Name: Setsuna Ohara
"Pleased to meet you. So, coffee? Or tea?"
Age: 26
"Yes. It would have been six years since then."
Gender: Female
"You can't tell? Oh, you're so funny."
Personality: "You're rather interesting yourself, dear." Setsuna is a generally nice woman with a sweet and mild temperament, rarely losing her calm in most situations though she isn't really exposed to the outside. She is also a pacifist, preferring to just have their operatives concentrate on the virus' trail than engage in conflict with Stardust.
She harbors some trepidation towards the tensions between them and Stardust, possibly as a result of trauma in her past. Despite her demeanor, she is also the type who can be a bit shifty and is known to hold many secrets that she doesn't tell anyone. She takes pride in her intuition though she can feel a bit insecure in the presence of more capable authorities. She can also get rather anxious of things, finding herself backed into a corner in some situations.
Affiliation: F.A.I.T.H - Strategy and Management (Director)
"Surprised? Unfortunately, you haven't quite reached the top of the caste yet."
Appearance: Setsuna is a lady with long, wavy brown hair and iron gray eyes. Her legs were crippled since birth, leaving her bound to a wheelchair. Aside from her legs, she has a bionic right arm as a result of an accident. Disregarding her handicap, she is 5'3" tall and weighs 47 kg. Her usual attire is a white, corporate uniform with a black ribbon, black pants, flats and white stockings.
On the other hand, her SEED appears as a half-mechanical, pale-skinned girl with magenta eyes and white hair in two, long, even twintails. It is dressed in a futuristic-themed, white outfit which is accented further by mechanical parts littered all throughout the body.
History: Setsuna was the daughter of a rather wealthy and well-known family within the city. Her parents worked directly for the World Sphere's Service providers, tasked with improving the stability of the newly established network. One time, she was left unattended during a senatorial press conference which her parents were invited when Stardust suddenly staged a protest. It was supposed to be a peaceful demonstration but, tensions broke out when a person just collapsed on the ground, forcing the two parties to resort to violence. Her wheelchair was pushed away in the encounter, dragging her out into a highway where a truck brushed against her, crushing her right arm. Up until now, no one managed to ever find out who started the attack and provoked Stardust.
She underwent a painful operation to fix her arm which, fortunately, succeeded though her arm had to be replaced with a mechanical one. The hospital offered to fix her legs but she refused. Eventually, when she reached the right age, she had developed her abilities to the extent that she can now help with the family business though her role deals more with strategy and personnel management. It was during this phase in her life when she almost fell in love with a rather, modest yet respectable man though, he disappeared just two years after their meeting. She never saw him again, nor did she find out what happened to him.
After graduating college at age 22, she transferred from her original business to F.A.I.T.H, where she initially worked in Consumer Relations and worked her way up, earning her the position of Director within three years. She learned about the new threat once she was promoted and was tasked in overseeing the operations of their enforcers as well as receiving updates on any development. Secretly though, she wishes to use their resources to find the man that vanished almost eight years ago...
Equipment/Weapons: Setsuna doesn't carry a lot of items since the nature of her job consists of her staying in and overseeing developments. On her SEED, the bulk of the equipment is, according to her: "--mostly for aesthetic purposes."
OHF-SA-P03 "Shirogane" Parts Set - Setsuna's main equipment. It is an armor parts set that equips her SEED with a leg thruster unit and mechanical wings. The leg thrusters enable her to glide on the ground within the virtual world, eliminating the need to walk or run in order to navigate. The wings are capable of flight though, only for 5 minutes and a maximum height of 70 meters above ground. It has a limited operational time; 30 minutes if just the leg thrusters, 10 minutes if the wings are used as well. To prevent overheating, it has a forced shutdown function and various exhaust points are littered all throughout the frame. Maximum cool down time is 1 hour.
OHF -AR06 "Kurogane" Blade Tonfa - A prototype version of the sword used to develop AR07, it is a pair of 30 inch long and 2.5 inch wide, solid blades that gets thinner as it approaches the tip. It is tougher than it's successor but has weaker, overall sundering power and only one side is actually capable of cutting. In contrast to other blades, these are designed to be wielded like tonfas. They are stored on her wings.
OHF-AR12 "Hagane" SEED Chain - As the name implies, it is a chain that is programmed to operate automatically, and primarily used to tie down captured opponents. Aside from that, it's pretty much a normal chain though, it's tip ends in a hard blade and is around 2 feet long.
Abilities: As one of various Directors within the organization, Setsuna has a certain charisma and intuition when it comes to managing her subordinates. She has some knowledge in strategy along with negotiation and information verification. As for defensive abilities--she has none--except hitting offenders with her (hard and heavy), mechanical arm.
Due to rarely spending time within the virtual network, her synchronization rates are rather low; her SEED plagued with the same problems she has in life. Rather than attempting to learn another discipline, she opted to just concentrate on her task as Director and just compensated for her SEED's shortcomings with equipment. She uses her SEED as a testbed of sorts for F.A.I.T.H's newly developed equipment.
Trivia:
- She wasn't able to have her legs fixed due to a lack of courage and paranoia into overthinking the repercussions that might come with the surgery.
- She has some mild technophobia, preferring to use older and outdated equipment that she is accustomed to.
- Her armor is similar to Gundam Epyon's from Gundam Wing. (Credits to the owners of the borrowed images)
- Her face claim is Fiore Forvedge Yggdmillennia from Fate/Apocrypha. On the other hand, her SEED's face claim is White Rock Shooter from Black Rock Shooter: The Game.
