[b]History:[/b] When Kioko was 10, her family fled to the Kojiki Arcology as refugees, displaced by a disastrous Deep One invasion of Seattle that was repelled, but not before the fighting had reduced most of the city to rubble.  After arriving at Kojiki Arcology with naught but what they could carry in their car, the family set themselves up over the next few years as eccentric, reliable booksellers, eventually setting up a two-story bookstore, Books of Wonder, in the downtown area of the arcology.

While her family was setting themselves up in their new home, Kioko slowly became known for her knowledge, and her habit of keeping her distance from nearly everyone after a certain point.  This self-isolationism has left her with very few friends, although she is familiar with most of the students in her year.

[b]Personality:[/b] Kioko is an outwardly kind and happy person with a ready smile, who usually has a book (or books) close at hand.  She is also an optimistic realist, knowing that true evil exists in the world, but firmly believing that good (or at least justice) can win out in the end.  However, her escape from the ruins of of Seattle, and the subsequent move across the world have left Kioko feeling like she is without a solid home, as if she doesn’t truly belong anywhere.  Because of this, while she is friendly with everyone, she finds it extremely difficult to actually befriend others, subconsciously believing that “If I have to run again, friendships and closeness will only bring pain, so why bother?”

Her symbiote is pushing her to connect with people both more frequently, and to a deeper degree, firmly believing (and forcing that belief onto Kioko) that the closer one is connected to people, the better they can fight to save them, not considering the effect on its host when those people are hurt or killed.

[b]Notes:[/b] Kioko is ambidextrous

[b]Natural weapons:[/b]  
[b]Right Arm: Bio-Bolt:[/b]  Caduceus can fire darts filled with a number of concoctions out of a set of symbols on her right hand as a single-target attack.
Concoctions and Venoms: 
 - Regen: Greatly enhances a Tagers natural regeneration for a short time.
 - Boost: Customize-able buff that enhances one trait of an ally (e.g. strength, speed, senses).
 - Stun: A paralytic agent useful for capturing weaker opponents and making tougher opponents easier to defeat (It can fully paralyze a weaker enemy, but stronger ones may only be slowed, for example).

[b]Left Arm: Bio-Blaster:[/b]  This ‘grenade launcher’ is in fact a mystical Area of Effect attack cast from symbols on the palm of her left hand. 3 meter blast radius.
Grenade Effects:
 - Darkness: blankets the afflicted area in a mist that blinds any Dhoanoids within the area, and shows their outlines to linked tagers.
 - Flash-bang: An extremely powerful flash of light, coupled with a very loud explosion, leaves targets temporarily blinded and disoriented.
 - Explosive: A magical explosion that damages enemies and terrain that hasn't been reinforced.

[b]Left Arm: Injection Blade:[/b] This melee weapon is a stabbing weapon that can be used to inject any of the bolt potions into a target, lashing out similarly to how a mantis shrimp strikes its targets, or being extended fully and used as a more traditional blade.  This weapon is usually used as a last resort.

[b]Limit Weapon: Black Tentacles:[/b] Caduceus performs a verbal summoning rite and dozens of small summoning circles appear off of any solid surface, and once the rite is completed the portals, maximum total radius of 5 meters, open and untold amounts of tentacles pour out from their sealed envelope in space, hungry for flesh, bone, and soul.  Any who get entangled within their grasp are sapped of their life force, while Caduceus’ allies are rejuvenated and refreshed.  [Insert Size of Portals]

[b]Abilities:[/b] Flight, Compound Sight (The ability to track multiple independent targets at once, even at great distances, as well as the ability to immediately identify Dhoanoids and active magic within visible range), Mind Link (The ability to link with other shifted Tagers to form a tactical network, sharing senses between linked tagers and displaying a sort of mini-map to all members of the link), and Healers Vision (This allows Caduceus to see health and status of a focused target, friend or foe, within visual range).

[b]Personality traits:[/b] The Caduceus ta’ge give their hosts a driven need to save everyone they possibly can, and to further that aim by connecting with as many people as possible.  The ta’ge idealizes friendships and loving relationships for this purpose, although it doesn’t necessarily understand these relationships.

[b]Hybrid Form:[/b] When in hybrid form, Kiokos eyes become compounded, like that of a bug, and glow the color of polished gold.  She gains the Compound Sight, Healers Vision, and Mind Link abilities.
