enthusiasm
and raw talent have proven immensely valuable to the team.
Mackie is
not consumed by the same drive to combat Genom that his sister is. He does
want to avenge his father's death and keep Genom from misusing Boomer technology,
but he is not obsessed like Sylia. This can be explained due to he is younger,
less experienced, and having led an easier, more sheltered life due to
her protectiveness.
