Body: Construct

Powers

(Staff of Power, Unlimited Trump Works & Shehaqim, Neural Network & Computronio)

After she was caught in an incident that left her grievously injured and unable to be healed, Vivian's mind was transferred into a construct build from what remained of her body merged with tinker-magi-tech. Her mind resides on a central processor housed inside of her chest cavity, close to where the heart would be, and is augmented by her *Neural Network* power. This grants her the ability to run her mind up to two orders of magnitudes faster than a baseline human on multiple threads at once, process and store large amounts of data, and more.

Her physical abilities are at the level of an Olympic athlete in terms of strength and speed but can be sustained for extended periods of time due to the hybrid nature of her organs. Her agility, dexterity, and reflexes are greatly increased due to advanced sensor systems and faster processing speed. Her body also houses numerous modules such as a micro fabricator, a non-lethal taser in her right hand, a paralyzing field projector in her left hand, a magnetically accelerated flechette caster in her right forearm, and a directed variable energy weapon in her left forearm.

Her primary power is *Unlimited Trump Works* (with the Shehaqim addon). Vivian keeps a replica of the Archmage power permanently locked into the core slot and most of her other powers are designed to either augment or synergize with her primary power, making her into a powerful mage with very few equals. Most of the time, however, she limits her strength and locks most of her power behind seals that are only released when the situation goes FUBAR and all other options have been exhausted. Most of her versatility comes from the *Staff of Power* and her extensive collection of special items she uses to modify its functions. Her basic set of items consists of six enchanted foci that the staff can transform into to augment various branches of magic and an orichalcum glaive she uses for close combat.

Personality

At first glance, and most other glances afterwards, Vivian appears as cold and disinterested but always courteous and professional. Most of her expressions can be summarized as "bored with a slight hint of emotion." This is due to her nature as a construct, she has a tendency to get lost in thought and ignore the world that moves in slow motion around her, and her introverted personality.

When acting in her role as an officer, in combat situations, or other official functions, she will present a stern and efficient façade. Thanks to her training, she is comfortable with command structures and will follow orders from a superior officer as long as they do not overstep her personal ethics.

In the presence of family and close friends, however, her other side shines through. With those she loves, Vivian relaxes and is much more energetic than her usual demeanor.

Background

Originally a resident of Earth Bet, Vivian was caught in a cross-dimensional incident that left her grievously injured and stranded in the ruined village of Sommerfeld on Earth Tsadeh where she triggered. With all records destroyed and very few surviving residents, the rescue team on site assumed she was a native. Since their search weasels (yes, they have those) detected she was a powerful mage, her Shard had automatically copied their powers, she received advanced medical treatment and was turned into a Construct.

Unwilling to disabuse the authorities of Earth Tsadeh of their assumptions, she went on to attend the Imperial Magic Academy, where she met her now wife Stelle, and graduating from the officer track with the rank of Lieutenant. After an eight month deployment with the Eight Company to secure Northern Europe against an invasion from Earth Samech and obtaining the Start of the Empress distinction for her participation in the defense of Stockholm, she was given command of Mobile Task Force Lambda with Stelle as her second in command.

The primary mission of MTF Lambda is to investigate and resolve paranatural incidents happening on the European continent. It primarily operates out of the Adler, a military airship which serves as a mobile base for the team. A sentient forest that eats people and is slowly taking over a rural village, rogue artificer or tinker constructs, parasitic slimes that puppet people, an eldritch cult established under a peaceful fishing village engaged in cross-breeding experiments, the list goes on. During one of those missions, Vivian and Stelle adopted Charlotte, a six years old girl that was left without a family.

However and whenever you encounter her, Vivian will have been at the head of MTF Lambda for at least 16 months. Her main goal will be to reunite with Stelle, if you assist her in this endeavor she will be willing to assist you in return.
