So I will probably alter Xero a bit to be a bit more firmly in the leadership/face role since that wasn't taken. This is still a WIP as I'm anticipating our plotting to clarify things and shift things and all that. Still looking for a pic too >.<<br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong><em>Jack of Hearts</em></strong><br/><br/>Name: Xerena West aka Xero [Formerly known as Sunshine/Sunny]<br/>Birthday | Age: Unknown | 34 <br/>Gender: Non-Binary, Any Pronouns are okay but typically uses she/her for ease<br/>Sexuality: Pan, Tends to lean dom/top but can switch<br/><br/>Role: Leader of the Jacks, Strategist <br/>Skills:<br/>Driver/Wheelman - If you drive it, ride it, or pilot it, Xero can handle it. Anything she doesn't know already she can pick up rather quickly. Her hand eye coordination and reflex speed are top notch and her pulse always steady. Best of all, she's not afraid to get creative. <br/>Expert Marksman - shoot it, throw it, fling it, sling it, she hits what she aims for. <br/>Offline surveillance work, extractions, and various other backup and support roles. <br/><br/>Eyes | Hair: Both shift colors, eyes are mood dependent<br/>Height | Build: Just under 6 ft | Athletic w/ curves<br/>Augments: <br/>Nanites that help healing--side effects are crazy metabolism, shifting eye colors, white hair, bouts of hypersensitivity<br/>Prosthetic right arm (outdated tech)<br/>Chrome fangs<br/>Left arm, leg and spine are heavily tattooed<br/>Appearance: Typically wears suits of various styles, always wears gloves and dark glasses outside home<br/><br/><br/>Personality: <br/>Outwardly Xero exudes confidence along with an almost ruthless practicality. She's always calm and in control (she can be a bit obsessive about control) with an air of simmering sensuality regardless of what her underlying feelings might be. She would say that charm is decidedly not something she possesses but she makes up for it in other ways. She is unafraid to be bold and direct when necessary, but definitely understands the value of subtlety as a weapon and as such chooses her words carefully. She has a strong sense of honor, though her moral code is entirely her own. When she gives her word, something that is never done casually, she sticks by it no matter how uncomfortable and she will never ask another to do anything that she herself would not do. Fear is never an excuse.<br/><br/>The desire for a home, a real home and a family and safety is what drives Xero. Though there's a little bit of a need for revenge tied up in there as well. Despite how confident she is in business when it comes to her personal life, Xero is a mess. She's not had any lasting relationship prior to the Jacks and definitely never had anyone around who cared enough about her feelings to ask so most of the time she finds it difficult to properly communicate where emotions are concerned... but she's learning. Amongst the Jacks, in the privacy of their lair, she has moments where she might seem demanding or needy, however gruff such things may come off, and sometimes does not know how to ask for what she needs or will be stubborn about it. <br/><br/><br/>About: <br/>-Started life as a goofy street kid with fast hands, sharp eyes, and an even sharper wit<br/>-Eventually scooped up into the military and enrolled in the academy. After coming of age, was rated for combat and underwent numerous upgrades.<br/>-Was treated like a prized pet code named Sunshine until bad source code was uploaded and their brain fragged. Lost it and went on a rampage but managed to rip her own arm off, which slowed her enough for operatives to put her down. <br/>-The military reclaimed all of their enhancements, stripped her of everything (including her rank and accomplishments) and discharged the mess they left into the waiting arms of Kronos Corp. (has a focus on prolonging the use of organic bodies, eliminating the likelihood of upgrade rejection or even reducing the strain put on the brain)<br/>-Kronos Corp decides to use her in their "Infinity" program where she is injected with several versions of the experimental nanites they developed.<br/>-After a few years of testing, during which the nanites actually do work, she overhears them debate changing her status to obsolete as they'd used her benchmarks to further develop their nanites and inject them into another subject. She is discarded but the nanites still in her body manage to revive her.<br/>-Is found by a Medtech who takes her in, gives her a cot, a new (but outdated) arm, and a name [Xerena West] all in exchange for protection and odd jobs. <br/>-The Medtech is killed by a new crew moving into the territory and Xerena, now Xero, silently declares war.<br/>-Meets Kiyoshi first on an assembled team and the two end up working together a few times before going on what was supposed to be a bird job (aka easy money) that went to hell. They manage to survive by relying on each other and from there end up sticking together as partners, forming the foundations of the Jacks.<br/><br/><br/>Likes: Origami, Cats, Birds (Owls especially), Long drives, Chewing/biting things, Card games, Puzzles, Old manual/non-cyber versions of things, Cooking real food, Sharing meals, Reading, Selective sensory deprivation<br/>Dislikes: Being touched by strangers, odd textures that take her by surprise, Environments that may cause sensory overload<br/><br/>Ons: List is not exhaustive, feel free to just ask. Xero is open to quite a lot, usually as the top but can switch.<br/><br/>Sex - vaginal, oral, anal; slow, fast, gentle, rough, passionate, playful, sleepy, desperate, indulgent, quickies, clothed, half clothed... all yes. Kissing, Touching, Cuddling, Teasing.<br/>Light to moderate bondage, Biting/scratching, Voyeurism &amp; giving direction, Spanking/slapping, Light to moderate pain, Blindfolds, Hearing partners (moans, begging, dirty talk), Orgasm Control/Denial/Edging, Strap-ons/Pegging, Masturbation, Cockwarming, Rimming, Face-Sitting, Breath Play, Puppy or Kitten Play, After-Care.<br/><br/>Offs: Anything that belongs in a toilet, being spit on, fisting, feet.<br/><br/><br/>Relationships:<br/><br/>Kiyo - Xero first felt protective as hell of Kiyo. He proved himself quickly on the job, leading to respect on Xero's end but she never managed to get rid of that nagging desire to look after him. Even through their developing work relationship and what at first looked like a mentor/mentee to partners thing, Xero felt a draw to Kiyo that she finally stopped trying to deny after some time. <br/><br/>Naomi - Xero was Naomi's first contact with the Jacks. It took some doing (meaning jumping through freaking hoops) but Xero got the netrunner to help them with a few  jobs, first remotely, then eventually meeting up with them in person.<br/><br/>Evie - Xero can't deny there's something there. She's attracted but she doesn't know why and worse, she feels as if the draw is one-sided, leaving her to hesitate to act or even misread moments between them as friction of a different sort. She has no idea about Evie's feelings where she is concerned but the others are into Evie so Xero is determined to figure out an arrangement that will work for all of them without screwing up their business. </span>
