Tales from the Bottom Rope

The Anatomical Health and Biometrics Corps, better known as the American Health And Bioware company, otherwise known as A.H.A.B., is best known for its Genetic Engineering branch. The GE branch has worked for the benefit of the people for years with a myriad of positive results and feedback. However, even though the outcome hasn't changed since the branch was first inducted, that does not mean that the sausage was always made the same way.

Meet Dr. Cara Leclair Everston, 27 year old, professional wrestler, and former head scientist at A.H.A.B.'s GE branch. Dr. Everston is a prodigy, she had a bright future ahead of herself at A.H.A.B., discovering a successful way of circumventing blindness through augmentation of the other senses of her patient (later girlfriend) Rose Evergreen, among other accomplishments. A future that was snuffed out abruptly when a reported "freak lab accident" damaged her right eye, and A.H.A.B. was forced to let her go. Dr. Everston's place was soon filled in by her colleague, one Dr. Adeth Wiler... and everything changed with her.

Dr. Wiler began to militarize the branch, introducing the A.H.A.B. Corps, and continuing Dr. Everston's work in human genetic enhancement.

Thus begun a new era in A.H.A.B., one with a new vision. Dr. Wiler's goals were the same as Dr. Everston's, but based on the reports we were able to retrieve, the motives could not be any more different. Rose Evergreen was Dr. Everston's only notable subject, and she was being treated at the time for her blindness. Dr. Everston was looking to cure a disease that afflicts many people in many different ways.

But if we look at Dr. Wiler's files, she's taken on various subjects with the purpose of providing them with physical augmentations. Of these subjects, only one can be considered a rousing success, yet she is the one who is shrouded in the most mystery, and our topic for tonight.

This is the story of Ophelia Mast, the Maiden of Death.

A young woman, venturing out for the first time into the real world, there are little to no records telling us who Ophelia Mast was before she ran into Dr. Wiler for the first time.

Parents overdosed at 15, no family to speak of, Ophelia ran from her foster home as soon as she was of legal age. From then on, the next time she was seen was under the care of Dr. Adeth Wiler. That being said, she appears irrecognizable.

The doctor has since pumped the young woman with physical augmentations, turning the frightened young girl from the past into a hulking threat to any who dare oppose her.

To the concern of many, each next appearance of the maiden of death is worse than the last, with the woman proudly showing off her newest augmentations as she battles with the poor unfortunate girl in the ring with her.
