Perfect World Entertainment announced Livelock's final playable character today. Her name is Catalyst and she inhabits a battle chassis called The Few. Her weaponry consists of various guns, including one that fires a steady laser beam. From what is seen in the trailer, it seems that her abilities are primarily AoEs, including the ability to drop a barrage of rockets on enemies, the ability to place an object that pulls enemies in before exploding, and some sort of buff or support ability for allies.

Catalyst's backstory is as follows.

A trained soldier, skilled fighter and born leader, Catalyst rounds out the Capital Intellects inhabiting the battle chassis known as The Few. Pre-cataclysm, Catalyst was a member of the Armed Forces, carrying on her family’s legacy of military service. Her functions in battle are enabled by a small squad of combat drones she commands. Though the Earth’s battlefields have changed, a new war wages across its surface and Catalyst seeks to uphold the honor of her family.
