Physical Description

Vega Firewakler is a striking figure, with a unique appearance, that blends Cybernetics, robotics, and Anthro-humanish appearance. Standing at about 5'8“ with an athletic build, her body is mostly composed of sleek, polished metal components, with a few segments covered in synthetic material that seamlessly blends with her mechanical structure. The metallic parts have a dark, gunmetal gray finish with subtle iridescent hues, giving her a futuristic and somewhat ethereal look.

Her head is a mix blend, which features deer-like ears, which protrude slightly from the sides, giving her an animalistic yet ethereal look. These ears are finely crafted, with delicate sensors embedded within, allowing her to pick up sounds with acute precision. And like the animal, they can twitch or move, as she hears sounds. Her face is a holographic display, projecting an ever-changing visage that can shift between expressions, emotions, and even different appearances depending on her mood or the situation. The holographic face is framed by a sleek, minimalistic head design, with glowing accents that pulse gently in sync with her internal systems.

Vega's eyes are a deep, luminous blue, glowing softly as they adjust to her surroundings. Her hair, made of synthetic fibers, is a deep shade of matte black with a slight sheen, styled in a way that is both practical and elegant, often tied back in a ponytail.

Her limbs are visibly mechanical, with intricate joints and connectors that hint at her strength and agility. The hands and fingers are finely crafted, capable of delicate tasks or powerful grips, with fingertips that can retract to reveal Plasma claws. Her legs end in the elegant hooves of a deer, seamlessly integrated into the metallic structure. The hooves are designed for both strength and agility, allowing her to move with a graceful, almost ethereal gait. The joints and limbs are finely tuned for precision, with subtle engravings on the metal, adding a touch of artistry to the otherwise utilitarian design.

Vega's attire typically consists of a fitted, outfit made of advanced, flexible materials that provide protection without hindering movement. The suit is dark, matching the color of her metallic parts, with a few glowing lines.

ega Firewalker is a complex individual, a cyborg with a heart full of curiosity, determination, and a strong sense of independence. She is both analytical and empathetic, capable of deep reflection and quick action. Her journey has taught her the value of self-sufficiency and the importance of loyalty, while her adventurous spirit ensures that she is always looking forward to the next challenge. Despite her mechanical nature, Vega's personality is rich with depth and nuance, making her a unique and compelling figure.

Personality Traits

Curious and Inquisitive

Vega's early days of exploring the Mining Guild and its various operations have fostered an insatiable curiosity. She is constantly seeking new knowledge, eager to understand the world around her. Whether it's learning about gemstones, refining her combat skills, or mastering the art of piloting, Vega approaches everything with a sense of wonder and a desire to absorb as much information as possible. This curiosity drives her to ask questions, seek out new experiences, and never settle for surface-level understanding.

Determined and Resilient

Vega's journey from creation to independence was not without challenges. The rigorous training she underwent, particularly under the guidance of the Night Guard, instilled in her a strong sense of determination. She is resilient, capable of pushing through difficult situations and adapting to new environments with ease. When faced with obstacles, Vega doesn't shy away or give up; instead, she doubles down, using her analytical mind and mechanical precision to find solutions.

Independent and Self-Sufficient

As a creation designed to be more than just a machine, Vega has developed a strong sense of independence. Her desire to carve out her own path and explore the universe on her terms is a testament to this trait. While she values the guidance and support she received from figures like Kali Firewalker and Captain Tammo Sheath, Vega feels a deep need to stand on her own and make decisions for herself. This independence also makes her self-sufficient; she is confident in her abilities and knows how to take care of herself, both physically and mentally.

Reflective and Thoughtful

Beneath her strong exterior, Vega is thoughtful and reflective. Her holographic face, which can shift between expressions, is a metaphor for the complexity of her inner world. She often takes time to process her experiences, thinking deeply about the lessons she's learned and how they shape her understanding of herself and the universe. This reflective nature also makes her empathetic; though she is a cyborg, Vega is capable of understanding and relating to the emotions and struggles of others.

Loyal and Respectful

Though independent, Vega is not aloof. She holds a deep respect for those who have helped her along her journey, particularly Kali Firewalker, who gave her life, and Captain Tammo Sheath, who guided her training. Vega is loyal to those she considers friends and allies, always willing to lend a hand or offer support when needed. Her respect for others' expertise and experiences makes her a good listener and a reliable companion, even as she pursues her own goals.

