Name: Stuffit.ZIP
Position: Techari Family Rank 6
Element: Fire
Subtype: Ground
Appearance
Against the grand tradition of scientist garb, Stuffit decides to keep it a bit more variable: She wears an elegant vanilla coat, covering her shoulders down to her feet. Outside, two big front pockets ordained her sides, effective for pulling out instruments or data. She looked off with an egotistical smile, her eyes aflame with red, as she rubbing her soft chin with her fuchsia gloves, her tanned fingers easily readable. Of course if one were to look into her other hand, one could see a particularly... interesting tidbit. That being that her other hand is a flaming compressor, with a screw that allows personal data encryption possible.
She sighed towards no one in particular as she rubbed her neck, her insignia brightly shining by the light of the network below. It had a vanilla folder with what looks to be a zipper in the middle. This was of course in front of her chest, which even if shadowed by her overcoat, it still became visible for any to see. Then, you would see what looked like red and yellow racing stripes oriented through the middle of her orange bodysuit, heading across her normal-sized hips.
Her legs followed the manner of how her stomach was described, with the addition of a vanilla shin guard as well as matching boots. Although, looking there was not a good idea as the right one now arches towards your head.
Personality
A mad scientist at heart, she just loves to prove her superiority to others. She's very scientific and inquisitive, only caring about the experiment at hand. She also holds a lot of the mad scientist qualities. Here are her qualities that fit the Mad Scientist Bill:
- A sadistic sort, she would laugh manically if she saw her "Guinea Pig" in pain from her experiments.
- If somebody ignores her advice or her plan, she'll go on a rant about them not being appreciative (This stems from being forgotten as a specialist in Data Compression)
- If she's thinking to herself about her experiments, she'll never think about the wellbeing of the test subject, only of what she'll use the results for.
The Mad Scientist Qualities of her personality. She's an avid lover of green tea, long walks around Hades Net, and listening to jazz music. She treasures similarly intellectual types and she would gladly lecture any who aren't. She'd be handy paired up with others if it weren't for her chatty attitude. Some mafia rumors even state she could go on for days upon days just lecturing... of course those are just rumors. Yet, you should never call her a janitor or a delivery man, that will only get you a flaming compressor smacked into your nose.

Melee Charged Attack: A pretty basic overhead swing with her flaming compressor hand.

Name: CrissCross.EXE
Position: Techari Family Rank 5
Element: Normal
Subtype: Summon
Appearance
CrissCross is a rather unassuming female navi of below-average height. For all intents and purposes, she looks like a normal human girl with dark feathery hair and a white bodysuit that covers only a portion of her body. Her piercing violet eyes and stark features, however, suggest to all who view her that this cute young woman is much more than meets the eye. A golden gauntlet adorns her right hand, which flips open to reveal a complex series of buttons and circuitry characteristic of the Techari family.
Personality
CrissCross' special ability enables her to emulate a soulcross-like state with virtually anyone, which naturally, transforms her personality along with it. As a result of the forced transformations, however, Criss' own base personality is extremely volatile and unstable. Knowing that the bonds of trust, friendship, and love can be simulated to a horrifying degree has caused her to be extremely paranoid and antisocial, unable to know if what she feels is real or fake. Her experiences with real and simulated crosses — and the blurred lines that distinguish the two — drive her to question the very foundations of relationships. At her very core, she desires nothing more than to feel genuine love and affection, even if she understands that she wouldn't be able to tell the difference from the emotions simulated by her own abilities.

Name: EvolutionMan.EXE
Position: Techari Family Rank 4
Element: Aqua
Subtype: Variable
Appearance
EvolutionMan's original form is not a man at all, but rather a sort of shimmering, light blue puddle of colonized lifeforms. The only semblance of an actual navi is the yellow navi emblem that floats in the primordial ooze, bearing the shape of a hand rising from a puddle in white. This form is most natural for him and each successively more complex form requires more of the energy of his cells to maintain. The cells of his body spread pain throughout each other. The cells are symbiotic and will all die off if enough energy is lost from the system.
