**Psychology:** Write a couple of paragraphs about your character's worldview, thought process, and psychology here.
+
**Psychology:** Merril is a mind of taking back what was taken. In her time as a L'manel, Merril was always focused around maintaining her strength and holding true to discipline. She used to be filled with nothing but vice, but the LSDF tempered her into a true fighting machine. When she was in the process of being converted into the being she is now, violent attacks on her unstable form forced her to adopt a counter-aggressive mindset. She reacts strongly to the emotions of those around her, given her psionically supercharged nature. Since self-imposed isolation, her state has become more vicious and capricious than before.

Little girl grew up, wasn't so little anymore. Her bonded animal was some feral feline creature, and her personality grew to match - or perhaps awakened to match would be better suited. There was a certain hedonism, a certain boundless energy that perpetrated her being. Even with that energy, her compulsive need to fix things was not quenched, and she turned to the medical profession for more of a challenge. Merril knew she never had the patience to be a doctor, so she went for the military almost immediately after receiving her training. It was the perfect outlet.

She excelled at hand-to-hand combat, thanks in no small amount to her breeding and bonded animal. Her marksmanship was on-par with the average soldier, though she tended to do better with more of the primitive guns than the more modern plasma slingers. She preferred accuracy to quantity, in any event, and excelled where on shot mattered. It wasn't all fun and games, however. Her energy got her into trouble more than a few times, and she received. Still, she made it onto a ship (LSDF Ki'ala) and served diligently, plying fixes to uniforms and helping with the usual injuries that come from a back-line patrol ship.

The ship through a catastrophic malfunction went down over a jungle and crash landed, killing many of the occupants. Merril was one of the few to survive with lesser injuries, thanks to her regeneration capabilities. She rescued who she could, and salvaged clothing and gear from those she couldn't. All this trauma, all this stress, it couldn't stop her. She was a girl of action, of movement, and stopping at any moment meant giving up. It was here that she learned how to use her Bond's shapeshifting abilities to good use, using claws for everything, from pulling shards out of wounds to pulling apart metal and fabric to climbing trees for food and so on.

It was nothing short of a miracle that help arrived a mere week after the crash. Merril and the handful of survivors were lauded as heroes of evolution, triumphing over nature and surviving against all odds. The girl didn't care all that much for titles and the like. They bored her. She just liked to fix things, and to keep fighting. She eventually got a reassignment after some much deserved and dreaded military leave -

The ship's mission was to find one of the first vessels the Lorath sent to scout their universe, long missing and presumed dead. After many months of searching, they came upon the husk of the craft. There, a structol lifeform had effectively devoured and overtaken its crew. The Akahar had thought they'd taken precautions necessary to keep from getting infected, but the lifeform had begun to infest Merril. When they returned to the Akahar, Merril was threatened by her compatriots and fired upon once she set off quarantine alarms - so she ran. Her evolutions was spurred by the coming hours, forcing herself to devour that which tried to take her over. In the end, the Akahar was scuttled, only a fraction of the crew remaining. Merril had achieved a new form, grand and dancing among the stars. She separated herself and flew off into the unknown, to regain strength and to settle like sand in water.

* A capsule containing precious things, including a picture of La'al when she was young, Young Merril with family, graduation from the academy, hers and her Va'haar's first teeth lost, and a broken knitting needle.
The LSDF Akahar was a ship sent on a mission to find a missing scout vessel, the Mok'ro and determine what had happened to it. On it, she met Keib, the XO, and Aiesu. Aiesu, the construct, really interested Merril with her apparent spunkiness (because civilians NEVER challenge military!), and the duo hit it off. Sort of.

-
Merril spent a large majority of her waiting time during the search knitting sweaters for the crew and dealing with day-to-day boo-boos. The captain of the ship attempted to betray the crew, selling them out to pirates - but Keib and the rest managed to drive them off. Soon a supply ship came and swapped out the badly injured crewmembers for fresh ones and they continued their search.

<del>==== Chapter 2 ====

Merril spends several days off knitting sweaters for all the robots on board while the ship searches for the Mok'ro. After a pleasant exchange with Null, Merril and the others were called together to finally investigate the finally located Mok'ro. It was the beginning of the end. Merril made bets. The mission was simple. 1. Investigate the ship. 2. Find survivors. 3. Find the ARIA. 4. Find the black box. They arrived on ship after Merril broke up an argument with Veronica and Mars. The cause [[http://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/chapter-2-0-answer-me.14921/page-4#post-225349|was an asteroid]], filled with something not seen for a very, very long time. There were people fused with the wall, horrible sights.

