Description Her pale blue eyes were barely open, moving side to side withing her heavy lids when she first heard some far off words.   It sounded more like buzzing to her, drifting in the normal, but frustrating noise that was being parsed, filtered then either stored or destroyed in the her mind as well as the various databases she was connecting.  Different voices, faces, peoples things, most thrown away and some kept.  Especially those of a young man that their leader seem fascinated by.

She didn't understand why, nor cared.  Relationships sounded very complicated and too exhausting.  How could anyone have the energy for that-

"Hello?  Are you even listening?!"

Those words again.  They were getting louder.  Hmm, not of their leader, nor of Orson.  Must not be important.  Her eyes fluttered a bit, slowly beginning to close.  She can sleep through this, let the neurons of her subconscious take control.

"Are you ignoring?...Are you actually falling asleep?!  I don't believe this!  Sybil, I am talking to you!"

Her eyes opened again, feeling one of the connections unplugged.  The slight jolt to her system caused her fingers to twitch a bit and she weakly turned her head, her eyes staring into the wrinkled old face of a very impatient man.  How could someone so...old...have so much energy.  Must be tiring.  "That..." She paused, giving a deep sigh, "Was unnecessary..."  She tried to turn her head but gave up, taking a deep breath instead.  What a pain..."You almost killed me."

"Oh please, I didn't disconnect your fluids.  You're fine.  However I need to the quotes for materials you used to fix Ira's arm."

Her arm?  She closed her eyes again, parsing back.  Oh right. The arm did break at that time. "Hmm...what a pain."  She lowered her head a bit, making it easier for him to plug one of the wires into her neck.  She laid her head back, motioning to one of the screens, "That much."

He balked, pulling off his glasses to clean them, as if to make sure he was seeing the amount, "How...what?!  That is far more expensive than last time!"  He cursed under his breath, putting his glasses back on as he fumed.

She gave a weak smile, "Stronger materials are...a better investment."  She slowly lifted her shaking hands, looking at her long, delicate fingers, "I get to do something fun now..."  She laid her head back, drafting again, her eyes closing slowly much to the frustration of her current caretaker.  As far as she was concerned, the conversation had long past it's end.

Residence: Monterose (somewhere in the Northwest United States)

Ethnicity: Half Caucasian/Half Japanese

General Appearance: Sybil is a very thin and gaunt young woman with heavy bags under her eyes.  She is extraordinarily pale and her lips are thin.  She has large slanted eyes that are always barely opened, and if it wasn't for her illness, she would be considered very feminine and almost ethereal beauty.  Her hair is straight and she has long bangs that barely go over her eyes.  She usually wears her hair down but sometimes Orsin would pull her hair up into a bow or bun, which she appreciates cause it makes her feel pretty.

Height: 5' 7"

Weight: 100 lb

Measurements: 32" A bust, 20" waist, 30" hips

Clothing Sizes: XXS all around; she prefers XS or SM since then it'll be baggy on her and more comfortable.

Clothing Choices: Sybil gets cold very easily so she is usually dressed in long comfy tunics and sweater dresses.  She prefers not to wear pants unless they are comfy, soft, sweat pants and is usually seen with a blanket.  She likes to wear warm slippers or house shoes and hardly wears anything formal.  She doesn't care what color her clothes are, always choosing comfort over style.

Style Board:  www.pinterest.com/acodamonkey/…

Hair Color: White (colored as Pale Blue)

Hair Length: Long and Straight, midway past her bust.

Eye Color: Pale Blue with no pupils

Handedness: Ambidextrous though they are mostly useless now.

Jewellery: She does not wear any jewellery.

Mask: No mask; she does not leave the manor.

Tattoos / Marks: She has same faint needle marks from the experiments and IV machines she uses, and she bruises very easily.  She also has cybernetic implants that allow her to add wireless or wired connections to her various life support machines, drone machines, etc.   Those are the base of neck and back of her head and glow a variety of colors depending on power and function.

Style of Speech: Her voice is very soft, almost always just barely above a whisper.  She often coughs between words and speaks slowly with long pauses.  It is unknown whether she exaggerates those pauses; she sometimes throws in snores as a joke.

Words/Slang/Jargon: She uses the latest slang and jargon, even leaving the young Cana in the dust with her up to date internet vernacular.

Education: She has several degrees from various universities, including a Phd in Computer Science with Specialties in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence.  She does this in her spare time and while multi-tasking just because she can.

Languages: English, Spanish, Pulaar, French, Japanese, Latin, Ancient Greek...ask her what language she DOESN'T know.

