Orwell

Orwell is a character in The Grand Mashup

Biography:
From the point of conception, Orwell was intended to be one of the honorable human-computer hybrids that are the foundation of her society. Her genetic sequence was carefully chosen from trillions of combinations for intelligence, brilliance, and imagination. Her impregnated cells were artificially implanted in an ideal host mother, whose diet, temperature, and emotional status were all regulated to near-perfection.

Catherine Orwell was born without a hitch, wherein the computerization process immediately began. Her vocal chords, eyes, eardrums, ovaries, and various hormone-emitting glands were surgically removed. She was then submerged in growth solutions, breathing and feeding tubes, along with brain implants designed to give mental stimuli, were inserted to maintain her health over the next six months, wherein she would mature to approximately a 25-year-old human.

At the end of this second incubation period, she was finally hooked up to the computerized system she would control. Her circulatory system was replaced with metal tubes, her fleshy nerves replaced with a wired ones. She was rigged to the machine, and she became one with it. Before long, she was managing economies, organizing interstellar wars, and running scientific models. However, everyone knows how this story ends; she suddenly disappeared.

Description:
If not for the computerization process, Orwell would have been a beautiful woman. Her eyes would have been a brilliant green, contrasting her ghostlike, pale skin. Instead, however, the empty sockets are deep and sunken, unseeing and uncomprehending. She has no hair, besides the wires and tubes that are hooked up to her brain, along with other tubes linked throughout her entire body. Like all human supercomputers, she was wearing a white jumpsuit, which she was wearing when she was taken.

Her personality is equal parts tormented madman and logical computer. Most of her conceptions of morality and philosophy are utilitarian.

Weapons/Abilities:
Orwell may be deaf, blind, and mute, but she is not without powers of her own. She can use any hardware or software her nervous system is hooked up to, be it a laptop, an entire city’s electrical grid, or another being’s nervous system. She can do this via unconnected tubes from the result of being taken and through wires that she can extend through her fingertips. Which leads to a second important ability: she can extend or shorten almost all tubes that stick outside her body, which could be used as makeshift whips or simply to give her a little room from what she’s interfacing with. She also has an incredibly high level of intelligence, and has experience running entire civilizations.

Partnership
Orwell is paired with Abraham. Their tentacles are fused together, The Tormentor specifically chose to pair them up as it would mean Orwell remains effectively deaf and blind throughout the battle.
