Description

------------------------------------

 I was awakened by my OCP and saw the words Adora-1: Activated in my HUD; I looked down to see that I had a body once again.  Finally…Techna had completed the final specs on my new body after weeks of being nothing but a head floating in a stasis tube.  She showed me pictures of what was left of me when they first found me amidst the ruins of Seraphim Falls and it truly is a miracle that she was able to save me and pretty much resurrect me…there’s absolutely no way that I should be alive right now!  Lots of my memory along with some of my old personality traits had started to come back in that time, not to mention that I was going stir crazy in there! 

 

Once all of my systems were finished booting up and loading all of my programming and applications within my databanks, I stood to my feet as the last few wires and tubes disconnected themselves from my data ports and jacks, and all of my exoskeletal panels slid back into place.  I was overjoyed to see the glow from my diamond implanted within my chest...I honestly believe that its power is what kept me alive all those years buried underneath that rubble!  I could hear her voice from inside my pod as she excitedly proclaimed just how much of a success Project: Genesis was.  The way that she talked me up you’d think I was the coolest woman ever to live!  The pod doors slid open and a large nitrogen cloud billowed out ahead of me.  I took a couple of steps to the threshold of the pod; my bionic eyes had to quickly adjust to the bright lights waiting for me in the laboratory.  I held on to the door frame as I got my bearings; I was a bit unsteady on my feet.  I mean…I haven’t had a body below my breasts for almost four years so it took me a minute to get reacquainted with walking.  Plus, there was that whole me being ‘dead’ thing and all!  Before my ‘death,’ I had quite a few cybernetic parts and implants…but the new feelings and sensations of experiencing life for the first time with a nearly completely mechanical body were indescribable considering that I was actually of sound mind rather than being under the influence of the strict programming of the Sataria Daemon! 

 

The air smelled so fresh and crisp.  Everything felt different from what I remembered…so much sharper and pure.  I could hear certain sounds and frequencies that I could have never picked up without my bionic audio receptors.  My optical implants scanned and processed everything at blazing speeds, feeding my brain and databanks oodles of info and data.  My thoughts and memory were still fuzzy thanks to the DFA (dissociative fugue amnesia), but at least I didn’t talk like a robot like I did when Jetta reactivated me weeks ago.

 

There was a small audience standing around to watch me emerge from my metal cocoon.  I guess you could say that it was a miracle that I was alive when I should’ve been completely vaporized.  Plus, according to Jetta and the specs on my cutting edge Adora-1 cyborg body, I suppose I’m a pretty big deal.  There was clapping and cheering…several folks actually cried tears of hope and joy.  I would later find out that not everybody was happy about my return; some folks were actually furious that I was resurrected and rebuilt.  Yeah…they hadn’t quite gotten over the whole Sataria thing and they weren’t sold that the Sataria Daemon had been completely purged from my system.  I can’t remember a single thing when I was under her control as a drone and then later when I became her host body, but I can only imagine some of the heinous stuff I did.  It’s quite normal for random folks to run up to me and cuss me out for assimilating or killing their friend or loved one.  I’m so sincerely sorry about everything that I did when I was controlled by Sataria…the more that my memories and my persona is restored, the more that the guilt eats away at me. 

 

Jetta approached me, looking me over to make sure that nothing was out of sorts.

 

“Hey ol’ girl…welcome back to the land of the living!  You look awesome if I do say so myself!  How do you feel?”

 

“I feel fine…a bit strange, but fine for the most part.”

 

“Don’t worry…it’s probably just a little bit of disorientation that you’re experiencing with your new body and all.  You’ll adjust.”

 

“Thank you for reformulating me.  I should be dead.”  

 

“You’re welcome…remember, you saved me from the Hive and being controlled by Sataria once so I had to return the favor.  And I’m not one hundred percent sure how you survived either, but thank God that you are alive!  We needed you back…badly.”

 

“So it seems as if I’ve got my work cut out for me.”

 

“Umm hmm.  But you’re quite equipped to handle whatever the Entity throws your way.  With our resources here at Daedalus and the alliance that we have with Caliber, I wholeheartedly believe that you will give us the edge to finally put an end to The Matriarch and The Entity.”

 

I said just how much I hated being a bodiless head floating in a stasis pod for the last several weeks prior to my reformulation, but if nothing else it gave me lots of time to think.  I was under the Sataria Daemon’s control for six years and only ‘dead’ for three years, but I realize that I missed a lot in those nine years.  Not only was Sataria not eradicated when I threw myself into the Hive reactor code while she still inhabited my body, which caused the chain reaction and leveled the city…but she was able to survive and now is seemingly using my old ‘buddy’ Scarlette Tamzarian as her current host body.  Now it seems as if the Hive and the Entity have become one in the same, and the unholy alliance between the two has been threatening to assimilate all of humankind and to be ruled completely by Scarlette…or should I say Sataria, who goes by ‘The Matriarch’ these days.

