XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX❝ Vulpes Nereids Empatius. ❞
- ➳ But you can also call her:
- Ceto
➳ She has been around for:
- 4 Republic-Standard Years
➳ As you can see she is a:
- Female
➳ She stands before you a:
- Vulpes Nereids Empatius.
➳ She hails from the place called:
- Genesis Compound. Bostrom, Earth.
➳ She swings this way:
- Pansexual -platonic-
➳ Ceto is pretty good at:
- ✓ Aquatic activities- She can breath under water and swim at a stunning 113 Kilometers ( 70 M) per hour, her body built to withstand deep-sea pressures and the bioluminescent scales along her tail and brow aiding in dark environments.
- ✓ Cerebral Acumen- Ceto has a high intelligence and seems to learn quickly, despite her animalistic behaviors, by gaging the emotional activity of those around herself.. Hinting at some evolutionary traits similar to Empatians. For her species this goes one step deeper, Ceto able to communicate via telepathy.. though often with little more than images and emotions. It is rare that she actually 'speaks' with those outside her trusted few.
- ✓ Land Activities- On land she is primarily bi-pedal, but can easily switch between walking on two legs or four. On two legs she can reach 24 kph ( 14 mph), as a quadruped she can run at 38 kph ( 23 mph).
- ✓ Steady cell regeneration- This is what allows her to move and heal/recover so quickly.. the natural chemicals and hormones in her body seeming to hint at a very long and healthy life span for her species.
➳ But on the other hand she is bad at:
- ✗ Over Sensitivity- Her smell, sight, and hearing are far more delicate than most realize.. and they can be used against her rather easily.
- ✗ Balancing Logic and Instinct- In moments of strong emotional stress she will express instinctive behaviors, sudden surprises can trigger a 'fight or flight' reflex and make it difficult for cognitive thought.
- ✗ Humanistic behaviors- Most mistake Ceto to be some sort of pet or creature due to her appearance and animal-like behaviors.. Few realize this is simply the nature of her species.
- ✗ Physical contact- While her empathic abilities do make touching uncomfortable for the female, they are not the main reason behind her aversion to it. With the exception of a few trusted individuals ( whom it is pleasant to be petted by), Ceto will not tolerate being touched.. and she has been known to bite those that ignore her warnings.
➳ You can always give her:
- ✓ Time near water, be it salt or fresh water she loves to play in it.
- ✓ Puzzles or physical challenges.. she enjoys figuring things out and pushing her limits.
- ✓ Seafood, be it meat or vegetation.
➳ Though you can keep:
- ✗ Strong odors, sounds, or lights. So.. she dislikes most of society outside the Compound.
- ✗ Being confined.
- ✗ Processed or cooked foods.
➳ She tends to act like:
- Ceto has caused a number of questions since her revival.. a creature somewhere between animal and man. She is wild, independent, calculating, and fierce.. yet also curious, gentle, playful, and intelligent. Though she is young she seems to have memories of her previous life, confusing flashes that occur during her sleep or when triggered by familiar scents.. Nothing she can understand yet, in any case. Two of the few people she has bonded with would be the Nuada siblings; Ceto showing a great deal of loyalty, affection, and obedience towards them.
➳ So far her life has been like:
- A strange dream, though which parts of it are the odd bits she cannot tell anymore. Her story started with a geological sample from the planet Empatia's oceanic plate, the workers pulling up not only minerals.. but also a strange fossil of some sort. Employed by Genesis they sent it in to the main lab for carbon dating and study, yet years passed and no one could identify what sort of creature it was. Eventually the sample was dropped in the 'unfinished' section and forgotten.. until the late Head of Genesis expanded upon the science of cloning. Excited at the success of their leader a small group of techs decided to try a hand at it themselves, gathering a few samples from places they wouldn't be missed.. and initiating trials to make clones of extinct creatures. Of course they failed on the first few fossils, the cells too damaged or old to replicate.. yet when they finally came to the stone marked 'Nereids Empatius' something quiet different happened. Naturally crafted to regenerate on a cellular level the creature's genetic code was almost perfectly preserved, and after the few years of testing the scientists had enough experience to cultivate it.
Foolish youths that they were, the Techs almost lost the experiment to a lab fire.. which is when the new Head of Genesis took notice of their misguided attempts. He took over the project personally, and once it bore fruit.. he even gave the creature a Name from the Sea. Ceto.. Though her official name 'Vulpes Nereids Empatius' was decided by the scientists that analyzed her fossil. Basically.. she was considered a Sea Monster-like Fox from the planet Empatia.
The first solid memory she has was of waking up in an aquarium, nestled against a foreign reef as the salt water buffered her sensitive body from the noise and lights outside. It was a small space, but not uncomfortable.. and the unusual creatures outside seemed content to let her do as she liked in the enclosure. Time passed and her mind adjusted, she started watching those that watched her.. two, in particular, holding her attention when they visited. She started anticipating their company, growing lonely and restless on the days they didn't come.. and finally she learned how to reach out beyond that barrier of glass. It was clumsy, a mental barrage of images and feelings.. but the pair seemed to understand. What was more, her contact seemed to excite them.. they started giving her tests and even released her from the aquarium when she expressed the desire to get out. Ceto has only been conscious for five months.. and aside from her dreams she knows no other life than the one in the Compound.
➳ Anything else:
- When Bipedal the female is roughly 5ft tall, as a quadruped she is roughly the size of a Great Dane. Her hind feet are clearly paws, but her front ones are a morphed type of well developed hand.. webs lacing between her fingers and pads lining the back of the digits, allowing her to curl them into a paw-like shape so she can run as a quadruped comfortably.
