Appearence: Upon her initial outing from the Tube on Scara Brae Island, Esmerelda adopted the appearence of a six foot 130 pound woman with darkened skin, Green Eyes, Brown hair, and clothes that were similar to those worn by the first few wemen she saw, which happened to be a group of Amazons out on an adventure, so Esmerelda altered her Nanites to look like she was wearing Leather Armor.

History:
A Clear beautiful day on the island of Scara Brae In an almost hidden cave on the cliffs, the strangest of gateways opened up. It was many colors, and swirled. Looking at it, it seemed like an impossibly long tunnel to a place that was not on Althanas.

"FREEZE!" Yelled a voice. A man in a lab coat jumped out carrying a great big tube mage of glass, containing what looked like a clear liquid. The portal began to close and as it did, a burst of energy killed the man in the lab coat.

"Esmerelda, Wake up, my duaghter" The man said, as he fell, and as he died, he whispered "I love you"

The tube mean while, glowed slightly, and what looked like a liquid, became what looked like a young woman wearing nothing. She was sleeping still, and as the tide came in it picked up and carried the tube out of the cave where it dashed to pieces on a coral reef. Unprepared for real water, Esmerelda quickly awoke and changed to aquatic mode as energy rippled through her Swarm, which protected her software files. Unfortunatly, the damage had already been done, and most of her files were corrpted. Her self-preservation software kicked in, and she made for shore, and washed up on land. Water leaked out of her sides as the swarm loosened just enough to let the water out.

Esmerelda scanned her command files, waiting for someone to give her an order. A leaflet advertising a Metalworkers shop in the Scara Brae Bazaar flew out of a careless travelers hands, and ended up in her face.

"Come to the Balderk Brothers Dwaven Smithy and see why we're the best in all of Scara Brae!" It read.

Esmerelda looked at the leaflet like it was an order, and so began walking, having no idea where Scara Brae actually was.

In the distance her eyes caught sight of a group of women. Knowing that she was currently emulating the female sex, being unable to emulate males due to the corruption of those files. She saw they were dressed in leather, and emulated their style. a Cloud boiled above her skin, as billions of Nanites left the protective inside of her body, and weaved themselves together into Leather Armor. No one could tell she was not actually human. She looked exactly like an Amazon wearing Leather Armor. It felt, and protected like Leather Armor.

"Scara Brae?" Esmerelda asked. Her voice sounded robotic and echoed itself. The real amazons looked at her strangly as they pointed down the path behind them.

Esmerelda thanked them and walked on, damaged by water and electricty generated by her own Nanites. She needed Steel and Gold to repair herself.

Skills:

Healing: As there are no advanced Robotic Scientists living on Althanas, this is the only way in which Esmerelda can actually repair herself, through her own Reapir and Diagnostics utility. For purposes of ease of RP, and Continuity, lest pre-existing standards and conditions become distorted, Curative, Healing, and other forms of Restorative Magic can only Repair Esmeralda to her current Profile defaults, depending on resources at hand, and the severity of the wound, this could take as little as ten minutes as with minor scratches and other such abrasions, up to several days, or weeks as with severed and destroyed limbs or other such severe and critical wounds.

Appearence shift: Rather than needlessly terrify the public with the knowledge that a powerful weapon is walking among them, she was programmed with the ability to change her appearence. Things that are changed include Skin color, feel, and texture, Hair Color, feel and Texture, Eye Color, the design of clothes, and their toughness/Strength/ Thickness.
However, in order to accuratly reflect the characteristics of anything, it must first be examined and devoured by the swarm. Currently, Esmerelda is programmed with Human Characteristics, Leather, Iron, Gold, and Steel.
She can also Dissolve her swarm into a pool of special Liquid, and has Aquatic Mode, Neccessary to protect her sensitive equipment and software.

Morph: Rather than giver her weapons. Esmerelda's programmer gave her the abilty to completly morph herself into a weapon. However most of these files were corrpted. Currently, the only readable files include the abilty to morph her limbs and hair into Melee and Ranged weapons that reflect the weaponry commonly found in Althanas. Also in this ability is the ability to detach her limbs in order to more accuratly use them as weapons. If she is somehow disarmed of her limbs or they are sundered, the Nanites that make up her limbs can break apart and make their way back to Esmerelda, if she is no more than 100 yards away from them, otherwise they break apart and completly disassemble themselves, least anyone discover how Esmerelda really works. In order to emulate a weapon, The swarm must first examine and devour a preexisting copy of said weapon. Esmerelda is presently programmed with the spiked Mace, spikes, The Crossbow Bolt, and the Crossbow.

Note on Spikes: The spikes project from all over her body, and is a defensive measure, but can be used offensivly. They do not shoot, they simply project from the exposed portions of her body, they are a six inches long, and very sharp.

Life Emulation: Covers the basic range of skills any organic being is naturally capable of, such as thought, Measuring things, strategic planning ( Not neccessarily trained in it though like a general would be, but still capable of basic strategy. Even the unintelligent creatures that live in the wild are capable of strategy) Feeling, (Not emotions, those files are corrpted and unreadible), and other basic skills all Organic being are born with.
Esmerelda is better at it, simply because she is a machine with a processing power superior to what Organics are capable of.

Note: Esmerelda is effected as a normal human by all elements and magic. The Ressurection magic needed to ressurect her is actually from the school of Technomancy, however only the Aibrone monks know it at this time, to keep in with their powers of healing and restoration. Their powers will only be used in conjuction with Citadel threads.

Further Note: A strong enough Blow to or through the Head or Chest will completly destroy Esmerelda, and the surrounding environment, up to twenty feet away.

Profieciencies: Before her Data was Corrupted and Damaged by the Sea water and the Power Surge it created, Esmerelda was as a GrandMaster with all weapons. However, her Tactical Database was heavily corrupted, leaving her with only the equivalent of basic, average run of the mill skills with her defensive spikes. She's better with the Mace, but her targeting program is just not up to par, and so she's not as good as most with her crossbow.

Equipment:
Nanite Swarm, Exact number beyond counting. These Nanites are to Esmerelda, as cells are to organic beings. Each type of Nanites has diffrent purposes, just as diffrent cells in organic beings like a human has diffrent purposes. These Nanites are capable of withstanding things that would destroy most Nanites, but only when they are swarmed together. They are self-replicating with the proper materials, just as organic cells in humans are self-replicating with the proper nutrients. She needs no other equipment.

Notes on her behavior: Due to her damaged status, Esmerelda is incapable of doing without sleep, and must occasionally shut down. During this time She appears to be asleep just like an organic being, but if alone or in a dangerous situation or area, she can also dissolve into Liquid and sleep in a bucket or a bowl. she must sleep for eight hours to recharge her energy.

(I request Witchblade to finish going round and round with me on this, as it was she who first picked up this profile long ago, and it would only be fair, and right, if it was she who finished it.)

Change the length on the spikes from one foot to six inches. In her proficiency, you only have her listed with average skill in her defensive spikes, but she also has a crossbow and a mace that she can use. Give one above average skill and the other below average. Healing, it states that she can restore herself to her current state, but how long dies it take exactly? Keep in mind that she can heal faster than a regular human at this point in time, but not exorbently faster.

Make those changes and I'll take another look at it.

So finished, also, what's to become of that 300 dollar voucher? Are new people still given it, or what's the story here?

We're not doing the 300 GP voucher anymore. That'll be removed from your profile shortly, but you still obviously start off with 200 that you're free to use however you want.

Approved!
