The character's name is either Alita (manga) or Gally (anime), and she is a full body cyborg, possessing a fearsome 'berserker' body that allows her to preform increadible feats of power. A 'Hunter-Warrior', she is a bounty hunter, living and working in a place known as Scrap Iron City, a disreputable place that looks like what one would get if you crossed 'The Road Warrior' with 'Blade Runner'.
The character design is based upon what is presented in the first two manga collections from Viz (Rusty Angel & Tears of an Angel), as well as the anime. Attempting to reproduce her exact powers rapidly made me realize I was going to be creating an unplayable character, so I downscaled the power level, while trying to keep the same 'feel' for her abilites.
Description:
Battle Angel stands about 5' tall, and weighs about 400 pounds. She usually
dresses in a black, armless, jumpsuit that covers her from neck to knees. Over
this, she wears a standard duster. Black fingerless gloves and tan, knee high
boots complete the outfit.
Powers Notes:
The plasma generator sucks air in through vents in the right shoulder and
projects out of her index and middle fingers at ~15,000 degrees centigrade. In
the manga she uses it to cut through a character's 40mm armored skin with ease.
PanzerKunst (aka Armored Arts) is supposed to be the most powerful of the
fightarts developed for humaniod cyborgs. I selected a set of manuvers that
seemed to reflect her typical attacks. Note, that all of the strikes seem to
work as either punches of kicks.
The knife is worn on her belt, kept at the small of the back. Her body is armored everywhere but her head. Later, when running the motorball circuit, she added a helmet.
The skills are selected based on the manga and what seemed to be appropriate for the character. Ido is a cyberdoctor and the one who gave her the berserker body.
Disadvantages Notes:
The war paint (in the anime it's blood) is either brown are dark red and goes
from under the eye, across the cheek and down to the jaw. This feature came and
went depending on her mood.
The medical attention and doesn't heal body limitations reflect her mechanical body. Anyone attempting Paramedics will be at a hefty minus, while and physical damage (breaking an arm for example) is permanent unitil it's repaired.
The Psych lims seemed to best sum up her attitude. If your going to use her in a game, feel free to adjust them to reflect the image of her you want.
Her reputation is such that she is not well liked by other hunter-warriors, while her targets will often attempt to do anything to stop her.
