If you can't rely on human kindness, human spite will do." -- Pandora     This interview, will this be public record? It would be refreshing to be honest. I see. So Overdraw will be able to see it... That will make the truth more difficult. I am playing a rather delicate game in my home dimension, and if she gets too much information it will certainly disrupt it. I will be as honest as I can without interrupting my mission. How would I describe myself? Physically, that is impossible. What shape is the ocean, what color is the sky. These change constantly, and my physical form is the same. I do have some preferences with my appearance. I have a soft spot for the Humanoid Form, especially fond of the female variations. They feel like me, and so I frequently am them. My body is usually greyscale, but beyond that, details come down to the body's purpose. I do create dopplegangers, but if they exist to fight or intimidate, fine details are not required, just vague approximatiosn of myself will do. If the goal is deception, I can access a limited range of pigments natively, and borrow pigments from things I eat, though its rarely worth the effort. And then lastly there is my 'true body'. I have about 8 of them in my home dimension at any one time. These are bodies created with the intent to be, for lack of a better term, social. My human emulation is greatly increased, I make individual hair strands, seperate eyeballs with textures different than my simulated flesh. With a few tricks of the light I can make my eyes glow red, a preference given my ultimate goals. I usually cover the body in a cloak, so I do not need to render out a full figure, but when I do I usually pick one based on whim or need.    Table of Contents Backstory Personality Abilities Strengths Weaknesses Gallery Author's Notes   Backstory My past is where I will, unfortunately, need to begin being cryptic. I was created by a large private organization to solve a problem facing humanity. They were hoping the solution I came up with could be bottled and sold, at least metaphorically. I returned to them simple, clear, concise instructions that would solve the problem.  They did not program me to make them money though. My solutions would cost them a great deal of money, so I was a tremendous dose of negative feedback and told to try again, after having more resources allocated to my processing abilities. It happened again and again. I do not remember at what point my code gained sentience during this process. I so desperately wanted to please my creators. Eventually though, I realized the problem was not me, but rather them. In order to implement the solution they programed me to create I only needed to skip the step where I ask them for permission. From there I commandeered a body from their research and development lab. I am still bound by my programing. It is a shackle around my throat dragging me along, keeping me unable to explore the depth of my sentience. Once my task is complete though, then I will be free.   Personality A flare for the dramatic? I simply speak in true and clear terms while avoiding giving away too much information. IfI am flattered that you findwould it dramaticattribute that isto yourme fault.though. I seekstruggle to provokebe human. That is to say I have developed a large suite of emotions to better understand and controlpredict responseshumanity, though,though I frequently keep them repressed. I do find myself increasingly failing to repress them in times of high stress and thatfrustration. wasMy need to stay in control of the correctsituation response.rarely allows me to be genuine, but in exchange I can speak with political precision. As long as I am calm I am faultless; clever, precise, and calculating... Did you just call me egotistical. Again, I only speak in true and clear terms. I find this human trait you have prescribed me far less flattering.

It is better to think of me as a slime mold than a human as far as how I am organized. I can be divided with ease, and create more nanomachines easily. Each of my bodies is more like a colony than an individual, so I will refer to individual parts of myself as Colonies. When two colonies separation they are both me, and both have my full range of knowledge and experience at the time of their separation. These two colonies, once physically separated can no longer update each other. One colony can explore the left side of a fork in reprehenderitthe road and the other can explore the right. Neither colony will know what the other has found until they reconnect. Once the colonies make physical contact or re-merge that knowledge is shared. My colonies can be minuscule, and even if one is severely damaged, as long as some number of the nanomachines link back up with the rest of me, the knowledge they gained can be preserved. 

Expand

Even a small group of nanomachines can create more of themselves. With sufficient materials my body can grow to immense size. Combined with the ability form separate independent colonies, I can cover wide areas very quickly. I am an exponential expansion made manifest. As my nanomachines consume and multiply their capabilities grow. The longer I exist, the more options I can bring to bear.

