Age: 23
Height | Weight: 5'7" | 120 lbs.
Sex: Female
Orientation: Heterosexual
Race: Finno-Ugric; Finnish/Sámi
Family: Father: Oliver(Alive)| Mother: Susánná(Alive)| Aunt: Lotta(Alive)| Uncle: Samuel(Alive)| Cousins: Valentin(Alive); Paula (Alive; In law)| Niece: Sinikka(Alive) [All live separately from Nea.]
Appearance: As previously mentioned, Nea stands five feet and seven inches tall, weighing about one-hundred and twenty pounds. Her eyes are a blue-gray, and her hair is a light brown hue. She used to wear a gleeful expression out in public, but the face of a sociable, happy individual has grown numb, brimming with evident dissatisfaction. Her casual attire consists of brightly colors and warm cloths. She generally wears scarves just to protect herself from the cold, but they became obligatory after her surgery, even if the weather didn't call for it. She once had a pleasant voice, but her injury has rendered her completely mute.
Personality Traits: Reliable, Patient, Tactless, Pedantic, Phlegmatic
Likes:
Dislikes:
Hobbies: Nea has shown an interest in reading, card games, and hunting.
Habits: Nea only has a couple of habits, Nea has a strange compulsion to chew gum, and will exhaust an entire pack in a day or two. Secondly, she frequently clicks her claws together.
Prosthetic Information:
Injury: Nea had been injured in a car incident. She was sitting on the passenger side. An inebriated driver collided with the right side of the vehicle. Shrapnel had been propelled into her neck, deep enough to sever the inferior recurrent laryngeal nerve, rendering her completely mute. When paramedics arrived on the scene, she had suffered severe blood loss. She had been rushed to the hospital, and emergency surgery had to be undertaken to remove any debris, and to stop any internal bleeding.
Prosthetic Appearance: In essence, the prosthetic take the form of two claw-like mini appendages, much like the forcipules of a centipede. When outstretched, the claws reach out only a few inches past her face, and when curled by her neck, they can be fairly unassuming when covered by clothing, such as a scarf. Because the prosthetic reaches fairly deep into her neck, in order to filter blood and attach to the vagus nerve, it's color and texture have been matched with her skin.
Prosthetic Function: A variety of proteins, enzymes, and toxins are filtered from the blood, and upon puncturing the flesh, the claws inject a venomous cocktail that can send a fully grown man to the ground in seconds from pain alone. Death usually occurs within a few hours. If one survives, one is potentially subject to flu-like symptoms, swelling, cellulitis, necrosis, degradation of muscle tissue, anaphylaxis, heart attack, renal failure, and coronary ischemia. Many of the symptoms are not directly a result of the toxins, but are complications from degrading muscle tissue entering the blood. Because the prosthetic filters the blood, it provides a mildly increased resistance to milder toxins. On the downside, however, to effectively use the prosthetic to kill, she has to get particularly close to the target. In order to keep the venom potent, she must have a high intake of zinc, protein, and vitamin b12.
Documentation of Confrontation: We were reviewing a variety of medical cases in, generally taking place in rural regions of northern finnoscandia. There were many cases that were viable for our project, but there was one case that featured little loss of existing physical function. The subject's inferior recurrent laryngeal nerves had been severely damaged, resulting in a loss of her voice, as well as cumbersome, yet reportedly manageable, breathing problems. Offering to fix her nerves would provide a lot of incentive for cooperation. My team and I collaborated and adapted some of our designs to fit her particular case. After confirming the viability of our plans, we promptly made arrangements with the subject. We informed the subject that we would mend the nerves in her neck, and that we would fix her breathing problems. We also stated that with therapy, she may be able to regain her voice. We made it clear that there was no guarantee. While not explicitly stated, fixing her voice was not priority, and we had no means of providing therapy. The subject expressed excitement and, we assume, joy. That is to say, especially when we addressed there would be no financial cost associated with the surgery, as it was experimental.
We took her to our facility to perform the surgery, in which we provided a variety of amenities in order to ease any apprehension that the subject may have, however we could not allow her to eat anything before the surgery. After we finished all of our preparation, we contacted the subject and administered an intravenous dosage of general anesthetic.
The surgery took approximately 19 hours, in which we placed semipermeable membranous net in the neck for the purpose of chelating metalloproteases from the body. We attached the net to a pair of synthetic claw like appendages, resembling those of centipedes in the order of scutigeramorpha; they were designed to be thin, and we purposely avoided the bulky design of scolopendromorpha. At the ends of these appendages, we placed needles that injected a venom created by the enzymes extracted from the subjects body. We connected the damaged nerves by heating away scar tissue and the nerve ending to force natural nerve regeneration. The nerves were then placed into adapters that processed nerve signals and nearby muscle impulses. Lastly, in order to fix the subjects breathing problem, we made small incisions in the vocal folds to reduce airway obstruction.
When the subject awoke after the surgery, she seemed disappointed, likely that she was unable to speak, despite us stating that there was no guarantee of such outcome. We provided a notepad for her to communicate with, as she only knew remedial sign language. She was pleased that her breathing had already improved, although with mild throat irritation, though we informed her that was normal. She incessantly made complaints of a "heavy feeling". We alerted her that was normal, and not to fixate and to avoid touching her neck. She was still under the effects of the anesthetic, and was likely not entirely aware of the new prosthetic. When she became fully aware, she was naturally shocked. At first, the subject displayed anger over the "bastardization" of her body, and later became uncooperative and unresponsive. After several days, she innately learned how to control the prosthetic and constantly fixated on them. It was evident that she had a great deal of emotional distress, as unforeseen changes to the body often cause. She is currently under our care, on a soft food diet until her full recovery, and on behavioral watch.
