Biography

Aika Makida, more commonly known as "The Blue Orchid", is a full-conversion cyborg from 24th century Earth. Originally designed by Crey as part of the Paragon Protectors program intended to combat other superheroes, Makida turned against her 24th century teammates during a mission to protect a time machine. Her core programming took over, forcing her teammates to defend themselves from her. They managed to force her through the active time machine, sending her back to the early 21st century. The temporal shift also served to wipe her memory and her core programming. She woke up in early 21st century Seattle, thinking she was human. She was still aware of her powers and identity as The Blue Orchid, but there was little else for her to go on.

In Seattle, she became an associate member of The Emerald Order, a team of heroes dedicated to protecting the city. Their foes typically included the Yakuza and several street gangs, and often meta-villians.

Personalty

Aika thinks of herself as human. Her skin is soft and warm and when she looks in the mirror, she sees a human, not a machine. She retains the ability to love and be intimate, but knowing her true nature often keeps her from getting close with anyone, except those that she knows could in fact handle the truth. Aika was not even aware that she was a cyborg until damage sustained in a fight revealed her cybernetic parts beneath torn synthetic skin.

In combat, she rarely speaks. She maintains a level of cold professionalism and will not stop until she has achieved victory. This spills over to detective work and is a virtual bloodhound when it comes to tracking villains or other criminals.

While she is based in Seattle, Makida hates staying in one place and will regularly travel. Comrades have labeled her with wanderlust, but she’d say it’s just a matter of curiosity that she wants to see the world.

She is very protective of her friends and will place herself in danger in order to protect her friends, even if they can protect themselves.
