Alma, Number 2

_{//C E N T I P E D E}

_{"Christ, what have we done?" - Dr. Bloom, regarding Alma}

∟ NAME: Alma Bloom
∟ FIELD NAME: Centipede
∟ RANK: 2
∟ CLASS: Hostile ► Passive ⁽¹⁾
∟ GENDER: Female
∟ PHYSICAL PROFILE: Alma Bloom, named after the deceased daughter of senior Dr. Bloom, was one of the very first successful Children commissioned. Currently, Alma stands at precisely 175.4cm in height; taller than the average adult human female. She is slim in stature, pale in complexion, and bears a head of long black hair. She has continually ignored requests to cut it for convenience. Her eyes are drowsy and coloured a dark shade of green, and she mostly carries a lazy, tiresome expression. Her body shows little sign of conflict, being completely void of scars and bruising due to her cellular mutations. Her choice of apparel includes a full, faux-leather bodysuit, kevlar-packed around her abdomen and dyed black in colour. Other than the buckle on the back of her collar to hold the suit together, the entirety of her back is left bare; see ABILITIES.

∟ PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Alma displays a great deal of maturity in her personality, and might often come across as motherly. Whilst reserved, lazy and soft-spoken in nature, Alma's persona undergoes vast changes when engaged in combat. Upon taking physical damage, Alma enters a frenzied, berserk state, resulting in a frightfully huge increase in strength and power. Alma is nearly impossible to control in these situations and has a tendency to overkill her targets in her rage, resulting in a gory, unsightly mess. Alma's shock collar is fitted with a potent tranquilliser, which has been used on countless occasions to subdue her and prevent her from turning her rage elsewhere. Upon waking, Alma remembers little of her frenzy, and continues as if nothing had ever happened.

∟ ABILITIES:
→ CENTIPEDE: Alma's primary superhuman trait. Alma's spine hosts eight, tentacle-like appendages, around fifteen metres long when fully extended and invisible to the naked eye. Whilst her body strength is remarkably poor, these "weapons" are immensely strong, capable of ripping apart Hydra and lifting large objects.
→ GOD-EYE: Alma's existence is deemed as a successful experiment. As well as the standard EVE DNA being inserted into the ovum, a tiny fragment of Hydra DNA was implemented too. This not only resulted in her peculiar mutations, but also granted her the ability to detect approaching Hydra.
→ ADRENALINE RUSH: Alma's body translates pain directly into adrenaline, resulting in the frenzied berserker mode she is renowned for.
→ RAPID REGENERATION: In the nights following a mission, Alma will enter a deep sleep, resting for any time up to eighteen hours. During this time, her body will heal at a rapid rate, and even damaged organs are able to repair themselves in short time.

∟ WEAKNESSES:
→ THE NUCLEUS: Whilst inflicting pain upon Alma carries great risk, her human body is essentially nought more than a fragile nucleus. If one were to get past her appendages and land a heavy blow on her body, she will potentially be incapacitated and unable to fight.
→ FIRE: Alma's appendages are acutely sensitive to fire, presumably because of the thin membrane which coats them and protects them from irritation. If burned, they will writhe in stress, and become difficult to control.

⁽¹⁾ 11/02/2760 - Following the successful testing of frenzy-specific containment methods, Alma has since been reclassified as passive.

Sibling Impressions

∟ ALPHA
^{"She's very dear, in her own way. Her words are never without meaning, and I appreciate that. I truly wish they wouldn't sanction her so."}

∟ VECTOR
^{"She's clever, remarkably so. Certainly useful for being a human calculator. I still haven't grasped the logic behind her vectors, but I certainly value her on the frontlines."}

∟ ADAM
^{"Oh, what a beautifully monstrous boy. His transformations are a bit distracting."}

∟ MONSTER
^{"A member of my own generation, and a sibling close to my heart. He's certainly frightful to the eye, but I couldn't imagine him otherwise."}

∟ PSYKER
^{"She's a troublemaker, no doubt. It's a little tiring, but her strength of mind is certainly impressive."}

∟ REAPER
^{"Is he a sadist? I struggle knowing sometimes. Regardless, he needs to keep those flames far, far away from me."}

∟ ZOMBIE
^{"No wonder he's so strong, with a personality that heavy. I've yet to meet anyone quite so reckless."}

∟ GESTALT
^{"Revolting, even by my standards. I don't say it often, but if he tries pulling any of that weird business on me, I'll butcher him."}

∟ ECHIDNA
^{"Gladys fascinates me, truly. Her notions of family are precious; it makes us all a little more human."}

∟ BLINK
^{"Fast little bugger. Pleasant to be around, since he's so honest. He'd be the first to tell me if I had a wardrobe malfunction, or something."}

∟ PUPPETEER
^{"The mind-intrusions are a little sketchy, but it's sweet in its own way I suppose. I wonder what that little notebook hides?"}

