Occupation: Information broker/Mercenary

Special attacks:
1. Lykios' Wrath
An attack taught to her by Abyus. With enough energy saved, Sara can unleash a blaze of fiery blue lunar energy all around her. It has about a 15 yard radius and usually knocks her opponents away. It also leaves her foes mildly disoriented for a few seconds.

2. Fenrir's Tremor
Another attack taught to her by Abyus. Sara gathers up energy and axe kicks the ground as hard as possible, causing a tremor that can trip foes. It has a 25 yard radius. It has no effect on airborne foes, however.

3. Lunar Crash
Another attack taught to her by Abyus. Sara charges all her lunar energy and strength into her leg and unleashes an enormously powerful roundhouse kick. It can be fatal if it's a direct hit. Sara prefers hitting her foe in the face or abdomen.

4. Dawn of Berserker
The technique Sara always uses just before Berserker is released. Usually done when Sara becomes furiously angry and begins to attack ferociously. Her strength and agility double and fiery lunar energy cloaks her hands. She attacks by punching and clawing. Either she transforms into Berserker in the end or she doesn't due to being subdued (attacked back) or the prey being dead. She also intimidates her foes with feral growls and roars.

Powers and Abilities:
1. In short bursts, Sara can run at a swift pace of 120 MPH. She can only run this fast in a straight line or to dodge and evade attacks. Sara is quick enough to dodge bullets and attacks comfortably.
2. Sara has super strength and durability. She can lift 15 times her weight. She can also take some great punishment in battle before she becomes too weak. (This isn't horribly impressive as this is the weight of at least a mid sized motorcycle)
3. Sara has enhanced senses. She can hear, smell and see in the dark better than normal mobians.
4. Sara has basic regeneration. She can heal minor injuries quite quickly and can shrug off most wounds. But her regeneration is affected by her current strength. If she is weak or in a very long battle, her regeneration is slower.
5. Sara has weak lunakinesis. The only way she can utilize this are with her twin pistols or certain attacks. (As she needs a focal point). This ability can only be utilized if she absorbs the moon's energy (she sleeps with the curtains open)

Alternate forms and/or Transformations:
1. When Sara experiences acute anger, terrible anguish or is just simply getting kicked around too much in combat, her Berserker form takes over. She grows to 9 feet tall and essentially becomes a huge, muscular juggernaut. Her fur retains its steel blue color, but her claws on both her arms and legs become hued with red, black and navy blue and her eyes become red. She basically becomes a monster form of herself that vaguely looks like a werewolf. She is extremely strong and durable, able to lift at least 5 tons and can take severe punishment in battle. Also, it wont let up its attacks unless either the quarry is silenced or the sun rises. Thankfully, this form is only accessible at night.
•Berserker is not just limited to a physical transformation, Berserker can also influence Sara mentally and can make her extremely frightening to foes and harm others in a way regular Sara wouldn't. Sara becomes very psychopathic and bloodthirsty, whether or not Berserker transformation is physical or mental. Except when Sara doesn't transform physically, she is extremely articulate in her speech and her movements are smooth and calculated. However she does not gain the ability benefits of Berserker in the mental state. fav.me/d5gvaln

Hobbies and talents:
1. Is very skilled at recon work and gathering information, as her job calls for her to do so.
2. Speaking of info broking, Sara is quite stealthy.
3.Loves to play floor hockey. She's very aggressive though, so not many people want to play with her.
4. Sara is somewhat skilled at knife fighting. While not a master at it, she can still hold her own against foes.
5. Sara is a great gunslinger. She channels lunar energy within her and blasts away with her pistols. So she doesn't need to reload her weapons constantly. She uses these pistols as a focal point to hit opponents with a good ranged attack. The draw back with this, is that her lunar energy "bullets" are not armor or skin piercing, they only hit with a concussive force (it's the equivalent if getting punched)
6. This is a pure mental skill but it's worth noting. Sara is best known for her indomitable and unbreakable will. She will never give up on a person or a goal she has set for herself. In battle, it has assisted her many times and has saved her many times.

