I NEED THE POISON IN MY VEINS
An unholy combination, split apart, leaves her wanting.
Background
The War
When she was young, she was thrown into a galactic war she wanted no place in. Despite this, she was slowly honed into a soldier that was turned into their main weapon. Throughout the many years of war she suffered and lived through many hardships until eventually reaching the end of it via a self sacrifice. The only reason she persists now is because of a wish for another chance at life granted by the Gods. Though the effects of her past life still remain, still afflicted with the PTSD acquired from so many years at war.
A Violent Discovery
Jiko is a hybrid between two alien races. A Hoshi and a Primordial. Caught in a crossroads between them, she has struggled to keep both sides of herself in sync. One side wants to protect and save those within the galaxy she loves. The other wishes to kill in order to selfishly protect themselves.For a year, her Primordial side has ruled over her body getting away with heinous deeds. Even taking up being a mercenary to sate the bloodlust rushing through her. However, upon learning of what their gods intended of both species. Mere building blocks for the human race. After that, her violent side went dormant, granting her access to the body for a while.Upon the other gaining control once more, they agreed on working on her...character. Thus, they joined the group of #UNIVERSE. Unfortunately they perished in the first adventure. Despite that, it led to great reflection.Following her resurrection came the personally devastating events of #SEIZETHEKING. Three people died while she survived. At their funeral, she vowed to become stronger and never run from a fight again.
The Machine
A year or so passes, with no contact from Jiko. Prior to this, she went to investigate a signal on a far off planet. Once there she was trapped within an ancient vault containing an AI created by Abraxis, the god of chaos. The AI trapped her in a suit of its own making, inducing hallucinations to keep her on a tight leash while her experiences as a fighter were used to help further its plan to eliminate all sentient life in the universe. It would have succeeded had a group of heroes not destroyed the facility and thus the planet it was hardwired into.With the facility and the AI gone she resorted to basic instincts, going on a campaign of destruction while the suit kept her under the effects of synthetic adrenaline, making her unaware of what was happening. It wasn't until Simone cracked the outer shell of it was she released from the confines of it. But with her release came a batch of new problems.Overcome with stimulation and now suffering withdrawals from lack of synthetic adrenaline to keep her going, she resorts to using earth drugs, sexual activities, and fights to sate her ever growing needs and put a stop to the hallucinations that plague her. Take note that she is not a junkie by choice, but has not found any alternative nor has the sound mind to search for one.

Jiko wears a tattered, red hoodie, a grey shirt, blue pants, and black sneakers. She doesn't know her true age, so she tells everyone she is 21 years old given that the war lasted about that long and she became a soldier when she was 16.Her personality comes off as cocky, stubborn and somewhat selfish at first, seeking to drive off anyone that would get close to her in hopes of sparing both parties the pain of inevitable disappointment caused by her. Her moods also tend to swing rapidly when stressed or if she has gone without drugs in her system for a few days. Deeper though, she can be a kind, caring and passionate soul that will do whatever it takes to see the people she cares about happy. Even if it comes at her own expense.

Biology
Twin hearts that beat in a different rhythm
Bones are denser than a humans
Does not require oxygen and can survive the vacuum of space
High metabolism
Internal temperature can reach the same temperature as the sun
Body parts become white hot when aroused/ overly excited.
Normally takes at least a pound of drugs a day to keep her body going and to avoid the pain of withdrawal.
The drugs affect her body at a much slower pace, leaving her to believe she is fine when taking copious amounts over the years. Her body will eventually grow weaker. The twin hearts will begin to fail at random times and if both fail she could very well die. On top of that they can beat in an irregular pattern that will throw off blood flow to the body sometimes resulting in numbness or reduced function of affected body parts/areas.
