Core Stats
Stat - Value - Description
TrL (Threat Level) 1 Still holds onto her morals, but her curiosity might push her further.
VL (Virus Level) 2 Already infected. The corruption has begun, and its effects are unpredictable.
TcL (Technology Level) 3 Competent with tech, allowing her to interface with and manipulate digital systems.
HP (Health Points) 150 Moderately resilient, but not built for front-line combat.
SP (Strength Points) 20 Stronger than average, but physical combat is not her specialty.
AP (Armor Points) 10 Basic protection, but not impenetrable.
EnP (Energy Points) 150 Decent energy reserves, allowing her to sustain digital interactions for extended periods.
Background
The Researcher Who Looked Too Deep
Tury was never a developer, but she didn't need to be. Her keen eye for patterns, her technical understanding, and her relentless curiosity made her an indispensable part of the tester team. While others worked on perfecting the digital world's mechanics, she was focused on understanding it—the hidden systems, the rules behind the code, the things that weren't meant to be seen.
That's when she found it.
A glitch. A fragment of corrupted code that shouldn't have existed. It was hidden, buried far beyond the mapped areas of the city, in a place no one was supposed to reach. But one day, it was just there—as if it had appeared from nowhere.
Tury couldn't ignore it. She studied it, tested it, documented everything. And then, it changed her.
She doesn't know when it happened—maybe when she tried to interact with it, maybe when she extracted the data. Maybe it was the moment she saw something she wasn't supposed to see.
Now, she's infected.
A technological virus runs through her, distorting her perception, her code, her very existence. She's at VL-2 (Stage 2 of the virus)—not fully overtaken, but no longer fully herself either.
Her hands glitch sometimes. Her vision flickers in and out of digital overlays she can't control. And worst of all? She can feel it growing.
But she's not stopping. Not yet.
Appearance & Style
Tury dresses not for fashion, but for survival.
Reinforced Contingency Clothes – Designed to protect, but not fully impervious. These clothes are meant for hazardous situations, but against a digital infection, they're useless. Still, she wears them—maybe out of habit, maybe out of hope.
Deep Orange Hazard Uniform – Bright, distinctive, a warning to others. This isn't just protective gear; it's a sign that she knows the risks of the digital world better than most.
Always Carries a Laptop – Her most important possession. It's modified, enhanced, and packed with security overrides. The screen is often glitching now, showing data strings that shouldn't exist, but she refuses to stop using it.
Her movements are still sharp, still controlled, but every so often, there's a stutter, a glitch in how she moves, as if reality itself is struggling to keep her stable.
Personality & Early Development
Curiosity Turned Into Paranoia
Tury is intelligent, driven, and deeply inquisitive—the type of person who never stops asking questions. She is one of the few people who truly understands the depth of the digital world, and that knowledge comes at a cost.
Deeply Analytical – She sees patterns where others don't. When something is wrong, she knows.
Cautiously Reckless – She's willing to take risks, but she knows when to pull back—most of the time.
Paranoid but Not Fearful – She knows something is wrong in this world, and she's starting to believe someone or something is watching her.
Determined to Find the Truth – Even as the virus spreads, even as her reality warps, she refuses to stop digging.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths:
✔ Tech Savvy – Her TcL of 3 gives her an edge when dealing with digital systems, hacking, and information gathering.
✔ Highly Perceptive – She sees what others overlook, making her invaluable in uncovering secrets.
✔ Adaptable & Resourceful – Even with limited combat abilities, she knows how to survive.
✔ Infected, but in Control (For Now) – VL-2 is not yet lethal, but it gives her a strange connection to the system, allowing her to see hidden data and sense anomalies.
Weaknesses:
✖ The Virus is Spreading – VL-2 is only the beginning. Every day, she's a little less herself. If it reaches higher levels, she may lose control entirely.
✖ Limited Physical Defense – 10 AP and 150 HP make her vulnerable in direct combat. She relies more on avoidance and strategy.
✖ Knows Too Much – The things she's uncovered make her a target—not just for enemies, but for anyone who doesn't want the truth getting out.
✖ Glitches & Reality Distortion – Sometimes, her body doesn't work the way it should. A small delay in movement, a flicker in her perception—in a critical moment, that could be the difference between life and death.
