Avesta the Protogen

Avesta the Protogen is a special anthropomorphic lizard-robot model “Avesta“ who was created as a regular office assistant (checking documents, burning papers, cleaning), although mostly her “coworkers” used her to satisfy their needs and abused her every way possible. During the leak of a virus that kills everything biological, she was left in an isolated area of the city. She was able to survive in extreme conditions thanks to the fire filters in her lungs scraps from other models, but contact with infected lichen is still fatal to her. Avesta is inferior in many ways to more advanced models of protogens, since it was built for primitive tasks, but it was able to improve itself and greatly distance itself from the program.

Avesta is 1,70 meters high, has brown fur, purple lights on her screen face, has a flame insignia on her hips, black claws, a tail adorned with glowing purple spikes, a pair of purple-tipped horns-like antennas, and has the ability to emit fire from her back. The screen can show her eyes, simple figures and also shows a little emotions. Her bat-like pointy ears are still visible from behind the screen. Although her body has many biological features, organs and joints have many metal prosthetics added to them.

Avesta is female lizard-like species, refers to herself as female and has feminine anatomy and features. Despite the fact that her brain is mixed with a small computer, she is capable of expressing emotions, feelings and her own opinion, which is why she can sometimes make a mistake or become attached to a person. This all makes her a good colleague but it played a bad joke on her when the virus killed almost all of her superiors and team, specifically her kindhearted lover, Zend the Protogen(blue palette, snowflake insignia on his hip). Avesta is still capable of negotiations, but due to a long time being by herself and extreme survival conditions, she wouldn't hesitate to attack anyone who stands in her way.

Avesta relies heavily on her face screen to communicate, for example, using question marks(❓) when she's curious and other symbols(🌧️,✨,💜) when she's feeling emotional.

Surviving in an abandoned area, Avesta searches for a cure for the virus by attacking any intelligent machine or creature. However, she is not doing this only for herself. She wants to pull Zend's cybernetic body out of coma, allowing his immune system to deal with the virus.

Over time, Avesta’s system has learned to tolerate pain and even get a strange pleasure from it, but she is not a masochist. Her methods may be brutal, but she would not pass by the unfair sight of the weak being beaten. She is stubborn and goal-oriented. At first she may seem rude, but she is simply straightforward, although there are hints of impudence. She often neglects her safety, and survival in extreme conditions forced her to live each day as if it were her last. However, she believes that she and Zend will be able to get through these hard times. Avesta feels antipathy towards humans, due to the disdainful attitude towards her during work, but she understands that those coworkers were also treated no better. She tries to appear strong and independent, but she just wants the danger to pass quickly and for Zend to be able to stand on his feet again.
