-Alioth is a tall (6') and relatively thin Terran-Arcadian hybrid whose figure has become plagued and deformed from echyllis exposure in the form of a disease known as [[ayenee:items:echyllis|glassvein]]. They have pale white skin, with much of their left side being stained purple and partially decayed from the disease. Half their face has been consumed in pink crystals, paralyzing the left side of their face and leaving that eye incapable of regular sight. Their hair is a dark cobalt with a short cut, becoming more curly and matted the closer it is to their disease spread. Their only remaining wing is equally cobalt and equally misshapen, with their left wing being missing entirely. Instead, a large pink crystal pierces her abdomen around where the wing was, with some exposed bone visibly encased in the echyllis formation. Her left arm is exceptionally withered, effectively being fossilized flesh held together by echyllis crystal and metal brackets. +Alioth is a tall (6') and relatively thin Terran-Arcadian hybrid whose figure has become plagued and deformed from echyllis exposure in the form of a disease known as [[ayenee:items:echyllis#poisoning|glassvein]].

 Alioth is frequently seen wearing an ATES Syllic bodysuit as a base layer, with layers of utilitarian clothing overtop. Such attire consists of work boots, welding gloves, overalls, aprons, belts, goggles, and scarves. Despite their withered appearance, Alioth is exceptionally strong both physically and through willpower. When they speak, reverberating crystals in her windpipe give her voice an almost resonant quality.  Alioth is frequently seen wearing an ATES Syllic bodysuit as a base layer, with layers of utilitarian clothing overtop.

-The woman exited The Great Nothing into the destroyed remains of Avisten, which had been long abandoned by the time she had resurfaced. Overtaken by plague and left confused with nothing but an ATES Uniform and a scorched ID card, she wandered the ruins of the city struggling to remember anything but ever-distant memories of the location's signifigance. Left without memory, language, or a name, it wasn't until she came across the Arcandum Union and the adult Bryce Arvero that she found some sense in the world. Given a name based on what remained of her ID, A- -li- -oth, Alioth began to follow the group around and began familiarizing themselves with their culture. Over time, Alioth regained an understanding of speech and the world around her. She learned of Arcadia, the land she had previously called home. She then learned of the destruction of it, the Schism, and the foundation of New Incipere. Alioth became an invaluable member of the team when she was able to relay the contents of her clairvoyant visions, stating that the Schism was not finished.+The woman exited The Great Nothing into the destroyed remains of Avisten, which had been long abandoned by the time she had resurfaced.

 Over time, Alioth has regained some aspects that may be of a prior life, particularly knowledge of mechanics and some of ATES inner workings. Using these skills, she became an artificer and field agent for the Arcandum Union, scouting out potential locations lost in distant memory and using them to generate leads. Alioth still knows very little of their own past, though it wasn't much of a concern until more recent events. Alioth's first foray into the field came after Bryce Arvero ran the Downrider Expedition off of Bivona, where she quickly dispatched a scouting patrol of the Biechelon Collective through Syllic power. Alioth's first interaction with the Downrider Expedition was in the Kerolyne Defile, an Arcadian mining and prison complex she was scouting for valuable resources. She did not exhibit outright hostility to the crew despite her negative views of them at Arvero's request, though she does go as far as to bait Juryrig into a trap to destroy his own parasite, a maneuver which failed and would not come to fruition until after the crews escape. Over time, Alioth has regained some aspects that may be of a prior life, particularly knowledge of mechanics and some of ATES inner workings.

 Alioth has a mostly flat, careless personality. Due to her heavy amnesia, she lacks most social skills and can easily miss nuances and misunderstands figures-of-speech frequently, much to her cohorts frustration. While not completely anti-social, she prefers to keep her exchanges concise- though she does occasionally slip into delirious tangents. Her ability to speak English and similar languages is in development, leading to occasional stuttering and misinterpretations. She does not care for the theatrical side of the Arcandum Union, instead leaving that to Bryce.  Alioth has a mostly flat, careless personality.

-Alioth's mental and even living state is far from concrete due to the plague overtaken her body and mind, exhibiting mild instability (to their refusal) and a somewhat detached and sadistic enjoyment of combat. Her humor is also extremely dry, although Bryce tries to warm her to comedic value. Alioth is an exceptionally strong Syllic, only made stronger by their condition, with forms of telepathy, clairovoyance, and physical manipulation of the material exhibited in strong amounts. Because of this, she claims to have seen the future, and sees that the Schism is going to come again (more than likely, at the hands of the ISS Downrider).+Alioth's mental and even living state is far from concrete due to the plague overtaken her body and mind, exhibiting mild instability (to their refusal) and a somewhat detached and sadistic enjoyment of violence.