Ability type: Speed, and to a lesser extent, Power.

Weaknesses:
1. At first, Sara had poor control over her Berserker form. This would cause her to "space out" (which means shes talking to Berserker) or affect her judgement severely. Sometimes Berserker would even bully her and take full control of her body and force her to lose control. But after several harsh training regimens with Abyus, she has mostly conquered this weakness. She's still prone to "spacing out" sometimes though.
2. Sara can be quite difficult to work with especially if she doesn't know you.
3. As a Lycanthrope, Sara is highly weak to silver. Whether it be a silver bullet to a sword made of silver or even Quicksilver/Mercury. (Think of it as Superman and Kryptonite)
4.Sometimes her enhanced senses can be a burden instead of a benefit. A very loud sound or obnoxious smell can stun her. Also, if it is very bright outside, Sara must protect her eyes (usually she does with purple lensed sunglasses) or she could go blind until her eyes heal.
5. Can be very stubborn.
6. Her long tail makes a perfect handle for her enemies to grab onto. Her tail isn't meant for being a weapon
7. Sara will never show it, but she actually can't really take care of herself well. She is quite dependent on others.
8. Sara is only at half strength at day time.

(In her Berserker form, Sara isn't really articulate in speech so it's quite difficult to communicate with her)

Personality: Sara is best summed up as an antisocial individual. She will very rarely open up and talk to strangers or those she feels she can't trust. In addition, Sara has serious trust issues in result of being bullied very frequently in school, which caused her violently lash out at others to the point that she was not allowed in public school. To be put shortly, Sara doesn't like people much. Sara is actually quite insightful and tends to be able to pick out suspicious individuals, but at times it can be taken to the level of complete distrust. Sara is also quite emotionally unstable. She does try to control her emotions but to little success, especially anger or sadness (this doesn't mean she's a cry baby by any means), but Sara does try to be a happy person. Sara can be quite sarcastic at times, especially when she sees asinine or imbicilic behavior or actions to mock said statement, action or person. At times, her lack of emotional control causes her to lash out violently or respond to others in a very mean manner. But while she can come across as rough, Sara is actually a very sweet person once you gain her friendship and trust. She does try to care about others (albiet cautiously) and is quite soft spoken. Quite possibly her best known quality is her indomitable and unbreakable will. Sara will be very stubborn, hard headed and adamant if she knows or believes she is absolutely right and she will never give up until she accomplishes her goal, which can sometimes get out of hand when she takes it WAY too far. But overall, Sara can come across as rough or uncaring, but she really is a nice person. She just doesn't want too many people to know.

Weapons and items:
1. A 20 inch sword that can fold like a pocket knife. Sara uses this in close combat. fav.me/d5d2urj
2. Uses 2 standard metallic purple pistols. Uses these to hit foes with lunakinetic "bullets". fav.me/d64nrnr
-Totes a simple red digital camera that she uses for information broking. It can also take video.

History: Sara was born on the war-torn continent of Terra Nova, a place with several rich cultures which include not only regular Mobians, but unique races such as Omega Dragons, Lycanthropes and Demons. She is the child of Abyus Pandora, king of the Lycanthropes and her mother Gretchen, a normal hedgehog
King Abyus Pandora met Gretchen Nero after the Lycanthrope's homeland, Avalon had a major forest burned down because of the hateful actions of Queen Tanis Drachenstein, the wife of King Vermithrax of Ulterion, home of the Omega Dragons. For a month the war raged on, but both armies were equally matched, so King Abyus and King Vermithrax decided to settle the score once and for all. A long battle raged as the two kings struggled for dominance. Eventually, it was called to a truce so Vermithrax could prevent famine from afflicting Ulterion, as almost all food supply comes from Avalon.
Abyus contacted a notable biotechnology company in Borderlands and Gretchen Nero came to the rescue to save Avalon's forest. She had discovered a way to make trees grow faster than normal and within a month, Avalon's forest was restored.
To celebrate, Abyus invited Gretchen to a drink and unfortunately...they both had too much to drink...Luckily, Abyus promised he would provide for his bastard child.

