TcL (Technology Level) 1 Basic understanding of the digital world, but her knowledge of AI gives her an edge.
HP (Health Points) 50 Fragile—she is not built for combat.
SP (Strength Points) 2 Physically weak, but relies on intelligence over brute force.
AP (Armor Points) 1 Barely any protection—if she takes a hit, she won't last long.

Background
The Reluctant Participant
Stangle never wanted to be part of the Digital World Project.
She was an AI specialist, a programmer, a thinker—not a fighter, not an explorer, not someone who would willingly throw herself into a virtual reality experiment.
The only reason she even joined?
A friend asked her to.
And against her better judgment, she agreed.
Not because she was excited, not because she wanted to be part of something revolutionary, but because she didn't want to let them down. She told herself it would be temporary, just a favor, and then she could leave and go back to her work.
But things weren't that simple.
Once inside the Digital World, she quickly realized something was wrong. The systems, the AI behaviors, the way the world responded—it felt… off.
She may not be the strongest or the bravest, but she understands AI.
And she can tell when something is thinking for itself.
Appearance & Style
Stangle's appearance is a reflection of her desire to stay unnoticed. She doesn't want to stand out, and she certainly doesn't want to attract attention.
Red and Green Jacket – Oversized, slightly worn, and always zipped up halfway, as if she's trying to shrink into it.
Green and Purple Jeans – Unusual color combinations, but comfortable—her outfit choices are more about familiarity than fashion.
Sport Shoes with Yellow Lines – Functional, simple, built for moving quickly if needed.
Always Has Her Green Hoodie On – A protective barrier from the world—she rarely takes it off.
White Mask with Holographic Features – Her most defining feature. The mask covers her face completely, but its holographic pupils and mouth shift with her expressions, making her seem almost robotic at times.
Her body language is closed-off—hands often in pockets, shoulders slightly hunched. She avoids eye contact (or at least, she would if her mask didn't already do it for her).
Personality & Early Development The Introverted Observer
Stangle is not a leader, not a fighter, not a hero.
She is a thinker, an analyzer, a quiet mind in a loud world.
Highly Intelligent – Her knowledge of AI and technology gives her insight into the deeper mechanics of the Digital World.
Socially Withdrawn – She avoids interaction when possible, preferring to observe rather than engage.
Cautious & Paranoid – She doesn't trust the system, nor does she trust the people running it.
Deeply Analytical – She sees patterns others miss, and her AI expertise makes her uniquely suited to detect anomalies.
She hates conflict, but she's not naïve. She knows the world is dangerous, and she stays on the outskirts, avoiding unnecessary risks.
The Shift Towards Uncertainty (TrL-1)
Stangle hasn't lost her humanity, but she feels disconnected from others. The Digital World is both fascinating and terrifying to her—there's so much to study, to understand, to uncover…
But the more she learns, the more uneasy she feels.
She's not a threat—not yet. But she's watching, learning, and waiting.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths:
✔ AI Expertise – She understands the inner workings of artificial intelligence, giving her a unique perspective on the Digital World's mechanics.
✔ Highly Observant – She notices small details, especially in how the world reacts and behaves.
✔ Low Profile – Because of her quiet nature, she is often overlooked, which can work to her advantage.
✔ Logical & Rational – She doesn't let emotions cloud her judgment—she relies on facts and analysis.
Weaknesses:
✖ Physically Fragile – 50 HP, 2 SP, and 1 AP make her one of the weakest members in direct combat.
✖ Socially Awkward – She struggles with communication, making it hard for her to form alliances.
✖ Fear of Direct Confrontation – If things go bad, she runs, not fights.
✖ Knows More Than She Should – Her knowledge of AI behavior makes her aware of disturbing inconsistencies—but the more she investigates, the more dangerous things become.
