Name: Valley
Gender: Male (though looks quite feminine/androgynous)
Age: Unknown (appears to be about 19)
Height: 5'6"
Race: Artificially-manipulated human companion/slave.
Skills: Trained in 'sensual arts'.
Abilities: Photographic reflexes - Can copy/mimic/imitate the actions of anyone he sees. Often uses this with 'memory references' to perform needed actions in various situations.
Items/Possessions: Reflector/restraint armor - A suit of old, patched-together, red metallic armor with a faulty reflector/repulse shield generator. Designed to generate a skin-tight forcefield around the 'companion' to ensure that the appearance is not marred or damaged. While pain is still experienced by the 'companion', it is a very strong shell that can deflect even small arms fire. It is an old and damaged model, though, and is prone to constant field fluctuations and the stray system failure. Cannot be removed without the proper data key, effectively locking the 'companion' within for safe-keeping.
Appearance:
Background:
During the worst times of the aftermath of the holocaust, when packs of scavengers roamed and culture had degenerated to near barbarism, a new practice was born on the wastes of the battlefields. Because of the high death toll and vicious killing all around, a great deal of resources began to run low. One 'resource' included with this was female 'companionship'. As such, female slaves were carefully bred and trained as well as bound with specialized armor. Using minor forcefield technology to protect and maintain their carefully groomed appearances, the treasured slaves were protected when deadly skirmishes frequently arose. These armors also possessed restraint functions to paralyze the wearer on command to prevent escape (brutal submission training was another technique common during these times.
As time passed and conditions worsened with higher death rates, female slaves became increasingly rare. Thus, young males were used as a replacement by being injected from a young age with synth-hormones to give them a feminine appearance while the armor concealed their true sex. This practice allowed for great deceptions in bartering for goods, for companions to be used as soldiers and spies against hesitant enemies believing they were valuable female companions, or (when depravity reigned and social norms reached their lowest points) simply as true replacements for sensual companions.
After all the battles and killing, with the last shots fired and a deadly quiet settling in, this last slave struggles to survive on it's own... relatively defenseless in a world where his kind are still remembered, sought after, and manipulated.
