[b]Name:[/b] Annette Kynbrough [b]Age:[/b] 23 [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Race/Place of Origin:[/b] Half-Thalodreal, Half-Human from Orvalis [b]Appearance:[/b] [url=https://i.imgur.com/gmyEOLk.png]A very petite girl despite her ancestry, her height below 152 cm/5'0 at around 139 cm/4'7. She has light purple eyes, fair skin, and platinum blonde hair. Her clothing is black and cream, with pale purple and pink details, and her staff is tipped with gold and a purple gem.[/url] [b]Scripts or Executables:[/b] As a follower of Metis, Annette is capable of utilizing a number of specialized Executables. Most commonly used within her library are two utility Executables, Thought Acceleration and Thought Partitioning. Already a fast thinker, Thought Acceleration permits a process best described by Annette as 'overclocking my frontal lobe' in order to arrive at conclusions and solve problems with extreme swiftness. At its lowest level, it doubles the speed of Annette's thoughts, and she is almost always utilizing this level of Thought Acceleration. At its higher level, Annette is capable of instantaneous solutions, but this poses a considerable risk of severe headaches or even unconsciousness. Thought Partitioning allows Annette to divide her thinking process into multiple, separate instances, running multiple trains of thought at once. For example, this can allow her to solve a puzzle while maintaining conversation or preparing for a study without distracting her from any of her tasks. Annette usually has at least one partition active. Compression is an Executable that targets a space or object and causes it to temporarily change size, becoming smaller in dimension until it reaches a target size. Compression can target a space or object of up to 9 meters. While the object's size changes, neither its shape nor its density are altered. This means that a large object that is compressed to a smaller size will become extremely dense. By utilizing Thought Acceleration, Annette can deploy a vastly accelerated form of Compression that she refers to as 'Spatial Crush'. It swiftly compresses an area of up to 3 meters and everything inside of it, commonly utilized for the purposes of self-defense. Repulsion is an Executable that allows Annette to push any object, including herself, away from any other object by designating two targets. The first being the object to be pushed, and the second being the object it is to be pushed away from. This can allow her to move objects far heavier then her physical strength would permit, but it also functions on gases or other less substantial forms of matter. Its most common use is Annette targeting the ground and herself, allowing her to hover(usually while riding her staff). Annette's final Executable is Psychometry, which allows her to gather and read information by coming into direct physical contact with an object. This requires the use of her bare hands, and thus is unsuitable for anything hazardous. While it cannot paint a perfect picture of the object's past, it allows for extrapolation based on what can be absorbed by its use. Additionally, Annette possesses a line of defense devised by using two of her Executables in rapid succession. Using Compression to condense air to an extreme degree, the heat and pressure converts the elements in the air into plasma. This creates an extremely hot, dangerous projectile which is then hurled towards a target in a beam-like state by using Repulsion. The product of consistent experimentation and effort, Annette's Plasma Beam is a powerful tool of self-defense that may also have other applications as well. [b]Equipment:[/b] Annette's primary piece of equipment is her staff, Solais. Solais is a multi-purpose tool that is also useful for her Executables, primarily Repulsion as it allows her to designate the staff as the object from which the target will be repulsed. She also rides it, and the crystal at the top can glow and be used as illumination in dark locations. Annette also frequently rises Solais while using Repulsion to hover above the ground. [b]Academic Qualifications:[/b] From a young age, Annette possessed a keen interest in science. While her egotistical nature meant she was often difficult to instruct(coupled with her frequent forays into exploring knew knowledge for herself), it was only natural that she would become an Executor of Metis. She took to following Metis eagerly, but rather then dedicate herself to the god she instead viewed her worship as a way to gain more knowledge for herself. Excited by the process of learning even more then the result, Annette frequently dove into research topics and other scholarly pursuits, intent on deepening her own knowledge of the world. In particular, she became interested in the functions and nature of mana. It is through her research that Annette introduced the revolutionary Divine Pseudo-Matter Theory, which completely overturned prior understanding of mana and its relationship with the world and those living within it. Despite her often difficult personality, Annette is nonetheless a valuable mind for the modern age. She continues to study and pursue further knowledge, oftentimes stepping on the toes of those around her in the process. [b]History:[/b] Perhaps it is unsurprising that Annette's future was in scholarly pursuits, as she was born as the child of two scholars, one a human woman from Orvalis and the other a Thalodreal man. While her parents did not stay together for long, it was clear from an early age that she was keenly interested in accumulating knowledge. She swiftly accelerated through her lessons, often teaching herself and at times even exceeding the knowledge base of her tutors. All the while, she developed something of a self-interested demeanor, caring little for others who she did not deem worthy of her attention. When she revealed Divine Pseudo-Matter Theory, she did not care one bit about how she upended current research, how she coldly dismissed the theories of other scholars, and how she may have looked. No, what she cared about was the pursuit of knowledge, even more than the knowledge itself. Over time, as an Executor of Metis, she has almost certainly made enemies(one particularly intense) due to her personality. Still, she pushes on, conducting research in her private home and searching for more and more explanations to the ways of the world. It is quite likely she will never stop searching as long as she lives. While her habits of treating others coldly and even mocking them certainly gives an unpleasant impression, in truth, Annette isn't without any care for others. But only those she respects are worthy of her time, in her eyes.
