[LILY]

post–bad times. shitty because i'm sick.

cw for self-harm and suicidal ideation:

"It's not like I'm actively self-harming. It's just..."

Don't. Don't look up. You don't want to see their face. You are unworthy of their pity, their care. When did you get so weak? Or were you always like this, a sniveling coward who wants for more than they deserve? A breath sticks to your throat; you choke it down before it can choke you.

"It's knowing you're going to trip and doing nothing to catch yourself." Your voice is detached, light, like you're discussing the weather instead of your damaged psyche. Let them be horrified. Their revulsion would be easier to stomach. "There's no—when you're drowning, the instinct to swim isn't there. You have to make yourself paddle." The corner of your mouth quirks. "It feels more effort than it's worth, sometimes."

the organization that created Lily originally specialized in making war machines. only recently did they expand into tools of espionage and infiltration. Lily was part of the first batch that survived every test. Trojan horses, as they tentatively are called, are less recognizable as synthetic organisms than the war machine models.

〈 Gallowglass 〉
— genderfluid AFAB. any pronouns.
— appears to be a fully grown adult.
— African leopard. the surface of their polished body is made entirely of durable, pale-grey metal. the rosettes are uniform and geometric, joined by sharp, clean lines akin to a circuit board; cyan blue, the same shade as their irises. text on the back of their neck reads "SO-THETA-5." tall and sinewy.
— protective of their community; wholly focused on the safety of the people they've sworn to protect. disillusioned by the state of the world and scorns "Band-Aid solutions"; advocates definitive practices that leave no room for error or relapse. a tad militant. asocial and aloof. perceptive and shrewd.
— escaped war machine.
— earth elemental and enhanced senses.

〈 thoughts 〉
— Gallowglass would be such a sick name.
— the organization (which i should really find a name for) created the first synthetics in batches of ten. each batch was designated a letter from the Greek alphabet; each individual was numbered 1 through 10, regardless of the total who survived the tests. upon reaching the last letter, they restarted the alphabet with the next ten numbers. synthetics built for open combat are designated "SO" for soldier; synths built for infiltration are designated "SP" for spy. an individual's designation can be found on their nape; soldiers also have a cyan-blue "circuit board" pattern across their entire body like tattoos, while spies' are neon orange and constrained to their necks. i don't know how coherent (or final) this is.
— SO-THETA-5 is the unnamed character in Rev's new group.
— Lily is SP-BETA-9.
