Her hair is relatively long, hanging down to roughly the middle of her back, and she lets it simply fall back along her shoulders rather than put it into a ponytail. Her eyes are a piercing green color, and they almost always reflect her vast intelligence in their depths. Her clothing is ornate and black; she wears large, baggy, black jeans, and her shirts are generally tighter and black. She wears three sets of earrings with two more in her left ear.</p><p></p><p><em>Description</em></p><p><em>Eyes</em> - Green</p><p><em>Hair</em> - Black with Green Highlights</p><p><em>Height</em> - 4' 7"</p><p><em>Weight</em> - 94 lbs.</p><p><em>Age</em> - 16</p><p></p><p><strong>Personality</strong></p><p>Kryptonite is a hacker, and her personality reflects it. She works dilligently on any task set before her, not allowing anything to go undone. She is unusually intense about her work, especially when it involves computers; however, she does have her bad days, and she can become depressed for weeks after she fails at something.</p><p></p><p>Kryptonite, however, also has a dark side. As a hacker, she generally doesn't do malicious things, such as destroy files. However, when angry, she is quite capable of wiping out entire networks in one sitting. In addition to her hacking skills, she is also a skilled programmer. Shyekara is unusually adept at writing virii, and does so for fun; she has written several that are her favorites, and she uses them against those who are particularly irritating.</p><p></p><p>Kryptonite is generally a nice enough person. However, getting on her wrong side is often a dangerous move; she doesn't react right away, and still tries to be nice in person, but once out of sight, she begins planning the offender's downfall.</p><p></p><p><strong>Background</strong></p><p>Hacker. When people hear and come to understand what it is that Kryptonite does, this is what they think. But she goes far beyond that...</p><p></p><p>Her life began in a well-off home. Her parents were well-educated and generally more wealthy than the average family. They believed in giving their child access to all information, and so she began learning...</p><p></p><p>Computers became her focus. Shyekara was madly in love with computers. They were amazing, the things they could do... she was in complete control. She tinkered with them day and night, learning how to use them, then how to take them apart... then how to build them... then how to program them...</p><p></p><p>However, she soon became disillusioned with her own computer. She began hacking away, clumsily, at the network her parents had assembled in their home. Having mutilated that, and been scolded by her parents, she learned from her mistakes... she learned how to be more covert, how to cover her actions and hide her trails.</p><p></p><p>Once again, however, she became disillusioned. On the 'net, there were thousands of other computers... why shouldn't she have access to them? Slowly, much slowly than before, she began chipping away at the mysteries the internet provided. She began to understand more, and began to apply principles she learned from hacking her home network to hacking the networks of others. It was difficult, and she had several close calls... during this time, she found many interesting things. She learned of how a few companies were slowly developing technological teleportation, and she took these ideas and codified them in her programs, constructing devices that allowed her to make her code take physical shape in the real world, a process so bizarre that she didn't even fully understand it.</p><p></p><p>And then she was caught.</p><p></p><p>In the United States, Shyekara was a criminal now, having committed at least seven dozen known acts of hacking. But not just in the states, no - she had hacked networks in other nations, as well, from all over the globe. She was in very, very deep. She didn't understand all of what was happening, but she understood one thing - she was going to prison. For life.</p><p></p><p>Her parents disowned her. Their final act, they wanted to insure their good name by removing themselves from her. And so she faced her sentence alone, with no one but a lawyer to support her - but her guilt was assured, and he was no help. Having lost her last name when her parents disowned her, she chose a new one, one that was completely different from her original family name. </p><p></p><p>But then, something interesting happened. Despite all of the charges against her, there appeared a glimmer of hope. An official from a distant school appeared, and talked to Shyekara - no, not Shyekara, she was Kryptonite now, the name she had given herself on the 'net - and told her of a school where she would be protected. A school where she could hone her talents, safe and protected from the eyes of the government. To this nation, she would simply disappear.</p><p></p><p>Kryptonite accepted the offer.</p><p></p><p>Quickly, quietly, and secretly, she was moved from the US to Sanzaku, Japan, and began taking classes at the Detchitoyo Highschool. Little did she know, however, that this meeting had been arranged by the very people who were prosecuting her, desiring instead to allow her to develop her skills and see where she wound up in her studies. They would intervene once she finished her schooling, but for now, they simply backed away, letting her be.</p><p></p><p>But why was she classified as 'talented'? Kryptonite had heard rumors of the kinds of students who went to this school; the school official had told her of the difference between the normal students and the 'talented' ones. Perhaps it was her ability to work with machinery? Perhaps it was the fact that she had invented the code translational gear, and could blur the lines between the world of the bit and baud and the real realm? Or, perhaps, and this she feared most of all... perhaps there was some talent, hidden deep within, that she hadn't found yet, something that would one day leap out unbidden, that would truly set her apart. For now, however, Kryptonite believes that it is merely her completely natural superior intellect that has caused her to be placed where she is going... but she is smart enough to know, deep inside, that there is more going on than meets her eye...</p><p></p><p><strong>Explanation of 'Pet Monsters'</strong></p><p>Kryptonite came close to perfecting an unusual eletronic device that is based off of several technologies. This device allows her to transfer a program from code into an actual creature, capable of things similar to what it accomplishes in the world of the bit and the baud. Generally, Kryptonite has only used this device to transfer her virii from code to physical creature; however, it is probable that it could be used to transfer virtually any program. The exact technology is difficult to explain, and Kryptonite - its inventor - doesn't even fully understand the process herself, having come across this system more or less by accident. However, this system is not without a weakness: while the virii are present in the physical world, their data is stored on the device used to create them, and as the virii are beaten by the physical world, the data they consist of is gradually corrupted; a dead virus' code is completely and utterly corrupt and unsalvageable, and Kryptonite must write it from scratch. Before they are 'dead', however, the virii can be transferred back into code form, and Shyekara can take the time to go through the code and repair it. The equipment Kryptonite uses is referred to as 'Code Translational Gear'.</p><p></p><p>[code][color=white][b]Virus[/b]</p><p>[b]Name:[/b] Lucifer Hawk</p><p>[b]Class:[/b] Adventurer</p><p>[b]Race:[/b] Artificial Construct</p><p>[b]Gender:[/b] None</p><p>[b]Alignment:[/b] N</p><p></p><p>[b]Str:[/b] 12 +1 [b]Level:[/b] 1 [b]XP:[/b] 0</p><p>[b]Dex:[/b] 12 +1 [b]BAB:[/b] +0 [b]HP:[/b] 4 (1d4)</p><p>[b]Con:[/b] -- -- [b]Defense:[/b] +1 [b]EP:[/b] 1 (1d2-4)</p><p>[b]Int:[/b] 8 -1 [b]Speed:[/b] 30 ft. </p><p>[b]Wis:[/b] 4 -3 [b]Init:[/b] +5 </p><p>[b]Cha:[/b] 2 -4 [b]ACP:[/b] -0 </p><p></p><p> [b]Total Base Mod Misc</p><p>Fort:[/b] +0 0 -- </p><p>[b]Ref:[/b] +0 0 +0 </p><p>[b]Will:[/b] -3 0 -3 </p><p></p><p>[b]Languages:[/b] n/a</p><p></p><p>[b]Attributes[/b]</p><p>[i]Class Skills[/i]</p><p>All non-combat skills.</p><p></p><p>[b]Special Attack[/b] [5]</p><p>Electrostatic Discharge (5d8, Area, Short Range)</p><p></p><p>[b]Heightened Senses[/b] [2]</p><p>Type II: Electrical Current Detection, Magnetic Field Detection</p><p></p><p>[b]Feats:[/b] Improved Initiative</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>[b]Skills Total Ranks Mod Misc[/b]</p><p>Tumble +3 2 +1[/color][/code]</p><p></p><p><strong>Appearance</strong></p><p>Lucifer Hawk, when it takes shape in the physical realm, is an amorphous glob of metal, always surrounded - at least partially - by a globe of electrostatic energy.

