Getting an idea out of my head. Spontaneous new character and maybe a side story.
Kuo is her name. No last name... yet. Traveling medic that removes chips from Hybrids, Humans, and Aliens where ever she goes. Also can remove ports and other implants with minimal scarring. And hates the heat A LOT as she can easily overheat. Blames her psionics. Will not catch her with one of those fur collars.
Was rescued from a facility by a joint Skirmisher clan mission and was thankful for the rescue once she was in a better headspace, but didn’t join them. Or any other clan she’s met on her walk about. Doesn’t feel like she’d fit in with them as she has faint memories, not false implanted ones, that she was once human. Doesn’t feel like she has a place amongst the mostly clone filled clans. But she does accept things they give to her as thanks for her medical assistance.
And those memories haunt her. Just can tell she worked for ADVENT for some point until she was hybridize for who’s knows what and knows she’s done some terrible things. Just doesn’t know if it was willing or not. Terrifies her the most, especially one memory she can only assume she was close to the person was so angry she went to work for ADVENT. Can tell things did not end on the best of terms. So she’s a very broken woman and her near monotone voice tends to show it.
She’s traveled alone for years until one Skirmisher decided to stick with her despite her wishes. He’s grown onto her over the years and she admits she enjoys his company. And then the survival skills he knows. He’s like a walking survival book as he’s always finding edible food for them and plants for medical use.
And then she accidentally ends up getting some Reaper “companions” at gunpoint after saving them and one of their critically injured people. Half, they just lost their medic and almost lost their beginner replacement she just saved and could really use someone that knows their stuff in this dangerous region. And then half, “you’re gonna need protection in these parts. Not all are as tolerant as us to you hybrids.” There’s a lot of tension in the group, some not agreeing with the leader’s choice, but things eventually get better... after some revelations and heartache.
