Ira

Haruka Kimura, better known as Ira, is a player of Evoked Legends Online.

Appearance
Ira wears a skin-tight bodysuit in a dark grey color, which has one prominent zipper going down the center. Over this, she wears a dark red short jacket with a prominent collar; black fingerless gloves (her bodysuit doesn't cover her hands) which connect to a set of armored gauntlets on her forearms; armored, knee-high boots in black; a midnight blue strap slung over her right shoulder to hold her rifle; ammo pouches on her left thigh; a thigh-holster for her BRSB-17 Compact; and a belt that holds several utilities. Her dark brown hair is shoulder-length when left alone, but she chooses to keep her hair in a high ponytail when operating on missions. Another important part of her wardrobe is the specialized set of goggles on her forehead; they assist her in her sniper occupation, and feature red lenses on a dark grey body with a snake-like theme.

Personality
Ira can be easily described as a temperamental girl. She is easily angered over the little things, but she knows when to wait and be patient. Despite this short-tempered exterior, Ira can show a much more caring and relaxed persona when around her friends. Boys are a very sensitive topic for her, and she often gets nervous and/or flustered around the topic; when she's near an actual boy, she gets very nervous and extra temperamental.

Her in-game personality differs drastically. Somehow, she manages to shift into a calm, relaxed sniper who has enough patience to do an excellent job every contract she's hired on. Aside from that, Ira's calm and relaxed persona shows easier this way, getting along very well with her teammates. She still finds boys a little unnerving, but not to the point of significantly affecting her sniping.

Background
Haruka was raised as a normal girl, nothing too special. She took up an interest in both video games and firearms at an early age, and performed extensive research on hunting rifles and such whenever she had the chance. Her father noticed this, and would take her to go hunting with him every now and then. As she reached high school, Haruka grew to be a short-tempered, but caring girl. She made plenty of friends, all of them taking interests in video games and anime. On her 14th birthday, Haruka's parents gave her Evoked Legends Online and the necessary equipment to play, which she happily accepted. Upon joining, she chose the Gorgon race for the enhanced vision and her desire to become a sniper. It's been a year, and she's well-known for her sniping skills; a strange woman calling herself Phoenix asked her to join a group of she was putting together. Ira accepted, and was placed as the sniper of the Sin Squadron.

Abilities
As a sniper, Ira must have the patience to wait for days for a target to appear. Her Custom BRSB-17 Arcane Energy Sniper Rifle, nicknamed Medusa, is optimized for long-range, one-shot kills. The scope on her Medusa rifle is synchronized to Ira's custom goggles, allowing for incredible accuracy from any distance. Her Rifle is actually capable of changing between a semi-auto and bolt-action mechanism, allowing her to fire as fast as she can pull the trigger with the former option; the latter option ensures one-hit kills. Medusa is optimized for lead-coated .50 cal rounds, though Ira has been known to use anti-demon and anti-angel rounds should the need arise; when in semi-auto format, Medusa uses 5.56×45mm NATO rounds, also made of lead. Should her targets somehow survive being shot by a .50 cal round with enough force to destroy a limb, the lead coating will ensure death.

Her Gorgon abilities grant her special vision, illusions, and status effects. Ira has trained her vision to grant her enhanced sight, but she wears goggles to assist her sight anyway; the goggles are for assistance in aiming. While not particularly versed in illusions, Ira is able to generate decent illusions of still images and pictures, but that's about it; it works fairly well for her because she uses her illusions as distractions, not surprisingly. Status effects aren't Ira's strong suit, and she lacks skill in that department. Regardless of that, her sniping skills are renowned; the lead-coated bullets help her reputation as a sniper.
