Strengths & Weaknesses:
Ageless- Lemley's brain is the only bit of fleshy substance that would be vulnerable to aging. However, because it was so carefully injected with preservatory chemicals, even it cannot succumb to aging.
Skull- The stongest part of Lemley's body is her titanium-alloy skull.
Wisdom- Though still an adolescent deep down, Lemley has lived long enough to learn more than most other teenagers.
Physical Strength- Lemley can lift 200 pounds. But, that isn't very much considering that her body is almost entirely artificial. She wasn't built for hard labor.
Body Coverings- Her skull might be extremely durable, but the rest of Lemley's body is as fragile as any other human being's despite not being able to age.
Self-loathing- If Lemley had had her way, she would be six-feet-under as she should have been 62 years ago. She hates what she was made into, as she no longer believes she can be considered alive. In her mind, she's nothing more than a shell of what she once was.
Combat Skills- Lemley is not capable of fighting. She has had no training in that area whatsoever.
Appearance:
When it comes to Lemley, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Her face and hands are the only things that resemble her human features in any way. Her body is a network of mechanical organs and muscles, all simulating what the originals would have done, save for the digestive tract and reproductive system. Her "skin" is a thin steel-wire mesh that is flexible enough for her to move freely. Little is left to the imagination.
Personality:
Lemley was once a very lively and spontaneous teenager. Now, she is quiet and reserved. Her thoughts are kept to herself. She almost always appears detatched somehow, her eyes filled with a deep sadness and remorse. She never looks happy. She never smiles. However, she never cries, either.
Biography:
Lemley Orion had a wonderful life. She had many loving friends, a beautiful home, and a father who cherished her more than anything else in the world. She never had to wonder about where the next meal would come from or how to stay alive until the next day. Her life was ahead of her. She was excited to become a scientist just like her dad. But everything changed when Lemley got sick.
The doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. There was nothing they could do but keep her comfortable as her health quickly deteriorated. Though Lemley was sure she would pull through, her father was entirely convinced that he was going to lose her. After the death of her mother, he had refused to let anything happen to his daughter. With this in mind, he began to build.
By the time Lemley's father had completed his project, it was too late. Lemley died two minutes before he could get to her and tell her the news. He knew he had to act fast. Somehow, Lemley's father managed to slip her body out of the hospital and take her back home. Once there, he practically became a mad scientist. He spent two whole days tweaking and adjusting his creation. Finally, he completed it.
Lemley's eyes opened once more. The last thing she'd remembered was drifting off to sleep in her hospital bed. Then her gaze fell upon her own lifeless body, and the horror of what had occured while she was "sleeping" hit home. Her father insisted that he'd made her "better" and that she'd never be sick again. But she didn't feel better. She felt... Nothing. She felt like there was nothing left in her that was human. She was a shell. A husk. A ghost of something that no longer was. Looking at herself in the mirror now made her wish her dad had let her stay dead. But she never told him this. Instead, she suffered in silence for more than 50 years.
Eventually, Lemley's father fell victim to old age. But she didn't. She remained in her old home for ten more years before finally deciding to leave it all behind. She has nowhere to go, but nowhere that she wants to go either. All she can do is wander aimlessly throught the galaxy, hating herself for existing.
