Name: Howlite/Owl/1337haxor27
Gem: Howlite
Appearance:
Wears black helmet with an opaque visor which she uses to protect here large light sensitive eyes, it effectively has 5 cameras in it, that all dulled to a light level suitable for her eyes, the visor has 5 marks indicating the location and these are synced up with here own eyes, resulting in 5 expressive elliptical shapes on the visor, the visor can also display images instead of the eye marks to allow others to see data she has or emote in more absurd ways ([ ! ],[ ? ],[0_0]). a collection of straps over her chest and back attach a backpack which has 4 extendable manipulator arms with 3 fingered claws on the end used either for climbing or helping with work, she wears a pair of white gloves turquoise shorts and wee booties. her skin is gray-white in color, her upper arms and lower legs are covered in random dark markings. The cables coming out of the back of her head look like a braid with a ring at the end which contain data storage and various wireless communications devices.
Gem Placement: back of the head
Gem Item: cat o nine tails
Powers:
active: the cat o nine tails lashes can be extended from her gem on their own without extracting the handle, giving here what amounts to either a long braid passively or a set of 9 short prehensile tendrils that can be used to interface with objects or use as fine manipulators.
passive: Techno-Empathy, she can like her mind with a device and ether operate it or read/write data at incredible speed, using this and her small light frame she can create devices that would require advanced AI to work properly like robotic limbs or mecha, while humans can create materials and motors suitable of these functions she bypasses the walking/balance/interface problem that plagues robotics.
Backstory:
Howlite’s are data analysts and software/cybernetics engineers , anything that might be some kind of computer is their domain. Emerging in early 20th century america doesn't give much opportunity to use this skill, anything easily accessible was quickly to made into her data ring, helmet and backpack before running out of material. Having concluded that everything else nearby is either “primitive”, broken or filled with corrupted gems she succumbed to purposeless boredom (and low battery on her equipment) and went back and slept (having learned about this and a few other things during a few brief confusing conversations with members of the local dominant species, the American) in her hole for 100 years, only to be awoken by the construction of the city. She is extremely interested in all the data the humans have now got electronically stored and intends to parse all of it, every last bit.
