Neveu

Capucine Neveu (officially known as Doctor Neveu) is one of the scientists working for the Extermicorp company who is currently undergoing the P.E.S.T (Partly Electronic Slayer Transfer). Formerly just creating and studying the effects of different pesticides for vermin-extermination, they are now slowly mutilating themself into one of the “semi-robotic slayers” their superiors had created after a strange message from his boss.

The Slayers, described as a “modern mousetrap” by Extermicorp, are robotic creatures designed to hunt down and kill common pests like bugs and mice. The “semi-robotic” part was originally said to come from the fact that the Slayers were going to be able to be worn like a suit of armor and would allow the user to control the robot to their desire (“people don’t trust AI assistants to just run amok, they have to have some sort of control over them!”). However, this was a lie to hide the fact that they were actually cyborgs and were planned to be created by the employees using their own bodies.

Around a week after the idea was pitched (that was greeted with mostly negative responses from the scientists), Dr. Neveu received a phone-call from his boss which put them in a trance-like state. They were instructed to start performing the P.E.S.T by experimenting on himself and replacing their body-parts with robotic prosthetics. Of course, since hypnosis didn’t give Dr. Neveu the ability to become a master engineer (his main field was poison), their transfer wasn’t the best thing in the world and they had to be polished by one of the more skillful engineers back at the Extermicorp headquarters when they finished a part of their new body.

All other employees received the same phone-call and eventually the only normal people who remained in the company was the executives, all the rest had started the transfer.

Dr. Neveu’s transfer is not complete yet, however, as they are still finishing up their “tough-ups” and are awaiting code commands.

Of course, as you would expect, the Slayers are not intended to be used for pests and are part of Extermicorp’s plan to “fix” the world by exterminating anything living that causes a problem: animal, plant, human, you name it. In fact, the boss herself is mind-controlled by her own higher-ups, corrupted people with a twisted view of how they think the world should work who are too much of a coward to put their face on their dirty-work. All employees respond to her commands, while the boss responds to their commands.

Dr. Neveu (as well as the other Slayers) has their phone built-into their arm in order to constantly be able to receive commands and instructions from the boss as well as various needles and whatnot built into their body in order to deliver lethal doses of pesticide into their victims. Each Slayer also has a unique ability, Dr. Neveu’s is that they’re able to see through walls and the like to catch hiding “vermin” (x-ray vision essentially). Therefore, eyes are a major part of their design as they are able to “see all”.

They identify as genderfluid and uses he/they pronouns (while they do accept she/her pronouns, they aren’t preferred), however they prefer to leave their orientation unlabeled. Dr. Neveu is French and moved to the U.S when they were young, English is their second language although they have no problem speaking and reading it. Before he was brainwashed Dr. Neveu was a rather stressed-out individual who was a bit awkward around others, but meant well and tried her best to be respectful and polite to everyone they met.
