Background/History: Chrysine is a Fox-class combat clade, built to participate in the Lace & Steel gladiatorial arena. She comes from a long line of such clades, and is one of many Argent-series models used in the various L&S leagues. A competent and skilled fighter, Chrysine never managed to break into the top ranks, mainly because her combat techniques, which while technically proficient, lacked the flair of more popular fighters. On the other hand, she was a consistent winner, and thus was kept in the active ranks for some time.
While initially a loyal and unquestioning clade (like many in Lace & Steel), Chrysine started to ponder her existence as she encountered other fighters and journeyed to new arenas and venues. She started to wonder about the world outside and yearned to see more of it. Conceiving a plan to escape, she realized it would take time, and one false start might doom her chances of ever getting out alive. So she started to concentrate on winning her matches as quickly and cleanly as possible. She left the crowd-pleasing acrobatic displays and pandering to the other fighters—her only desire was to win.
The chance to get away came when her next stop on the Lace & Steel circuit was Angelus. She was informed the Yakuza wanted her to throw a match. Chrysine tried to do as she was told, but years of battle-trained reflexes got the better of her, and she defeated her opponent instead. In return, the Yakuza killed her trainer, and tried to kill her. Panicking, Chrysine hurled her attacker into a wall, and ran, eventually ending up in Rho sector, where she was hidden by her fellow clades long enough to be granted Angelus citizenship.
Seeking to payback her benefactors, Chrysine joined XSWAT, seeing it as the best use of her arena-honed talents, as well as one of the few opportunities for a clade that didn’t strike her has demeaning or just another variant of her stint in Lace & Steel.
Personality/Motivation: Chrysine’s drive and determination has made her into a very methodical person. She is very precise and exacting on everything she does. She is also very set in her routines—meaning she follows the same pattern day in and day out unless events force her to do otherwise. Some of this is a holdover from her time in Lace & Steel, in which her daily routines were tightly controlled and she had little “free” time to call her own. This also makes her a very meticulous police officer who obeys the law almost exactly, fills out her paperwork promptly, and follows orders to the letter. Curiously, this same attention to detail has proven to be a benefit in some ways, as she’s quick to spot things that don’t fit the pattern, a useful trait with XSWAT.
Since gaining her freedom and joining XSWAT, Chrysine has become ardently protective of her adopted home. She feels a sense of duty to Angleus for sheltering her, and to XSWAT for offering her a position of responsibility. Thus, she will fight, and fight fiercely to protect them both, especially her fellow officers and other clades. In addition, Chrysine’s experiences have awoken a strong curiosity to learn more about her “fellow man.” She has taken to reading philosophical works on the nature of man and mankind, and often asks questions of theological nature of those officers with strong religious beliefs.
Quote: “If God made man in his image, and if man made me... does that make me just a pale imitation?”
Powers/Tactics: Trained to use spears and polearms in combat, Chrysine carries a tai-dao as an XSWAT officer. Unlike the weapons she usually used in Lace & Steel, this one has a steel blade honed razor sharp. She wears plate armor on her forearms and carries a 15mm Remington Earthshaker to go with her regulation maser.
In combat, Chrysine is known for her conservative fighting style. She tends to avoid flashy or dynamic maneuvers, usually seeing them as a waste of time (or a hazard to oneself), and concentrates on direct and (pardon the pun) to the point strikes. However, she also understands the value of a good show, and isn’t above using certain forms of practice kata to impress and unnerve foes, especially if they have her outnumbered. As an XSWAT officer she tends to concentrate on things like Bind, Disarm, Legsweep, and so on, understanding that her duty is to arrest—not kill—her foes. Of course, she also understands that not every arrest can be resolved so simply, and there are those are more than willing to kill to avoid capture, and against these types she won’t hold back..
Campaign Use: Chrysine has numerous “sisters,” some dead, some retired, some still active. A quick list includes: the White Fox, the Silver Fox, the Arctic Fox, and so on. Chrysine herself is probably not the original “Winter Fox” and may have several virtually identical twins out there, somewhere.
Appearance: Chrysine stands 6’2” with the athletic build typical of female combat-class Clades. Her straight white hair extends down past her shoulders in back and tends to fall into her face and eyes in front. As a fox-based Clade, she has the large ears and bushy tail common to all vulpine canids.
