Overview
Archetype: Arsenal fighter, Cable inspired
Tags: Spacer, Zoner, Projectile
Species: Protogen
She is the benchmark for other spacers in the game to be measured against, her entire gameplan revolves around keeping the opponent away with projectiles and beam attacks, while using assists to cover for her poor close range abilities.
*Careful balance consideration between projectiles and projectile defense at a game-wide level needs to be considered in her frame data.
Her laser cannon is named Paoro after "Paoro Tholi: goddess of echoes; in the lore of the Ngāti Hau iwi, she gave voice to the first woman, Mārikoriko." (

Background
R&D at
Mako Robotics, an adrenaline junkie by nature, she has led a life of extremes and takes that to work with her every day designing increasingly overpowered machines on the regular.
Appearance
Extremely loud and absolutely having the time of her life with her overpowered arsenal of weapons.
Māori facial tattoos are instead done as decals in her helmet and visor, and should represent bits and pieces of her life story. ***do extra research on cultural tattoos before designing (Your culture is so damned interesting to learn about <3)
Paoro (her laser cannon) is a near-future sci-fi looking cannon visually somewhere between Iron Man's Proton Cannon and Cable's Viper, with cooling vents for secondary steam animations. Color scheme is Steel and Carbon Fiber.
