Vespia

   

'''"The imperfection is yours." -- Vespia'''

A subtly sadistic super-mechanical egotist. Delusional, powerful, terrifying, all disguised beneath an air of almost royal grace. Then she has breakfast.

=Physical Description=

This golden idol of a Mechari is lithe, slender to the point of being unbelievably thin in physique. With light, almost delicate looking arms and legs Vespia gives off the impression of some great insect only impounded by the sharp expressive mandibles lining her slender countenance. This svelt, perhaps even fragile look does however belie her immense physical prowess. Vespia is massively physically strong; with raw power befitting a savage warrior seems to sit at odds with her light frame.

Her gold-like outer skin is luminous just like the relatively rare transition metal, yet much tougher. The golden skin is perfectly flawless, or at least appears to be, matched by the yellow-fire of her Exanite crystal crown upon her head.

The Mechari's appearance is a lie. A wasp of a mechanical creature, with crowning crystals of a Queen and air of proud power to back it up. A sting of a pouting frown almost always passively expressed, as if the world around her were such a disappointment.

=Personality Profile=

Vespia is a controlled, outwardly calm calculating individual with a lot of skills and power at her disposal. She is more than capable of talking her opinions over others as well as using physical force to impose her will. Highly egotistical; she believes she is perfect, a construct of the Eldan and therefore beyond reproach to anything other than their direction.

Should the unthinkable happen and somehow she doesn't get her way-- Vespia is capable of quite intense rage. Easily scorned by a universe that chooses to over-look her obvious perfection, with quite drastic, often violent results she can lose her temper. This is, however, also curbed by her vicious intelligence. If scorned she will find a way to get even and satisfy her ego and her anger.

Outwardly she displays a dislike for violence and use of force however this is a mask; Vespia is something of a sadist and loves the thrill of violence and fighting, especially prevailing at such things. You are most likely to see her smiling when inflicting pain onto another poor soul, all be it a wickedly grinning smile.

Don't get mad. Get even.

=Aesthetics and Taste=

Vespia has throughout her life been meticulous. Everything is to be where it should be, when it should be and as she desires it. As such, she believes her own appearance to be perfect. She has a taste for golden things, items or trinkets yet she never wears anything frivalous.

She only ever wears clothes, which of course cover her majesty, when necessary. She wears them to prevent or limit the amount of wear and tear her chassis receives when undergoing an assignment for the ICI, which is generally most of the time. Her personal time, whatever time she gets to spend not dealing with the deficiencies of others, she spends clad only in her golden-metal chassis. When she does wear clothes, she tends towards darker shades if not simply black.

She takes regular acid baths to maintain and clean her body and the outer golden skin of her. This care extends to all aspects of her physical form, undertaking regular maintenance to keep her in peek form. This perhaps has contributed to her long healthy life.

In her private life she has an unusual hobby. At least, Entomology may be considered unusual for a mechanical being that seems to count herself above all others. It suits her meticulous nature and she seems to consider certain insect life to be captivating. Indeed, with their hard exoskeletons strong muscles and often colourful or luminous carapaces, Vespia considers insects to be beautiful. =History: The Golden Millennial =

Vespia has lived for a very long time; serving the Dominion and the ICI as was intended for her race by the Eldan, she believes in her purpose. She has served in varying ways over the years; from helping sack planets and civilisations to spying on enemies and allies alike, whatever role the ICI believed her capable of including front-line combat.

Created over a Millennium ago to an unusual technical specification; Vespia is unlike most other Mechari currently in existence, though not entirely unique. She uses these abilities to impress her prowess and her strength, which has afforded her some degree of renown within the Dominion and the ICI given her long and continuing career.

Her life has taken her across known space and beyond; into conflict against many unusual races and into the highborn halls of Cassus. Serving as soldier, spy and on occasion guard she has tasted victory many times but this is not to say she does not know defeat. Never ask her about 'The Chua Incident'.

She has served the ICI for many many cycles; proving herself time and again effective in the field and other areas she constantly claws towards her goals, towards proving her beleif. Gaining Millenial status when she turned one thoudand cycles, Vespia seems to continue on with a bright, flawed yet winning formula of strength and self belief.

Here on Nexus, home of her creators, she seeks to further the Dominion's greatness. Perhaps too, she may even learn more about her grand creators and the only beings she seems to consider worth of her admiration. =Strengths and Weaknesses=

Vespia enjoys unique motor animation systems that gift her strength beyond her slender shape, together with a superior outer coating she is much tougher than she appears.

The elaborate Exanite crystal structure, more attuned to fire, constitutes the back crown of her head and also has a unique purpose. Vespia, using innate build specifications and tried and tested methods, is able to ressonate the crystal structure to produce ultra-sonic vibrations. The high frequency sound she produces can vary in pitch, frequency and energy. She is quite capable of using it to cause pain to any Organic or Mechanical being; the former by knowing the unique limitations of their auditory organs and the latter by setting up a building resonance in the target Mechanical.

Possessing vast amounts of information gained in her long years of existence she is remarkably intelligent and intuitive, making her an effective agent.

This Millennial has served the ICI for many cycles and is regarded as an effective field agent. Often using whatever means she deems necessary to get the job done. She often relies on verbal or other forms of subtle persuasion before resorting, seemingly reluctantly, to physical force-- of which she has an abundance.

This though, eludes to her weaknesses. Despite all her gifts, she is a creature of pride and even habit, driven with more reckless abandon in both combat and personal life when her superiority is challenged or dismissed. Her superiority complex also often leads her to underestimate others when compared to herself, despite having otherwise good judgement of people, she can never admit she is lacking or less than another. =Motivations and Goals=

Her motivation is simple. To follow her purpose, the reason for her creation and aid the Dominion in gaining glory, to follow the instructions left by the Eldan and to prove herself the perfect mechanical being in the process. =Tropes in Popular Culture=

Narcissist-- Vespia is perfect, don't you think?

Pride-- The golden Mechari has it in abundance.

The Elite-- Vespia has reasons to be proud, reasons to be cold.

Glorious in Gold-- Conforming to a golden idol of a Mechari, she loves her colour. Shiny.

Metallic Power-- A metallic badass of epic proportions. Very shiny.

Svelt Strength-- Because slender doesn't meant weak.

Why be Bulky?-- Did I mention she was really strong?
