Professor Kyba

```
Professor Kyba, is a personal meanace of the  Arcana Collegiate Institute.

```

## Appearance

Usually, Kyba preffers to appear as a 48 year old woman, with short-ish curly brown hair and faintly glowing bronze eyes with strange pupils that resemble a moving clock face. Wires stick out of her, especially around her wrists and neck, revealing the mechanical body she inhabits. Small screws and bolts can also be seen upon her. Her terrifyingly tall, and suprisingly beefy frame, is clad in a steampunk attire, namely a trenchcoat. She also wears a brown corset, white victorian shirt, and practical if oily leather trousers. She constantly looks like she was pulled out of the early 1900’s. She can often seen wearing a pair of copper lensed goggles, hiding her emotions rather well. Occasionally she can be seen wearing all black, and a gas mask, her hands covered by black rubber gloves. Creepy. She smells like old books, and motor oil.

However, she also have an alternate form, in which it appears as an ethereal being, like one of those rapidly generated faces from an AI. It’s face rapidly switches between many different ages, sexes, and races, looking simultaneously young as a child, and as old as time itself. Hourglass sand pours off of it's body, and the book it usually holds, unravels and flutters into flowing scrolls of every person's life, that documents the day they were born, and the day they will die. In short, it looks familiar to a biblically accurate angel in this form.

## Personality

Kyba, is a malicious, yet mostly benevolent being, often following her own rules and laws, rather than anyone elses. It has a fondness for karma, and ironic punishments, for those that wrong her, while also providing great boons to those that respect it. She has a deep love of science, engineering, and learning more about the strange, pathetic species that currently walks the world she protects. It can often be mistaken for cruel, although she most certainly wouldn't call herself cruel. Merely.. doing what must be done. She is nothing if not a gracious host, often being intensely polite to those she encounters. She does what others cannot, if due to a weak stomach, lack of willpower, or the inability to perform the aciton. She deeply hates all those that disrespect her, or turn their back upon her. It has a rather sadistic streak, taking a cruel pleasure in torturing those that either willingly, or unwillingly join in on her eternal game, giving boons to people at random, but harsh punishment to those that defy her will. She has a great love of those that are wishing to play along with her, and is often gentler on those than she should be. Very, very capricious.

## History

### Early History

* Kyba, has existed since the beginning of time, since she is Time itself. She cannot remember much of her life before the 1800's, perhaps due to the fact she merely observed, and did nothing but her job back then.
* At some point, she terrorised a village known as Glacian. An awful lot of people died, and she took pride in her handywork, discovering one of her favourite game pieces.
* During the time period usually known as the Victorian Times, Kyba first came into a personality of her own, finding great pleasure in watching doctors, and nurses and mechanics work. This lead her to forging a body for herself, that she'd improvise, and adapt over time. It also drove a few people insane. All in a days work.
* Around this point, Kyba was made truly, and utterly immortal as punishment for misdeeds she did in the name of good. It was at this point she turned her back on humanity, and her faith in her other Ancients, was lost.
* In the late 1800's, she picked up a woman named Esmeralda on her travels. These two, would become a deadly duo, who's horrific scientific advancments would get the Professor officially banned from ever working as a Doctor again.
* In the late 1930's, Kyba once again came back to fuck around with mortals, giving her gifts of scientifc knowledge to Doctors across the globe. It was shortly after this, that she left Germany, where she had been staying, and retreated to England.
* In 1986, she picked up another minon, by the name of Sally.
* In 2008, she picked up yet another minon, who went by the name of Melody, or Sparks.
* Eventually, she made her way to the strange gathering of magic, in the place that would eventually be known as the Arcana Institute. She had found a new target, to torment with all the time in the world.

### Current History

* For Class B, Kyba has mostly stayed out of their hair, however, in reccent days, it is once again making it's presence known to people, leaving and taking eyes everywhere.