And that's when the tingle that signified [[http://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/chapter-2-0-answer-me.14921/page-4#post-226610|the end of Merril]] began. She heard voices that weren't there. Her visor fogged. The threat was given a name, Sourcian. Merril got more and more aggressive as memories began to run wild in her head. They found all of ONE survivor, Mara "Longwalk" Korro L'manel who developed an odd fascination with Merril. They were given an update: Remove the antimatter fueling the corrupted ARIA so that it couldn't FTL. Merril told herself a childhood mantra as they walked and she felt worse. "I Am Strong." They succeeded in removing one canister, but before they could get rid of the second antimatter canister, the ARIA attacked. Gough took the blow, and Merril treated him. After probably killing the ARIA with acid. And then Mars tried to destroy the Mok'ro, which would have led to the execution of not only the away team, but the rest of the Akahar by extension of failure of the important mission. So Merril decided to [[http://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/chapter-2-0-answer-me.14921/page-6#post-234583|blow out Mars's kneecap]] with her pistol. And then they tackled her and extracted the team. [[http://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/chapter-2-0-answer-me.14921/page-7#post-235069|Merril never felt so alone]].

[[http://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/chapter-3-0-to-tear-free.16365/|Everything goes horribly wrong.]] They tried to stop her and her corruption, but all they manged to do was take out her right arm. Korro assisted in her escape, and the two fled into the ship while the extremely unstable Merril bled not just silver, but [[http://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/chapter-3-0-to-tear-free.16365/#post-236985|memories]] into the feeds as well. At first, her [[http://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/chapter-3-0-to-tear-free.16365/#post-237614|memories]] were limited to a small radius, based on her proximity tho the others. But as time went on, and Sourcian influence in her body was consumed by L'manel regeneration into [[http://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/chapter-3-0-to-tear-free.16365/page-2#post-239186|something new]]. Korro tried to keep Merril safe while on some ludicrous holy rampage fueled by her own respective corruption. And then she started weaponizing her corruption. She could fight back against those that would try and stop this growth.

She accepted her [[http://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/chapter-3-0-to-tear-free.16365/page-3#post-240396|burden]]. She began stalking the team when they finally realized the Freespacers turned against them. They made plans. [[http://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/chapter-3-0-to-tear-free.16365/page-4#post-241645|Blared warnings]]. Merril continued her stalking, improving herself as she went. She was so close to being stable, but was in great danger from the things that destroyed her arm. So, [[http://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/chapter-3-0-to-tear-free.16365/page-6#post-245216|she tore off]] blast plating and used it for more armor. And she needed more food, since her targets wouldn't let her have a bite. So she ate [[http://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/chapter-3-0-to-tear-free.16365/page-7#post-248767|livestock]] before stalking lives once more. But her regeneration was still painful, and her morals mixed. She wasn't sure what was truth from her past life and what the sourcian bits tried to convince her of before they were erased anymore. [[http://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/chapter-3-0-to-tear-free.16365/page-8#post-250676|She finally struck]] taking the un-life of a synced freespacer before dragging it away and [[http://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/chapter-3-0-to-tear-free.16365/page-8#post-250935|corrupting it]] with what little instability she had left. She listened to their communications, heard their plans to escape. But to separate and take powerful weapons. Powerful things Merril knew to be made of Structol. She hungered. So she put her puppet into play, distracting the escape group while she closed in on the priest and the pilot. The priest made a show to cover his tracks and destroy the other WinterII prototype. . . or so he thought. Merril was too fast she stabilized, forcing one [[http://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/chapter-3-0-to-tear-free.16365/page-9#post-252525|last set of memories]] to synchonize.

[[http://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/chapter-3-0-to-tear-free.16365/page-9#post-253127|Merril became something new.]] Something fast. Something dangerous. There was holdover from the Sourcian pieces. Ha'riel tried to destroy both and the two corrupted ships. [[http://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/chapter-3-0-to-tear-free.16365/page-10#post-253394|Merril didn't appreciate that]]. But her mind was settling. She remembered how to be free.

So, she tried to [[http://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/chapter-3-0-to-tear-free.16365/page-10#post-253998|enjoy herself]] Merril knew she had not much time left, [[http://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/chapter-3-0-to-tear-free.16365/page-10#post-254117|maybe.]] After a tense standoff, Merril got on board the [[http://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/chapter-3-0-to-tear-free.16365/page-12#post-255591|Mydoned]].
