Description

Advance a couple years...

A ghastly form shrouded in mystery by tattered shreds to hide her face and body from the world who mistreated her.
Her glowing eyes, still full of life only glowed by an undying heart dimly illuminated the space between her face and hood in the darkness. The mask- which represented such a dignified appearance of her species was ruined beyond repair as her own blood filled the cracks around her right eye. Hidden within the folds of discolored fabric the girl would clutch her other arm, as if it had become gimp and unusable. Making sure it was kept from sight. The pearly white skin that she maintained dearly had become tainted and dark, no longer shining for her peers. Her majestic mane had lost some of its volume; becoming matted and discolored. Its synthetic strands would never grow back. Parts of her alloyed wings and appendages had become tarnished from moisture in the air, suggesting she had crawled out of a wet environment and her bodily scent suggested that was so. Permeating nostrils like the inside of old architect.

...it came without warning

Suddenly her eyes would turn red and her gaze went cold. Her good arm released the other as the only article of clothing she possessed slid from her shoulders in the motion, revealing the mangled appendage she had hid away. Shredded wires and metal ligaments flexed in the form of a crude mechanical arm, hand noticeably larger than her other that formed into brutal talons as a clear remainder of her skeletal remnants. The creature opened her mouth to speak, yet no words could be heard. So she would take a step closer- you could faintly hear a whisper. And with each passing step that whisper grew louder as her jaw remained in place. That whisper would reveal itself as to not be words at all- but audible static noise emitting from her throat in the form of a broken transmission. Before you could decipher anything at all, she lunged her mechanical mass upon you that pierced and clutched your body with its broken digits. Her actuators groaned to bring you in to her cold embrace. Only then did you realize she spoke nothing at all.

It was all just empty noise~

Tall and lanky. Medium muscle mass. Metal appendages and internal structure are primary sources of weight.

Race/Class: Galeacoma/Artisan
Humanoid race of mammalian creatures following the HomoSapien genus. Their flexible and quick evolutionary genome allow them to reproduce and pass new traits down quickly to the next generations for environmental adaptation. They are best known for their growth of bio-metals upon their bodies. Leading to each individual to possess their own personal and unique physical image.

Complexion: Pale, velvety skin
Fuzzy like a peach, soft like a marshmallow.

Likes:
Shiny objects, swimming, solitary wonder

Sexuality: Unknown
Scylla's current rampancy has not lead her to find a specific sexual preference. Need more data.

Age: Unknown, appears 20 to her species
Scylla's machine heart yearly mileage has surpassed 1800 years.

Sex: Female
Scylla identifies as her birth sex, even if she doesn't remember it.

Alignment: Lawful Neutral < Neutral Evil
Abides very much to scientific laws of the observed world and attempts to obey or avoid foreign societies to minimize interference. Will never outright go out of her way to harm another in any form, her survival takes top priority.

Eyes: Radiant yellow
Observed to be 'warning' red in dire situations.

Personality: Mysterious, Withdrawn, observant, humble
Scylla is largely a people watcher. She does not like to mingle in large groups or open areas and will do much of what she can to avoid confrontation and be on her way if she feels any interaction will draw too much attention to herself. If she must humor someone, she'll stick it out as best she can till she is able to run at first opportunity.

Dislikes: Being stared at, loud noises, rude punks
Scylla likes to do the watching, but she certainly doesn't like being watched. Loud noises are traumatizing and also hurt Scylla's ears. While she can usually entertain someone briefly, she won't be someones source to pick on for laughs as she LOVES to kick people.

Skill Tiers

A list of Scylla's abilities, both passive and aggressive.
Also lists story equipment that has yet to be discovered.

Master Artisan
Passive skill. Being an Artisan is currently Scylla's prime ability.
A person with "artisanal" skills can be described as one who possesses creativity in skilled, manual labor.
Scylla's programmable mind was successfully imprinted with multiple forms of skillful arts ranging from carpentry, tailoring, jewelry and even into armoring and general metalsmith. While Scylla can pull knowledge from multiple sectors for her use, she focuses on only a couple of area's at a time. The only limit to these abilities would be the required materials and tools or lack thereof as Scylla's creativity contains infinite possibilities.
Current interests:
Carpentry
Arrowsmith/Fletcher
Weaponsmith
Armorer

HUD (Heads Up Display) [1/1]
Passive skill. One of Scylla's hardpoint designs. The HUD displays vital information to the datacore and has multiple monitoring features. Besides displaying a "skeleton" readout of her personal, vital status; Scylla is able to detect and measure most geological and atmospheric data such as temperature changes, precipitation and chemical composition. She is also equipped with software for situational awareness and real-time recording that can go so far as displaying one's heart rate. Scylla possesses no special overlays, but is equipped with an offset 16xOptical zoom that could be useful for precision fire. Perfect for reconnaissance.

PDF-Pistol (Personal Defense Flechette) [0/1]
Currently lost. The PDF Pistol was Scylla's only line of protection when it came to attacks. The Needler Pistol, as it was also called, was a burst-fire spring recoiled defense weapon that used a unique mechanism to break and expel flechette shards of polymer-composite material blocks from the ammo chamber. The Needlers compact design allowed it to be holstered on a wing blade and accessed easily, but it left almost no space for ammunition as the lightning fast fire rate would burn out after three bursts, giving time for a quick escape and leaving any assailant incapacitated.

Electromagnetic Radiation 2/5
Passive/Aggressive skill. EMR is the by-product of energy produced by Scylla's heart. (See Construction page)
EMR has negative effects on biological forms and should be taken seriously when exposure is prolonged. Scylla's abilities are centered around the manipulation of EMR and its devastating side-affects.
Discharge: The passive, low-level irradiation by EMR that's given to a surrounding area by Scylla's presence. Virtually harmless, unless someone sits in close proximity unprotected for extreme periods of time.
Vented Afterburners: EMR and myomer fibers generate excess waste-heat that needs dispersed through the heatsinks that are aligned through Scylla's wings. Recent damage has caused improper heat management to accumulate that needs properly dispersed lest an emergency shutdown be a necessary failsafe for Scylla to operate normally. Panels along Scylla's spine will automatically deploy open to discharge heat safely, but waste energy can actually be charged up and jettisoned aggressively in an effort to 'boost' where a place can not be reached by efforts of MASC alone or burn any would-be attacker with EMR. *A jettisoned discharge from the vents is a DIRECT blast of radiation and contact should be avoided at all costs. In case of exposure, please follow your establishments procedures for decontamination*
Particle Projection: LOCKED
Strobe Arclight: LOCKED
Gamma-ray Blast: LOCKED

MASC [1/2]
Aggressive skill. (See Construction page.)
Only periodically activated for accelerated bursts of speed over land and only applies to the legs.
Missing: Mechanical Jump Boosters / External actuators/wearable leg gear. MJB's are bundles of myomer coiled together that when enabled fire off like a spring. Enabling massive jump potential.