∟ EVE
^{"I didn't think I had any fears, until this little demon showed up. She shares the same name as our elusive mother; isn't our mother meant to be divine?"}

∟ CIPHER
^{"I've yet to experience his null zone, but I doubt it's very pleasant. From what I understand, he has quite the inhuman mind. I wonder..."}

Moses, Number 120

_//PISCES

_{"Nothing exists but you. And you... are but a thought."}

∟ NAME: Moses Abel
∟ FIELD NAME: Pisces
∟ RANK: 120
∟ CLASS: Safe
∟ GENDER: Male
∟ PHYSICAL PROFILE: Moses is – for the most part – completely humanoid in appearance. He stands at around 5'11, of an average lean build. His hair is the colour of ash, and his eyes are a deep, sea blue. His skin, however, is tanned in complexion but decorated with constellation-like lights, particularly around the chest area. His arms are perhaps his most abnormal feature, as his skintone gradually fades into a translucent, galactic blue. His hands and forearms are almost akin in appearance to a sparkling snowglobe. Strangely, no bones are visible in his lower arms, and it would seem as though they were constructed from a water-like substance.

∟ PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Moses is a remarkably kind and soft-spoken individual, offering words of comfort to even the most repulsive of creatures. He cares deeply for his siblings, and is always willing to provide a deeply philosophical outlook on things. He is often perceived as distant and dream-like, and prefers to observe events from a distance. Thus far, Moses has never entered a state of panic, and is perhaps one of the most rational and level-headed Children commissioned. During his time on the field, Moses has displayed a peculiar liking towards birds, and the colour green.

∟ ABILITIES:
→ HEALING TOUCH: Moses is able to repair foreign cells through mere touch. By placing a hand upon a wound, the rate of normal cell repair is rapidly increased, and the wound will close within a few seconds to a few minutes depending on the severity. This is particularly useful when regenerative-type Children are under deep stress and unable to initiate their normal healing. The feeling of Moses' healing touch has been described as warm and tranquil, akin to a localised sedative.
→ ANTI-BODY PRODUCTION: Moses has proved to be immune to all human diseases tested thus far. When injected with a pathogen, Moses' system is able to rapidly produce anti-bodies within his bloodstream. These anti-bodies can then be extracted via a syringe in his forearms, in the form of a light blue liquid. This liquid can then be directly injected into an afflicted person directly, serving as a highly effective medicine. This does not immunise the person from future exposure.
→ THE DOCTOR During his short lifetime, Moses has learned and perfected a vast amount of field medic techniques. In situations where a person has sustained multiple injuries or has fallen sick with venom, Moses is able to quickly denote the correct method to deal with it.

∟ WEAKNESSES:
→ NON-VIOLENT Moses displays no offensive qualities whatsoever, and has shown no desire to enter the violence even with artificial weaponry.
→ FRAGILE: Moses, compared to most other Children, is a glass child. His body can only sustain as much damage as a normal human, though it is quick to heal.

^{► Project:EVE ◄}

<sub>The year on Earth is 2762. Exactly one decade ago, a meteor fell, shattering the small citadel of Eastwatch. The disaster was unforseen, and the world fell into discord; sealed within the meteor was a frail humanoid, curled up and hibernating. The Institute of Organic Science were quick to descend upon the ruins, taking the sleeping alien into their grips and dubbing her as EVE, the angel from the skies.

But with EVE's arrival, they came. Grotesque, unique beasts, pulled from pocket dimensions across New Earth. They started off as small pests, potent in swarms but easily disposable at the hands of the common military. Over the first few years, the beasts - named Hydra - became comic book villains. Anti-Hydra teams became known as action stars, and for a while, the Hydra seemed almost too fictitious to be true.

Then, after the midnight hour of March 24th, 2758 - Hullchester fell. An abomination of Hydra, unlike anything the militia had ever seen before, tore through the sub-capitol. Human resources were spent in masses that day, and the rampage lasted for 18 hours. It was only then that we realised that it was only going to get worse, and it was not going to stop.</sub>

^{► //Children of EVE ◄}

^{The IOS came forwards with a proposition. They said that in order to fight monsters, they would need to fashion monsters of their own. With little opposition, Project:EVE was born; an ongoing and successful experiment involving the tranferring of EVE's DNA into preexisting human ovums. The resulting children are fast-growing, fast-learning, and remarkably unique, displaying superhuman qualities and mutations unlike anything the IOS could have predicted. Over the course of the next four years, 128 Children were commissioned, each displaying their own personal qualities.}

► A Guide on Character Creation ◄

<sup>∟ THE RANKING SYSTEM
► ► The Children of Eve are numbered 1 through 128 according to their potency. This system is implemented in order to appropriately match Children to high-risk missions and to maintain a balance within expedition groups; a group of Children will almost always contain a single-digit member.

∟ THE CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
► ► Children are split into the following three classes:
SAFE
Child poses no immediate threat to the environment or civilians. No containment procedures implemented.

