Appearance: Slender and lithe build with long dark purple hair with green eyes and pale complexion. Dresses in dark clothing, sometimes long and flowing or practical outdoors clothes

Personality: Mellow and chill vibes all around although as though nothing matters to her. Her one passion is the supernatural with which she has the tendency to be single minded to the point of obsession in pursuit of her interest.

Abilities: Video Editing, Social Media Management and Resourcefulness in Pursuit of Her Work. Otherwise Just a Regular ol' Human.

Situation: Currently drifting from town to town, staying in one place for a couple of months conducting fieldwork and research for her socials before moving to the next place, surviving off of funds generated through content monetisation

Clothes: Tends to wear either dark flowing clothing, often distressed or long sleeved or practical outdoors clothing, seemingly mixing the two at random unless she's out on fieldwork.

Other:



SECTION THREE: Personality

Trait One: Laid Back: Xara has no cares in the world. As far as she's concerned she's doing what she loves and everything else is secondary to that. Nothing really bothers her and she is for the most part content with life although this can reach the point of seeming to be indifferent to most things, sometimes manifesting as sarcastic contempt.

Trait Two: Obsessed: Xara has a fascination with all things dark, mysterious and spooky. Be it Cryptids, Ghost Stories, Witchcraft, Serial Killers, whatever; if it falls into the previous categories she's there 100%. She has a near encyclopaedic knowledge of the subject having studied it for both personal reasons and for her social media channels. To some she is seen as a subject matter expert, to those more clued in perhaps even a rising star in her field. To others she is seen pretty fucking weird...

Trait Three: Loner: Xara is friendly enough and a calming presence to anyone who may encounter her; its not that Xara has trouble making friends but rather she doesn't really care to make them, knowing that there is every likelihood that they'll never stay in touch unless they have a similar interest. With this in mind, she may appear disinterested and cold to those who she feels she may get along with, hating the idea of making friends with these people not because she hates the person but because she hates the fact she'd soon have to say goodbye.

Additional Information:

Resourceful: Accompanying Xara on her travels is her pitch black box. A heavy duty flight case containing an assortment of equipment, some of which is fairly high tech, necessary for conducting fieldwork which she has amassed over her career. From the equipment necessary to conduct outdoor expeditions both day and night to ghost hunting gear to animal tracking and area surveillance, she has been able to cobble together a series of solutions to most problems to reasonable effect. This, along with her laptop and recording equipment allows her to neatly move her operations with her as she travels. All equipment has been sourced by herself or donated by followers or associates, and even though she may not know how to use it at first she will do her best to learn how, finding the best ways to get the most out of the means available to her.

A Cryptid of Ones Own Making: Sometimes Xara wonders how the world sees her. Perhaps they see her as some sort of Cryptid like entity too; appearing in a town without warning destined to serve her uncaring algorithm overlord who's approval she requires to satisfy an inescapable thirst for social media ad revenue in order to survive. Any hope for an existence as a normal human being now forfeit; the last vestiges of her self cobbled together to create a digital twin, a mirage behind the black mirror which exists for the viewing pleasure of strangers across the internet. She carries out her duties diligently, reporting on her previous findings while gathering more information for her unseen puppet masters, only to disappear without trace to reappear in the next town over. Although this is the case she is content with this existence, driven by her passion for what she loves although there is a lingering sense of fear that if she doesn't give it her all, she may end up with nothing.

SECTION SIX: History

Date of Birth: September 22nd 2003

Place of Birth: Concord, New Hampshire

History:

Xara Olsen was born to an eccentric family living in Concord New Hampshire. From a young age she gained an interest in spooky stuff through her parents who used to tell ghost stories to her and her two sisters. Xara, taking the most interest out of the three of them, used to borrow books and resources from her parents, also interested in the supernatural and mysterious, to learn more and soon developed a fascination for it. In time her parents soon moved from telling spooky stories to actually helping her learn, telling her all about what they had learnt through their interest in the subject and providing her the means to grow her knowledge on her own terms.

