Physiological Abilities

• Telepathy: Enni's antennae allow her to communicate with bugs psychically. She doesn't assume direct control, but rather gives them orders. About 90% of bugs obey her without question, as her "telepath voice" is deceptively scary. Enni can also understand bugs, no matter what protocol they use for communication.



• Sticky Hands: Enni's hands and shins can stick to surfaces, allowing her to crawl up walls and on ceilings. She doesn't suffer from circulation issues from being upside down for extended periods of time.



• Pincer Teeth: Enni's teeth are strong enough to chew through light metals. Receiving a bite from Enni will cause the affected area to swell up and itch for up to several days.



• Burrowing: Enni can dig through most kinds of conventional terrain, including concrete and light metal. Her digging speed depends on the terrain, but is usually much slower than her crawling speed.



• Wings: Enni's wings allow her to hover and fly at fairly low altitudes. They are usually silent, but will buzz either if Enni accelerates to speeds beyond her crawl speed, or if she consciously chooses to make them buzz. Unavailable in her Tier 1 form.



• Backlight: There are several bulbs connected to the outer frame of Enni's wings, which can be configured to glow in a variety of colours. Her inner membrane also has what is essentially a backlit screen, so she is able to have her wings illuminate at will. Electricity can be siphoned from these lights, but the voltage supplied is so low that it can only power battery-operated devices. Only available in her Tier 2 Form.



• Hyperspeed: Among the Swarmling races, dragonflies are known for their speed. Enni's maximum crawl speed is incredibly fast, reaching speeds just below the speed of sound. Crawling at that speed tires her out though, so she does it in short bursts. She can fly even faster than that, and can reach speeds of up to Mach 1.5. Flight is also significantly less taxing than crawling, so she often chooses to do that for long distance travel. Her reflexes are also very sharp.

Proficiencies

• Flagspear: Enni shows interest in using a spear (with Papylon's national flag attached to it) as her weapon of choice on the front lines. She's a lot better at using it as a projectile than she is in close quarters combat. She doesn't bring the spear to covert operations, instead relying on her teeth as her primary weapon.



• Magic: Enni was born of a world where magic was common. Her knowledge is limited to some of the basic spells, such as conjuration of energy projectiles and levitation of small objects. Her elemental affinity is Shadow, but at present this just translates to her projectiles being purple and inflicting extra damage to beings that have an aversion to darkness.



• Textiles: Enni has taken up sewing as a hobby, and considers herself to be quite the apt tailor. She creates clothing and embroiders patterns onto them. She even takes commissions from other Architects, but focuses on style over protection. Her own signature dress was self-designed, as was the Papylonian national flag.



• Performance: Enni takes lessons at Tempo Academy and seems to have a high aptitude for singing. She is considered to have a soprano voice, but since she has a similar physiology to a human child it is very possible for her vocal range to drop as she progresses through the tiers. She dances too, but is less known for that ability.

Architect Powers

Tier I - Entomancy

• Spawn: With the power of creation, Enni can spawn swarms of bugs of any kind from her throat, vomiting them out into the world. The bugs don't necessarily have to be newborn; they could even be at their final stage of metamorphosis, or they could still be in eggs. Likewise, the bugs don't necessarily have to be native to Enni's home realm. Should she discover any new species of arthropod, there is a good chance that she'll be able to summon those as well. Enni has several formations of bugs that she frequently calls upon.

  SPOILER: Click to show
  
  
  • Attention Control [AC]: Swarms of butterflies are usually used artistically, more often than not for Enni to draw more attention to herself. The same is true for fireflies, especially during the night. Alternatively, these bugs may be tasked with drawing attention away from Enni if she needs a diversion.
  
  
  
  • Barrier Formation [BF]: Rhino beetle swarms are often called upon when Enni needs a shield. They take on a formation using their hard shells to block incoming attacks.
  
  
  
  • Eyes in the Skies [ES]: Dragonfly swarms are typically scattered and used as surveillance. They report back to Enni whenever they detect any suspicious activity.
  
  
  
  • Goo Platoon [GP]: Snail slime and bee honey are occasionally employed in trapping. The snail shells and the bees themselves are sometimes used as thrown projectiles. Honey additionally serves as a light snack.
  
  
  
  • Identity Pending [IP]: Bugs that Enni has only just discovered and have to be put into an impromptu unit. Who knows what they're capable of?
  
  
  
  • Labour Party [LP]: Worker ants do a lot of Enni's manual labour, but are also sometimes employed in combat.
  
  
  
  • Raid Brigade [RB]: Locusts, termites, mosquitoes and even moths are primarily used for sabotage. They devour food supplies, wooden structures, blood and fabric respectively.
  
  
  
  • Scare Crew [SC]: Hordes of spiders are primarily called upon to scare people. Venomous species may be summoned if Enni needs to poison a target, or she may spawn scorpions or hornets instead. Spiders also serve the use of weaving silk strings, which Enni sometimes uses in the construction of traps and other times for making clothes.
  
  
  
  • Weavers of Fate [WF]: Papylonian dye spiders and moths that weave Enni's clothes onto her and devour her old ones, in that order. Deployed for a quick change of outfits, but only works with silk.
  
  



• Evolution: Enni is able to transform an ordinary bug into a Swarmling of a variety identical to the original bug. The Swarmling's age and gender become resemblant of the original bug's, so for example a bug that has gone through half of its expected lifespan will be transformed into a middle-aged adult Swarmling.



• Metamorphosis: Enni's appearance changes each time her Tier Level increases. The process takes approximately six hours, during which Enni forces herself into a cocoon to lie dormant. Externally interrupting the process will slow it down. The physical aging of her humanoid self is also directly linked to her Tier Level, so while she appears as a baby at Tier I, she will undergo discrete transformations through different phases of human life as her Tier increases.

  Enni also gains a new themed set of abilities to play with each time she undergoes metamorphosis. Entomancy, the creation and command of bugs, is always going to be her strongest and most frequently used.



• Retromorphosis: Enni is able to revert to any of her previous Tier's forms at any time. Her physiological abilities are affected, but her Architect powers and stats in battle are not. However, if she wishes to progress forward through her forms she will have to undergo the six-hour Metamorphosis process again.

Tier II - Fame

• Moe Moe Cannon: A heart-shaped projectile that Enni can shoot towards an inanimate object, transforming that object into a little girl that resembles the original object in some way. This ability is heavily exhausting, and is used sparingly. Enni is more likely to use her powers to create a Swarmling instead if she ever needs a little girl to assist her.



• Autograph: Enni is able to conjure and launch merchandise of herself, whether it be bobbleheads, mugs, plushies, signed baseballs, rolled up T-shirts or anything else sold at her imaginary gift shop.



• Spotlight: Enni is able to artificially divert someone's attention towards her, forcing all of their senses to focus on her. The afflicted will always turn to look at her, and will hear her voice louder than other sounds. She rarely uses this, however, since she much prefers her attention to be "organic" as she puts it.



• Shrink: Enni gets even cuter by shrinking herself. She can shrink all the way down to the size of an average dragonfly, and can revert back to her original size at will.



• Voice Like Butter: Enni's singing voice is very uplifting and can influence the morale of her allies.



• Enninisotera Hotline: Enni's antennae are registered to a particular phone number in Architect City: 3771-7150-7394. She can take and block incoming phonecalls, put them on hold, and respond either with her telepathy or using her physical voice. Calls are charged per minute. Terms and conditions apply.
