      « RECORD »

        Disposition:
        Re-L is a well-known iconoclast in the society she comes from. All fellow citizens of the Romdeau dome are meant to follow orders and to do as their leaders instruct them without any further thought. Re-L is a natural and indominable challenger to that. Social norms aren’t necessarily something that she strives to fulfill at any point in her life, and she finds the commonly accepted principle of adhering to every rule handed down to you exceptionally boring and foolish. Free thought is a virtue that she values, even if she regularly tells people that they are wrong or that their opinions are stupid – she will, in general, feel a small pride in that person for being brave enough to express that opinion anyway. In fact, she views most other people as foolish robots fueled by what society gives them to feed off of, and treats most with little respect to begin with. Instead, she likes to test the limits of what people deem to be correct and in control, fueled by the need to know why, exactly, the rules are the way that they are.

        Genetically engineered to have the maximum amount of curiosity allowed for a Romdeau ‘fellow citizen,’ Re-L feels an inherent need to push boundaries and stick her nose where it doesn’t belong. It doesn’t matter to her if digging deeper on a subject could possibly land her in thicker mud than she can handle – she simply needs to know. Even she finds her compulsions odd at times, and acknowledges the hot water they can land her in, but she does little to resist. This means that all of her travels and trials outside of Romdeau were simply an ends to a means, and if she got an adventure in between – all the better. However, she can be overbearing, cold, and nosey to most. In most ways, Re-L can seem sort of robotic and extremely scientific – and even more so can she seem like a conceited brat who knows she can get her way, she just needs to figure out how.

        Though she spurns the idea of being an ideal fellow citizen, her ingrained daily habits and personality traits betray the fact that she has absorbed more of Romdeau’s citizen ‘training’ than she would like to admit. Re-L is a perfectionist, quick-tempered, and seeks absolute control over all whatever she can. She also received para-military training in the Intelligence Bureau, and follows a rigid daily routine that, when interrupted, infuriates her. She is also routinely disturbed and annoyed by Vincent’s lax standards, and his lack of concern for detail baffles her utterly. Despite her frustrations, she regularly attempts to regain control of her surroundings, even if it means pulling out a long facial hair that Vincent repeatedly missed shaving with her bare hands. Eventually, though, her time with Vincent and Pino seems to make her realize that her self-imposed annoyances and tensions do not help her or the situation, and attempts to loosen up.

        Re-L's entitlement comes from the considerable political clout she carried while in Romdeau. Though she was aware she was different, it hardly mattered because she was the granddaughter of Romdeau’s Regent, Donov Mayer, and though she would get into trouble for digging too far, it never came to much in the way of consequences. Thus, Re-L simply assumes people will accept her rule-bending and utter disregard for the way things are meant to be done. In Romdeau, she was often referred to as “your Excellency” and her old entourage often teasingly called her “Princess.” She expects people to defer to her, even if she wants them, subconsciously, to be more interesting and stand their ground against her. By virtue of practice and repeated habit, she will expect it nonetheless.

        The aloof value of her character, though, is more of a mystery. Not much is known about her past – and she doesn’t readily give it. It can be assumed that since she was a clone, there might have been many Re-L Mayers engineered before her. By the files Deadalus has, it wouldn’t seem too far off to assume that Re-L was growth-accelerated through most of her childhood. It would explain why she lacks the ability to really ‘play’ with the childlike robot Pino, and the fact that she seemingly cannot seem to smile without much prompting or can’t seem to think of anything except in very rational, adult forms. Without her input, though, no one can really be sure. And true to her nature, Re-L is more willing to delve into other people’s business than let them into her own, so it may never really be known to anyone other than her.


        Suitability:

        For one, Re-L needs to develop things known as 'friends' and 'trust in others' along with simply needing to experience a young woman's lust without thinking herself strange.

        Though she is admittedly pretty damn inexperienced with all of the relevant actions for synchrony, however with a new world and a new reality, Re-L has already learned to adapt outside of Romdeau, so adapting to life as a Gembound in a new place should not be too difficult. The main obstacle may be that she is very unused to touch or affection given just because more than her own experience or lack thereof. She may be outwardly horrified at the idea of having to engage in anything like this in order to survive in this new place, but necessity and practicality will of course win out over things like possible shyness and inexperience. What's more, some people are in to a tall woman who will, in fact, step on them and may come in handy for some characters in game. At first she will react to the native gems as she would anyone else, a mild curiosity and as something to be observed. More than likely she'll keep a notebook of observations to help to piece things together a little easier. Any bodily changes (I can't quite settle on a certain form just yet) will be met with abject horror, however, and may require some coaxing to get her back out andin to the light of day while experiencing them. She is so used to her carefully curated appearance that any changes will be like a whiplash for her, and she will not be thrilled about it. What's more, as a imperfect clone of a proxy there is a certain fear in her that she will, one day, turn in to what she has termed as a 'monster' with what she's seen of the proxies on the outside, so of course some body horror in the form of some antlers is somewhere in her future in game.


        Condition upon arrival: Healthy, though with a set of severe brows and resting bitch face.

        Abilities:

        Re-L shows an inordinate amount of strength for a girl of her height and weight, presumably thanks to the Proxy genes she has, though imperfect. She also heals quickly, when the wounds are treated quickly, and seems to heal without any sort of scaring. Other than these seemingly innocuous abilities, Re-L appears to be a normal young woman for her height and weight. Re-L is naturally curious and intelligent – pairing that with her paramilitary training and expertise in the Intelligence Bureau of Romdeau, her skill set is very honed and specified. She also has a considerable dead-eye with her weaponry of choice and can shoot moving targets from a distance with considerable accuracy. To match with her above-average curiosity, Re-L is immensely intelligent. Mathematical and scientific theorems come as second nature to her, as well as figuring out mechanical problems. She is also extremely learned in theory and philosophy. Living in the maze-like domed city of Romdeau has also honed her directional skills. An intense sense of observation makes her able to discern small details that will help her to navigate back to the beginning of where ever her wanderings began, and an astute sense of inner compass helps her to maintain her position easily. This intense observation of most people and things drives her to have notebooks upon notebooks of small observations about people and places, which she often keeps as a sort of ‘behavioral log’ of each person she meets. Tracking could also be seen as one of her more notable advantages, a combination of keen eyes to track who or whatever she is following, and a knack for knowing small nuances of how rooms and streets typically look in opposition to how they appear after someone has been through them.
