Erda [NPC]

» Name: Erda » Age: Unknown » Gender: Female » Race: Modified Soul » Affiliations: Klein » Alignment: True Neutral » Marital Status: Motherly » Echo of Life: Motherhood » Height: 5'10” » Hair Color: Black » Eye Color: Purple

After modification from Klein, Erda's body is significantly more matured than her original sample material. She has very soft, feminine features. With flawless pale skin and dark silky hair. What distinguishes her most notably is the mature figure of a grown woman, what one might expect to see form a mother of at least four. Standing at a fairly considerable 5'10", she is tall for a normal woman in this setting.


» Personality:

Erda took especially well to the revitalization. Initially upon being processed, she was as dull and unnoteable as most others. However, she had a very intense ingrained sense of affection which resulted in her being much more responsive in general. going out of her way to look after the other subjects and seeming to instinctively look after Klein whenever he was around, often following him around and watching whatever he was doing.

In time, as a result of this proclivity towards stimuli, she began developing more defined vocal and motor skills our of an ingrained necessity to communicate, generally in the form of praise or support. Eventually, she became the picture of motherhood and spends much of her time looking after the others around her and looking to support Klein's endeavors.


» History:

Once the Wife to the Heir to the Kuchiki Family. However, while her soul passed on, the body was left with echoes of what it was never able to accomplish. The desire to have a family and become a mother ingrained such in this corpse that even upon being exhumed it quickly developed in it's natural behaviors.

This Corpse has lingering memories of it's past, but tends to fixate on the sentiments rather than the memories. Her past life deserved the end it received, and so rather she focuses on the sentiments associated with them. And even in the midst of her Modification process, she showed a considerable enthusiasm and encouraged Klein to make additional modifications as needed. She is much more mobile than a lot of other specimens and quite sturdy, often requesting specific adjustments from Klein in the interest of helping him with his work.

Her primary focus since then has been growing 'The Family' as she's come to refer to it. Not just helping Klein with is research, but recruiting people to help him and finding suitable materials for his experiments.


» Powers and Ablities:

Deceptively Sharp

Erda has all of the hallmarks of a gentle, simple woman even to the one who had raised her from the dead. However, beneath that warm, gentle smile is a surprisingly apt mind. While her mental faculties started out simple, she rapidly began developing a penchant for observation and picking up important information. While she's no scientist, she rarely misses something, and has even learned to read someone as guarded as Klein. This is especially keen when it comes to picking up on others emotions, especially a need for comfort or support. She affectionately refers to this as her Absolute Mothering Instinct.

Reinforced Physiology

While a number of the corpses taken from the soul society had previous capabilities ingrained within them, Erda had almost none, and as such the capabilities afforded by her reinforced and enhanced physiology are far above what she would have ever been capable of when she was alive, making her a bit of a surprise hazard for those who might have known her when she was alive. While her destructive potential is not very high, she is alarmingly potent at handling combatants one on one, and presents considerable challenge in taking out thanks to her considerable sturdiness and mobility.

Sample Extraction Rig

Built into her skeleton, a series of incredibly strong, hypodermic needles can be ejected from various sites on her body. These reinforced incredibly sharp extensions are devised to quickly penetrate flesh and forcefully extract tissue and fluid samples from a target, which are then housed along containment channels in her chest cavity and parallel to her spine. There are also specified metabolism centers which will acclimate to the optimum environment for storage of the samples, and as such certain areas of her body will have very different temperatures as her body redistributes heat in the interest of maintaining the integrity of the samples.

Hoho and Kido User

Learning from some of the other corpses, Hisana has garnered a basic understanding of shinigami skills. Sans an Asauchi, she is capable of using basic Shunpo as well as Kido spells. However, neither of these areas are exceptional.

[n]Hakuda Programming +[/b]
While she initially learned a few simple techniques from some of the more skilled corpses Klein had garnered, , she began to take to the practice and not only began to further her practice, but even assisted in helping teach principles to the other corpses. She has, on several occasions, also attempted to impart these onto Klein as she has taken to the art like a duck to water.

• Spring Guiding Palm
  A move developed instinctively when teaching others Hakuda, by applying a bit of force as she guides or redirects a strike, she utilizes not only the flow and ferocity of her own reiryoku but accepts the flow of reiryoku that naturally is expelled from a target and by reinforcing the flow, gains strength from it. Essentially sapping the strength from Hakuda-like abilities and using it to strengthen her own strikes. This is especially capable of exploiting techniques which try to force one's reiryoku onto her as it increases the efficiency of this co-opting.
  
  
• Spring Guiding Razor
  A variant of the style in which the circulated Reiryoku, whether just her own, or reinforced, is accellerated to dangerous speeds before being sent into a target through contact. Resulting in a saw-like circulation of reiryoku into the target's body, resulting in extensive perforation of the reiryoku system and resulting in damage that rather than an immediate shearing, causes rapid degradation of the flesh as the damaged spirit collapses. This is not as effective on individuals with Non-Spiritual Bodies.
  
  
• Spring Breeze
  A healing application similar to a massage than a combative move. By using her Reiryoku to influence another's through physical contact, she slows their flow of Reiryoku. While this isn't enough to actually sabotage one's combat abilities or execution of attacks, it does have a powerful sedative effect and this skill is often used to wear down targets for sample collection, though in subtler applications used therapeutically.