And so 9 months later, Abyus and Gretchen's daughter, Saraphina Pandora was born.
However, Abyus was seemingly unhappy about Sara's birth. One night when she was an infant, Abyus went into her room, with the intent of killing her by smashing her face in with his mace. However, Sara awoke and looked at Abyus and simply smiled and cooed in comfort at the sight of him. Abyus then was reminded of the infant daughter he had with his wife, Cimmeria Pandora, who had died from SIDS a few years back. Abyus lowered his weapon as he lost all will to try and kill this innocent little baby to try and erase the mistake he made of cheating on his wife. So then Abyus decided to try his best to be there for her. When she turned 6, Abyus mysteriously stopped visiting altogether and Gretchen was forced to raise Sara all by herself.

Abyus wasn't without troubles at his homeland of Avalon however. He was caught up in a political dispute with the governor of Borderlands. He had sent an agent to try and spy on Abyus, but she was caught and killed by him. Little did Abyus know what this would do to Sara a few years later....

One day, when she was 11 years old, Sara was walking home from school when a massive Omega Dragon hybrid named Flame, attacked her and chased her home. Sara ran to hide inside, only to discover her mother was killed, and Flame had found her home long before. Sara tried to fight off this massive juggernaut, but she didn't stand a chance. Sara, in hysterics asked the mysterious murderer why he wanted to kill her, to which he only replied, "Im just doing what i was paid to do." Just before he could kill her, a red pitbull by the name of Vulcan, fought off the fiend and drove him off. He decided to take Sara into his care and raise her himself. Here, Sara met Tempest and Felicia Black, an elderly couple. The 3 of them raised Sara as if she were their own child. They had also gotten Sara enrolled into an elementary school so she could get an education. Tempest also served as Vulcan's boss, as he owned a Mercenary group.
When she was 12, Vulcan had a mission to infiltrate a Paramun HQ (Paramuns are evolved humans who want to prove themselves the superior species, so their goal is to kill all Mobians). Without permission, Sara snuck along and ended up getting captured by a group of Paramun scientists. They examined her and were shocked because they had learned that she was a hybrid of a lycanthrope, one of the superior species that live on Terra Nova. They decided instead of killing her, they wanted to clone her to strengthen their army with subservient Lycanthropes. So they took no hesitation to throw her in a cloning machine. During the middle of the process, Sara began to feel a horrible rage like no other and began to transform into none other than her Berserker form for the very first time. With blind rage, she completely destroyed the cloning machine and began to kill on site. Sara slaughtered any and all Paramuns who dared to try and fight her or didn't run. It was until Vulcan appeared to her rescue and managed to calm her down and she reverted bavk to her normal form. From that very moment, her life changed forever as she had finally unleashed her Lycanthropic powers.
Unfortunately, this also marked when Sara began to show severe emotional instability and violent lash outs. Sara had just entered middle school and was being bullied very frequently (as she had a weight issue). She attacked and nearly killed or harmed some of her classmates thanks to Berserker's influence. Eventually, the school board made a decision that she had to be home schooled as she was proving to be very dangerous. So they sent a specialized tutor, Riki, a Malaysian Palm Civet. He was very patient, understanding and very calm with Sara, which worked wonders for her.
In addition, Vulcan decided to train her to try and help her learn how to not only defend herself and make use of her newfound strength and speed, he also wanted to teach her restraint and control. Sara took a great liking and told Vulcan she wanted to become a Mercenary, just as he was. Vulcan agreed to this as long as Sara kept up with her home schooling, to which she happily agreed to. Life seemed great. However, a malevolent person wanted Sara on his side the minute he learned about the Paramun Lab Incident....
When Sara was 14, she was met by a Mobian bat named Nightmare. Sara was out with Vulcan, getting a quick bite to eat after a hard day of training. He wanted Sara to fight in an underground fight club because something that belonged to him was supposedly stolen from him and was being held as a grand prize for the winner. Sara, not knowing any better, decided to help as Vulcan taught her to use her power for good.
