Aoki 'Bones' Morishima

Aoki 'Bones' Morishima is a fan-character created by Handepsilon. She's a secondary main character in 'Chaos Theory' character roster. Bones is a sorceress apprentice with high potency of magic, aside from being a scientific creation. She currently studies as sorceress in Soleannan Arcane Academy
==Appearance ==
Bones is an orange echidna with a pair of gray eyes which glows red, making it look like blood red eyes. She has bandages on her left locks and skeletal limbs on her left side, aside from specific occasions. Bones likes to wear a black red-detailed gothic Lolita dress with black headband and boots, as well as long-sleeved fingerless gloves. She can change her attires to 2 other variations at will using magic. The first one is a her original attire : red hoodie jacket without sleeves and ragged leather pants. The second one is a variant of her gothic Lolita coupled with her academy mantle which she often uses as her Shadoweaver 'Magical Girl' outfit
==Personality==
Despite her dark and gothic look and her equally dark powers, Bones is a lighthearted little kid with cheerful attitude. If Levinski is fascinated with scientific studies, Bones is interested in magic and its' exploits, even the dangerous ones such as necromancy. 
She's usually not violent at all, but if driven to rage for whatever reason, she would become emotionally unstable and would not hesitate to kill people without remorse, even afterwards. The thing that she picked up from Levinski is determination. Despite not as strong as the latter, she is still more stubborn than most people.
If her soul becomes damaged due to use of necromancy, she will lose any capabilities to emote or feel. This can turn her completely ruthless and uncaring.
While not being a vampire, Sunlight seems to annoy her a lot and as of recently she starts to develop weakness against it. She also hated people who treated her as being helpless.
==Backstory==
===Conception ===
After the security breach caused by Levinski exposed much of their true motives to GUN, MoboGenesis decided to accelerate Project Artificialis despite its' relative infancy. However, their early attempts only managed to produce stillborn and/or short-lived results.
The Soleannan branch eventually managed to make a breakthrough, using samples gathered from a pair of nameless graves in Mystica. Unconfirmed rumors spoke of strange curses that plagued the personnels responsible for gathering the samples, and that none of them made it to the end. Despite that, the branch managed to birth the first Artificialis Mobian, an echidna female they code-named 'Beta-1', shortened as 'B-1'.
Due to the artificially-accelerated growth applied during the infancy, B-1 was born as a 5 years old, 14 years younger than the initial plan. However, this made the specimen easier to manage.
They discovered that B-1 possesses strong affinity to darkness element, so much that her initially gray eyes turned red shortly after her first awakening. Even in her infancy, the speciment was able to conjure energy apparations and move them around with ease. For MoboGenesis scientists involved in the branch, it was a massive breakthrough. Their initial goal was to first create a sapient and living Artificialis before imbuing them with supernatural abilities, yet their first success managed to achieve both.
Unfortunately, the success came with an unpredicted caveat. Shortly after B-1's little demonstration of power, her body composition started to grow unstable. Particularly her left limbs started to wither gradually. Just as the scientists were lamenting on yet another failure, the child itself provided the solution on her own. To their surprise, amazement, and horror, B-1 was able to siphon life energy from any living being that she was touching. This restored her vitality anew, at the cost of said living being's own.
===Capture by GUN===
At first, the scientists were able to 'feed' her with plants and animals, but eventually the gathering process became too taxing for them to be able to advance their research, particularly to figure out why it was happening and stop the dependency in the first place. B-1 was thankfully quite nocturnal, which allowed them to let her loose at night when the streets were quiet. The scientists decided that she was to only be supervised from afar to minimize chances for people to be able to track them through her.
Unfortunately, they neglected to tell her to spare the local citizens from her siphoning sessions, and thus B-1 ended up killing no less than 4 people each night when they let her loose. The group became conflicted as while the killings were definitely compromising both their moral judgements and the project's secrecy, the sessions did manage to sate her 'hunger' for quite a long time for the scientists to advance unhindered. Thus B-1 was never informed about the gravity of the deed she had committed.
