Name: Tiny Hacker
Age: 19
Birthday: unknown. Uses October 6th on official documents.
Gender: secretly gender fluid, publicly identifies as female.
Species: unknown. Possible Oneiros?
Category: Citizen
Career: hacker, waitress
Appearance Description:
Tiny is a skinny little thing, barely more than skin and bones. Her actual height is five feet three inches, but she never stands at full height and appears much shorter. Tiny is always wearing loose, baggy clothing, usually worse for wear and awkwardly stitched up in places. The only exception to this is a black hoody, two sizes too big, and kept as clean as Tiny can manage.
Tiny is very skinny, an average person able to completely wrap their hand around her arm with a little overlap depending on hand size. The size difference doesn’t bother her, but she gets cold rather easily without the levels of brown fat to burn energy for heat. Her hair is a short-cropped mess in raven black with what look like blue-indigo streaks when the light hits it right.
It is rare to see her without some kind of electronic device out, whether it be a phone, a laptop, a tablet or some sort of handheld gaming device.
Personality Description: INFP
On a first encounter, Tiny is more likely to flee the area than to stay to have a conversation. She’s reluctant to initiate conversation, and has trouble forcing herself to answer in more than two-word answers. Tiny does a lot of listening, mostly because she doesn't know what to do when people start ranting at her about their problems. She notices when people close to her are bothered, but she doesn’t pay as much attention to complete strangers unless they’re making a scene or very clearly upset.
Tiny is very trusting of everyone except herself. She's easily influenced by charismatic people, but she’s constantly second guessing why they might show an interest in her instead of others. Even when faced with obvious evidence that someone might not be who she thinks they are, from her own experience and intuition or from someone else, she’ll make excuses to herself to keep her image of them intact. She’s a people pleaser, eagerly jumping to the aid of anyone who’s shown a friendly interest in her, even more so if it's a romantic interest. In the same way that she refuses to see the bad in people, Tiny will also often idolize them over actions or things they’ve said when nothing was meant by it originally. She likes to twist her view of the world to something prettier than what it is, glamorizing darker parts with made up reasoning. Confronting her about it leads to her only denying reality even more than she already does.
Tiny does horribly when put under pressure or presented with conflict, reacting with seemingly over-the-top outbursts. She doesn’t care who's right or who’s wrong in an argument, focussing only on making it stop with a favourable outcome for her and the person she likes most. When being put on the spot, Tiny’s first instinct is to drop everything and flee. The only way to get her to have a solid, one on one conversation, is to trap her and refuse to let go until the conversation is finished.
It’s hard to keep a stable relationship with Tiny because she’s never willing to admit her true feelings about anything, and has never once in her life said ‘I love you’. The idea of marriage terrifies her, having no experience with it aside from media portrayals, but she loves the idea of true love and soul mates. Because she tends to place people on pedestals, Tiny often gets into bad or abusive relationships with no desire to leave them simply because she was led to believe that the other party loved her, either by the significant other or by her foolish daydreams.
Powers: N/A
Species Abilities: Dream Altering: Tiny can enter people’s dreams and change what is seen, particularly if the person is having a nightmare. She has to be right next to and touching whoever’s dream it is she’s entering, and keep contact or she will not be able to return to her own body. Usually, she accomplishes this by curling up on their chest.
Within the dream, Tiny appears as a smaller than average sinaloa crow. She can’t speak, but she can interact with dream-world things and a mental map of that particular dream, so she can guide whoever it is away from the nightmares and fight off monsters.
If the person has charms for good dreams or dreams catchers near their bed, Tiny is unable to go near them, as if there were a force field around the room.
Shapeshifting: Latent Power. Tiny has not yet learned how to transform into a sinaloa crow in the real world.
Shadow Travelling: Sometimes done by accident when she trips in dark alleys. Can’t control it, and can’t travel more than 3 meters.
