Fighting style: Xaviera is as much a performer as she is a fighter. Victory in the arena is one avenue to wealth and privilege, but as the owner of her own multimedia franchise, with herself marketed as the primary product, she can accrue greater profits by generating a rapport with her audience. Therefore her style of combat incorporates flourishes designed solely to titillate or create suspense, and she will often attempt impressive and technically demanding maneuvers that aren’t strictly necessary. If the situation calls for it, she will throw a match in order to be ravished and thereby reap the rewards of an excited crowd.
Motivation for fighting: Profit and pleasure. As one of the fortunate minority of free human women living among alien society she is fascinated with the strange technology and cultures she finds herself exposed to. Money and fame allow her to pursue her exotic hobbies at her discretion.

Special Attributes: As a cybernetic organism her bodily functions are more regular than those of a purely organic animal, as well as being subject to her conscious control. However, her physical enhancements are modest. They are greatly overshadowed by her neural enhancements, which allow her to be perpetually connected to the variety of communication networks available in the Vanejin sector of space.

Capabilities: Her mind is very fluid and creative, able to handle multiple complex thought processes at once. This makes her adept at utilizing technology to her advantage. Additionally, she is able to formulate battle plans and adjust her strategies in the midst of combat, which is a large component of her prowess in the arena. As one of the most popular gladiatrixes she commands the loyalties of a dedicated cohort of fans, who act as an operational support team, researching her opponents and uploading advice, combat analysis, and encouragement directly to her neural network.
Weaknesses: Unusually reliant on the goodwill of the audience. If her performance becomes lackluster or uninspired she may lose crucial combat data or become distraught due to potential loss of profits. Her games of cat and mouse give opponents multiple opportunities to make a comeback.

Background: Born in Somersville, only a short distance from Cambridge, Xaviera decided by the age of eleven that she would attend MIT University. She grew up surrounded by siblings, predominantly brothers, whose accomplishments motivated her to pursue technological learning as a way of distinguishing herself, a mindset that her parents encouraged. Having learned to type before she had fully mastered writing by hand, computers fascinated her as no other device did.

In school Xaviera focused intently on mathematics and the arts, dedicating her free time to sketching, watercolor painting, writing on her laptop, and acting. Despite her ready mind Xaviera’s grades were a continuous source of disappointment to her parents, but the girl’s interests were too idiosyncratic for her to embrace the canned tutelage of the schools. Once a private tutor was hired (at woeful expense) for Xaviera her abilities became apparent, and she absorbed instruction at a rate that exhausted her tutor.

At the age of fifteen Xaviera discovered social networking sites while she wandered the net. In hours she had acquired a Facebook page, a Twitter account, a DeviantArt account, as well as numerous email addresses and a fully functioning blog. Immersed in social consciousness after years inside her own head Xaviera’s exuberance for expressing herself led to her uploading most of her artworks and literature. She updated her blog multiple times a day. Within a year her online following was sufficient that she was approached by a small company that specialized in selling generic items branded with icons of popular culture. Business was lucrative, and Xaviera Sophia was an established brand.

Xaviera’s popularity online translated into attention from Shokushu, which led to the inevitable invitation. Her attendance at the school came as a blow to her following, but Shokushu’s PR department handily manipulated the net to dissolve lingering attention, and Xaviera became yesterday’s news, even while becoming the new sensation among the campus’s resident alien population. Studying programming and informational systems between attacks she managed to maintain a B average, which was unusual for a student subject to nearly daily ravaging. Securing a position as a prefect came as an enormous help in this regard.

Graduation preceded slavery for the young woman, who had been purchased by a creature who held a scientific interest in human intelligence. The creature vivisected her brain and connected her consciousness to a virtual realm where it ran her through a gamut of intellectual puzzles and tests. In the meantime, her body was connected to life support and utilized as a breeding pit to fund the creature’s experiments. Unfortunately, the violation of Xaviera’s body degraded the quality of the creature’s tests, and provided insufficient capital for continuation. As a way to recoup its losses Xaviera’s owner enrolled her as a Gladiatrix in the Shokushu Arena.

Now that Xaviera was in conscious control of her faculties she familiarized herself with the Arena environs. Once she understood her situation she convinced her owner to invest the funds from her first victory into neural augmentations which she used to establish her own node through which she could link to the Arena’s various networks. Promised increased profitability Xaviera’s owner agreed to allow her ownership of her own marketing concern, and she commenced advertising via her node, gleaning fan donations and pandering to the interests of the Arena’s audience. Years of experience selling herself as a commodity via social networks converted into unexpectedly massive profits, enough for Xaviera to secure her own freedom and expand the scope of her new business. She embedded nanites into her skin that could change pigmentation according to instructions from her network node, selling the surface of her body by the square millimeter as space for advertising. Customers could purchase real time biometric data from her battles in the arena and watch simulated recreations, or alter the data to create their own choreographed combat sequences starring their favorite Gladiatrix. Audience members could, for a price, piggyback on Xaviera’s own neural pathways, feeling everything she felt, experience the thrill of the Arena as Xaviera herself, or guiltily savor the sensation of being sexually penetrated by alien limbs. Eventually, she grew to relish her new life, seeing it as an unexpected culmination of her youthful interests. Rich, successful, and afforded the delights of tentacle sex whenever she pleased, Xaviera wanted nothing more than to remain the Arena’s most entrepreneurial attraction.
