Rowan Gormleigh

Full Name: Rowan Gormleigh
Race: Logian (Transhuman)
Age: 36
Birthplace: Keepersphere A26
'Status: Playtesting

Appearance

Rowan is the very model of a transhuman; her body is at the absolute peak of physical perfection, with precise proportions sculpted by eons of gene sculpting expertise. Her head is the only thing that belies natural organic mutation, and only to the point of lending character and uniqueness. From it flows long, shining, dark blue hair. Most of her body, up to her neckline, is covered by a skinsuit that is molecularly bonded to her skin and almost never comes off, including during sleep (her skin does not perspire, and her skinsuit is self-cleaning, so she does not need to bathe or shower). Attached to her body are various implements that aid her in her technomancy, which generally glow as her connection to the Techplane surges. Rowan also wears a self-styled cloak, which is made of the same material as her skinsuit but only bonded in a few places to establish a connection. Its purpose is mostly aesthetic. She wields an alloyed staff with a hooked blade at the end, which particularly symbolizes her profession as a Seeker.

Fighting Style

As a Seeker, Rowan is empowered by the Techplane, an entire dimension of infinitely entwined and entangled technology, and perpetual energy. Through extraordinarily advanced equipment and implants, she connects to this plane and draws from it both power and implementation, in a holy process she calls Requisitioning the Machine. Though entirely based in technology and speculative forms of energy and matter, it has ascended and obfuscated itself to the point that it has simply become a non-traditional form of magic. With a greater connection to the Techplane, the Seeker's power and versatility grows as well.

Techniques

Proboscis (Advanced, Persistent)

This spell both represents and (re)creates Rowan's Seeker staff, should it be destroyed. The staff is considered permanent in the sense that it continues to exist until it is destroyed, and mends itself between scenes. It can share Exofield, or can be excluded from it. If excluded, it can function as an independent object. That is, if it should come into contact with a harmful effect, it will take the full brunt of the effect, and not pass its effects on to Rowan. As mortal-grade items go, the staff is considerably sturdy; as long as it is not handled with powered force, it can be used to lift a fully grown person, or as a lever to move a large object, without breaking. This is created as a full tech because it may accept full tech upgrades in the future.

Exofield (Advanced)

Identical to Skintight Barrier.

C24 Arthroservos (Advanced)

This spell transphases the simple servo implants in Rowan's joints with high-performance, quick-response combat servos. Enables Rowan to move at 50% MagPL speed. Lasts the duration of the combat scene.

Valencometer (Basic)

Creates an optical implant inside Rowan's eye that allows her to analyze exact power ratings based on energy radiation -- works on ki, magic, psi, and robotics.

Specimen Consolidation (Basic)

Casting this spell creates a semi-transparent energy cube around Rowan, which moves as she does. When a foe physically touches the cube, it then instantly shifts position to be around them, only permitting minimal room inside for the subject. In this activated state, the cube is rooted in place (converting concussive force to damage on a 3:1 ratio) and works as an inside-out barrier. Objects and effects inside the cube cannot exit, but objects and effects from the outside can enter. The barrier has a 200% MagPL durability and lasts 5 posts.

Enervation Ray (Basic)

Creates a brief, laser-thin portal to a place in the Techplane where anti-energy is produced, sending a bolt of it lancing out toward an opponent at 100% MagPL speed. If it strikes a person, it will systematically drain 20% of Rowan's MagPL from the victim's stamina every post for 10 posts, or until stamina is exhausted. This spell can stack with itself.
