Prism Argentum

Name: Prism Argentum
Age: 53
Gender: Undecided
Species: Alchemical Construct
Occupation: Sculptor



Prism's true appearance is that of a shining silver humanoid, that lacks features such as a mouth, nose or ears. Even Prism's eyes are little more then holes in the seamless metal body. Standing around 6 foot in height and a having a slim and lithe body frame, Prism is a lot heavier then size would suggest due to the much denser material that makes up their body. However while Prism true appearance is clearly non-human, it extremely unlikely that anyone would see it. This is due to the shape shifting abilities that Prism has. (See Species Abilities and Limitations)
Prism is for the most part an reclusive character, who doesn't understand other kinds of sentient life due to having so little experience with them. Using their power to get pass by unnoticed, a luxury their sibling does not have. Most often Prism will be found hard at work, creating and sculpting new pieces of art almost obsessively. Feeling incredible guilty that they have to really on their siblings to earn a living for them.

Prism is also very confused about certain things about most other organic creatures. Such as pleasure from eating, seeing it as a necessity alone. Also unlike their siblings who have since entering the world, have found themselves identifying as genders, Prism find the concept completely foreign. Prism never uses gendered pronouns for themselves or others, always using neutral terms like they or their, in order to avoid making mistakes.

Prism is also scared by those who use magic and alchemy even though they are what made them, and are required to make what they must drink to continue living. This is because since their freedom, their original creators intentions for them to effectively be an infinite silver-glass mine, has left Prism un-trusting of those who use them expecting them all to be open to such exploitation and seeing them as nonliving without a mind of their own.



Silver-Glass Shapeshifting (Ability) - Prism is capable of altering their shape at will by physically sculpting their own body. Prism also can then, using the silicon crystals in the Silver-Glass alloy that make up their body, reflect certain wavelengths of light only by using refraction. This allows Prism to selective choose what colouration part of their body has, in order to pass for a human in most cases. However this part of the ability does not allow Prism to effect infer-red and ultraviolet light, meaning those that rely on those wavelength of light to see would see the same thing regardless of this power. Also their is a finite limit on how much light Prism can reflect or choose not to reflex. This means Prism cannot reflect all light or reflect none, in order to blind others or blend into shadowed area completely but could be used as an imperfect sort of camouflage.

Silver-Glass Creation and Manipulation (Ability) - Each day Prism is capable of creating a finite additional mass of Silver-Glass and can control it during it creation. This extra mass could be added to their own in order to increase their body size while using their shape shifting abilities, or be used to make tool or additional appendages. Tool made of silver-glass are not the most perfect in the world, due to the properties of the magical alloy and certain types of extra limbs that Prism could make this way would be useless. An extra arm or tail could function almost as well as a normal one, but wings would not as they could not overcome Prism weight.

Silver-Glass Physiology (Ability and Limitation) - Being made of the magical alloy silver-glass, provides both benefits and weaknesses to Prism. Prism is tougher then the normal human being made of metal and not flesh (Though not that much more so due to the malleability of Silver-Glass.) Inversely the additional weight means that Prism is slower having to overcome it. Prism also does not need to Sleep or Breath, but is required to 'Eat' (By drinking a certain alchemical concoction). Finally and strange to understand, while being made of an alloy that uses both Silver and Silicon, they are also harmful to Prism. Prolonged contact to Silver or Silicon based compounds that do not contain the other element drain Prism of energy, and mean they must 'Eat' to regain it. While bladed or piecing weapons or projectiles made of the same do excessive damage to Prism by breaking the bonds in the Silver-Glass alloy that only magic make possible.