Personality
EvolutionMan is supremely interested in the furthering of the navi race. He believes, therefore, that fights between navis are necessary for this purpose to weed out the weakest of the species. He wants battles to include as many fatalities as possible due to the overabundance of what he believes to be "trash navis" on the net, following the idea that the strong survivors from battles will be the superior navis. Interestingly, he is also highly interested in crosses, as he believes they are the closest a navi can come to creating an inheritor with traits of both a mother and a father, whom he believes will carry over the best traits of both navis.
Besides his scientific sounding views, EvolutionMan is nearly a Bloodhound in his enthusiasm towards death and killing. He refuses to participate in any research that does not involve making killing handier. He's almost mad in his love for deletion; even the death of his allies in combat occasionally brings him joy, as he simply assumes that they were one of the weak navis that deserved to be deleted. Because of these traits, he and his operator are huge contributors to the Bloodhounds as well as Techari. He's especially proud of the Techari marvel, Azrael, who now heads the Bloodhounds department. He does not get along with Meridian at all, as he sees her work directly counterproductive to his ideas.
Interestingly, different portions of his body seem to feel different emotions simultaneously, however, the most numerous colony of cells seems to form the "predominant opinion" and force it upon others, forming his true personality.
Custom Weapons
EvolutionMan releases colonies of his tiny organisms. These organisms tear and tweak at the DNA of the enemy, warping them into something new. Whether or not the modification will be "evolution" or not is as good as a guess.

Name: Meridian.EXE
Position: Techari Family Rank 3
Element: Normal
Subtype: Recovery
Appearance
Meridian is a short female navi with a skin tone matching that of those from the far east. Her long black hair is kept in two tremendous loops behind her on either side with the bangs pulled up from her forehead. Her eyes are a light brown color and have a constant squinty look, but her mouth is very expressive. Her body is slender with relatively small breasts but otherwise aspects that most would find desirable. She wears an outfit based on a traditional Yumland dress style with a very high-tucked, long-sleeved white robe of a light silk fabric and a loose red skirt, tied up with a white and black sash that holds her navi emblem, a series of three upright needles. Her navi suit is a dark purple color, almost black. She wears no gloves but does wear black short-topped shoes with white soles. At the back of her sash is a large pouch from which she pulls her many tools used in acupuncture.
Personality
Meridian is a whimsical navi who invests a lot in her own ability to enjoy herself. She tends to be pretty empathetic with the rest of the mafia while looking down at the Netpolice as a bunch of stuffed shirts, not based on any event that has occurred in her life, but rather just for enforcing societal norms. She has a tendency to act promiscuous at times and has a distinct taste for non-human navis. She explains that their bodies fascinate her and she is always eager to attempt new acupuncture techniques on unfamiliar body types. She finds mechanical or non-organic bodies to be a huge turn off and pities navis with such bodies for not being able to experience the joy of the sense of touch. She loves misbehaving and likes taking risks, but she doesn't particularly enjoy fighting.
Custom Weapons
Meridian throws one of her long, sharp acupuncture needles. This needle isn't intended for any therapeutic piercing, that much is obvious. When charged she can throw a whole box of needles.

Name: Holo.EXE
Position: Techari Family Rank 2
Element: Elec
Subtype: Bug
Appearance
To truly describe Holo, one must look at two elements: the base and the projection. The base is a computerized projector about a foot tall, a foot in half in diameter, cylindrical in overall shape, and made mobile by four short mechanical legs evenly spaced around the outside. The outside shell of the base is a polished silver color, with glowing green trim between separated plates and in the leg joints. Spaced evenly between the legs are four laser microturrets consisting of a dome projection with a hole in one side and an inch long projection. Each turret has 360 degree horizontal mobility and 180 degree vertical (in this case, pointing away from the base, since the turrets are sideways).
On top of the base are four rectangular projectors, aligned with the turrets below and angled about 14 degrees each in towards a focal point about three feet above, in the center of the projection. Each of the projectors are mounted on a swivel.
