Zipper

A P P E A R A N C E

The black dread in the pit of her stomach, that sense that she was about to get herself killed, swelled into a sickening premonition of impending doom. Zipper's knees went weak and wobbly, and the part of her that feared the tyrant gods wanted to bolt down the corridor and flee but she was too late -
the sales girl returned with yet another ill-colored dress.
Image
There's an uncanny way Zipper carries herself that makes her feel older than her 20 arcs. It's in her rigid, too-perfect soldier's posture and the conservative style of fashion she favours outside uniform: all gloves and stockings and long sleeved blouses and every excuse to shield as much delicate skin behind conservative flair.

It's in the tired bags under the eyes that follow her for the better part of the week, and it's in the way those same eyes just don't seem to blink all that much, if at all. It's in that piercing stare that stabs straight through you and the absent way she keeps rubbing her arms and her palms and the few patches of uncovered skin she can reach, almost as if trying to scrub away at some unseen stain.

It's in the way she's just a little too neat, too put-together, too presentable all the damn time, and it's in the nigh-pathological way she will always choose to stand over seating down, as if she can't bear to let her bum touch some foreign, germy seat. It's in the frozen hint of a beam on her face that never quite seems to blossom into a full-blown flower of a smile, and it's in the accusatory frown she sports when she can't even be bothered trying to pretend. It's in the, despite any attempt at feigning civility, implied aggression and simmering rage and neurotic discomfort she exudes with every little nuance of body language.

It is, on occasion, in the shivering sense that one is talking to something deeply, deeply avian rather than a young woman; something that looks good soaring in the winds, but with an unimaginable streak of viciousness once you invade the easily breached comfort zone that is her proverbial nest.

At 5 foot 8 inches and 140 pounds, with a sleek build somewhere between runner and dancer, Zipper is an athletic, fetching young lady who should have no trouble having her pick of suitors - but those not intimidated away by her strange intensity and her pricklish, foul-mouthed belligerence and her excessive stoicism and her relentless horde of idiosyncrasies, those hunting for the spoils of the bed over their better instincts, have found a lady -and the term is used as loosely as possible here- with time for only one real courtship in her life: the work, and she don't just be meaning her professional development.

Zipper

P E R S O N A L I T Y

"Don't know which is worse: watching her slowly rage towards you like an impeccably styled earthquake or popping out of nowhere like a sudden, seething landslide."
―Robin Stark, Black Guard Officer AKA Colleague-in-Suffering
Image
Zipper can be nice, Zipper can be amiable, Zipper can be the bloody saint-anointed mascot of good cheer and easy charm - when she remembers to be, and her memory has a tendency to rapidly deteriorate when faced with the laundry list of perceived grievances that reality has seen fit to inflict on her. She hates small talk, she hates physical contact, she hates bureaucracy, she hates puppies and kittens and children, all huge eyes and mewling wastes of space. She hates the idea that anyone can make an appointment, a cherished mutually-agreed social contract if there ever was one, and dare fail to be punctual. She hates the little delays in life, the little, lost trills that add up to not-so-little lost bits that, in turn, swell into breaks and trials that she will never get back. She hates that people come in a thousand and one varieties, and she hates that they don’t perform and behave in a predictable, rational manner. She hates the gods, a hate that far transcends mere etzorian propaganda, and above all else, she hates unseemliness and untidiness; she hates that dirt and grime and murk and ill-conceived decor can’t actually be bullied into assisted suicide. She hates and she hates and she hates-

When Zipper says she despises everything, it is only mild hyperbole.

Other people have moods; Zipper almost exclusively has states of wrath: icy courtesy, stern professionalism, quiet hostility, thinly veiled annoyance, surly grumpiness, seething exasperation, simmering anger, frothing rage, an almost zen tantrum trance that has been unfavorably likened to what a volcano would look and sound like if it decided to become a serial rapist, and then there's something beyond that, something so terrible it reaches high into the divine and roots deep into Faldrun’s Domain of absolute turmoil: the complete and utter silence of someone who has truly snapped.

Wrath is her bludgeon and her cudgel, her rusted razor and assassin's dagger, her carrot and stick, her sword and shield - she’s a one-trick social pony, and one with a lame hoof at that, but she knows how to use her solo means of expression as a well-honed swiss knife: to bully, to mock, to intimidate, to threaten, to pressure, to shame, to rally, to mislead others into thinking she's nothing more than a short-sighted, volatile hothead guided by short-sighted, volatile impulses.

Well, she is - but we all have depths, no?

