Description Ratchet and Clank/ Lombax © Insomniac Games

R n C Astro and P.a.t.c.h in action ^^ While her Angel armour is my personal favourite, the Dragonfly armour seems the most popular, so its featured here. You can't see the Menuki in her Tsuka but they are Plum blossoms. What is it with me and tassels on swords? *L* I like P.a.t.c.h's attempt at grrrr eyes.


Hmm, I cant remember if I ever uploaded Astro's bio so I shall post it here. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome


Astro and P.A.T.C.H

Special agent Astro and P.a.t.c.h (Personal Automated Technology Charged Helper)
Species- Lombax
Age 20

Astro was an only child born to well off parents. She never lacked anything but the love from her parents who had very little time for her. Astro was looked after an A.I companion and guardian cat robot called Patch.
Astro felt that there was something wrong with her. She thought the only way to get her parents to notice her was to be brilliant and excel at things to get their love and attention. While she threw herself into everything, Astro still felt unwanted and hid from the world. She became more withdrawn, with Patch as her only friend.
Astro is very intelligent and easily became top of her class. She practiced martial and sword arts from an early age and enjoyed learning the skills. She upgraded Patch except his voice, as it was not practical for his model, she knows him well enough to understand his mews.

Astro’s parents died suddenly in accident and Astro left her home world to go to Metropolis University on Kerwan. Her studies were interrupted during a terrorist attack on the city. Astro was caught up in the fighting and suffered a bad injury to her eye.
Sasha rescued her during one of her early missions to aid the planet. Astro was then approached by the S.T.A.R organisation (Strategic Tactical Attack and Rescue) and decides to train as a special agent. During her training she makes good friends with Katcha and Talion and starts to come out of her shell. Astro eventually replaced her damaged eye with a bio-wear eye patch and upgrades Patch to help in the field. She removes the fur and replaces the outer casing with a toughened plastic and backs up Patch’s AI and memory files in case something happens to him. Astro is still somewhat self-conscious of her eye and has grown her hair over that side as the bio-wear can easily see through it.

Patch is very lightweight and Astro can throw Patch up to high ledges as well as being able to climb. Patch has small retractable blasters on his forearms. Astro is very agile and an expert sword fighter, she always carries her Electro-sword with her. She has rocket boots too help get around. She is also a very quick learner so has no problem handling different weapons and vehicles.

Astro is rather shy and has to get to know someone first before opening up. She is prone to fits of melancholy and wanting to be alone. Astro can be quiet when she doesn’t feel like talking but if she saying something she feels is important she hate being ignored, Astro secretly likes attention but hates getting it at the same time and gets both delighted embarrassed about being praised.
Astro is generally cool and unruffled but doesn’t take things too seriously. She is a bit of a joker at times, unless she’s on mission where she’s very focused and likes to get the job done. She is very creative, coming up with other plans and ideas if the way ahead looks too risky. While Astro is very independent and usually works alone but doesn’t mind company, as long as they don’t getting her way, then she can get impatient with them. If Astro is annoyed or doesn’t know something, she will do something about it.

Astro is rather insomniac and likes staying up and hates getting up in the morning.
She loves playing computer games (esp. RP ones) and reading She doesn’t like eating much but has a real sweet tooth. Astro has a phobia of giant space centipedes and Patch isn’t a fan of water. Astro isn’t very tidy, her room regularly looks like a bomb has gone off in it.

Astrocat In reply to FelineFire [2007-10-07 21:00:14 +0000 UTC]

^^ Thank you The fireball was something of an afterthought, it was originally going to have speedline for the background. But once I started drawing them it looked like a corridor, then she had to have something behind her or be running away from something ^^
