Background
A few years ago, a story briefly made the news about one Special Agent Hannah Vane going berserk and turning on her employers. Allegedly suffering a severe cyberpsychotic break, she thoroughly destroyed the Crey laboratory she had been assigned to as security detail, killing several innocent personnel and causing millions of dollars in property damage before disappearing. To this day there is a warrant out for her arrest, and Crey offers a standing reward for any information leading to the rogue agent's capture -- although with the company having much bigger fish to fry, this is not loudly advertised.
These days, she is known as a small-time, street-level hero under the moniker 'Hydraulic Hannah', unlicensed and in hiding, with a hardline stance against ever killing again. She makes occasional appearances in the underground cage-fighting circuit, mostly squaring off against other enhanced humans, and sometimes shows up in the Paragonian club scene and the local augmented community.
Powers
Hannah meets the classification of 'heavy cyborg', having had roughly sixty-five percent of her body mass replaced. Her suite of augmentations is geared to power and durability over speed, with four full cyberlimbs granting mildly superhuman strength, heavy subdermal armor plating, and an implant that filters out pain. What remains of her skeleton has been reinforced, both to withstand greater blows and simply to keep the weight of her limbs from causing dangerous wear on her bones.
Additionally, Hannah has several much more minor augmentations, such as cybereyes with near-infrared vision, and a very basic neural interface jack, which lacks wireless capability for security reasons. ("Can't hack what you can't connect to.") Her ware is good-quality but not startlingly advanced, composed mostly of high-grade surgical steel, plastic, and other not-so-super synthetic materials.
According to Hannah, she was not modified against her will as is dismayingly common, but willingly accepted an even greater degree of augmentation than standard in her position.
