Description

A Concept for a character pair for :iconcameronjc:'s superhero world Neolythia. A new character I had in mind :D fun to draw.

____________________________________

Profile: Project Buttons

Name: Buttons
Real name: <unknown, file deleted from all records>
Species: Tasmanian wolf, cybernetic.
Sex: Female
Age: 11?? (age unknown. appears and behaves like 10-12)

Allegiance: Neolythian Millitary, Secret operations command, High tech weaponry division, Classified unit
Group: Heroes (ad hoc and opportunistic)


Personality: Nuts, crazy, little loony, childish, but really cheery and cuddly. Loyal, chatty, rather mischievous

Abilities:
Microfabricator arrays and hardlight projectors: The unique button-like markings on her are actually the arrays themselves. They can create just about anything that she can decide on. Commonly end up being shields or laser weapons as she's somewhat of a scifi fan.....
Cybernetic fusion: She's capable of self repair... or regeneration.... wonderful.... considering what she does. 
Symbiotic link: She has a strange bond with Capz. They operate together as though they're one.... but they are still separate anyway.
Flight: She can fly. also can use it to run really fast. She has reached supersonic speeds with it before finds that flight becomes uncontrolled at very high speed. Her early outings trying to run fast resulted in her smashing into buildings a lot.

Notes:
Project Buttons is a classified secret millitary project to try to create supersoldiers to fight off the invasion of tiamat when it eventually comes. There was however a lack of volunteers in the experimental cybernetics proposed. It was nicknamed this due to the button-like nature of the fabricator.

The one who would later become buttons was found as an abandoned orphan that was left to die on the street from an incurable cancer. It's still not known who her parents were or where she actually came from. The project buttons scientist on their way home found the girl and took pity on her and adopted her, taking her into their lab for treatment. However her condition worsened and as a last ditch effort to save her they merged her with the cybernetics meant for the project. The girl died during the operation, however the cybernetics took over her functions and she was revived. Unfortunately the brief period of death caused some degree of brain damage to her... Still despite that, she was up and running happily after 2 days which overjoyed the team but left some odd questions about her mental state, as even though the cybernetics and fabrications could regenerate her, they didn't do anything for her mental state. They kept her in the project as a test subject for the cybernetics. Officially listed as dead, she no longer existed in records. 

The girl was renamed "Buttons" due to her cutesy nature and also due to the microfabricator arrays appearing like silvery blue buttons on her fur. "As cute as a button" as it was. After that the project was renamed after her and she was officially known as "Project buttons"... as was her project itself to study the experimental cybernetics and try to adapt them for soldiers.

Buttons is pretty much a test subject for the experimental cybernetics, though the scientists largely spend most of time monitoring her as they have a certain parental relationship with her. The regeneration from the cybernetics was amazing though using it on buttons resulted in some unexpected effect of her cancer fusing with the nanites, allowing an integration of the cybernetics and arrays in a way that the project leaders only dreamt of. Unfortunately this weirdness couldn't be replicated with healthy volunteers... and while project buttons produced some usable enhancements of soldiers to fight the eventual invasion of the evil goddess, none of the safe products from project buttons came close to what buttons herself became.

 She's been able to use the fabricator arrays in ways that was previously deemed to be impossible...  At first creating seemingly random equipment from sci-fi origins (as she's an avid sci-fi fan)... Later when the organization tried to train her to be a soldier she created an unknown creature from herself to use as her best friend and to help her think bout that stuff instead. That creature she called "Capz" and is completely sentient and shares her (brain-damaged) personality in many parts and strangely enough even came with it's own fabricator arrays, hence having button's abilities too. She also felt like flying and soon created her own wings as well, resulting in her sort of sticking out like a sore thumb.... and to keep the project secret they had to confine her to the lab.

Of course, even though buttons was treated very well, she was really mischevious... and became very good at escaping the facility for her own happy outings in the city. she eventually returns to her "home" and after several failed attempts to keep her in without hurting her feelings, they sort of gave up as she seems to find her way out all the time. More annoyingly as she can't keep secrets well.... she leaves a few people wondering what she is and what "Project buttons" is....
Fortunately for the millitary the never really tell buttons what she's built to fight. so that remains a secret.

Curiously buttons never seems to age. Her regenerative capabilities appear to lock her at her current age. It's unknown if it's due to her cybernetics or because she thinks she's that age so stays that age.... cause who knows what goes on in her head.


Neolythian interactions:

She's very friendly to the local heroine Whitescar, curiously hanging out with her often.
Though "project buttons" remains a strange sticking point for whitescar... and the other heroes in the city too... because even the police searches on her turn up empty... no records... and the police seem to be mysteriously unwilling to add her info in.... due to orders from "higher up"


As a heronine:

Buttons doesn't actively act as a heroine even though she's got considerable amount of power. She does it kind of on an ad-hoc basis... so villains or criminals that happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time may be in for a shock.


Capz:

Capz is an unknown organism that buttons created from herself. Appears to be some sort of furry dragon thing. Buttons refers to capz as a girl.
They sort of act as a BFF pair and have a strange symbiotic relationship. Capz can teleport to Buttonz at anytime. How that's done is still not understood.
