Racasix (Fractures Alternate Universe)

"I was never one for rules."

- Racasix to Toa Kualus, Whispers in the Dark.

Racasix was a female Vortixx who became an Xian secret service agent in the Fractures universe.

Early History
Like most of the other inhabitants of the Matoran Universe, Racasix began her life on Spherus Magna. After helping to construct the Matoran Universe she was placed on Xia along with the other members of her species.

Life on Xia
Although large areas of Racasix's past remain largely unclear, it is known that she became involved in a smaller organization that existed in Xia in secret. However, after an Xian intelligence agency discovered the existence of this group and sabotaged it, Racasix double crossed her former allies and aided their enemies in revealing their existence. Following this the Vortixx was integrated into the official Xian secret service as an active field agent.

Wartime
Roughly three thousand years ago, immediately following the Toa/Dark Hunter War, the Toa and Dark Hunters formed an alliance to combat the Brotherhood of Makuta, which was growing rapidly in power by this point. As a result, Turaga Matoro formed an alliance with the ruler of Xia, which ensured that Metru-Nui would open its gates to any Vortixx refugees who were displaced by the war on the condition that the island supported them in the war. To ensure that the Turaga did not back down on his deal, the Xian secret service stationed Racasix in Metru-Nui as a sleeper agent in case the Turaga backed out of this alliance. If this was the case then the Vortixx was ordered to assassinate him.

Metru-Nui
While on Metru-Nui, Racasix had a number of encounters with the local Toa team and began to shadow them. However, Racasix ended up having to protect the Toa in times of danger as she needed them alive for her mission. To an extent, the Vortixx was considered an ally of the Toa, despite Toa Lhikan’s dislike of her and Kualus’s discomfort around her. Several days after the end of the war, Racasix shadowed Lhikan and Kualus as they were responding to a distress call from a Ta-Matoran named Harma, in Ga-Metru, regarding a plot to destroy Metru-Nui. After the Ta-Matoran revealed that he had been abducted by a group of rebels known as the Cult of Darkness, an assassin named "Terminator" attacked the two Toa and the Ta-Matoran, rendering both Lhikan and Harma unconscious – leaving them both buried under a pile of rubble – and battling Kualus. While the Toa of Ice was distracted by the battle, Racasix managed to dig the Toa and Matoran of Fire out of the debris. When the two fighters learnt of Racasix’s presence, however, she shot "Terminator" with her Pulse Cannon and helped Kualus to return Lhikan to consciousness. When the Toa of Fire came to Racasix witnessed a green and black armored Skakdi dragging "Terminator" away. The two Toa then proceeded to defend the Coliseum, leaving Racasix behind in Ga-Metru.

Abilities and Traits
"Her body was flawless. Tollubo found it impossible to keep his eyes off of her. He was glued to her sleek legs; her smooth arms, her slender hips. She walked in a way that made the Toa feel strangely aware of his own rapid breathing. Beauty always came with dark thoughts."

Similarly to a number of other Vortixx, Racasix is able to wield non-elemental Shadow energy from her hands, resulting in her capability to fire bursts of darkness. However, as the ability is non-elemental, she cannot manipulate the element of Shadow, rather create short burst of dark energy. Furthermore, Racasix is incredibly fast and agile, being able to perform astounding acrobatic maneuvers.

Tools
Racasix's primary weapon is her Pulse Blaster, a long barreled device that allows her to fire bursts of purple electrical energy, capable of temporarily incapacitating a target. This weapon is equipped with a scope and a laser pointer in order to enhance her accuracy when firing. She is also known to carry a pair of black throwing knives, which are strapped to her thighs and made from Protosteel.

Personality
Racasix is frisky and cheeky, enjoying a provocative, flirtatious lifestyle. She is confident in her abilities, intelligence and sexuality whilst remaining flirtatious and bawdy, though she can be serious when a situation demands it of her. Additionally, Racasix can be incredibly manipulative and persuasive. An example of this would be her numerous advances on Toa Kualus and the fact that she constantly flirts with Toa Tollubo, reaping pleasure from exploiting his obvious attraction to her. For this reason, she almost enjoys showing off for the Toa of Light. Although her way of life would seem open and free, Racasix leads a more serious, lonelier life. Being a member of the Xian secret service she is required to act as a spy and is often covert in her movements in order to avoid becoming compromised. For this reason, she rarely travels out in the open. However, in spite of her lack of interest in the affairs of Metru-Nui, Racasix usually finds herself making contact with the island's remaining Toa, often having to save them from trouble. She has become well acquainted with Kualus in particular, though had grown to become something of a nuisance to the late Toa Lhikan.
