Shez MOM....some hcs under cut
Formerly a talented scientist mage, Hypathia worked to develop the technology to preserve Agarthan culture after her kind were banished. However, the majority of the displaced Agarthans were more bent on planning an invasion on the aboveground "beasts."
She had initially made the technology to store information through artifical "drives". Epimenedes caught wind of this project and stole her work to make "cores": artificial devices that stored memories and conscious, which could be implanted into hosts.
The hosts ranged from captured "beasts" to artificially made bodies. This further developed into body possession. Hypathia, upon finding this out, was vocally against Epimenedes. Such careless use of lives horrified her.
But it was too late: his technology was being widely used by the Agarthans to extend their lives, and she had no influence over them. So Hypathia instead sought revenge against Epimenedes.
One day, Hypathia found out Epimenedes was undergoing core transfer into a new body. She took this oppurtunity to find the location of the procedure, and interrupted it by stealing his host: Shez.
Using magic to disguise herself, Hypathia eventually found refuge in a mountain village by claiming she was a healer (now named "Lillia") with a very small child. As thanks for letting them stay, Lillia became the quiet apothecary/doctor of the village.
Since she never had used the core technology to extend her life, she knew her body was not going to last long. But after all the ostracism from the Agarthans, Hypathia was happy to spend the remainder of her life raising Shez…
