Maria Stein Character in The Call of The Tree | World Anvil

Maria Stein

The current owner and the founder of Almost Human, Inc., company, which specializes in production of the Homunculi, which resemble humans as closely as possible.   It is said that Maria saw someone in her dream, someone that probably doesn't exist in the real world. So instead of despairing and waiting for a person, she decided to apply her knowledge of robotics. As of yet, she hasn't succeeded

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Looking at her, one would first guess that she is a car mechanic. Maria is fit, muscular, and often covered with grease and oil, though when she knows there will be a meeting that day, she starts to really care about her appearance. One can only guess how is it possible that her muscles simply don't rip apart her suits whenever she tenses up when stressed.

Apparel & Accessories

When working on homunculi, she prefers to wear stuff that is easier to move in. She likes to wear sleeveless shirts and cargo pants with many pockets to store wrenches and other tools.   Of course, when the time for the meetings comes, she dresses more professionally, wearing suits and dresses.

Mental characteristics

Employment

Maria worked for about a year as a clockmaker's apprentice before realizing her talent - planning and constructing complex clockwork mechanisms. That is also when she started having dreams of someone she knew she had to find, but also didn't exist in The Pit, not now or not anymore.   And so, she decided to build them, thus starting her company, as she wanted to create better and better models while searching for that right look that escapes her mind every time she wakes up.

Hi there! You may not know me, but I am the sponsor of the Great Leader of Their People Summer Camp Prompt this year! Since you wrote this article, I would like to know, would you mind me reading it aloud on my Twitch channel this week? I have a lot to get through so it helps to do it live while people watch. I've scheduled to go live at 8am and 8pm Eastern Time every weekday. If you join and comment, I can go over your article right then and there! If you'd like to coordinate a specific date, let me know. If you aren't able to make it (or don't want to be present live), you can also always watch streams after the fact on my YouTube channel   BUT, if the answer is NO because you'd rather I not, it's okay! Not agreeing to be streamed definitely does not put you at any disadvantage for winning in my eyes. Please respond swiftly by replying here (make sure to click REPLY under my comment or I won't be notified), message me on my World Anvil profile page, Discord, or anywhere else you find me online.   Thanks again! Whatever you choose, God bless and much success! <3

Hello!   Sure, you can read it, though I don't think I'll be present at your stream. But as you said, I could watch the stream after the fact.   Thank you both for reading and judging the articles. I wish you lots of fun with it!

Hi there. I thought I went back and let you know when I posted the replay of this if you wanted to check it out, but I guess I forgot to (unless I contacted you in discord or elsewhere. If so, please disregard XD)   Nevertheless, here's the link to the replay if you'd like to watch, but if not, no worries. It was fun to read through and this is a very interesting character and layout.   Thanks again for allowing me the honor! Have a blessed one. <3
