Complex Student Sanae

Concept: Peppy Magitech scientist/past-life magitech supervillain

Humanity

• Age: 20

Appearance: A tall girl with a thin, slender build, green, inquisitive eyes and short, red hair. She wears spectacles, and a many-pocketed research tunic with a shoulder-shawl and a satchel containing tools, as well as a small, round scholarly hat.

Concept: The daughter of a Dragonblooded house, Sanae was sent off to school to study, in the hope she would exalt as a Dragonblood. She took to her studies well, reading books and learning, but her birthright didn't come, and her family became disillusioned. She, of course, knew little of this, as she was engrossed in the great lore of the Blessed Isle.

Until, of course, she discovered a strange schematic in the college library – a blueprint for a complicated machine. Intrigued, she started looking into it – the best she could discover was that it was probably from the First Age. Frustrated at the lack of knowledge, she decided to build it and see what it did.

It was not easy – essence batteries and other materials were hard to come by – but she improvised the best she could, using materials she could scavenge and even managed to get her hands on some Jadeborn devices to fill them out. When it was time to come home, she took the device with her – her family ignored it, however, grown bitter over her mortality.

It was a few days later, while taking a break, that she overheard her brothers and sisters talking with her mother in garden. They had grown tired of her, blaming her for her inability to Exalt and the money put into her, and demanded the others kill her. There were no disagreements.

Sanae went into a frenzy of activity – not to flee, but rather to finish her machine, before she died. She broke apart a clock, and several old toys, to make the device, as her brothers broke in the door. She flipped the switch as they raised their weapons to strike.

And with that action, she erupted into a bright sunlight burst, that darkened into shadow, revealing the Twilight Caste mark on her forehead. Immediately filled with a touch of clarity. She pulled a tube from the machine she'd made even as it chugged, flipped two switches, and dove behind a couch as the device exploded.

She escaped in the confusion, leaving the Blessed Isle – driven by memories that suddenly filled her. Memories of great machines and devices and wondrous cities. She stopped onto to find the Jadeborn cavern she'd passed with the expedition, and emerged with a new device – an orichcalcum crossbow. So armed, she set out to look for old technology to restore.
