September Challenge: Cricket by Macattack

Well you said I should enter so BAM here I am, last day and in I go. I decided most of you probably already know about Wireless so here's a completely different character. Meet Cricket! She's an alien from Sectoid 9, a planet made entirely of half insect half human people. When not in her battle armor she looks almost human except for her dragonfly wings (which she can pull into a beetle shell on her back with some effort) her skin has a slight greenish tint, her eyes are yellow and green, she has anteni, and her legs appear to be almost twice as long as she should be. She wears an old obsolete set of Sectoid 9 armor, has extensive battle knowledge, can jump small buildings, can lift 10 times her own weight, can fly, has excelent senses, and is armed with an electrically charged axe with a handle that can extend into a two handed battle axe.
Cricket was a captain of Sectoid 9, a war planet of insectoids. When their planet was invaded she failed in a duty which she does not like to talk about and was thereby banished from the planet to wander the universe with nothing more than a run down freighter and an old obsolete set of Sectoid 9 armor. Though she has wandered many galaxies, Cricket has found a home on earth finding it both naive and fascinating. She's an honorable girl who always loves a good fight but believes in watching out for those who she's in charge of. She currently works as a bounty hunter of sorts but has often thought of joining up with a hero group.
And there we go. If you have anyone you want to enter in make sure to e-mail me before midnight and I'll do my best to get them up. Don't forget to check back with the forums tomorrow for the beginning of the October challenge!
Thanks everyone for all the excitement you put in to this first month! It's been loads of fun and I hope for this to take off even more as time goes on!
