Alcippe is a demigod and the main protagonist of the Giantslayer Trilogy by Amber Jayne. She is functionally an android, transplanted into a talos body after sustaining irreversible injuries to much of her body and nervous system.
Appearance & Physiology
Alcippe stands a little over 180cm tall. Her teal hair is widely compared to the sea, while her eyes are a deep ocean blue. Her skin tone is described as the colour of sunlight refracted through seafoam. Her talos body is modelled off that Ares and Aphrodite blessed her with when they made her a holy cyborg four years prior, and is sculpted to convey her athletic musculature and demure and humble A-cups. While most of her body is made from hard alloy, certain erogenous zones instead use a flexible pseudometal to loosely resemble the texture of silicone or soft tissue.
As of Killers in a Cage, Alcippe has a retractable rat tail for thermoregulation purposes.
Prior to her blessing as a holy cyborg, Alcippe had a splotchy complexion and brown hair with split ends.
Project Talos
Originally designed to be a more advanced successor to standard Nymphs before Zeus's mandates against advanced AI rendered it obsolete, the talos platform has been modified to instead house and interface with Alcippe's soul.
Project Talos is highly classified, and the true nature of the talos is not public knowledge, known only to a handful of Gods and mortals.
The Handmaiden-class
This class of eidolon was an early project of Aphrodite's, highly compact at under three metres tall, in essence a highly advanced exo-suit or power armour. Like the talos platform it was abandoned in the early years after the Titanomachy, due to their vulnerable size and their supportive role being made obsolete by drones. Alcippe's Handmaiden was made viable only thanks to the usage of orichalcum in its design, and is thus never expected to be replicated. Despite its incredibly small size, the metal allows it to sustain direct blows from other eidolons and even colossi an order of magnitude more massive than it.
Castor & Polydeuces
Alcippe's pet rats, named after two honoured pilots who once served in the Contingent of Thunder. They're believed to be escaped lab rats, with white fur and red eyes. Alcippe found them in her apartment and captured them, building an enclosure and caring for them rather than having them exterminated. She regards them as her sons.
