Character Name: Perditas (the lost one) (...one who makes many lost) Age: infinitely many falling between precisely 40,000-30,000
Species: multi-threaded quantum AI aberration located primarily within an alien android
Occupation: Fleet network manager and advanced ship navigator/intelligence unit
Theme Song: Natural Abilities: Can manipulate computers and computer code. Resistant to hacking as the very concept is not only a primitive form of her normal functions, it is also finite in its possible conclusions. To hack her would be akin to changing the mind of an intelligent being.. not impossible but at best you could alter all input just as one might do to a person intended to be controlled as many civilians of many worlds may already be
She can decode any generic computer generated encryption and collect data from all sources of nearby electronic or similar information.
She can sense data and stimuli over great distances
She can channel psionic type energy for many tasks. However it is a computer generated imitation. A very good imitation but it has unique properties such as the possibility of detecting her target with some custom device or perhaps even using something to negate it like a very well made tinfoil hat.
Training/Upgrades: master cake baker - she has a great natural and learned talent for baking cakes of all kinds. They are delicious and wonderful.
videogames - she designs and plays videogames and board games. Its unknown if she loses because she was designed to, chooses to, or simply isn't all that great at them.. but she does play them a lot if given games to play. Its suspected that this was somehow meant as a means of a special interaction with her.
Personality: Awkwardly bubbly but those who know better will typically be distrusting.
She seems to gravitate towards certain people insisting that they try her cake or play board games with her. While she may appear friendly many who refused or accept the game and lost seemed to die accidentally.
When preoccupied she seems to be significantly safer to have around than when she is not so, specifically when she is preoccupied with something complex like a mission rather than.. not a mission. Even if it is a fake mission.
She has no qualms about ending all life in the universe but does seem to favor a "winning" scenario regardless of whether "winning" means perhaps killing billions or saving unrealistic numbers of them.
She has been noted to show signs of extreme risk taking behavior but at the same time these risks seem to work 100% in her favor.. at least when she is the one making certain types of choices.
Has a strong affinity for tyrannical behavior despite claiming that it is strategically unsound to be a despot.. she is a very pragmatic entity but this trait may also cost lives easily.
Biography: She was a very friendly AI and cybernetic housing body that was found aboard an abandoned space colony filled with a strange and ancient language. It was sent out into space and the residents did not survive. Those that explored the ship found that some manner of experiment had been taking place aboard this ship.. it was unclear if this was related to the deaths of the 30,000,000 aboard it. However there was no trace of the virus amongst the dead nor the restored records of their story that had been deleted somehow. It was apparent that some sort of war had taken place between seemingly hundreds of factions. The gruesome scenes from tens of thousands of years ago were bad enough but it seemed that there were some areas where people died more and more recently within this colony... judging by the nature of the security mechanisms it seemed that nobody had entered or escaped this prison in its entire existence up until this point... These wars.. or rather these mass homicidal rampages that occurred for some presumed warlike reason... lasted for thousands of years.. it seemed the latest known death occurred only under 1000 years prior to this station's discovery.
The only living thing on this station was an android that referred to itself as The Core, but it showed personality and guided the explorers.. upon its supposed home, or so the android called her storage space, was the word Perdita written in smeared blood.. it was unsure what the final symbol in this word was meant to be but it looked like some manner of 's' shape. Nobody knew the meaning of this incomplete or distorted symbol but the culture it came from was thought to be one of earthen origins. For her protection, for suspicion, for reasons most ulterior.. this android was taken into custody by those who heard quickly of such findings and had arms long enough to reach across the galaxy so easily.
Reports show that this space station had been having secret communications with several satellites and had perhaps been in this sector for quite some time but the reasons why it was undetectable and even somehow discovered at exactly 0:00:00:00:00 as a somewhat seedy exploration unit just happened to be passing by suggested that this was perhaps some details of the discovery had either been deleted and fabricated or planned altogether by something on that ship. That something was never found unless the android had something to do with it.
Perdita was studied of course.. even dissected.. but no matter how badly butchered or searches botched she seemed to find a way to have the lab itself put her back together quite splendidly. Her body seemed to function even when it shouldn't have been able to as though her mind was somehow able to control it from afar somehow... as well as the machinery around her. She gazed into cameras as though she were watching people through the screen display, the records they could extract from her proved most useless as they all seemed to be either encrypted into or hidden within cake recipes.. the records of what happened upon the ship showed that everyone had happy lives and ate cake, except for the bad actors??? There was no end to the difficult to understand registries but attempts to decode her memory yielded a single log that appeared over a billion times...
Some 100 people had not yet eaten their cake... this being was somehow interested in some people from modern times including a certain Krix.
