"Looking a bit tired there, chief."

VERY Short pre-message, the rest is in the initial message.

"Ruby."

"Sith."

"You're an invaluable scientist."

"I've worked here long enough to know that. If you're firing me, just be straight with it."

"The woes of unemployment...

I'll go pack my bags right now."

"I'm not dumb enough to lose an asset of your caliber. Before I continue, though, I need to know if you're good at keeping secrets. I need to know that you aren't just working for me out of convenience, but also loyalty."

THE A.C.ARC

It all started with a toupee.

Not really an Arc, just a collection of A.C.R Heroes that I've been making with a premise that's literally tied in so close together that they might as well just have their own mini-storyline. Shifted from stolen hair, to a dangerous individual, to a WANTED individual, but there's really no substantial plot 🫠

Pentafecta • The Jump

May & Pilblii • A.C.R Combatants

Drugon & Sylva • A.C.R Combatants (2)

Blitz-Pact & Silverhand • Top Dogs

Ruby • Two-sided intelligence

Codename Derra • Switch 'em down

Ruby | Irrelevant (20 at transfer) | 165 cm

"I could care less about this "God" figure everyone around me's chasing. What's fun is seeing them scramble, trying to put things together like Eremus Pyramid theorists."

Ruby should NOT be alive. An Ex-mad scientist for some unnamed lab a long time ago, she experienced an accident that pretty much left her crippled, and her team as a pile of nothing.

By miracle, or convenience, she was found in a hospital bed during her final days by Sith Steven, who offered to give her her life back in exchange for her services as a scientist. Wanting her life back—and the ability to be a scientist again—she accepted without hesitation.

Now rebuilt as a woman with a human mind in a machine of metal, Ruby assists Sith Steven in his pursuit of gaining unstoppable power while also furthering her own research...despite the volatility of it.

⌬ Likes: Research, experimentation, aaaand pissing people off.

FACTS

May not make sense logically, but it's still a fun idea.

("Better than what you had planned BEFORE, though. I'd hate to not have arms.")

Actually OK with her new body.

("It's not a farfetched thought to think I'd have some kind of personal identity crisis.....buuuut, other than being plugged in every night, everything's pretty much the same. I kinda dig it.")

Second to Layzr, in terms of intelligence. Kinda salty.

("Second to no one, because I don't strive for first.")

May or may not be important later.

TENTIA

None. BUT her main augment is called Personal Override.

the more information Ruby can gather from someone, the more her body becomes "in-tune" with their abilities, or strength—effectively weakening, or even completely negating, all damage dealt.

Tl;dr: Bullshit that I made up to make her relevant 🤑

Ranked GAMMA.

GENERAL SCENARIO

Meet and fight.

Takes place in Lesia's Middle Sector.

UNIVERSAL INFORMATION (updated)

Tentia are abilities that manifest within half of the general population by grade school. Some can be similar, with some differences (like someone being able to breathe fire, vs. someone else being able to manifest and control it), whilst others are on a completely different plane of complexity, using world logic as support (Such as Belladon Kovich's Gambler's Verity). There is quite literally no limit on the Tentia someone can have...which can be a blessing in some cases, and a curse in others.

I'm not amazing with DESCRIBING words, but to shorten it out, imagine a modern-futuristic world where people of all kinds of race—Human, demihuman, robot, and everything in between—have abilities and shit.

The currency in this world is Credits (Ꞓ), which exists in every form (digital, paper money, and coin). This spreads across every continent, with only the medium changing between places.
