Backstory
In the end, everyone dies. Even Kazu Kurusu, seemingly immortal in his time, could not escape this. However, the tales of Kazu lived on. Stories about his unnatural strength, speed and cunning were told around the world. Those tales were what inspired the Allionic Government to start "Project Dragonfang".

Kazu had died centuries ago but his weapon of choice, the Dragonfang Glaive, was excavated from the ruins of Shou Lung's ancient palaces. The magical properties of the glaive preserved Kazu's DNA for centuries. The Allionic Empire caught wind of this discovery and stole the glaive, marking the beginning of Project Dragonfang. At the time, the Empire had a desire for a powerful, nearly superhuman group of soldiers.

Thus, they extracted Kazu’s DNA from the glaive and artificially created five “children” of Kazu, each one faster and stronger than the last. Kassandra was the eldest and alongside her siblings Kane, Kaari, Kadmiel and Kaiser were forced through grueling training to turn them all into the perfect soldier. Furthermore, to enhance their capabilities in the field each one was given cybernetic enhancements, which was how Kassandra first acquired her cybernetic left arm.

However, over the years it became evident to Kassandra’s superiors that due to her being the first child created she was also the most flawed. She refused to take innocent life even when forced to and valued the safety of others over herself, much like her biological father. This wasn’t what the Allionic Empire wanted. They wanted an unstoppable killing machine who wouldn’t question orders no matter what. One night, the other four siblings were ordered to kill Kassandra and bring her head back to their superiors. Her siblings being completely loyal to the Empire obeyed. Kassandra was nearly killed but managed to escape the military facility. She travelled to a nearby slum, where she now lives and works as a mercenary.