If there’s a sliver of real joy inside her, it ain’t ever showing through. Catching her in an actual good way is like trying to catch a unicorn: going on a fool’s quest to hunt for something both clearly mythological and extremely patronizing to virgins. But what happens when you do find the fabled beast and open it from breast to groin? Do you find a young woman so determined to treat the world the way it has treated her and hers that she knows no other way to confront it? Do you find a studious, book-smart girl hiding no small amount of social awkwardness behind social hostility, opting to face every day in a guise of strength rather than weakness, to project some semblance of control lest she admits that she has none? Do you find a little lady trying to make sense of a world bent on contradiction? Or is there simply nothing underneath the ire: just a rotten claw reaching out from a hollow pit where the dead go to die, trying to cling to the one thing that feels like it could be real to the rest of the world? Could one brand of social dysfunction be brandished to hide another much, much more alien one?

Maybe there's a bit of gospel to each of it, but the unifying source for it all might just be a bit more bizarre.

In truth, Zipper could be the poster child for the developmental dangers of an initiation too early. An etherist since she was seven, her worldview has been more wholly shaped by the rigours of Transmutation than they have by her childhood peers in the Etzos orphanage. She sees the world in terms of the expressed truths of Qualities and hated Flaws - and there are way too many Flaws to suffer it as it is right now. The ratio is unbalanced. The world isn't spinning as fast as it could go. Half the cogs are rusted, the other half turning in the wrong direction. There's dirt and grime and mud clogging up the framework of the world - needless conflict, naked diversions of venality, power serving for the sake of power, petty violence, wasted resources, ignorance unending, the bowing and scraping before undeserved authority, and the blind leading the blind. There's a poison in the foundation of the world, she thinks, and it urgently needs an antidote.

There's no good and bad in Zipper's world, only efficiency and the absence of it, only solutions and the problems they solve, only assets and liabilities, only knowledge and how its applied, only self-actualized potential and those that give themselves over to parasitism and excess. Anything less than that... just isn't real enough for her - and she desperately needs the world to be real, to be more than the meaningless, misused byproduct of Emea's exhaust pipe. To be more than a cycle of a necrosis, a status quo of rot replacing rot replacing rot replacing rot.

If nothing else, Zipper is principled. Morally vacant, sure, but, perhaps paradoxically, possessed of some pretty rigid principles. One could say she's honourable even, for a given definition of the term. She deeply values responsibility, loyalty, charity, excellence, discipline, gratitude, even the rare friendship here and there - but there's always a bit of an alien slant to each of it. Always something off to her very special interpretation of what one would call a code of ethics. It's often calculated, ritualistic, and completely ignorant or unconcerned with the spirit of the concept - at the best of times. Zipper is capable of doing a great deal of good - and all the reasons are the wrong ones. Not necessarily bad ones, just the wrong ones.

Because Zipper's not a sociopath, no, no, no, she's something so much more destructive than a two-dimensional psycho in the thrall of a mental ailment that keeps them small: she's an idealist. Worse: she's an idealist that thinks she can fix the world in its entirety. Underneath all her bite and sourness and rampant cynicism is someone who genuinely believes in change for the greater good. In fact, Zipper's an idealist that maybe -just maybe- one day might possess the tools to take a genuine shot at utopia - and inevitably fail. Because where it really, really, really matters, compromise is poison to Zipper. Because there is no all-solving hammer of a solution to the world, and Zipper will never accept that. Because anything Zipper creates will dismiss the human element as arbitrary crap. Because her motives for fixing the world are simply an extension of her anal sense of technical perfection, and there is not a single shred of altruism in it. Because Zipper has no interest in rulership; she's an architect that grows and builds and fixes and if that isn't enough, if it doesn't hit the standards despite all that, then the project was flawed to begin with: off to the trash bin and back to the drawing board. Because Transmutation is more than Qualities and Flaws, it's also steeped in shaping and unmaking - and she sees no relevant difference between either, sees no actual distinction between the healing doctor and the slaying assassin.

A tool for every task. A man -or woman- for every job. Nothing more - and in a perfect world, in a better world, she would be every tool for every task. Alas, no person can play every role. Let's add one more item onto the laundry list of spite in light of that: Zipper hates delegation; she hates that she needs it.

But ultimately, the real reason she won't tell herself is this: Zipper's a hypocrite of the highest order.

Strip Zipper of her neurotic whining and her preening and her amorality and the posturing about a better, cleaner world. Strip her of technical excellence and her rage and her brother and all her talk about pragmatism and every other color that makes the woman till you get a blank slate with a smudge on it. That's level 1, that's the foundation, that's the stone the rest of tower was built upon.

