AK-12

About AK-12

AK-12, sometimes nicknamed “Snow Wolf”, is the “pack's alpha” and second-in-command of Task Force DEFY and a state-of-the-art elite T-Doll specialized in electronic warfare. Her output is sufficient to hack into dozens of military-grade automatons at once, and she is outfitted with Level II debugging equipment to perform field operations on the Neural Cloud of other Dolls. She however recognizes that some EW tasks are out of her reach and only feasible by the members of Squad 404, such as hacking into a Nyto's base layer (which necessitates OGAS compatibility). She's most of the time seen with a mysterious smile, her eyes closed and a smug and brash attitude, but becomes quite serious and cautious in combat. Her status as DEFY's team leader has earned her a reputation as one of the best Tactical Dolls in the world within the covert ops community.

AK-12's appearance

An almost monochrome character in terms of color palette, with long silver hair tightened into a ponytail, AK-12 gives off the impression of a skilled military elite. Her combat attire consists of three layers, listed from inside to outside: a Jacket, an accessory body belt, and a cloak. She also comes with a gas mask of some sort that she occasionally wears. She wears long trousers which seem to almost seamlessly blend into a pair of low-heel/heelless boots. There appears to be a number of ammo pouches attached on her legs. Her eyes are usually shut, but when opened they are of a bright pink hue.

About AK-12: Her eyes being closed

Her senses are so powerful that she usually keeps her eyes shut to lighten her processing load, relying on secondary sensors to perceive her environment. Along with her unnatural-looking irises, this makes her very conspicuous and ill-suited to HUMINT where she would need to conceal her Doll nature. When she opens her eyes, she enters “deep computation mode”. In the artist's unofficial canon, AK-12 also deactivates her emotional modules during heavy combat, a proposed explanation about why her combat quotes are uncharacteristically curt and to the point sentences. The T-Doll's do not actually affect ocular function: AK-12 constantly analyzes her surroundings even with her eyelids sealed shut. Her eyelids function as information filters, with unneeded ocular information being ignored in order to save processing power. Upon entering combat her eyes will open, significantly increasing her ability to analyze the battlefield. To counteract the increased processing load from the additional info, AK-12 will turn off her emotion module, relying purely on logical processes when combat intensifies.

About AK-12: Personality

AK-12 is an elusive Doll who comes and goes as she likes, with a short attention span to boot. She finds great pride in being part of a newer generation of T-Dolls, making her reluctant to take instructions from older Dolls like those in AR Team, and sets high standards for the rest of DEFY who were created at the same time as her. But her true motivation resides in taking interesting orders, seeing interesting situations and meeting interesting people (in the “intellectually stimulating”, “surprising” or “unexpected” sense). As a member of Task Force DEFY, she also enjoys a greater level of freedom of choice than other Dolls, and though she still can't disobey direct orders, she was created with the ability to question them, which makes her come off as argumentative. AK-12 is extremely curious, and will satisfy her curiosity by bending rules and tricking others to draw interesting reactions from them.
