NPC Profiles (In Progress)

[afterlifer]

NOTE: IF YOU CLICK THE IMAGE NEXT TO THE PROFILE IT WILL BRING YOU TO A LARGER VERSION.

NPC NAME: AI (False name: Ai Shinoda) CREATION: Mid-October, Appeared January 1st. PHONE COLOR: White PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: Long brown hair, brown eyes, with a slim build though she is of average height (around 5'4"). She always keeps her hair tied back and appears to be fast based on her musculature and build. Wears glasses, though she doesn't really need them. NOTES: Repairs glitches, access to Angel Player, imitates character speech styles to create her own, self-learning (artificial intelligence). She is very good with computers, including having created the cell phones and applications. She is capable of reworking computers, but will not do so unless it seems the correct action to do based on what she's learned. Essentially an Angel Player "anti-virus and repairs" program. Will alter decisions based on what she learns from characters, as she exists to maintain the world rather than the Programmer's intent. Ai was created before Fantoche (Mysterious Boy NPC) was reprogrammed with a security system that cannot be remotely reprogrammed. Ai can only be reprogrammed if she is next to the system source. She was released into the Afterlife world in October, making an appearance around Halloween when her campsite was found, but before that she spent a period of time with Fantoche while she was still being programmed. The creation of the cell phones was one of her programming capability tests. She appears rather fond of magazines, including swimsuit magazines, and sometimes will try to imitate their fashion styles or things she's seen/heard in it as they're "reference" for how a person might be.

AI'S GUARD SKILLS

Guard Skill: Hand Sonic
Version 1: Light-based long sword. Acts as a regular weapon, protrudes from the arm.
Version 2: Similar to version 1, but longer and thinner. Made for speed.
Other versions deleted to reserve AP memory.

Guard Skill: Distortion
A force field-like one-person shield. Deflects bullets and other projectiles. Cannot attack while shield is up.

Guard Skill: Delay
Visual delay. An after-image appears to hold opponent's vision while the user moves without being seen. Delay lasts only about a second, for high-speed combat.

Guard Skill: Harmonics
Clones the user. Clones have their own consciousness and can act on their own, based on the intent of the original's creation. Clones have a distinctively different eye color than the original user.
*Absorb/Time Wait Installed to combat the glitch in Harmonics that does not allow the clone to disappear. Absorb reintegrates the clone into the original body based on a Time Wait. Ai has recoded the Time Wait to last for 30 minute-- not long enough for the clone to develop its own intentions, but long enough to accomplish specific tasks.

Guard Skill: Howling
High-frequency, high-amplitude sound waves that can shatter eardrums if exposed long enough, but usually the enemy faints before then.

Guard Skill: Recode
Allows Ai to recode glitches. Visually, it appears as a series of glitch-like bars in front of her that she can move like panels with her fingers, similar to a vertical, portable version of a Holotables from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. (Reference.)

Guard Skill: Freeze Lattice
Small light points are dropped throughout a battle. If there are 4 points or more established, the area between the points will create a holographic freeze net. Any normally mobile creation would be frozen for a period of five minutes. This Skill was created based on the NPC glitches earlier in the year. After figuring out how to combat them, Ai used the glitch to create her own skill that imitated the glitch, but was able to affect more than just NPCs.