It has the ability to sense electrical current, and to sabotage the processes that are making current flow - in the physical realm, this manifests itself as an electrostatic discharge.</p><p></p><p><strong>Background</strong></p><p>Kryptonite designed Lucifer Hawk as an exercise in learning how to hit an opponent where it counted. Generally, processes that caused a change in the flow of power were indicative of devices, internal or external; Kryptonite would eliminate the ability to use these peripherals by using the Lucifer Hawk to cancel the processes making use of them.</p><p></p><p>[code][color=white][b]Virus[/b]</p><p>[b]Name:[/b] Willbender</p><p>[b]Class:[/b] Adventurer</p><p>[b]Race:[/b] Artificial Construct</p><p>[b]Gender:[/b] None</p><p>[b]Alignment:[/b] N</p><p></p><p>[b]Str:[/b] 4 -4 [b]Level:[/b] 1 [b]XP:[/b] 0</p><p>[b]Dex:[/b] 16 +3 [b]BAB:[/b] +0 [b]HP:[/b] 4 (1d4)</p><p>[b]Con:[/b] -- -- [b]Defense:[/b] +3 [b]EP:[/b] 1 (1d2-3)</p><p>[b]Int:[/b] 14 +2 [b]Speed:[/b] 30 ft. </p><p>[b]Wis:[/b] 4 -3 [b]Init:[/b] +7 </p><p>[b]Cha:[/b] 4 -3 [b]ACP:[/b] -0 </p><p></p><p> [b]Total Base Mod Misc</p><p>Fort:[/b] +0 0 -- </p><p>[b]Ref:[/b] +2 0 +2 </p><p>[b]Will:[/b] -3 0 -3 </p><p></p><p>[b]Languages:[/b] n/a</p><p></p><p>[b]Attributes[/b]</p><p>[i]Class Skills[/i]</p><p>All non-combat skills.</p><p></p><p>[b]Force Field[/b] [5]</p><p>Blocks 30 points of damage.