This came to a head as B-1 eventually crossed with an expedition team from the 56th Regiment who was investigating the murder streak she had done. Despite considerable resistance, they managed to apprehend B-1 and brought her to the GUN branch outpost in Mystica. Discovering her biological drawbacks, the team brought her to Levinski for safe-keeping.
Using sufficient samples of Chaos Drives, Levinski was able to stabilize her condition to the point where she was able to survive a week without siphoning from anyone. This allowed the two to bond together. For all the power B-1 had, her innocence as a kid was apparent, and it surprised Levinski when he discovered that she was in fact, not a natural product of life, as her demeanor was almost indistinguishable otherwise.
B-1 also discovered the details of the situation that got her arrested in the first place. This changed her demeanor to be more reserved and nervous around people other than Levinski. Even more, she became averse to siphon from anything once the situation required her to do so once again. The analysis from her physical conditions proved to be vague, preventing Levinski to find the solution to fix her condition permanently.
=== Into the Rabbit Hole===
After some convincing, B-1 agreed to lead Levinski back to the lab she was created in. To keep B-1 comfortable, Levinski decided to go alone with her. He was surprised to discover the involvement of MoboGenesis in her creation, to the point where he started doubting B-1's allegiance. B-1, on the other hand, was also surprised that Levinski was involved with the group in the first place, and was starting to question the genuinity of his motives.
This led to Levinski being captured by the MoboGenesis personnels. It turned out that they were waiting for B-1 to lead Levinski into the laboratory where they can recapture them both. The two also discovered the unexpected truth : Levinski was the first official Artificialis to ever be successfully created, and that his supposed foster father was his creator.
The MoboGenesis personnels acquired Levinski's DNA sample as the missing key of their project and left both him and B-1 to die in the now collapsing laboratory. B-1 lamented on what happened as Levinski, who was badly injured in the brawl, tried to comfort her, urging her to leave as fast as she could and return to the GUN outpost to warn the others.
It was then that they discovered that B-1 was also capable of transferring her own life energy to others. Despite Levinski's protests, B-1 proceeded to heal his injuries to the point where her withering reached near-critical point, sending her to comatose state. The young fox quickly carried her back out of the place, successfully retrieving part of MoboGenesis' project reports in the process.
===Recovery===
With the combined research from both Levinski's report and MoboGenesis' own analysis, B-1's condition was stabilized and improved. Her biological composition was altered to slow down the withering, albeit not fully halted. With the improvements, she was able to survive even with her left limbs already turning skeletal by the time Levinski was done, even better, she can still move them around as if they were fine. This eventually coined her the nickname 'Bones' to the others, which she embraced wholeheartedly.
Bones stayed alongside Levinski in his apartment in Station Square for awhile, the two starting to become as close as siblings as time went on. Back in the city, she also made new and close friends, namely a demon kid named Kiki; the 56th Regiment's half-demon sniper, Severance; and lastly the psychic little sister of Frost, Nightmare. The three of them shared similar strong affinity to darkness as she did.
Eventually, Levinski felt that he was unable to provide for Bones due to his own matters, and Bones' power and her enthusiasm of it only became stronger as time went on. It was feared that she would grow consumed by it, especially since both of them was never able to find the definite answer to her medical condition. Thus he traced her genetics to find the closest match to her. Peculiarly, he managed to only find a pair, originating from a secluded pair of twin siblings living in the city's outskirts.
Thus they departed in search for the twins. Levinski assured Bones that she was always welcome to visit, and that he'd always consider her part of his family. Bones also promised to do the same for him before the two separated.
===The Morishima Siblings===
Bones was at first apprehensive with the idea of living with strangers, despite the chance of them being biologically related. She was mildly freaked out to find that the residence the twins were in were filled with what they would call their 'servants'. She discovered shortly that the siblings were a pair of necromancers. The girl among the two, Rima, relied on dolls as the vessel of the soul, while the boy, Kaito, raised the dead straight from their corpses. 
