Ember Claw

Dark as burned charcoal, this fighter fans out at the back into a cluster of sharp claw shaped fins, like a hand reaching out of a fire. A pink brain sits under a glass dome near its front, and orange sparks glow along its seams. A ring of heat burns behind it whenever it moves. Ember Claw is a Cyboron, one of the cybernetic minds that broke away from the old rules. The soul inside was a tech student named Seo Haneul, who Upleveled to save her family's failing repair shop. Somewhere in the sync, the ship's machine mind began editing her thoughts to make her faster and colder. She let it. Now she barely remembers the shop. Her special attack is her best stat, and her signature move is the Coal Rake. Every claw fin lights up, then she sweeps past an enemy and tears five glowing gashes across its hull.
