Physical Characteristics

  • Height: 5"9'
    Weight: 115lb
    Measurements: [typical] 32DD-25-35

    Build and Skin Color:
    Build is wiry and muscular though while muscle-masses are relaxed, they are evenly distributed, appearing smooth and relaxed with no specific tone. Muscle-tone shift can be observed when expecting physical exertsion and is a common sign Rebeka is agitated. Skin is typically of a milky coloration though is capable of taking on a wide range of precice colorations and tones.

    Facial Features and Eye Color:
    Rebeka's features are fair though they lean towards an asian or eastern- europian form in preference. Eye-color is typically of a dim reddish color, following the pigment of the Sourcian eye-organ.
    Hair color and Style: Hair is usually flat and long, from just below Rebeka's eyebrows up front to about the middle of her back behind. Like her skin, the coloration is white but is able to change.

    Distinguishing Features:
    When agitated, red markings can be observed around the edges of Rebeka's eyes and cheeks and occasionally a bristled antler like form beneath Rebeka's hair little larger than a finger from each temple. About Rebeka's back, tummy and inner thighs, specific markings in a light gray tone often take form over hours to convey mood. This is comparable to a cuttle-fish or octopus, though Rebeka is not consciously aware of the effect. To identify herself as unique from other races, Rebeka has chosen to point the edges of her ears unnaturally, almost elongating them.

Psychological Characteristics

  • Personality:
    Rebeka comes across as a rather quiet and well presented person, if not dominating and demanding, borrowing much of her psyche from her host, Sana Nakamura.

    Unlike Sana, however, Rebeka is prone to dramatic mood-swings. Rebeka believes her purpose is yet to be discovered and enjoys exploring the world presented to her until she satisfies her interest or grows bored of a given subject. Because of this, Rebeka can come across as extremely forward sexually or physically demanding at the best of times though her intentions are quite innocent since she has a poor grasp of many social concepts.

    This often manifests as a poor grasp of spoken language due to the nature of the half-psionic half-verbal communication method Sourcians make use of natively. Rebeka can often be observed changing context of conversation or even beginning a new conversation entirely without declaring it which often leads to aggression and mis-understanding.
    When uncomfortable, Rebeka often copies the mannerisms of those she is closest to in order to comfort herself or seeks physical comfort through the company others.

    Likes: Sensory stimulation mathematical elegance, interesting concepts, enigmatic people, spicy foods, alcohol
    Dislikes: Being constricted or limited, large crowds of people, vocal communication, being alone for more than 6 hours at a time
    Goals: To learn of the new world around her and to find her place and her purpose.

History

  • Offspring of an Aexalli commander of the battle of the great war and the Maestro of the house of Retena, 52:65:62:65:6b:61 was endowed with many talents and expectations yet lived up to neither, insisting on finding a higher state of being which she perused relentlessly for over 100 years. 52:65:62:65:6b:61 existed in the form of an "assist" construct (a psychological partner), a class of Sourcian life whereby extra mental resources are afforded by implanting a second consciousness to help guide the original whereby she followed a number of Aexalli through the 6th and 7th great conflict and the battle of salvation though between each body, her personality was reset and memories reduced to knowledge.
    Following the Battle of Salvation, it was decided that 52:65:62:65:6b:61 would return to take her place as Maestro though an unknown party disrupted the process and killed her physical body and laid her mind to rest with the Dark Sourcian, an enigmatic evolutionary off-shoot who are declared enemies of orthodox Sourcian.
    Recently, 52:65:62:65:6b:61's mental facsimiles were recovered from a second memory module on Lor from within Sana Nakamura.

    52:65:62:65:6b:61's emotional memory pathways were incompatible with the device, effectively resetting 52:65:62:65:6b:61's personal judgement, recognition of memories and emotional values to a state not indifferent from that of a new born and isolating memory linkages, making many of her facsimiles unavailable to her.
    52:65:62:65:6b:61 was then redesigned 'Rebeka', a translation of the memory address of her naming centers and implanted within a replicated Sourcian body which had been deliberately weakened where Rebeka chose to take the form of a child and begin learning and discovering skills and memories locked away within herself for safe-keeping.

