Fursona
Zoey Lavender is an anthro character who belongs Natalia Zephyrine.

Character Description
Zoey Lavender is a female anthro red fox mercenary living in 2166, with cybernetic arms and a pair of female genitals. She has black hair, often styled in a ponytail, a white belly, and amber colored eyes. She stands 8' 4" tall (254cm) and weighs 400lb (181kg).

Species origin
She was originally part of a government project to create the ultimate infiltration unit. In 1954, German scientists were experimenting with genetic engineering after Hitler's defeat. All test subjects were grown, not born. Only two of her kind remain. The species has an unknown life span, and Zoey herself is more than hundred years old.

Originally, her purpose was to be a breeder, so the Nazi remnants wouldn't need to continue the expensive and slow process of engineering.

History
During her time in the Nazi testing facility, she was created, taught basic skills such as reading, speaking, and other human mannerisms. When she turned 21, she was locked in a breeding room for the sole purpose of giving birth to more fox people.

She absolutely refused to mate with any males. She was abused, beaten, and tortured. WWIII started in 2035, and when the Allies bombed Germany during World War Three, a small team raided Nazi government facilities and offices for any potential beneficial items and key people.

Zoey was rescued and brought to the United States, where she went under additional testing and augmentation. Here, she was given an extensive amount of drugs, hormones, and steroids, some of which allowed her to grow to 100 inches (254cm) tall and 400lbs (181.5kg). Some of the testing left physical scars and left her voice significantly higher pitch than normal. When the US was nuked by Russia, she escaped and started fighting on her own.

She was inadvertently re-captured by invading Russians and brought to their base in Manhattan, but they failed to contain her, and she escaped their base, killing all 400 soldiers stationed there, even overpowering soldiers using powered exoskeletons. The base contained prototype armor, which she stole and refit multiple times during her misadventures.

Sometime during her adventure she dated an officer who was stationed at a US technology base, but he ended up being a Russian spy, cutting both of her arms off to prevent her from escaping. She then killed him anyways and used his clearance to steal and implant a pair of cybernetic arms at the tech base, and then set the base on fire, looting the prototype technology for herself.

Personality
Due to her powerful nature, she is incredibly reckless and has a very apathetic and selfish attitude. She constantly shows a lack of remorse for her actions and uses her intimidating presence to get whatever she wants, often resorting to stealing, hurting people, or outright murder.

She does, however, have a soft side. People she becomes close with often share her moral compass (or rather, a lack of one). She vigorously defends those she cares about and will stop at nothing to protect them, although she surrounds herself with others who are just as strong. She's incredibly outgoing and speaks her mind, often to a fault of angering others.

Her speech mannerisms are casually vulgar, and she swears in normal conversation. Despite being a professional mercenary, her tone is always condescending, and she often looks down on others (metaphorically as well as physically). She will constantly berate others for their weaknesses despite having plenty of her own, and when confronted with her hypocrisy she will become defensive and attempt justifications such as "I'm fine with it," or "It doesn't affect me". Her favorite swear word is "fuck" and she loves combining it with other words, even if the combination doesn't make sense.

Zoey is prone to psychological and physical addiction, and is usually under the influence of one substance or another, be it her anti-anxiety medication, alcohol, legal stimulants such as caffeine, or street drugs. She loves stimulants, and has been seen drinking an entire 24-count case of energy drinks on more than one occasion, and goes on stimulant fueled rampages during mercenary contracts that don't require stealth or discretion.

Strengths and abilities
Outside of her enormous stature and weight, she can lift over ten metric tonnes because of her cybernetic arms. Her spare time is spent practicing with her weapons, mainly a heavily modified PTRS-41 anti-material rifle.

Equipment and weapons
Zoey uses a variety of equipment for missions and contracts, due to her dangerous occupation of a mercenary.

Armor
She usually wears a sizable red and black exo/mecha suit that covers her entire body and augments her already impressive strength and endurance. It was a military prototype that never saw commercialization, and was archived and forgotten about during WWIII. It can withstand scorching temperatures in excess of five thousand degrees centigrade, and is made of a tungsten carbide alloy that is almost completely impact-proof. It has protected her against multiple 125mm APFSDS shells from a T-14 Armata during a rampage at a Russian FOB. It emits a barely-visible red electromagnetic shield, has low light vision, thermal vision, and EM-spec vision. It also has a temporary cloaking generator which bends light around her, although the EM shield is disabled while this is active, leaving her more vulnerable to large caliber shells.

