Blair Astor. Female. Teens-Early 20s (19 is default). Monegasque.
5'7"-5'9" tall (depending on age), [Unknown, gains some muscle mass with age but remains lightweight]. Human.
Born into immense privilege, Blair is a descendant to a long political and business dynasty that ensures her a comfortable life and for her potential descendants. The Astors are among the wealthiest humans in all of Terran space, being the leaders of planet and asteroid mining and many different industries. Her parents got most of the public spotlight, leaving Blair to remain relatively unknown, thus allowing her to pursue whatever she wanted but use the power behind her family's name to get herself out of trouble whenever it finds her.
A deeply troubled girl underneath her poise, Blair seemed to have a fascination for adrenaline pumping activities. She enjoyed hunting from a young age, moving up until she was hunting big game in her teens. She also enjoyed "tomboyish" activities from outdoor adventuring, archery, fencing, and shooting firearms. Eventually, when her encounter with the supernatural changed the trajectory of her life, Blair decided to pick on a new type of game: demons. Traumatized by her encounter with demonic forces from a summoning ritual gone wrong, she chose to face her fear of them head on, turning her former hunters into her prey. Donning some advanced technology from her family's technology division, Blair starts her one-woman quest to seek out demonic activity for a challenging hunt.

PERSONALITY:
On the surface, she fits the mold of what's expected of a rich girl but she stands out from the rest due to her feeling different from her peers. She's a calm and quiet individual, with a mature grace and advanced intellect for someone in her teens. She's polite to everyone but can be especially cold to others she dislike, which is only further solidified by her stoic expression being her default. This also makes her mysterious as she reveals that she doesn't bother befriending people she isn't interested in. She can be standoffish and blunt, making her appear prideful and conceited to people who don't know her very well, especially those who assume class-based snobbery on her side. Distant and focusing solely on her interests, Blair knows what she likes and pursues perfection in each of her hobbies. Even with her aloof exterior though, she has outbursts of emotion when upset or frustrated.
Being tied to a famous family's name is the reason of her individualism, wanting to be her own person and have her own legacy. Blair is assertive, and perhaps a bit spoiled as well, as she gets to decide what she likes to do instead of having her parents force her to pursue something to fit in. Still, she's a teenager who's awakening to her rebellious side. Blair takes advantage of her family's untouchable status to do things she's too young for, such as driving and drinking alcohol before she was 18 and owning a yacht that she uses to sail around the globe, then act as a mobile base of operations for the demon huntress and her allies. Eventually, she realizes and later admits that she enjoys the thrill of combat and possesses the heart of a hunter, yet killing innocent humans is too much for her to bear, unable to do it at first but found it frighteningly easy when she took her first life. She likes a challenging chase and discovering places that are unexplored. But there's hints of a subtle sadistic side to Blair, for when demons became her new quarry she notices how much she enjoys killing them.
Blair feels she was born in the wrong generation. Her interests are often associated with older people, from being interested in politics, business, history, classical music and dances to golf and archery. She's an avid reader, appreciating many classical works and contemporary humanities. This doesn't mean that she can't enjoy what's current though, enjoying going out to the movies, using social media, and getting strung along by her friends in their antics when she mellows out eventually. She has an interest in superheroes, thanks to being inspired by the Invictors who work under her father's organization and the Hoplon androids of the government. She's a fan of current superhero comics and movies, to which she attended the premiere showings of most of them. She takes pride of her family's wealth to the point of showing some of that stereotypical snobbery from members of the "old rich", with the way she interacts with self-made millionaires with passive-aggressive contempt. She claims people like that are arrogant in thinking they're part of the club.
Her crush for older celebrities is a glimpse of how she feels trapped in a young woman's body, claiming she can't wait to be older so she can be with them. Her near-obsession and uncharacteristic suggestive banter with older men is something a lot of them have found disconcerting, but Blair's disregard of social norms and own selfishness made her unable to see the effects of her actions. Plus, she enjoys seeing a normally confident and powerful men feel flustered, showing a bit of an emotionally sadistic streak. She later admits that her type are powerful and muscular men that react adorably when flustered. She expressed interest in older women as well, and generally finds people of her age to be dull and petty (that said, she still has friends of her age). She eventually grows out of this, becoming more mature and wiser and more worthy to take on the role of a hero.
