Name: Amaterasu
Avatar Style: Combat
Gender: Female
Appearance: Amaterasu's appearance is that of a young woman in her mid to late 20's wearing an incredibly regal looking white kimono with swirling bright crimson markings running along it. Amaterasu's skin is rather pale, nearing the same color as porcelain in terms of complexion. Her hair is also very pale, starting out as white as snow and running down her back in a long mane that starts to gradually fade from snow white to pitch back about three quarters of the way down.
One of Amaterasu's most striking features is her eyes, which have bright gold irises that seem to glow from within with some kind of inner light. Amaterasu's build is rather slender, as opposed to most other combat avatars who have an athletic physique, her thin build doesn't impede her ability to fight however, and most seem to underestimate just how dangerous she can be if pressed.
User: None (Is currently functioning as a "Rogue" avatar until a user is chosen.)
Personality: Amaterasu is an incredibly kind avatar who is never without a kind word or a comforting hand to place on someone's shoulder if they need it. She is the assigned "Mother" to the Wave 2 Cyberblades, and has since taken on the duties of being a mother figure to the Wave 1 members of the project as well.
This behavior is not out of character for Amaterasu, who has a tendency to dote on young or sensitive avatars, no matter how powerful they are. This is a side effect of her motherly instincts, which are hardwired into her personality programming. As such, she is incredibly protective of her "Children" and will not hesitate to injure or even kill anyone who threatens them, human or avatar.
Aside from her protective instincts, Amaterasu is generally outgoing and friendly, rarely raising her voice unless she needs to be heard. She is also in possession of a slightly sarcastic sense of humor, though she usually only exercises it in the presence of her children or her friends. She is also incredibly fond of music, dancing, and art, painting in particular. As such, she can usually be seen in the R&D server painting landscapes while traditional Japanese music is playing nearby.
History: In an interesting turn of events, Amaterasu was originally not intended to be a Cyberblade at all, instead she was part of an experiment to replicate an AI's programming and place it into an avatar's frame that had been attempted nearly half a decade before the Cyberblade project produced results. The experiment ultimately failed, and Amaterasu was left in stasis until the Cyberblade project began production of it's Wave 2 avatars.
There were many fears that the new emotional programming coupled with possible prejudice and job stress could render the units insane over a period of time, and it was determined that an avatar would be needed to act as a "Moral Compass" for the Wave 2 avatars, someone who could teach them right from wrong. One of the scientists involved in Wave 2 had also been a member of the team that created Amaterasu. He recommended that due to her already motherly demeanor, which had been present from her creation, that she would be the best candidate for the program.
In the end, she was re-tooled as a Cyberblade unit and refitted into a more modern framework with 99% of her original data intact. She has recently been fitted with her equipment, as well as a prototype program designed by The Doctor from data stolen from PariahTech during the siege on their server.
Add-Ons: Combat - Divine Instrument: Thunder Edge: All of Amaterasu's weapons are based off of the three Imperial Regalia, a trio of holy artifacts belonging to the Japanese royal family, in this case, Thunder Edge is based off of the legendary Kusanagi blade. Thunder edge is a double edged sword with a blade length of three and a half feet long, plus an extra foot and a half for the large handle and guard that the blade possesses. Despite it's size, Thunder Edge is incredibly light and precise, and is balanced so that Amaterasu can wield it one handed.
Thunder edge is unique in that it is imbued with the power of lightning, this allows it to fire out bolts or even waves of lightning at targets and absorb electrical attacks directed at it. Thunder Edge deals out a moderate amount of damage per strike, it's lightning bolts deal a moderate amount of damages as well, while Electrical waves only deal light damage.
Combat - Divine Instrument: Solar Flare: An unshakable defense burning with the power of the sun, the Solar flare is based off of the Holy Mirror Yata no Kagami. Despite being based off of a Mirror, Solar Flare is an incredibly durable shield that can block most forms of attack absorb and fire based attacks leveled against it. It achieves this by creating a large wall of flame that bursts from the rim of the reflector, this flame disintegrates most projectiles while the reflector itself is used to parry melee attacks.
But Solar Flare is not just a shield to hide behind, it is also a potent projectile weapon. Amaterasu can throw the shield at an opponent and control it's trajectory telepathically. The shield is wreathed in an intense blanket of flames as it flies, and combined with the sheer force of it's impact it is capable of punching smoldering holes though softer targets, harder targets cause the shield to ricochet at a sharp angle, possibly into another target.
