Dorothy Deucalion

Dorothy Deucalion was born on Mars in 2080 AD, only a few months after the Blight had destroyed the last citadels of civilization on Earth. She was born a mutant due to the blight, albeit her mutation is not outwardly apparent.

Dorothy's parents were transportation engineers that helped create some of the space ships needed for the mass exodus of humanity to Mars. From an early age she was groomed to follow in her parents foot steps. She completed her undergraduate studies at the Martian Academy at the age of fourteen, and at the age of eighteen was granted a Doctorate in Robotics. Almost immediately afterward she accepted a position in the Robotics Institute as a researcher specializing in non-humanoid robots, specifically in those designed for space travel.

Her intelligence is largely in due to her mutation, which allows her to transfer large amounts of data, 'spirit' as she refers to it, between herself and willing targets. She was born with full access to her mother's memories. Dorothy was fortunate that her parents background allowed them to hide her abilities from others and to give her the training needed to exploit them to their fullest. Without proper guidance she could have easily found herself a troubled child.

Even with her training however she faced an early crisis in trying to establish a distinct personality for herself. As she had been born with her mother's memories she was several decades older mentally than her physical body's age. She did not socialize with others her age well as a child. She fought with her mother constantly over affection from her father, with whom she suffered an Oedipus complex over early on. Her rebellious streak peaked when she reached physical maturity at the fourteen and gave birth to a baby girl a few months afterward in 2095 AD. Dorothy's parents briefly attempted to raise the baby as their own, but Dorothy refused to play along as she saw her daughter as a sign that she was an adult. This caused a feud between her and her parents, but they have since reconciled.

Dorothy had initially planned to raise her daughter as an only mother but to her great surprise the father, a childhood play mate, insisted on being there to support her. She admits that she choose him purely on aesthetic appeal, but she has since come to love him. They got married weeks before the birth of their child. He is a stay in home father.  

  
She shares a friendly relationship with the Robotics Institute's Susan Kroptokin; the latter was her adviser during her doctorate studies. To Dorothy's dislike Susan refers to her as "Double D" and treats her as a child. Having been born in Mars and never knowing Earth, Dorothy does not share her employer's hatred for aliens. She does however share a passion for robotics and for encouraging exploration of space.  


Dorothy spends most of her free time caring for her daughter, Diana, who has just turned four. Dorothy suspects that her daughter inherited her mental mutation, but has been unable to prove it conclusively yet. At minimum she knows that Diana did not inherit any memories from her.

Main:

Transportation Roboticist:



Level One: Able of creating space ships capable of intra-galactic travel. Her space ships are non-humanoid robots with artificial intelligence. This is crucial as the complex computations necessary for space travel are beyond the capabilities of most lifeforms. 



Secondary:

Spirit Wave:



Level One: Dorothy is capable of transferring a portion of her 'spirit', a collection of data that forms her personality and memories, into other beings. Vice versa, she is capable of gathering a portion of others' spirit into herself. This is a delicate procedure that requires the other individual to either be consenting or unconscious and direct physical contact. At this level the spirit wave is, for practical purposes, simply a method that allows Dorothy to share memories with others.


Level Two: [LOCKED] Dorothy has the same abilities as in level one, however she no longer requires direct physical contact with her target. Nor is she constrained by spatial proximity. Her target must however still be willing.

Level Three: [LOCKED] Dorothy is capable of transferring her entire spirit into another willing being, as opposed to simply a portion. Her initial body is brain dead until she returns her spirit. She is only able to do this with her own spirit.
