Played By= Denise Richards
Category= Lady
Name = Echonia LaVarjia (Ek-own-ee-uh // Luh-Varr-Jee-uh the J is accented and soft like in "Deja Vu")
Alias/Nicknames = Rumor of Rumor Radio (no one knows it's her yet!), Echo La'Marr (Hacker Name very few know) -- older names no one would likely know -- Echo-5:9, Beyonia Yordvik, Eveline Lamencio,
(All of her known names, including Echo & Echonia, are aliases, there's a long list and I will name them as they come up in RP and backstory!)
Age = Appears 34 - Consciously 10,000 something years old (See history for details); her cloned body is 14 years old
Status = Widowed x3
Height = 5' 6''
Weight = 132 lbs
Eye Color = Light Aqua-Blue; amaurotic - meaning blindness, esp when occurring without observable damage to the eye
Hair Color = Honey Brown/blonde
General Demeanor/Personality = She is complex, for the sake of the app I'm splitting her core personalities.
>>Lady Echonia LaVarjia personality (who she seems in the general public)<< Regal, elegant, fluid, soft spoken, highly intelligent, compassionate, skeptic, sensationalist, historian, curious listener, and Progress over Profit Advocate. Lady Echonia has a Rush (Russian) accent which is strongest when she most passionate about something. At times she can be exceptionally adventurous and arguably reckless but always modest and polite. To most, Lady LaVarjia comes off as an old soul, someone of peace, harmony and good will. Despite her strong modesty Echonia is doesn't shy from nudity or prone to blushing of any kind in tense or inappropriate situations. Due to her skills she's very good at appearing to be a seeing person by making pretty accurate eye contact and full facial expressions, so not everyone actually knows she's blind.
Quirks = (These tend to show up regardless of the persona, keep in mind these developed over a LONG period of time)
- Chooses to remain physically blind despite technology not to be because she believes it would diminish her skill.
- She's compelled to stick up for anyone who can't or are too afraid to stick up for themselves
- Insists/has to spend at least an hour a day outside or in a bio-room without any aiding technology
- Is ritualistic about her physical fitness routines and non lethal self-defense practice
- Requires regular shots (every 12 hours) of a special protein her cloned engineered body requires (see history)
- Prefers to be barefoot or wear very thin slippers to feel the ground under her regardless of where she is
- Prefers buttons over zippers because they are quieter
- Hoarder/ collector of Earth artifacts (see history)
- She avoids killing at all costs, including self sacrifice (because she knows she'll come back)
- Missing memories between uploads and deaths (see history)
- Believes that music is Humanity's soul captured in time
- ... more may be added later as I feel her out ...
Best Skills = These I tried to put in alphabetical order and tagged if it's personality specific (meaning shows most in that personality)
- Close range Non Lethal defensive combat = things like pressure points and identifying them on an attacker in action, using her walking stick or staff for the same purpose or to knock them unconscious, trip them etc.
- Echo-location Depth perception = be it her sounds or someone elses she can use them to map an area (best in small closed spaces)
- Eidetic Memory = has thousands of years worth of memories in vivid detail (may get dates wrong though); recalling them at will is a skill
- Engineer Of Advanced Technologies - Echo = robotics, genetically responsive tech (only responds to people of a specific DNA type or person), gadgetry like surveillance drones and external sensory mapping and translation etc
- Genetically Enhanced Reflexes = it's a skill because she has to re-teach each new body how to control these snap-quick reflexes (this extends to her brains processing speed which is part of why she is such a good hacker and technologist-- see history)
- Genetically Enhanced Muscle Efficiency = not really a skill, she doesn't know what it feels like not to have this which allows her to have the snap-quick reflexes and look like she glides rather than walks etc.
