All Neo really wants in life is an intellectual challenge. She has the combined expertise of practically everyone she's ever met. She doesn't know what it's like to learn, because she knows--instantly, immediately.

[break][break]"Smart" doesn't even begin to cover it. She is calculating and logical. Her instinct is to search for a solution. If there's no need for a solution, she searches for a problem, because Neo hates boredom more than anything else. Her mind needs to be engaged, but there's precious little out there that requires her brain to even wake up.

[break][break]Neo has an arrogance born out of loneliness. She's not unfriendly. In fact, she can be very sociable--she likes the sound of her own voice--but she's emotionally distant. People rarely keep up, so she always expects to leave them behind. There are some that catch her interest, madmen and broken souls that make her wonder just how they even function, but they rarely hold her attention for long. Mostly, she spends her time alone, building weapons of increasingly mass destruction for no real reason other than to see if she can.



Tierra Newton grew up a normal life. She had her powers since she was born, but her parents and their social circle were all laymen. Tierra was a whiz kid at school, but there's nothing unusual about that.

[break][break]Her life changed in middle school, when she attended a summer gifted and talented program at the county college. She met professors. She shook their hands. In a moment, she knew everything they had spent their entire lifetime studying.

[break][break]When she went back home, her schools days were a bore. She knew everything already, but she wanted to know more. She sought out experts and geniuses, quietly collecting an inhuman repository of knowledge.

[break][break]In her senior year, her science project was semi-functional combat drone, powered by its own inertial confinement fusion generator. It was confiscated, but she won an early admittance and full scholarship to Miskatonic University for her trouble.

[break][break]She attended Miskatonic University for a grand total of two months. She met most of the professors there, who can attest that she was a polite young woman with a gentle but firm handshake.

[break][break]Neo is a supervillain best known for constructing and deploying battle robots and drones. She's often behind break-ins and attacks that target things like pricey isotopes, rare metals, confidential blueprints, and whatever else she presumably uses to build her drones.

[break][break]She has a makeshift base in an abandoned movie theater in Arkham. From there, she monitors the outside world through a constant live feed of news channels and her own observation drones.

On touch, Neo absorbs whatever knowledge a person has. The victim might feel a strange chill, later showing symptoms like headaches or short-term amnesia. The old or infirm might suffer from permanent dementia.

[break][break]Neo permanently gains the knowledge of whomever she touches. If they're an expert neurologist, she becomes an expert neurologist. If they're a cutthroat businessman, she becomes well-versed in business practices, but she won't become cutthroat. If they're a master martial artist, she gains their muscle memory but not their physical strength or speed.

[break][break]She does not get specific memories or any personal information, except for what can be deduced from their knowledge.



She has shaken hands with most of the tenured professors at Miskatonic University, as well as many other experts in various fields of study. She's made sure to absorb practical training, such as cooking, hand-to-hand combat, firearms, medicine, and every language she's had the opportunity to steal (this includes Klingon and Sindarin).

[break][break]Neo also has an absurd amount of trivia, ranging from an encyclopedic knowledge of pokemon, the ability to recap every kdrama episode in recent history, the full cast of every movie Kevin Bacon's ever been in, and more things she doesn't even want to know.


In case it wasn't obvious, Neo doesn't ever forget anything, even if she wants to.



Neo makes robots and drones. Robots function on their own. Drones need to be piloted remotely.

[break][break]Her stealth drones are equipped with cloaking software to hide their presence. They tend to have the appearance of a grasshopper. Their audio footage is good, video footage only in black and white, and they send a live stream to Neo's base. They are easy to squish.

[break][break]Combat bots come in all shapes and sizes. She likes to experiment. They usually have impressive strength and durability, flight, energy blasts, and automatic firearms. Sometimes they have lasers, or flamethrowers, or reinforced casing, or whatever else she thought might be fun. If she means business, she throws in a missile or two.
