Version 2.0 [b]Name:[/b] Hierophant Tyche Comstar [b]Age:[/b] 35(?) [b]Archetype:[/b] Voidtouched [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Appearance:[/b] [url=https://i.pinimg.com/1200x/f7/9c/fe/f79cfefdd3ff3dc95ff9cd82060f02d8.jpg]Image[/url] The first obvious thing about Tyche is that she is tall, impressively so. Impressive is in fact the best word to describe her, literally by design. Her body has been significantly augmented with cybernetics and doesn't have any visible organic parts and all her skin except for her face is instead raw carbon fiber ultra dense synthetic muscles. To complete her superhuman aura, she also usually moves around using antigravs with arcane devices flying around her. [b]Occupation:[/b] Lancer, Voidtouched wizard. [b]Affiliations:[/b] Comstar Corporation [b]Skills and Abilities:[/b] Built to Perfection - More than just a display of Comstar power, Tyche's body has been built to resist the reality sundering power of the drift so she may one day cross into a higher dimension. As a side effect, this also makes her resistant to most mundane forms of damage one might encounter in this reality Drift Archeotech - The Com-Star corporation was and is still known for one thing above all: The Gate Network. While Tyche has passable knowledge on most forms of hypertechnologies of the ancients, her specialty is anything that interfaces with the Drift as per Comstar history. Ripples in Water - Tyche stares into the Drift for most of her time, she compares it to being neck deep in water (as she can't quite submerge herself yet) as she looks for... something. This familiarity with the Drift allows her to get a sense of when people around her (in an astronomic scale) dips its tows into the drift, AKA when another voidtouched uses its powers. [b]Faults and Limitations:[/b] Builder, not Destroyer - Tyche is far from a pacifist, but she is of the belief that Voidcraft is a tool and only a primate uses a hammer to simply smack stuff. She fights with elegance, doing such things as transmuting matter into spears of golden light to hurl at her enemies with the pure and simple power of telekinesis. Extremely impressive and something very few people can do, but incredibly less efficient than just breaking your enemy with brute force like any other voidtouched would do. The Comstar Cult - Some argue that Comstar and Tyche in particular have been getting high off their own supply lately as she fully embraced the cult aspect of the corporation. Every press of a button, every activation and deactivation, every little details around her life is ritualized and requires rigid ceremonies. When critiqued about this Tyche will ramble on about the power of the mind over the drift and that you don't start a starship engine without performing safety checks and half a dozen other things and this being the same, but to everyone else but her and her cult this seems like a huge waste of time. Goosebumps - This eerie feeling people get when someone stares at them? Or this sense of wrongness when in the presence of a killer? Some say it's superstition, but the truth is that the human mind influences the drift and the drift influences reality and usually in these scenarios either one or both person involved has a dormant affinity with the Drift. Tyche being who she is has such a presence in the Drift that even the most normal of person feels like she is in the uncanny valley, that she is alien somehow. This doesn't help her make friends to say the least. [b]Biography:[/b] After the cataclysmic end of Ancient Earth, the Com-Star corporation became a legacy, its owners staying relevant by greedily hoarding technologies and selling them. Eventually it transcended that and became the stuff of legend, with no one knowing what Comstar used to mean, only understanding they were the people who could at will shut off all technology, open all the gates of a space station to send people in the void or turn off the god-machines keeping the air of terraformed planets breathable, then Comstar became the stuff of religion and even the heirs of Comstar started to believe their own lies. It is uncertain if this doctrine originates in a megalomaniac founder or if it is merely a perversion of a corporation's obsession with hoarding wealth and power, but Comstar's creed is the discovery and hoarding of technology and power. Not 'temporal power' as they call the power of emperors and nobles which they call trivial and fake, but real power over reality itself, Comstar history teaching that Ancient humans were on the verge of mastering the drift to a degree where they could control all of reality and reshape it into a paradise of their choice and that the fall was caused by ludites who feared this inevitable destiny. It is in this context that Tyche was born, one of countless genetically modified embryos based on the current President of Comstar implanted in mothers specifically chosen for their desirable traits and then trained from a young age for mastery over the drift and understanding of Void-tech. After a grueling selection, she was chosen to be a potential successor to the President. In a way, her situation is similar to the Prince's, only unlike him, she plays the game of power and aims to win at all cost as losing means having her psyche absorbed by whichever of her 'sibling' is deemed to be the superior one, which in theory is not dying but in practice is at least something pretty damn close to it. Procyon is thus for her the potential for advancement. Comstar always had an eye on the sector since back in the Ancient era, it had been on the edge of the known universe and a place where many corporations had blacksites, places to try their most advanced technologies, the kind that if something went wrong could ruin their reputation or destroy entire planets. Her studies hint at treasures of potentially immense power and technological importance. Comstar was never free to openly investigate this location however, either out of fear of other corporate entities taking their interest as a hint of what's hidden and outmaneuvering them or simply because the emperor and his ephemeral temporal power would forbid it simply for the sake of preventing an already powerful entity gaining more power. The Prince was the perfect cover, Comstar's involvement with him looking like a play on imperial politics rather than an interest in the backwater he had exiled himself in. Tyche however is not a diplomat and simply presented with Prince with a carrot and a stick, either Comstar would back him with its money and tech, or it would use them to hamper him. Keep your friends close but enemies closer as they say.