Despite the initially horrifying experience, Bones attempted to bond with the two, and to her relief, the two returned in kind despite their overall cold demeanor. Among the twins, Bones grew fonder with Rima. As a welcome gift, Bones was gifted her old dresses, which the kid accepted with joy. The girl then asked Rima about the dark powers the former had, prompting the latter to begin testing it on several old constructs. With the demonstration done, Rima concluded that Bones also possessed the potency for magic as the two did, and began teaching her the basics so that she can control her powers better.
As time passed, Bones began experiencing visions of someone calling a name, a name that wasn't familiar to her. This prompted her to ask Rima about it. The older girl then began explaining both her and her twin's backstory. To her surprise, she discovered that the twins were actually already several hundred years old, as they had actually died a long time ago along with their parents in a civilian riot back in Soleanna, with only Kaito's own latent power being able to raise the two back from the dead to take vengeance upon the city. Bones was initially shaken, but she then quickly rationalized that things were different by then and that the twins were no longer the monsters they were before.
Bones then revealed the details of her origins and the two nameless gravestones where her DNA source was spliced from, questioning if it was possible that they were indeed related at all. It was decided, however, that the short time they shared together so far was enough for Bones to be considered the twins' last sibling. To that end, Bones decided to take the name from her vision as her own, dubbing herself 'Aoki Morishima'. It was only a short moment later that she realized it was the name of their late mother, but Rima decided that it was alright for Bones to take the name
===The First Servant ===
Despite the magic studies, both Rima and Kaito never revealed to Bones the secrets of their necromantic powers directly. To that end, she secretly whisked one of her sister's personal books to study it. At that point of time, Bones had managed to master the basic understanding to be able to comprehend the contents, but reading them gave her the sense of dread. Not for long, Rima had found out and took the book away from her, reprimanding her of her actions.
A few days afterwards during Bones' walk in the forest's edge, she discovered a dying hedgehog girl lying on the ground. The wounds were too severe for Bones to heal. It was then that she discovered that not only was she able to grasp on the girl's life energy, but her very soul as well. Concluding that the body was already too broken to be fixed before the girl died, Bones decided to pull the girl's soul out for safe-keeping, promising that she'd find a way to keep her persisting until she can somehow fix the body.
As Bones went to carry the girl's body and soul back to her room, she started to experience pain and strange sensations. Her body started to grow cold, and her emotional sense started to disappear. She tried to dismiss them as she rushed to her sister's room, finding it empty except for Rima's doll servants. In a rush, Bones grabbed her sister's kit and started to craft a doll in the likeness of the dying girl. Using the spells she had memorized from her sister's book, she then bound the soul to the doll. She succeeded, but the sensations only grew worse as time went on, to the point where Bones was unable to express the joy of her success.
Rima then came shortly after. She immediately used her magic to recover her sister. It was revealed that the magic that Bones' used had cracked her still-developing soul, causing it to temporarily detach itself from her own body. Rima had her sister vow to never pull off what she did ever again until the former deemed the latter ready. The newly animated doll, introducing herself as 'Sophia', declared Bones as her mistress. The spell had bound her soul in Bones' servitude until she was released.

==Powers and Abilities==
Bones relies on her dark energy manipulation and magic heavily in combat. Her signature attacks involve energy projectile barrages and shield, coupled and/or combined with spells being stored beforehand in one of her spell books or cast with longer process. Her personal specialty, however, is the ability to absorb life energy. This power is essential to replenish her ever-decaying body.
She's also capable of necromancy to some degree. She's able to transfer or absorb souls of dead person and stitch them into their respective vessels. However, abilties to manipulate souls would damage her own soul, temporarily loosening its' bond from her own body and thus caused it to stop working in the duration. Most damage would usually lie on her emotional capabilities, and afterwards the weakening of her body. For this reason, she has only done this once in her lifetime
Bones also knows how to use present-day technology, and even has Extreme Gear of her own, a small-sized orange/white Bike gear called Twinblade.