It is generally encircled by a sphere of prismatic energy.</p><p></p><p><strong>Personality</strong></p><p>The Willbender is a more defensive virus, designed to protect a network from hacking. However, should an offender attempt to penetrate the network it is on, the willbender will instead send out a small packet of destruction to the sender, while denying access to the intruder.</p><p></p><p>Willbender is a two-way virus, designed to defend and attack at the same time, though it will only attack when provoked.</p><p></p><p><strong>Background</strong></p><p>Kryptonite designed Willbender after being burned by a few hackers who destroyed her work. Willbender was the result of study into chess-playing artificial intelligences; willbender was designed with the same concept in mind, able to pick through a situation and find the best possible way to cope with it.</p><p></p><p>[code][color=white][b]Virus[/b]</p><p>[b]Name:[/b] Doorkeeper</p><p>[b]Class:[/b] Adventurer</p><p>[b]Race:[/b] Artificial Construct</p><p>[b]Gender:[/b] None</p><p>[b]Alignment:[/b] N</p><p></p><p>[b]Str:[/b] 18 +4 [b]Level:[/b] 1 [b]XP:[/b] 0</p><p>[b]Dex:[/b] 14 +2 [b]BAB:[/b] +0 [b]HP:[/b] 4 (1d4)</p><p>[b]Con:[/b] -- -- [b]Defense:[/b] +3 [b]EP:[/b] 1 (1d2-3)</p><p>[b]Int:[/b] 14 +2 [b]Speed:[/b] 30 ft. </p><p>[b]Wis:[/b] 4 -3 [b]Init:[/b] +6 </p><p>[b]Cha:[/b] 4 -3 [b]ACP:[/b] -0 </p><p></p><p> [b]Total Base Mod Misc</p><p>Fort:[/b] +0 0 -- </p><p>[b]Ref:[/b] +2 0 +2 </p><p>[b]Will:[/b] -3 0 -3 </p><p></p><p>[b]Languages:[/b] n/a</p><p></p><p>[b]Attributes[/b]</p><p>[i]Class Skills[/i]</p><p>All non-combat skills.</p><p></p><p>[b]Invisibility[/b] [3]</p><p>Sight, Hearing, Radar.</p><p></p><p>[b]Massive Damage[/b] [2]</p><p>Bite attack.</p><p></p><p>[b]Feats:[/b] Improved Initiative[/color][/code]</p><p></p><p><strong>Appearance</strong></p><p>The Doorkeeper appears as a mechanical tiger-like creature with jaws of steel.

However, this system is not without a weakness: while the virii are present in the physical world, their data is stored on the device used to create them, and as the virii are beaten by the physical world, the data they consist of is gradually corrupted; a dead virus' code is completely and utterly corrupt and unsalvageable, and Kryptonite must write it from scratch. Before they are 'dead', however, the virii can be transferred back into code form, and Shyekara can take the time to go through the code and repair it. The equipment Kryptonite uses is referred to as 'Code Translational Gear'.

It has no legs, and instead rolls everywhere that it is commanded to go, as it is vaguely spherical in shape. [b]Personality[/b] The purpose of Lucifer Hawk as a virus is to watch over the flow of power in a machine, then to destroy the processes that cause the most current, based upon Kryptonite's commands. Lucifer Hawk is designed as a highly offensive and destructive virus, with little other capabilities. It has the ability to sense electrical current, and to sabotage the processes that are making current flow - in the physical realm, this manifests itself as an electrostatic discharge. [b]Background[/b] Kryptonite designed Lucifer Hawk as an exercise in learning how to hit an opponent where it counted. Generally, processes that caused a change in the flow of power were indicative of devices, internal or external; Kryptonite would eliminate the ability to use these peripherals by using the Lucifer Hawk to cancel the processes making use of them.

[b]Feats:[/b] Improved Initiative[/color][/code] [b]Appearance[/b] The Willbender takes shape in the physical realm as a small, greyish device, with a small dome-like top. It is generally encircled by a sphere of prismatic energy. [b]Personality[/b] The Willbender is a more defensive virus, designed to protect a network from hacking. However, should an offender attempt to penetrate the network it is on, the willbender will instead send out a small packet of destruction to the sender, while denying access to the intruder. Willbender is a two-way virus, designed to defend and attack at the same time, though it will only attack when provoked. [b]Background[/b] Kryptonite designed Willbender after being burned by a few hackers who destroyed her work. Willbender was the result of study into chess-playing artificial intelligences; willbender was designed with the same concept in mind, able to pick through a situation and find the best possible way to cope with it.

It is typically kept invisible by programming that makes it difficult to detect through standard methods. [b]Personality[/b] The Doorkeeper is a highly offensive virus that is designed to disguise itself just prior to viciously ripping its target to shreds. It thinks like a hunter, waiting for the perfect moment to destroy its target. [b]Background[/b] The Doorkeeper is the physical translation of the trojan Kryptonite wrote. [/QUOTE]
