Within the guise of Kianna, she appears a largely unremarkable women with an equally unremarkable history. Her past involvement in anti-aschen movements, and her affiliation with the Terran Militia leaves Kianna's recent rise to power within the Aschen empire a mystery.
Notable notes:
- Though Terran born, The Black Hand has gone to great lengths to shed this aspect of her identity. Diligent study leaves her knowledge of Aschen culture and even languages broadening with each passing day.
- The Black Hand currently serves in the Terran Militia within the guise of Kianna, but none save for Mollem McGreggor know of her dual identity as The Black Hand.
- The Black Hand is a dabbler in the arcane, and can utilize some minor magical capabilities, including minor summons and various cantrips. Her primary magical talent lies in pyromancy which she can utilize at much more formidable levels. The Black Hand has no innate magic of her own, and is incapable of using magic without her pendant in her possession.
- The Black Hand has a sharp mind and is well versed in the practice of warding her thoughts from mental intrusions through carefully maintained self-control and mental conditioning.
- The Black Hand is an accomplished liar, capable of doing so fluidly and with little effort. For The Black Hand, lies come as naturally as truth, and often times more readily.
Equipment:
- Disruptor Pistol - Typically kept concealed within her robes.
- Wrist Bands - These silver wrist bands provide an unobtrusive means of storing and summoning her weapons, typically a pair of steel blades with runic enchantments down their length to reinforce them against both physical and magical damage.
- Pendant - This magically durable pendant adorns The Black Hand's throat and grants her immunity to fire and heat while acting as a focus and conduit for fire based abilities. The Black Hand has no innate magic, and it is only through the magic of the pendant that she herself can tap into the realm of magic.
- T-65 Augmented Combat Skin - The Black Hand is typically never found without this formidable piece of equipment, made all the formidable by several modifications and upgrades in addition to all of the standard specs. The modifications are as follows.
▪ Rather than Trin-Duranthium Composite, the hard plates are composed of Duranthium and Kanvium, the Mesh is a Zero-G Spun Trinnium-Duramite
Nanomesh, which is much lighter, more flexible, and more resilient.
▪ The suit sports a wrist mounted Hardlight shield generator, which emits a hard light shield.
▪ The suit has a Disruptor RCW Point mounted under the left palm that can fire rapid-disruptor shots.
▪ The suit has been outfitted with a time dilation device that allows its wearer to increase their speed relative to that of an enemy. Matching or
even exceeding their speed.
▪ The suit has an improved Shield generator, capable of taking a great deal more abuse than older models. The shield generator will also recharge
much faster, permitting the shields to recharge should the wearer take cover.
▪ The suit is markedly stronger than older models, leaving its wearer capable of flipping cars as if they were toys.
▪ The Suit has a built in Mako reactor that draws Mana energy directly from the planet, allowing a wearer to channel magical energies without a
direct drain on the body.
