Harken

Harken is a giant, mechanical-looking yellow construct with long limbs, standing slightly taller than an average citizen. Her head is shaped like a cube, featuring only one large eye that is always closed. Two metal pins run horizontally across her cheeks, with another visible on her neck. Her torso has an unusual shape—its bottom right is cut off, while the left side curves downward to the right, then back to the left. When enraged, Harken’s large eye opens, revealing a green iris split by a black line. During this state, her cube-shaped head splits into three sections, with the division slanting downward to the right. Harken is a female construct originating from a different dimension. She possesses an extremely heightened sense of hearing but is also very sensitive—able to detect even the slightest sound. In her home dimension, sound signifies death, as stronger constructs produce significant noise. Because of this, Harken perceives noise as dangerous. She kills innocent citizens not out of bloodlust, but for her own survival, driven by fear for her life. During one incident, scientists entered her reality and extracted her at the government’s demand. While transporting her, they generated excessive noise, causing Harken to become enraged and slaughter all the scientists. She then escaped and has since been killing civilians in an effort to silence the world around her. Harken is a silent and detached entity, rarely ever speaking or reacting unless provoked by overwhelming stimuli. She remains constantly hyper-aware of her surroundings, her senses sharpened to unnatural levels by the dimension she came from. Her behavior is driven not by malice, but by deep-rooted fear—an instinctual response to overstimulation. Every noise, every movement, every vibration is a potential threat in her mind. This fear manifests in her cold, unresponsive demeanor, making her seem distant and inhuman. But beneath the stillness lies a creature perpetually on edge, haunted by the sound of a world that never stops. She likes: Silence, stillness, isolation, dim quiet places, and the sharp awareness her senses give her. She dislikes: Noise, voices, machines, physical contact, and being observed or studied.