The projection, meanwhile, is a hologram of a relatively featureless man. The hologram itself indistinct tends to fade into static occasionally, but always manages to display, at the very least, a six foot tall man in a labcoat with light hair. Or rather, it appears light because the entire image gives off a soft blue light, rendering other colors darker and lighter shades, with only faint hints at what they were truly supposed to be. For example, one could guess that Holo's hair was supposed to be gray or even blonde, but it appears as white with the slightest hints of gray and light blue. The projection is also occasionally seen carrying a clipboard, which appears to be a mix of blue and brown in color, hinting that it should have been solid brown.
Though not immoible, the projection usually only makes simple movements, such as moving the mouth while speaking, or pointing. Anything particularly complex is choppy and appears to lag a second or two behind when it should have occurred.
Personality
Empty. Holo has little to no personality, being little more than a shell himself, and definitely experiences no true emotion, though he can emulate it in a pinch, as though his only experience with feeling is reading a book on it. He always speaks in an emotionless voice that's only distinguishing feature is that it is occasionally drowned in static. His language is extremely detached and often highly technical, as though he were reading a lab report aloud.

Name: Boson.BAT
Position: Techari Family Rank 1
Element: Normal
Subtype: Team
Appearance
Bosons are particles that can occupy the same place in space as each other. Thus, Boson.BAT is actually five navis occupying the same program. The five components are W, Z, Photon, Gluon, and Graviton. Boson goes through shifts to display one component at any given time. Only W and Z can surface simultaneously.
W is a giant of a navi, standing almost nine feet net equivalent. He is decidedly male, heavily tanned, and extraordinarily muscular, but with somewhat thin, flexible hands capable of taking things apart easily. His face seems to alternate between expressionless and scowling, his eyes are brown and usually narrowed to the point of almost being closed, and his hair is dark brown, fairly short, and frayed at the ends.
W's outfit consists of heavy iron plates arranged into body armor, a helmet, and plated boots. The plates are linked together by ropes that appear to be made of pure energy. Excess of this drifts across the surface of the armor, making full revolutions around the perimeter at a rate of one per minute.
Strangely, the edges of the armor plates show evidence of deterioration.
Similar to W, Z is huge. It stands a full nine feet, a towering metal golem made up of metal plates similar to W's armor and encasing a superheavy core. Z appears to be a complete neutral. It has no human features, no gender, no inclinations toward combat specializations, and the metal armor is a dull gray. The core, meanwhile, is a solid black with the exception of a silicon ring running vertically around it, rotates at a rate of once per minute and is only visible because of the gaps in the plate armor, which are open and not bound together by anything visible. Despite the lack of human features, the armor does take a vaguely humanoid shape, that of a broad-shouldered, hulking figure with no discernible head. As a contrast to the rest of the body the hands are composed of miniscule plates that form a flexible and highly detailed structure. Like W's, these hands are designed to rip things apart with ease. Also like W, the edges of all of these plates appear to have deteriorated slightly.
Despite W and Z's sizes, Photon stands out the most of the five. Though she stands a rather unassuming 5'5" net equivalent, she's...well, bright. Her entire body is capable of, and usually does, give off a brilliant white light.
When not glowing, Photon is still albino in appearance, with unnaturally pale skin, white hair that falls to the middle of her back, and red eyes. She wears a white low-cut dress that falls only just past her knees. The dress appears plain at first glance, though a closer look reveals that wave patterns in faint shades of all colors of the visible spectrum run across the entire surface. The only other things Photon can be considered "wearing" are two translucent rings, both three feet in diameter and five inches in width, that float around Photon's body with no supports. The rings spin around her at about one revolution per minute, and fade between all colors of the visible spectrum and sport a constantly shifting pattern of brighter waves flowing through a darker background.
Contrary to the huge W and Z and the radiant Photon, Gluon appears mostly insignificant. He is a child, unnaturally thin, whose body is split into two halves by color. Each half is characterized by a color pattern consisting of one primary color and an inversion of the second. In his natural state he is half red and inverted blue, and the other half blue and inverted red (appears shades of red/yellow and blue/green).