Work History: Unwanted experimental child to now a top enforcer of a powerful crime family; Sybil is a skilled hacker, engineer, and inventor.  She is a key member of the family and is the one that controls the Islands and Manor defenses as well as surveillance of the city.

Skills: Sybil has many skills despite her very frail body; she is extraordinarily intelligent and nothing seems to be beyond her grasp mentally.  She is able to hack into any system and solve numerous logic puzzles as well as learn many things at once.  She never seems to forget anything, though if it loses her interest, she won't bother to retrieve it from memory unless asked very nicely, and bribed.  Her most powerful skill is her fearlessness; she has a great strength of will despite facing Death day by day and has a superb sense of humour most of the time.

Powers/Talents: Sybil was the first experiment and was considered a failure, kept only out of pity.  She is incredibly physically weak, and seems to grow weaker physically every year, even losing her eye sight.  However, she is a genius and the experiments only increased her natural intelligence.  There is something that seems supernatural about her mental capabilities as she is able to hack any terminal, control any electronic, any number of electronics.  The grid is her plaything and what she can't do physically, she can make something else due.  As long as she has the necessary materials and labor force, she can create drones, armor, etc.  She handles most of the surveillance and offers the utmost support in battles or fights.  Whoever controls information wins the war, and she has access to all of it.  At a very severe cost.

Favorite Food: She has a fondness for birthday cake since her birthday was rarely celebrated as a child and teen.  It really doesn't matter which flavor, as long as the occasion is a birthday and it's a cake.

Favorite Types Music: Dubstep and Electronica music

Favorite Types of Movies: Horror films about ghosts.  She especially likes creep stringy-hair ghost horror films.  She relates to the ghost.

Favorite Types of Book: Ghostly, Gothic Horror

Morning or Night Owl: Night Owl

Favorite Alcohol: Rum and Hot Sake.

Favorite Drink: Hot Toddys with rum, Hot Chai, and Hot Chocolate.  Essentially hot and sweet drinks

Religion: She is fascinated by multiple religions which leaves her as an open agnostic.  It also adds to her morbid jokes.

Phobias / Fears: She is not afraid of anything but the one thing that she faces daily; Death.  She has multiple contingencies in place for when that day comes so that her family is secure and she has left an impact.

Bad Habits / Vices: She loves pranks.  She loves to pull pranks and scare people.  She uses her drones for peeping and other nefarious purposes.  She also sleeps a lot, but she has to.  Her mind is always working when her body cannot.

Quirks: She uses her drones to help her express strong emotions.  She has a habit of twiddling her fingers like a mad genius and she loves to quote pop culture.  She doesn't mind creeping other people out with her humour and ghost like voice (the fact that she controls a lot of the manor gives way to making it seem haunted).

Best Qualities: She is intelligent, creative, and has an excellent sense of humour.  For someone who is so physically frail, she has a very strong will and is fearless (could be due to apathy, but Orsin and Ira believes it's her greatest strength).  She enjoys making things for her family and shows her affection through jokes and random gifts she makes.  Though she is apathetic, it seems that for her close friends and family, she will be as dependable as she can be.

Worst Qualities: She is cold, apathetic, and some of her pranks can be seen as cruel.  She tends to make very dark and morbid jokes, not to get a rise but because she is wondering when will be the day she just doesn't wake up.  She tries hard not to get down on herself, but her very real mortality plagues her.  Due to her lack of energy and her ever prominent, ever looming death, it is a pain to get her to care about things outside of her interests.

Goals and Motivations: To be useful.  That is what Sybil wants most of all.  Her weak body from the experiments and the abandonment that has come from that still left scars on her psyche.  Having several people believe in her, depend on her, helps her face each day.  She loves creating things and solving problems because that utilizes her genius mind and also means she can improve the family further.  She will NOT be a burden.

Morality / Ethics: Murder, rape, lies, stealing?  She does not have the energy to care.  Experiment on others?  Will that complete the family and make her loved ones happy?  Sure.  She can only have so much energy for so few things, so her ideas on morality and ethics are slowly waning as she gets weaker.  What does drive her is puzzle solving, creating new inventions and equipment, and protecting the family she worked hard for.  This is more than enough to sate her.  Anything else is not important.  She is apathetic beyond matters of her interest.

Mental Illness: Sybil hides her insecurity and disdain for her weakness behind a mask of jokes, pranks, sarcasm and deadpan, morbid humor.  She could be considered sociopathic, but that is only because her lack of energy makes so she really does not care for ethics or morality.  This may make her seem unfeeling, but she isn't.  She feels so much and it may kill her.

