Antikythera

Another creature of That Playah.

Antikythera ("Ann," "Kyth," or other variations are all fine) represents the greatest height of some far-off civilization. Her exact origin is a mystery, even to her - likely due to damage sustained early in her journey - and she has spent an indeterminate amount of time trying to find and return to her builders' homeworld. Her smart matter construction enables her to change and adapt over time, and she can break down nearly any matter into raw materials given enough time. It also grants her incredible durability, prompting the question of what exactly managed to damage her in the first place.

BIO

Personality

Antikythera tends to be more on the serious side, bordering on melancholy at times, but isn't immune to good humor and does genuinely seem to enjoy the company of others. It can be hard to tell; she's not the most talkative sapient around, despite her extensive bank of translation matrices. The best way to get her to open up? Share music. It's perhaps the thing she loves most of all.

Appearance

Usually standing at approximately 6'4" (193 cm), Antikythera's figure could be be described as slim and elegant, though by no means androgynous. Her "skin" is a matte silver broken by darker bands at the joints, and various subtle lines trail to and fro, hints at hidden machinery. Flowing golden tendrils descend from her head to her ankles. Curiously, they seem to shift about subtly from time to time. Her sensor eyes glitter a similar shade in their mechanical sockets.

She wears a simple silvery dress in terms of clothing. The inner surface is trailed with thousands upon thousands of golden pathways. She has never revealed the exact purpose of these, but they seem to glow slightly in the dark.

It is unlikely that her full appearance has been revealed.

Abilities

Antikythera is powered by a vacuum energy generator. Primarily, this serves to feed her powerful engines when in flight, but she has no issues with turning this nigh-limitless supply of energy to other purposes. An attacker would have a difficult time ever getting close to her - she has, after all, had quite a long time to construct (and use) a vast array of weaponry for use on scales ranging from a few meters to nigh-interplanetary. If you can get close, though, you'll likely have an easier time of it... slightly. She's immensely strong but not a skilled melee fighter. She also has little resistance or understanding of magic. Some things don't play nice with technology.

Equally useful is her ability to interface with most machinery. Firewalls are a joke and even the strongest encryption presents a relaxing puzzle akin to a newspaper crossword.

Finally, Ann keeps stores of a wide range of elements and can fabricate basic items from them such as ingots, sheets, and certain simple machinery. More complex items can be constructed, but this takes a lot of time and energy.

Basically, this is where Story Nonsense goes. Feel free to ignore if you don't care; it isn't really important.