Gluon's clothing consists of a long-sleeve shirt, pants, and boots, each of which follow the same color patterns as his body. His hair is short and also follows this, as do his eyes. A gluelike substance drips from his hands when he battles. If allowed to fall on the floor, the glue will flow around Gluon in a circle, making approximately one revolution per minute.
Graviton's design, meanwhile, is the most intricate of the five. Similar to Photon, she is female, stands about 5'5", and has unnaturally pale skin. Both her eyes and hair are black, however, and the latter is only about shoulder-length.
Graviton's outfit consists of an ankle-length dress with a flowing universe pattern across the surface. The pattern looks reminiscent of the Hubble Deep Field picture, containing a massive array of stars and galaxies that drift across the surface of the garment in a slow rotating pattern, making a full revolution around the dress in about thirty seconds. Graviton also wears black heeled sandals and a bracelet on her right arm that looks like a cluster of small rocks gathered and stuck around her wrist. As if to confirm this theory, three small spherical rocks orbit around Graviton at all times. They seem to serve no practical purpose.
Finally, Graviton typically sits on a three-foot diameter model of a gas giant, which drifts about an inch off the ground when she moves. The planet model is usually indigo and featureless, though occasionally discolored bands and storms appear on the surface. Like the pattern on her dress, the planet model rotates at a rate of twice a minute.
It is interesting to note that while the component files of Graviton exist, she has never actually been seen.
Personality
Each of Boson's component navis have their own distinct personality.
Surprisingly for his size, W is fairly weak-willed. Though to other navis he can appear forceful and even violent, he is one of the first to give into the demands of the other components of Boson. He is also not very charismatic, or a good leader, as he can only see one side of an issue. In a way, this is a good thing, as what he sees of that one side he sees very well, but when he is easily swayed by the other side he will stop thinking about the issue entirely. Many who have seen this side of Boson describe his personality as toxic.
W is described as "one of" the first to give into the demands of the other components simply because there is one who will do it even sooner: Z. Much like its appearance, Z is a complete neutral in personality. It speaks in a mechanical voice devoid of emotion that is usually unintentionally abrasive in what it says, despite the fact that it typically takes the side of least resistance. When he's not being swayed almost instantaneously, however, he is brutally objective. Of course, because of its lack of emotion and resistance, it knows no concept of subtlety or restraint. For this reason, Z is also the most aggressive component, as while the others would consider pros and cons of something before doing something, Z will simply act unless held back by the other four.
Photon has the strongest personality of the five, and is thus typically the dominant personality. She is often cheerful and energetic, but also commanding. She also has the most morality of the five, though even that much is questionable considering Boson's line of work. Photon is also the most knowledgeable and the most capable of expressing this knowledge, and as such is the one that usually interacts with other Techari navis, especially Altair. She is known for using waves as metaphors to explain concepts to lesser navis, as well as to fight with.
Gluon, as predicted by his appearance, is rather childish. He is too young to understand the complex concepts that most of Techari's higher ranked navis work with. This childlike mind, however, is also his greatest strength, as it comes with the infinite imagination of a child. Gluon is also one of the first to point out flaws in an idea. As long as he has enough understanding of something to grasp the general concept, he can find any glaring flaws in it, ones that the other four components would never notice until pointed out despite his claims that it's "right in front of them".
Gluon is easily attached to objects, concepts, and people. He also strongly values teamwork, perhaps because of this. Despite arguably being the strongest component, Gluon's also somewhat of a pacifist, possibly also due to the attachment.
Because she's never been observed and arguably never even surfaced, many would be quick to label Graviton as shy. In reality, however, she prefers to operate from behind the scenes. It's true that she dislikes direct contact, and will find ways to avoid showing herself, however, so such claims are far from unfounded. Because of this, however, much of Graviton's personality can only be inferred. For example, her preference for operating behind the scenes comes from her having a heavy hand in most of Boson's work but never taking credit. As another example, she is the least likely to leave opponents alive, as given by the fact that the only evidence of her presence in fights consists of enemies smashed into the ground until dead or traces where something was sucked into the vortex. Whether this means she is cruel and ruthless or simply thorough, however, it's difficult to say.
