Cinereous Browning

Cinereous Browning is currently the Chief of Weapons Design at Azura Defence. She is also an active Huntress.

Appearance
Cinereous is a fairly tall and lean woman with long, light brown hair and piercing green eyes. She has fairly radiant skin, though not much of a tan due to her being in doors most of the time. Her casual outfit consists of her long sleeve blouse and deep blue skirt, along with her sword and scabbard. Her hair is almost always up in a ponytail, making her hair length manageable.

Her combat outfit, which she designed herself, consists of something similar to her casual outfit underneath except with slightly tougher material, as well as a suit of complex, blue armor over the clothing, utilizing a metal, outward curving chest-plate, in which several pieces of flexible armor are connected, overlapping each other and the upper part of her skirt, also having a place for her weapon. For each arm, she's designed a flexible "network" of armor plates, similar to samurai armor, the sturdier armor plates being on her shoulders. On her hands, she wears specially made gloves, that connect to the armor, which are resistant to flame and are able to externally conduct electricity while insulating for her hands themselves. On her head, she wears four pieces of metal in the four corners of her face, allowing a thin film of energy to cover her face, working as a shield against projectiles and blows. A fifth band of decorative armor is at the base of her ponytail.

Personality
Cinereous is an ambitious and energetic woman, mostly due to her current career. She enjoys working, designing weapons and managing her department. As such, she is easily excitable, often struggling to maintain professionalism, both in business and in combat. Her actions by nature are peaceable, even when insulted or ignored. However, her skill as a Huntress makes her unable to easily back down from a challenge.

Backstory
Cinereous was raised in the Kingdom of Mistral to a fairly wealthy family, who were known for their skills in forging and weapons. Her father taught her how to hunt and survive with simply a pack and a rifle, while her mother taught her the more specific art of swordsmanship and it's many styles. Her parents encouraged her to be a Huntress, attending Haven academy and passing with ambitions of helping the world in better ways. After graduating, she took up a job at a local weapons shop in her hometown, where she eventually made her armor to accompany her weapon. The armor was enough to get her a message from Azura Defence, in which she more than eagerly sought employment at before. She easily accept her dream job at twenty-four, and became Chief of Weapons Design by the age of twenty-nine..

Weapons and Abilities
Her Charged Ammo Electric Blade, named Star Breaker, at a glance appears to be standard, double-edged sword made of durable metal. However, due to Cinereous' design, the two edges are further edged by blue energy blades, which meet at the tip to form an electric prong. Down the middle, the two energy layers are separated, leaving room for the transformation. The energy is capable of slicing through most materials effectively, deflecting some projectiles and most melee weapons. On her non-dominant arm, she utilizes the same sort of energy to take the form of a small shield. When the weapon is transformed, the energy dissipates, the weapon collapsing inwards to form a long rifle, complete with modular scopes and a small magazine. The rifle fires standard ammunition, however it uses the energy system of the sword to add extra punch and penetration to the rounds, increasing velocity and accuracy somewhat at the cost of rate of fire, as the system must recharge.
