Who is Ada?
Personality: As far as she is aware she is already dead, either her DSN will kill her, or she will finally upgrade what makes her human and would be as good as dead. This gives her a fairly care free attitude towards her future. However, she has ongoing medical needs and is always chasing the cash to pay for her next treatment or surgery so works hard to ensure she has a money stream, having a near constant anxiety about her financial situation that something in her body might fail at a time when she can’t afford to fix it. She is almost constant neuropathic pain that she cant always hide as well as she wished.

Cybernetics
Artificial eyes (Cutting edge) - A little large for her skull due to being installed with the intent she would grow into them a little more. Otherwise very human looking eyes. Function on the same level as human eyes with excellent natural vision.
Artificial arms (paired, cutting edge, exclusive) - custom made for her they are very well made of a light ferroceramic material. They are very strong have superp movement capabilities. They also have tacticle sensors in the fingertips to allow the sensation of touch.
Neuro-stabiliser (experimental) - installed to try and slow down her neuropathic degeneration but hasnt really worked. Provides minor pain and shock resistance but she is still dying.
History
Origin
Adelaide was born in Iron City, Kansas, to a Mexican businessman and his PA. After a quick divorce from his first wife, her parents married and she had a loving home in the suburbs, albiet the suburbs of a fairly polluted and unpleasant city.
Childhood
At a around five years old she had her first seizure and was diagnosed with epilepsy. This was treated and for a while there was no further problems until at around eight she began to get sporadic pins and needles and shooting pains in her arms that were attributed to growth pains. These got worse as she aged and after further investigation caused by temporary loss of sight at ten she was diagnosed with an incurable condition known as Degenerative Solenoidal Neurometsis. The condition cause her nerves to twist and form coiled structures that would eventually disconnect them from her periphery. At 12 this cause her to lose sight in one of her eyes and most of the sight in the other. Adelaide was given artificial eyes but due to limited availability of good quality children sized cybernetic eyes, the decision was taken to fit her with post pubescent sized eyeballs in the hope that she would grow into them. She was bullied a lot for this but in her city she was hardly the weirdest borg so people got bored quickly and she got used to it. Unfortunately her condition also stunted her growth during puberty so her eyes are still slightly oversized for her skull. But they are her eyes now and she has no urge or excess funds to undergo surgical correction.
Teenage years
Not long after this surgery, when she was thirteen, her parents were tragically taken away from her in a building collapse. Luckily they had insurance and a home that was inherited by their daughter.
At 15 she lost the use of her left hand and was advised that the nerve damage was progressing up her arm and that eventually that would fail too. She made the decision to have both of her arms replaced after doctors alsp found evidence of DSN in her right forearm. It was mercifully cheaper to do both operations together than it would have been seperately. However the young girl saw only the short term of her inheritance figure and opted for cutting edge arms that were likely more than she should have spent.
As her inheritance ran lower and lower she sold her home and continued to live off of that windfall, spending on her health almost as fast as it came in saving little for a rainy day. She worked hard, drifting more and more towards her latina heritage and that community marking herself known as a decent mechanic and someone you could turn to in a pinch. She even began to dabble in criminality, running small time crimes for those in her hood. At 19 years old, the rainy day finally came and the tax man, after sending many letters that had been ignored sent notice of criminal proceedings to be taken against her.
New life on Lun
She didnt have a lot of options, knowing that prison would hasten her path to a painful death from her DSN if untreated she begged people she knew for help. And it came, calling in basically every favour she had, and opening a few new lines of favour debt in the process, she got the funds together to move to the moon and try to begin a new life. As far as the authorities on earth were concerned, she had passed away.
It was at this point that she ran into Daiya Truman, the cute dancing solo. They had their differences but their similarities made then fast friends and when time came for Daiya to begin putting a crew together she was quick to join.
At around twenty two the next failure of her body occured and luckily she had some savings, but was still forced to look towards a cheaper option. A ripper doc suggested a radical treatment that would strengthen her nervous system and hopefully slow down the degradation. He installed scavved components of a Kereznikov Reflex system into her. Normally it would allow someone to be super human, but for her it would just allow her to be human a little longer. The surgery was traumatic and she wanted to die but eventually it was over.
Purpose
Story Purpose: She knows she’s not her for a long time so she wants to have a good time. She runs with gangs, she is a ruthless melee combatant and passable shot. She is also a good mechanic most familiar with simpler and older system. If you have a broken down truck from the side 21st century she’ll get it running again, but dont expect her to be rewiring your state of the art space craft.
