Talk:Neo-Space Princess

Ovsol.Nestmile.Nivium.Cibo.18.Avrora

18th awakening of the Cibo twig of the Nivium branch family of Nestmile.
Icy New Life of the Neosiran Taiga on her first solo mission shepherding a self-piloting ship to Krill carrying 23,000 tons of raw gene-silk and unwittingly accepted an offer to be an approximately local guide to none other than the newly installed Margrave.
Hilarity almost certainly ensues.

Sister Magnolia

Once a child of royal gardeners, now an electro-knight and cybernetic warrior-nun of Murus Incendiarius, she certainly kept the family enthusiasm for shearing and trimming as defender of MONAD. (she also picked up cooking pastries as a hobby)

Most of her body has been replaced by machinery; while her habit and synthetic flesh conceals most of it, her arms are visibly artificial. (the twin beam sabers built into them kept cooking the synthflesh covering, so eventually she just stripped it off) As of the Church’s electro-knights, she’s an expert combatant, but with very casual approach to social graces and not quite correctly calibrated enthusiasm for her work, she’s not terribly well-equipped to navigating traditional hierarchies of the Empire, with entirely predictable consequences.

Thus, now she is here, tasked with following the Duke Saddam’s condemned and exiled daughter after she escaped the originally-proposed fate of being sent off to a nunnery to quietly compute holy data in isolation, to serve as her spiritual aid and to make sure the already-strayed villainess does not stray from the righteous path even further. Officially.

Theme: “If the villainess won’t come to the nunnery, the nunnery will come to the villainess.”

• Virtue: Reaches Heaven through violence.
• Vice: The violence. (also pastries)
• Aspirations: To further hone herself as a weapon of God. Cultivate her own cyber-garden.
• Current Goals: Having a fun vacation! Which this is almost like, except maybe with assassins. Assassins!
• Rank: Electro-Knight of Murus Incendiarius
• Nature: Heavy combat cyborg
• Specialty: Sniper
• Etiquette Level: Overly Friendly
• Technology: (Tech-)Adept
• Sense of Direction: lmao

• Allies and Enemies: pending!

• Prized possessions: rosary made from melted-down hull of the battleship her militant order brought down, collection of dried flowers sent from parents on every birthday, Lohengramm-VII heavy sniper rifle

Notes from Past Incidents:

• Do NOT, under any circumstance, let her duel someone
• Managed to shoot down a dragoon with a borderline miraculous sniper shot. Just don’t ask what that dragoon crashed into on the way down.
• Veteran of Church’s wars to reclaim archeotech, never managed to actually capitalise on it.
• Once started a minor fire in the gardens when she tried to use her beam sabers as shears. The shame was unbearable.
• Seriously, no duels.
