Description


“When I first awoke, all I knew was to consume.”

”An endless song rings within my soul, but what does it mean?”




「」 |  Yvette Arvadine

    Age ✧ 772 (memories only go back to 82 years) | appears 13

    Gender ✧ Genderless | Female (in their human form)

    Height ✧ 145 cm | 4’9”

    Species ✧ Alien Life Form 

Yvette is an alien creature that fell from outer space.  Yvette can take the form of anything it has absorbed by mimicking its structure with its own body composition (a cellular-like structure system that can ‘analyse’ information and create something virtually similar).  It’s base level of intelligence depends on the collective knowledge of what it has absorbed.

    House ✧ Vega





A R C A N A


Major ✧ Aqua「 Water 」

Minor ✧ Verto 「 Change 」



✧ | Spells | ✧


    Ice Creation

    ✧ Aqua「 Water 」 | Verto 「 Change 」|


Duration: Indefinitely or until released

Cast time: 5 seconds - 1 minute (depending on size and complexity)

Max volume: 1 meter cubed

Properties: Plain ice


Utilizing nearby water sources (water vapor, puddles, rain, pools, etc.), Yvette can rapidly form things out of ice.  As of right now, the maximum volume that can be created at a time is approximately 1 meter cubed.  It can be shaped into anything, so long as Yvette can imagine it.  Yvette can cheat a little by priorly consuming data of items to create a kind of macro that lets them create certain things a little faster (specifically if the item has internal mechanisms).  For now, the ice created through ice creation has no extra properties, meaning the ice is actual ice, and can be maintained up until an hour at a maximum volume of 1 meter cubed combined.  Without Mist, it can only be created within 3 meters of Yvette (the range will become larger as Yvette becomes stronger).

When creating objects, up to 5 large non-complex objects can be made at a time (i.e. blades, icicles, etc).  Yvette can create up to the maximum volume of smaller ice parts (i.e. needles, small blades) in one go, but it will take around a minute to make.

Yvette can only control a max volume of 1 meter cubed at a time of ice.

The ice can change shape after being made due to the Verto property, but is still subjected to Cast Time.

When not maintained with magic, the ice can either melt like ordinary ice or dissipate immediately.

As Yvette grows stronger, the volume of ice that Yvette can control and the range the ice may be created in increases; the property will also evolve, but remain within the aqua arcana line.



    Mist

    ✧ Aqua「 Water 」 | Verto 「 Change 」|


Duration: 15-20 minutes

Cast time: 3 minutes

Cool down: 1 hour

Size: 10 meters diameter

Properties: Water vapor with a slight cleansing effect


Condensing the water vapor from the surrounding area, Yvette can create a small domain of fog that is approximately 10 meters in diameter.  Due to its thickness, it limits light vision (but not others) and dampens the senses of hearing and smell by a little bit, allowing Yvette to hide in it.  It can also be used by Yvette to ‘feel’ their surroundings.  Mist provides a large water source for Yvette’s ice creation magic and allows their creation range to increase by two times within the field and halves the cast time.  However, as of right now, Mist can only be continuously maintained for around 15 to 20 minutes or so (fluctuating dependent on humidity) due to high energy consumption.  As of right now, Yvette cannot control the size of the domain and the property of the field is water vapor with only a slight cleansing effect.  When not maintained, it is possible for wind to clear the fog.

It is possible to support the magic of other  Aqua「 Water 」casters if Yvette allows it.

When in use, the humidity immediately outside of the field drops to almost zero.

As Yvette grows stronger, the range and time of this spell increases while the cool down and cast time decreases.  The properties of the spell will also evolve, although will continue following the aqua arcana line (i.e. it cannot gain fire effects, but burn effects may be possible by increasing the temperature of the water vapor and turning it into steam).


✧ | Passives | ✧



    Alien Body

Yvette’s body is a mass of cell-like material that can create more of itself as long as there is a steady supply of material and energy.  It is relatively durable and has a somewhat low energy absorption ability and is able to live independently from the main core in a dormant state.  However, if a part is separated from the main core, it cannot do anything and can be broken down if eaten or destroyed.  The cell-like material also acts like a giant sensory organ and is able to gather various kinds of data around it (energy levels, temperature, humidity, various chemical data, etc.).  Although their body can absorb energy, if the energy is too massive and sudden, it may trigger a resistance from Yvette's body, causing it to crack and possibly even fracture.



    Transformation

Yvette is capable of transforming into anything they have consumed; the downsides are, once Yvette has transformed, they must remain in that state for the next 24 hours due to the extreme energy consumption, they also require an hour or so to transform.  They generally prefer their female human form, however, and is uncomfortable if they’re anything else for a long time.  Though it is possible for Yvette to alter their transformations from the original, but it requires study and knowledge as well as time to evolve and mature (which is why Yvette still looks like a child despite having the body’s data for over seven decades, although Yvette has been able to grasp how to grow hair/nails).  When initially absorbed, the transformation may only exist in appearance only (i.e. if Yvette transforms into a dragon, Yvette wouldn’t be able to use dragon abilities) and Yvette may not be able to move properly.



