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.
This article is withholding a lot of information, for now. Hi, Amber here, I'm holding off on adding any significant amount of info to this page until Rat in a Corner has been out for a little while.
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.
