Ellis is a young, white haired woman with a pale complexion. She tends to keep her hair down though she does dress neatly despite not using the clothes issued to them, given the nature of their job.
She has a wide array of clothing articles in hand should she need to infiltrate a place. Her most commonly used attire is a white, sleeveless vest, red skirt and boots which allows her enough space to conceal tools and equipment. She sports a black, streamlined piloting suit topped with a gray vest with black accents and a black helmet. On the ground, she has a tendency to not wear her helmet when piloting.
Ellis has a quiet and serious demeanor stemming from a sheltered, militaristic childhood in the Western Sector; the outer rim for Transcendents. Despite the distance, her mental link with the main headquarters remains strong; resulting in a very obedient soldier that completely follows all the protocols.
She does possess enough intelligence and will to formulate her own tactics on the battlefield but otherwise, she is completely reliant on her orders. She is noted to have a rather narrow vision of things, tending to focus more on the immediate task at hand rather than a long-term vision. Although not very often, people have mentioned that she tends to lose her temper from time to time, particularly when their initial strategy doesn't go as planned.
As Transcendents generally do not feel any emotional impulses, she doesn't feel too conscious about herself, even when blended in with human society where she stands out a bit because of her appearance though not enough for humans to notice she's a Transcendent.
Machine Spec and Detail || The AXS 04 – Victoria is a high-performance, experimental prototype fielded by the Transcendent forces. Created as a direct competition to the NXZ – 174 Eisenritter that came out earlier, the Victoria boasts significantly improved performance over earlier, mass-produced models. As its cost of production is quite high, only a handful of these units are currently active, with the rest still subject to further research.
Its reaction speed is over two times higher than that of a regular mass-produced model. Sensitive reactors and mechanisms allows for quicker movement, as well as speed and agility. Aside from its regular sensors, additional enhanced detection systems are mounted on the shoulders, increasing both machine and pilot's aptitude for visual recognition. It also houses an integrated shielding system that protects the unit from electronic jamming capabilities.
As a prototype test-bed for future mass-production, the Victoria is equipped with an array of experimental equipment. For ground combat, the Victoria is capable of deploying wheels in order to improve its speed while maintaining good stability. For air and space combat, the Victoria can be equipped with a flight unit with additional thrusters and an independent battery pack.
The main drawback of the unit is its relatively weak weapons with the exception of its swords. Also, its armor, while still rather tough, pales in comparison to most other models. It is for this reason that the Victoria is reserved for specialized operations rather than standard-issue, front-line machines.
Weapons:
Thermal Vibration Swords x2 – A prototype melee weapon, this weapon works by using both heat and vibrating properties in order to pierce through enemy armor. It can be used in either sword or lance configurations depending on the situation.
Electric Strike Needle x2 – Stored on the elbows, the Needle delivers an electric shock at point blank range as soon as the weapon makes contact. While the shock isn't usually strong enough to completely destroy newer generation machines, the electricity is strong enough to kill the pilot inside.
Rocket Anchors x2 – Stored on the hips, the rocket anchors can either be used as weapons or as grappling hooks to aid in scaling high places in the event the flight system is unavailable.
Assault Rifle x1 – Standard, magazine-fed gun issued for most infantry forces, it is added to the Victoria's arsenal in order for it to have a weapon that doesn't draw too much energy from the unit's main reactor.
Abilities outside of the Machine:
Ellis was specially trained in a wide array of disciplines given the nature of the job assigned to her. She has decent marksmanship and hand-to-hand combat ability. Her infiltration abilities are regarded highly as well, having completed several assassination jobs with decent marks.
She tends to have an affinity for using explosives, and does have the knowledge on creating homemade bombs on her own. While proficient in hand-to-hand, she usually wields a knife to increase her efficiency. She also displays knowledge regarding data manipulation and possesses a good memory that helps her when infiltrating bases.
Ellis was a Transcendent raised on the rougher sides of the Western Sector. Ever since she was young, she was already enrolled to train in a specialized environment in order to make them more adept at the job they are about to engage in. Being based on the outer rim, it was the perfect place to train her without being picked up by any human force.
Towards the end of the war, the Transcendent, which was on the losing side, needed another method to defeat the World Beneath. As the head-on attacks were proving to be inefficient in the face of the newly structured Earth fleet, the Transcendent opted for a more, low-profile approach by infiltrating human society and taking out their command from within. To that end, they decided to start on the Infiltrator program that trains assassins starting at a very young age. This was the program Ellis was raised in. Unfortunately, the program was shut down as the war ended even before the program could be fully implemented.
With nothing else to do, most of the children were sent back to the main homeland but a handful were kept by the authorities to use as scouts for competing with human colonizers. They are to infiltrate and possibly stay within a human outpost in order to collect data which they can use against their enemies. However, due to the elapsed time the missions took, the Infiltrators started developing their own free will, weakening the mental link to the home world with the exception of Ellis who managed to retain a strong link due to being sent on missions that involve destroying bases, thereby eliminating any other link or attachment she may have with the humans.
As these developments were disastrous for Transcendent society, Ellis was used to eliminate these rogues, even her fellow Infiltrators until she was the only one that remained. Her missions were originally restricted to the Northern sector only but, upon recognizing her efficiency, the top brass relocated her to the outer rim as well, eliminating any rogues that are reported to her.
When news got out that a rogue Transcendent managed to slip by and hide within a unit, the main headquarters began sending inspectors to every fleet in order to keep a close eye on any disastrous action. However, since it originated from the Western Sector, getting a hold or even monitoring the progress of the Inspection unit would prove to be difficult so it was decided that rather than a normal inspector, an Infiltrator would be more effective in the task as they are capable of deceiving Transcendents as well. And now, only one remains…
