NPC: Sarah Walker

Sarah is a very strict, no-nonsense sort of woman. She has little patience for shenanigans, and takes her job as one of the U.S. most important lines of defense against potential metahuman threats very seriously. Still, she is kind and helpful; though gruff, she sees herself as ultimately less a tool of war and destruction, and more of a pillar of defense and peace. She has dedicated life and limb to keeping people safe, and will fulfill that role at any cost, however she can. While of average general intelligence, her purely tactical mind is brilliant, and she can outmaneuver a wide selection of opponents.

History

Sarah Walker was a delinquent and a drop-out. At 17 years old, with no goal and no future, she jumped the sinking ship that was her family and joined up with the military. She didn't want discipline, or a direction, or a team. She just wanted something fun to do that wasn't gonna wind up getting her arrested. So she enlisted, and went through training; she impressed her superiors, and then impressed her superior's superior's, and so on and so forth. She was good. Not insanely smart, but she had a fine strategic mind, an indomitable will, and fought like a force of nature.

Eventually, she was recruited into the U.S. government's newest super soldier program, Ancile (named after the Roman god Mars' shield, and of which she was the twelfth recruit), designed to take an average soldier and turn them into a one-man army capable of handling the wide array of known and potential methuman threats that the nation faced.  Trained to be the best of the best and built to be better than that, Sarah underwent numerous medical upgrades including gene therapy and cybernetic implants that would hone her body into an unstoppable train of pain. Given state-of-the-art equipment, Sarah and the other Ancile agents were scattered across the continent one lone-wolf missions to prevent and stop any superpowered threats the US government was aware of.

Superhuman Physicality

Due to her extensive cybernetic and genetic modifications, Sarah has become physically superhuman. Capable of lifting 10 tons, running up to 150 MPH,
can easily shrug off even bullet wounds, and has practically unparalleled reaction times. She was engineered to be able to go toe-to-toe with even powerful metahumans, and with her enhancements, she can fulfill that job easily.

Military Equipment

Befitting her role as one of America's new breed of supersoldier, Sarah has been given top-of-the line military gear, including:

• M4A1 Assault Rifle
  
• Remington 870 Tactical Shotgun
  
• HK MP5N
  
• Two Smith and Wesson 500 Revolvers
  
• State of the art ANCILE armor system, equipped with medical modules and other survival gear
  

Originally built by Martin Walsh and later gifted to Sarah, Pedro is Sarah's British-accented robot, or more appropriately, robuddy. A small, hovering utility droid, Pedro is capable of providing her with information both scientific and occult, aiding her with computer hacking abilities, functioning as a small mobile toolbox for any strictly mechanical needs, and via device separately gifted by Martin that Sarah carries, he can teleport to her location at will. Pedro is largely vulnerable in combat, and so relegates himself to a mostly support role.