- Genetically Enhanced Proximity Sensory (10 feet, objects, people and living things especially) = a physical ability as much as a skill because she has to interpret what she feels, it's not really an exact science and sometimes she's wrong, she can be mislead
- Genetically Enhanced Selective Hearing = physical ability as much as a skill, if she dies and is in a newly cloned body she may not be seen for months while she teaches her body how to use this skill/ability
- Historian/ Antiquities Authenticator - Lady LaVarjia = between her equipment/technology and personal experience and know how she's said to be the best when it comes to authenticating Earth artifacts and relics
- Mathematics - Echo = it is the fundamental backbone of everything she does and creates and where the core of her genius lies
- Multi-tasking = be it working on multiple projects at the same time, or hacking a source from multiple angels; she's very good at doing things together but separate
- Software programming/hacking - Echo = making the gadets is one piece of the equation and the programming is the other, this includes the software for her own technology which allows her to "see" and do the building. This extends into all forms of computer and software code (except maybe the Catai & Nahili when they come into play, though she could probably learn!) which would allow her to gain access to just about anywhere given enough time and an actual access point (if it's not on a network it requires a physical port plug in)
- Sound Distinction = the skill to distinguish one sound from another even among a group of sounds (the more and louder the sounds the harder to do but her selective hearing helps with this-- and will also momentarily impair her ability to hear outside of her focus)
- Stealth = being able to hear as well as she can she's perfected how to be quiet including what clothes to wear and how to wear them and step etc
General Skills = Cooking (hobby), Sculpting/pottery (hobby), acquiring Earth artifacts (Hobby, Passion & Inherent duty), Piano/Keyboard (hobby), Running, Swimming, Climbing, Rowing, REM sleep processing (purposefully inspiring her mind to think about problems and such during her REM sleep to help her work through them), gardening (fruits, vegetables and spices for her cooking mostly), massage (pretty much only uses it on herself), ... more may be added as I flesh her out ...
Reputation = (Again, I split her reputation per her personalities so depending on who knows her how...)
>>Rumor Radio personality (who she seems on air)<<
- Anonymous! Some speculate she is a he using software to sound like a sexy woman
- It's also speculated it's run by a family considering it's been around for over one hundred years
- There are message boxes and drop boxes reportedly around the colonies for listeners to communicate with Rumor Radio
- Rumor Radio is the one truly unregulated or monitored broadcast and cuts into broadcasts for air time
- If you believe what you hear, Rumor Radio never broadcasts from the same location twice
- To the public of the At-verse she's the Matron and caretaker of the What-Was Museum on MistHaven Moon.
- It's not common knowledge she's blind but it's widely speculated.
- She is the Go-To authenticator for Earth Relics and Artifacts
- She is the last remaining relative and heir to the LaVarjia fortune and collection of Earth artifacts (which unknown to everyone are actually all just hers. xD)
- Also considered the foremost expert on Ancient/L'get technologies
- Spends most of her time in the Museum on MistHaven Moon re-arranging or rotating the displays (because she has more relics and artifacts in storage than is displayed at any given time and is constantly adding to it)
- Known Advocate of Peace and of Progress over Profit
- Frequents Midway Station in search of relics and because she has a Stack on Deck 2 selling artifacts and antiques she has duplicates of, or has found one of better condition to keep for herself (Details on the Stack will come after/if she's accepted)
>> Echo La'Marr (Her most comfortable self) <<
- There is no reputation unless you count among the handful (Yes, 5 I think) she works with as a Hacker and or Tellurian Record Keeper (see history)
- In that circle she is jokingly but accurately called a Tech-God for her many creative works (see history)
- In that HAND it's also common knowledge she's blind and chooses to remain so despite having the tech not to be, tech she helped create
- Among the HAND collective Echo is the Present Day "High-Tech-Robin-Hood" fighting for the people against the corporations and profit over progress
- Founder and point of contact for the HAND (Humanity Against Nazi Delegations -- reads: Corporate Control)
It's a four letter word representing an anonymous fivemaybe six person
foundation of a universe wide organization; Humanity Against Nazi Delegations
Brief Bio = (It's brief all things considered! Please note, her history is kind of a loop, I will try to explain it so it's easy to wrap your brains around!)
- 2303 AD EARTH - Technology boom: advanced cryo-stasis for space travel, bio-tech for the common person, advances in artificial incubation as a surrogate alternative, ship shielding advances, long range drone probes, genetic imprint security tech, etc. Advances in cloning also, though it's still outlawed.
