Morpheus

A strange shadowy creature with a tendency to grin maniacally. He seems somewhat... simple in ways, or is this a facade?

0 · 2,226 views · located in God Machine Chaos

a character in “Pandora Ex Machina: Into Chaos”, as played by MartinVole

Description

From the world of Abarria he is an unusual creature with a body drenched in magic, his very existence like a shadowy formation of the magical aether that flows from that world. Malice, deception, and even the sensation of pain seem foreign concepts to this being as he seems at times like a child, questioning and curious. Listening well, one can hear the creature's heartbeat resonate softly.

Naturally gifted with the powers of aether, he can change form, stretch outwards and manipulate his magic into the form of pure force without elemental qualities, as well as being able to squeeze through places seemingly impossible for more solid based creatures. Despite this he seems often solid solid enough to actually be hurt. His most notable ability is to melt into a shadowy pool and move about quickly this way, however given the inherent brightness of this world he can't hide very well this way...

He has, however, an odd stigma about how people look at him. Growing agitated or panicked when people show fear towards him, showing that this being has lived a life of persecution and resentment. No wonder, though, his very existence a testament of a defilement of "Great Mother Abarranne" by the betrayer "Raa'lm the Solemn Vow" making him a child of one of the greatest downfalls the world has ever faced.

What will it be that defines him?

So begins...

"Maybe.. it is pity..." he murmurs to himself, as if an internal conversation had taken place and leaked out.

Broken from his thoughts he looks up towards Mia. "Is strange, I've never really thought of a wish before." He puts a finger to his forehead and and ponders. "I suppose it should be a good one, a big one. Yes, a great one."

Aranel bathed her hand in her blue fire twisting it this way and that. "Fire is soooo pretty don't you think?" she asked Morph

Molkrii listened in to their conversation. She knew she wasn't a favorite, and Molkrii could live with that. Now, she was really waiting for Aranel to fall asleep so she could slip away. She could sense the path to the heart, and she just needed some time to figure out where all of the hallways led.

Waking up Mia sits rubbing her eyes. she looks into the fire. "You know in a strange way I miss home." she says in a low voice almost whisper, shedding a single tear.

Morpheus sits up tirelessly looking into the fire. He holds out his hands and begins to form and manipulate the formless energy, a primordial magic without any elemental properties. At first a ball, then warps into more elaborate shapes, people, animals.

"You are... homesick, yes?"

He continues to warp and mold the energy, now into forms like trees and plants, the forms starting to become more complex, more seemingly real, but is only an illusion. He then forms it in the shape of a planet with two moons.

"I think I understand. It was terrible at times, but..."

Breaking his concentration something small moved beside him, a soft glow of lights and the sound of very quiet skitter of metal feet. It is a complex mechanical insectoid, eyeless, a blue grow emitting from the breaks in its segments. An extremely advanced form of robotics it moves organically without whirrs or clicks of gears. It ignores the group entirely, focusing instead on a break in a stream of energy. From its mouth streams of what looks like a series of glowing threads begin to mend the break and remove debris. Morpheus watches attentively.

"Oh, this place actually has life. Why didn't I sense it?"

Mia's ear twitches. She stands up slowly and looks at Aranel. She draws her gun in one hand and draws a blade from her boot with the other. She looks in the direction where Aranel is looking. She takes aim and says. "Mor you're right. I could not smell or hear them."

"Well, I say we leave it be unless it comes after us first." Aranel replied.

She puts the knife away but keeping out the gun. "Alright" she sits back down but still facing the thing. Still with her guard up.

She looks to Mor and smiles. "Now that would be cool." she thinks for a moment. "Actually no i wouldn't that meant we have fucked with the nest. And what do bees do if you screw with their hives....?"

After a long pause. "....They will defend and since they are our size we are going to have to be a lot more quiet and go to the harte a lot more carefully." she says while putting the gun back into her pocket "Hell they might be playing us watching us as we speak. and I have no way of knowing where they are."

The small creature finishes its duty and goes on to another, however, soon another shows up, and another. Something has stirred them to swarm, but it seems not to be the group. Some of them appear recently damaged as well. Soon the reason why emerges.