And Zipper's foundation is built upon a 7 arc old girl fighting an ether missile while it drives her deeper and deeper into Emea. Zipper's foundation is built upon the joy and relief when she smashed through, tears and pain, and came out an etherist.

And then the subsequent dissatisfaction.

She misses it. She will always miss it. She misses that turbulence that was the forge of her creation. Zipper will never succeed because there are no victory conditions for her; the struggle is life itself. The struggle is the struggle for its own sake. Her belligerent nature towards everything is founded upon wanting to jump back into the scorch and chill of the Emean swirl, and her nigh-combative approach to everything in life is a semi-subconscious attempt at recreating it.

In the end, Zipper is a Transmutator and a Transmutator seeks the truth - and her truth is progress through a baptism of fire, the truth of her is the dragonslayer - and she is nothing if there are no dragons -good or bad, real or imagined- to slay. Because Zipper will try to cook up a dragon in a lab before admitting there's nothing left to put to the sword. Because, deep down in her heart of hearts, Zipper knows she will never be content standing on the ashes of her foes big and small; it's never, ever been about them. It's her. It's always been her: climbing, climbing, climbing, looking for a peak that says "okay, that's enough. This is it. The be all and end all."

Power's just a word, what she wants is something much, much more abstract. What she wants she just doesn't know how to express or obtain. What she wants is to defy causality with a bang, to inscribe the fact of herself into the very surface of Emea itself-

No. It's not love, you fuckwit.

For all her intelligence, for all her potential, for all the personal power she aspires to and will wield, for all of her inner mental posturing about Transmutation's ability to grasp the world in its truest form, about its place above both the other Domain magics and the divine scraps they call blessings, Fiona Zippomaria O'Connor ultimately-

Just. Doesn't. Get It.

"Sis, what's the saddest thing you've ever seen?"

"Etzos."
Image
Orphan, sister, street rat, thief, the world's worst grifter, bookie, unadoptable menace, rejected doctor's apprentice, part-time accountant for a bunch of feckless thugs, one-time Seeker neophyte, etzori caster and, finally, black guard officer. There's some part of Zipper that muses that she could spin all that into some kind of cheap, derivative story of redemption, of a little girl borne into the gutters of crime clawing her way to legitimacy, finding meaning in the service of policing for the people, the strong, forgiving arms of civilization beckoning her back into the radiant light of the human condition. But that's all it is, isn't it? Cheap, derivative, and above all else, bull frickin' crap. The truth is Zipper was happier -fine, less miserable- on the other side of the law, but one circumstantial stumble after another had landed her as yet another shackled mage under Vuda's shadow regime.

Finn thinks she sold out, y'know? Gave in to the blackjacks like a mangy cur, and she just doesn't have the heart to tell him the truth of it, that she's a glorified arcane slave rather than a turncoat. But we're getting ahead of ourselves a bit, so let's go back to the beginning:

It was a dark and stormy night. Felt like it anyway, when your mum ditches you with a wailing newborn you want to smother and a spark untested. Zaira O'Connor was a mage who bit off more than she could chew, pissed off the kind of people you wanted to keep a town's distance away from at minimum, and wisely decided to bail, ditching her lameass kids at an orphanage near you. Mother of the arc, ladies and gentlemen. If you're reading this, Pash: take a note. Anyway, Zaira decided that her daughter had a better shot at life with a bit of a, shall we say, magical edge. So as something of a parting gift, she initiated her into Transmutation, the art of making and breaking. One break of ether missile-flavoured physical trauma and a whole lot of gibberish to the tune of "Mummy, mummy, nooooo! I'll be good, mummy! Stop, mummy!" and Zipper, to keep a long story short, emerged a Transmutator at the ripe old age of seven. Zaira even stayed long enough for her open wailing to recede into bitter, ugly sobbing. You go, Zaira ol' girl, which, incidentally, is exactly what she did. Forever. Never to be seen again. When I put your deets in as a memory NPC, I'm putting it on Finn's tab. Suck it, bozo.

The subsequent few years of newly-minted orphanhood went by slower than Zipper would care to admit. Between taking care of Finn, fantasizing about smothering Finn (in her defence, he never quite graduated from needlessly loud baby in his 13 arcs of life), foolishly plotting to escape the wondrous candyland that is parentless poverty, and doing everything in her own power to sabotage her own social development, time moved like a snail. She was never the most outgoing girl before even before the initiation. The studious type, yes, the kind of kid who hides in her shell reading what little books she could find, rebuffing offers to play, and generally doing everything in her power to stay invisible. The kind of sullen kid desperately in need of personal space, so incredibly appalled by the hygiene standards of the world around her.

