She identified herself as 'Alice' and superficially appeared to be a young girl in her early-to-mid adolescence. Although upon closer inspection, and provided Alice wasn't trying to disguise herself, one could notice a few oddities about her. Her irises looked more similar to a digital projection than normal human eyes, her fair unblemished skin seemed [i]too[/i] perfect, and most glaringly of all, the holographic projection of pixel-esque shapes floating a few inches above her scalp. In truth, Alice hailed from a parallel universe distinct from Earth's own, specifically from 'Arret', a terrestrial planet not unlike that of Earth. However, most civilizations on Arret had progressed far beyond even the most developed nations on Earth in terms of technology. Things that'd be considered firmly within the realms of sci-fi were no fiction at all for the people of Arret; teleporters, universal panacea, FTL, and precise gene tailoring were but a few of their wonders. However, no matter how miraculously advanced civilizations were, one thing always remained true, whether here or there, war never changes... On Arret, supranational unions waged war with one another, each vying for complete supremacy. These multinational blocs were mostly equal with one another, leading to a seemingly-endless conflict that had spanned for so long, global conflict became ubiquitous for the people of Arret. Alice was born-... no, [i]made[/i] in Xaltha, one of the Arretian superpower blocs. She's a synthetic cyborg, a peerless amalgamation of organic biology and mechanical apparatus, state-of-the-art living weapons manufactured by the supranational government under the top secret project dubbed 'Wonderland'. Essentially designer-baby clones augmented with bleeding edge cybernetics, each 'Alice' was a veritable weapon of mass destruction, capable of inflicting catastrophic devastation through psychically manipulating the fabric of space-time, all packaged in the facsimile of a young girl. They were so deadly that multiple failsafes were implemented to keep them in line, but at the crux of it all was the 'Red Queen', an artificial superintelligence specifically designed to act as the Alices' handler. The Red Queen - under directives from the highest echelons of Xaltha's government - managed the Alices like some sort of hive mind overlord: imposing mental conditioning, suppressing or amplifying certain bodily functions, sealing or unsealing their psychokinetic powers, etc. All in all, the semi-sentient AI made sure each Alice stayed obedient to their puppetmasters, keeping a stranglehold around their figurative strings. However, what would happen if one of them became lost in an entirely different universe, one far outside the Red Queen's domain? Twas' exactly what one Earthborne fashion empire heir would find out soon enough... [/indent] [/hider]