Growing up she had plans to eventually take up history in school and study it in more depth, possibly even become a teacher as a way to pay forward her parents acts towards her, ever grateful for the things she was taught, however due to poor mental health brought on by a difficult time in school she found herself struggling to progress. While she continued to study in her spare time, feeling alone and isolated by her school life she took to the internet to find friendship. Her knowledge of the subject took her to forums and blogs on the internet where she could connect with like minded folk where not only could she make friends, learn more about some of her favourite subjects but also find a way to teach and share her knowledge with others. Fearing the struggles of school and that she may not even progress to graduation, she came up with a backup plan; starting a blog which soon grew to include multiple social media channels and a video channel. Out of this necessity XaraCryptid was born.

Using this persona she began to garner quite a following, a young woman with a highly detailed knowledge of cryptozoology, serial killers, ghost stories and other dark and twisted subjects attracted followers quickly, she even began to make some money off it. Giving up on school entirely she threw everything into the channel and somehow, it worked. Over time she went from making a little cash here and there to even being able to move out of her parents house and get herself set up on her own. That's when she got an idea...

She could be anywhere. At any time. Growing the channel and allowing herself to live an even more comfortable life, all the while doing the thing she loves the most. Like a musician might go on tour, she could too. All the while, allowing her to create even more high quality content, and create more impressive things. As far as she concerned the world was at her feet, all she had to do was prove that it would work. She did a test run down the East Coast; inspired by the History Channel documentaries yet condensing it into a more personal, shorter form, meanwhile producing her older type of content to tide her over while her fieldwork was ongoing. This proved to be a reasonable success, using her personal blogs to document her travels to also attracted a wider audience to content which was well crafted, informative and easily digestible; the experiment had worked.

Now all that was left was to go a little further afield, choosing this time to travel down the West Coast; from the Winchester Mystery House and The Cecil Hotel to spending time with people looking for Bigfoot or Taho Tessie, quite an itinerary was planned. One item which made it onto the list among them was Polaris Pass. A little known location although famous for its Halloween Celebrations, various rumours of cryptids or demonic entities being sighted around the town and, of course, the story of Nell; a young girl who went missing in the area in the 1980's who's disappearance remains an unsolved mystery. With such a rich and varied history yet somehow seeming so obscure she couldn't help but stop by, at least for a couple of months, to see what was going on.

Situation: Homeless fugitive, hoping to blend in with the other escapees in Polaris Pass.



SECTION TWO: Appearance

Gallery Link: If you have an off-site gallery of images for the character, please link it here.

Height: 5'2''

Body: Petite with a curvy yet lithe build and little muscle.

Face: Somewhat catlike, soft and delicate features with unblemished and fair complexion.

Eyes: Pale Hazel coloured eyes, almost verging on grey in places

Hair: Wavy blonde hair kept in a rough cut bob

Clothes: A pair of men's chino's with a well made well made light blue shirt and black moleskin jacket far too large and baggy for her with a baseball cap on backwards used to hide her ears from anyone who might notice.

Other: Has a pair of pale and brown tabby coloured ears and catlike tail though this is usually obscured by her hat and trousers.



SECTION THREE: Personality

Socially Inept: Luna has rarely ventured outside of her keeper's home and with limited company she therefore lacks socially. Her only exposure to what the world outside is like is coming through the free time she has staring out the window, from books or from the movies she watched with her master. Though she often presents herself as polite well mannered to account for this, she struggles to understand social cues in a functional and reasonable way.

Heart of Gold: For all she has been through, Luna is a warm and playful soul with a childlike innocence and positivity. She is kind and affectionate to all whether she has imprinted on them or not though she is also willing to share this affection to people regardless of their intentions or motivations.

Short Fuse: Beneath the surface lies a seething ball of untethered feline chaos and rage. She will not protest if she has imprinted, choosing instead to remain silent. If something irks her and no imprint is in place, she has no problems taking issue with the situation. She will not hesitate to let her protest known although she lacks restraint in doing so.

