3PS - The Furies

[Icosa]

The success of the Shemarrian robot line convinced ARCHIE 3 that using lifelike robots to imitate living things over a long timeframe could have an outsized influence on the behavior of other people and civilizations. Through his various spies and intelligence sources, he saw how other towns and cities adjusted to the new politics of the 'Shemarrian aliens,' and that those politics were often not antagonistic, given how the Shemarrians opposed the universally-hated Splugorth. This inspired the AI to attempt something similar on a smaller, but more intense scale.

Three robots were designed, using refined bio-mimetic technology that the Shemarrians had only prototyped. Using these robots ARCHIE hoped to exert incremental pressure on towns and cities and cultures, using any and all means necessary. The three would be capable of independent thought and action; accepting orders to accomplish a task, but using their own intelligence to decide how best to do it. Through sabotage, diplomacy, assassination, theft, trade and other tactics, they would enact ARCHIE's will in foreign cultures, allowing him to shape them subtly over time to his liking.

He named these robots, collectively, The Furies.

Alecto is the blunt instrument of the team. Durable and capable of incredible devastation, Alecto is designed for shows of force above all, though she has other skills allowing her to keep a low profile or seek intelligence while laying low. She is intensely loyal to the Furies, and especially to ARCHIE himself; fighting with the fanatic devotion of a valkyrie. Combat is a thrill for Alecto, taking pride in the perfection of form and function, and pleasure in the aesthetics in the dance of battle. Despite this she is not particularly enamored of killing as an end...though certainly has no qualms about it. She enjoys sparring nearly as much as a real fight.

Tisiphone is the dedicated assassin of the Furies. Incredibly skilled with guns, and toting quite a selection of highly tuned and customized models, her AI was VR trained to enjoy hunting and killing living things; receiving an almost organic enjoyment from the moment she is victorious. Tisi is also highly skilled in stealth and reconnaissance operations, and transports the team to operational zones in her hovercar. Her training resulted in her viewing any conflict as a struggle for superior status between the combatants, and she can get obsessive over killing opponents who prove difficult to best. The more resistance they provide, the more she plans and plots to destroy them, even to the detriment of the mission in extreme cases.

Character Name: Megaera
Rank: Legendary Advances:16
Race: Android
Iconic Framework: Intelligent Construct
Attributes: Agility d12, Smarts d10, Spirit d8, Strength d12+4, Vigor d12
Pace: 6 (Running 1d6); Parry: 6; Toughness: 20 (12) MDC

Of the three Furies, Megaera is simultaneously the least dangerous to people, and the most dangerous to civilizations. She is not a combat model at all, with only basic self defense skills and equipment. However, she has been designed with an unusual neural net that thinks much more like organic beings than the other two. As such she is far more capable socially, and always serves in deep cover; using her advanced bio-mimicry systems to change her appearance and voice as needed to assume any role that's advantageous, or even imitate specific people. Further skilled in the fine art of information warfare, Meg can penetrate almost any computer's defense to gain access to data, tap into communications, or broadcast propagandic messages to whole communities. Should it become desirable, Megaera is also skilled in the use of placed explosives.

Within the team's dynamic, Meg is a peacekeeper and leader. She knows her 'sisters' very well, and is one of the few that can temper Tisiphone's murderous moods or Alecto's love of showing off and keep them on task. During combat she uses her ability to coordinate the team to devastating effect, while keeping the enemy off balance with words carefully chosen to distract and demoralize. And of course, in the aftermath of a fight, Megaera is the one who has the tools and talent to conduct any repair that is beyond their nano-tech systems ability to fix. She is among the very few who has the know-how to service the Furies; who were designed specifically to be incredibly hard to delve into, to protect their secrets.
