DESDERDA FILES.
GADGET • LIFEBREATHER
FULL NAME: Naveal Saelphilin
AGE: 176
GENDER: Female
SEXUALITY: Bisexual
SPECIES: Elf
EXP. TYPE: GADGET
APPEARANCE
• HAIR: Blood red, kept short
• EYES: Blood red
• HEIGHT: 5'2
• MARKINGS / TATTOS: Numerous surgical scars across the body
• SKIN TONE: Fair
OTHER: Naveal was born the runt of the family, making her quite short of her race. On top of that, she was never really athletic or muscular. In fact, even into her 'teen' years (About ages 100 - 200) she hasn't grown much in the way one would expect a woman would. As such, she has thin hips, and her chest is barely there. Her blood red hair is kept short and tidy, out of the way of whatever she happens to be working on. When she was younger, she lost her right leg in one of her... ordeals, now replaced with a mechanical one.
She has virtually no taste in clothing. She just wears what she has around and what's clean, regardless of how it looks. She had never been very particular. She often has a look of vacancy on her face, as if she is permanently zoned out.
ABILITIES
- Lifebreathing: Using a complex combination of magic, her techopathy, and modern computer AI, this ability is able to instill 'life' into inanimate, technological objects. The process takes time, so it cannot be done on the fly.
- Technopathy: The ability to control technology with the mind. This ability has its limits.
- Consciousness Transfer: This ability allows the user to connect with technology and control it as if she was in it's body. Similar to Technopathy, but much more hands-on, direct and reliable. Using this ability leaves the user defenseless.
- Cyborg: By adding and linking a computer processor and memory to the human brain, the user is able to think and calculate much more quickly, as well as being able to identify objects much more quickly than usual. Users often speak as if they're computers, in percentages and such.
- Mind Shield: Using complex methods, and benefited by Cyborg, this ability prevents intruders from altering her brain or thought processes in any way. Those attempting to do so will think that it has worked, though no real effect will occur.
- Weapon Affinity: The user is automatically able to use any weapon she can get her hands on, regardless of previous knowledge. While it may not be used to maximum efficiency at first, the user will quickly learn how to harness it's power fully.
HISTORY
As stated above, Naveal was born the runt of the family. In a war-like race such as the Elves, this was not something that guaranteed her a happy life... quite the opposite. She was never able to train with her siblings, and would often sit on the sidelines as they did their thing. It wasn't long before she was deemed a disgrace to her entire clan. With the threat of banishment and disassociation, she needed to come up with a reason to justify her existence, and quick.
Even so, it takes years for anything to get done in the Elf world. it took her a few years to find her calling... and it came in the form of oragami, at first. A strange calling, no? Well, she quickly became amazing with those little squares of paper, creating things both amazing in their beauty and sheer engineering brilliance. Some were impressed, some were not. She needed more than that.
Her true calling came knocking one day when making an origami monkey out of a large piece of paper. By using specific magical techniques, she had found she had an ability unlike any other in her clan. The monkey began to move. At first, her creations could only move on their own, and couldn't do much else. Soon, though, after some serious experimentation, she developed techniques allowing her creations to think for themselves, almost as if they were given life. While this was only a very advanced form of magical AI, the clan didn't care. She was given the nickname Lifebreather, and soon, she was an accepted member of the clan. Her creations became objects of serious respect... mechanical birds to deliver messages that would never tire and could travel much faster, simple lifting machines able to adjust themselves... it was truly a sight to behold.
After a while, though, her skill-set became known to another group. Desderda came to her and offered her the chance of a lifetime. In return for staging her own death and coming to live in a secured location, she would be given nearly infinite funding and tools to work with, as long as she created things useful to them. Needless to say, she was quick to shed the clan that had scorned her, faking her own death. She even cut off her own leg and left it behind to make it seem all the more real. She was declared dead by the clan, and soon began her life at Desderda.
For for years, she did nothing but research and experimentation... at least, that's how it appeared. her superiors soon grew cross with her, not pleased with the amount of money and materials she had gone through simply because she 'was working on something'. Another year passed... and they finally gave her an ultimatum. She could either produce something worthwhile, or she would be removed from the organization... a fancy term for her getting her throat slit while she slept. Obviously this had quite an effect on her, but she was already working on something that would certainly wow them. She just didn't want anyone seeing it until it was completed.
In a short while, Desderda acted upon it's threat. One of the Pandora units was dispatched to her workshop in order to 'remove her from the organization'. What he found there frightened even him... and seeing as little was left of him but a bloodstain on the wall, it was something pretty damn strong too. Naveal videotaped the entire battle, labeling it 'ANDII2-DRAGOON LIVE WEAPONS TEST'. When the video found it's way to the higher-ups of Desderda... well, needless to say, her funding wasn't cut. In fact, she was requested to continue on her tangent of research, and she has done so to this day.
(The ANDII2-DRAGOON is the automation in the above picture.)