Myer-Briggs Personality: ISTP

Sexuality: Asexual, Bi-romantic.

Status: Taken;  She has a soft spot for Orsin and he is the only one who makes her blush.  She wishes she can offer more for him, but he seems content so she doesn't worry.

Sexual Experiences: None.  She doesn't care and is far too weak to partake.  She rather cuddle.

Key Relationships-
Orsin/Gluttony: She, as much as she can, returns Orsin feelings.  She wishes she could be more physical with him but appreciates that he seems more than happy to be with her in chaste and gentle ways.  She enjoys play/beating him in games and also she tends to play little tricks on him.  He is definitely more of the romantic that she is, but she always smiles for him and he is the only one who makes her blush.  If there is one person whom she has any energy for, it will be Orsin.

Ira/Wrath: They are both very protective of Orsin and both respect and trust each other deeply.  Ira is Sybils' closest friend and if Ira is the face and offensive fire of the Dante Family, Sybil is the unyielding, unbreakable, icy defense.  Sybil works with Ira behind the scenes; she provides strategic planning, surveillance, and any necessary information to the head of the family.  They are a dangerous force together and most of the time they are on the same page.  The few times they are not, Sybil backs down but is not afraid to voice her dissenting opinion to Ira.  In fact, Sybil may be the only person in the entire city who is not afraid of Ira.  They were the main forces behind the coup and that extends to the currently family: Ira leads from the front, Sybil controls from the shadows.

Tristan/Lust: Sybil admits to bearing some responsibility to Tristan's joining the family; she encouraged Ira to pursue him.  However, she does not have the energy to regret it; as far she is concerned, the family is everything and Tristan helps complete their family.  Not only that, but Tristan joins in on her pranks and tricks, being a playful accomplice.  It helps that he is eye candy and flirts with her.  He tries to make her blush and it always fail; however they have fun with it.

Edward/Greed: Sybil sees him as an annoying, but somewhat doting father figure.  Edward brings her materials and schematics to keep her entertained and they gently bicker with each other on a number of subjects.  They challenge each other intellectually, though Sybil typically wins.  Is one of the main victim of her pranks and snarker attitude.

Cana/Envy: The main subject of her pranks, Sybil enjoys teasing Cana.  Cana is protective of Sybil and while she insults her, Sybil knows she intimidates the younger woman.  They have more aloof sibling relationship.

Darrion/Pride: They work closely together; Darrion often gives her the intel from the police and helps her get access to various law enforcement information, including evidence, people under witness protection, possible snitches, etc.  It also helps that Sybil finds Darrion attractive and spies on him when he doesn't know it.  Darrion is also intimidated by Sybil and is easily flustered around all of her technology.  They often watch horror movies together to see who would get scared first.  Sybil always wins.

Eva/Seraph: Eva better stay out of their way.

Key Childhood Experiences: Sybil was always a quiet child and unnoticed child.  Unwanted by her poor and struggling family, she was sold to the Dantes for experimentation and was the first to be enhanced and given the experimental super soldier drugs.  However she was considered a failure; at first nothing seemed to change, and then she began to 'degenerate', becoming always ill and definitely not soldier material.  Thankfully, the head of the Dante family had a weakness for young women, so she was kept out of pity.  She was often isolated and sometimes experiments continued on her, much to her weakening dismay.  Being treated as nothing less than a burden, she did not have any friends, being ignored and unloved.  

Key Teenage Experiences: When Ira and Orsin had been 'adopted', finally things began to get brighter for Sybil.  Orsin made it a point to visit the her despite her increasingly poor health, often losing many games to her but making her smile.  However, it was Ira who noticed Sybil's intelligence and potential, who noticed how useful Sybil could be.  Ira was not a fan of the treatments herself and grew hateful of the attention she was getting as a successful experiment and from the then head of the family as a groomed bride.  Though Ira and Sybil were opposites, Sybil finally not only had a friend who legitimately cared about her but another friend who believed in her, giving her purpose.  It was Sybil who found out about what was going to happen to Orsin and she told Ira, wanting to prevent it anyway she can.  The two young women hatched a plan together, Sybil being able to construe most of it and recruit Edward with her calculations of increased wealth and reputation, something the family was losing.  Ira pushed Sybil to tap into the abilities she did have that everyone didn't seem to care about and finally she was no longer a burden.

She was the pillar that held the plan together.