Sara fought tooth and nail in the competition and won (just barely). Nightmare congratulated her and made her an offer to join him and become a member of his mob. Sara, disliking the word mob, declined. Nightmare however didn't like that answer. He called upon 4 of his henchmen on her. Sara fought valiantly, but was eventually subdued. Nightmare gave her two options: Join us, or die.
Just before she could answer, Vulcan, being helped by 3 other people (namely Valiance, Cloud and Glacia) fought with Nightmare's goons and defeated them. After seeing he wasn't prepared to fight the Mercenaries, Nightmare withdrew. Vulcan and his 3 co workers took Sara back to Tempest's house to give her insight on this bat named Nightmare.
It was here Sara learned Nightmare is the governer of Borderlands, a corrupt one at that, who uses fear to completely control the populous and businesses by blackmailing them for money in exchange for "protection". He also cut the budget for police force to fund what he called "medical advancement". It was also here that Sara learned that Flame, the Omega Dragon hybrid who nearly killed her a few years back worked for him in secret as one of his hit men and evidence was found that Flame was hired to kill her mother. Tempest had also stated it could be understandable as her mother was a notable person in Borderlands. Sara then learned Tempest's entire mission is to make this mob lord step down from office or kill him.
Time passed and Sara eventually grew up to be quite the powerhouse who looked to be a promising future member of the Elite Mercenaries. Verkins, an Omega Dragon joined the Mercenaries when she was 16. At first, they didn't get along, but as time passed, they fell in love, much to Vulcan's dismay, as he didn't trust the Omega Dragon Prince. Nightmare then hatched a plan to eliminate her permanently.
Tempest got several reports of a gang war gone out of control. He was then hired by Borderlands Police Force to silence anyone associated with the gang war. Tempest allowed Sara to come with as a tag a long to get a glimpse of a typical mission. The mission went extremely wrong when Sara lost control over Berserker. Sara not only killed all the gang members, but she also turned on her allies and ferociously attacked and destroyed anything on site, forcing the Mercenaries to try and stop her. Berserker nearly killed Vulcan, Valiance, Baoling, Cloud and Glacia until she was stopped by Verkins, who almost got killed himself. He had to jab his fist through her stomach, subduing Berserker. Sara reverted back to normal and immediately collapsed. She was promptly taken to the hospital and was arrested by Borderland Police to be tried for her rampage, as Borderlands has very strict laws against out of control Berserkers.
The date of the trial had arrived and wasn't going well. The prosecution had overwhelming evidence against Sara and she also happened to destroy government property in her rampage. During the recess, Vulcan and Verkins attempted to reason with not only the judge, but also the security guards. Nightmare appeared to them and revealed that he had completely set up the gang wars to purposefully make Sara lose control over her Berserker form.
The trial resumed and just as the judge was about to order Sara to be put to death, Abyus Pandora, the king of Lycanthropes, teleported into the courtroom. He bluffed and stated Sara had lost control over her Berserker and somehow fled Avalon. Abyus made a bargain with the judge to train Sara rigorously until she shows total dominance over her Berserker. The judge approved, much to Nightmare's chagrin.
Sara learned that Abyus rescued her because she is actually his daughter. For some time, he had sent one of his guards to spy and monitor her. He had witnessed her rampage and notified Abyus of her impending doom if he were to not step in. She learned he had accidentally had sex with her mother, resulting in her conception. He also explained why Flame, the Omega Dragon hybrid attacked her home because Nightmare had traced Abyus coming to and from that specific location. So as revenge for killing his daughter, Nightmare ordered Flame to decimate Sara's home and kill any and all occupants. The training begun and after 2 months with Abyus, she learned to control Berserker and Abyus even taught her some of the Pandora blood-line attacks.
Upon returning to Borderlands, Sara was stronger than ever and became an official member of the Mercenaries. She is a stalwart and is a powerhouse in Tempest's battle against Nightmare.