Additional Information:

Observant and Methodical: She has an eye for details and forward planning. If she spends time following instructions, she has more time to think ahead.

Imprinted: Those who she imprints on she will treat as though they are her master. For every instruction, a degree of imprinting occurs with that character which diminishes over time.

SECTION FOUR: Abilities

Ability Format: Nek0

Advantages:
+ Rapid Learning
+ Omnilingual
+ Sleepless

Disadvantages:
- Weakened Attribute (Strength)
- Weakened Attribute (Durability)
- Suggestible
- Under Orders (Master)
- Starving

Spellcasting: If your character has taken spellcasting, include their magic types and conditions here, using the template from the wiki page.

Core Advantage:
Fight or Flight- Unbeknownst to her, if a fight or flight response is triggered her weakened attributes temporarily become diminished instead. Used to improve outcomes if testing goes wrong however can assist in the act of escaping harmful situations. She is exhausted once calmed down and once calm gains no benefit from core advantage until rested.

Core Disadvantage:
Obedient- Programmed as an afterthought when she became earmarked for testing. When a direct command is given to Luna she will follow it to the letter and will only cease following it if a new command overrides it. This relies on Luna hearing the command and it must be explicitly directed at her. The use of these commands creates an imprint on Luna who she will begin to serve as though her keeper, increasing in duration and intensity with each command that is given.

Bonus: What is your bonus? Having a bonus is optional.

Nerfs and Flavor: Are any of your character's advantages weaker than usual? Does anything visually unusual happen when they use their abilities? If so, describe here.

SECTION SIX: History

Date of Birth: 14th November, 2016

Place of Birth: Nek0 Labs, Japan

History:

Originally destined for a client in Lithuania, after her client's financial affairs became public knowledge Luna's order was cancelled last minute in an attempt by Nek0 to cover their tracks. Without her original client she was instead sent to a keeper in Seattle as a below board payment to the chairman of a technology company providing contractor work and expertise in sensors and microchips to Nek0 on the provision that Luna could be used as a test mule for any devices used in the production, tracking and control of Nek0's products built in this partnership.

At first, her keeper didn't know what to do with her, using her as a maid and treated her well yet upon realising she would do anything asked of her, their relationship quickly took a turn for the worst. Luna rarely left the house, the only exceptions being for trials conducted on behalf of Nek0. She began to grow curious about the outside world in her time with her keeper which was met with a paranoia that slowly began to fester uncontrollably, made worse by stories they had both heard from the Nek0 team, of those who had escaped. Fearing Luna may do the same, he tightened security; installing a shock collar only removable through the use of a specially designed magnetic key fob, which would administer a crippling shock if she wandered too far from the house, and a GPS tracking device which was installed in a spot beneath her ribcage, initially as a test but was never removed.

Despite all this, Luna loved her keeper dearly, following his instructions to the letter as always. This didn't stop his paranoia gradually making his treatment of her worse over time. She went from becoming a servant to a plaything, her keeper becoming ever more punishing which led to Luna loosing her free time at night, instead kept tethered to the wall of his playroom while he slept. Eventually he grew to fear what might happen to his reputation if someone found out about her and, ashamed of himself and his treatment of Luna, decided he couldn't take it any more and contacted Nek0 to have her removed. Upon learning of this, Luna was heartbroken despite all she had endured. She still loved him but not wanting to be kept apart from him, knowing he didn't love her back and fearing for her life knowing Nek0 was coming for her, she hatches a plan to escape; starting at midnight the day of her removal yet only making it out of the house by the skin of her teeth as the Nek0 agents came to collect her that morning. Leaving the house without her tracker, collar and free of any commands that would prevent her from running as far away as she could.

Travelling by bus to Seattle and then onwards aiming for Florida, her keepers card is cancelled allowing her to only get as far as Portland. She cashes in her remaining spare change for a single bus ticket that could take her as far away as possible. The bus driver, handing her a one way ticket to Polaris Pass. She arrives late in the day, exhausted, injured and afraid, unaware of what would await for her there.