But with Transmutation... Oh, there was a shift, alright. There was a big shift. She reached out, not to her peers, but to the idea of dynamic, productive change, steps to improve her and her brother's position, one nel at a time. It started with a slight bit of thievery, a bit of applied corrosion to worn-out pockets, and it escalated from petty magic-fueled thievery. She got into fights, ran with the kids on the wrong side of the tracks, then she just ran: became a tiny drug runner before she hit her eleventh arc day for a two-bit gang.

Killed a boy before her twelfth.

She'll say it was to protect her brother from a bully and maybe, just maybe, she might even believe it in her weaker moments. But the truth of it is she did it because she saw a problem, an opportunity, and a solution - and she took it. She did it to make a point to herself. She did it, because, she saw it as a staging ground - practice. The boy was a loudmouth, a harasser, and worst of all, unwashed - putting him out his misery made their immediate world an undeniably better place. What she did that day was simply a microcosm of what she planned to accomplish when her spark grew strong, strong, strong. Finn was, she would tell herself, an incidental spectator in his own victimhood. Her motives were pure: it was an act of cleansing, not something as inconsistent as sisterly instinct.

Regardless, she learned a lot that day. Learned a lot about herself, about such fun trivia like the insane durability of the human spine and the heights and/or blunt force it will take to even dent it. Learned that she deeply regretted that she couldn't take back her choice if she wanted, not because of guilt, oh, no, no, but simply because she lacked the means, the know-how, the skills to unbreak the egg she cracked. Transmutation had no power over flesh-

But medicine just might.

To put this whole bizarre event into blunt perspective: her ultimate conclusion on killing a boy in cold blood was to aspire to become a doctor.

WILL REWRITE THE LAST 3 PARAGRAPHS - The Etzorian orphanage takes care of you till you're 14, then you're adopted or you're out. If nothing else, Zipper's quite insistent on the idea of them being adopted together, and has spent quite a great deal of effort into pretending to be a - actually, she didn't need to pretend much at all. Apparently, prospective parents aren't all that keen into adopting a troublemaking bundle of rage who won't let you touch her. Soooooo she was out.

After a failed stint as a prospective healer's apprentice, where she was dismissed for, I quote, having the bedside manner of a cannibal swamp caiman, she went back to what she knew: the wholesome wing of crime. And that might have been the end of the story, if not for what came next. The details grow sketchy here, but it starts with a hazy recruitment of what would be the initial iteration of an attempt at a seeker cell in Etzos. And like all factions not mentioned in the present narrative, naturally, it all went to shit. But hey, she got attunement out of the deal. Regardless, it was a half arc she never once talked about, and when the the seekers got extinguished and chased and loads of unpleasant stuff, Zipper got what all prospective young mages got: drafted into the etzori army.

And from there she learned. She grew meaner, she grew more dissatisfied, she grew smarter and, with some proper guidance, she grew her magic. She found a place in the guard, and she grew goals that she never thought she would have, and she grew this tiny paragraph a lot too.
Starter Quest
What a foul-mouthed, cynical troublemaker you've been, Fiona. A naughty child, a bad seed, and a poor influence to young Finnegan. You've lied, cheated, stolen, murdered, blasphemed... The list goes on. But the one thing you've done right is learned to use your Spark. Rely on that Spark, Fiona, and use it to improve your standing. Poverty isn't your home. Hunger isn't your default state of being. Learn the world, and then use your magic to shape it to be what YOU want, not what THEY want. Discover the natural qualities, and turn those against those that would shackle you with duty, boredom and an annoying little brother. Change the world, Fiona, or die with it.

Toolbane

(DJ Approved)

Granted incredible precision and creativity in the way something unravels, the authenticity of her Corrosion’s faux damage will more than hold up to above-average scrutiny when compared to the real thing – but not at all to the gaze of a skilled Attuner.

But the forgery of reality isn't the only boon granted by Toolbane: Zipper’s Corrosion seems to do its work much, much faster and with a greater deal of strength. Additionally, her Corrosion seems to be especially virulent when she wants it to be, continuing to linger up to a bit after her initial touch, spreading out and beyond from the area of contact to corrode, corrode, corrode like wildfire – though with mounting depreciation as the bit goes on.