- Also the year Echo was engineered as a Tellurian Record Keeper by an underground organization called the Tellurian Trust - Observers of history and background nudges of the technology boom
- As a Record Keeper she was given superior memory capacity through genetic engineering more advanced than the rest of the world (further explained later)
- She was also intentionally made blind by her primary sponsor and visionary, Beyonia Yordvik - chair member of the Tellurian Trust
- 2313 AD EARTH - More than a Record Keeper: rumor spreads among the Tellurian Trust that Beyonia had a hand in altering the Echo model to share her intelligence and ingenuity with technology, speculated through bribery of an unknown nature
- Only ten years old, allowed a natural rate of growth development, Echo-5:9 far exceeded their expectations in memory function and her knack for mathematics which was rapidly spreading to technology-- specifically programming, the ones and zeros.
- It was also around this time they changed her routines to include regular exercise like running, swimming and climbing; testing her limitations and abilities which were also more advanced than agreed upon by the Tellurian Trust
- 2333 AD EARTH - Tellurian Trust Tips: Echo-5:9, now simply referred to as Echo is 30 years old celebrating and finding out nothing about who she is or where she came from is what is seems and it breaks the Trust apart and radically changing the coarse of Tellurian Trust action
- Beyonia, nearly 100 now, reveals to the Trust and Echo, why she was made the way she was-- not just to record history as it happened, but to be able to accept hers as well because they were essentially the same person
- Most of the Trust called it lunacy and ordered Beyonia's exile and Echo's termination which caused them both to flee, but not before destroying the Tellurian Trust headquarters, this was known to the public as The New Eden Explosion, hundreds died and centuries of records and research were destroyed
- 2334 AD EARTH - Beyonia is Reborn: After downloading her memories into Echo through her heavily guarded Consciousness Transfer Technology she kills herself to be reborn and show Echo the process first hand. The two processes take place just after they blow up New Eden (with help!) and it extends into the next few years
- Echo is given the history of Beyonia's life which is now on a parallel path of her own, dependent on one another to even exist (keep reading)
- Bey shows Echo the re-birth/cloning process, explaining that she MUST download her consciousness into the COR (Consciousness Oversight Recorder; see Glossary at the bottom for how this works) before beginning the process or she will loose whatever memories between her last download
- When Bey's body flat-lines for more than an hour, the RAC lab is brought online and the process begins (see the Glossary for details on the process)
- Echo becomes the apparent elder of the two as Bey is reborn in a body appearing around twenty
- 2344 AD EARTH - Echo-Bey go into hiding: Only a decade later TT, Double T, Tellurian Trouble is back in action and determined to hunt the two rogues and become the dominant corporate power forcing them into hiding because of a contract they negotiated with the worlds leading mercenary troop (of the time-- open to ideas!); a force too connected and wide spread for the two of them to combat, technology savants or not
______________________Beyonia______________________ | ______________________Echo______________________ |
as suggested in Saborian history, they didn't know it but Saboria Prime wasn't the only ship to go back in time, their inclusion was an accident because of slip-space drifting which put their ship within the bubble of the ship that caused the time rift in an effort to go back in time to change the course of history on Earth
back in time with the group that would later become the Tellurian Trust and the Alterans (open to feedback and input on them!)
Back on Earth with technology far beyond anything seen or recorded in that time they are diligent to segregate themselves from the rest of humanity to evolve and one day help the evolution of the people the world they went back to save
the Alterans become two different factions within Atlantis.
capabilities which later become the foundation of future genetic cloning and engineering.
and long lost through various internal conflicts and outright absences in the frustration of the barbaric nature of people which continue them in an ever changing loop of the same things |
aid of Bey's memories Echo spent the next three hundred years or so in reletive solitude within a monastery that allowed her to work in peace and mingle with them in exchange for her oversight and care to their security since they themselves didn't believe in technology as a whole but understood it's growing need in increasingly war torn lands
their care taker and where she came from, why she was able to be born again and so forth; this was usually the HighPriest and his sons as they became of age to take his place
of the people and to provide assistance where needed, particularly if the corporations were again in a position of power
CTT process to record memories from most recent to oldest and transfer them in the order she would have gotten them-- of course there are still a few memories out of order from before her time
prolonged time in cryo-stasis as done by Bey
the At-verse and Javos as a viable escape option, even before the public knew the Corporate Government was thinking about fleeing
the two universes to speed up communication during the Exodus scout missions-- still a single transmission could take 1-5 years but it was better than 20!
