Name: Howlite/Owl

Gem: Howlite
Appearance:
Wears black helmet with an opaque visor which she uses to protect here 2 large light sensitive eyes, it effectively has 5 cameras (capable of detecting various wavelengths of light) in it, that all dulled to a light level suitable for her 2 owlish eyes. The visor has 5 marks indicating the location and these are synced up with her own eyes state, 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 rapid movement, climbing or helping with work. At the front the straps link to a ring shaped device around her gem that currently serves no purpose than to act as a counterweight to the backpack, but has plenty of room for new features. She wears a pair of white gloves, turquoise shorts and wee booties. her skin is gray-blue-white in color, her arms and legs are covered in random dark markings. She has a pale blue hair with a braid coming out of the back of her helmet which has a ring at the end which contain data storage and various wireless communications devices. She is about 4 feet tall.





Gem Placement: center of chest
Gem Item: Gladius

Powers:

active:
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. This only works through making contact with the device itself or wiring linked to it with her hair.
Passive: Her hair is prehensile, the long braid at the back can be split to create small fine manipulators or to touch individual machines to us her Techno-Empathy on them.

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.