Cosmophage

(DJ Approved)
While many mages acquire curious dietary eccentricities due to their mutations, Zipper’s just might take the cake (ha) for being one of the most bizarre. The Transmutator’s Palate, the mental canvas on which the Qualities of the world are copied, archived, regurgitated, and then inscribed onto objects to create magical items is one of the hallmarks of the Etherist. In the case of this awakening, the Transmutator’s Palate is quite literal: in lieu of proper food, Zipper eats Qualities.
trials.

As her Spark borders on the zenith of her Transmutation prowess, even the option of organic food and water becomes lost to her. Eating and drinking become physically impossible rather than simply an unpleasant alternative; her body will violently reject anything that would be considered nourishment for any other human being. Likewise, her ability to feed off the Qualities of food and beverage can no longer properly replenish her.

Instead her diet turns towards, water excluded, the inorganic and the post-organic.

Most other traits from the earlier stage of the mutation remain the same, albeit tuned towards materials rather than meals, save for one: Zipper can only dine on the Quality of things that she already possesses in her Palate – perhaps the Spark’s drive to take in the world, to expand the Palate without end kicked into overdrive, to force the otherwise prudent Zipper to venture outside her comfort zone where the Transmutator can truly shine. Whether it’s feeding off the strength of a freshly forged steel sword, rendering it brittle and dead before its first swing, or sapping the heat of fire and leaving it burning cold and without life, Zipper has to have it committed to her Palate before she can dig in. She literally has to be what she eats.

Unless stated otherwise within a thread, the possessed Quality is assumed to be steel.

Emean Corruptions & Mutations

Absense

Obtained here

By drawing the etheric essence of an Emean being into herself, Zipper has taken yet another step away from Idalosian reality and it is literally reflected in what she lacks; she has no reflection, no shadow, no lasting physical record of her image. No mirror she passes will grace her, no puddle she steps across will record her stride, no light will find the silhouette of her shadow. Any attempt to sketch, draw, craft, paint, sculpt or artistically recreate her likeness in some manner or form will find that the work self-sabotages itself at every step of the way, almost as if even trying to capture the memory of her is a cursed ordeal. The end product of anything that uses her image as its foundation will inevitably result in a surreal, haphazard, shapeless mess of color; even if color wasn’t used in its creation.

But the most peculiar part of this Emea-triggered mutation is that Zipper seems to be beneath the perception of any idalosian entity without an etheric connection to Emea; any creature that lacks the ability to dream can’t seem to properly perceive her, and the most common among this group’s number are the mundane animals of Idalos - with the unusual exception of true insects. Zipper is neither invisible nor obscured from ether-challenged sight, but her existence is muted to their senses. She walks amongst them ignored, eludes their recollection once she has left their physical presence, and there is a nigh-supernatural lack of attention paid to her so long as she doesn’t put in a moderate amount of effort to draw it to herself.

A pursuing scent hound struggles to consistently find her scent on the trail, picking it up and losing it at regular intervals, eventually losing it completely. An eagle will never pick her up from the sky. Timid rats scamper freely around her rather than flee down their holes. The woods will chatter on as she walks through them, oblivious to her passing. Zipper will never properly ride a horse or train a dog with this mutation in place, and no amount of prodigious skill with Animal Training will bypass the fact that any and every animal won’t even remember who she is the very moment they lose sight of her.

That being said, there’s nothing stopping a skilled trainer from directing a sufficiently trained animal to attack her, even if said animal is perplexed by what exactly it's trying to maul.

Key Items

1) Rayna's Notebook:
The covert pride and glory of Rayna's long-time intelligence gathering efforts in Etzos acquired by Zipper in 716. Inside the notebook is an astonishingly detailed number of entries on Etzori army officers and soldiers alike, both in and outside Rayna's wing of the army. There's even a section on the four Marshals of Etzos, though the findings in that segment are superficial at best. Although more than a few seasons out of date by the arc 717, with more than several of the entry members having either died, retired, or moved on to less hazardous vocations, the notebook continues to provide surprisingly accurate information where it counts. Zipper occasionally updates it to better reflect current intel, but her intense personal annoyance at the unacceptable stylistic clash of Rayna's handwriting and her own has left the notebook mostly unaltered.

The contents of the notebook seem to also extend to before Rayna's time in the military, containing her formative thoughts on how children respond to stimuli both positive and negative, rigid tips on how to socialize with other children, a trial and error checklist on which lies worked on which childhood peer, an objective assessment on the best ways to dispose a body in Etzos, in-depth notes on a variety of dissected animals, and a whole load of other innocent childhood musings.