When Ira 'accepted' the proposal, Sybil had hacked the documents to make sure Ira had was the official heir and next of kin (Darrion had consented to this).  When Ira murdered the head, Sybil had already controlled the security monitors, blocking everyone from knowing when the murder happened.  When the other enforcers tried to retaliate, there was no support and they were crushed.  Without Sybil, the coup would not have been as successful nor as smooth.  The experiments on Sybil had stopped, and she was given full creative reign and the comfort she needed and deserved.  In return, Ira had Sybils' loyalty and talents.  

Sybil became an official Dante and the sin of Sloth.  For her who had already lost everything, the reward was well worth it.

Key Adult Experiences: Sybil was the one who encouraged Ira to pursue Tristan, wishing for her best friend to be happy.  When he was 'recruited' she gave her full approval to have him become one of them, though on the condition that the last remaining doctor who had knowledge of the experimental drugs be killed.

When Tristan tried to kill Orsin to escape, she had seriously consider rescinding her approval, finding him volatile.  However that had changed when Ira did not yet give up on him and he willingly joined the family.  Helps that he is cute and is a flirt.  

She is currently waiting for Death to visit her at last and is working on a way to leave her legacy.

Ahh I still love Sybil the most!! <33
Lol maybe it's because I'm in the same area. But man so many things would disintegrate without proper intel and control over anything electronic. That's why the cyber war is intensifying nowadays haha! XD

(I just realized why the name Sybil sounded so familiar... it was the same name of the cyber network in Psycho-pass!)

Sybil is awesome, she is the best, she the lovable troll!  She doesn't have a big role in the story, but ohhh I need to have little short stories lined to write about her and Orsin.  

Hehe thus why Sybil is so powerful since she essentially uses the grid like her own personal playground *ghostly giggle*

(Did...Did I ape something without knowing it?!  I had no idea that it was in Psycho-Pass!  Haven't seen the show)

Hehehe i love her!!
Aw man I can see her having a big role if you do the coup story though. XD

man i would so so love to do that! O.O (even though i'm supposed to protect the damn thing)

oh right i forgot to say how much i laughed when you said she relates to the ghost in horror movies!

lol it's ok!! it's pretty cool actually. Sibyl was actually an "AI" of sorts (i'm not going to spoil anything) that could do a psychological scan of people's brains. So in a sense, it's actually related!

CodeMonkeyArts In reply to WindMeister8 [2017-08-17 16:06:57 +0000 UTC]

There are a lot of stories I want to do.  I was tempted to do Orsin and Ira's past, but that along Tristan's past will be revealed through out the darker half of Birth of a Sin (granted not in narrative but in nightmares, dialogue, etc), so focusing on the coup with Sybil, Darrion and Edward would be interesting.  That would be a fun thing to write and I'm starting to get bits and pieces of scenes to add to it and would be a chance to draw younger kid/teen versions of the sins too.

LOL SHE IS THE GHOST IN HORROR MOVIES!  Well almost; it's both funny and sad.  She likes to pull pranks on Darrion by flickering lights on and off in the manor, having ghostly sounds follow him when he walks, etc.  But she is also waiting for Death to visit her, knowing that her time is coming and wondering if how she will be able to leave a lasting mark.

LOL wow it is very related considering what Sybil becomes in the future.  Nice!

CodeMonkeyArts In reply to WindMeister8 [2017-08-17 22:06:13 +0000 UTC]

Yes!  It does.  She passes it on to Amara and kinda stays at her guide.  Poor Sybil, her story is a bit sad, which is why it'll be cathartic to write on the coup and give her a bit of the spotlight and why she is so loyal.  It'll also be good to show how long Ira has been broken.  Darrion would also play a decent part too.  Ahhh so many things to write!

I always love seeing characters based on the seven deadly sins! 
Ever since I did an adoptable line based on them I've been noticing them a lot and they're such interesting character traits to me tbh

They are awesome traits and I really wanted to do a mafia/villain themed troupe based on them.  Thus why about 2 years ago I have made these peeps.  They have evolved a little since then; becoming more three dimensional (thus why I am updating their bios) but oh they are so much fun!

I kind of imagine Lear gaming in sybils lab. or if they use the rift to like, transport into game worlds (cause cross over logic) she could run around with a drone to help her. 
Lear sucks at puzzles but she's good at combat and likes the exploring aspect of stuff.

Darrion and Sybil have a continuous bet that he will one day outlast her in watching a horror film.

He has yet to succeed.  Sybil has nerves of steel (or just complete apathy).  She also likes to use her drones to hide in dark spaces and spook Cana when their eyes go red.  Cause it's hilarious.
Orsin would not last.

Orsin may not make it.  Darrion might though
Then Sybil switches it to Outlast and he just "Nopes" out of the room.
