Operator Liskarm often fought in Originium-afflicted areas but has not yet been infected thanks to proper protective measures.

'By the books', 'as pragmatic as one gets' are how all people who have worked with Liskarm tend to describe her.

It's always the same steady rhythm to her fighting: Attack, advance, ascertain the situation, communicate with teammates, review strategy, rinse and repeat.

As Franka's combat partner, Liskarm considers Franka's fighting style rather risky. She struggles to comprehend why Franka would look to combat to satisfy her thrill-seeking. But Liskarm stays true to her obligations as a partner and always reminds Franka of proper standard operating procedures, trying to nip any potential recklessness in the bud.

She can and will endure the inevitable tongue-lashing from Franka afterwards, knowing nothing is more important than their survival.

Liskarm's Flash Shield is actually an enlarged Arts staff fixture, activated only by Liskarm's own unique abilities.

When activated, the shield emits over 54,000,000 lumen of intense light, plus a destructive electrical shock covering a conical area 5 meters in radius. It is terrifyingly devastating when released in small, confined spaces.

However, these Arts drain a lot of energy from Liskarm, exhausting her completely. Therefore, Blacksteel commanders often pair her with a melee specialist. Currently, Franka assumes that role.

Liskarm has repeatedly complained to her superiors in hopes of reining Franka in, since after every lightning strike, Franka would take advantage of a sapped, immobile Liskarm by pranking her.

Note: When she uses her electricity-based powers, her horns glow a luminescent turquoise.

When her partner Franka was confirmed Infected, Liskarm immediately requested to be reassigned to Rhodes Island to be with her.

Liskarm felt Franka would want someone she knew for company. Not to mention she had gotten used to working with Franka in combat and believed Franka to feel the same.

However, Franka denied the allegation and even requested that Liskarm be sent back to Blacksteel. She couldn't wait to be rid of her babysitter, and was dismayed to see her (former) partner going through the reassignment motions at Human Resources the next day. That's just not cool.

According to witness accounts from many Operators, the two Blacksteel Operators had an altercation coming out of HR, both threatening to complain to the other's superiors.

Liskarm hopes to form her own private security company in the future. Working for Blacksteel Worldwide is only a first step to that goal.

Because Liskarm is lacking in physical stature, and the fact that her race is not known for skill in combat or Originium Arts, no one ever expected much out of the small Vouivre girl from the sticks. She even bought into that view in the past.

But her steady-does-it and stubbornly patient personality always compelled her to devote more time and effort than her peers to fulfilling her goals. When she was an intern with Blacksteel, Liskarm tagged along on every sortie they would allow, starting at the bottom and working her way up to become a reliable, competent security specialist.

Liskarm's hometown is located in an area controlled by the Vouivre Alliance, a small city primarily relying on mining, quarrying and stone processing. To maintain the viability of these industries, the city often operated in the deserts and mountains near the mines and quarries--where nomadic robbers and their mercenary cohorts roamed.

To counter potential raids, the city formed a defense force, but inadequate training and poor equipment forced it to turn to more reputable security contractors.

The contractors who fiddled with newfangled weaponry and equipment, speaking to each other in foreign languages, repelling invaders in the blink of an eye were Liskarm's very first memory of the business.

She wasn't interested in money or the thrill of combat. She just wanted to use her weapons to bring peace, not chaos, to the people.