She has modified her mecha suit to dispense anti-anxiety drugs though an integrated inhaler, which also have the beneficial side effect of dampening her libido, although benzodiazepines are prone to leaving her with withdrawal effects and additional addiction.

It also has jet propulsion integrated into the boots, and while they are unsuited for flight, they help to augment her jumping abilities. It has multiple types of radio, with a transmit and a receive antennae on the back of the suit.

When not in her mecha suit, she wears a relatively thin under armor. It is handmade and offers significantly less protection than her mecha suit, being made only of UHMWPE, ballistic ceramic, ballistic steel, and kevlar.

Weapons
Due to her enormous stature, wielding normal firearms can be uncomfortable and ineffective, with difficulties ranging from being unable to properly aim down sights due to arm length, to her fingers not being able to physically fit into the trigger guard of some rifles and pistols. Because of this, she independently uses modified heavy weapons that are usually carried and operated by multiple personnel, with the only exception being the LWMMG by General Dynamics.

Her primary and most used weapon is an antique PTRS-41 that she modernized on her own. The wood stock has been replaced with composite materials (PU and steel alloy), the box magazine has been replaced with a drum (although she carries spare box magazines), the muzzle brake has been taken from a KORD machine gun and refit, and on occasion she has been seen with an advanced gun shield that has integrated cameras and screens to mitigate visibility loss. The receiver of the rifle has also been upgraded with a new fire control group to allow for selective fire, the advantages of which allow rapid engagement of large targets such as tanks and APCs, and single engagements for ranged elimination of targets such as armored personnel.

She normally carries two drum magazines with 20 round capacity, and additional 10-round box magazines with various munition types such as APFSDS, HEAT, HE, and standard ball-type rounds.

Backup armaments are rare for her due to the limited resistance she faces when on missions, but when stealth or discretion is required, she uses a handmade 14.5mm pistol that utilizes handmade 14.5x50 rounds. Not much is known about it outside of what limited information people who have survived her wrath have shared and the bullet casings she has left in her wake.

On occasion she has been able to shoulder fire extremely powerful weapons such as the KPV HMG and the M134 Minigun, although she suffered limb damage after sustained use of the latter.

Weaknesses and faults
As a female mammal with human based genitalia, she is vulnerable to things like cramps, cravings, and emotional instability, largely due to the human menstrual cycle. Even worse, these negative side effects are doubled because of her unique anatomy.

As previously mentioned, she has a very uncaring and apathetic personality, which can push away potential allies. Along with general instability, she suffers from a few other disorders due to her traumatic history, but refuses to let others help her due to general stubbornness. She is very untrusting, and prefers to work alone, even if doing so carries a much larger risk of death.

She suffers greatly from nymphomania which is only exacerbated by her unique genital anatomy. Due to her mental instability from all of the testing and drugs, she will sometimes force herself on others to cope with it, as she has very poor self control. This coping mechanism isn't so much conscious rape as it is a psychotic fit from hormones, anti-anxiety drug use, addiction, trauma, and insatiable sexual drive. In addition to these existing problems she also suffers from an addiction to sex. All of these combined hurts her effectiveness in combat as it becomes much harder for her to focus on a task or breathe properly during a firefight. While her discipline, focus, and ability to remain on task are generally good, her performance will rapidly deteriorate when she is met with extreme emotional distress or if she is tired/exhausted, as it becomes harder for her to proactively self-mitigate her own mental problems.

Her mecha suit is powered by an unknown source and has shut down during battles, leaving her immobile and vulnerable. In order to move, she must exit the suit.

While the projectiles that hit her mech suit are deflected or destroyed most of the time, the armor does not negate the kinetic energy the projectiles carry. After large battles she is sometimes left with bruises, lesions, fractures or broken bones, and often has to spend a long time resting and healing, even with her healing factor.
