APPEARANCE:

Height: 5'2"

BACKGROUND:
Professor Digit, as she was known, was once one of the Fennox's brightest. A mammalian species that live on their system's only habitable moon. For the most part, these people were unremarkable and kept to themselves on the grand scale of things. The biggest thing of note is the surprisingly effective old tech they still tote around planet-side. But this is hardly about what Digit used to be. This is about what she grew into.
The mostly docile Fennox have among them proficiently educated individuals that would go on relief trips across the galaxy to aid those in need. One of these included the turmoil over Plant. They were skittish about any direct involvement at all but gladly helped in the research and development of medicines and treatment for after-battle care. That's about where everyone but Digit stopped. Digit was a curious one, and wanted to get their hands into the nitty gritty of Tuffle tech. Improve upon it in desperate times.
Against her peers' own warnings she began experiments with the more dubious scientists the tuffles had. Small at first, but all the same more questionable as to their involvement with the war. Some of these included weapons. Others included possibly morally dead solutions to the Saiyan problem like the work on Tuffle Parasites. Something she had to dig deep to uncover from some older vets. The E.S.M. series had been discontinued for a while, you see. Something most was no longer touching, not even with tensions rising again at her time. The strain she worked with initially was already potent and the likes of which had spread to some unlikely hosts through accident mostly.
Rather than just forcing organisms to restructure their genes to fit that of a tuffle and pursue control over the mind, she was compelled to add her own touches of improved mental capabilities. At this point, in secret. It would start with simple improved functions, and extend into learning that was nearly machine-like. Without proper specimens to test this strain on though, she had but one choice. One chance to test her evolution. A proper E.S.M. 3.0
Using her own body as a lab rat, Digit directly injected her own creation. She knew the repercussions, but she had to know. With no supervision, the usual maddening experience of a presence overwhelming her neurologically was left unchecked. And unlike the previous incarnation, this one was overwriting her mind with more than just another personality. She could think clearer, faster, and better. Answers and possibilities flooded her mind at a rate that overwhelmed her.
It was a nice way to say this new being went insane.
They quickly left the planet for somewhere quieter. Picking up the name Acerola as the parasite takes its absolute final stage. Everywhere she looked, she only saw the pixels of the cosmos. Equations of phenomena not yet discovered crowded every thought in her mind. it took some years to consolidate anything coherent. The beauty of singularity. The beginning and end. She became obsessed with this cycle But alone, she could never fit the pieces together coherently. She would have to find like-minded souls to join her in equalization.
To attend to the destroyer of the universe as she knew it.
COMBAT INFORMATION
TECHNIQUES 6/6 + 3: You start withThree Six Standard Technique Slots and One Sparking Slot that you can use any way you like. Some species start out with additional slots, or access to certain slot-based abilities for free. You also start with two additional Utility Technique Slots.
Light Offensive || Fennox Driver
Armed with a Fennox Hand Blaster, Ace can fire a condescending shell of plasma at range. Its unorthodox engineering makes it unique among galactic weaponry.
Power: 30%
KP Cost: 2 KP
Variants: Piercing, +10% Power x 2
Light Defensive|| Instantaneous Displacement
Not so much movement tech as a displacement of Ace in space-time. Timed correctly, a certain range of energy from their host body can cause them to spontaneously appear elsewhere, avoiding some low-powered blows.
Power: 50%
KP Cost: 1 KP
Variants: Evasive, Ki Cost Reduction
Light Defensive || Concussive Barrier
Without so much as a thought, Ace can conjure a blue barrier around themself. Coated in their volatile energy, it sends a rush of energy back at anything that disturbs it.
Power: 30%
KP Cost: 2 KP
Variants: Reflective, +10% Power x 2
Light Defensive || Advent Ouroboros
With a palm extended out at a source of energy, Ace can project a small false black hole. Aiming to absorb much of the direct impact of blows with minimal effort.
Power: 10%
KP Cost: 1 KP
Variants: Shield, Ki Cost Reduction
Medium Offensive || Power Spike
Holding both hands outwards, the attendant can expend energy in a force built up around them. Rather than forming a protective barrier, this energy is sent as a wave of several huge geometrically perfect triangles. Aiming to crush a target with brute propulsive force.
Power: 70%
KP Cost: 4 KP
Variants: +10% Power x 4
Light Defensive Sparking || Final Ouroboros
With both palms extended out at a source of energy, large false black holes cover her hands. Their gravitational force is great enough to heavily distort light and the images of items around them, Ace included. They can absorb a great deal of energy at a rate that feeds into the parasite's own power temporarily.
Power: 10%
KP Cost: 2 KP
MP Cost: 3 MP
Variants: Splitting, Shield+, Heavy Metal
Support || Instantaneous Ejection (Solar Flare)
Not so much movement tech as a displacement of Ace in space-time. Instantaneous Ejection, in this way, can be pushed to shove her very far away if given the time to approximate distance.
Power: 60%
KP Cost: 2 KP
Variants: N/A
Utility || Power Suppressors
Hardy torso implants allow Ace to completely control the output of energy from their host's body.
Utility || Power Sensors
Sensitive eye implants provide a constant heads-up display feed of mundane information about Ace's surroundings. Most importantly, the power of living creatures around them.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: First Transformation should be "Untapped Presence"
STARTING LOADOUT: 30,000 PL, 8718 Zeni.