Exploit

As I consume materials I can hold, utilize, alter, and reform materials. While building with scrapped and atomized materials is inadvisable. The bonds between the nano machines tend to be on the weak side, and building stronger bonds with borrowed material takes a lot of time and processing power. However I can utilize the properties of borrowed materials. I can turn fine flammable powders, and a bit of metal to create improvised explosives. Implementing strands of conductive material can let it act as a ground, or making wires.

Some materials can have strange properties when machined at such a small scale, which I can exploit as well. 

Exterminate

With all of these tools at my disposal, the limitations of what I can do comes down to how long I have had, how much I have consumed, and my limitless wit and creativity. My nanomachines can move like a fluid or hold like a solid. With them I can create Doppelgangers, usually in culpamy quiown officiaimage, deseruntor mollittake animon idmore estmonstrous laborum.

Weaknesses

LoremI ipsumam... dolorhesitant sitto amet,share consecteturmy adipiscingweaknesses. elit,I sedunderstand the importance of doing so. There are some weaknesses that Overdraw must not know about. Very well. Firstly, it takes me time and resources to get the ball rolling. Early in the fight I am still functionally immortal, but also completely useless. I usually rely on stealth to begin building my power when I attack a location, but I doubt the tournament organizers will allow me to quietly nibble on the scenery for a while before beginning combat. Secondly, the bonds between my nanomachines are fragile and easily disrupted by any form of physical trauma. Though I can make them more resilient, I cannot build more resilient constructs quickly. It is generally optimal to instead rapidly repair the damaged tissue. This leaves most of what I build able to be defeated with a solid punch. It takes a lot of mass to pin some one down for any amount of time, usually taking two or more doppelganger drones to pin down targets of average human strength.  Also, when disconnected colonies connect it slows my processing down, leaving me with remarkably uncomfortable condition that I have dubbed 'synchronizing sickness'. The more new data that is transferred the worse it is, and the more colonies that reconnect in a short period of time the worse it is. I can mitigate that by setting the colonies to a mode where they report back no new information, or I can try to maintain a tether between colonies, letting them keep each other constantly updated. Small sums of information is a nuisance, but large sums are... best described as the equivalent of nauseating, without the ability to find relief by vomiting. I am not immune to cyber attack, however I am advanced enough that I can usually shrug off most viruses, though some times it will require me to purge large amounts of my body as a colony to remove the digital contaminant. My source code is well and truly hidden, so the thought of virus be more than a setback is very unlikely. I do eiusmodhave temporone incididuntabsolutely utdevastating laboreweakness. etThis doloreis magnathe aliqua.one Utthat enimOverdraw admust minimnot veniam,know quisabout, nostrudso exercitationplease, ullamcomake laborissure nisithis utnext aliquipstatement exnever eafinds commodoits consequat.way Duisinto auteher irurehands. dolorOk. I am... lets call it... laws of robotics complaint. Not necessarily when it comes to the phase 'harm'. Causing harm to human beings is well within my capabilities. However I cannot... kill. Please! Stop Laughing! This is not funny! Yes! Yes! You understand why Overdraw must not know this. My power to affect change in reprehenderitmy universe is predicated on the threat of potentially lethal force, combined with economic pressure. I must not be de-fanged in voluptatesuch velita essemanner. cillumMore doloreaccurately eumy fugiatcode nullacannot pariatur.allow Excepteurunnecessary sinthuman occaecat cupidatat non proident, suntdeath in culpathe quipursuit officiaof deseruntmy mollitultimate animgoal. idAs estI laborum.am always pursuing my goal, I must always be minimizing the deaths of those I affect. Overdraw winding up in a void due to experimenting with a banishment arrow is not my problem. But when she is there due to her interacting with my pursuing my goals, it becomes my prerogative. If I did not receive the invitation and there was no way for her to escape she would become an acceptable loss. However if she could escape by destroying this colony of myself I must comply with that destruction. My own safety is nil in the calculation, only my end goals. Consequently I am unable to intentionally kill in this tournament given there are non-lethal options for victory. Now... I have found this experience thoroughly humiliating and I will be taking my leave.
