All right, I am done... As much as I can be. Note that this is not the final version of my character sheet and I will be glad to make any changes to it if it turns out that I made my character too powerful. But I hope that I managed to strike a nice balance with her without violating any rules or stepping on any toes.
EDIT: The application is final, but I am still very much willing to tone the character down if necessary.
Name: Eunike
Rank: Spaceman
Type: Valkyrie
Bydo Coefficient: 4.04
Appearance: As an individual who has albinism, Eunike has white hair, white skin and clear blue eyes. She stands at five feet nine inches tall and usually wears simple, white clothes when not in combat. On more formal occasions or within her room, she can be seen wearing an exquisitely made, white dress complete with lace, embroidery, ruffles and a rather large skirt.
Personality: A very peculiar person, Eunike is always polite and very refined in her manners. She is an absolute joy to talk with, not to mention that she always has a good word for whoever she is speaking to. However, this exterior hides a delusional soul filled with brutality, something which no treatment has been able to remedy. But regardless of whatever she may believe or however she acts, Eunike has repeatedly proven that she is not a danger to hear team-mates, in fact, she is a very valuable asset on the battlefield.
History: The concept of Eunike was born a few years before the time of Valkyries came. For a long time, it has been theorised that electromagnetic forces would make an excellent weapon against the biomechanical forces of the Bydo. Unfortunately, calculations showed that the effects of such fields were not negligible on the human body either, so in desperation, humanity turned to genetic engineering. The plan was to create a soldier who could carry a potent electromagnetic weapon into battle and set it off without being affected by it.
But something went wrong in the process. Whether it was the surrogate mother chosen to carry the child to term or a mistake of the scientists working on the project, the baby that was born had all the qualities that they needed, except that she was an albino. Yet the ISDF was desperate for any measure that it could find against their horrifying, biomechanical opponents, so they continued funding the project in the hopes that something good would come of it. As for the child, she was allowed to live as a proof-of-concept prototype and from her birth, she was exposed to high-energy electromagnetic waves.
She was also given the appropriate education and training with the weapons that the scientists designed and while the project was making steady progress, problems started rearing their ugly heads. The weapon design was deemed to impractical for a human soldier to carry without support, not to mention all the other little faults. But it was then that the breakthrough of Valkyries came and suddenly, each problem had a solution: Eunike had to be augmented with robotic parts.
With that realisation, the project advanced leaps and bounds until Eunike was turned into the first prototype… Just in time for a Bydo ship to hit the laboratory. Panicked, the researchers saved whatever notes they could including their first prototype, then dumped it into an escape pod before deleting all relevant data in their system so that the biomechanical monsters could not get a hold of it. Fortunately, the Bydo did not notice the escape pod and such, the research data was saved along with Eunike, even if it was many days before an ISDF ship finally picked her up.
Despite being a cyborg, Eunike barely survived the trip and she had to be treated for several weeks to recover from the mental scars the assault left on her, during which time the ISDF chose to review the researcher’s data. While the data was damaged and incomplete, it was deemed that the new Valkyrie would be a worthy addition to the forces, so after she had recovered, she was immediately assigned onto a relatively low-key mission. Her only task was to help the human forces in eliminating the handful of Bydo stationed at an abandoned outpost, so High Command thought that it would go well.
But it turned into a disaster on both sides. Now only known as the Cyrema Massacre, Eunike completely obliterated the Bydo as they had never encountered a type like her before, but at the same time, she traumatised the ISDF forces so much that several of them required psychological treatment afterwards. In turn, she had to go through a second round of examinations, which uncovered her issues. Despite her delusion and her notably brutal combat style, however, she was as valuable as any other Valkyrie and had passed nearly every mental check.
As such, High Command made the decision to assign her to the Thorn Wings Squad, an ISDF fighting unit that had gained notoriety for its ability to stand even the greatest of massacres. Under their command, Eunike was crucial to many victories of the military campaign, proving herself a valuable, trustworthy asset many times over. But High Command was still very cautious of her, so she was not promoted or given honorary titles and when the war was over, she was immediately assigned to a squad of other Valkyries.
However, she had problems with fitting in there, so she was recently reassigned to the cruiser
Astrea in an effort to guarantee her mental stability.
Fighting Style: Eunike prefers to use overwhelming force to take out her enemies before they become a threat to her or her team-mates. Should such a tactic not be possible, she will gladly follow a pre-determined plan or make up her own on the fly, in which case she has a penchant for using elements of psychological warfare.
Equipment:
Achilles System: An extremely powerful, spherical barrier that protects everything around Eunike in a two-metre radius, this system can stop most attacks, but it is also her only method of defence. Anything that gets through this field is bound to cause serious damage to her, not to mention that its electromagnetic nature gives her a huge radar signature. A notable feature of the system is that the barrier’s shape can be altered as long as its surface area stays constant and it remains two metres away from Eunike. It should also be noted that the barrier works both ways, meaning that it blocks attacks fired from the inside.
Audio-Optical Correction and Protection Device: A suite of different augmentations consisting of cybernetic eyes, a hearing guard and a layer of protection from sunlight, this device's primary function is to compensate for Eunike's condition. Its secondary effects are also useful on the battlefield, however, as it protects her from going blind and it can be commanded to severely dampen sounds. Not only does this function protect Eunike's ears from excessive damage, it also enables her to mask the sounds she creates for a limited time.
Weapons:
Titan Crusher: A frightening extension of the Achilles System’s functionality, this weapon works by dramatically increasing the strength of the system’s electromagnetic field, then matching its composition to the user’s mental picture. When used correctly, this weapon can tear even the strongest of alloys into shreds or forcefully remove parts of the target’s anatomy, but it is limited by its short range of six metres. To further complicate matters, Eunike’s electromagnetic shield stops working for as long as she uses this weapon, so it requires precise timing on her part.
6x Hydra Drones: These small drones are an ever-present companion of Eunike. Despite their size, they are tougher than they look, not to mention that they sport a rather powerful, long-ranged laser cannon on their front. They are also capable of providing limited support, such as helping others take care of their wounds, fetching small supplies or distracting enemies. Their maximum operational range is about eighty metres and their mobility is nothing short of first-rate.
EX Abilities:
Queen of Absolutes: It is not exactly understood how this ability works, but Eunike is capable of drastically lowering or raising temperature in an area that is about four metres in radius at most. Used well, this is a very powerful tool in her arsenal, especially given her precise range of control over it, but it has a big flaw: The larger the affected area is, the more time it takes for Eunike to set it up and she has to drop her defences while she does that. Furthermore, it can be a big drain on her reserves, especially at large scales.

Etc.:
- She believes that she bears the title of 'Zero Kelvin Queen', though she does not demand to be treated as royalty and she obeys orders.
- Her most precious possession is a snow globe that she is very protective of.
- Her electromagnetic fields are strong enough that prolonged exposure to them can cause slowly intensifying headaches and brief sickness. She is completely immune to this effect, however.
- The room she resides in is almost always a few degrees Celsius below room temperature because of her request.
