Profile

Rhia is a scientist in the employ of ShinRa. Though possessing a genius level intellect, she has absolutely no care for normal social niceties, resulting in a rather stilted personality. She can seem outward kind and forthcoming, but the reality is that she sees most other people as nothing more than data or test subjects. Being called by name is a privilege reserved only for those who are useful to her. Otherwise, they are quickly dismissed from memory and forgotten. Scientific research, technological advancement, and the study of magic and biology are all that drives Rhia. She is not someone to go to in the case of a moral conundrum, even if she may give off that impression at first.

The long and short of it is; she just might be insane.

Personality

Rhia is a fickle person. She does whatever she feels like, regardless of what her superiors or subordinates say. Usually though, this is because she can think of better ways to go about what has been ordered of her. After all, she knows her field of work better than those who demand that the work be done.

She can be quite passionate about technological research and tends to disregard people as 'insufficient', unless they are useful to her in same way. While she can be outwardly polite, patient, and forthcoming to just about anyone, she also finds complete and utter amusement in pushing people's buttons. To her, their reactions tell more about who they are as people than their words ever do. It can also be said that she values research and technological advancements over the lives of people at the end of the day and in that same vein, seeks no real meaningful human interaction.

Rhia can also be quite kooky, coming up with insane ideas for inventions that have no immediate practical application. Needless to say, people tend to leave her alone when she getd wrapped up into the latest crazy idea of the week. The results of her attempts at making such things realities can also be seen all throughout her lab as ShinRa. Be wary of touching them. Some might blow up unexpectedly.

All in all, Rhia is kind and forthcoming enough, but also a bit loopy and unpredictable. Approach with a fair bit of caution.

Relationships

Complicated

Name

Thoughts

Chita

Complicated is the only real word to describe her relationship with Chita. She claims that he is nothing more than a tool. A means to an end that only she can see. But despite that, she allows him to get close, perhaps too close. She entertains his witty banter and responds in kind. And she shares with him information that by all rights, she has zero reason to ever share in the first place. It would be easy to say that Rhiannon is crazy and that her actions always make no sense, but there must be something logical hidden under there.

Co-Workers

Name	Thoughts
Montag	"A Shinra soldier who has survived long past the general life expectancy of basic soldiers under Shinra's employ. I simply must procure a blood sample! Your genes may hold the key for the ultimate super soldier! ...I do not mean that silly SOLDIER project they have those others working on."
Reno	A senior Turk. Seems to have little care of formalities and protocol, but manages to get his job done regardless. Nevertheless, he can be rather entertaining.
Sammy Colt	An amusing young Turk with rather peculiar abilities. Rhia's interested in...studying him some time. Which means Sammy should stay far, faaaaaaaar away.

Supposed Enemies

Name	Thoughts
AVALANCHE	No particular feelings on this group. The only reason she's obligated to oppose them is because they oppose Shinra, and she is a part of Shinra. Nonetheless, some of it's members may prove interesting. Or not. She's too busy to care.

Those Other People

Name	Thoughts
Aerith	Rhiannon only knows of Aerith in passing. Sure, Shinra is on the lookout for her, but she doesn't particularly care. She did go have a look for herself once, out of sheer curiosity, but nothing more. Rhiannon is completely unaware of Aerith's seething hatred for her.
Angantyr Vespar	A typical violent brute in Rhia's eyes. Despite the critical levels of danger, she will go out of her way to antagonize him. After all, she never did get that blood sample she wanted...
Count Valos	A dark elf met in passing long ago. She agreed to keep tabs on an individual named 'Morrighan Alazne' for him. But after catching wind that he's passed on, that work had been suspended indefinitely.
Leida	Rhia is completely enamored with Leida....'s blood. Or maybe Leida herself. Hard to tell. Sometimes, it seems like Rhia is genuinely being sincere and caring, the next, she's trying to drag the poor girl into her lab.
Megavolt	*No comment found, too busy preparing the Megavolt Droids*