Amaterasu cannot block both Projectiles and Melee attacks at the same time, and any extra hits granted to a target by Solar Flare's Ricochet ability is determined by the target themselves. Solar flare deals a moderate amount of damage per hit.
Combat - Divine Instrument: Tundra Beads: A holy rosary that freezes the souls of the wicked, The Tundra Beads are based off of the holy Jewel Yasakani no Magatama. The Tundra beads are always on Amaterasu's person, wrapped around her right wrist in an intricate pattern that is both eye catching and keeps it securely fastened to her arm.
However, when she needs a fast weapon that is difficult to block, the rosary around her arm is unfurled into a 10 foot long whip made out of beads imbued with the powers of a Yuki-Onna, or "Snow Woman". This causes the beads to reach a temperature of absolute zero, and allows Amaterasu to freeze and opponents weapon, either locking it up if it is a firearm, or shattering it if it is a melee weapon such as an ax or sword. The Tundra Beads deal light damage per hit but can attack up to three times per post as a result of it's high speed. Weapons frozen or destroyed by the Tundra beads are unusable for a single post, after which they either thaw or immediately reappear in the user's hand.
Connectivity - Wolf Form: Amaterasu is capable of transforming into a white wolf when speed is of the essence, her wolf form is supernaturally fast, capable of matching Saber's Skystrike form in terms of raw speed. This form also allows her to run up and across walls and water as if they were sold ground, making it almost impossible for something to stop Amaterasu from reaching her destination.
Downloaded Programs: Combat - Blessing of the Goddess: Amaterasu is capable of restoring one person's vitality to it's maximum amount by channeling the energy of the Cyber World into them. This DP can only be used once before requiring 5 turns to cool down.
Combat - Holy Retribution: Holy Retribution is a powerful beam of solar energy that is fired from the tip of Thunder Edge, the beam itself is approximately 5 feet wide and deals a large amount of damage. This DP requires a 4 turn cool down in between each use.
Combat - Elemental Gift: Amaterasu is capable of "Blessing" an ally's weapon with an elemental attribute for 5 turns, or in the case of the wind element, until it is expended and requires a 5 post cooldown once the effect wears off. the Elements are:
Combat - Goddess' Gift: This is an experimental program based off of stolen test data retrieved during the PariahTech raid. It functions via Amaterasu's ability to use the energy of the environment around her and alter it to an extent. This ability draws a large amount of data into Amaterasu, who in turn forms it into an orb the size of a medicine ball. The orb is then fired at the intended target and grants them a boost to a single attribute for a short period of time. The Boosts last for 6 turns and a 8 turn cooldown is required until this DP can be used again, NOTE: the Cooldown does not start until AFTER the effects of the boost have vanished.
The Boosts are:

Combat - Elemental Gift: Amaterasu is capable of "Blessing" an ally's weapon with an elemental attribute for 5 turns, or in the case of the wind element, until it is expended and requires a 5 post cooldown once the effect wears off. the Elements are:
- Fire - The Fire element causes the user's weapon to deal 5 turns worth of burning damage on top of the damage dealt by the weapon itself.
- Lightning - The Lightning element makes the user's weapon become charged with electricity, this not only boosts damage by a decent amount, but it also has a chance of paralyzing the target ((Whether or not the target is paralyzed is up to them.))
- Wind - The Wind Element is essentially a "Get out of Jail free card" the user's weapon is given a "Typhoon Charge". When this charge is used, a massive wall formed from a tornado negates any that would be dealt to the user no matter how destructive, however, they have to be AWARE of the attack first. Sneak attacks cannot be blocked by a Typhoon Charge.

The orb is then fired at the intended target and grants them a boost to a single attribute for a short period of time. The Boosts last for 6 turns and a 8 turn cooldown is required until this DP can be used again, NOTE: the Cooldown does not start until AFTER the effects of the boost have vanished.
The Boosts are:
- Strength: All Melee attack damage is increased by three times.
- Speed: Speed, agility and reaction time is doubled.
- Armor: The user's damage resistance is boosted by 100%
- Sense: The user is capable of seeing through cloaking programs and becomes immune to DP's and Add-Ons that cripple Sight, Hearing, Touch, Taste, or Smell.
