Maevia Inclemens; Bionic Cyborg

Maevia Inclemens

You fumble in the dark, and i control the light

Maevia is focused, intelligent, and dedicated to her work beyond “obsession.” When dealing with people, she knows how to talk, but her personality is as fake as her identity. If she talks to you regularly, it's because you have something she wants or you know something she needs to find out. If there's no gain, she won't give you the time of day. If there is, she will analyze you in a moment and tell you what you want to hear, treating your personality like it was scripted in a video game. She sometimes struggles with fleeting feelings of loneliness due to her social disconnect; it's difficult to treat people like people, and not objects or sources.

Her work is her hobby; putting all the pieces together, crafting tidbits of “useless” information into something earth-breaking, managing her agents; it's like a puzzle that never stops growing. Her love for technology falls along the same lines; every piece has a place in something bigger. She finds solace in getting lost in these types of puzzles.

While working, she speaks with absolute authority; being in control is her element. Everything is a statement of fact. She is concise and direct, and behind her words are a subtle voice, whispering “do not cross me.” Her paranoia is in full swing while working; everything is checked and double-checked, logged, and cross-referenced. She does not meet face-to-face and changes mannerisms and voice-maskers constantly. She is careful, precise, and absolutely thorough.

Maevia is ghost-pale and average height. Her right eye and left arm are cybernetic, and left uncovered by synthetic skin. She is thin to the point of appearing sickly, and the permanent heavy bags under her eyes only contribute to that illusion. Her posture is a permanent slump forward, and she shuffles wherever she walks. Her eyes appear dead, focused on some imaginary point far away, and look as though they are in a constant struggle to stay open. When out in public, she constantly has her hood up around her head and over her mouth, with her long, pale green hair draped over her eyes and flowing down to her chest. She puts only the most basic care into her appearance when going out; a quick brush, a short wash of her face, and a minimal scrub of her teeth.

Her cybernetic arm appears to be an old, but modified model. The alloy is current, but most would recognize the design from many years back. Some shielded wires are exposed down the entire length, and some moving parts can be seen. Her eye is a unique model of custom design; It is a metal orb hosting a dull red iris, with several thin wires that crawl forward from the back of the socket and bury themselves into the skin just outside it.




Typically she wears casual clothes. Her hooded sweater is her most treasured clothing; the hood and the half-face cover help her feel secure and hidden. She will wear simple jeans and boots to accompany it when out. When working inside, often she does not wear more than the hoodie and a pair of comfortable shorts. She has a small collection of clothes that could be considered business-casual, for times when the situation calls for a more professional presentation.

    Maevia was the sole child of an unhappy couple who lived in Dagos. Her mother left before her first birthday, leaving her father, Terry, to raise her. He worked a busy job as a private investigator, but tried to give her what attention he could. Fortunately for him, Maevia was a quiet girl, who obsessed over things from a young age, dedicating whatever time she could to her hobbies. She conquered the piano, computers, programming, and puzzle after puzzle after puzzle.

    Her father's work piqued her interest. He would be gone long days and stay up for long nights. Late one evening, she went into his office and asked him what it was like.

    “It's like... a puzzle. One that constantly changes, and never ends. Every piece, no matter how insignificant it seems, has a part to play, so you have to be careful not to miss anything.”

    A puzzle. Her curiosity burned within her. The next day, when he was gone, she went through his files; notes, photographs, documents.... She didn't stop reading until she heard his car pulling in the driveway. This was her new hobby.

    The amount of information he kept astounded her, and gave plenty of food for her obsession to grow. Soon, she was no longer content with reading. She wanted to play. She chose a case fresh in her mind- her father was investigating an affair, hired by the wife of a teacher that Maevia liked. She created a fake e-mail, hid behind proxies, and sent him a vague message informing him that she was an anonymous source who knew he was being watched, and to be careful. In the following weeks, she noticed that there was very little new information on the case being documented by her father. Her teacher must have listened! From that moment, she was completely hooked on this “puzzle.”

    Going into highschool and college, she discovered that people were willing to pay for information, or trade favors. She sold and traded behind a multitude of fake identities, earning extra money, or getting extra information to help her father's cases (without him knowing). She put on fake smiles and saw what information people would give out to a “friend.” She loved to feel so in control.

    Her father was, however, growing concerned with her lack of a social circle. She assured him she was happy, and that was good enough for him. The older he got, the more he tried to be at home with her. Sometimes it would interrupt her work and irritate her, but overall, she was happy to have him around; they got along well and he was the only person she genuinely cared about. Bonding with him was a time to be herself.

    That ended one day, when she received a call from the police. Her father had been killed by a man he was investigating. Life gave her little time to recover from her heartbreak. There was too much popping up: Funerals (a small ceremony; no family left), legal papers, insurance struggles, fees, rent, court; all of it crashed down on her at once. It was a dark time for her for several months. She could barely get out of bed long enough to deal with whatever had a deadline or appointment that day. She was helpless to stop it, no longer in control. The only saving grace was her father's foresight to save a large sum of money and take out a life insurance policy “just in case.”

    When it seemed like to maelstrom was calming down, her landlord threatened to sue her for all the money her father left behind, citing violations, debt, interest, and a number of things. His case appeared air-tight, and told her he was willing to settle and avoid court for a tremendous sum of money. While reading his case, something sparked in her mind. She tore through her father's files for days. She found enough dirt on him to bury him, and the old fire in her said she was going to. It didn't take long to find a rival landowner who had been eying the properties. In exchange for a year's rent, she gave this rival all of his secrets, which led to a quick change of ownership (alongside a complex and lengthy series of lawsuits, which kept him too busy to pursue his case against Maevia).

    From there, she redoubled her efforts back into information dealing. She gathered and expanded, made acquaintances and earned favors. She started earning a reputation, one that a very powerful figure took note of. His name was Anansi, and he was the most powerful information broker in the country. He extended an offer to her: work under him, as the eyes and ears of Dagos. His resources will be made available to her, and in return, she would supply information, and manage a network of agents; she would be given freedom in this. It didn't take her long to accept this offer.

    Her main base of operations was located in an old pedway underground, of which no records or maps existed (thanks to her diligence). Through many months spent setting up gear, wires, and rerouting power outputs, she had built a nigh-undetectable and impenetrable place to base her ambitions.

    To gain an even larger advantage, Maevia struck a deal with Kupiec, though revealing herself to him almost cost her everything, including her life, as several of her enemies had contacted him beforehand. They settled on a deal; she gave up her arm and eye, and offered him the services of her network, and in exchange, he provided her with a government supercomputer, which secured her entire database from prying hackers and viruses, and gave her capabilities beyond everything she had hoped, as well as giving her an unexpected “business partner.”

    Her information empire boomed rapidly; she recruited agents, made contacts, and set up a remote location in the Dagos black market, where people can contact her. Some still suggest she doesn't exist, and others say she's simply a guise for government spying; whatever people say, Anansi has a reputation, and Maevia doesn't plan to slow down anytime soon.
