Char-
Name: Jikken, Maia
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Height: 5' 3"
Appearance: Maia is small and compact. She has visible muscle but the compact nature keeps her from being bulky. Her curves are rather few and muted. Her face, however, is pretty enough to make up for that though it's rarely animated much. Her green eyes are narrow and thin brows generally furrowed. A dark brunette, Maia's hair is kept back in a braid down to her mid thigh. Her bangs are cut haphazardly, longer nearer to her ears so that they frame her face. Her skin is a deep caramel color, though white scars cross it randomly. Flexable and agile, she moves with confidence and grace born from a life of fighting, making it obvious on sight that she can be dangerous.
Clothing: Maia wears a skin tight, spandex-like, sleeveless shirt that cuts off just under her bust to leave her belly exposed. It is mostly black but a stripe of gold rounds each arm hole and runs down her sides. Matching is a pair of skin tight shorts of the same, complete with gold stripes down the sides. She also wears sturdy black boots that are flexable but still strong.
History: Maia was born in a twin set but a day after their birth, the Clan holdings were attacked. Maia's twin disappeared. In mourning, a decision had to be made. Although Maia was female, her father decided to go ahead and train her as all First Borns were trained. Maia did well through it, learning the ways of battle as easily as she breathed. She was close to her mother, Hana, who clung to her remaining child. Although Hana had another baby when Maia was five, she and her eldest stayed very close.
At ten, it was decided that Maia needed a servant and confidant. Cai Si was chosen from the Zun clan, who had served the Jikken for centuries. Although Cai Si was four years older, she was the only Zun child of the right age. At first, the two got along badly. Cai Si's anger often sent her into rages before she stormed off, leaving a bewildered Maia behind. It wasn't until Hana became ill in Maia's twelve year that they began to get close. It was Cai Si that comforted Maia after Hana's death and brought her back from the brink of depression. They became inseperable afterwards.
At fifteen, the Jikken found a strange mechanical suit and took it for their own. It was examined thoroughly but there was no reaction until Maia came forward to check it out. Trial and error proved the girl had the ability to move the thing. Her father decided to add that to her training and Maia spent the next two years training in the strange MECH's use. Cai Si fufilled her role by learning how to maintain the suit and otherwise be of use. On the eve of her seventeenth year, the Jikken Clan Head decided Maia was ready and began coordinating attacks against the Elite.
Personality: As the eldest child of the Jikken clan head, Maia must hold herself to a higher level than most others would think of doing. She is utterly calm and keeps her composure in even the roughest of scrapes. Having been trained in warfare her entire life, Maia is confident in her abilities and does not fear death. Instead, she has pledged her life willingly to try freeing the world from Elitest tyranny. She herself has little reason to hate the Elite but is willing to fight them anyway. As a person, Maia is rather weak. She lacks the will to counteract her family's word, even less to have her own opinions about anything. In short, whatever could have been an original thought is immediately squashed in the wake of familiar loyalty. She will do anything her clan commands her to do, even die. The only thing she has ever not given up is her hair, which she keeps as a memento to her mother. Although she has no real care for her own safety, Maia does care about the safety of those close to her. That is why she let go of her own 'self' to become the weapon the Jikken clan needed. The closest person to her is her MAC operator, Cai Si Zun. She is the only one Maia has ever called "friend" and is the person she most desperately wants to protect.
MECH-
Name: Chesire
Nickname: Both young women refer to the MECH after Maia's mother, Hana. Cai Si uses her name while Maia sticks with "Mother".
Appearance: This MECH tends to be a little slimmer than most, built for speed rather than sheer strength and power. It's main colors are white, gold, and black, much like the Jikken Clan.
Weapons: Hana has two swords, stored crossed over one another on its back.
MAC: Managed by Cai Si Zun, who has spent her life around machines. Maia and Cai Si are very close friends, close enough that other would likely question their relationship.
Char-
Name: Zun, Cai Si
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Height: 5' 5"
Appearance: Cai Si is slim and shapely, but she still packs a mean punch. Only the fact that she tends to be more of a mechanic than a warrior keeps her from bulking up any more. Her dark eyes are blue in color, thickly lashed, and Asian-esque in shape. Shiny black hair is kept in a bowl cut, the front parted in the center. Her skin is a nice uniform peach, though her hands have many scars from her profession. Cai Si walks with confidence and a large dash of arrogence, as if she owned the world. Her expressions are vivid and ever changing between smug superiority and absolute rage.
Clothing: Cai Si wears martial arts style pants in white. Over, she wears a tight fitting, dark blue dress down to her knees. It is high necked and zips up the front. The long sleeves cover the backs of her hands and loop over her middle fingers. A slit goes up each side to her hips. She wears black slippers to finish. If needed, she has a long, gold, button up jacket to wear that's just a few inches longer than her dress.
History: Cai Si was a third child, so there was very little pressure put upon her. As a member of the Zun clan, she knew she might be called upon to serve the Jikken clan in some way, as the Zun clan had done so for centuries, but she was otherwise left alone. Cai Si spent her time watching her older brothers fight and playing around in her father's garage. She tinkered with things she shouldn't and when she was found out, her father decided that maybe it would benefit her to learn to deal with machines. Therefore, he started teaching her. By twelve, Cai Si was doing repair work as her father's official apprentice with only her age keeping her from moving to the rank of journeyman mechanic.
When the Jikken Clan Head's eldest turned ten, it was decided she needed a servant and confidant. Cai Si was chose, although she was four years older, because she was the only Zun child of the right age. At first, the two got along badly. Cai Si's anger often sent her into rages before she stormed off, leaving a bewildered Maia behind. It wasn't until Maia's mother Hana became ill in Cai Si's sixteenth year that they began to get close. It was Cai Si that comforted Maia after Hana's death and brought her back from the brink of depression. They became inseperable afterwards.

Cai Si fufilled her role by learning how to maintain the suit and otherwise be of use. On the eve of her twenty-first year, the Jikken Clan Head decided Maia was ready and began coordinating attacks against the Elite.
Personality: As a foil for her partner, Cai Si is hot headed, opinionated, and refuses to be quieted. She has a strong feminist streak and her hate of men may actually exceed her hate for the Elites. Bullheaded as she tends to be, Cai Si often gets into fights with her family or even Jikken clan members and only her connection to Maia has kept her out of serious trouble. Cai Si may act like she's on top of the world, but she suffers from a low self esteem and often questions her own actions. She is rather mothely towards Maia and is one of the only ones close to her that treats the girl like more than a weapon. Cai Si is violently protective of Maia and would do anything for her. Often has her affection for the girl been called into question, but she denies being anything but very close friends. Still, it may be that she simply hasn't decided to pursue Maia and she herself wouldn't know. As a side note, Cai Si often alludes to the book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" in her speech. The actual name for Maia's suit therefore amuses her.
