Here's a character thingy plus some other stuff. Want to get some perspective on it.
SIVA Project Records/Description
SIVA is a self assembling and replicating nanotechnology designed by Eternum, a private corporation dedicated to creating a colony on a planet or planetoid that is not Earth. Our own moon, Mars, and beyond, prep is being made After World War 3, the advent of Infinitus energy and for some, a need for safety, the project skyrocketed in popularity, not just with Eternum officials, but many avid folks who desired something new, rather than a war-torn world.
SIVA when directed can make practically anything. Habitats, equipment, repairs, all made of a single incredibly flexible material. You give it a command, and it executes that command until the next is given. All it requires is some matter for conversion, and it can work flawlessly. This material can be something advanced like steel, concrete, rubble, or even more mundane things such as dirt, water, and even living beings, if desperate.
SIVA mites can communicate to each other via electrical signals either by direct contact or through the air. This network all follows the same set of commands given, unless otherwise directed to.
It doesn’t expire, degrade or forget it’s commands, and with no need for an external power source, any problem a deep-space colonist could have, SIVA could fix.
SIVA was named for the (late) Chief Engineer on the project, Sival Andors. It is not an acronym, as many believe.
Late in the project, the world’s government bought out the company and thus the project. To some, it was a letdown, however many others believed this would put even more funding towards the project,
Space travel was not their concern, however. SIVA had endless applications. One of high interest was militarization.
Body armor, weapon enhancement, near instant barricades, the possibilities continued.
After a test of exposure to try and “enhance” a human, they gained a central control unit. Now all that was left was to make it compliant, and they wouldn’t even need to program sets individually, rather have the nanomachines reprogrammed on the fly. The central control unit is -[REDACTED]

OPENING DOCUMENT: MOORWOOD
Name: Aleria Moorwood
Race: Human
Age: 28
Biography: Aleria lived a simple life. Grew up, went to school. She was always a tinkerer, messing with things, trying to improve them. Multiple degrees in engineering and programming made them a quality candidate, and the company Eternum hired them for work on the SIVA project.
They tinkered with it’s code and it’s physical attributes, submitting new iteration after new iteration.
Even after the government buyout, they continued to work dutifully, their insight into the ins and outs of SIVA very valuable. However, those higher on the chain of commands had ideas for them.
They wanted a central control/processing unit. Something to help control SIVA on the fly. Aleria was their first choice. After luring them into a testing room with the guise of there being a “problem” with an experiment, they sealed them in, leaving SIVA to convert them into what they desired. It did so, despite her pleads, her screams and wails of agony as parts of her were taken apart molecule by molecule.
By the end of it, she looked nothing like before, muscles replaced with a variant of SIVA, her lower half completely gone and the pigment in their hair extracted. They were bound to a wall of SIVA, a net of it to act as a base. They spoke to them like she was a machine, issuing commands.
Did they think the SIVA wiped her? Aleria went along with it however, assuming a more monotone and cold voice, despite the agony wracking through them. If they showed a single sign they were still themselves, they were dead.
Between the pain and orders, she internally planned, especially as the directors began using a system of SIVA throughout the facility to control most electrical systems. Their wires extended throughout the system, and they planned and planned in response, something finally coming together as they learned the extent of their capabilities.
They made schematics for armor to be constructed immediately when needed. A more direct control system below them served as disguise for a large set of armored legs. Weapons were constucted. And after months of pain, stress, and forced to comply with their captors? Aleria was ready.
In a singular moment, they initiated it. Explosion wracked the building as wires throughout the building created volatile charges of energy. They armored themselves, dismounting from their perch to the legs, which disconnected from the station.
They blasted their way out of the facility, mowing down many to attempted to stop her. They subjected her to months of torture and experimentation, she wasn't going to feel remorse for any of them.
After leaving dead and a practically demolished building in their wake, the government tried to cover up what they could, and the SIVA project was discontinued.
Aleria is still at large, their location unknown. But they are being hunted. They are too dangerous to be left alive, so Aleria is on the move, looking for somewhere where they can stop and truly hide.
Appearance: Similar to this, however her visible eye is a bright glowing red and they are far more pale.
Personality: Aleria before was considered brave, always taking risks in their tinkering, and accepting the consequences for what came after. They always cared about others, making time to help colleagues even when busy. They were dutiful, rarely ever skipping a day of work, even when sick. If there was anyone who deserved the title: Employee of the Month, it would likely be her.
However, after the conversion, they’re far more cautious, fearful of other humans and always trying to plan ahead instead of risking their life. They're honestly paranoid, unwilling to fully trust anyone after the betrayal and months of agony they were forced to go through. It would take quite a fair bit of time for them to open up to such ideas again.
Abilities: Aleria has the ability to control, use and create SIVA mites, able to make structures, equipment, armor and much more. Larger structures, such as buildings, vehicles and similar things require far more time and focus than others. They can make a barricade in a few seconds, but a house might take closer to 30 minutes.
Another notable thing they can make are volatile charges. These can be thrown like a grenade, or Aleria can place them or generate them along wires and manually detonate them. Explosion is fairly large, also leaves a cloud of SIVA mites which aggressively attack anything within their radius (other than Aleria).
Short range teleport via use of conductive SIVA mites and a rapid disassembly and reassembly process. It only works for themselves and other non-organic matter and has a range of around 35 feet.
Spider-legs can latch onto walls/ceiling and move along them normally. Aleria does get somewhat disoriented from doing this, however.
Skills: Notably, they are an excellent engineer and programmer. They like the physical work more than programming, but can do both at equal measure.
They do enjoy cooking, despite their real lack of need for it personally anymore. It's more just for the taste.
Other: Has been seen to create a variety of weapons using SIVA. Examples follow:
1: An automatic rifle, kills cause the corpse to become a breeding ground for SIVA mites, aggressively seeking out Aleria’s foes. https://imgur.com/1cIpqi5
2: Long range semi-auto rifle. Holding down the trigger charges up a shot, causing the area around the impact zone to be infested with a cloud of mites. https://imgur.com/tm4Ujqi
3: Directed energy weapon. Requires a charge-up, and fires a large bolt of energy at the target. Very powerful, can easily penetrate the hulls of advanced tanks and robotic foes. Mites can generate at the target area for additional damage. https://imgur.com/xmzom1e
4: Greatsword, Aleria wields this large blade with one hand. If the slash is not lethal, the SIVA mites every swing leaves behind can be, eating away at an opponent’s flesh or infesting electronics and converting them. https://imgur.com/WgPuOTP
