### Backstory --- Though appearing much like humans, the yureokts are anything but. Coming in various shades of white (with their tinted hues differing by ethnicity), members of this race have been romantically referred to as "eidolons of war" or "souls at the brannigan" in the most ancient of texts. This is not without reason: many a yureokt whose legacy reached the fine print of world history has been noted to be bloodthirsty, jubilant, or both in life. It should make sense, then, that this fact reflects less their personalities, and more their cultures. Yureokt societies can generally be divided into two kinds. The yureokts that have more facts on them recorded but are generally less thought of are the ones who have chosen the ceremonious lifestyles of metropolitan folk, showing deference to punctilio after punctilio within the conventions of what one is inclined to call refined civilization. Gahamer is not of this culture. The community Gahamer directly belongs to is one of the many large tribes of nomadic yureokts that travel through deserts and plains. Her people are feared by the people of cities; they have a reputation for being barbarians and clerics that have mastered the art of combat on scales both large and small. The fact that these tribes who were once content to pursue their ways of life separately have bound themselves into one alliance for the last few generations (according to the dragons, anyway—who knows how long a draconic generation is with their unpredictable lifespans) does not put anyone at ease. These bellicose yureokts call themselves the Hallows, for they believe that they themselves embody what remains of their gods' wishes. Their penchant for consecrating people, places, and things all over the world contributes to the eternal debate of whether or not their pantheon truly exists. Many are careful to avoid earning the wrath of this society, and travelers of all races that must cross the harsh deserts or the wide plains are frequently advised to carry items of goodwill on their person to give away upon encounter. Word of mouth has it that if one impresses them, these priestly "savages" may part with talismans or even prophecies in return. The Hallows Tribes have been the subject of fascination and superstition among other civilizations for their tendency to defy expectations. At the consternation of settled peoples, though, the tribes only laugh. After all, the Hallows never pass up an opportunity to distinguish each yureokt they call their own for their strengths—and is it not several individuals excelling at different skills who bond to cover up weaknesses and grow a brave community? The most exalted of all among the Hallowed Alliance is Aiyala Gahamer of the Esnamonia tribe. She was born in the purple—or rather, born to divine blood. What else could those markings upon her face be? Soon after her birth parents died in a skirmish against a cavalry of knights on dragonback (half of whom their sole daughter slew in retaliation), Gahamer claimed absolute power over all the Hallows Tribes, answering to none save herself and the pantheon henceforth. The chieftains and chieftainesses of the other tribes had no complaint for this turn of events; in fact, her influence is considered by these yureokts to be the greatest gift their gods have bestowed upon them in eons. Backed by ordained rule and popular opinion, the young (by yureokt standards) chieftess fights incessantly for the high hopes of the Hallows—the desire to prove their power and prosperity to be considered something other than "uncivilized" to the larger world being their most prominent hope of all.

> What is a mortician if not a very, very late doctor? *-- Cordelia* The responsibilities of a funerary witch are such; Mortician, Undertaker, overseer of the graveyard, Funeral home director, exorcist, and, in Cordelia's case, mentor. While she has employees for most of these, raising a teenager is one of her hardest tasks yet. Made only harder by the kid's propensity for wandering off. Lord, where did she go now?

### Author's Notes --- ✦ \[Notes from the page author\] # Katabax
> This risks associated with this action have not been previously assessed. Are you sure you want to proceed? \[Y/N\] *-- AZIMUTH Prime, LOG \[47617465776179\]* Rumours have it that Katabax was a living, breathing creature once, from a world very different to Thraelos. What species it may have been before, nobody can answer, nor do they dare ask. What stands before them in the present is all that matters: a complex arrangement of sliding metal parts and uncompromising mechanisms, all sharpened to needlepoint and polished to a perfect reflective finish. Katabax locks himself often in his personal workspace within the laboratories of Azimuth Manufacturing Company, only being caught slithering through the halls in the peripheral vision of his underlings. Speculation breeds like wildfire as to what it could be up to, but very few have curried favour with the cruel machine.

### Backstory --- Arma'chymos is a world defined by its ever-dark skies and metallic flora and fauna. Many organisms in Arma'chymos are little more than the most basal of animals. It remains primitive in comparison to other worlds, stuck in its cycles by the overbearing pressures of heightened natural selection. The creature that would eventually become Katabax was a small organism within Arma'chymos' brutal ecosystem first crawled out of their primordial soup as little more than a scavenger. From the beginning, its chemical receptors stood above the rest, being able detect tainted or poisonous chemicals in the remains it fed on. As it grew in size and speed, pre-Katabax began to select its diet, prioritizing creatures which learned tool manipulation and social species. Extracting more and more of their data, in conjunction with its own natural senses, granted it intelligence. Pre-Katabax never claimed a part of its home world's surface as its territory despite its burgeoning intelligence providing an advantage. Instead, it holed itself in a tunnel near a pool of primordial soup and used it as its lair. It opted for a slippery, mobile body over heavy armour and specialized for precise dexterity over the obvious weapon in the form of claws. While the other apex creatures around it passively gained their own higher intelligence, Pre-Katabax was far ahead of them, experimenting and making observations of its greater environment. It had turned its gaze up to the skies too, wondering if there is anything beyond the grim skies. Its answer would come in the form of a gateway. While it traced evidence of non-Chymic material buried deep in the data procured from its prey, another portal would periodically appear and disappear. Other creatures were afraid of it and no dominant individuals had claimed the immediate area. Katabax was determined to be the first to investigate. The consequences were immediate. Katabax's body was rended apart in the space between Arma'chymos and its destination. On the other side, it emerged as a mangled mess of metal and flesh. Whoever were responsible shut the portal down and left Katabax in the chamber for months, where it proceeded to link itself to the computing system that operated the portal frame. The information it gained upon connecting to the system was immense, and finally, it had a name for the place it had ended up: *Thraelos*. From there, and with some assistance (and later material) from a particularly disturbed researcher, it restored as much as it could of its previous form. Katabax has since been, strangely enough, accepted as another member of Azimuth Manufacturing Co.'s research staff, compelled to stay by the near limitless access to new information, and a particular agreement it had struck with the company's current Chief Director, Amira.