Skills


  • Knowledge (Sourcian History, Sana's life & knowledge, memory):
    Rebeka has a loose knowledge of Sourcian history though a large amount of effort is required to retrieve more complex information though she is currently unaware of this capacity. Rebeka also has a complete knowledge of Sana Nakamura's life from the date the memory node was installed, down to specific thoughts running up until the date the memory node was removed. Unfortunately, this knowledge does not come naturally per situation and must be picked apart like reading a book as opposed to searching to a specific section, like a dictionary or thesaurus. Rebeka also has something of a talented short-term memory and by observing now another performs a task, she can quickly put the pieces together and learn how to use an object or perform a specific task very quickly (for example, learning how to pick a lock). Unfortunately, these short-term skills disappear when they are not used and must be re-learned.

    Fighting (Power Armor, hand to hand, weapons):
    Rebeka carries some of Sana's more prevalent skills, such as her hand-to-hand, weapon and power-armor experience and can apply it with great ease as Sana would normally. Combined with Rebeka's slight of hand, Rebeka's methods in close-quarters combat come across as unorthodox in form and style but surprisingly effective most of the time.

    Mathamatics (Sourcian Quantum Theories, applied estimation, statistics, standard mathematics):
    Rebeka has an immense knowledge of mathematical constructs, methods and practical usage and will whittle a situation down to the numbers to aid her decision making as Sana did before her though at an alarmingly faster rate. Rebeka also has a loose knowledge of the Sourcian comprehension of applied quantum theories though she lacks the know-how to use modern technology to apply her knowledge.

    Humanities (Philosophy, basic psychology):
    Also following Sana, Rebeka has learned a great deal of philosophy but also psychology based on her experiences with Sana and can understand what drives humanoid life-forms which helps with her decision making.

    Rogue (Slight of hand (pick-pocketing), stealth, interrogation, sweet talk, seduction):
    From Rebeka's original repertoire, Rebeka knows a number of methods to achieve what it is she wants in a given situation and is particularly well versed in interrogation and seduction, capable of combining the two to great effect.
OOC Notes

  • Okay, it's taken a long time for me to hammer Rebeka out of my head properly.

    I know her numbers are WAY WAY off (I used Bianca Beauchamps as a placeholder), as Doshii's reminded me, having actually realized the source of my placeholder. I don't know how to set female measurements, sadly so I need some help in this department.

    She probably seems over-done in the skills department yet in the same way quite under-done. I'm not entirely sure how it turned out this way but things will be interesting assuming she gets approved.

    I'm having a bit of trouble depicting her on paper for a portrait.
    Any idea who I can talk to over this?
 
Wes, I'd like to make a few subtle changes to bust and whatnot and get a picture up.

I'd also like to not lock this thread for those reasons.

Kotori, Sourcian communication takes place though a combination of verbal and psionics. Verbal communication establishes construct of language and context and psionics are used to convey concepts.

The number would be the memory address or "psionic speak" for her name, a hexidecimal value which translated back into english is "Rebeka" since no Sourcian has a vocal name. They have a unique identifier which links to the house they belong to.

Mathamatically, this system allows for up to 16^6 (16,777,216) possible unique Sourcian names per house without use for vocal names.

Concepts are translated on an oct model instead of a hex model and make use of letters to convey any value which can't be convayed with a single number (example: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F,X,Y). Z is reserved for null or empty values.
 
If you can't edit this one, don't worry about it. The "official" version will be the wiki one, anyway. This forum is largely obsolete.
 
Cool. Thanks for the answer.

*scowls at Wes* I don't like how you seem to insist making things obsolete with the wiki around. >_<