 

While many of the masses may be duped by Scarlette’s charismatic leadership, her ‘Agenda’ is the same exact thing as Sataria’s “Primary Objective”…assimilate the entire populous of the earth as cyborg drones to serve the megalomaniac ‘Mechanical Messiah’…Sataria herself.   It seems as if upon inhabiting Scarlette’s body that perhaps Sataria has changed her tactics slightly by using Scarlette’s political power and business clout to advance her plans of world domination; she has already overthrown the corporate Entity that was in place to govern and has turned much of our world into a totalitarian military state.  Good thing that Daedalus exists and that the resistance of freedom fighters known as Caliber has been created to combat again her madness! 

 

Too many lives have been ruined or destroyed by her evil ways…mine included. I still struggle with the mental trauma of when I was painfully and forcerfully assimilated into the Hive.  I have night terrors and memory attacks of having my brain ravaged of its memories and having my humanity stolen from me as I was mutilated and almost completely transfromed into a machine against my will.  Jetta bought me back with this ultra amazing cyborg body to tip the scales in the favor of the people.  With all of the fancy clicks, bells, whistles and cool stuff that I’m capable of doing, she only programmed me with two commands via my prime directives: one, protect the universe from evil and two, eliminate Sataria. 

 

“Well alright then…let’s go crazy!  We’ve got a world to save!”

Update: 11/21/15  Removed most of the wires and gadgets on her face.  It was just too busy and too much going on there.  Plus, why cover up Nikki's beauty?

4/23/15  It's funny how I've made so many changes to Nikki's design over the past few years and the more that time goes on, I realize that I want to make her aesthetic appeal very similar to
what it used to be years ago...a very simple and streamlined metallic/chromed look.  Not to mention, with my recent revamp of Raina's design her details and line segmentations were very similar to each other.  I thought about them having the same uniform look considering that Techna is the one that designed both of their cybernetic bodies, but then I
want for each of them to stand out on their own as well.  So, I removed and/or changed several of her cybernetic details to achieve that streamlined look.

I also darkened her hair, lightened her skin tone, darkened her chrome body, and covered the mechanical right side of
her skull.  PLUS...if you'll zoom in and take a look at the monitor with her vitals on it to the right...you'll see that the mad scientist is at it again!!!  FROM NOW ON...until further notice at least...NIKKI'S FULL NAME IS NICOLE SIMONE RATTICA!!!!!  That's right, I didn't want to lose the the name "Simone Rattica" since I combined her character into Nikki and Raina.  I had given Nikki the last name "Simone", but I love the coupling of Simone and Rattica together.  So...I gave Nikki a double-barreled last name, something rather rare and unique!  Deal with it! :threaten:

-The MGMT



Allow me to reintroduce to you...Nicole 'Nikki' Simone Rattica aka Adora-1!!!! :excited:  After a little over a year of combining, mixing, matching, and being completly confused as to what to do with my OC's, I decided a couple of months ago to step back from things a bit.  I've been trying way too hard to make my OC's likeable for everyone else rather than creating what I wanted to create.  I tried to force Nikki and Sapphira into one character in hopes of being able to focus on one character and stop flip flopping between the two for...plus Sapphira has been the more popular character here on DA.

Well, I first realized that while it's get getting folks that like your ideas/OC's/art/etc...I realized that I wasn't really doing it for myself anymore.  I had been trying to create a universally appealing character/story.  And while I love Sapphira, it just seemed really forced to what I was doing.  I began to miss Nikki. (Don't worry Sapphira fans, I'm not getting rid of her!)  I just wanted to take it back to basics and try to unravel the mess that I made of things.  (It's still a mess, but I'm working on it!)

Welp...with all of that being said, I did combine elements of both Deuce and Simone into Nikki. (Mainly their backstories and personality traits)  Basically, the story (loosely) follows the events of these stories which were inspired from an alternate ending to the Enter the Collective story arc that I did about 5 years ago.

Artistically, I really like how this one came out!  Her face/eyes look kinda weird zoomed out, but click to take a closer look...she's a cutie pie! :love:  Nikki's new look is very fitting for her.   This is actually a remake of this as I used the same ref pic for the pose.  Wow...what a difference 6 years makes! :wow:  To think...I actually thought that putting a lighting effect in the middle of the pic actually made Nikki look shiny! :XD:  I actually was gonna give her afro poof ponytail, but I liked the idea of her having shorter natural hair.  As y'all see, I added a bunch of details to her and kept the shiny, yet darkened the chrome....I did like the black chrome look for Sapphira so I decided to swipe it for Nikki.

So...Adora-1/Nikki is my flagship character (again).  What do you think of her new look?
