### Debut

"Antediluvians' Legacy"

**Akane (also known as Akane Kobayashi and Lucia)** was a False Human and a living remnant of the Unity. She was found in stasis by the Derwent Group within the Antediluvian "museum" of Voice-of-Living-Star on Verde, alongside ISHAC "Servatrix". She used to have no memories of her past, existing in a child-like state both mentally and physically. After a shock taken, while the Derwent group fought through the Wetlands, some sort of biological trigger was activated, forcing her to rapidly mature into an adult form, with all memories of her original being intact, up to her cloning. After arriving back on Earth, she was captured by the New Unity of Kadarys' Second Children, alongside Evan Derwent and Luther Redgaze, and experimented upon until getting rescued by Adaleth Makela and the Doubters. She assisted the Doubters with technical matters and helmed the "Latenivenatrix", on its journey to the other side of the Moon, where she met her grisly death at the hands of the Moonshadow.

## Appearance

Akane was a humanoid, possessing the distinct features of elves, or True Humans, such as silky smooth skin, perfectly symmetrical proportions and unnaturally coloured hair and eyes. Her body was lean and androgynous, with a slim waist and no chest. Her face was oval and flat, with a small nose and full lips, her large eyes and hair a distinct shade of pinkish red.

Initially, she was found naked, and so she wore some of Adaleth's casual clothes. Later on she adopted the slim black uniform of the Doubters as her main attire.

## Personality

It is unknown what personality the original Akane had, but the False Human one was a very serious and nonchalant person, with a very to-the-point approach of talking. Her vocabulary was rich, formal and technical, bordering downright robotic at times, and she's prone on turning dialogues into long and detailed lecture-style monologues.

She was however shown to be deeply compassionate about humanity, believing in its cultural and technological progress and viewing it as something positive to strive towards. That's not to say she was delusional - Akane had a very sober and realistic approach to looking at things, for example scolding Luther's approach to providing technological advancements (such as electrical energy) to a civilization that is not yet ready to use them with restraint or for peaceful purposes.

She eventually "gained a soul" - a process not explained - which allowed her pass on peacefully in the afterlife.

## Powers and Abilities

Akane had mysterious magical powers that work against the established logic of what the Reflection can bestow upon a person. She was also very apt at utilizing and developing conventional technology , as well as extremely knowledgeable about the basics of developing a civilization.

### True Magic

Akane being a purer strain of True Human than contemporary elves was able to utilize the Reflection as a natural extension of her being, letting her perform feats of magic inaccessible to any wizard or cleric, such as using no invocational intonations and gestures, seemingly making spells spring forth at her gaze. She was not seen using her power much, but when she did it could be used to rend flesh, rejoin wounds and probe and dominate the minds of others.

### False Human-ken

Akane was a living repository for knowledge, being able to reproduce perfectly, what others may need consultation to remember. Alongside her immense pre-recorded knowledge, mostly focused on biotechnology, Unity history and medicine she was able to also easily and incredibly rapidly consume and learn to utilize new knowledge, such as when she taught herself to perform HAC maintenance, and how to implement Zhinamir's computers and auto-factory to do it. It was made unclear, but implied that this is either an innate elven ability or that her semi-artificial nature was what allowed her to function as a living computer.

## History

### Before the events of the campaign

Little is known of Akane's past, if she even had one to begin with. Even less so of that of her original - a scientist from the Unity era who created multiple False Human copies of herself. The Akane known to Earth was discovered on Verde, within the "museum" of Voice-of-Living-Star, trapped in a life-supporting bubble. She was under some sort of developmental stasis - her taking the form and mind of a child.

### Death

During the final battle against Saego, Akane - piloting "Confatis" together with Jorga Tarx - succumbed to the influence of the Moonshadow and liquefied, her remains being used to spawn a creature within the HAC, which nearly killed Jorga as well.

Later, during the meeting with the souls of the ones deceased, Akane was seen there, where she expressed her gratitude to Adaleth, Luther and Evan for saving her and helping her become a person, after which passed on alongside all other victims of the Moonshadow affair.
