Kalran: Tales of the four nations/Subject TA714A (Talia)

"I will break our enemies master!"

Subject TA411A, or Talia by her friends, is the hero unit of the Reclaimers. Planned to be voiced by Erica Mendez

Tactical Analysis

 * I am your sword: TA411A, or Talia as called by everyone that isn't a trueborn, is the deadliest hero of the factions. She is more than a match for any other unit in the game, and will win a fight one-on-one with almost anything, her wire controlled darts capable of hitting everything hard and fast at a long range while being able to rapidly heal any damage. That isn't to say she'll be very happy about it afterward, however
 * Forced onto a pedestal: Due to the trueborn also purposely withholding almost any information of her from the rank and file clones, and making sure she is isolated from them, to purposely lead them to believe that the gods are truly on their side, inspiring them to accomplish daring feats and fight in situations where they would have run and would gladly lay their lives for her, much to her horror
 * The rabid hound: As TA411A takes damage and witness clones fall before her eyes, the "dog" side of her personality starts to forcibly take over, and a sort of berserker rage overtakes her. When damaged, she becomes even more deadly, and an even worse threat to the enemy
 * But a sword is just a tool: TA411A is very expensive, to the point of being a strategy unto herself, especially since she's rather frail for the power she brings, with most weaponry killing her if she's alone, thus she needs to be surrounded by clones to ensure her survival and avoid artillery. There can only be one of her, and at best supremely inferior clones can be made under Bahlgram, and to build her requires a high tech tier, a unique production building, and lots of cash. She may be vicious, but you will pay dearly for what you get

History
Not all clones are created equal, since they are human despite the trueborns adamant refusal to acknowledge it, and some are created better then most. One such was clone TA411A.

Upon her decantation, which they had noted her first body was perfect in everyway, TA411A, or Talia as the other clones began to call her, gone above and beyond in the tests and proved herself to be the best clone ever made. So great in fact that the Reclaimers began reproducing more clones of TA411A.

But, much to their anger, none of the clones of TA411A could match up or surpass TA411A. No matter what they did, whether if it was perfectly manipulation the conditions that created the originals prowess to wasting resources on modification, none of the clones reached the same height, with prevailing theories being that there was some sort of impurity in TA411A's cloning vat that made her. Never acknowledging that the clones are people, not machines.

Despite this setback they still trained TA411A, now as a personal soldier for the Reclaimers, until she was fit for battle. And one she was on the battlefield she blew expectations.

In battle she showed her skills and bravery by leading and rallying other clones around her. Such as it was that the clones now took to battle with suicidal confidence and won.

Soon the trueborn began to experiment on. At first it was simple and she accepted, improved stamina, hardened skin and bones, enhanced nightvision, and the likes. But soon the trueborn had an idea, and after considering the cost, they choose to use the phoenix implant.

To TA411A it was to further hone her senses and allow her to tap into the Reclaimers advance network, allowing faster communications between her and the trueborn, and to help better coordinate with the forces on the field. But for the trueborn it had a more insidious purpose.

The true function of the implant is to control her, fearing that one day she will malfunction and rebel, like many clones before, and to also transfer her mind in the event she dies. Because until they can reliable replicate her strengths they need her skills. And during this time TA411A followed the trueborn, or masters as she and other clones call them, with the same love, admiration, and loyalty like many other unfortunate clones. That was until a fateful battle.

In one of these battle she was unfortunately caught in an artillery strike but survived. If it was any other clones she would have been send to the grinder, but the trueborn deemed her abilities too valuable to discard, and began to reconstruct her body.

It was actually easy to repair her body back to its original state, but the trueborn want to make her the perfect weapon. Thus metal plates were crudely grafted to her skin, any "unnecessary" organs were ripped out and replace with machinery, and upon her spine was grafted a special interface that allowed her to mentally control high impact explosive darts. All of this was done without any anaesthetic or comfort in mind, meaning that after her reconstruction even moving a finger will cause an unbearable amount of pain, though her body is being constantly pumped with painkillers and regenerative tonics numbs it somewhat.

(rest of backstory will be inserted here at some point)

Now whenever her suit systems detects a fatal attack coming towards her it will immediately make a copy of her mind and forcibly shunt said copy out of her body and back to the Reclaimers mainframe. After the battle if her body miraculously survived, and not considered too damaged, her cloned conscious will merge with the original. if her original bodies dies on the other hand, or the trueborn considered it too expensive to repair the body, the trueborn first salvage what they can of her old body and will take a clone to be her new host, preferably one that matches her original body since it has a higher chance of accepting her mind.

And in order to maintain the clones morale by putting her as a shining immortal. All clones that had witness her death were, save for those they deemed as a suitable host, were swiftly killed, so that they may not talk about her death. The trueborn justifying this flagrant abuse of murder seeing a clone as nothing but a statistic, and something that can easily be replaced.

The process of transferring TA411A mind is considered a rather painful experience, for her and her unfortunate host. As the mainframe AI that contain T411A mind will begin to purge the original mind of the body, this incredibly traumatic process leads to the perishing of most of bodies original personality, the clone often screaming in pain and crying as their mind is being forcibly ripped apart as TA411A can only watch, until all that's left is an empty husk of a body. In which her the AI will now forcibly put her mind into it and reconfigure the body to match her physique, a long process where the body is literally broken to pieces to be remolded. After which the trueborn will monitor her for a few minute to make sure the body accepts her mind.

Once its shown that her body and mind are in sync they will then reinstall the implants she had into her new body, if possible they would reuse the old parts from her previous body, a long and painful process like before, since they don't want to waste it on something that they presume can't feel pain. And once done, and making sure her implants are working she is released back to the frontlines.

This painful cycle of death and rebirth, having her forced to watch as clones, with their own dreams, being killed before her eyes in battle and in a cruel way so that she can take over their body, with fragments of her host memories integrating into her own mind, the constant reinstalling of her implants, and the knowledge that her death caused the death of more clones, those whom she had bonded in their campaigns or had learnt of their dreams and passion through the implant, means the TA411A of the current time is noticeably different from the original. Her mind now split in two.

The "god" whom the trueborn hates. Her original mind who realized how uncaring the trueborn are and desiring either death, killing the trueborn, or both, and always tries to refuse orders when she takes control, though her implants force her to follow. Who swings between depression and rage. Hoping that one day she and her fellow clones can be free.

And the "dog" whom the trueborn prefers. The part of her fragmented mind that developed a codependency for the trueborn, and still lovingly calls them master, and follows orders like a dog, a dog that is fine with being degraded, abused, and berated by their masters so long as they give them attention.
