Powers	Architect Precursor Interface *Ra-La is a 'hybrid' in genetics only, since Architect dna is made up of hundreds of other species as well as energy-based cybernetics. She has a 'pure' father and a 'human' mother who has also been placed into an Architect body. Unlike plenty of other half-breed types, Ra-La is still basically all-Architect all the time. Only she has eyes! And a mouth! However what this does for her is it allows her to convert energy sources, alter her physical configuration, and fully interface with virtually any computer system including biological ones like brains. -- Telekinesis - she has a very strong field of energy surrounding herself that acts as both a sensory organ and a manipulation tool. With it she can pick up and examine things up to her own weight or a scattered variety of objects such as her added arms, and use them as if she was holding them in her hands (or, if they were her hands). This can be extended up to 100 meters but only in a focused small area (such as moving your hand toward that book on the shelf across the hallway) -- Alternate Limbs - as she grows up, Ra-La is capable of lifting and manipulating a wider set of specific tools and limbs made just for her. These can take the place of most toolbox items such as crushing vise grips, fine examination lenses, cheese slicers, and omni-repair tools! As of her Junior year, she still only has access to two at a time, but she can vary which two those are, and as she grows up and matures she will be able to manipulate all six of them at once if she needs to ++ Monster Out - at times of stress or confusion, it's possible that this power over her limbs kind of goes too strong or wonky, which means if there are other smaller objects around when she's using them, pretty much everything gets picked up and swirls around, and she becomes more like a katamari ball than anything else... -- Alternate Body - all of that includes basically detatching from her 'taur' shape, which requires much more effort than merely unbolting a few parts. It is still a biological shell, with organs and energy storage in it, but she can become bipedal with about an hour of 'working her way out' of the limb set. It takes another hour to get back into it, so she doesn't do this lightly. Also she has to re-learn how to balance every time because two feet aren't nearly as stable as four! -- Speed Boost + Bouncy - Since her body is composed of entirely disparate biological and cybernetic bits, she has a strong skill with being where she needs to go right now no waiting! Leaving a bit of a violet and aqua colored blur behind herself, she can zip across short spaces under 10 meters without even thinking about it, but also bounces around a hallway or longer distance area in a zigzag pattern of straight lines, sometimes spronking above things if there's head room. She doesn't generally hit things but she is fairly large (particularly at maturity) so the often tries to make sure she's not speed running the halls when there are too many people in the way. Also she's not allowed to compete in PE events because 'it's cheating' :/ -- Interface With Computers - mainly her own type of Architect or Precursor technology, but any computer that controls objects such as in a vehicle, or ones which store data in electrical, magnetic, energy, or crystaline forms, she can access without physically connecting to it, a wi-fi on legs. For other types of computers or biological data sources such as people's brains, she asks first and then sends jolts of energy back and forth to 'read' the brain - in its entirety. This takes a few moments to complete, and if needed she can edit out bits she's not supposed to be storing or looking too closely at. This is an exercise in trust and secrecy. She cannot just telepathically speak with normal brains, but she can do so with people or entities which already have telepathy. -- DNA and Electronic Data Storage - all those brains and computers she reads help flesh out her knowledge base, and she can safely say that she remembers everyone she meets because they leave distinct impressions as well as residual packets of DNA. Thus she stores a wealth of genetics, and isn't afraid to use them. That's what dad does, and it's what those other people on campus do too! Life goals!
Clusters	DNA Goals Aplenty +3 A rigorously maintained set of genetics is essential for the Architect species, picking and choosing among many options to assemble the best of the best. And where better to find the widest variety, and the least-damaged from age or exposure, than a high school nexus! Because her mother asserted it early on, 'ask first' is always the right course of action, and legally speaking that's good since there are very strict rules about collecting people's information or DNA without approval here in Crescent City Organization Like Crazy +2 Her mind is literally a digital archive, and she can easily search it for detailed information on virtually anything she's studied. This doesn't mean she aces every single course she's taken, but it certainly has made things easier to memorize or bring up for tests. Ra-La can and does use this database to suggest courses of action for others, including who to ask out to the dance, or who to avoid sitting with at lunch
Skills	Vehicle Maintenance And Assembly +3 Though she can certainly work on regular everyday things like bicycles or skateboards with her tool-arms, her preference is for vehicles that she assembles straight out of raw materials like her 'starship captain' mode, or a land-speeder suitable for a small group to be driven around in. She can literally become the vehicle, and though it does take a while to fully integrate with one, if she's made the vehicle it only is about 10 minutes of concentration to 'hook up' to it. Unlike her sire she doesn't then abandon the shape she's got on, merely attaches herself at key points into the vehicle to pilot or maintain it from inside. She has several forms for this already, including a submarine for going to the Dome, a hovercraft for scooting along streets, and a true space-worthy vessel that she'll only dig out if she has permission from mom and dad Spacefaring Surfer +3 Fit for virtually any setting, from super-cold arctic ice and water, to blistering deserts, to high winds, or microgravity, Ra-La is going to get you there safely and in style. She does love watching any type of movement: two legs, four, wings, paired segments, slithering, on up to surfing and wave riding, nascar, and space shuttle launches. Economy of movement is what her dad's breed is all about, but he brings a particular style to it, that other people comment on when he's around. So she does also emulate his zippy flash of motion, because people enjoy seeing it!
Knacks	Emotes +3 Her 'face' is actually not fitted with true eyes, they're there for show, but she does use them and her mouth to reflect emotions and communicate just like other biologicals. She however can also manipulate the eye spots and colors to give much more detailed and subtle cues of her own emotional state, such as flickering to red if she's angered, or a soft blue when she's thinking of that dreamy chess club fella... As she matures, and changes her appearance a bit, she does have blinking and other features added. Her entire body is a mood board, with each joint or fold of 'skin' or armor flowing with her energy, so you know when she's really feeling happy or sad, as her feet and body will also begin adopting those shades Way More Personable Than Dad +2 Because she was raised by a formerly-human mom, in addition to her very not human dad, she does have some odd issues with recognizing emotions early in her life. However as time passes she becomes far more at ease both recognizing and emulating, and finally experiencing, real emotions from the vast array of people at school. It can be a little daunting because some species aren't the same as others, and a smile might not be a smile for everyone... but she'll keep that information carefully bullet listed too! She does still have a bit of trouble with how to address authority figures, and will often question decisions or statements if she feels they're not correct, leading to the occasional raised hackles in a classroom

Pets	There are lots of small crab-like creatures scattered around her 4546B home and a few of them have made their way to her residence here, but they are present to maintain it and her gear, not to be cuddled. She has a Cuddlefish in a specially made aquarium, though!
Parents?	A 'precursor' Architect father and a spliced-Architect Human mother
Siblings?	Hundreds? They are in larval or 'egg' form in their research facility home, others are old enough to be considered 'adult', and some her own specific age group, but with many more in various stages of development Cor-Al, belonging to Neishai (for Summer Swim 2025)
