Servant Combat Android
Origin Nation Name: Vafren
Nation Description: Vafren is a country on a far away island, nested in the middle of it's own private mountain range. They are most famous for specialized airship designs (not to be confused with airplanes or space ships) and while airships have been mostly used for transport due to it's inefficient design in warfare, Vafren have integrated the latest technologies and magical circuity into their flying monsters. Certainly, while they out perform most in-atmosphere ships, they are expensive.
Besides the throw back to more traditional dresses and garbs (<OOC Note: Victorian times, though England doesn't exist in this setting>), the society revolves around the higher class and the lower class, mostly separated by wealth. Those who have money hold titles and power while those who do not, often serve the high class. The society is filled with parties and socialization as well formality and politeness.
To this end, they are famous for one other wonder in the world - Servant Combat Androids. Unlike normal Androids, even unlike more battle-ready androids, these robots are laced with extremely complex magics like the airships. Only about fifty exist in the world and they take advantage of Vafrenian society and magical rules by restricting the more powerful arts of these androids to those they serve. Essentially the android has to recognize someone as their Master in order to function fully. Though it can be tricky and is unique from each Servant Combat Android, they are highly sought out and prized by all manner of people.
Allegiances: Tied loosely with Queen of Hearts Bar.

Race: Servant Combat Android
Race Description: Ardella is one of fifty Servant Combat Androids to exist in Aeith. They are androids made from some of the latest technology and some of the most complex magical etchings. While this makes them very powerful and very capable as individuals (as each houses an unique A.I.), their true potential is only fully realized when they submit to a Master and serve them as intended.
Typical Outfit Description: Ardella tends to favor simple outfits that offer a lot of movement and freedom, such as tight shirts and shorts. She can be seen wearing high socks a lot of the time and flat boots, seeming to take a very practical and yet fashionable approach to her wardrobe. Unlike her picture though, she can be seen as completely human, making it difficult to tell the difference with so many cyborgs running around.
Eye Color: Light Blue
Hair Color: Blue
P E R S O N A L I T Y
Summary: Ardella is calm and collected and focused. While she doesn't seem overly ambitious, she had a kind heart and adores serving others if given the chance - so long as she feels it's genuine and not simply being taken advantage of. Clever and detail-oriented, she can sometimes have a very clear youthful and joyful nature to her, though at other times can be very formal and polite - all depending on her mood.
Mental Strengths: Focused, determined, detail-oriented
Mental Weaknesses: Can sometimes fail to see the bigger picture, can seem naive at times
Loves/Likes: Video games, stuffies, purple, blue, serving others, cats, logic puzzles
Hates/Dislikes: Being in charge, arrogance, intolerance
Fears: Being alone and not having a Master
Brief BackgroundCreated and built only 32 years ago, Ardella is the newest model of the Servant Combat Android, though she ran into bad luck very quickly. After gaining some bearings of her new environment and her new Mistress, there was a revolt in the area where she was sadly shot by a stray bullet - even though the rebels did not intend to kill anyone. She spent some years at the mansion where her Mistress was, but never found anyone to be of similar quality and so did not submit to the command of another. Instead, she sent out only a few years ago and found the Queen of Hearts Bar, applying to be a bus maid in hopes that one of the many travelers might be a suitable Master for her. She has yet to find a single person.
T A L E N T S
Magic- Specialized Runic Chassis Add-On: Mostly complex runic carvings that protect against specific forms of magical attack, however there has been so many places carved into her chassis by highly specialized (and expensive) wizards, that generally she has a a constant magical barrier around her being. However one cannot prepare for all eventualities and thus any spell that's more complex than journeyman level can pierce through the barrier - though they must also overcome her physical protections then. Though this barrier is only fully functional under a Master, otherwise it exists only to ward the most basic of spells.
- Swift Blink: A very specialized and specific spell placed onto her chassis that allows extremely quick movements. To make them inhumanly fast however, restrictions were placed that only serving a Master could unlock it, and only with a very high trust in said Master.
Technology- Specialized Android Chassis: Her body is made from some of the most advanced technology to exist within Aieth, meaning her circuits are extremely complex, forming a nearly human intelligence as well guards against outside influences - mostly hacking. Firewalls are in place that would absolutely erase most viruses and could very well delete hacking programs or other A.I.s completely. Her body is made from a very light and strong magnesium-tungsten alloy, weighing less than aluminum and yet nearly as strong as pure tungsten. Though there are definitely military-grade weapons mostly on star ships, military vehicles and artillery that can penetrate the chassis, it's also equipped with nanobots for self-repair. However the complexity of the allow makes repair at a mild speed, meaning she can be overpowered via multiple enemies with such weaponry.
- Basic Neural Net: Ardella has a basic, though high-speed and reliable connection to the world net at all times through an implant in her cybernetic brain.
- Synthetic Skin: Over her chassis is a synthetic, artificial skin that is often repaired via her nano-bots, though provides very little protection. However it does provide a human appearance as well as a nervous system, though Ardella is able to control the intensity of the signals relayed to her CPU, up to the point of turning it off if she wishes. This is usually used for her services and normally goes off during combat situations as sensors tell her of her current condition without the need of nervous system messages.
- Enhanced Vision: Ardella can switch to night vision or inferred or thermal vision. She also sees more sharply than any human and can analyze and take in twice as much data at the same time.
Skills- Martial Arts Mastery (Knives): While well versed in many types of martial disciplines, being a combat android, her specialty is in the wielding of knives. This takes advantage of her speed and finding openings in her opponents, especially once she closes the range between her weapon and theirs. She is however specifically limited to only using her right hand until she is serving a Master, in which she is allowed full motion of both hands.
- Service (Expert): Besides being a combat android, she was designed to be of service. This can range from cooking, cleaning, organizing, repairs, alchemy, even sexual - the expert level comes from being adequate in dozens of skills at the same time. Advanced services such as her sexual or those of more personal levels are restricted to her Master if she has one and any commands said Master has.
Powers- A.I.: By definition an A.I. cannot function like a human brain, so she is immune to having her mind read, charmed, or illusions of any kind. She is also immune to fear spells, poisons, and diseases and does not have to eat, sleep, breath or eat. However she is weak to EMP damage (though it does not disable her completely) and any spells that damage constructs/robots on any level. She is also capable of being hacked (though her specific chassis makes this difficult).