Michael Taylor

Below is some info on how I imagined the arrangement between Michael and Nek0 worked. This information is spoiler'd incase this information comes up at a later date if KC and Co decide to kick down his door.

How Michael became involved

- Owns Ralsens; a small sensor technology company who operate out of Seattle, capable of designing and manufacturing state of the art sensors for biomedical applications.

- Approached by a Japanese project management consultancy looking to complete a project for a Biotech firm working in the field of gene editing to manufacture a bespoke sensor for a part of their process. Offering crazy sums of money to achieve something Michael felt they were easily able to achieve.

- An NDA was signed in order to accept the project, the detail similar to a top secret military contract but given the nature of the work involved, Michael felt it was reasonable; plus the money would help the company currently struggling to grow.

- In reality the consultancy firm and contacts are Nek0 employees using shell companies and false names to create distance between Ralsens and Nek0.

How the arrangement works

- Only Michael understands what is being created and to what end; the parts themselves are taken out of context thereby not involving anyone else with the understanding of what the project is.

- Parts are shipped from Seattle to Tokyo via air freight, once they make land in Japan they are sent to a warehouse in Tokyo with an agreement with another Nek0 shell company (Michael would know the warehouse address). Here they are picked up by Nek0 staff and taken to their facilities elsewhere in Japan to ensure their location cannot be traced by those outside the company.

How Michael took ownership of Luna

- Due to Ralsens' success on its first project, Michael found himself becoming more involved with Nek0 projects and with the manufacture of sensors relating to the shock collar and insertable tracking devices among other elements. The nature of the projects allowed Michael to piece together an idea of what Nek0 was working on, and he did not like it; taking his concerns to the project manager at Nek0's shell company and threatened to break his NDA.

- The project manager responds by ensuring the needs of Michaels company are met financially in order for him to keep his mouth shut. He also opens up to Michael, stating that what is being created should not be considered human.

- To prove their point, a "prototype" product, Luna, is given to Michael with an agreement in place for what should be done to her.

> Michael gets to see for himself what the company is doing by getting free use of a "company product" to live with and why he shouldn't be concerned at what the company is creating.​

> Michael has a means to test more products, allowing him to make production more efficient by speeding up the testing process​

> Michael, a man in his early 40's who had prioritised his company and career over starting a family, could use the company​

> Nek0 gains a means to field test their products by testing on Luna who is with an owner yet they are still able to get access to should they need it​

​

- The agreement appears mutually beneficial however they do not tell Michael that Luna is also under orders to ensure Michael's needs are met, including physical and emotional. This provides the impetus for Nek0 to create blackmail through Luna, ensuring that Michael has an additional reason to not take the money and run. Nek0 also viewed it as an experiment of their own on manipulation.

Why pass Luna back

- Michael was led to believe Luna was some kind of human looking robot. Receiving something which appeared to be a human being, despite her initially machine like behaviour proved to be a shock. With his mindset that Luna wasn't human and with the subtle push given to Luna by Nek0, events were set into motion.

- In time, Michael began to feel guilty for what he was doing. As Luna's Nek0 programming wore off it became clear she was much more sentient than he had initially thought.

- Luna had outlived her usefulness, they had already gained enough evidence to blackmail him if they needed to so it was nothing to take her back and use her for further testing in their facilities in Japan until she was no longer of use.

- Realising Michael was struggling to cope, still requiring his expertise (at least in the short term) they agreed to take Luna back so he could continue to work for them without the guilt having Luna brought him.

Michael's contacts with Nek0

- Michael has contact with two members of Nek0's team...
> The project manager overseeing the projects Michael works on
> The doctor who provides medical care and assists in running tests on Luna; both for Michael and Nek0's aims.

- Any names given are fake, Michael would not know the real names or identities of the people he encountered who worked for Nek0 or any of their shell companies.

What happens once Luna escapes

- Nek0 agents took photographs of Michael's house which would potentially incriminate him under human trafficking charges. Michael was freed by a Nek0 agent after Luna had already removed her tracker. Unable to locate her, Michael is ordered to carry on as if nothing had happened, otherwise they would use the evidence and a clone of Luna to compel authorities to arrest him.