Overall, Boson acts most effectively by combining all five personalities. Because of this, Photon, as a leader and communicator, appears most commonly, with Gluon, being second. W and Z usually appear only when needed, and Graviton, though evidence of her influence is felt, never appears at all.

Gluon's clothing consists of a long-sleeve shirt, pants, and boots, each of which follow the same color patterns as his body. His hair is short and also follows this, as do his eyes. A gluelike substance drips from his hands when he battles. If allowed to fall on the floor, the glue will flow around Gluon in a circle, making approximately one revolution per minute.
Graviton's design, meanwhile, is the most intricate of the five. Similar to Photon, she is female, stands about 5'5", and has unnaturally pale skin. Both her eyes and hair are black, however, and the latter is only about shoulder-length.
Graviton's outfit consists of an ankle-length dress with a flowing universe pattern across the surface. The pattern looks reminiscent of the Hubble Deep Field picture, containing a massive array of stars and galaxies that drift across the surface of the garment in a slow rotating pattern, making a full revolution around the dress in about thirty seconds. Graviton also wears black heeled sandals and a bracelet on her right arm that looks like a cluster of small rocks gathered and stuck around her wrist. As if to confirm this theory, three small spherical rocks orbit around Graviton at all times. They seem to serve no practical purpose.
Finally, Graviton typically sits on a three-foot diameter model of a gas giant, which drifts about an inch off the ground when she moves. The planet model is usually indigo and featureless, though occasionally discolored bands and storms appear on the surface. Like the pattern on her dress, the planet model rotates at a rate of twice a minute.
It is interesting to note that while the component files of Graviton exist, she has never actually been seen.
Personality
Each of Boson's component navis have their own distinct personality.
Surprisingly for his size, W is fairly weak-willed. Though to other navis he can appear forceful and even violent, he is one of the first to give into the demands of the other components of Boson. He is also not very charismatic, or a good leader, as he can only see one side of an issue. In a way, this is a good thing, as what he sees of that one side he sees very well, but when he is easily swayed by the other side he will stop thinking about the issue entirely. Many who have seen this side of Boson describe his personality as toxic.
W is described as "one of" the first to give into the demands of the other components simply because there is one who will do it even sooner: Z. Much like its appearance, Z is a complete neutral in personality. It speaks in a mechanical voice devoid of emotion that is usually unintentionally abrasive in what it says, despite the fact that it typically takes the side of least resistance. When he's not being swayed almost instantaneously, however, he is brutally objective. Of course, because of its lack of emotion and resistance, it knows no concept of subtlety or restraint. For this reason, Z is also the most aggressive component, as while the others would consider pros and cons of something before doing something, Z will simply act unless held back by the other four.
Photon has the strongest personality of the five, and is thus typically the dominant personality. She is often cheerful and energetic, but also commanding. She also has the most morality of the five, though even that much is questionable considering Boson's line of work. Photon is also the most knowledgeable and the most capable of expressing this knowledge, and as such is the one that usually interacts with other Techari navis, especially Altair. She is known for using waves as metaphors to explain concepts to lesser navis, as well as to fight with.
Gluon, as predicted by his appearance, is rather childish. He is too young to understand the complex concepts that most of Techari's higher ranked navis work with. This childlike mind, however, is also his greatest strength, as it comes with the infinite imagination of a child. Gluon is also one of the first to point out flaws in an idea. As long as he has enough understanding of something to grasp the general concept, he can find any glaring flaws in it, ones that the other four components would never notice until pointed out despite his claims that it's "right in front of them".
Gluon is easily attached to objects, concepts, and people. He also strongly values teamwork, perhaps because of this. Despite arguably being the strongest component, Gluon's also somewhat of a pacifist, possibly also due to the attachment.
