GENERAL INFORMATION
NAME: Taxon
ALIASES: Dr. Qywi
AGE: ~60s?
GENDER: Female Pronouns
SPECIES: BIODROID || Enhanced DNA (Regeneration) | Masterful Design (Quick Learner) | Absorption
GENERAL TRAITS: Trump Card | Vampiric
STARTING PLANET: Plant
HOME REGION: N/A
CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
APPEARANCE: A humanoid figure with odd proportions. Stands very tall for a tuffle, able to meet at eye-level with most humans. Her 'eye' is green, and her 'skin' bone white with blue 'chitin' inlaid. Gives off a smell like cut grass. The shoulder spikes are part of her.
COMBAT INFORMATION
TECHNIQUES:
Utility Technique || Long Jump
Taxon is too heavy to fly, instead she leaps over buildings in a single bound.
Utility Technique || Chirping
Most of those who try to peer into Taxon's mind will hear a cricket-like sound that becomes louder the more effort they put into reading her mind. Requires player consent.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Name the first transformation 'Hunger Pangs'! Dr. Tachi is a NPC by Pian, who created Tarine's parasite. More info on them will be released on an upcoming solo by him, so I didn't go super deep into it. Will be transferring from K500!
STARTING LOADOUT:
One Sage's Staff!
One Dyno Capsule!
One Blood Ruby!
24,000 XP into PL!

BACKGROUND: Professor wanted a legacy. It wasn't enough that he had found cures to the strange, alien diseases brought by the saiyans, saved billions of tuffle lives! His ambitions spanned nations, generations, and if the technology wasn't enough to ensure that he would live forever, then he would live through his offspring! Problem is, he had none, at his advanced age of 90... How could he? Not a single maiden was good enough, in genes, morals or intelligence! And they were tuffles, the best in the universe!
Nature itself had failed tufflekind, but Professor could fix it - through a tapestry-genome, weaved from cell to organism. The organism would follow the common stages of development: babble before it could talk, crawl before it could walk, mimic before it could create. Without disease, or handicap, or indulgence, or love, or the decadent education that had slowed tuffle development, reduced the species to the level of slight more articulated saiyans! No, Qywi would be better than everyone before her. An evolutionary revolution.
She was born, or rather, extracted from a vat of goop, and Professor immediately began to teach her - always at a distance, to avoid contamination, or worse, emotional attachment. Eighteen years in a cell/laboratory sufficed to make her a genius, Professor even considered renaming her Professor II. Unfortunately, the Raichi Academy of Sciences already had her recorded as Qywi, so Qywi she would stay, right up until she got her first doctorate, and legally changed her name to Professor Qywi. This was to honor the recently deceased Professor who, while deceased, had every part of him donated to science. Qywi's science.
The doctor shone particularly bright when the Tuffle-Saiyan war flared again. Interplanetary attention (among the relatively small and unappreciated scientific community of the Galaxy) came when she created a template for quickly-maturing, completely synthetized brains, based on the very one she was given. Yet, her ego ached... She loved the attention and praise given by the nearest (yet still so distant) people she had to equals, but the breakthrough was really Professor's, a primitive forefather! She took to drinking, not alcohol but mixtures that enhanced intelligence and brain growth in her species, such as liver oil. It helped a little.
Dr. Qywi later put forward the suggestion to implant her brains into saiyan bodies, use their brutal strength in full. She was rejected. Worse, shamed! Barely out of the Academy, and she was already requisitioning any portion of the saiyans captured? Preposterous. Her brains were better implanted on the recently dead or dying, there were thousands that could be brought back to war - tuffles, plantians, dercattans, but not saiyans. Their bodies were precious. And Qywi could not be trusted to fulfill her mad dream. Not enough seniority.
Qywi left in disgust. She quickly joined forces - and intellects - with Dr. Taichi, a pariah also, although the incident that had them pushed out from the Academy was largely forgotten. Forty years of intense collaboration followed and the duo, although lacking chemistry, produced many great works! Mind-controlling parasites, hyper-molucular life, limbs that would grow and live as full organisms if severed, and other nightmares that the Chancellorship made use of plenty! Galactic Code breaches were common, even tacitly encouraged... But it wasn't like they lacked morals! Although it would have been endlessly profitable, Taichi and Qywi never delved into cloning. Personally, she believed that each form of life ought to be better adapted that the ones it descended from, so even 'partial cloning' represented an evolutionary dead end. She was likewise into 'genetic memory', putting her at odds with practically every intelectual in a several parsecs radius.
Through tests, inventions and flights of whimsy, Qywi accumulated mutagens, radiation, diseases, emotions. All festered inside her just beyond notice, changing her mind and body subtly as the war and clients requested more wild, complex and cruel efforts. Only a day too late did Qywi realize that she was metamorphosing, literally, bound in a cocoon made of peeling skin. However, that thought wasn't conscious, her city (and lab!) was being poured with destron at the time, and the gas sunk her into a deep slumber...
Months later, Taxon emerged. The name, taken at random from a glossary on biology, was to be Qywi's identity while she struggled to understand her new condition.
