OF THE

  • Aspects

    BLOOD: As an artificially created creature, Sycorax's blood is unnatural, and highly conducive to magic. It has the potential to be honed and refined into various, vastly addictive and potent drugs - though the practice is rare knowledge and rarer skill in the wake of the Collective's dissolution.

    ECHOLOCATION: The chupakri 'base' has plenty of bat-like traits, and echolocation is not unusual among them. This is not a skill she uses often - though considering impending blindness and her tendency to be shrill in general, this will likely change sooner than she'd like.

    MAGIC: Absolutely not. Chupakri are there to be used, not to use. Some chupakri are rumored to know basic cantrips, but she's not figured any out yet - or whether that's something she can harness for herself at all...

    Δ BLOODLINE: The following is currently only known to very few; the various Chupakri varieties and the quirks of each are presently only known to their (absent) creators, the Chupakri themselves, and any savvy owner or confidante with whom these have decided to share information.

    Delta chupakri were the product of the Collective's first success in the field of rapid production of chupakri. Because of that, there are a lot of them, but they also tend to come with... defects. Interestingly, the nature of their production has also connected them on a level that goes well beyond genetic relation. Delta chupakri have a weird ability to check on each other over long distances in a perpetually active psychic network that communicates feelings, projected thoughts, images and words. It's only unintentional sometimes. They can also be used by their non-chupakri bloodbonds to tap into the network, listen in, and sometimes even participate.

    ABILITY: THE PSYCHIC NETWORK

    Whenever enough Delta chupakri gather in a particular place, a psychic network emerges. Delta chupakri on Guildereim have access to a special mental network over which they can communicate telepathically--either intentionally or unintentionally. All chupakri on the network can hear everything that passes over it, and savvy Delta chupakri can use the network to see if another Delta is nearby or offline. Some network activity is 'louder' than others, but usually it isn't too intrusive, like background static.

    Delta blood doesn't appear to do anything special by itself, but a bloodbonded Master can interface with the Delta by resting a hand on their Mark, and thereby gain access to the network for as long as the physical contact is maintained or until the Master is fatigued by the psychic activity.

  • Study - Skill

  • PinRExD.png
  • ADAPTIVE SKILLS: She can already hear remarkably well, can claim to know the feeling of different color paints, and marks her belongings, ink bottles and pigment tubes with unique raised textures. She's also attempted to use a cane, but even remarkable foresight will be undone by Chupakri impulsivity, and it's been used far more often as a tool with which she can freely whack people, instead.
    ALCHEMY: Theory, only. Something has so recently rattled her, something had so inspired and terrified her, that she desires to know more about her origin, about this ultimate act of creation, the esoteric and the exoteric...
    BOOKKEEPING: A skill required by her former master; she's savvy about the process of keeping records of financial transactions and preparing financial statements.
    HANDCRAFT: Primarily woodworking, needlework and sewing.
    LITERACY AND LANGUAGE: Can read and write in English, and is very familiar with the theater and literature of the region.
    PAINTING: Formerly used in service of stage mockups and final designs, she's also a hobbyist; she enjoys various flowers and small animals, is fascinated by the language of flowers, and keeps a folio of small painted portraits. There's a desperation about the latter act; she paints them as if it's a stubborn attempt to commit them to memory.

    "CALIBAN": A very young manaraptor, obtained around the time she'd gained her freedom. A manaraptor resembles a prehistoric microraptor, requires magic to hatch and at birth bonds to the caretaker and adopts the form of magic that had been used to hatch it.

    Caliban is Sycorax's traveling companion; she would insist her 'baby.' She named him and dotes on him as fervently as she is capable of understanding, but they do not always get along, and while she may be Chupakri and a being of magic, she hasn't the slightest idea what the young creature's initial 'imprint' had been.

    Probably because she stole him.

    GOGGLES: She owns a pair of goggles with strongly tinted lenses. They don't do much for any long term issues aside from looking fairly sharp, but they help with the photosensitivity.

    SKETCHBOOK: A folio she's recently had bound; a collection of papers and notes scrounged up from her time in captivity, as well as newer notes and small sketches and studies, and a sizeable amount of blank pages ready to be filled.

    ---

    She pushed the book she'd been drawing in over; inside were plenty of studies. Many were of Caliban goofing around; there were a couple of Kujoh and Amallia, and fainter letters something else, largely in Latin and some in what appeared to be middle-German, noodling in between them all, scribbled like a hasty memory with far less purpose in the strokes. More seemed to be sketches to stay sharp; landscapes, flattened and pressed into two dimensions, the scenery of the city interpreted through the lens of a little theatrical set. Some scribbles only barely covered some ideas, here. She'd ran her fingers gently, absently over the own marks she'd made even as her focus seemed entirely on Effie.

    Soon, too, Effie's book got the same tactile treatment. And unfortunately, she didn't really seem wholly aware she was doing it.

      I don't remember who said something like 'A lie told often enough becomes the truth' or 'what is the truth but a lie agreed upon' but I know I've read things like that before leaving my master's house.

      There has to be something to it, right? They wouldn't put it down in a book so surely if not.

      I've pretended enough that I was strong and capable and more than Hybrid so many times that I would have liked to believe it. It was nice. It helped my friends. I think it helped me, too.

      I really want it to work one more time.
