Multics: Difference between revisions

Although she isn't particularly well-educated compared to the majority of her MIT-tan peers - her academic growth having taken something of a backseat to her cultural and magical development - Multics is intelligent, naturally curious and loves enriching her mind through a number of intellectual pursuits. She is particularly fond of social sciences and enjoys studying international cultures, history and learning languages, and she is fluent in English, French and Latin and familiar with German and Japanese as well. Perhaps stemming from her own avian nature, ornithology is major interest of hers and she enjoys watching birds. She is also fond of aesthetics and design and loves to create and appreciate beautiful things.  

Multics' personality is complex enough to defy any sort of easy classification. She is valiant, just, loyal and ambitious to a fault, but is also habitually-hedonistic, prone to excess and arrogance (particularly in her early adulthood). Her temperament largely depends on her company - friends describe her as affectionate, committed and helpful, while enemies are treated to a decidedly cold and uncaring side of her personality. For the most part, she conducts herself with tact and courtesy, and her commanding nature and natural leadership skills gained her a devoted following - one she managed to maintain even past her death. She is rather notorious for putting on a "good face" no matter what, and tries to hide any feelings of melancholy or fear at all costs.  

For the most part, Multics' ''raison d'être'' was being a sorceress - to the point where her ability to perform sorcery was given precedence over her physical and emotional health, comfort and safety, among other basic necessities. Because of this, Multics viewed her magical abilities as something of a curse, albeit one necessary to her livelihood and survival.  

In addition to possessing the typical sorcery of a timesharing-system-tan, Multics-tan practiced a number of experimental magics; in particular, she possessed powerful psionic abilities and was skilled in the creation of energy forcefields. In its most simple form, this includes the creation of basic barriers and at its most complex, extremely large labyrinth structures designed to confuse and defeat would-be attackers. In addition to keeping herself safe from attack, she uses these powers to protect valuable information and data. This was a valuable power, one that found her numerous employment opportunities in corporate and government sectors.

 

Although her powers waxed and waned throughout her life, she maintained a high level of magical ability until her death.
