Name: Eremita
Age: less than a year; Mental age: 13
Birthday: April 28
Gender: Female
Species: Demon Hermit Crab Cyborg
Category: Student
Class: Remedial
Grade: N/A

Appearance Description: Eremita is a rather strange sight, possibly even grotesque to some. An amalgamation of twisted flesh and machinery, Eremita’s exterior is primarily inorganic, with small bits of flesh visible between some of the gaps. Alongside her robotic parts, she normally stands at around 5’7, with her boiler shell going up to 7 feet, and weighing 2452 lb. On average, she is around 6-7 feet across from leg to leg.

Her machinery is primarily steampunk in style, with a large vertical cross tube boiler replacing her shell.

Personality Description: Eremita is an intelligent individual with a penchant for tinkering, even replacing large portions of her body after it began deteriorating. Her vast intellect, mechanized body, fast body development, and mothers infamy have generally lead to a disconnect from those around her, making her socially awkward, even defensive when interacted with, often becoming suspicious of others motives when they interact with her. This rather paranoid behavior is extremely noticeable with her siblings, frequently exhibiting defensive behaviors, such as raising her large claws to a ready position in case of an attack, as well as internal pressure generally increasing in her boiler, occasionally resulting in a high pitched whistle that occurs in situations where ones blood pressure would increase, such as anger, panic, and fear. Despite this, she is not aggressive towards her siblings, and wouldn’t attack unless provoked. Her powerful survival instinct, powerful enough to choose a painful existence of twisted metal and flesh over perishing, drives her to seek out a way to prolong her life however, and while determined to search for another way to do so, may resort to finishing her brothers and sisters if time begins to run short.

Active Abilities:

Flamethrower: A flamethrower grafted onto Eremita’s right large claw, capable of shooting flames up to 15 meters. Alternatively, Eremita can lob portions burning fuel in an arc to reach farther.

Cryo-spewer: A cryogenic blaster attached to Eremita’s cybernetic left claw, capable of firing liquid nitrogen in 2 modes, a large cone with a range of 10 meters, or a pressurized stream reaching up to 20 meters.

Steam Cannon: A pressurized cannon utilizing steam from her boiler. Capable of both temperature and pressure adjustment, Eremita is capable of releasing various types of attacks, from short ranged low temperature blasts to obscure the area, to scalding hot high pressured shots capable of reaching up to 25 meters, and even cutting through things at close range.

Passive Abilities:

Armored Arthropod: Possessing both a exoskeleton and metal plating, Eremita is by far one of the best armored of her siblings. Plating on her legs is approximately 3 inches thick. Plating on her upper body and head ranges from 2 inches to 1 cm. Plating on her shell, as well as the plates metal plates on her claws, reach up to 5, even 6 inches at times, rivaling some tank armor.

Steam Engine: Completely analog, Eremita’s cybernetics are incapable of being hacked. In addition, Eremita must consume fuel, whether that be organic food, or other organic fuel sources, like diesel, natural gas, and coal.

Excess Appendages: Due to her unique body structure, Eremita possesses 10 major limbs in total. 6 legs, 2 human arms, and 2 large claws. In addition to these, she has 4 small feelers on the front of her lower body. These are all at least partially mechanical, with several of them being entirely robotic, with the exception of her left human arm. Her two large claws are exceptionally powerful, with a grip up to 4 tons of crushing force.


Weaknesses:

Mechanical Aberrant: While functional, Eremita’s body is in no way perfect. Simply existing is a painful trial that requires painkillers to get through. This numbing as well as the lack of sensors and general primitive nature of her robotic parts of her body leads to overall jerky and unsteady movements.

Junk Trunk: Weighing as much as a small vehicle, Eremita’s mobility is rather limited despite her large number of legs, incapable of swimming, jumping, and limiting her overall speed.

Pressurized: Eremita runs on steam power, generated in her boiler shell. If punctured, or otherwise opened somehow, Eremita becomes sluggish. The more the pressure decreases, the more drastic this becomes. The larger the opening, the faster pressure decreases.

Common Magical Items: If your character has any common magical items from this sticky, such as a nullification bracelet or language charm, they should be noted here. Other magical items should be included under the abilities sections.

Biography: Eremita started as one of the many eggs laid by Nasci. After the events that followed many of the children's hatching, and the separation from each other that followed, it was found that Eremita’s body was unstable, and unless something was done, would wither away and die within a month or two. The foster family that was given care of her decided that while sad that she wouldn’t get to live, may be for the best, as many thought the children would turn out like their mother. Deciding that dying wasn’t something on her agenda, the rapidly developing girl took matters into her own hands, using discarded parts of machinery to modify her deteriorating body, eventually hiring an underground surgeon to replace what she couldn’t do herself in exchange for the doctor getting to keep the parts being replaced.

Resources: Moderate; Low personal spending cash but has necessities provided for. Lives at school.

Additional Information: Is there anything else to take note of?