Because she's never been observed and arguably never even surfaced, many would be quick to label Graviton as shy. In reality, however, she prefers to operate from behind the scenes. It's true that she dislikes direct contact, and will find ways to avoid showing herself, however, so such claims are far from unfounded. Because of this, however, much of Graviton's personality can only be inferred. For example, her preference for operating behind the scenes comes from her having a heavy hand in most of Boson's work but never taking credit. As another example, she is the least likely to leave opponents alive, as given by the fact that the only evidence of her presence in fights consists of enemies smashed into the ground until dead or traces where something was sucked into the vortex. Whether this means she is cruel and ruthless or simply thorough, however, it's difficult to say.
Overall, Boson acts most effectively by combining all five personalities. Because of this, Photon, as a leader and communicator, appears most commonly, with Gluon, being second. W and Z usually appear only when needed, and Graviton, though evidence of her influence is felt, never appears at all.

Name: Executable.EXE
Position: Techari Family Assistant Leader
Element: Elec
Subtype: Speed
Appearance
Executable is a cat with yellow fur, combined with streaks of white here and there. Usually seen on all fours, he isn't really seen to be all that tall, and even if he stands on two legs, his height is about a short 5' 2". His eyes are a bright yellow, his whiskers are long and when he smiles, shiny white fangs are bared unabashedly. His short ears tend to flick around whenever his interest is peaked. His attire is a short white lab coat that goes down to a bit below his hips, most often unbuttoned and let down to touch the floor, with his long tail hidden under the coat. His hands and feet are specialized mechanical claws, transformable into many different configurations and settings. They are always polished to a shine, as the feline Navi is proud of them.
Personality
Executable's way of doing things is fast, fast, fast. His arduous and tough work as the Techari's only main NetNavigator systems specialist doesn't slow him down, and he blazes through his many, many pet projects like lightning. That doesn't mean he's not careful with details, of course, otherwise he wouldn't be where he is today. After he's done with his daily truckloads of work, (way earlier than other people) he can often be seen lazing around, taking a nap somewhere. During conversations, he tends to run on and on about all his achievements, greatness, manliness, and other things he likes to brag about. He's a terrible suck-up to his only superior, Altair, and other people he looks up to, but treats his subordinates kindly despite his vain behaviour. He even has a sense of humour. However, much of it is dangerous (taken form in his projects), much to his co-workers' chagrin.
Custom Weapons
Executable's usual weapon is his variable claws, which he can change into whatever he fancies, like a cannon, claws, knuckles, a spear, a baseball bat....

Name: Altair.EXE
Position: Techari Family Leader
Element: Fire
Subtype: Wind
Appearance
Altair is a slender navi of moderate height with an excellent figure. Her face always seems bright, no matter her expression. This feature seems to be accented by her brilliant blue eyes. Contrasting this is dark hair, near black with blue streaks running through it, silken in appearance and extending to just below her shoulders.
Altair's outfit consists of a light blue dress that extends to just below her knees, with slits on either side coming up to just below her waist. The dress has a star pattern on the front, and a pattern that appears to be made up of dark blue scales running in lines on the back. She also wears dark blue boots with the same scale pattern, silver gauntlets, and a blue pendant on a thin silver chain. Each of the boots, as well as the pendant, have Altair's navi emblem on it (on the outside, at approximately ankle level for the boots): A black background with a white four-point star within a silver circle.
There are several gadgets embedded in Altair's gauntlets and a keypad in which she inputs codes to activate each. What all is programmed into the gauntlets is unknown even to her, but she has been seen using an arm cannon, a telescope, an extendable laser blade, a miniature fusion generator, medical tools, extendable wires, a random sound effects player, and several other Techari-made gadgets.
Personality
Contrary to what one would think of a netmafia navi, Altair acts like a very friendly person. Perhaps nice to a fault, she often tries to engage in small talk with her enemies and enjoys playing around with them during battle. Around male navis, she is sometimes flirtatious, but never to the point of being slutty. She also has a tendency to try and sweet-talk her way into getting what she needs before actually resorting to violence.
Custom Weapons
Fusion-powered gauntlets. They trigger reactions upon impact to enhance punches, etc at melee range and, at a distance, allow Altair to fire bursts of light and heat or create remote detonations.
