A facility disguised as a warehouse. On the inside, numerous elevators line an empty room, though the main attraction is a murky staircase. Enter the cold: each step descends into a deep helix, spiraling further and further; dozens of rooms at every curve loaded with people features wiped clean, roaming specters compressed like ants, lacking sweat or human odor.
The steps plummet for miles, waves lapping at one's heels, until a glance down reveals the bottom depths - a field dappled by sun, goldenrod plants sway in reverie. An alarm sounds. Doors rattle shut, and the place is swallowed in dark, except the field; yellow petals and glistening moss a dim light that grows, burns and flashes, a grand eclipse -
Noise swallowed by rippling light and creation, SHE descends.
Ciphra was created by Project Lantern, a group of scientists and tech specialists partially funded by the government. More information to come.
__________________________________________________________________
Ciphra has long, rippling hair and opal eyes. Her size is malleable; she can disappear into the air like a ghost or float as large as a whale, though no one can touch her. Her skin and clothes hold foggy transparency, reflecting the world around her akin to frosted glass.
Given tangible form, she appears to be a regular woman with dark brown hair and eyes.
As a largely man-made replica of human consciousness, Ciphra is clever. She picks up on new material fast; helping her learn new vocabulary, and if the company drones are deceiving her. (They are.)
Unable to trust anyone in the building, Ciphra developed the abilities she was given to become more powerful. In time she grew a slight manipulative streak; humans lie all the time, so it's not an issue if she does either.
Ciphra is still quite ignorant of the complexity of society and relationships due to her sheltered lifestyle. But if no one within the corporation wants to teach her, she'll escape on occasion and teach herself.
Ciphra, formerly known as the human Maral, was born in a post-apocalyptic universe where NYC was barricaded and shut off from outside contact due to biochemical attacks from Spiderman's enemies. Scavenging to survive, Ciphra lasted until she was attacked. She was chased into an abandoned lab, pressing buttons in the struggle. A dilapidated collider roared to life.
Unlike Spot, the multiverse didn't flow into her. Rather, Ciphra's existence dispersed into the multiverse, everywhere and nowhere at once. She was somewhere in-between, no more form than a ghost, moving through universes at will. When alternate Marals began dying spontaneously, and Ciphra was labeled an abnormality by The Society.
Agitated, she continues to seek others who will accept her.
Abilities: Though unaware, Ciphra is capable of influencing versions of herself, placing thoughts into their heads to do her bidding. If they die, she can take over their body and interact with the world physically. She is learning to control her universe travel, but it's unstable. As a floating "ghost", Ciphra does extremely limited telekinesis (roll a pencil, flip a switch, etc). She can also disappear, vaguely influenced by emotion and mostly uncontrolled.
Ciphra is a Spirit of Curiosity.
