[hider=Command Seal:] [img]https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/b/butterfly-shape-10621767.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hr] [b]Personality:[/b] She is very antisocial and sultry person, who dedicates all of her time into a refining her magic arts, as such she has always been distant and cold to others, not caring for such unless they directly concern to that of her extremely narrow interests. With her skills at her artes being the thing that is most proud of. As such, she is extremely inexperienced and awkward in socializing herself, being extremely blunt and often outright insulting, thus looking like she is arrogant. She also believes that she will never be lonely as long as she has her machines as companions. [b]Bio: [/b] A famous specialist from the Clocktower that has already been alive for a long time. Her skills at her specialities are renowned but at everything else, she is at most average and at worst she is abysmal. The family started off as a branch of the Eulyphis family, working in the field of liquid manipulation for generations till they decided to focus everything they had on the art of Automation, leaving their old magic behind. She is a prodigy of her magic and the only child of the previous family head, at a young age, she has been traumatized with the death of her father and most close relative and has been dedicating herself completely to her field in her memory. Since childhood she has always been a bright child with deep interest towards the working of steam machines, with it’s hydrodynamics being a point of much study to her. It has reached the point where there is nothing more that she loves in the world than the automations. She has been at the Clocktower for a long time, first as a student and then as a professor, studying and refining her artes and skills. But as time has passed, Automatons have been fallen out of grace more and more for favor of Puppets. This has been extremely disgruntling for her, who see the shadow of her father in this beloved magic’s, and thus it is her objective to revive this field into prominence once again. In order to do so, she decided to integrate the old family magic with the new, to create something new that would be better than either of the old ones. And with an ultimate objective of creating something that is beyond all that is known, a machine god that is the culmination of all that is machine, an ultimate existence of pure logic and order. [hr] [b]Magic Circuit Switch:[/b] The beating of her heart. [b]Number of Magic Circuits:[/b] A [b]Quality of Magic Circuits:[/b] C [b]Elemental Affinity:[/b] Water & Wind [hr] [b]Magecraft:[/b] •[b]General Magecraft:[/b] Basic Magecraft learned by every magus in the clockwork tower, it includes basics of formalcraft, magic theory and others minor subjects. As she is more of a specialist than a generalist, her skill at this is at best average. [hr] •[b]Automation Construction:[/b] A field of magic that involves the creation of highly complex machines that simulate biological beings. They might be made to be indistinguishable in exterior from normal beings or be plainfully obvious at it. It’s a dying field, however XXX is a prodigy and has been at it for a very long time. [hr] •[b]Liquid Manipulation:[/b] A magic that uses both the element of Water and Wind to control liquids. His family has been working on this for quite some time, though it has been rather abandoned in favor of Automation in recent generations, but she is also a prodigy at this art and has greatly focus in it’s studies. [hr] •[b]Spiritual Evocation:[/b] As a branch family of the Eulyphis family(heads of the spiritual evocation department), the Acker family inherited a lot of knowledge and continued on it’s study of this particular field even after they started to focus on Automata’s. It’s a particular magic that involves the summoning and usage of spirits. [b]Crest:[/b] 6 generations. [hr] [b]Weapon/Mystic Code:[/b] •[b]Hundred Armed Mercury Automata:[/b] This is at this moment, the peak of her artes, her great experiment of fusing two magic into something new. This is an automation which incorporates mercury as it’s lifeblood, serving in an auxiliary working of its many internal systems(such as muscles, nervous system, blood and so on) and even having entire systems (such as healing, weapons and so on)made entirely out of mercury, as thus it is a highly complex machine that of such degree that there shouldn’t be many which are more complex than in it in the entire world. It is a humanoid-looking automation, made with such care as to look like the same as a human being, though it possess a hundred arms, but it has the ability to hide them as they aren’t necessary most of the time. It is made of a variety of materials, most of them being magically treated as to lighten it’s weight(an important thing when considering that automation are made out of metals) and enhance it’s durability and resistance to stress, also as it is a machine it has strength beyond a man and agility to match. It houses a hundred and one spirits, one in each arm, except for a central higher class spirit of a certain martial artist which oversees and manages all others. It is thus grant the Automata great degree of autonomy and capability to obey some more complex orders. To control the mercury in it’s body, it possess a mystic code specially made in order to self regulate it’s systems and thus it acts as a ‘heart’ to the automation. The mercury is able to do self-repair to some extent, be it able to graft limbs back, manually replace components, or even temporarily assume the form of said components in emergencies. It’s also serve in the roles of attack, defense and scouting for the machine, who keep additional mercury, not necessary for the working of said machine as reserve. Curiously, it’s commonly dressed as maid, probably because of a certain someone tastes. Despite all it’s strengths, it’s still a new prototype, so it’s expected to have several faults and bugs left to resolve. [hr] •[b]Butterflies Automata:[/b] A set of flying Automatas with the form of butterflies. They are excellent for scouting and recon, though not serving much aside to that. Each of them houses a spirit in order to have some more autonomy. •[b]Exceptional Benefit:[/b] Supply Lines [/hider]
