Appearance

So far as anyone can tell, the Lost were originally similar in appearance to humans today. This much can be discerned from the fact that the handful of true Lost Androids congregating near Earth are quite human in appearance, though there are differences.

Kunstig stands just above average height for a woman, some five feet and eight inches tall. Though proportioned properly for a woman of her size, her body is notably much lighter than that of a human of comparable mass, let alone a sister android. Whereas most Lost of comparable size would weigh in excess of three hundred pounds and even push four hundred pounds in certain cases, Kunstig weighs only ninety. This is due wholly to her design; as her shell was constructed utilizing technology focused on the creation, maintenance, and application of energy, it is actually as fragile as a mortal human's body, if not more so.

Physically, Kunstig is fairly attractive with nothing notable about her appearance save for the length and color of her hair and her unusual clothes.

Powers

As an android, Kunstig does possess many notable abilities inherent to her design and function. Her most notable power, however, lies in her design; she is one of the few mechanical constructs ever built that can effectively utilize the equivalent of psionic power.

Unlike the majority of the Lost, Kunstig's power plant is not used to enhance her body. To that end, it is actually very fragile; a stray blow from a power-wielder could cripple her frame and require days of intensive repairs before it is valid again. Rather than being physically durable, her Soul Drive powers a unique generator (dubbed the Aries Generator by the engineer who designed it) that sheathes her body with a skin-tight projection of passive energy.

The generator has other purposes as well, of course. It also produces a small area of controlled space within two feet of the android in every direction. Within this area of effect, the android has extremely refined detection capabilities. As well, energy (typically kinetic energy) can be manipulated freely within this area, allowing the android to produce ranged attacks from anywhere within two feet of her body.

Kunstig's greatest potential, however, lies in an integrated command prompt that nearly all Lost designed for combat also have; the Breach Capacitors protocol. The system operates by modulating energy output beyond what the frame's capacitor's restrict it to, which can drastically increase the android's fighting capability. The drawback, however, is the duress this protocol introduces to the frame; over prolonged periods of time, the damage can be substantial, even critical enough to reduce the android's overall effectiveness after the protocol is disengaged.

Biography

Kunstig is unsure of how old she is, though estimates based on her frame design (she is from one of the most recent lines of production before the Lost fell, and thereby 'younger' than the other known Lost) place her age at around two-thousand years. Kunstig was not aware for the majority of this time, however.

Kunstig's biological body expired near the age of one-hundred due to an accident that damaged it beyond the reach of the Lost's medical technology. Not wishing to depart so soon, she opted to have her soul stored in an advanced model of the drive that the Lost had been constantly improving. Before being assigned a frame, however, she was approached by a researcher named Cehest.

Cehest had recently returned to their homeworld after taking some time to explore their corner of the galaxy further, and during his travels had encountered wielders of psionic power. Intrigued, he studied their abilities with great interest, then returned home with the intention to design a shell capable of emulating that power.

In time, he succeeded. Kunstig volunteered to occupy the shell on its maiden voyage, but had only been in possession of it for a small number of months before being called to war. While engaged in a fierce ship-to-ship battle, her station of the massive cruiser was obliterated by a light lance, which instantly destroyed her body. Only her soul drive remained, as these devices are virtually indestructable.

Because the damage was so extensively complete, and because the emptyness of space lacked the raw materials for her to replinesh her stores of nanomachines and construct a beacon or distress signal, her sphere was never recovered. Kunstig remained conscious of her situation for six months, though when she lost hope that help would come, she entered a state of suspended awareness to preserve her sanity. The soul sphere drifted for centuries before entering Earth's solar system, and eventually made its way into the planet's gravitational pull. Like a shooting star, the drive fell from the sky and impacted the surface.

It was recovered immediately by a human scientest, who simply found it curious, though after recycling enough proximal matter to fully reconstruct her frame, Kunstig has garnered much more than 'simple curiosity.'
