Phoenix Crash - refined

character: color refined rendition of Phoenix Crash from "Reactor Roboforce"

Janice Saunders is Eric O'Connell's high school classmate and girlfriend who grew up and raised in a crime-ridden area of Portland, Oregon and known Eric since she was as ten years old. Little did she knew that she would join him is the fight to defend Earth and all of humanity from the most dangerous evil in the universe. One day, a Desolator (an evil alien robot faction) strike team attack her high school and planned to kidnap Eric for ransom to exchange his life for his father to surrender the hiding members of the resistance movement, the Reactors. Two Reactor soldiers intercept the would-be kidnappers and a battle ensued. In the melee of plasma blasts, a stray beam aimed directly toward Eric and Janice pushed him out of the way, leaving the beam ricocheting upwards to a brick wall directly two stories above them, causing it to collapse on them. The Reactor grunts, Sean Gunnery and Cindy Comlink rescued the fatally injured couple and rushed them to a nearby hospital. In a desperate move to save their dying bodies, Eric's father, Dr. O'Connell, performed an experimental surgery that transferred Eric and Janice's brains and spinal cords into two cybernetic shells: two spare bodies normally used for emergency repairs to wounded Reactor soldiers. Now living as a powerful robot warrrior, Janice joins Eric (now known as Atom Smash) the surviving band of Reactor resistance fighters in the fight to protect humanity from the onslaught of the Desolators. She has been given a new code name: Phoenix Crash, Atom's partner and second-in-command of the Reactors.

Janice/Phoenix is filled with rage on the Desolators and how they almost took hers and Eric's life and is determined to defeat and destroy the menacing robot army and preventing them from annihilating those she holds dear. Despite her annoying nagging toward Eric/Atom to not get into trouble, she in reality is a kindhearted and compassionate friend. She devoted her life to helping Eric/Atom be a better role model for others. She helps her fellow Reactors to know better about the Earth and its' people and how she can encourage them to help humanity with their problems. She also has an iron will and strong determination to face any challenge and to overcome any obstacle that stands in her way. Being a strong fighter, Phoenix will do anything, even sacrifice her life to make sure Earth has a future from the reign of terror of the Desolators. Her favorite hobby is doll collecting. Her favorite food is Cherry pie.

As a Reactor cyborg like the alien race that spawns both the Reactors and the Desolators, Phoenix possesses an arsenal of hi-tech weapons, powers and abilities, including supersonic flight, super speed, enhanced strength and reflexes, the ability to survive space and underwater without the aid of breathing and protective equipment, invulnerability to conventional Earth weapons (but not to Desolator/Reactor munitions), hand repulsors that fire a wide range of beam projectiles and projected shields used for offensive and defensive purposes, and other hidden weapons like wrist missile launchers and robotic hands that can transform into grappling hooks and concealed beam swords and axes. Her cybernetic body can be upgraded with several hi-tech weapons attachments including heavy missile launchers and heavy arm-wrist pulse cannons. Her special cybernetic abilities are short range teleportation and projecting a force shield that can repel projectile weaponry and short-range missile attacks. Her special attack is the "Phoenix Crasher" : when surrounded by enemies, she powers up to emits a powerful globe-shaped energy burst that expands and destroys enemy units and vehicles within a mile-wide radius. Phoenix is a black belt in karate and is currently trained by the Reactors in their native robot melee fighting techniques. She is an expert swimmer and deep sea diver. She is schooled in oceanography and geography. Despite her being outranked by Atom, Phoenix has more experience in leadership abilities and has extensive training in military-style tactics.
