Brief Physical Description: Though Laney is small in size, she shows great attitude in her looks. With both sides on her head shaved, showing off wiring-like tattoos, not to mention a small motor implanted on the left of her head and her Mohawk styled hair. She has many piercings including a septum piercing, four surface piercings (two between either collar bone and shoulder), her ear lobes, and an orbital plug in her left ear. She also has multiple tattoos including blue tiger stripes going down the back of her neck to her shoulder blades, wire and circuit board inspired tattoos on either side of her head and her back, gear tattoos on her shoulders and close to the back of her head, and six blue dot tattoos lining wear her eyebrows would be.
Physical Enhancements: Laney has many physical enhancements, the most noticeable being the motor-like object that sticks out and over most of the left side of her skull. This was implanted at a young age and removed several times for needed upgrades and testing of internal and far more advanced solutions for her inner brain problems, but she found this one more effective and easier to operate. The motor keeps the left side of her brain in tip-top shape while also making it easier for her to concentrate.
Another noticeable enhancement would be her blue-tinted plastic jaw that not only covers her jaw blue over her check bones, under her chin, and below her lower lip. She received her first jaw-piece as a teenager due to a biking accident that resulted in her needing facial jaw reconstruction. She later received the exterior jaw as extra support and as a way to try to ease the pain that she had, which worked.
As she got older, Laney's eye site grew thinner. She had had eye problems as a child, needing to wear thick eye glasses as her family hadn't the money for any fix. Getting a good job that paid well, Laney saved the money to get her eyes enhanced. Over the years, she's gotten multiple enhancements to see further away, see in the dark, see in ultra violet, and use a microscopic vision that allows her to see things up close and personal.
Mental State
General State Of Mind: Laney's general state of mind is that of a person that lacks feelings. She does have feeling, but due to the motor powering the left side of her brain, her emotions are easily subsided. She wont talk unless spoken to; or if she sees a fault in someones calculations. She has a hard time understanding feelings, making her honest and blunt. And she has a general distrust of others, being rather to keep her past in the past.
Likes:The color blue; Technology; Robotics; Mathematics; Problem solving
Dislikes: Complex emotions; Complex situations including people and their emotions; Dogs; Being obnoxious; Authority
Fears: She'll one day lose all her humanity; One day she'll be her, the next, gone
Dreams: To make a companion robot for those with allergies; To have enough money to invest in something and retire
Personality: As said before, Laney is a bit...emotionally detached. It's not that she doesn't have emotions, it's there, she just doesn't act on emotions. One could compare her to Spock, but, though she loves it so, her life isn't focused around science and fact. She just wants to survive another day. Though, the lack of emotions is most probably caused by the motor enhancement powering the left side of her brain and keeping it running, adding a boost to concentration, and stunting her emotions slightly. Adding to this, she's a bit blunt and doesn't really understand the concept of jokes.
History
Laney was the only born of her mother and father. They weren't the richest, but they weren't the poorest. It could be reasonably inferred that they were apart of the lower-average income of people. Being the only child, her parents risked everything for her. As a young child, she had a stroke, or "brain attack", that damaged the left side her of brain greatly. With the new technology out at the time, they used a small motor-like instrument to "power up" the left side. It worked, and she functioned as a normal child after that.
As she grew older and technology advanced, the motor was removed and replaced several times, at one time in her teen years even taking the form of a small computer implanted into the back of her head under the skin. It was in this time that she shaved both sides of her head and got the tattoos to cover the scars. Later, as she began getting irritated by the pinch in the back of her head, she got a new replacement motor implanted in the left side of her head. She was then in a motorcycle accident with a male friend and shattered her jaw. She received facial jaw reconstruction. Around the same time, her eyes were enhanced to the robotic looking ones they are today, though at the time they just served one purpose: seeing.
Coming up on her twenties, Laney took on her new identity as Laney Knobs and left home, coming to the big city was a bag full of clothes and a hand full of money. She spent most of her time living on the streets, doing odd jobs. Eventually, she got a job at a robotics shop and was allowed to sleep in the apartment behind the shop since she hadn't had a place to stay.
While she was doing a job for an illegal group by making them a scouting-fly-bot, she was contacted by CKSD to join them. At first, Laney denied, not wanting to get into an illegal business, but the offer was too much to just pass up. She accepted and joined the team as the roboticist and technician.
