Personality
Zillia is a quiet, stoic, mostly emotionless individual. She uses a very formal and respectful speech pattern, speaks in short sentences, is very blunt and to-the-point, and doesn't really pay any attention to her phrasing, which often results in her dropping all sorts of accidental innuendos. Literal-minded and somewhat naive, she has no concept of duplicity and always takes words at face value: this causes her to be both brutally honest and surprisingly gullible, a combination of traits which, to be frank, doesn't make for the most effective spy/intelligence agent in the world. Thankfully, her lack of emotions makes her a scarily precise and effective assassin, which sorta compensates.
She is obsessed with ice cream, and can be bribed into doing virtually anything by offering some to her (this is something she takes from her template, Asuka): this won't go as far as making her stray from her mission though, as her mind was specifically programmed to believe that the mission, as entrusted to her by her superiors in CP2, is absolute and takes priority over everything. When focused on advancing her mission, she will sometimes use mercenary/assassin jargon while talking in a flat, almost robotic tone, which will result in her blurting out lines such as "mission acknowledged", "engaging hostiles", "assessing threat level" and "initializing termination protocols".
That Man built her to be the vessel for the consciousness of Asuka, his daughter, and even though government scientists wiped her mind after his defection, some minor aspects of Asuka's personality still remain within her. She's extremely curious, and in fact her eyes will only ever widen and show some emotion when she's listening intently to someone explain something she didn't know. She's also extremely proud of her hair, and will register as an enemy anyone who would so much as touch it. Lastly, while her love and devotion for That Man were suppressed, she still retains some manner of connection with him: namely, she's always capable of telling in which direction he is. Mind you, she can't tell how far he is, nor pinpoint his exact location nor pick out his presence in a crowd, but she can always tell that he is, for example, somewhere north (or west or whatever) of the spot where she's currently standing
Appearance
Zillia is a tall, slender, athletic girl, with a ballerina-like build, pale skin, large azure eyes, and incredibly long blonde hair. She dresses very modestly and conservatively, usually going for simple color schemes such as black and white, black and yellow, or white and blue. Each outfit she owns comes with a coordinated license plate-looking thing, which attaches to her forehead and is engraved with her identification code.
Looking at her you wouldn't tell she's a cyborg, much less a heavy one, because That Man specifically designed her to make her look as human and as normal as possible: that said you shouldn't be fooled by appearance, all four of her limbs are completely mechanical, and cutting her skin would expose nothing but circuitry. Most of her internal organs have been enhanced or outright replaced with cybernetics, as well: lastly, her hair is actually made of razor floss, which she can weaponize in battle.

Traits
Inhuman Swiftness
Inhuman Toughness
Fuel Source (rum)
Conductive (electricity)
An idea I had for a running gag based on her fuel source: in Fairy Tail protagonist Natsu Dragneel suffers from extreme motion sickness, and this has created a running gag as part of which, if he's carried around by any kind of vehicle, Natsu will get sick... But if he's carried around by a flying animal (not just Happy: in the Edolas arc he rode a Legion monster and he was fine) he will not get sick because he thinks the animal is not a vehicle but rather a friend. I was thinking of doing a similar thing: Kyoko has no resistance towards alcohol and will get knock-out drunk almost immediately upon drinking any non-rum liquor, even in small quantities... But she can drink endless amounts of the cheap, low-quality rum without it affecting her in any way, because she thinks of it not as "drinking" but rather as "refueling".

