Tango 25

Tango 25 was a Blackout soldier involved in both their cybernetic augmentation program and Project Synthesis. As such, she was subject to both mental conditioning and physical experimentation, most notably the replacement of her animal ears and one of her eyes with prosthetic ones. She is regarded as one of Xephyer's most effective soldiers, giving her the faction rank of 'Wraith'.

Phonetic Identity
Like all Blackout soldiers, whether conscripted or willingly enlisted, her name was replaced with phonetic identification, with Tango 25 standing for Platoon 20, Soldier 25. All memory of Tango 25's birth name was lost during her mental conditioning during Project Synthesis.

Physical Characteristics
Tango 25 was born an additional set of ears on top of her head, resembling that of a lynx. Her eyes were also deviated, being yellow and excelling in dark environments. After she joined Blackout, Tango's lynx ears and one of her eyes were replaced with prosthetics. To her augmentor, Xephyer's surprise the ears maintained complete functionality. The same could not be said for her eye, which lost its nightvision capability and became sensitive to bright light altogether.

Deathfire
Tango 25's paragon is the epitome of a death sentence, a fire-based spell that in addition to its power, prevents the target from healing themselves magically. This makes Tango an exception to the 'If it didn't kill them instantly, it probably didn't kill them' rule of sorcerer combat. The fire burns an occult violet color, and survivor accounts suggest that the spell burns life energy itself as opposed to other fire spells. If unharmed by any other source, Deathfire is unlikely to completely burn a target alive, even if it comes dangerously close.
