Appearance
Head – Laelaps has a very small head with two black ears that hang down beside her head. She has a rather bare head with no crystals, tubes or any sort of extras.
Chest/torso – Laelaps' body is predominantly covered in white crystals that cover her entire upper torso and back (from the rib-region up). Her stomach is left uncovered by crystals is white with several black spots on either side, above her hips and on her back.
Arms – From the elbow down, Laelaps arms (and hands) appear to be made of crystals rather than metal. They are all a shimmering white though the glow from her laser based powers can be seen emanating from underneath them.
Legs – Laelaps legs are quite thin and take the typical dog shape (bent at an angle). Her legs are mostly white with a few black spots on the outside of her thighs. Her outer thigh region also has several white crystals embedded into it.

Weapons/Special Attacks
Weapons: Her body.
Items:
Special Attacks:
- Arc Laser - Buster - Fires a thin laser bolt that the user can curve once.
- Laser Line - Saber - Launches a line of laser strikes directly in front of the user.
- Flash Beam - Knuckle - The user launches a pulse of laser energy from their hands that spreads itself out when close to them but then narrows as it travels until it disappears.
- Defence Stream - Emits numerous thin laser beams which circle the user and intercept projectiles. Can only defend from a few projectiles before exhausts it's power. Takes a bit of time before it can be reused.
- Streak Storm - Laelaps fires numerous beams above her then when she has enough airborn she calls them down. (Can be called down all at once, or only some of them at a time.)
- Ray Cleaver - Laelaps charges energy in her arms for a few seconds before unleashing a massive beam of energy from each hand. These beams can cut through most objects with relative ease. Though this attack does not last particularly long before it runs out of energy.
Background
Personality: Laelaps is eager to please her master and prove her worth. She seeks every challenge she can and makes no attempt to run away even from something that might be tough. She is also quite playful, if a bit sadistic about it. She has no problem causing pain and suffering to enemies (she views it as all part of the game).
History: Laser Laelaps was designed to work with a research team studying the effects of lasers. As a result she was fitted with numerous high tech laser generation systems. Even before she became a maverick she viewed the tests as a game. A chance to prove herself. So when the chance to test a new type of laser deflection medium in a zero gravity environment presented itself she jumped at the chanced. She was took her spot in on the crew of a space station and began helping the crew. However an unfortunate incident occurred. A solar flare affected the station's solar power grid temporarily overloading it, and by extension… Laser herself. This happened in the middle of a new test. The resulting power surge blew the new material apart, ripped Laser's systems apart and severely injured the crew. Help arrived too late and found only Laser left, a twitching mess.
She was taken back to Earth for repairs. After receiving repairs she submitted a report on the incident and was quickly blamed by the company for it. They declared her at fault and wanted her shut down for it. Distraught over what had happened and how she had been betrayed she fled and Mavericks found her not too long after. She willingly joined them.
Behind the Maverick
Her theme song is: Thomas Hayes ft. Joni Fatora - Neon
Laelaps derives from Greek mythology where a Laelaps was a dog that could catch anything. Though there were 2 different appearances for Laelaps. One was a plain brown dog and the other was a white dog with black spots. I choose the white appearance because the addition of white crystals would make her seem more celestial (a nod to her eventual fate in the myth).
The curving laser is achieved by small pieces of reflective material being propelled within the laser that the user can signal to realign and alter the direction of the beam. Though they can't be used multiple times because they burn out very quickly. (Another nod to her backstory.)
