Nikoe

= Forward = This dossier, formerly top secret, was unearthed as part of a datamining operation that the Illuminati conducted to obtain secret information from the Dragon at great cost. Shortly after the datamining occurred, the Dragon released all information that was uncovered freely on the internet for anyone to view. Encrypted in the code for these files was the phrase "All you had to do was ask" repeated. The following information on Nikoe can be found with a google search as it has been archived on numerous conspiracy enthusiast websites Faction Rank: Dissolution

Combat Capabilities: Nikoe's skill in combat is considerable, especially when augmented by her ability to manipulate dimensional spaces in her immediate viscinity. Termed as "Chaos Magic" by many, to Nikoe this process is a completely mathematic phenomenon, achieved by directing anima energy into precise harmonic sequences that cause localized dimensional disturbances. She performs these calculations ad hoc in her head in combat situations. The amount of mental energy she has to devote to these calculations can somewhat diminish her reaction times and situational awareness in the same way a computer performing multiple processes runs slower than when it just runs one. Nikoe seems to not only have a head for mathematics but also for martial arts (and dancing as well; she views them as much the same). Her skill at fighting in hand to hand or sword combat is nearly equal to the Dragon grand masters. In combat she does not tend to stick to any one fighting style but rather a wild improvisation of every fighting style (and occasionally some dance styles) she's learned. This element of chaos makes her a formidable opponent in any martial capacity.

Nikoe shows no skill or interest at utilizing firearms, though it's thought her mental abilities would make her a sharpshooting savant.

Nikoe not only does not show any aptitude for magic, but strange among anima infused individuals she seems incapable of wielding the spark of magic in any form. It is probable that her logical mind does not have the fluidity necessary for channeling anima in this manner. Nikoe has expressed a desire to explore the mathematic foundations behind the more esoteric magical arts one day.

Footprint in Detail:

A.) Nikoe was born to an Argentinian prostitute by the name Maria Caladine and given the name Asana. Her father is unknown. She was dropped off as an infant at a rural church in the Salta province (Santa Laura Vicuña) where she was raised with several other orphaned children. At eleven Asana suffered a physical mutilation which resulted in the loss of her tongue. Asana left shortly after even as her body was suffering sickness caused by infection.

B.) Asana underwent anima infusion shortly after leaving Argentina. There she was picked up by a Scylla class agent. This agent raised her in relative seclusion in the wilds of the Amazon. Asana showed a remarkable aptitude for advanced mathematics and was educated so as to produce a theorist who would have the skills required to contribute to the organization's long term projects. While educated in the Secret World, our agent decided to not reveal the existence of the Dragon to her directly, instead setting the seeds of the Dragon's ideals in her to grow within her naturally. It was during this time that she took up the name Nikoe, a name containing some significance to her tutor.

Nikoe's one contact during this period outside of our agent was an indiginous tribe of natives untouched by civilization. While not being educated by our agent, she spent time with the tribe. The tribe knew of our agent and had traded with him on several occasisions and welcomed his apprentice as an honorary member of the tribe. After several years learning from the agent it was time for the next phase of training. Our agent led Nikoe to a nearby Agartha conduit and pushing her in the Dragon severed all contact with Nikoe to allow her to develop on her own without any further influence.

C.) After being set out on her own, Nikoe spent at least a year living in the city of São Paulo in Brazil. She appears to have drifted between flophouses and mostly stuck to the slums.

D.) From 2003 forward Nikoe began to explore the greater world utilizing Agartha as a way to hop from location to location. She did not have any place of residence and lived life as a transient. It is thought that during this time Nikoe sought to explore the secret world on her own. There are several reports of supernatural incidents which were resolved as a result of her involvement. Her motivation during this time seems to have developed into a desire to help others she encountered in trouble along her way along with an almost childlike pursuit of entertainment. Data gathered in her wake proved very useful in many of our models. Further detail into these occurrences may be found in individual case files.

E.) Shortly after the new year 2012, our agents contacted Nikoe and brought her officially into the organization. She proved eager to involve herself and contribute to our models in an official capacity. She has been set up in a flat in the Eldwic segment of London. While this is deep in Templar territory, it is thought that her youthful exuberance and desire to do good puts a friendly face to the Dragon which helps counterbalance the terrorist leanings the organization is often associated with. Additionally proximity to nearby Agartha hub and access to extensive library should allow her to further carry out her work in an efficient manner.

= Psychological Evaluation = Cognitive Assessment: On the surface Nikoe's personality seems to be flighty and lacking in the ability to focus on a given task. However testing has shown that this is not entirely accurate. Nikoe is able to absorb a remarkable amount of information from numerous input sources while not sacrificing breadth to any. Her ability to retain information is also significantly higher than the average person. While her memory does not quite reach the level of photographic, she can memorize fairly long strings of information adeptly. Her greatest strength however is in information processing. When she dedicates herself to it, Nikoe is a human calculator capable of crunching highly complicated mathematical functions at high speed and with almost negligible margins of error. It's telling that Nikoe prefers to compose her math by hand even when computer access is readily made available to her.

Social Assessment: Nikoe is highly extroverted, and is easily able to converse and relate to other people. She seems to experience little anxiety in social environments and adapts quickly in situations traditionally thought of as uncomfortable or socially awkward. She seems to have little regard for social mores regarding etiquette. Nikoe seems unable or unwilling to tell a lie in any convincing manner or maintain any kind of social deception. It's advised that she not be chosen for any activity that require social subterfuge. While a highly social animal, Nikoe is paradoxically very independent, most likely as a result of her previous transient lifestyle. Nikoe seems to have a difficult time maintaining close relationships. She has had only a single long term relationship on record which dissolved due to issues regarding emotional commitment.

Emotional Assessment: Outwardly, Nikoe's emotional level can be described as elevated but stable. She maintains an almost perpetually optimistic outlook on life and her cheerfulness is viral in its infectiousness. She carries remarkably little psychological baggage from her troubled early years.

However when her attention is put to work in a dedicated problem solving capacity, her normally energetic personality is focused inward rather than outward. She becomes detached from the world around her and in this state she appears lethargic and unresponsive at anything but the most general surface level. This side of her also emerges when emotionally stressed to a significant degree or in serious combat situations. In such situations Nikoe seems fully aware of the world around her but her normally active and energetic personality sublimates itself into an almost comatose state.

It is possible that Nikoe suffers from some kind of schizophrenic condition which divides her mind into two separate segments. Further observation will be required to determine the long term effects of this.

Psychic Assessment: Attempts to psychically analyze Nikoe have generally not been successful. Psychic probes encounter a layer of static "fuzz" which grows louder and more incomprehensible as the probe goes deeper. It's not known if this is an intentional defense on her part or just a natural product of her mental landscape. It's probable that a probe initiated while she was sedated would allow a breach of this defense however so far no such attempt has been made.
