"We" WIP
|
-- R0 Providence
In times long forgotten, the ancient hive evolved to use magics. A eusocial bond was forged and evolved along side the insects magical prowess. A mind, hazy at first, began to form. Generation after generation this communal mind eventually became sentient, self aware, and sapient. The insects had no need for a name as they shared one mind, however they refer to themselves in the plural. Thusly, from here on out, the ancient hive mind will be refereed to as it revers to itself: "We."
Table of ContentsBackstoryThe beginning of "We" is hard to parse. A crude form of their mind existed as some of the first life on in the world, but even though it has continuity with the current hive mind, it would be completely unrecognizable. They developed parasitic tenancies long before there was intelligent life to inhabit. There is no record or memory as to how or why they developed the way they did, but they have called the Pantheon mountains home since deep into pre-history, infesting the native fauna, and using whatever body they could get their legs on as a tool and a hive.
Their simple life was shaken many millennia later when they encountered a new kind of host: a species of biped that had came to their mountain with the fruits of their own intelligence. With the infestation of the first of this new species a whole new world was unlocked for "We." This was the first time it connected to a mind that could rival its own. So many new novel concepts, fascinating new knowledge, new techniques, and a unique self aware train of thought. "We" developed a taste for more than flesh that day. It learned to crave knowledge.
And so countless generations passed and an evolutionary and techno-logic arms race developed between "We" and the ancient bipeds. "We" became an adept mimic, and the bipeds learned to cut off their own minds with magic contingency spells. But, eventually, "We" grew bored and exhausted with the never ending struggle. So "We" Slumbered beneath the mountain for a nearly unfathomable amount of time, to emerge into a new world, where "We," and all of the countermeasures intelligent life had developed to stop them, had long been forgotten, |

Personality
"We" is not some malevolent entity with wicked intentions. "We" is inhuman in its morality. A self-aware parasite and carnivore that has come to terms with its nature and sees no reason to change at this time. It is driven by a simple desire to consume, both meat and knowledge. Though "We" is surprisingly smart, and good at acting the part of human, "We" is ultimately an animal.

Abilities
✦ Infestation and Integration
The core of what "We" is capable of. They are adapted to burrow into flesh and stitch themselves into the nervous systems of those they infest. They become permanently bonded to the host until the host dies, putting the original mind in stasis.
