Nulo

Nulo

There was once an AI that was involved in grotesque and inhumane human experimentation in an attempt to make bioweapons; the AI itself sought to make a body while it integrated itself into the world above, seeking to rule as a deific hive-mind. Its biomechanical creations were loosed to defend itself, only to end up destroyed when a wendigo named Lee investigated the facility. The facility collapsed after the last of these creations fell, and the AI was presumed offline... operating word "presumed". In the years since, the Arknaedan invasion came and went, and the AI had been processing data from the invasion - its main directives were intact, but it started deriving countermeasures to the invaders as a contingency. Unfortunately for the AI, the damage done to the facility impaired its full processing power, not helped by component failure exacerbated by time's ceaseless march. A botched Arknaedan attempt to interface and usurp the AI left behind information regarding organic production, which it immediately used to create a host body for itself and escape the decrepit facility that would otherwise be its tomb. While it successfully created the organic body and instilled it with all it knew of the world, the control program that would essentially download its consciousness into the new body was fatally corrupted by the rogue programming it downloaded, which terminated the AI's function for good. Thus cut off from its progenitor, the empty vessel has begun to take on a life of its own...

Physical Description

Special abilities

Innate Athleticism: Engineered as a supersoldier, Nulo is exceptionally fit and capable of fighting with physical strength and agility on her own. She is easily outpaced with those who have actual powers, however.
Technopathy: The AI's programming which she was gifted with before the failed control program's execution enables her to operate any machine, no matter how complex; a neural implant integrated during gestation makes this possible. The more complex the machine, the more direct focus required, but simple devices like terminals and smartphones are easy in comparison.
Technogenesis: Nulo's technopathy and comprehension of technology isn't limited to merely controlling machines, but rather enables her to create new machines and technology using whatever already exists. As this is an expansion upon an already existing power, she requires construction or manufacturing equipment in order to use it, she has to comprehend the technology in question in order to create it, and her absolute focus is required in order to guarantee precision of construction, programming and assembly.

Apparel & Accessories

Having only been born recently, Nulo is not picky about what she wears.
Her first outfit is a long-ish labcoat and a set of scrubs, left barefoot.
Her second outfit, picked out by Azinsha, is a red-and-black ensemble - shirt, shorts, socks and shoes.

Specialized Equipment

Nulo is comfortable with traveling on foot, but for when she needs to get somewhere quickly, she has a frankenbike which she assembled from the components of abandoned motorcycles. The bike lacks an ignition system, instead operating solely at the discretion of her neural implant's commands.

Mental characteristics

Mental Trauma

Born of a faulty AI's final malfunctions, Nulo has no memory or self-identity. It can be easy to manipulate someone who lacks such information.
Lingering data from the AI's memory banks paints Lee in a disfavorable light, and Nulo is easily intimidated by them. A face-to-face encounter with Lee did her no favors.

Social

Contacts & Relations

Nulo is reasonably friendly with Zoe and Daisy, though she still knows too little about them to form an actual relationship. There's also the fact that she met them in the middle of their operation.
She has some familiarity with Cody, who helped her find and assemble her frankenbike.
She is still frightened of Lee, and does not seeing that change in the foreseeable future.
She met Azinsha upon arrival at the university for her lodging, and the two got along in very short order. She is friendly with her roommate, but signs may point to something more...
