TrL (Threat Level) 3 Becoming more detached, but still grounded in reason.

HP (Health Points) 225 More durable than most, able to take a few hard hits.

SP (Strength Points) 15 Stronger than the average person, but not built for overwhelming force.

EnP (Energy Points) 150 Balanced energy reserves, allowing her to use tech-based abilities without major limitations.

Braxy wasn't looking for a way into the Digital World Project—it found her.

She first heard about the tester vacancies through a casual ad, and while most people were excited about the chance to be part of something revolutionary, she couldn't help but feel like something didn't add up.

"Why would the developers need external testers for a VR game? Wouldn't they test it themselves?"

It was a simple question. A logical one. But when she started digging deeper, things became… strange.

Every official response she found was vague. The selection process was oddly specific. The requirements weren't just about skill or interest—they were looking for certain types of people.

When she decided to ask directly, something unexpected happened.

Instead of dismissing her, the developers took interest in her.

They didn't just want someone who could play the game—they wanted someone who noticed things others didn't. Someone who could pick apart details, question inconsistencies, and think critically. Her sharp instincts, analytical mind, and natural skepticism made her the perfect candidate.

And so, despite her reservations, she agreed. Not because she trusted them, but because she wanted to find out what they weren't saying.

Appearance & Style

Unlike most of the testers, Braxy refuses to fully embrace the futuristic aesthetic of the digital world.

Casual Blue Jacket – Comfortable, practical, slightly worn from years of use. She's not one for flashy upgrades.

Casual White Shirt – Simple, unbranded, and uncomplicated—just like she prefers things to be.

Casual Brown Jeans – Flexible, durable, and a reminder of the real world she refuses to let go of.

Casual Brown Shoes – Sturdy, reliable, and built for practicality over appearance.

In a world of glowing neon, sleek tech, and cutting-edge fashion, Braxy stands out by not standing out at all. She doesn't care about looking futuristic—she cares about being herself.

Personality & Early Development

The Observer, The Skeptic, The Realist

Braxy is not easily fooled.

Highly Perceptive – She notices small details, inconsistencies, and irregularities that others overlook.

Sharp-Witted & Analytical – She can break down problems, analyze patterns, and see through deception quickly.

Pragmatic & Level-Headed – She doesn't let emotions cloud her judgment. Everything she does is based on logic and reason.

Detached, But Not Heartless – She may be skeptical, but she's not cruel. She has a moral code, even if she doesn't always show it.

The Shift Towards Threat Level 3 (TrL-3)

Braxy started with no emotional connection to this world. It was just a job, an investigation, a puzzle to solve. But the deeper she goes, the more she realizes:

The game isn't just a game.

Something is being hidden.

And the more she learns, the less she cares about the consequences.

She hasn't lost her morality completely, but she's willing to bend the rules if it means uncovering the truth.
