Primina is a genetically modified humanoid of mysterious origins, she is an NPC portrayed by Will.

## Description

### Appearance

Primina is a 5'2" humanoid woman with light blue skin, and pointed ears. She has thick black, chin length hair. She has dark blue lines forming a complex but symmetrical lines connecting her neck, ankles, and wrists. These lines glow faintly when her powers are activated. She is the source of a powerful signature that is remarkably like Aetherium.

She wears a pair of bracelets given to her by Watt that can disguise her distinctive blue skin.

After she becomes the Lady of the Palace on Kaebooros, Primina's appearance changes. She wears a regal and alluring red and black dress, her hair has grown long, and she has prominent horns on her head. Her wings have turned black as pitch, her hands and feet are clawed, and her teeth are sharp like fangs. The glowing light blue lines on her skin appear to be different, there are less of them now.

### Personality

Primina is generally soft-spoken, but at times can be stubborn and fierce. She wants to discover who she is and find out why she was created. Primina always tries to do more to help out the party, she does not want anyone hurt for her sake. She started training with Persephone to control her abilities and was learning mechanics from Watt. She has proven to be rather resourceful, sneaking aboard Sebastian's ship to join him in the trial by The Iron Legion, and using a business card she received from Lord Saturos to escape elven capture.

As The Lady of the Palace on Kaebooros, Primina has a commanding presence. Her voice is able to fill a large room.

## Abilities

Primina has an ability to transform into a monster when provoked. In this form she becomes 10' tall, grows angel wings from her back, the sigils on her body glow, her eyes shine gold, and horns grow from her brow. Blue scales start to form on her face and arms. Her teeth become pointed, her hands and feet transform into claws, and  her legs become reptilian-like appendages. She has a long tail with a blue flame on the end. When she is hit in this form, she does not bleed but instead emits a glowing white blue light from the wounds. She is able to attack with her claws, horns, and teeth, and she has the ability to breathe fire.

One day after training Primina to the point of exhaustion, Persephone goes in for one last blow to test her theory that Primina's powers are more subconscious and instinctual. Before she makes contact, Primina sprouts wings to dodge out of the way and gains the ability to fly once per long rest.

Primina is able to withstand psychic attacks and her body reacts negatively to warn her, such as when she did not like the smell of the Nymphae Collosus flower or the taste of the ice cream.

## Testing Capabilities

### Genetic Testing

Primina was the subject of scientific experiments by the Illithid Empire. Since the party does not have access to those, Watt has been running his own diagnositics to see if they can reveal any clues about who Prim is and what she was created for.

Watt discovers that Primina's genetic sequence is not the usual double-helix of humanoids, but is an incredibly unstable structure of 16 helixes. She has more than eight times the amount of genetic information of any other humanoid he has studied. These molecular structures are constantly destabilizing and restabilizing themselves, with the help of sophisticated nanobots, within each of her cells at a rate of over a dozen times per second.

### Physical Training

Primina works with Persephone to try to gain some control over her agro-form. Through meditations and light combat they see the connection between Primina's flight or fight/emotional response and the transformation.

## Background

### Meeting the Party

Primina was found in the original ship the party encountered in "Old World" and was the catalyst for their jump into the future. When Sebastian uses his *Divine Sense* ability around her for the first time he senses that she is not evil, and that there is both celestial and fiend energy coming from her.

### Dr. Zahn

Dr. Zahn was the one in charge of the testing the Illithids wanted done on Primina. He also gave Primina her name.

Before she was given to the illithids, Primina first awoke in a research center run by Dr. Zahn and a scientific team. Dr. Zahn would teach her things and tell her stories. He often told her one specific story about one world where there were many kings and queens, but Nine were counted as the greatest among them. Their names rang with power, and their descendants were considered a part of a sacred bloodline. Under the rule of these Nine, their people grew prosperous and bountiful. The Nine knew that they would not live forever, so they forged a sacred treasure imbued with their power so that in a time of great need their descendants could call upon them once more. It is also said these Nine sang out to the stars, and at their behest the stars created worlds of their own for the people of this one world to explore. Dr. Zahn would often say tell Primina that she is the one meant to find this sacred treasure. She believes this is what the Illithids were trying to use her find, but then their focus shifted from space travel to time distortion.

Primina finds a message left by Dr. Zahn in Egress Laboratories, in it he reveals that her mission was to find a member of the ninth bloodline and return with them. He reveals that she is the only hope of stopping the God Emperor from destroying the known universe. He also reveals that she grew up in the dwarven system of Shardlar and urges her to return there.
