Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Aranea Highwind and Chitzkoi

"Are you ready..."

-Aranea Highwind

Aranea Highwind and her canine companion Chitzkoi is the arch-nemesis of Tanya Adams and the main commando of Voshkod's Zenit Division. This commando is planned to be voiced by none other than Kari Wahlgren, using her voice of the same character from Final Fantasy XV.

Overview
* TBA*

Appearance
Her attire for Aranea is basically a modern-day version of her FFXV attire with design and aesthetics of typical Russian Spetsnaz operator.

History
"..."

-...

Before her full conversion into a cyborg, Aranea Highwind was one of the greatest soldiers of the Voshkod, frequently called upon to carry out top-secret assignments that could not be entrusted to anyone else, until she was reduced to what could lightly be called barely alive, burnt, heaps of flesh when she was tasked with assassinating Yuri and failed. Aranea's revival as a cyborg, though unlike Volkov she looks convincingly human thanks to advances in technology (at least when she's in civilian form), has not been without controversy and disapproval of certain Voshkod higher-ups, since during the Great Voshkod-Aquilan War her predecessor Volkov was destroyed after he went berserk after a failed attempt by the Allies to gain his control codes, proving they can be turned against their creators. However, the engineers tasked with restoring Aranea's recovered body have assured them that she will be made completely tamper-proof and her control codes will be encrypted with improved technology and secured in an undisclosed location.

Given the immense power of her cybernetic, and the fear of her turning on them, Aranea has her cybernetic abilities limited (which is known as "Civilian mode" as thats her form when off-duty) whenever she goes into battle, and only when the battle is intense do they remove the limiter, which also has the side effect of revealing her mostly mechanical body as the synthetic skin folds away. And by tweaking Chitzkoi cybernetics, he can project a forcefield to protect himself, reduce the knockout time when he overcharges, and release a subliminal wave that enhances someone's fear. However, due to differing brain chemistries, it takes time to find the proper wavelength for each Chitzkoi.

Cybernatic Adaption (Aranea)
Reduced damage from all weapons, enhanced self-repair, units killed by Aranea explode on death, and reduces ability cooldown

Armor Adaption (Chitzkoi)
Chitzkoi gains a forcefield, enhanced armor, killing an enemy instills fear to nearby enemies, and reduce stun effect when ability duration ends

Trivia

 * Her playstyle is the fusion of Volkovs in Mental Omega and Red Alert 20XX, albeit with more subtle cybernetics implants, more in line with Kusanagi than Adam Smasher, unlike Volkov with Chitzkoi being based off Mental Omega as well
 * She's one of the few Voshkod units voiced by American voice actors, as the rest are voiced by British english voice actors.
