Echo is an android spy and assassin often hired by Virtuoso. She specializes in stealth infiltration and eliminating her targets discretely. Echo's signature skill is being able to reconfigure her own appearance on the spot, being capable of changing her appearance in not just facial structure but also age, gender and even other humanoid species. Her appearance not only changes, but she also copies short term memories from on the spot scans of another person.

Appearance

Echo's chosen default appearance is a bald, androgynous robotic woman with bright, neon color palettes. However, this is not what she originally looked like. Having reconfigured her body so many times to suit herself for specific missions, she no longer remembers what she originally looked like before she shapeshifted for the first time.

Personality

Echo is cold and sociopathic, being absolutely dedicated to her mission. She can feign emotional attachment towards others, as during her spying and assassination routines, she would fake entire relationships with others for months and even years. One of Echo's secret desires is to find a permanent appearance and never shapeshift again although given her line of work, she knows this will likely never be possible.

History

Echo is thought to be at least 150 years old, having witnessed the Torus Uprising firsthand and being a loyal supporter of Albin Virtuoso and his company's legacy. Despite being long lived, in order for her to remain mentally proficient over her lifespan, she has often deliberately purged many memories which she considers irrelevant - including that of her own family and her own origins. Rumor has it that she stores these purged memories on a private terminal, but naturally, she denies the existence of such a device as it would potentially make her vulnerable.

Throughout her life, she has shapeshifted and taken on multiple identities, all in support of Virtuoso. She was so successful at adopting these other identities that rumors even circulated that Echo as an individual never existed, but rather, it was a title for a series of spies and contract killers that worked for Virtuoso.

Skills and Abilities

Echo is skilled spy and assassin. She knows people very well, forming entire relationships with people to get close to them for information or to kill them. She shapeshifts through the use of nanobots where she then remodulates her voice to imitate a target. If a target's memories are unprotected by a firewall, she can also copy them as well to more accurately impersonate them. And as an android, if her body gets destroyed, she can reupload her consciousness into a new body, although readapting her unique shapeshifting abilities takes time.

As a spy, Echo carries a large number of tools which she can use to neutralize her targets. Her most efficient method is her deadly touch. With a single touch with the hand (and sometimes a kiss if she wants to be performative), she can send either a deadly neurotoxin for human targets or brain destroying malware against androids. The speed of the poison's effects depends on her goals which range from instant death to something that lasts for days or even weeks before delivering its payload.

Echo's reputation is also notorious. If people are aware that she is in the area, they can act irrationally and start to accuse others of being Echo in disguise. Naturally, she uses this to her advantage to cause confusion to make it easier to go after her real targets.