    Regeneration

As long as their core is undamaged, Yvette is capable of regenerating/reattach damaged parts.  This ability is significantly weaker when they are not in their original body, especially regeneration.  Regeneration also costs a larger amount of energy than, say, reattaching.  In their initial body, this ability has very little lag time, but in their human body, it may take a few minutes to heal a scrape, an hour or so to completely reattach a limb, and a day to entirely regrow/regenerate.  This passive works as long as there is enough energy within Yvette’s body.  Energy can be absorbed via consumption of material and friendly/non-aggressive magic, or regained over time.  Parts that are separated from the core can remain in proper condition unless destroyed, and can be reactivated if in contact with the main body; however, those parts will harden and lose color over time, becoming transparent and crystalline-like.



    Absorption

Yvette is able to absorb anything to break down and analyze, as long as they are given enough time.  For something small and generally made of only a few parts/materials, like a stone or a key, will only take a moment, while something larger and more complex may take a day to a few months (Yvette’s current body took half a year).  It also requires organic organisms to be well preserved (i.e. in ice).  Yvette can absorb in any form; however, the optimal way of absorbing is in it’s actual form.



    Mass Storage

Yvette can store materials that they consume within their body.  In their human form, it is primarily stored within the hair as Yvette does not understand how humans grow as of now.  Storage can decrease if lost through damage or used when regenerating.



✧ | Weapon | ✧


    Spira

Property: Magically conductive

Type: Thread based slicing/binding weapon

Range: 10 meters

Difficulty: High

A bracelet of extremely sharp threads made from the silk of a spider monster, it is magically conductive and responsive to the user’s energy and is almost invisible to the naked eye.  It becomes faster and more sensitive when used within the Mist spell domain.  It requires a bit of concentration to use.




P E R S O N A L I T Y


Blunt | Rational | Adaptative | Curious | Cunning | Careful

Yvette is blunt, to an almost machine-like degree.  They normally will not lie, but instead will either omit or not say information they do not want others to know.  However, that does not say that they are not cunning, as they are very good at thinking outside of the box and adapting.

Emotionally, Yvette has very little experience.  Although Yvette has observed many people, their knowledge of what it should feel like has just begun to bud.  As a result, Yvette may come off as cold-hearted and emotionless.

Yvette is also very good at hiding their actual understanding of a situation and ability under a facade of naivety and weakness.  In reality, they actually understand quite a bit, but prefer to act dumb in order to see what information the other party might give them.  They are often reluctant to reveal their true ability in front of strangers.

SUMMARY (Full with more detail underneath)


「」(Yvette) was an alien that crash landed onto the surface of a planet and damaged their core, causing them to lose their memories.  It took a long time to restore and when they woke up, they spent a large amount of time eating the things around them to gain more knowledge.  Eventually they make it to land and is a wolf for a while before eating the body of a girl that would become the basis of Yvette's current body.  They are then adopted by an old couple who give them the name 'Yvette'.  The couple dies and Yvette begins to wander around, not fully understanding the world.  As a result, they end up killing a large amount of creatures and devouring them before being found by their 'Father', a retired adventurer.  They travel together while 'Father' teaches them more about the world.  However, like the old couple, 'Father' ends up aging while Yvette stays the same and dies also.  However, because of their father, they learn to not mindlessly eat people and eventually begins to learn how to act like a human and how knowledge doesn't just require 'devouring' to obtain.


FULL BIO

“Because of a system failure, I was born anew.”

「」 is an alien creature that fell from outer space.  Due to the landing procedure failing, 「」 lost its memories from the impact.

「」 spent a majority of its time in a dormant state, imprisoned under a frozen lake, as it restored its body into working condition.  Due to low temperatures and loss of data through the damage 「」 took, the restoration process took an extremely long time.  It would not be until hundreds of years later before 「」 could fully awaken.

After awakening, 「」 spent a lot of its time under the lake, slowly consuming and analyzing the materials around them.  Although it had no previous knowledge of what it was, it slowly became aware of its abilities.  For a while, it took the form of many things from the lake, before it gained something called ‘curiosity’.  ‘It’ wanted to know more.


“This hunger called ‘Curiosity’, gave me reason.”


Thus 「」 migrated to land, taking the form of ice, as it knew in order to successfully consume an organic creature, preserving the cellular structure was a must.  It floated until it reached land, waiting and waiting.  After years of waiting, finally, an old and sickly wolf died next to it in a snowstorm.  Sensing its chance, 「」 consumed the dying wolf before finally being able to transform into the wolf itself.  