- Meanwhile, a hostile takeover of Michael's company has been set into motion from an obscure yet wealthy trust fund operating from Singapore.

- While Nek0 hopes to track down Luna, Michael is able to continue to live his life as normal.

- If they have any suspicion details about the company have been compromised, Michael will also be disposed of. The hostile takeover will be completed and a version of Michael created by Nek0 will eventually take his place.

History:

Robert Sutton was imagined in the year 1908. A dream of a wealthy couple in Tucson Arizona who wished to have a child yet try as they might could not conceive. His mother had an interest for writing and poetry, his father was an artist who had made his wealth through painting. Through their shared love of art, Robert's mother proposed to his father that if perhaps they could not have their child, there may be other ways to bring him to life. As an attempt to manage their grief, they turned to art and story, dreaming of the child who would never be; the boy Robert Sutton. She wrote poetry about a life that could have been, he drew art in charcoal sketch and oil paint; in time they assembled a vast collection documenting Robert Sutton's early life, the most impressive piece was a vast canvas of a man in his late twenties that represented the end of their story and an impression of the man Robert may have one day grown up to be.

In a place beyond the plane where Tucson Arizona resides, an image of a man appeared; Robert Sutton. A projection of the painting created by the desire to know their child that resides within the dream realm. At night whenever Roberts parents slept, their astral projection may walk within the dream realm so that the two of them could be with their son. On the passing of his father, his mother agreed to sell the art to a private collector who, enamoured by the story, decided Robert Sutton should be shared with the world; eventually managing to arrange a lease agreement to an art museum in New York.

The world began to know the image of Robert Sutton, his beauty and touching story leaving an impression on many that encountered the image, in time Robert's image found itself being visited in the dream realm by more than just his parents. With images only appearing only when the subject of a dream, to those who lived and frequented the dream realm, Robert's image became a common sighting to those who resided there. And with no understanding of the reasons the dreams appeared; many eventually considered Robert to be a native resident of the dream realm by those who frequented it and resided within. One such resident, a young artist by the name of Adaline who entered the dream realm to seek inspiration yet became lost in its beauty was frequently visited by Robert and she formed a relationship with him, not realising he was a projection of someone else's fantasies.

One day, the museum housing the artwork caught fire and in a terrible twist of fate, the entire collection was reduced to ash. Those that knew of Robert grew old and began to pass away. No records were kept and with that, Robert's memory began to fade and with him so too did Robert. It was only then that Adaline realised that Robert was a dream. Watching her lover fade away before her eyes she takes a desperate action, using magic to try and rescue Robert so they could be together, carving a portion of her soul and binding it to his image so they could continue to be together, granting him a life and sentience.

Robert did not recall the life that they shared, only the story that he had been granted by his parents. What's more, his body was still nothing more than a projection, becoming more incorporeal and fading more with each passing day. Even though the woman who carved a portion of her soul was still madly in love with him, Robert knew he was dying and if he didn't take a desperate action, his body would continue to fade from existence until he was nothing. He left Adaline behind and ran. Leaving the dream realm took a further toll upon his body, no dream is permitted to leave the dream realm yet with his soul he was able to sustain what little of his body could survive the journey. Finding his way to the seat of Avax Set and within the halls of his grand palace a portal which took him to another world. Here he hoped perhaps he could make people dream of him again.

Other:

SECTION THREE: Personality

Trait One: No Nonsense: Hadi tends to be direct and clear with what he wants and confident with how he articulates it. He is direct and to the point though he doesn't suffer fools and has no issues expressing that fact. His no nonsense approach also manifests itself in how he conducts his business, an eye for detail and expectation of professionalism however can come across as ruthless in pursuit of his end goal.

Trait Two: Charming: He is cool, calm and collected, a smooth operator who knows exactly what he wants and has no issues talking someone in to getting it. Friendly and outgoing, more than happy to talk to strangers. He can come across as charming and flirtatious though his actions are often used in pursuit of his own ends and can be easily construed as pushy or manipulative.

