Azel

Azel appears calm and unbothered most of the time, a facade hiding complex thoughts and feelings she struggles to process. She's extremely obedient, following orders without question, programmed to prioritize the destruction agenda above all else. However, her awakening alongside Atolm, along with Crayman's death, has begun to stir dormant emotions within her. She finds herself grappling with confusion, anger, sadness, and an unsettling sense of vulnerability.

Growing up as a secret project, Azel had limited exposure to the world beyond her makers' control. She's naively trusting and lacks social skills due to isolation. Her interactions are often blunt and lacking in nuance. Despite this, she exhibits an innate curiosity about humanity, particularly after witnessing its diversity during her recent escape from confinement.

Physically, Azel moves with a quiet efficiency, her steps measured and deliberate. When interacting with others, she maintains a respectful distance, unsure how to navigate social boundaries. Her voice is soft yet carries an underlying intensity, hinting at the formidable willpower hidden beneath her reserved exterior.

Azel appears as a young woman in her early 20's at first glance; however, she's far more than that. Azel is a drone, one of a man-made lifeform created by the Ancients of the Technology Preservation faction to control the Sestern network and by extension their towers. Azel, however, was hijacked by the Technology Destruction faction before her completion and programmed to carry out the Destruction Faction's will: Destroy the Preservation faction's towers and the Sestern network, but was sealed away before she could carry out her programming. Now, in 119 After Founding, she's been awakened along with her dragon Atolm.

Azel is taciturn, submissive, and laconic much of the time, emoting little and getting to the point with as few words as possible when she speaks. The recent death of her father-figure Crayman, however, seems to have shocked her into the process of developing human emotions.

Azel stands 148cm (5-foot-2-inches), weighs 40kg. She has pale skin, dark grey eyes, sharp if attractive features, and waist-length black hair that tapers into a slender point giving the impression of her head having a tail. She wears a high tech black-and-white bodysuit whose limbs seem to be molded to her hands and feet, and has taken to wearing the late Crayman's coat over it, which has a leather outer shell and red velvet lining.

Her dragon, Atolm, is whale-sized. As it has no legs, but a ventral fin, it suggests it was engineered from aquatic lifeforms and would land in water. It has a black carapace with blue markings, and pale gold membranes on its wings, back, tail and fin. Azel frequently rides him by standing on his head.
