This is purely a concept. May or may not develop further. Currently I'm making the app for the sake of making the app.Derp it, I'm running with it. Going 2 for 2.
Let's go.
Name: Trace
Spoiler
Race: Bioroid
- Similar to a cyborg, except more machine than biological. Most have a mechanical mind, with more advanced versions emulating biological learning and thought. Biological systems are either utilized or emulated within the design of bioroids.
- The systems used are still in early testing, with many setbacks delaying progress. It would be more likely to find a cyborg or android than a bioroid.
- See notes on TRACE
Age:
- Appearance: ~20-25 years
- Operational: 5 months (BETA Phase)
- Development: 6 years (ALPHA Phase)
Appearance:
Spoiler

Personality: She's lukewarm, as in not quite cold and calculating nor warm and emotional yet capable of both. Her emotional range is limited and only comes from her emulated mind.
Biography/Backstory:
Trace is a prototype Bioroid, for a project of the same name as her, to serve as a test platform for the more recent design of a synthetic brain. In addition she was created to also test other things such as the companion utility drone.
That is the public story.
The true intent is to develop a system that can utilize the abnormal abilities caused by mutations via a controlled mechanical system. Trace contains hidden organic systems that have the desired mutations which would then theoretically be able to be used by the mechanical systems. The original prototype which used a pure mechanical mind could not control the powers granted by the organic mutations, and thus was destroyed. The synthetic brain was developed to control these powers, which utilizes a base mechanical system combined with what was termed the Encephalon System, the part that emulates biological thought processes. Trace was designed as a generic testing platform for any form of these mutated organic modules, nicknamed "black-boxes" since they are made to be hidden underneath the more public notion that Trace was to be a utility droid.
She has one "black-box" system that is core to her function. It was placed by her creator in an attempt to prevent her from being misused.
***
After 6 years in development, the team working on Trace announced they had entered the BETA Phase for testing Trace's systems; they were ready for practical tests.
On the way to a classified testing location, the transport Trace was on became involved in a tragic accident. When emergency response teams arrived, all the scientists and crew on board were found dead.
Trace was found holding onto her companion drone as if she was afraid of loosing it. Despite the tragedy that had occurred, the scientists that were involved in the project were excited that she might be developing human emotions.
Everything about the accident was documented as classified, in addition to being overshadowed by the promise of Trace's possible emotional capacity. No one truly knows what happened, except Trace.
When investigators tried to extract the information from Trace's memories, they found that she had no recorded memories in her Primary mind.
Four months pass, testing resumes for Trace as usual.
Equipment/Functions:

Floating companion drone that serves as an extension of Trace that contains various utilities and functions that couldn't have been placed in her body.
Initial appearance:

I'll follow a sort of upgrade pattern depending on what Trace goes through and what she prioritizes throughout the RP. I'll be using this as a general idea for what I'll be doing.

In addition to basic utility, it can also transform into a set of jet wings that grant Trace the ability to fly. Totally not ripping off the Archwings of Warframe in a sense.
It could also turn into other things (possibly the giant mechanical arms shown above) but mainly she just uses the wings.
Spoiler
Initial appearance:
Still not ripping off Warframe

Examples of basic utility functions it could have:
- Welding/Cutter laser
- Carrier function (Magnetic systems)
- Scout Mode (Trace can see through it)
- Medical/Repair (based on laser)
- 3D Printer Mode
- Toaster
- Storage
- TRACE
Spoiler
Trace herself is a synthetic bio-organic android with some things being modified in order to withstand the activities she would be doing.
The most notable of these modifications is her increased resilience in high g-force situations as well as skin that is resistant to puncture to high velocity impacts.
(Another notable thing is that her "clothes" are actually a part of her skin and her hair is of a similar material to her skin.)
Inside she has simulated organs, however, excluded is anything that isn't vital to her function since most of the simulated organs take up more room than organic ones. Only her primary brain is of comparable size to that of a human brain, if not slightly small.
Her mental systems have the following two main systems:
- Encephalon System: The system that emulates the biological mind. Creates a virtual reality composed of memories within her primary brain.
- Primary Brain: Her mechanical mind which contains her base code and knowledge library.
Other functions:
- Vision Augmentations: Her eyes have various lenses that allow her to see surroundings differently. Night and IR Vision are the most prominent 2 modes aside from standard vision. Additional modes could potentially be added via Black-box systems.
- Optional Modules (Black-box systems)
Spoiler
Ability:
- Chronal Perception: Capable of seeing all possible timelines simultaneously. Virtually impossible to discern the possible future that will occur from those that might occur, therefore making it impractical to predict the "true" future with it. This Black-box is often left in Trace since it actually is quite small, however it is often kept disabled since testing has confirmed that Trace's primary mind cannot handle the information presented by it.
The probability of one timeline being the "true" timeline increases as the time until the observed event approaches 0.
- Force pulse: Ability to manifest a pulse of energy at a point to "push" objects.
- Other abilities may be added as Black-boxes are made. Trace can only have a total of 4 major black-boxes, meaning she can obtain 3 more abilities, since Chronal Perception does not take a black-box slot.
Notes:
"Across the rift are truths which are terribly wonderful to behold."
>"May or may not develop further"
>Proceeds to develop fully.
Edit: Done for now. Due to the nature of black-boxes, it would technically be possible for her ability list to grow.
*An OC that was not derived from EG has appeared*
Mark your calendars boys and girls, It's finally happened.Name: Evi
Spoiler
Race: Bioroid
- See Trace for notes
Age:
- Appearance: ~20-25 years
- Operational: 1 months (BETA Phase)
- Development: 4 Months (ALPHA Phase)
Appearance:
Similar to Trace. Most notable differences are:
- Hair color: Black
- Eye color: green
- More "robust" frame
- Slight touches of armor plating at joints. Most armor is under the skin, making it appear that she does not have any.
- Overall color schemes: Blacks, greens, and greys