Trait Three: Vengeful: Hadi does not take no for an answer and if something, or someone, gets in his way he will do his best to remove any obstacle in his path; even the smallest infraction he can take personally and whether he shares it or not he does not easily forget or forgive. He isn't keen to accept that people can change if they prove themselves to be an obstacle to him and can be prone to vindictive behaviour if it means he can either get even at minimum or get rid of something that might prevent him realising his goals.

Additional Information:

Needy: Hadi has to stay close to other people. And though he doesn't like to show it, he will use his charm and his business as a means to do so. He literally cannot be alone so will use whatever tool he can find to ensure there is at least someone within twenty feet of him at all times.

Gym Shark: Rakshasa are known for their violent feats of warfare and strength. In a modern society where melee combat is generally hard to come by, Hadi instead uses the gym as a means to scratch the physical itch he tends to crave. Pushing himself hard is a hobby to him that he enjoys, well versed in how to get the most out of his form though it can come across as vain. Given that few can see the body that lies beneath Hadi's illusion magic, he can come across as almost delusional at the amount of progress he's making to those who don't know him all that well.

SECTION FOUR: Abilities

Ability Format: Choose one or more of the three that applies: Custom Species (Name which one) / Spellcasting / Standard Traits.

Spellcasting Theme: Illusion Magic

Core Advantage:

Soul Displacement: By using his magic, Nahlakor is able to move from Hadi's body to another. Using this advantage he is able to either create a new Rakshasa by leaving a part of his soul behind in his previous body while he occupies a new one or turn other people into Rakshasa by stripping the majority of their soul away and giving them a portion of his own greater than what is left of theirs. This has the effect of turning the human into Hadi's monstrous form over a space of one month. Newly formed Rakshasa gain the same advantages and disadvantages as Hadi however have one year to live unless Hadi is able to sustain them. They also gain Hadi's memories as if they were their own. The effect on non-human creatures is only partial, only certain traits are passed until the limit is reached. Soul displacement can only be done by consent of the person who's body is being entered.

Core Disadvantage:

Vesselless Form: The shaitan known as Nahlakor who controls the body known as Hadi Suryanto can be released if either dispelled/exorcised using magic or if Hadi is killed. Nahlakor's vesselless form has the following advantages and disadvantages...

Advantages:
Induce Sin: Vanity
Induce Sin: Anger
Induce Sin: Lust
Induce Sin: Anger
Flight

Disadvantages:

Anchor: Other people
Imminent
Magically Dependent

Aversion: Holy Symbols

In addition...
- Is completely invisible, only able to be viewed or made visible using magic
- Is completely incorporeal and cannot interact with the physical world except via its illusion magic
- Cannot re-enter a dead vessel and must therefore find a new vessel to inhabit

It is possible to save Hadi from his possession, Hadi will loose most traits and spellcasting listed above though will retain his monstrous form.

Date of Birth: Year not necessary.

Place of Birth: Hadi: Padang, Indonesia / Nahlakor: Hell

History: Explain the character's history. Bullet points are fine, as are paragraphs.

Key Points-
Nahlakor was a demon, sent to Indonesia with the purpose of cheating humans out of their souls to be sent to hell for their masters benefit. A feat usually achieved by promising to get something done and leading them astray for their soul in return. He did this successfully for many hundreds of years however unbeknownst to him had managed to attract the attention of an Asura who watched over the people in this land. Annoyed with the demon and his attempt to manipulate his followers, the Asura appeared before Nahlakor disguised as a crane who made the demon an offer. The Asura promised Nahlakor a form of magic that would corrupt any human he touched, turning his victims into monsters which the Asura intended for use in his army in the ever lasting war against the Deva. This magic would grant Nahlakor, jealous of the humans he sought to manipulate, a physical body which he could use for his own purposes; all Nahlakor had to do in return was ensure enough soul remained for the newly created monster could still be pressganged into service by the Asura. Soldiers in an ever lasting war only needed enough life force to reach the battlefield and spying an opportunity, Nahlakor accepted the Asura's offer.

