[hider=S.C.E.P.T.R.E][img]http://i.imgur.com/DUy9isw.png[/img] [b]Full Name:[/b] System for Citadel Engagement Protocol, Tactics, Recon and Education [b] Nicknames/Aliases:[/b] SCEPTRE [b]Age[/b]: [Unknown. Biological components appear somewhere in her early to mid twenties.] [b]Gender[/b]: Female [b]Gift:[/b] [Unknown] [b]Loyalty[/b]: Erubesco [b]Description:[/b] SCEPTRE's biological component stands at about 5'7, an angular-looking woman with blue-black hair. She has high cheekbones and a naturally pale complexion, only enhanced by spending a long time indoors. While not exactly intimidating in stature, she carries herself with an unsettlingly artificial manner, and doesn't seem to blink, something that tends to unnerve people. Her do not look human. Because they aren't. The eyes are entirely synthetic and offer a glimpse into the internal workings. The irises glow white, something that becomes fair more noticeable in the dark, and they have no visible pupil as all the surface under the lens has functional photoactive cells. Her speech sounds rather synthesized, and isn't especially good at conveying tone. Is generally seen in some close-fitting, synthetic clothing that bears the project acronym and is made specifically to fit SCEPTRE, having gaps so as not to obscure the multiple peripherals grafted into her skin. Possesses some exposed circuitry at the top of her spine, and plug-like interfaces on her back, shoulders, and arms. [b] Personality: [/b] Cold. ‘Friendly’ and ‘helpful’ are not exactly the words you might use to describe SCEPTRE. Those expecting a cheery, personal assistant type tone on invoking her attention are generally sorely disappointed to be met with a frosty indifference. SCEPTRE is partly designed for direct interaction with staff in order to answer questions, so she doesn’t refuse requests, but she’s not always especially polite or sympathetic regarding the problems of others, often crossing into straight into rudeness. SCEPTRE may often come across as emotionally flat, very rarely seeming openly happy or sad about anything. It's led most people to conclude that the individual has little in the way of human individuality or personality, existing simply as a kind of barely-human avatar of the Citadel's data banks and defence system. This theory however can be tested by her tendency to 'encounter a glitch' that locks people between two blast doors when they are rude to her on comms. [b] Skills:[/b] -Near limitless memory and access to all of the Citadel's database on personnel. -Extremely intelligent. -Technological interface means SCEPTRE is able to accomplish far more in a very short space of time than most people would be able to. [b] Weaknesses:[/b] - SCEPTRE is not permitted to leave the Citadel. -Her emotional flatness means her ability to talk people into....pretty much anything is pretty limited. [b]Brief History:[/b] SCEPTRE is the result of a project commissioned by weapons development at Erubesco's primary military base, The Citadel, as a means for both powering and defending the HQ from attack. Taking children and integrating them with the base’s computer system to serve as both the base’s power source, its main data centre, and the controller of many of its functions, the biological part of the construct’s mind allowing for the adaptability and flexibility only present within a living thing, and allowing it to actively avoid damage and hazards. The project produced a number of failed attempts, with many being driven mad by the constant stream of data. Who SCETRE way before she was SCEPTRE is largely unknown, as well as what actually went into the construction of this crime against nature. What people are a lot more certain of it that she has proved to be quite an asset to Erubesco and its operations. SCEPTRE can be seen around the HQ fairly frequently, though never leaves it. She hasn’t stepped outside in years, and has little intention of doing so. Within it however, SCEPTRE has more or less free run, and is provided with most of what she asks for by the top brass. A highly successful project whose presence adds a desirable additional layer of security to the base, and also acts as an impartial, unsleeping, always-online point of contact to active operatives in the field. She tends to more or less manage herself. [/hider]