Also contrary to the stereotypes, Blair has no issues in mingling with less fortunate people. She is polite and even kind to workers, giving big tips and leaving good words for them, to even helping them find jobs within her family's company to turn their lives around. Blair doesn't openly show herself donating to charity or publicly announce her funding of programs that will help people, leaving anonymous gifts instead as inspired by her mentor and her sister. Still, she isn't above in showing her power such as one time she got back on a rude hotel manager by buying the hotel just to demote them to maintenance personnel herself.

ABILITIES:
Blair has no superhuman abilities (outside of her armor) and relies on her natural wit, cunning, and a lot of expensive technology. She is a highly skilled archer who can perform trick shots with lethal efficiency and while in motion, whether running or performing acrobatic movements, able to fire 10 arrows in 4.9 seconds (or 3 arrows in 1.5 seconds) and even hit targets behind obstacles by curving the arrow's flight path. She can shoot multiple arrows at once, intercept arrows with her own and even grab arrows mid-flight and fire it back. She is a good shot with a folding, magazine-fed recurve bow, accurate enough to shoot an arrow through a keyhole. It has wing flaps for stabilization and helps with aiming and keeping her bowhand outstretched with minimal stress. The bow has a low draw weight for a power armor enhanced wielder, but each projectile's power is enhanced by an electromagnetic catapult built on the arrow rest to give the arrow a significant boost in kinetic energy, enough to stop a speeding armored car cold. Arrows can switch types as well; from regular arrows, electro/shock, thermite/heat, and fragmentation/explosive arrows. Her training is unorthodox and is more geared towards fighting demonic monsters than against tactical humans at first. But she eventually improved enough to take on other master archers, trained soldiers, and superhumans and come out on top. She also isn't opposed to using firearms, and prefers a compact submachine gun as a sidearm.
Despite initially being heavily outclassed by her superhuman allies, Blair has no issues with taking the easier jobs that's within her skills in the meantime, while she continues on working to become stronger and keep up with her friends. A gymnast since childhood, Blair is quite athletic and uses moves from the sport as a base for her overall fighting style and way of moving around obstacles. She is also good at her own unique form of hand-to-hand combat, which is quite acrobatic and reminiscent of her gymnastics background with some striking from savate and aerial wrestling moves from lucha libre. As a child, she's very good at hide and seek, that even her family's guards (many of whom are former military) had a tough time finding her. This small talent became useful and better with time and practice, as she became quite an expert in stealth and infiltration with proper training.
Her physical abilities are later enhanced by acquiring her own airtight nanosuit called a Warskin (a power armor; but she got a prototype version that unenhanced users like her can safely wield, using artificial muscles and less armor plating), which also acts as protection against her demonic enemies. This multiplies her strength with the use of an artificial muscle layer to levels that can let her throw cars and topple buses with a tackle. The suit has a recharging energy shield and thrusters to enhance her speed and assist her in long and high jumps, and a cloaking system that turns her invisible and masks her sounds. The suit can harden to better absorb impacts from enemy attacks even from railgun rounds, and can seal her wounds if she gets injured. Blair adds a retractable arm mounted blade for melee combat.
She has an AI assistant, Martin (
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
scutarius), with a personality of a dry-witted butler. Martin gives her tactical advice, tracks her position, and operates a mobile service module that follows Blair around in the field hovering nearby. The module can provide Blair extra ammunition, drones for reconnaissance and combat support like a quick means of escape or aerial bombardment. Martin also acts as the singular support staff for Blair's group, allowing her to not have to rely on hired help to fuel her secret vigilante activities. Martin can fabricate materials for Blair like manufacturing her ammunition, weapons, assisting in forensic lab work, monitoring her training progress, maintaining her equipment, etc.She owns a superyacht that generates it's own fuel, essentially making it able to sail all over the globe without having to refuel - only stopping for maintenance and resupply or repairs if needed. This acts as Blair's mobile base of operations, with some rooms refitted to house an armory and gym. The ship can be entirely controlled by Martin, allowing Blair to sail without any support staff.