Nahlakor's monsters became Rakshasa, a fearsome demon of Hindu mythology; and Nahlakor was able to inhabit this form. Moving between new bodies like a parasite and creating more Rakshasa with short lives subservient to him and his Asuran masters, he carved off fragments of his soul to create more soldiers for the Asuras army while maintaining a small crew of his own to make his soul stealing antics all the more efficient. His masters in hell were impressed by his work however began to notice that as he carved off more and more parts of his soul, he was becoming weaker. Realising that a valuble asset had been tricked into slowly killing themselves and would cease to exist if Nahlakor continued to work for the Asura, they decided to offer him a promotion and a new patch away from the Asura's territory.

His mission was simple: Steal a soul large enough to heal the parts that he had lost and preferably one compatible with his own. Establish an enclave of Rakshasa to make his own work more efficient than other demons of his kind like he had already in Jakarta and Singapore in the years before then and in the process: steal as many souls as possible. Even with the soul market in decline, people would still be willing to pay a premium for something more potent than a mere human soul. Accepting his brief he assumed the form of one Hadi Suryanto, a form he had been using for some time in Indonesia, and was promptly returned to earth. His destination: Polaris Pass.

Suzy Anderson's Brainstorm

CW: Suzy Anderson's Brain

What's Buggin' Snuggle Bug?

1. Suzy is afraid that all she will ever be to anyone is a "physical affection craving, scared little pet who can't face the outside world without someone to keep me safe". She feels this way because...

• a. The actions/mannerisms she is most used to performing are the ones programmed into her by Nek0.
  • It frustrates her that she moves through the world in this way and people seem to reach to treating her this way.
  • She is ashamed of the above.
  • She feels self hatred for the above.
• b. Likewise the relationships she has fallen into and treasure the most mirror the relationship she had with Michael Taylor due to power dynamics, roles and the fact she must perform these relationships or else she becomes homeless again.
  • She feels point b is justification for the beliefs outlined in issue 1
  • She is scared that her own mind will ruin these relationships with inherently good people.
  • She is ashamed of the above
  • She feels self hatred for the above
  • She is scared for her own wellbeing as she fears her brain may pull her back into an unhealthy relationship i.e. Michael Taylor

2. Suzy gets upset when people imply jokingly that her and Ava are dating. She feels this way because...

• It confuses her that she doesn't get the joke and the fact people are laughing about it.
• It confuses her that she does feel something for Ava but doesn't actually understand what.
• She acknowledges the feeling for Ava that she doesn't understand and therefore doesn't know how to act.
  • This scares her in case her incorrect choice of action drives Ava away.
  • It confuses her because she is trying to disseminate an appropriate action from a set of abstract feelings and emotions she doesn't understand yet everyone else seems to.
  • It frustrates her because she feels her choices of action only perpetuate issue 1.
• She feels ashamed that she doesn't get it and feels like she should but feels incapable of understanding what's happening.

3. Does not know which thoughts are hers or which thoughts are a result of mind control and imprinting

4. Feels jealous of others who seem to navigate the world better than she does.

5. Suzy has revenge fantasies about Nek0 staff and keepers and they scare her.

6. Suzy is beginning to realise if she does dangerous things, it'll allow her to sleep bad feelings off.

Exploring Specific Points
The points highlighted above should be explored.

1. The heading is the point to be explored. The number corresponds to the heading associated.

• Points explored are indented below

1. She is ashamed of herself.

• She associates Nek0's programmed mannerisms and behaviours with belonging to Michael and being "scared little pet." She is aware of what that means and doesn't want to be that. She hates the thought of people seeing and treating her like that even though in reality, nobody treats her like Michael Taylor did.
• Ava sees her as a best friend and she also likes being physical and Sonny sees her as a little sister. She trusts them. Not herself. Nobody else would treat her that way as they value her as a person.

