Full name: Xiu-Xiu Benedict

Home planet: Earth

Age: 105

Abilities: Nanite smartmatter - Xiu-Xiu is composed of a swarm of nanites, capable of reshaping themselves. Her default look is pictured, though when deactivated she's a puddle of silvery liquid. As well as her own mind, the nanites' distributed systems form a computer system with all the benefits of a cranial implant, from data storage and rapid calculations to wireless interface. While the nanites can theoraetically reshape Xiu-Xiu into anything, it takes significant computing power to build complex forms. Without access to the Iris-6's computers, she can only form simple shapes or pre-loaded forms. Her body is resistant to physical damage, but energy-based attacks (Especially electromagnetic) are effective. While Xiu-Xiu is capable of splitting herself, to either be smaller or leave behind objects, she needs a minimum amount of mass for certain functions and if split too far apart is effectively knocked out while simpler subroutines rebuild her neural net.

Skills: Advanced medical training. Wilderness survival. Piloting.

Bio: When earth had to select only three people out of the billions to be the first candidates for the IPT, it was clear they needed the best of the best. Looking through several records, they found Xiu-Xiu Benedict. She started as an EMT, before going on to work for Doctors Without Borders, acting as a pilot and medic for those most in need.

There was just one problem. Xiu-Xiu was retired. More than retired, she couldn't leave her bed without the help of a power-suit. Advanced medication had stopped senility from setting in, but the woman was starting her second century. She'd lived a long life, married a loving woman, had children (With some genetic assistance) and watched them grow up.

Enter the Lazarus Project. A colony of nanites, based on distributed computing and limited self-repair, technology acquired in intergalactic trades, she would be the first human subject. It involved a destructive scan - The nanites would take her apart at the atomic level in order to rebuild Xiu-Xiu's neural network with their own structure. If it went wrong, it would be fatal. But Xiu-Xiu was no starnger to taking risks. Offered her youth back, an opportunity to explore and give aid in a whole universe, and to pioneer a life-changing medical treatment, she didn't need convincing.

The treatment was a success, though the project wants to make sure there are no long-term issues before trying it out again. Xiu-Xiu was reborn as a silvery liquid which, after some practice, assembled itself into Xiu-xiu in her 20s. She spent more time getting used to her new body, spending time with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and visiting her wife's grave before saying her goodbyes, and setting off for IPT training.
