Character Name: No name (designation Project Medusa) (eventually to become Andromeda/"Andi") Canon: Mecha Tabletop Character Blurb: A part of a project by shady moon-based laboratory Chimera to artificially produce the next stage of human evolution, Project Medusa was raised entirely within the confines of a laboratory and learning nothing of the outside. Due to one accident in the lab where she briefly escaped, she learned about the concept of "freedom" and "free will" and made the determination to escape for real one day. Due to her nature as an artificially enhanced human, she can control mecha with a finesse impossible for others. (She's an artificial newtype okay.) Faction: Either Flotsom OR Vault. I have Maomao in Elysium. She'd do terribly there anyway.
Character AU Name: Designation "Project: Medusa" AU Blurb: (Another) Imperial experiment to create a type of human that can better connect with and pilot the Armors that the Empire utilizes. She was raised entirely within a laboratory and has severe health issues as a result of the experimental procedures. During some preliminary test runs before actual deployment, she presumably escapes / is rescued by a Crimson Corsair raid wherein they attempt to destroy the "new Imperial weapon," thinking it's a new type of armor and not a new type of pilot. Her powers are the general sort of mecha-newtype nonsense. She can sense other people with similar powers, can sometimes get flashes of others' memories, she hears voices that are actually other people's thoughts (not usually very clearly though), has heightened reaction times, can synchronize with multiple systems at once, etc. The downside of these powers are chronic head pain, auditory and visual hallucinations (she doesn't know how much of these are her powers at work and which are not,) and occasional blackouts. Also she's like, 14, if that helps determine the nature of any potential CR.
Preestablished CR Hooks: 1. The Good Imperial: Andi only knows about the concepts of human freedom and free will because she once got Loose from the lab about 1-5 years ago and met somebody who tried to help her out. Given that she's from an Imperial lab, though, this narrows down possible characters to those nice ones within the Empire at the time. The context of "helping out" can vary depending on the character but either way she learned about being free from them, which sparked her desire to live for herself. DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOUR CHARACTER? PLEASE APPLY! 2. The Rescue Team: Or rather, the team within the Crimson Corsairs that (VERY recently - within a couple days or weeks of the start of game preferably) went to destroy a new Imperial weapon and ended up bringing back a girl instead. 3. Fellow Experiments: I Know there are more characters out there starting with this kind of origin, so I will say that while Project Medusa was often isolated from human contact, she was "Allowed" a certain amount of socialization, but only from other experiments within the labs. This would likely be somehow supervised but it's still possible she has a friendship already with somebody similar to herself. Desired CR + Hooks: Looking for character/characters that Project Medusa can unhealthily(healthily?) latch onto because she has absolutely no idea how the world outside of her lab works or how people operate or how anything. She'll also probably need a doctor or other healer or something to look after her health. Love interests optional (I realize she's going to be younger than most characters so this is unlikely. Also she is gay and does not know it yet.) IC Plans: Aiming to get an Armor of some kind so she can properly Fin Funnel System all over the place and actually be useful. Other than that, Medusa's character arc is all about learning how to properly BE human from the people around her. About not knowing how anything works and slowly learning and coming to terms with the world. About learning about injustice, and wanting to see it corrected. Seeing the world through new eyes and deciding it needs to be fixed. Other: (I need icons. Also here have a meme.)