PASSIVE
Child's threat level depends on circumstances. Accidental and collateral damage may occur when deployed. Child equipped with a mid-voltage shock collar.

HOSTILE
Child is innately uncooperative or aggressive, or struggles with self-control. Children with immensely destructive abilities may also fall under this category. Most HOSTILE-Class Children are never deployed, and are fitted with a optionally lethal shock collar.

∟ AGE
► ► The title of "Children" by no means refers to their appearance. As mentioned before, the Children of Eve are fast growing, so whilst they are biologically no older than four years old, their appearances, personalities and intellect suggest otherwise. Physical attributes vary greatly; one Child may appear no older than thirteen, whilst another may even seem to be approaching their 30s. The lifespan of a Child is not yet known.

∟ NAMES
► ► All Children of EVE are given a 'normal' name as part of social protocol. When deployed, The Institute who will refer to them by their Field Names, examples of which include: Beast, Sand, Crawler...

∟ ABILITIES
► ► The abilities of the Children of Eve vary greatly. Some display psychological and telekinetic abilities, whilst others have enhanced senses or physical strength. Others bear physical mutations; extra limbs, eyes, and other outlandish things. If I deem an ability as slightly overpowered, I will ask you to tweak it.</sup>

► The Hydra ◄

_{The Hydra are massively variant abominations, birthed from pocket dimensions which open briefly and frequently across the world. Whilst it seems they are intent on closing the distance between them and EVE, they are viciously hostile towards humans. Whilst vastly unique to each other in appearance, The Hydra are categorised by the following titles:}

Swarmers

^{Smaller, fragile beasts which make up for their individual weaknesses by grouping together in large numbers. These Hydra are commonly venomous and/or poisonous, and often bear insectoid features. Swarms are for the most part easier to deal with than other variants of Hydra, but still pose an immense threat to populated areas. The largest recorded swarm contained 297 flying Hydra, though numbers usually average at around 120.}

Hunters

^{Hunters are a primitive, highly aggressive form of Hydra, known for their savage attacks and tendency to appear and roam in packs of 3-12. Their behaviour is akin to that of wolves, in that they will prey upon the weaknesses of their victims. Whilst someone is fending off one Hunter from the front, another will attempt to snap at their ankles. Hunters are somewhat predictable, but Children must be vigilant as to not let themselves be tricked by pack behaviour.}

Loners

^{Loners are commonly recorded as the most advanced and deadly form of Hydra. Less primal and seemingly intelligent in nature, a Loner makes up for its independence with strange and unique mutations. They vary greatly in size and appearance, and are known to have abilities almost akin to the Children of EVE, such as soundwave emitting and minor telekinesis. Loners must be carefully observed before engaging; it is perhaps common sense to predict that a Loner who appears to be lacking defensively will more than likely display phenomenal offensive capabilities.}

Colossi

^{As the name suggests, the Colossi are Hydra which are gargantuan in size, ranging anywhere from the size of a double-decker bus to a ten storey building. They are slow and lumbering, and require a great deal of effort to bring down. In populated and urban areas, their mere presence can cause masses of collateral damage, resulting from their hulking size.}

@SilverDawn All yours!

//: Project:EVE

@Kafka Komedy

Some are certainly more successful than others, so yeah, something like that.

//: Project:EVE

@SilverDawn Oh! The position of 1 was requested a little while go via PM - it's completely my bad for not editing it in as soon as I saw it. Would you like another position maybe?

@LasreverI love her! No one has to be single-digit by any means, since there's more to EVE's children than just blatant violence. Looking forward to seeing her in play!

In other news, I'll have the IC up soon. Here's my own character in the meantime:

@Duoya Plenty of room!

//: Project:EVE

Reservations sorted. Glad to have you all!

//: Project:EVE

@Riddle Me This Looks great! I'll go ahead and slap him on the list.

@jynmi88 Absolutely!

Glad to have some more interest. I'll have my own CS up soon.

//: Project:EVE

@KaiBoyGreat to hear! Number 1 would indeed be the most lethal, since the ranking system is based off of offensive capabilities. A lower ranking number may not have the highest kill-count by any means, but they might have irreplaceable healing tears or even something as outlandish as the ability to emit Hydra-confusing soundwaves. Gravity manipulation could certainly be a thing!

//: Project:EVE

@Riddle Me This Glad to have some interest already!

To answer your question, if the number 1 spot were to be filled by someone whose only advancement was within their physical strength, I'd say that levelling a decently sized building wouldn't be beyond them. Think Hancock, minus the flight. Though I imagine that enhanced strength could be used in other ways, such as being able to wind up a punch so strong that hitting the earth would cause earthquake-like tremors. There is certainly a limit to just how powerful a Child of Eve can be, but it's a pretty high one. In my mind, 'overpowered' would involve something like being able to kill something just by touching it.
