Presta Hocus (NPC UPDATE: TIMESKIP)

Presta Hocus

^(NPC)

Character's Name: Presta Hocus

Nickname(s): Presta

Gender: Female

Age: 18

Appearance/Picture: Presta stands at 5'7" and has a slender build. She has emerald green eyes that contrast with her pink hair. The rest can be seen in the image above.

Race: Human

Alignment: Lawful Good

Personality: Presta is quite level headed and a clear thinker. She very rarely lets her morals and values get in the way of her thinking. Logical would be a good way to describe her. Her parents are slightly racist towards any and all alien species, since a lot of trouble is because of them, and some of those ideas and values have rubbed off on the pink-haired girl. She tries to keep an open mind and treat everybody fairly, but often times she will favor her fellow humans over any aliens. After the demon war, Presta's parents despise Saiyans and Demons because of the damage they caused. She, on the other hand, is a lot less judgmental because of the war stories she heard from Pico.

Presta is quite possibly the smartest human being alive, and on top of that, might even be one of the smartest beings in the universe. However, due to her quiet and humble nature, she doesn't make her intellect obvious. Everybody who knows her can tell she is smart, but only her closest friends and allies know her true intelligence.

History: Presta's life has been nothing out of the ordinary. She lives with her two parents and older brother in the South City suburbs. Her main focus has been her academics, so that way she can eventually, and hopefully, become the CEO for Capsule Corp. Presta has never gotten lower than an A on anything ever in her entire life, and it's not even a challenge for her. Everybody at South City High School already knows she is the smartest student by far, despite only being a freshman. When Pico approached her about his costume and potential ki training, she was all in. It was a chance for her to put her knowledge to the test on something other than school; it was so exciting.

The main source of Presta's intelligence was her father. That's not to say her mom is not smart, in fact she is a teacher at one of the junior high schools in South City. Rather, Presta's dad was the head technician for the government, meaning he deals with a lot of technology for the planet in general. He has taught his children a lot of things he learned, even giving Presta his laptop for her birthday. If it weren't for him, Presta would probably not be as half as smart as she is today, so a lot of credit goes to him.

The government apparently knew of an impending war before the Demon War actually happened, but even still, their knowledge of it was not good by any means. Presta decided to take matters into her own hands. During the three years since then, the girl has improved her intellect tenfold. Anywhere she could find information to learn, she learned it. In reality, if Presta wanted to, she could have a PhD in three different areas of study. While learning about hundreds of Earthbound things, Presta also learned a lot about space and the creatures above. Her new friends, Azuki and Shadic, taught her as much as they were capable of, but the girl's thirst for knowledge was not so easily quenched.

Over the time, her general knowledge increased exponentially. The girl's intellect towers over those of people like Quantum and Shadic and rivals that of Sonnelion and other such beings. Her fragility, however, makes her a liability on any direct battlefield, which is why she likes to work behind the scenes through the group's communication devices. Unlike a certain Saiyan/Tuffle, who is also an apparent genius, Presta knows a battle she cannot win when she sees one.

Presta's knowledge is a lot less obvious than one would expect. While it is well known around South City High School that she is by far the smartest student, only Shadic, Azuki, John Smith, Big Shot, and, of course, Pico know just how smart she truly is. Her knowledge is her greatest weapon, so much in fact that it slightly increased her power level.

Power Level: 4

*She Smart - Presta has become one of the smartest characters in the universe and is easily one of the smartest humans. She has immeasurable intellect, with knowledge on various species (Earth and alien), technologies, people, history (especially Earth, but some regarding Vegeta and Namek), science, mathematics, etc. If there is information on it, there is a good chance Presta knows about it.

*Her Father's Old Laptop - Presta has access to her dad's old work laptop, which was given to her as a gift for her birthday. The laptop has a ton of protections from potential hackers and viruses, plus access to the government database, allowing her to do a lot of things a person on a normal laptop could never safely do.

*Photographic Memory - Presta has photographic memory, meaning all she has to do is see something once and she will never forget it.

Techniques:

*OVERFLOW ERROR - Since Presta has become so intelligent, it physically hurts people who try to read her mind or tamper with it in any way (this is essentially a flavored mind blocker. Since her FOC and PL are so low, it doesn't actually hurt anybody, but it does prevent them from reading her mind or accessing it at all).

Weaknesses:

*Cannot fly

*Cannot sense ki

*Cannot use ki

Items:

*Cellphone - For contacting people or doing research on the go.

*Dad's Old Laptop - For doing research, hacking, other computer stuff, often can be used to help Pico (by opening doors and stuff)

*Communication Device - An ear piece that lets Presta speak to Pico, Shadic, Azuki, and/or John. Developed by the girl herself, and funded by John Smith, this device is controlled by the wearer's mind.

NPC Q/A:

1. What is the purpose of this NPC?

    -She is Pico/Quantum's best friend/sidekick and often appears in his threads (either via voice through his communicator or in person). She is only 4 PL, so she causes no threat to anybody at all, and she knows better than to try and fight anybody. Now she is friends with Shadic, Azuki, and John Smith as well, so she might appear in threads with them as well (only via voice, though.)

    -Presta may be smarter now, as she is meant to be one of, if not the, smartest characters on the site, but that does not mean she will be used to metagame information most characters would not have. For example, she might know a lot about Saiyans, but she doesn't know about specific ones like Goku, Vegeta, Peregrinus, etc.

2. Do you give the staff permission to use this NPC (if it gets out of hand, etc)
