S2M6 'Eternity'

Before he died, Eternity’s father downloaded an enormous sum of information - everything he could get his hands on with no specific topics - into her memory banks at her request, that the knowledge not be lost with the passing of her home reality. As a result she has knowledge across an incredibly broad range of fields. However, due to the vastness of this knowledge, she has difficulty remembering that it’s there unless prompted by an external factor.

Eternity was created with basic knowledge of hand-to-hand fighting. However, she was designed primarily to simply quickly incapacitate her opponent with her sheer strength and speed rather than actual skill, and she was only created with human threats in mind. That said, she remains capable of learning and is very good at reading a situation, allowing her to judge what is and isn’t effective. As a result, her current ‘style’ couldn’t really be recognized as an official school by any true martial artist and is rather a mix and match of whatever works against her current opponent.

As a gynoid, Eternity’s recollection of any information is absolute, down to the smallest detail. She is, in fact, a living encyclopedia of most human knowledge, though there’s so much there that she has trouble recalling anything specific that might have helped her in a situation unless prompted by an external factor.

Eternity’s durability and incredible tenacity primarily stem from the nanites her body is composed of. Each of these is capable of reconstructing molecules into other materials, allowing them to reproduce, modify their own composition, and even synthesize independent objects entirely. As a side effect, this allows Eternity to change physical form without limit provided she has the resources on hand to make the change, as well as synthesize new materials - including complete copies of herself. However, due to her desire to avoid being ‘too unnatural’ she does not utilize these abilities beyond self-repair, which is only done due to her directives and promise to her father forcing her to prioritize her own safety.

Eternity is capable of interfacing with just about any sort of piece of technology that utilizes a CPU, wirelessly if it has that capability, or by hard-point USB. It’s not an ability she uses frequently save to establish her bearings and - in extreme cases - fabricate an identity for herself.

Eternity is powered by ‘Etheric Generators’ which are small, roughly baseball sized, modular power plants that produce power endlessly with no apparent waste-products - as if simply pulling energy ‘from the ether’ - hence the name. It turns out, however, that is literally exactly what they’re doing, resulting in an enormous amount of raw, untamed magical energy leaking out as they run. This power is extremely malleable and, as it’s being filtered through Eternity, molds itself to her. One could almost call it a nebulous extension of her soul.

Eternity’s body wasn’t designed with the channeling of aetheric energy in mind upon her creation. Indeed, it wasn’t designed to even sustain contact with it in the first place as aetheric energy was completely unknown to all involved until Eternity herself discovered it long after the end of her home. It is extremely malleable, so its presence permeating throughout her is benign and unobtrusive - though it has had a few peculiar effects such as the development of her soul. However, when she actively channels it, the energy becomes dense and concentrated enough that it begins to strain her body. Channeling too much at a time causes her to begin overheating, signals to being mixed, and generally results in a critical shutdown of all her systems. In other words, she short-circuits herself. That said, she can accomplish quite a bit before reaching this threshold due to her natural durability - statistically speaking, she can utilize roughly ten percent of her base mana safely. See the notes under her stamina for more specific details on the effects this has on her systems.

Eternity’s power plants are in truth direct links to the Pure Aether, which is in essence the realm of ‘potential.’ As such they provide her with an infinite supply of energy, both electrical and arcane. However, the arcane energy in question is a contaminant to worlds not adapted to its presence and will eventually destroy their biomes entirely. In other words; Eternity is a walking Chernobyl to worlds without magic. The flow of arcane power cannot be stopped without stopping the flow of electrical power, meaning that in order to stop polluting the environment with excess mana Eternity has to shut herself down and -effectively- die. Furthermore, it was proposed to her that - as her soul was created by this energy and she’s existed alongside it for so long - separating her from it entirely by changing to a different power source could have catastrophic consequences for her. Normally this would not stop her, but her core directives - and her promise to her father - deny her the ability to deliberately and willfully harm herself for any reason short of being compromised by an external entity or having literally no other recourse but to do so in order to fulfill her other directives.

Eternity deliberately limits herself to her minimal possible physical capabilities in order to be closer to human levels. Even her weakest, however, is still incredibly strong by human levels. If extremely pressed, she will begin increasing her physical capacity, capping out at the ability to handle hundred-ton objects [with each arm] before an outright change of shape would be necessary.

Eternity is capable of moving up to 30 mph at in her present (limited) state, which is straddling the line for human limits. Were she to unlimit herself and restructure her musculature to move as fast as possible, she would be capable of moving at a speed of approximately 75 mph - just over twice as fast. Her perception and reaction times, however, are between Tiers 8 and 9.

Theoretically infinite, Functionally variable. Assuming a lack of debilitating injuries or use of her more exotic abilities, Eternity may continue fighting more or less until the end of time without ‘tiring.’ Use of her powers lowers this proportionate to the amount used; so if she’s constantly using her powers this stat can be assumed to start at 168 continuous hours and drop by 1 for every minute of constant energy channelling. So a week of passive use (minimal, frequent pauses between spells), roughly two hours of constant use (constant firing of spells with few to no breaks). A quarter of that (~half an hour) of intensive use (constant channeling of ‘heavy’ spells without break.)