As the wolf, 「」 wandered the land of snow, observing the world around it.  It became aware of things, such as hunting.  Watching other wolves, 「」 began to mimic their actions.  It had difficulty due to the sickly body of the original, and quickly sought out a new form.  Finding a wolf that had been wounded by an elk hunt, it ate it.

「」 soon discovered that upon taking the new wolf’s body, it gained all of its injuries.  However, over time, using the data of the older wolf, it was able to patch it up enough to be useable.  

Now with a more ‘fit’ body, 「」 began to eat.


“Ah, not enough.”


Due to the oddity of 「」’s nature, creatures avoided it.  Even the original wolf pack that the body of 「」 was from rejected it - smelling not the familiar scent of their brethren, but an odd sharp, non-living odor - and ran away.  Once again 「」 wandered the white land, alone.

One day, 「」 came across a curious thing.

Trapped under a layer of snow was the body of a little girl.


“Perhaps, you can follow me on this endless journey.”


「」, coming across an unknown lifeform, became intrigued.  It began to eat her, analyzing her body structure.  The process took much longer than anything it had eaten before; however, after half a year, it managed to transform into the girl.

To 「」, the girl’s body was the most comfortable.  

With her new body, 「」 wandered.  She came across an old couple, who took her in, thinking she was a lostling.  They gave her food and called her Yvette, teaching her how to speak.  Over time, the couple realized that Yvette did not grow, remaining the same since the day they found her.  However, instead of growing fearful, they continued to treat Yvette like their granddaughter until the day they died.

For the first time in the calm analysis of the world around her, Yvette felt something beyond that of cold observation.

Sadness.


“I could not understand.”


Yvette left the old couple, once again returning to her wandering.  Perhaps because of being in the icy water for so long, Yvette gained the ability to manipulate ice.  Or, perhaps, the body that she had taken had an innate talent for water magic.  Wherever she went, ice would follow, dropping the temperature around her.

As she wandered, she learned more things, experiencing many situations that she could not understand.  Although the old couple had been accepting of her strangeness, it did not mean that others were as open.  Many times, she was fearfully driven out of villages and called a monster.

However, Yvette felt nothing, and instead continued seeking to understand that emotion of sadness.


“To you, who guided me.”


Eventually, she met a middle aged man, who found her eating the corpses of humans that attacked her.  Because she reminded him of his late daughter, he took her under his wing, teaching her more about humans and other creatures.  They traveled together, and through him, she came to understand a little more of the world around her.  The man became her father, and gave her the surname Arvadine.

The two journeyed and met many different people and Yvette learned many new things.  However, just like with the old couple, she did not change while the man grew older.  And like the old couple, he also passed away, leaving her with a sense of not just sadness but something else.


“Again.”


That something else would vanish when she was with people, but returned when she had to leave them.  For now, she understood, that not aging was something unnatural.

Wandering by herself for countless years, Yvette eventually came across Luna Academy and decided to attend, curious for knowledge - and, perhaps, seeking acceptance.




✧ | Extra Information | ✧


✧ Yvette has no concept of gender, so use whatever pronouns you feel comfortable with them.  Even they will ping-pong between their pronouns, although  may sometimes default to ‘she/her’ due to their time living with their ‘Father’.

✧「」 is Yvette’s original ‘name’.  It’s not really a name so much as an identifier and cannot be deciphered by ear.  It’s more of a frequency code that contains information of Yvette’s current state.

✧ Yvette’s heart doesn’t beat and their skin is very cold.

✧ Yvette prefers to ‘rest’ in cold water.

✧ Yvette does not sleep, although if enough damage is done to them or if they lose enough energy, they may enter a ‘hibernation’ mode for an unknown amount of time.

✧ Spira was a ‘birthday’ present from her ‘father’.  He took the thread of a great magical spider that Yvette had killed during their stay in a forest to a weapon maker he knew and had it made for her.  As a result, it is the most important thing to Yvette.

✧ It took Yvette a few humans to understand how the human tongue worked.  After managing to properly formulate the structure of a human tongue, Yvette has come to enjoy food a lot.

✧ After Yvette’s father first found her eating humans, he made her stop.  Now she’s officially stopped eating humans and human-like creatures.  However, as a result, her understanding of the human body has slowed down by a great amount.

✧ Yvette responds to people the way they respond to her.  If they treat her kindly, she will treat them back; if they attempt to kill her, ah, well…

✧ Their eyes are decoration.

✧ Yvette is very good at hunting.

✧ They won't ever show it to you, but their core appears like an iridescent opal.

✧ Yvette doesn't breath unless they want to talk, and their breath is always extremely cold.

✧ Yvette may not like being forced to hibernate, but they do like staying stationary for long periods of time.  Due to any lack of movement, they are often mistaken for dead.