Personality: Her Encephalon is a modified version of Trace's when she began to show emotion. The modifications have made her appear more cunning. Also, the modifications inadvertently made her more volatile, which is often hidden by her Primary mind. This makes her appear to most cold and calculating but often displaying a sly smile as if she thought of something devious.
Biography:
When Trace showed signs of emotion, there were two types of reactions: Joy that the synthetic mind was working and frustration that the potential replacement of the Infinite project could be rendered useless due to the developing humanity. Those that sought the combat replacement made a replica of Trace, copying her Encephalon and making what was deemed "necessary adjustments." The primary fact was that they knew in order to make full use of the mutations, a more human mind would be necessary. They began testing to see how much would be needed. The new Encephalon system, codenamed EVI, which would become the name of this Trace replica, was pushed through accelerated development when the current level of human emulation was insufficient to achieve the desired effectiveness with the mutation abilities. However, as this process continued, emergent properties began to surface in Evi's personality; she became more volatile and patterns appeared that would suggest she was scheming. At this point, they settled for the effectiveness they had, which, to their disappointment was subpar to that of Trace, and immediately tried to correct Evi's behaviors.
Upon attempting to directly change the Encephalon, they found that it merely would revert itself. Thus, they placed heavy limitations to the Encephalon through the Primary mind. This appeared to work, making Evi truly a machine in comparison to Trace.
***
In conjunction with finalizing the synthetic mind for Evi, her body was also nearing completion. Being a replica of Trace, the frame appeared similar, however it was modified to fit a more combat oriented role. The team decided to use an assassin archetype with her body's design; making it mostly so that it wasn't obvious on the outside that she was made for combat and giving her traits that would benefit her in dark areas. Her eyes use both normal vision and night vision simultaneously, allowing her to switch between either mode immediately; hence her green eyes. Her synthetic skin is similar to that of Trace, but more rugged for close quarters combat; it can also shift tone to act as a sort of camouflage.
Equipment/Functions:
Spoiler
- MAG
Spoiler
Identical to Trace's, except most utility functions have been either weaponized or replaced with some form of weaponry. The drone in its base form has a concealed gun feature.
The appearance fits her overall theme.
Default drone appears as the following:

Her wings take the form:

- TRACE MkII
Spoiler
The combat variant of Trace's body. A heavier, more robust frame that includes more armor and slots for black-boxes (See Trace's notes). Rather than being an additional system to her Primary, mechanical mind, the Encephalon was given a dedicated system and serves as a Secondary mind. The two minds are capable of operating independently of each other, however the Primary is in direct control of the body. Any actions that the secondary mind must go through the primary before it can be executed.
Notes:
Evi is capable of making her own Black-box systems, up to 6. She can "harvest" biological samples that exhibit the mutation and implement them into the black box. Typically this involves removal of an organ from the specimen.
She will start with:
- Invisibility: Makes the user optically invisible. The black-box system can only maintain invisibility for less than a minute before needing to recharge.
- She has 5 more slots for abilities.
"Say my name. You know what it really is."
A bit rough, meant to supplement a contrast for Trace. I gave her 1 starting ability. Like Trace, but a bit more aggressive, she will gain more abilities as the story goes.