A similar creature, at least by general design, but more humanoid in appearance. Tall with long arms, a red glow emitting from within its carapace. It proceeds to begin knocking the smaller ones aside and begins warping things while they try fixing it. It is acting radically, independent.

"This was not part of the test," the voice of Furor chimes in. "But it is interesting none-the-less. I introduce to you the Crimson Blight, a aberrant weave someone made in hopes of seizing power. Unfortunately, it has proven harder to erase than its master."

Another voice, similar but less cold as Furor comes in. "You have my apologies, I will initiate a purge imm-"

"Do not intervene, Metus. I wish to see their performance. Perhaps some will show greater ability to eradicate this abomination than just pushing it back out."

Daemon Metus sounds bothered. "It wasn't supposed to be this way."

The two go quiet and the aberrant is left to rampage further.

Molkrii leapt up as the insectoid creature appeared, the Crimson Blight according to Furor. Should I go now, while they're distracted, or fight? Pondering the question for a moment, she quickly decided and drew her blade. Stepping forwards gracefully, she sliced at the creature. Instead of it being sliced in half, the energy had no effect.

"Alright then, mister, let's dance." She hissed under her breath, drawing water from the monster. It seemed to dry up a bit, like a snail on salt, and she used its own fluid against it in a deadly bolt of ice. It shattered into slivers, and she directed them into chinks in the thing's armor. Piercing its flesh, or whatever was underneath, it wailed in pain and snapped at her with fatal looking weapons- its jaws. She sends more of its frozen fluids as blades into its mouth, and it continues to wail- an eerie, bone-chilling sound. Molkrii clenched her jaw and started to code a complex move.

She finished swiftly and began the sequence of attacks, moving faster than the Blight could keep up with. A kick here, and blot of ice there, until the insect was no more than an empty, cracked carapace. "Furor." Molkrii says softly, "An offering. I have slain the monster and wish no more than your presence in times of need." She pushes the shell off of the catwalk where she stands and into the deep abyss below.

After the deed is done, her armor clicks and whirls softly. The pieces flip inside out, and then back again. Her armor has been polished, fixed, and buffed where the Crimson Blight had landed blows. Then, she began down a hallway that radiated with the energy of the machine.

Mia's ear twitches she looks over to where Molkrii was standing she walks over carefully. she looks around and see the "blood" of one of the creatures. she sniffs the fluid finally getting the scent of the small ones. then notices that Molkrii was missing. see closes her eyes and puts er nose in the air sniffing. "That bastard left us." she says in a whisper. Looking back at her friends she says to herself "Sorry you guys I hope I won't be gone long." she then follows her nose. to the trail of witch Molkrii took.

Morpheus stands in shock looking at the pieces. "W-what just happened?"

The little insect-like drones proceed to try repairing the damages the Crimson did. However something seems wrong... some of the red threads remain moving before seeming to just disappear, the pieces themselves dissipate into red glowing threads.

"I wonder what it really was..?"

As Molkrii proceeds onward, something begins to communicate to her on an electronic level.

"Machine? Transient? Your existence too is aberrant... why do we conflict? Could be so much more yet... simply exists. Though we are now enemies, you will not evoke the Crimson's hate, instead... pity."

"Really you think that we burdan you down ha." she flings her arms down jetting out green flame boosting her up to the pipe that Molkrii is on landing and just a bit light headed "I don't like people either but at least i have the decency to help out. when i shook all your hands that wasn't to be nice. that was to copy your power." the lovebirds are better of without us but I was staying just to help. other than me amusing myself i am also alone in this." she turns around. "But fine go, go get yourself killed in this place. Your new here too. So when you get attacked by some creature that is way past what you can handle then it will only be you. So if you think you going to die it will only be your fault." when she turns back she is wiping a tear from her eye. "Stay or go make your choice now."

There was a click and the blade was gone. flying out of her hand but her and the blade unharmed. Over just a few feet was Mia with the smoking gun and a ice suppressor now melting. "If you want to fight then fight but fight someone who can defend themselves."
she says stowing the gun and pulling out her blade now covered in the green flames and making an ice shield. "I said go if you wanted not kill the camp. Now I'm tired of your shit. This is your last chance you need to leave. If we fight then i will not stop until one of us gives up or dies. But you are not welcome here any more!"