otherwise destroyed but have likely long been forgot about since after the broadcast of the Earths last breath) |
- 2662 AD - AtVerse - Echo reaches the AtVerse: flown in on a small supply ship piloted by Thawnolan Sinclair, she sets up on Javos with the majority of the population helping to get systems up and running. She appears to be around 62 and no less capable at what she does and goes by the name of Eveline Lamencio
- For the first few decades she also begins work on the mapping Grid thought up and designed by Thawnolan based on tech made at Avation Masterpiece
- Her RAC Lab is located inside a large shuttle brought to the At-Verse via Thawnolan's ship. Echo also begins work duplicating the lab in an underground cavern on Javos. (I will add more information about this later, after/if she's accepted!)
- The seeds of what would later become the HAND movement are sewn. Multiple eyes are on the corporations forming and building their new civilization, waiting and hoping there wont be a repeat of history
- 2699 AD - AtVerse - Echo/Eveline is killed in SpaceStation Accident; at the age of 99 many said she shouldn't have even been on the site but she insisted she was still of use! Bound in a wheelchair she was working on a faulty docking system within a Javos SpaceStation when something went wrong and the airlock she was working on opened, sending her out into space and to her death. It's widely speculated if this was murder or an accident on her part though the official story remains an accident
- 2710 AD - At-Verse - Echo retrains and brings herself back up to speed: a year after dying Echo spends the next decade bringing herself back up to speed and continues to lay low on Javos as Emily LaVarjia, begining the legacy that would be the LaVarjia name. She kept her tech a secret and married only telling her husband when they were old and he was dying-- spreading rumors that there was a child in hiding to make way for her next rebirth
- 2742 AD/0 WA - AtVerse - Rumor Radio Broadcasts The World Asunder: through the satellites she learns of Earth's demise and shares with the AtVerse as the radio personality Rumor Radio; a trend she continues through the years without the knowledge of her husband; construction begins on the What-Was Museum on MistHaven Moon in memory of Earth
- 10 WA - AtVerse - The What-Was Museum on MistHaven Moon Opens; there were some unexpected delays but a decade after it's construction began the museum is complete and open for public view; the opening was small and made up of historians and the Over-Lords and Ladies and their families. Emily was known to be reclusive but most of the exhibit descriptions were composed by her. It was in some of those descriptions she added personal details of how she acquired it, and in them hinted to a child she and her husband planned to have
- 57 WA - AtVerse - HAND movement erupts among the working class; no one seems to know where it came from but in the wake of increasing use of Convicts on Hailos and other Planets of Industry, concerns of worker rights and wellfare boil out of control and Humanity Against Nazi Delegations (HAND) flyers and posters pop up everywhere demanding the people stand up against corporate control. This is spawned with rumors that people are being convicted of minor crimes to make up for labor shortages caused by various accidents man and nature made
- 88 WA - AtVerse - Echo/Emily dies, again; shortly after her husbands death Emily (age 89) dies of an allergenic reaction to a Javos fruit (suggestions welcome!) reportedly leaving the entire family fortune and collection of Earth antiques, relics and artifacts to her not yet seen daughter, Echonia
- 89-90 WA - AtVerse - Echo debuts to the At-Verse as the young Echonia LaVarjia: a year after her rebirth and two years after her "death" she emerges from the shadow as the pilote mannered What-Was Heiress, roughly 20 year old Echonia. She does so during an 80 year celebration of the Museums opening and in tribute to her loving parents who sheltered her because they cared. She used that avenue to address the public with promises of her support to the people. Lady Echonia charmed them with assurances no one need believe her, all they had to do was wait and see.
- 113 WA - AtVerse - Lady Echonia Vis named Mother Matron of the People: through public and private auctions (some held on Midway) of her family heir looms and antiques Lady Echonia has raised funds to help support better conditions for the convicts of the Blackrock Penal Moon and to bring fresh goods to the struggling families of the POI where fresh foods are less common among common folk
Altarens = Group of advanced humans who used genetic engineering and modification to further evolve the human race, their race, rather than work on the problems and evolution of the world they originally went back in time to save (welcome to more input on them!)