Relationships:
Verkins: Sara and Verkins share a very close bond (in fact, they're dating). At first they didn't get along, but after many missions together, they developed an unbreakable bond. Their love life is not a fairy tale...they have a love hate relationship. There are times they fight and can't stand each other...but mostly they can't get enough of each other. They get distressed without the other.

Vulcan: A 24 year old Pitbull. Sara has a very special relationship with Vulcan. In fact, he was Sara's first love. Ever since he had saved her, she viewed him as her knight in shining armor. Many times when she was younger she would try to kiss him. Eventually, she took it to the next level and tried to have sex with him. Vulcan told Sara that he could never be with her because he sees her as his daughter. Sara at first was heartbroken, but eventually she found Verkins. Now, Vulcan and Sara couldn't be better friends. They talk to each other about everything and anything and are very comfortable around each other. They care about each other immensely and would protect each other at all costs. With his twin katanas and pistol, Vulcan is deadly in combat.

Glacia: A 22 year old Harp Seal. Sara and her share a close sisterly bond, especially seeing as how they're the sole female members of the Mercenaries. They tend to have 'girl talk' and often talk about their love life or sex life with each other. With her mild cryokinesis, skill with her duo Ninjato and ninja skills, she is a strong combatant.

Riki: A Malaysian Palm Civet who tutored Sara at home when school board ordered her to be home schooled. Sara got along well with him and considers him a great guy.

Valiance- A large 24 year old Philippine eagle. He was the second member to ever join the Mercenaries. At first he was tough and weary on Sara but eventually she proved herself and he can coexist comfortably with her. He uses his Aerokinesis and brass knuckles to crush mobsters.

Cloud: A 19 year old Philippine Eagle who is the cousin of Valiance. He has a strong dislike and a rather skewed judgement of Sara, but he can stand next to her without wanting to kill her. He uses a Bo staff and martial arts to defeat foes.

Baoling: A 20 year old snow leopard who was exiled from his monk palace. He doesn't really speak to Sara much, but he is able to be civil with her. He uses his chi and kusarigama to annihilate foes who dare threaten him.

Flame- A 36 year old Omega Dragon hybrid who is trapped in his Omega Dragon form and went insane because of it and is Sara's most despised enemy. Flame was sent by his boss Nightmare to eliminate Abyus Pandora, as he was last traced at where Sara lived. he didn't find him so he tried to kill her. Sara hates Flame with a burning passion. He is currently deceased thanks to Verkins.

Tempest: A 69 year old wolverine. He is a war veteran from a major war against Paramuns and was captured in an imprisonment camp until he was rescued. He has minor PTSD. Sara respects him immensly as a leader and a person but he tends to treat her like a baby at times. He does this at times because Sara is the youngest member of the Mercenaries.

Nightmare: A 38 year old Bat and Mobian demon. Sara has a very hostile relationship with the current governor of Borderlands because she learned how corrupt and evil he is. Nightmare, however, regards her with a malevolent amusement. He sees her as nothing more than a plaything. With his vast knowledge of magic and skill with his duo rapiers, he is a very strong combatant.

Abyus: King of Avalon who is Sara's father. Because she is a mistake and is a bastard child, it could safely be said that Abyus cares very little about her, although that isn't too far from the truth. Abyus can be quite cold to her but they are able to coexist peacefully. Their relationship can range from a neutral, lukewarm love to "my god I hate your guts" relationship. Overall, Abyus does care for her, but only when it's convenient for him. He states he saved her from execution because he felt it was "unfair for her to be judged when not at full strength"

Cimmeria: Cimmeria is very condescending and domineering toward Sara. As she views half breeds as weak and inferior.

King Abyus Pandora (father)
Queen Cimmeria Pandora (step-mother: she's unaware of their relation)
Prince Metallus Pandora (step-brother)
Gretchen Nero (mother-deceased)