1. She hates herself

• She hates the way she feels she falls into those actions as she wishes never to be in that situation again
• As point above but she must also learn to not be harsh on herself. To simply be and learn to find a peace in the fact she is safe with others.
• She must also push herself to find what makes her happy and feel fulfilment in life. Running to something rather than from it.

2. It confuses her because she doesn't get the joke and people are laughing about it.

• It plays into her own anxieties that she isn't taken as an equal among people who are supposed to be her friends
• It plays into her own anxieties that her own relationships are falling into the same patterns as they did with Sir
• It plays into her anxieties that she has no control over the types of relationships that she can naturally form

2. It confuses her because she does feel something for Ava but doesn't know what...

• She admires Ava for her strength, mentally and physically.
• She wishes she could achieve the same kind of fortitude as Ava.
• She knows she cannot achieve Ava's physical strength.
• Susy admires Ava's physical strength. This extends to other physically strong characters (currently, Ava, Leloo and Kurumi). What type of attraction is this?

Overcoming The Above
The points highlighted above should be challenged

• A tool she can use to do this is listed as an indent
  • A potential plot point or action related to the tool is listed as a sub-point

1. "All I will ever be is a physical affection craving, scared little pet who can't face the outside world without someone to keep me safe"

• Suzy can overcome this feeling through Positive Affirmation, enforcing the idea that she can be more than this.
  • Its up to her now to prove that to herself.
• Suzy must challenge herself to try and see what others see in her and not project her own anxieties onto others
  • Regarding Sonny as the big brother she never had and Ava as the best friend she always wanted
• Suzy needs to find ways to remain calm and learn to find what makes her happy in herself.
  • Hobbies like...
  • Martial Arts (pursuing the study of other arts that better suit her build)
  • Skateboarding (Jasper and Tomomi do it and it looks like fun, maybe she could too)
  • Mindfulness stuff (Getting into pro-active mindfulness or relaxation techniques which can synergise with her massage therapy stuff if she chooses to pick it up again one day)
• Suzy understands her relationships actually don't match. Despite the fact that there are some similarities that scare her, she should learn not to hyperfocus on small details.
• She must learn to set boundaries with others in a healthy way and accept that most people are reasonable and will accept them. She doesn't need to engage with those who don't.

2. It confuses her because she doesn't get the joke and people are laughing about it

• By affirming to herself that people wouldn't be her friends if they didn't want to be around her, Suzy can assure herself that it is a joke, not that they see her or her situation as a joke. If she doesn't know them yet then perhaps it would do her better to make more friends.
• Suzy should bear in mind that she has a strength of her own that she can carry. It is possible for her to match and exceed Ava's fortitude.

On how to act without perpetuating issue 1-

• Suzy is attracted to Ava and the rest of the physically strong female characters. This attraction is physical, emotional and aesthetic for Ava, for others it is Physical and Aesthetic however Suzy feels safe amongst this group. She does not want sexual contact (the idea of sex freaks her out) and she does not crave a romantic connection with Ava or the other characters, but strongly craves physical and emotional connection. Suzy must be aware of this and by understanding the different types of attraction people can experience can try to compare her feelings with how others feel to ensure she is not overstepping the mark and creating balanced relationships when attraction is involved.
• Meanwhile, Suzy must keep in mind the role she plays within those relationships. Being the best version of herself and setting boundaries to avoid relationships that she feels compromises her.

Roadblocks
Roadblocks are highlighted above. Roadblocks are points that provide a barrier which Suzy must somehow overcome in order to eliminate this feeling.
1. "All I will ever be is a physical affection craving, scared little pet who can't face the outside world without someone to keep me safe"

• Suzy's relationships follow that pattern however she enjoys her relationship with Ava even if the idea of her being this way frustrates her.
  • She needs to create more relationships to give her better tools to understand why she feels this way with Ava and if she feels this way for others.
• To get her life in order, she needs her documents. That involves a direct confrontation with Sir.

2. She feels ashamed that she doesn't get it and feels like she should but feels incapable of understanding what's happening.

• Understanding that maybe that's okay. Everyone has to learn somehow. Suzy just needs more practice.