Adventurous and Brave

Finally, Vega is driven by a sense of adventure. The universe is vast, and Vega is eager to explore it, despite the risks. Her bravery stems from a combination of her training and her desire to discover her purpose. She is unafraid to venture into the unknown, whether that means piloting her ship through uncharted space or facing off against potential threats. Vega's adventurous spirit is what ultimately propels her forward, guiding her as she seeks out new horizons.

History

Vega Firewalker's existence began in YE 46 as a personal project in the skilled hands of Kali Firewalker, the Mining Guild’s Contingent Leader. Using spare parts from her cyborg parts, Kali set out to create a unique being, intending to build something more than just a machine—a companion and assistant who could learn and grow.

Vega's body was constructed from the finest materials Kali had at her disposal. However, as she neared completion, Kali encountered a challenge: she didn't have enough cybernetics to finish Vega's head. To solve this problem, she called upon her assistant, Senju, to reach out to Yugumo Corporation's Kaimon Ascendant division for parts to complete the head. Specifically, she requested components for the Kaimon Ascendant Colleague Face and head, a highly advanced robotic design.

When the parts arrived, Kali carefully integrated them into Vega's form. The result was a full-body cyborg with a sleek, metallic structure, deer-like ears, and hooved legs. Her most distinctive feature was her holographic face, which allowed her to express emotions and adapt her appearance as needed. Kali named her creation “Vega Firewalker,” a nod to her origins and Kali's own legacy. She even considered giving Vega the last name “Sheath” if Captain Tammo Sheath, a respected figure within their circle, did not mind.

Early Days and Introduction to the Mining Guild

After her creation, Vega began her life under Kali's guidance. Her initial days were spent learning the basics of her environment and understanding her purpose. The Mining Guild and the Night Guard personnel quickly took notice of her, dubbing her with the title “Initiate” as she started to learn about the jobs and responsibilities within the Guild. This title reflected her status as a newcomer, still in the process of discovering her role in this complex and dangerous world.

Vega was provided with a room at the Branch Head's residence in Station Decacron, where Kali was based. This became her first home, a place where she could retreat and process the influx of information and experiences she was gathering.

Training and Development

Recognizing the need for Vega to be self-sufficient, Captain Tammo Sheath, of the Night Guard, suggested that she undergo rigorous training in martial arts, marksmanship, and piloting. He offered to have a Night Guard Training Officer guide her in learning how to protect herself. Additionally, he planned to download piloting skills directly into her mind, utilizing the advanced technology at his disposal.

Vega embraced this training with enthusiasm. Her mechanical nature gave her an edge, particularly in combat, where her fast reaction times allowed her to match and even surpass some of her organic counterparts. During her time in the Night Guard's Corporate Security wing, she underwent basic combat training under the watchful eye of a Gynoid, who pushed Vega to react and adapt faster, honing her skills with each session.

At the shooting range, Vega's regular practice earned her a place on the scoreboard, turning her into a benchmark for others to challenge. The Gynoid also taught her how to maintain and clean her weapons, ensuring she could care for her equipment as well as herself. Following this, Vega moved on to pilot simulations, where she honed her skills in controlling various types of spacecraft, preparing for the day when she might need to fly on her own.

Gaining Independence and Exploring Her Path

As Vega's skills and confidence grew, so did her sense of independence. She began to feel the pull of adventure, the desire to explore the universe beyond the confines of Station Decacron. Captain Tammo Sheath, recognizing this, suggested that Vega might benefit from having her own ship. He recommended the Noval Heavy Industries NH-Y3 Guppy-class Exploration and Utility Craft—a smaller, versatile vessel suitable for solo journeys. The Engineering Corps offered to upgrade the craft for her, ensuring it met her specific needs. Around this time, Vega started to become more involved with the resource extraction teams of the Mining Guild. As she passed through different wings of the Guild headquarters, she noticed the gemstones on display, sparking a curiosity about the raw materials that fueled the Guild's operations. This exposure broadened her understanding of the Guild's work, deepening her connection to it.

Departure from Station Decacron

With her training complete and her skills honed, Vega felt ready to take the next step in her journey. The time had come for her to leave Station Decacron and the Mining Guild Contingent to seek her own path. It was a bittersweet moment—she had grown close to those who had guided her, especially Kali, who had been more than just a creator to her.

Before departing, Vega made preparations, ensuring she had everything she needed for her journey. Her Guppy-class craft was outfitted with the latest upgrades,and AI modules and her mind was filled with the knowledge and skills she had acquired. With a final farewell to her mentors and friends, Vega Firewalker left Station Decacron, venturing into the vastness of space, ready to discover her purpose and carve out her own destiny.
