Profile
Born in the Arkhangelsk near the shores of the White Sea, Ulianna Satarov was quickly declared stillborn and entrusted to the loving care of the government of the Soviet Union. Raised and trained into the secret service as part of the Spetznas Vympel unit, the woman codenamed Akula spent many years both in and out of war, in the seas and on the land. When the old ordre collapsed and the Russian Federation rose it its place, Akula went rogue, no longer recognizing the authority of the replacement government. Disappearing beneath the Arctic Ocean for decades, reappearing here and there around the world in random sightings, the fearsome ex-soldier has finally come ashore once more, her reasons her own.

Description
History
Personality
Abilities
ENHANCED DURABILITY
Ulianna's dense muscle mass and semi-armored skin can resist damage done from conventional weapons (low caliber firearms, average bladed weapons) and physical blows approximate to a human athlete.
ENHANCED LIFESPAN
Ulianna's aging has slowed down considerably, both due to her shark physiology and regenerative capacity. It was estimated by the scientists that examined her in infancy that she could live to see her one thousandth birthday.
ENHANCED STRENGTH
Ulianna's strength naturally far exceeds peak human capacity. She is capable of ripping through battleship armor with her bare hands, caving in the engine block of a small car with a strike from her tail, or deadlifting and throwing a school bus.
REGENERATION
Ulianna is capable of regenerating any lost tissue given sufficient time and nutrient exposure at the approximate rate of one limb per day, deep wounds within and hour and minor injuries within minutes. In a starving condition, her healing rate slows down to human standard.
SHARK PHYSIOLOGY
Ulianna's body structures mimic the traits of both thresher sharks and greenland sharks, having the fins, teeth, thermoregulation and speed of threshers alongside the deep-diving, cold-tolerant, longevity and toxic body chemistry of greenland sharks. She can breathe both water both salt and fresh alongside normal human respiration. She can withstand deep sea pressures up to 5 miles deep. Ulianna's cold tolerance extends to -40F without need for clothing or shelter. Her body produces a natural antifreeze that can have toxic effects on normal human beings if consumed. Her mouth has three rows of teeth, and like sharks, she is constantly regrowing ones she loses. Her sense of smell is exceptionally heightened, with the range being increased in water (up to five miles for a few drops of blood). She is capable of sensing electromagnetic fields at a range of one mile; at under one hundred yards she can sense the bioelectricity activity of living creatures as small as a mouse. Her skin is covered in tiny denticle scales which increase her water speed and durability. When her skin is contacted in a direction from tail to head, it has the same effects as sandpaper. She can reach speeds up to 75mph in water.Skills
ARCTIC SEAS
Ulianna knows the layout of the northern oceans of the planet, including what lies beneath miles of ice after twenty years of exporation and residency there. She can successfully retreat into any northern ocean and remain hidden there for decades, if not centuries, if she so chooses. She is extremely difficult to locate in these areas, but is also isolated within them.
SPETSNAZ TRAINING
Ulianna was trained from early childhood into the role of a soldier, and during her teenage years she was inducted into the Soviet Special Forces, or spetsnaz, within the Vympel unit. This training includes the ability to drive or pilot multiple types of military and civilian vehicles, including combat jet fighters and tanks (though due to her size, these instances are few and far between and can be considered academic at best). She knows wilderness and urban survival in multiple climates and biomes, has memorized maps of several major cities (including New York, NY), can maintain and fire any soviet firearm, and is trained in a specialized variation of sambo fighting that takes advantage of her size and extra limbs. She is trained in human first aid, as Vympel officers are expected to be able to save lives as well as take them. Apart from her native Russian, she speaks English, Dari, Pashto and Turkmen. Marine warfare and naval tactics were foremost in her combat experience, though she is no slouch on land. She can be considered one mutant special forces brigade who has, over time and experience, collected enough knowledge to be a self-sufficient and effective in nearly any combat theater or scenario.Resources
MEMENTOS
Ulianna has kept a cache of a few things dear to her in a hidden location: Her old uniform, her medals, combat shovel and dragunov sniper rifle.==============================================================================
Weaknesses
BERSERKER
Partially conditioned, partially biologically induced, Ulianna's behavior devolves into a barely contained feral predator once she smells a combination of blood and "fear" (faint chemicals produced by threatened or injured humans or animals) in her immediate vicinity. This "blood in the water" reaction has cost her team mates, allies and close relationships over the decades. It requires significant effort to maintain self-control during a berserker state, leaving her willpower sapped after only a few minutes. Physical or psychic intervention is required to stop her once she's started, and only exhaustion or unconsciousness rids her of it.
HARD LIVING
Drinking and brawling are two of Ulianna's favorite sports. Both of these lead to property damage, injury, hangovers and regrets.
HEAP BIG WOMAN
Modern architecture is not made to handle someone of Ulianna's size and shape. Simple things such as doorways, showers, beds and clothing can provide serious challenges. Structurally unsound areas are much quicker to collapse under her weight.
OUT OF DATE
Ulianna left her home in the Soviet Union in 1995, and went to live in the Arctic Ocean for the last twenty years. She has been out of contact with the rest of the world for three decades, and has no idea what has happened in her absence. Her outlook is still that of a loyal Soviet soldier, which may put considerable strain on her relationships with others, especially 'Americanskis', whom she regards as untrustworthy enemies until proven otherwise.
WANTED
Ulianna is AWOL from her position in the former armed forces of the Soviet Union, and the present armed forces of the Russian Federation. This carries both the threat of courtmartial, deportation, or outright treason in her homeland.
WATER
Ulianna's biology requires that she be submerged in water, preferably sea water, for at least one hour a day. Without exposure to water, her body builds up too many toxins for her systems to handle, poisoning her and leaving her delirious and sick. After several days without water, she risks dying.Logs
