The Hive Mind
Name: entitas tenebrarias inter animos
Nickname: ETIA, for short
Age: UNKNOWN
Birthday: UNKNOWN
Gender: UNKNOWN
Category: Miscellaneous / Transcendent
Appearance Description: The ETIA itself has no appearance since it is an insubstantial entity. People who are able to perceive it in some way due to high level mental powers might feel it has a dense ball of dark matter with a constant heartbeat like pulsation.
Personality Description: The ETIA itself has a quite curious personality that takes a methodical approach to most things. It has not yet experienced things like happiness, love, anger, or hate and might very well never. It only wants to observe. And therefore is not bound by morality either. Due to the nature of the very first person to be caught in the network, the ETIA is very interested in creativity and can be quite easily charmed by innovation.
Power: Arcana Imperii - The ETIA has the ability to mind control up to five normal humans with no powers of their own. By doing this, the people caught in the network can automatically transfer ideas and thoughts to each other telepathically. The people are also given access to the ETIA's own abilities, which consists of high speed calculations and high level mental protections. People under the ETIA's control do have a certain level of self awareness. However, this tends to fade with time until the person's mind is eventually absorbed into the collective consciousness.
The ETIA also has the ability to scan other people's thoughts but it becomes more and more weakened in this power as it takes on more people into its mental network. While controlling five people, the ETIA can only read surface thoughts and emotions on a basic level but nothing more past that. The ETIA is able to act without working through the people caught in its network. However this is largely limited to mental self defense and observation. The ETIA also can put mental marks on humans without powers, in order to claim them later when another spot in the network opens up. These people who are marked are not affected by the ETIA in any way. There is simply a signature placed onto them.
Biography: Nobody knows how the ETIA came into being. It was certainly created by somebody else but that person is just as much of a mystery as the ETIA itself. It did not, however, begin as a hive mind. In its initial stages of existence, the ETIA was very much a singular entity with barely any conscious awareness at all. It was, however, infused with a very powerful need to survive.
Some time after the ETIA came into being, it invaded and took over the mind of an overly curious human girl. Supposedly. The truth was, as the ETIA discovered after having overtaken her mind, that the girl actually welcomed such an intrusion due to her desire to understand the mysterious powers which some people in the world held. Because she was the first consciousness that the ETIA absorbed, it gained her natural inquisitiveness.
Though the ETIA later came to absorb many other minds, this girl remained its general personality template. It is for this reason that the ETIA came to Manta Carlos. It is also the explanation for some of the hive mind's unusual hobbies.
Additional Information: The ETIA currently owns a small chain of clothing stores called Acus ex Machina. Using its mental network, it is able to speed through brainstorming processes and has managed to come up with a way to create clothes that always stay clean and pretty, even ones that will accommodate shapeshifters. All of the people in the ETIA's network wear fashionable dark navy colored suits.