Fighting Styles
Name: My hair is razor floss so I can use it this way
Focus: Her own hair, close-to-medium range combat
Class: E
Description: Zillia is rather literal-minded and unimaginative, so she has terrible naming sense, sorry about that. Anyway, her hair is indeed made of exceptionally thin and flexible, but still very resilient and sharp, metal wire. Her brain was augmented with cybernetics specifically to give her some degree of control over the hair's movement, allowing her to weaponize it and use it in combat in a number of ways. This grants her a rather diverse fighting style that can handle threats in a decently wide radius, its only limit being, quite obviously, the length of her hair: by the way yes, it does regrow if cut, but it takes twice the time normal hair would. As such, cutting it IS a valid strategy to shut down Zillia's offense during battle, but it's made of metal so cutting it isn't easy. Electricity is also very effective: Zillia's hair is conductive, so if it's hit by electricity the current will go straight to the cybernetically enhanced parts of her brain, causing extensive damage.
Name: Rokushiki
Focus: The empowerment of one's body in a number of ways
Class: E
Description: As a CP agent Zillia was obviously trained in the use of Rokushiki. For now she has only mastered one technique, which is the Geppo, but she does know the bare basics of the others and practices her daily, her goal being to master more in the future.

Background
"That Man". Zillia's creator has committed such a grave sin against the World Government, the very knowledge of his name, not to mention his research, has been outlawed: his former collegues have already been disposed of in order to prevent them from spilling the beans, each of them assassinated by Zillia as a "test run" of her skills as a killer. Outside of the World Government members who ordered him dead, nowadays there are only three people in the world who know his true name: the current Fleet Admiral of the Marine, Zillia herself (one of her core directives, etched straight into her brain so that she can never disobey it, being "don't reveal that name to anybody"), and I would like for the third one to be an OC played by somebody else here in the community, I think it would make for an interesting dynamic.
But what crime did That Man commit? Let's take a step back: 31 years before the current events of the site, his wife died giving birth to a daughter, whom he named Asuka. Sickly and plagued with multiple genetic diseases, Asuka's life was a struggle from the get go, and she grew up with nothing but a simple, innocent wish burning in her maiden heart: she begged her father to give her a sister... With weapons of mass destruction and advanced functionalities, to help her take over the world. Being a caring, loving father (and also a completely insane and evil to the bone scientist), That Man was more than happy to comply, and so the project that would eventually give birth to Zillia was born: as he was an employee of the World Government at the time, he claimed that the goal of this project was to create a new type of cyborg specialized in assassination, which the government could use against their enemies, and this allowed him to obtain significant funding.
Naturally, an assassin cyborg, no matter how effective, is not going to take over the world. That Man however happened to have significant knowledge of the Void Century, as he had been involved in the project to obtain/recreate the Ancient Weapons: his goal was to grant Z1-28, the strongest among the Z1 series of cyborgs he had created, firepower equal to that of an Ancient Weapon, but the worsening conditions of his daughter eventually forced him to postpone this plan, instead trying to save at least part of Asuka by implanting her consciousness into Z1-28, before her body died off for good. The process was partially successful, with Z1-28 obtaining many personality traits and most of the memories of Asuka: at this point That Man wanted to see the cyborg as his daughter, as a true person, and so he gave her the more human-sounding name of Zillia. This, by the way, is why I stated that the matter of her age "is complicated": her body is a hodgepodge of mechanical components and organic parts taken from various test subjects, most of which had different physical ages; her brain, and thus her sense of self as well as the template for her personality, comes from Asuka, who was 23 at the time, and the whole process was completed 8 years ago, which technically means the resulting cyborg is 8 years old.
That Man then went back to his plan to give Zillia the apocalyptic power of an Ancient Weapon, because he wanted to at least honor his daughter's lifelong dream of taking over the world: sadly he was discovered, and had to flee and go into hiding in order to avoid the inevitable capital punishment. Realizing that Zillia, whom That Man wasn't able to take with him as he ran for his life, had such great potential that just disposing of her would be a waste, the World Government decided to make use of her instead, wiping her mind, tampering with her personality and most of her memories so as to make her completely loyal (it was quite the painful process), and then assigning her to CP2, a CP group specialized in tracking down and eliminating traitors and deserters. After a "test run" for her abilities, during which Zillia was made to assassinate That Man's former coworkers, she was assigned her true mission: tracking down and killing That Man himself. After all, her ability to tell in which direction he is relative to her is the only clue the Government has to figure out where he hid himself, so Zillia really is the only suitable candidate for this mission.
And it is for the sake of carrying out this mission that this naive, emotionless cyborg now ventures into the world: what kind of encounters await her?
