Am I the first person to app two people? I think I am. How did this happen?

Eric again. I apped Beast Boy just a few posts down, and now I'm introducing Zarvora Cybeline, from Sean McMullen's Greatwinter Trilogy. It's a sci-fi series that has a LOT going on but I'll try to sum it up without waxing on for four paragraphs:

In 40th century Australia, civilization rebuilt itself after a 300 year nuclear winter almost wiped out humanity. Zarvora is the leader of Libris, which basically means she's a librarian who carries a gun for dueling other librarians. She built a primitive computer out of humans with abucuses (abucii?) chained to desks communicating by signal wires, so that she could calculate how to take down various ancient weapon systems still lurking in space that were preventing technological civilization from appearing. Also there are psychic whales.

Seriously, read the books. I promise it makes a lot more sense in context.

In THIS world, she's still a librarian, but she's less likely to have people shot. She's a dark/flying analyst, and she's interested in recreating as much technology from the ancients as possible. That means spending a lot of time in the backrooms at the Union Library messing around with ancient diagrams and a soldering iron. She has a Fletching named after Charles Babbage.

As always, I am [plurk.com profile] overbringer and I like talking about RP so don't be shy if you want to plot something with me! Zarvora is good for weird romances or angry shouting over ideals!
