041-Echo

Senate Hunter 041-Echo is one of the 300 Senate Bounty Hunters and carries an X-Class rank. She is allocated to the Taeski Senator and primarily takes on front-line offense/defense roles during combat. Echo's weapons include her custom power armor, two ion daggers and a custom ion whip.

Echo is one of the few bounty hunters to hide within Power Armor, and is considered to be the second to have joined the ranks to do so. Her armor is not as capable of withstanding heavy blasts as others (namely Edge) but is capable of bending light away from her, making her appear to vanish from sight. She can also create after images of herself, mask thermal and gamma emissions and adhere to surfaces using adhesive pads on the hands and feet.

It is not known when or how Echo joined the Senate Hunters, but she was once a pupil of the ex-Hunter D/55-Retal, meaning she is at least four hundred years ago, as he retired that long ago. Her personality, however, fails to reflect this as she is sarcastic, humorous and lighthearted even in the direst of situations. Something which grates on the others’ nerves even though it can help keep them grounded. She is skilled with a Heil Ion Whip, one of only four known to have been made, and also uses an Ion Dagger if engaged at close range. Her massive kill list can attest to her skill with both weapons as well as her acrobatic hand-to-hand prowess.

Echo's identity is as mysterious as her past. Her suit seems to be almost a part of her, clinging more tightly to her frame than any other armor in existence; as if it was actually her skin. She never removes it, even when she sleeps, and is never seen at mealtimes. Who or whatever is inside the suit, it is intent on keeping herself a secret.
