OVER 18? Yes
CHARACTERS IN-GAME: Ren Amamiya

CHARACTER
NAME: Lash
CANON: Advance Wars, Dual Strike
CANON POINT: End of Game (changed to Allied Alliance Side)
AGE: 18 (estimated)
BACKGROUND: End of game, after Sturm is defeated

Background: http://advancewars.wikia.com/wiki/Lash (As a note, Advance Wars characters in general have very little information given about them, this is the most I could find. If you'd like me to write something more for better information, I would be glad to be of service!)
Cliff notes version:
- The world appears to have five factions: Orange Star (modeled after United States of America), Yellow Comet (Japanese), Green Earth (European Countries), Blue Comet (Canada and Russia) and Black Hole (Aliens, Science Fiction and Germany). Everyone's army is color coded because no one questions it.
- Black Hole basically tries to take over, and the others form an alliance to take them down.
- Black Hole has advance technology, and most of it is credited to Lash. Imagine having the most powerful and efficient army...and a sixteen year old is responsible for its innovations since she was a child.
- Each fraction has Commanding Officers that have powers that include everything from controlling weather, summoning tsunamis to having tanks climb mountains sideways. Somehow this is perfectly normal.
- Seriously the world is called Wars World, how does anyone even expect this place to be Peaceful for 10 minutes?!
- She built this giant death laser
- Basically this comic

PERSONALITY:
Lash is a child of Chaos, Discord and Science. She served for a long time in an alienish army hellbent on world domination, but she didn't help out because she gave two shits, nor because she was evil (which she can be) or even because she as forced into it, no no, Lash was there because of SCIENCE. You know the local mad scientist? Imagine if they are barely approaching adult age and spoiled with no one saying they can't do something. Well unless your name is commanding officer Hawke and you're rejecting her building a self-destruction button for an air base.

Batshit insane in a somehow cute, odd way, the Wunderkind has little concern for moral or virtues. She's the goddamn queen of the universe, and SHE decides what she wants to do, when she wants, and no one can stop her when her mind is set on something. She was raised without being punished for harming others, only learning to be tolerable towards friends when she fought with Orange Star after a series of events caused her and Hawke to switch sides. But there are many instances where she sent soldiers on their merry way, not caring if they win or lose, as long as she's had her fun.

While she's mostly not an evil person anymore (one could call it 'evil when it suits me'), Lash lives for war; it's in her blood and how she was raised, her motivation to get up each morning. Being in a city and asked to stay there and generate Chrome is going to be weird for her; usually she's cities topping over or capturing them! She still doesn't understand fully what is happening but given the opportunity, she is always looking at making someone's base explode if that's what this place needs. Lash can be somewhat polite to her enemies when a fight starts, preferring to introduce herself before things start blowing up, but will retaliate any witty banter sent her way with five-year old name calling. Even friends aren't safe, she has pet names for ~*everyone*~.

At times her old personality likes to reappear, and the rush of killing might cause her to act a little different than normal. It's a strange sight to see, her ruthless personality is married with an almost child-like innocence. Sometimes it's a lack of ethics in general, when she might offer something to another in an attempt to help, but said thing used to help might cause more harms to others (that she doesn't care for so that's no problem as far as she's concerned!)

Her over-confidence sometimes causes her to underestimate others; after all, she's the wunderkind genius, her chess pieces are already set and there's no way she could lose. She might tantalize with a few facts about what she's planning before fighting – and that information might lead to her own downfall. She takes a loss like a game. There's a next time, and if she finds that a battle isn't in her favor, she might desert early, leaving her own allies to fend for themselves. Granted the situation is much more different now, but she still remains a sour loser and will pout and whine before leaving. See how her foes like that!

It's somewhat amazing that things others take for granted are alien for her. Concepts like proper table manners and being polite and friendship were not part of her daily routine and she only picked those up (although not very efficiently) when a fellow Commanding Officer from Green Earth, Jess, tried to teach her. And even then, she called her crazy and screamed to be saved from this clearly terrible agony that is HOLDING A FORK. Living a secluded life dedicated to science and war in Black Hole did have huge drawbacks, especially when it comes to socialization. Lash is less-than modest, enjoying reminding others how HER inventions that helped the war efforts. So imagine going into a world where physical contact is important.

Yeah she will be so confused.

Her childish antics and somewhat crazy dual nature have caused others to underestimate her, but don't be fooled, Lash is no pushover. She's been trained in self-combat, close quarters combat, created most of what was the then current war machines of Black Hole and served a Commanding Officer. That's a pretty hefty portfolio for a young adult who's barely an adult. Being raised since birth for war, there is a deep resonating respect for her leaders, even if she might act otherwise. Sure she'll still pout and call you a meanie head, but she'll do it. You can trust Lash to never attempt to take over, staying behind the lines and being a faithful commandant, a huge grin on her face. The only reason she left Black Hole was because the new higher ups wanted her dead (they didn't want to take over the world, but rather destroy the world and become immortal! Those fiends.) and she had to be dragged away by Hawke. When Hawke proposes and alliance with Orange Star, Lash thinks he's gone off the deep end, but does it anyway cause she was told to do it.

For someone who likes to think about ways to kill things so often, you'd be surprised at how she has a very positive outlook on life. Lash rarely wakes up feeling depressed, and she's always smiling and joyful, even her bouts of pouting have a musical intonation to them. It is all about movement vs boredom. There needs to be action for her to be happy. Sitting twiddling her thumbs is incredibly boring, she has to work on something or see the effects of them.

Woe to those near her when Lash utters "I'm soooo bored!"

Run.

And never, ever look back...you might find a gun pointed your way. But don't worry! She'll make sure you know before shooting. Maybe.

POWERS/ABILITIES:
BRAINS BRAINS BRAINS
Her mind is always thinking about building, changing, improving. She created a bunch of black crystals that siphoned energy out of the planet and a 500 feet tall DEATH RAY to protect a base.


Terrain | Terrain Prime Tactics
No one really knows how Cosmo Land's Commanding Officers get their powers, or if they are picked because they do, but they provide otherworldly skills to those who would follow under them.

In Lash's case, it's giving gravity the middle finger. Those serving in the same unit or bound to her will find most terrain a walk in the park to them once she uses her powers – even mountains seem like no trouble to climb if she's close to you. So you know, want to climb buildings like spiderman? Ask Lash to help.

This is made even more deadly when she activates her powers in strike mode. Strike Modes is releasing all the store up energy within herself and will then require a few days to recharge...unless her friends start to get hurt or someone recharges her (I'm going to assume Chrome would also help a lot). Yes, Lash basically gets stronger when her allies get harmed. Sometimes she might just do it on purpose just to speed things along.

Don't question it.

The normal version is called Terrain Tactics and not only allow easy movement, but gives anyone "attached" to her additional attack and defense power. (Think of it as casting a permanent Power and Magic Boost for ten minutes)

The more powerful version is called Prime Tactics and gives an even bigger attack and defense boosts that lasts for a full twenty minutes.

INVENTORY:
- One Egg in her pocket (don't look at me, it was mentioned in the game, I don't even know if it's a hard boiled one or not)
- One laser gun
- One self destruction contraption (with bright red button)
- One piece of broken black crystal (tm)
- One Totally not a DS clone with a copy of something that is the original Famicom Wars (also mentioned in game)

MOONBLESSING:
Sanguis
Of course she would want something that lets her START FIRES!!!! Yes this is basically 100% because of that.
