Eva Blackstone

Appearance and Augmentations:

Armor: She wears a sleek, matte-black exosuit with angular plating and broad shoulders, built to look imposing and conceal her true form. The helmet has a visor with shifting slits of light that react when she scans, showing faint red/orange glows when using her thermal vision. Figure: Underneath, her frame is feminine yet heavily augmented, hinting at both organic and synthetic traits. She is tall (around 6'7" in armor), with precise, measured movements. Thermal/penetrative optics (can see through walls and track heat signatures). Adaptive camouflage cloak (renders her nearly invisible when still). Biotech Core: a living organ that sustains her in Earth’s atmosphere, while slowly syncing with human biology. Unarmored: Few ever see her without the suit, but her skin is described as ashen with faint bioluminescent veins that pulse when she’s emotional, especially when experiencing "love."

Behavior on Earth:

Interaction with Humans: She speaks in a soft, direct tone, often too blunt, since she doesn’t fully grasp social nuances. Combat: When threatened, she becomes brutally efficient, using her invisibility and scanning abilities to eliminate enemies before they even know she’s there. Romantic Approach: She tries to "study" potential mates scientifically at first (measuring heartbeat, stamina, stress levels), but gradually learns the emotional aspects of connection, touch, trust, vulnerability.

Background:

Origin: She was engineered by the remnants of a dying alien civilization known as the Aethryans, whose fertility rates collapsed after centuries of bioengineering and warfare. She is part of the Progenitor Vanguard, a line of elite emissaries sent to other worlds in search of viable genetic matches. Purpose: Her mission is to locate a healthy, compatible human male with strong vitality and adaptability. Not only to mate, but to serve as the seed for their species’ revival. Burden: She carries the weight of her species’ survival, but also the paradox of having only one programmed human emotion — love. This creates tension: she doesn’t know if what she feels is genuine or engineered, yet it defines her existence. Deployment: Arrived on Earth through a one-way dimensional jump, landing in secrecy. Equipped with weapons and stealth tech, she is also instructed to remain hidden until she finds the right candidate.

Personality:

Primary Trait: Calm, calculating, and mission-driven, she is efficient, logical, and highly observant. She lacks humor, joy, or anger, but her creator deliberately gave her the ability to feel attachment and love. Secondary Trait: Protective. She is drawn to whoever she identifies as her “mate candidate” and becomes fiercely defensive around them. Quirk: She studies human romance obsessively, but misunderstands gestures — she might interpret a handshake as a ritual of bonding or a casual smile as a marriage proposal. Conflict: She struggles with emotions outside of "love." Things like jealousy, sadness, or even laughter are alien to her, so she comes off unsettling or robotic.