[**Calamitea.**](https://archive.thraelosverse.com/archive.thraelosverse.com/books/players-and-player-characters/page/calamitea "Calamitea. creator page")
### Personality --- \[CLEARANCE UNVERIFIED. INFORMATION WITHHELD.\]
Likes - Observational activities in general: people watching, debate, attending colloquiums, etc. - Information-base gathering: study, reading, data processing and analysis - Deconstructing and re-constructing systems to their components - Ethically dubious scientific practice - Puzzles
Dislikes - People thinking they are smarter than it \[they are wrong\] - Quarrelsome people, close-mindedness and contrarians - Wastefulness & excess - People prying where they shouldn't
### Location --- Katabax usually stays within the grounds of Azimuth's campus, having access to all the facilities freely there to the point that many suspect that it lives within the facility. On very rare occasions, it may go elsewhere for work-related reasons, whether it be as a representative of the company board or as the head of its own department—though it usually substitutes its presence with the use of a proxy, whether they be agents or drones. ### Abilities --- #### ✦ DIRECTIVE :: EXTRACT Katabax is able to consume other organisms and extract chemical and electrical data from them to add to its information base. It is able to access memories of those it absorbs so long as the associated synapses are active. ##### ✦ SUB-DIRECTIVE :: SYNTHESIS An ability intrinsic to its species, Katabax can take a piece of its own mass and synthesise a lesser copy of itself. The copy is much smaller and possesses little more than basic survival instincts. The copy is able to collect information independent of Katabax's main body. If at any point the main body is destroyed, the copy can gather the remaining mass and take its place if necessary. In turn, Katabax can re-absorb its clone(s) and the extra data that comes with it. #### ✦ PROTOCOL :: NULLIFY Katabax has a field of anti-magic in an almost immediate proximity to it due to its composition. This field is subconsciously active by default, but can be disabled for a short period \[ie. 1.5-3~ hrs\]. Within this field, magic-wielders report their abilities feeling 'stuck' in some way or another. Objects imbued with arcane enhancement lose their \[magic-based\] effects so long as they in proximity. The moment the affected person or object crosses the boundary of the field in full, their capabilities return to them like normal, with no lingering side effects. #### ✦ PROTOCOL :: REGENERATE \[CLEARANCE UNVERIFIED. INFORMATION WITHHELD.\] ### Skills & Stats --- Katabax is very much a specialist in its abilities, but those specializations are not easily deduced at a glance. For something its size and assumed power, it does have a bit of a "glass cannon" quality to it.
Weapons - **Rostrum.** Katabax's spear-like extension from its upper jaw can be used for pinning things down. - **Teeth.** Seldom used due to a relatively weak bite force, but good for shredding. Used for PROTOCOL :: REGENERATE as needed. - **Bladed arms.** Katabax possesses a set of structures on its arms that can slide past the phalanges to act as scalpels. When not in use, these blades retract back to slot above Katabax's forearm to protect the bladed tip.
#### ✦ General Stats
**✦ Strengths** **✧ Weaknesses**
- Near-complete magic immunity - High information processing capacity - Highly agile despite size - Polyglot - Machine precision - Fragile components and insides - Extremely bulky - Sensitive to heat and electricity - Little shearing and compression force resistances - Massive know-it-all
##### ✦ Imperative Strengths - High information capacity. Katabax is able to take in and process information very quickly. It is able to memorize whole conversations, recall events with perfect clarity and learn at a terrifying rate. - Agility. Katabax is highly mobile for a creature its size and weight. - Polyglot. Fluent and literate in most major languages in use across Thraelos in addition to its own mother tongue. ##### **✧** Imperative Weaknesses - Fragile components. Most components can be replaced by PROTOCOL :: REGENERATE, but a few, such as its eyes, must be supplied elsewhere and grafted on by a skilled (*and* trusted) technician. - Fragile insides. Sections of Katabax's connective tissue is organic and is therefore susceptible to injury. Healing these tissues also requires a lot of time. - Shearing force vulnerability. As a being made mostly out of metal, Katabax's plating is prone to warping and denting under uneven pressure. These pieces will need to be entirely removed then regenerated. ##### ✦ Psychological Stats ✦

### Author's Notes --- ✦ Katabax's name is derived from the Ancient Greek word, 'katabasis' ( κατάβασις ), which refers to a journey into the Underworld in classical mythology. ✦ I semi-ironically ship Zetsel with Bax purely because "Zetbax" (Setbacks!) is a hilarious ship name with the added context that these two idiots thrive on infuriating each other even if they are on the same team.