Walking through glass: Tiny is only capable of travelling through solid panes of glass, as long as there is no cracks, and the pane is big enough for her to wiggle through as if it was empty space. This doesn’t apply to mirrors or glass objects, only window panes and sliding glass doors. This power only works at night, and when noone is watching her. It won’t work in front of security cameras or when the lights are on, nor will it work if there is anyone awake on the inside to see her.
Immortality: Tiny is not a fully corporeal being, and cannot be murdered unless the entirety of her body and spirit are destroyed, but she can be physically wounded. It isn’t confirmed if she has an infinite life span, but she will always heal from what would normally be fatal wounds and can regenerate lost limbs over the course of eight months or more. Tiny heals at the same rate as a human being normally, however the progress speeds up to twice as fast as normal when she’s inside someone’s dream.
Biography: It is unknown when and how Tiny was created. There is no sign of her ever having parents, nor did anyone summon her. For all intents and purposes, Tiny started existing at the age of six in the middle of new york. She was found there and taken to an orphanage, where she became attached to a teenage boy. Matthew wasn’t fond of her, barely tolerated her, but she would always watch him work on his battered old computer.
From watching her ‘friend’ writing code, Tiny started to learn herself, slowly. She got a job as soon as she could, working in a shitty cafe in an unsafe part of town in order to get a laptop, and continued working multiple jobs after that both offline and online to keep up with major technology advances.
Tiny kept talking to Matthew through email even after he left the orphanage, running away to live with him when she was 15. They shared an awful apartment with a tiny water boiler and a leaky sink drain, but they made the most of it. It was a tiny one bedroom, shared between her, Matthew, and his girlfriend, but Tiny didn’t like big spaces. When they presented her with the option of moving to a new, bigger apartment, Tiny protested by bringing a box into the house and tucking it into the corner. From then on she slept in the box, and only the box, except for the really cold nights where she snuggled up in the bed with her 'parents’. It was on these nights, curled up between them, that she discovered her ability to enter dreams and change them.
Matthew and Tiny joined a hacking group, never going too far over the law. With the group, they would take jobs hacking into systems to help companies improve their digital security. On their own, they would usually hack display screens to give anti-government, anti-sexism, or pro-lgbtq messages. They typically got away with it, although there were many close calls which Matthew’s girlfriend would have to save them from.
As time went on, Tiny and Matthew’s hacking group became more and more criminally involved. The trouble the two got into became worse and worse, to the point where if they were caught, neither would escape without heavy sentences. They started crossing lines, and making enemies. It got to the point where Tiny started getting shot at on her way home, usually missing her, but one day someone landed a fatal hit. A miracle she’s alive, they said. By all accounts, she should be dead.
She recovered, and Matthew brought her home to find that everything in their tiny house had been packed up. It was time to leave, to an island they said. Someone had come in to talk to her ‘parents’ while she was in the hospital to discuss sending her to a special school on an island they had never heard of, and they readily agreed to go when Tiny recovered.
Off they went, barely out the door before guns fired. Tiny was riddled with holes again, Matthew was dead and his girlfriend was dying slowly. By the time help arrived, it was too late for her family. Tiny was patched up again and shipped off to Manta Carlos after yet another impossible recovery.
Additional Information: Tiny lives in a very small, haunted apartment full of poltergeists. The utilities barely work and she typically stays in the center of the front room within a large box fort.
Tiny is closet gay. Extremely in the closet, figuratively and literally. She’s only okay being gay behind closed and locked doors in rooms with no windows.
Tiny is fascinated by string. Even the smallest bit of yarn is completely enthralling for hours.
Tiny has an intense, completely illogical hatred for white flowers. Only white flowers.
Diagnosed with Megalophobia
Has been arrested 18 times for ‘breaking and entry’ in her life, once on Manta Carlos. About a third were waived, a quarter found innocent, and the rest she was found guilty.
Has completely removed her legal name from existence. She hated it, it was awful, it is now permanently gone.
