Mandarina="Name:  Mandarina|Age:   30|Race:  Human|(Ion Enhanced)||Data:|Severely injured and permanently disfigured, there was thought to be little chance of survival for Mandarina after she was maimed in a freak accident during her training for the first Tournament. But thanks to modern nano-technology and an experimental Ion Fusion power suit that she is now bonded to for life, her body, and her appetite for Tournament competition, has been rejuvinated. She carries a small plasma detonator on her thigh to ensure that if she's going down, she's taking everyone within a 100 yard radius with her. For her suffering, Mandarina seeks a debt of blood sacrifice...||...yours.||"

COMMENTS:

This is my first 'released' skin for for the Unreal series, though I have a couple that will probably never see the light of day because their theme has been over-used or they just plain look like crap. Mandarina frustrated the shit out of me during her creation. I spent a lot of time trying to clean up edges, seams, and bleed-overs, but I am pleased with the end result. Yes, she is basically just a recolor of the Prism skin, and she also contains elements of cut & paste from UT and other UT2k3 default skins. If you are opposed to these practices, don't download her just so you can flame me in the forums about it. After all, I originally made her for MY personal use, but decided to release her to the great UT community that has given me so many cool free skins, maps, mods, etc. If the community seems to like her, I might try my hand at another skin. If they don't, then I'm done. I spent too much time on a skin people might think is dog poo. Credit goes to Epic, Digital Extremes, the people behind Upaint, and anyone else I forgot to mention... as I only supplied Mandarina's visual compilation. I hope you enjoy her.