Consciousness Transfer Technology (CTT) = Using the same technology found in the COR and it's functionality, the CTT transfers the recorded consciousness (electrical impulses) into the new host by stimulating those connections in the blank/cloned mind; the more memories being transferred the longer this process takes; temporary sedation and or paralysis is required; currently this technology is designed specifically for one specific biological imprint (Echo and her many aliases) which is why when the electrical impulses are re-made in the blank mind, there are very few interpretive errors where the memories are skewed (like a corrupt file the brain doesn't know how to read); it is speculating attempting to use these pieces of tech to take memories from someone else would result in a schizophrenic outcome in the receiving mind.
COR (Consciousness Oversight Recorder) = Key component of the CTT; process requires temporary sedation and or paralysis; there are what look like ear-muffs, worn which actually house the memory recording receptors (MMR); the MRR's are like technological tongues of various sensors and stimulator which enter in through the ear canal to the brain; from there the brain is stimulated into going through all memories which is thus recorded via the electrical impulses of the brain exactly as they happen; sedation or paralysis is required because the forced firing of those electrical impulses of memory, including muscle memory, would otherwise send her into convulsions which could cause severe damage; a copy of all data is sent to the RAC lab through an encrypted data-stream (sometimes hardline, sometimes open wave)
New Eden Explosion = New Eden was a community of researchers and historians who lived in an almost cultish collective. It's assumed they were allowed to be as they were because they contributed to many medical and technological advances up to the day in 2333 AD (Earth) when the entire community was bombed. Hundreds died and centuries of records and research were destroyed crippling them and sending them on a path that fueled Earths demise (open to ideas about this!)
HAND (Humanity Against Nazi Delegations) = an underground movement most common among the working class of people on the Planets of Industry (POI) who are struggling against the grip of the corporations that employ them or in some cases enslave them through indentured servitude. It also refers to the core founders (presumably passed from generation to generation) of five, maybe six members of various stations who secretly fund and push the HAND agenda from their respective and collective positions (I would LOVE to see this be a thing with played members! And yes, Echo is the founding memeber)
Mother Matron of the People = an award given to humanitarians and philanthropists who make a big difference in the lives of the common people, for men the title is Father Patron of the People.
Rapid Aged Clone (RAC) = Process which speeds up the physical human evolution from it's infant state to the approximate maturity of an adult (18-20); this process requires a minimum of 3 months infantile incubation time and another 8 months of incubation growth to maturity; this process requires a reserve of necessary elemental components that made up an adult human and the technology to stimulate the cells into this rapid growth and development; the evolution of the chemical compositions of base elements from it's environment does cause for very slight variations between clones which can can result in a subtle difference of pigmentation in hair, eyes and skin or the specific weight dencity of her bone and tissue.
RAC Lab = The physical location where the Re-birthing process takes place; there are always three of them in functioning order as backups but only one online at any given time; if one lab does not respond to a ping the next lab is tried before information is sent or the lab is brought online to begin the Re-birth process
Re-birth Process = Because the clones are made of living tissue just like any human, they are only made when necessary to avoid complications with a body in stasis; the incubation time before a clone can be given a consciousness through the CTT, is approximately 11 months; the acclimation time to reteach the nubile body can range from 3 months to years depending on the skill.
Tellurian Trust = Observers of history and background nudges of the technology boom of 2303 AD (Earth)
What-Was Museum (on MistHaven Moon) = a large museum of antiques, relics and artifacts from the Earth that was before the World Asunder (see below for pictures and details!)
Located on MistHaven Moon because of it's atmospheric security
It was opened in 10 WA by Lady Emily LaVarjia and her Husband among staff
and historians who were eager to see the At-Verses largest single collection
of Earth relics, artifacts and antiques on display
Items on display include old fighter jets, space ships, early pulse pistols, armor
photography, paintings, scuptures etc
The Current Matron of the Museum, Lady Echonia LaVarjia is constantly adding
and changing the displays with archived items not yet seen and new items
picked up in her many searches across the At-Verse to bring it all
under one roof.
There are regular shuttles from Javos to the Museum free of charge for the
public and common folk to get a chance to see the wonders of the
What-Was Museum; a glimpse into Earth before The World Asunder
... more will be added later ...