At her most basic level, Eternity’s magic is capable of literally warping reality around her to suit her subconscious wants if left unopposed. At the full level she’s theoretically capable of simply overwriting the rules of the universe itself, but her body isn’t made to channel this energy even though it’s present - as a result doing so excessively results in increasing damage to herself proportionate to the amount of energy being channeled. Were she to operate at “full burn” as it were, she would likely only last minutes before her body is completely destroyed, at the most.

Nothing short of high caliber gunfire (such as an anti-material rifle) or heavy weapons will effectively harm Eternity on a single hit; repeated shots to the same area will eventually break through regardless of the caliber. Physical melee weapons are much less effective, but can also penetrate with enough effort. She is vulnerable to plasma and heat-based damage, but pure electricity is ineffective unless her armor and the insulation beneath it have both been breached. For obvious reasons, biological attacks (such as toxins, poisons, venoms, etc.) are completely ineffective.

Listed for the sake of convenience when detailing the exact capabilities of Eternity’s spells. Her supply of aetheric energy is theoretically unlimited. This value is simply representative of the amount each generator can safely channel before redlining.

“Kinetic” Barrier is something of a misnomer as, rather than a flat force of kinetic energy, it is in truth a manifestation of Newton’s Third Law - “Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.” In other words, the barrier exists as ‘a force directly opposed’ to whatever attack is striking it. It can be a force of motion, or something else. To elaborate: a fist throwing a punch will behave as if it were punched by an equivalent fist with equivalent force, a spell will fizzle out, a laser will hold in place ineffectively, and so on. As one might discern, these barriers are nigh-unbreakable. The primary limitation to this technique is that, like all Eternity’s spells, she has to place the majority of her attention on it to maintain it. Furthermore, due to the limitations of her aether manipulation, pressuring the shield with immense force will eventually overwhelm her ability to channel power into it. Reassuring, because the implications of hitting the barrier with force equivalent to, say, a planet’s gravity well, would result in something… catastrophic... to say the least (in practice, this essentially lets Eternity turn her Magic into Durability; if she can pay to match the damage, she takes none and the attacker takes it instead if it’s a physical melee attack). These barriers may be formed into spheres / semi-spheres with diameters equivalent to the amount of Magic Eternity has available in inches, for a maximum diameter of ~83 feet / 25.4 meters at her base level. Every unit of Magic used (i/e every inch) requires an additional percentage of her attention (at a 1/100 ratio so that 1000 = 100%).

Functions on the same principle as Kinetic Barrier, in a weaponized form. Essentially, the Kinetic Rod is a straight beam of energy that extends from Eternity’s palm or finger toward her target. If it impacts then it will push them forward in addition to its normal rebound effect - however if they dodge then Eternity may simply wave the rod toward them as it acts like a solid object. Similarly, it can be used to deflect attacks. Its weaknesses are the same as the barrier’s. It can be extended one inch per unit of Magic Eternity has available, to a maximum of length of ~83 feet / 25.4 meters at her base level. Every unit of Magic used (i/e every inch) requires an additional percentage of her attention  (at a 1/100 ratio so that 1000 = 100%).

Exactly what it says on the tin, though not quite ‘true’ telekinesis as it has nothing to do with psychic power (unless one considers the manipulation of the aether as such which is possible due to how malleable it is to sheer will.) Essentially, Eternity creates a remote ‘pocket’ of aether which is then wrapped around an object and used to lift / manipulate it. The weight of the object she can lift, the amount of force that can be exerted upon it, and how far away it can be lifted from are all dependent upon her Magic, with 1 corresponding to 1 ton / 1 newton / 1 inch. This can be overpowered if the target is stronger than Eternity’s Magic being exerted, physically, magically, or spiritually. Furthermore, Eternity’s attention is again focused on this task, with a percentage per unit of magic (at a 1/100 ratio so that 1000 = 100%).

Easily the most intensive of all of Eternity’s abilities, in the time it takes to calculate the variables necessary to make the teleportation all of Eternity’s attention is taken, though this is mitigated by the sheer speed at which she thinks. Statistically, she can teleport two inches per unit of Magic instantaneously to any location that she can calculate the coordinates (in relation to herself as the origin point) of. Doing so is very taxing on her, however, and she requires several moments (1s per 12 units of Magic, i/e a second per foot) to ‘cool off’ before being able to make another safely.

Let it now be emphasized - this technique is a weapon of absolute last resort, where the situation is so completely and utterly beyond any sense of hope that not even an act of god could achieve salvation. To explain: essentially, Eternity self destructs. Deliberately, she draws an enormous sum of magic through one or all of her generators in an instant, causing it to destabilize and collapse upon itself. In essence, she turns the needle-hole in reality that is her core into a gaping rift which proceeds to expand, consuming an enormous sum of space (one mile for every unit of Magic, for a maximum of 60,000 cubic miles / 96,560.6 cubic kilometers in full Unity. Theoretically. She’s never done this before, obviously, as she would have certainly died. If she does use this technique, it is likely an unintentional side effect of drawing so much power at once to counter something equally powerful.
