HISTORY
EVENTS ( Content warnings throughout: Homicide, cults, indoctrination, references to arranged marriage within the family, physical and psychological abuse against children and adults, mind control and body horror )

CHANGING HER HAIR
As Robin's hair began to lighten, her mother forced her to have it dyed dark brown to match all of her siblings. This symbolized her as an outcast, routinely being taken away from them to correct her appearance — The Family's words — and made to feel like it was a personal failing, further indoctrinating her to fall in line, as even something as inconsequential as her natural hair color was amplified into a dirty secret in the cult. It took her a few years to stop dyeing her hair after the cult was dissolved.
TRAINING
Her formative years were spent receiving the best education a child could have — again, The Family's words — and the worst kinds of abuse. Robin had to fight her own siblings and often used The Flood against them; in turn, her siblings had to do the same to her. Emotional bonds were discouraged, competitiveness and dissociation were inevitable. That along with the soft skills Robin learned makes her almost a walking contradiction: she can treat anyone with kindness just as easily as she will kill and walk away when they drop dead at her feet.
A PROMISED HAND
Ezra was the promised heir of The Family and the brother she was told would one day be her husband. She was groomed to idolize and serve him while also learning how to be an adequate second-in-command sometime in The Family's future. She still doesn't hate Ezra despite what was going to be done to her as soon as they were deemed ready, which never came to pass. Ezra bears the sigil of The Unexplainable; she still maintains a sense of devotion to it and could find similarities within a connection to the void.
THE REAL WORLD
Being released into it has changed her in many ways; in others, Robin as she is now is like skin that grew over what will always be there. She was resourceful in some ways and had a lot to learn in others, namely with media, technology and emotional intelligence. She learned how to interact with people and talk them into getting her what she wanted, rather than what The Family wanted, and is still figuring out her place. She's an outsider looking in, feeling as though she's stuck touring a world she can't escape. She's been told that anyone and everyone is an acceptable subject for The Flood and still believes that to this day.


ABILITIES
SKILLS
Hand-to-hand combat, self-defense, handling weapons, familiar with various tools and vehicles to get in and out of places. If an experienced spy can do it, chances are she can, too. The exception is technological prowess (hacking, etc.) Other skills acquired during her upbringing: tolerance to pain and poison/disease, concealing physical signs that she's lying, exposure to violence and deadly situations has psychologically numbed her to it all. In addition to English, Robin was taught Arabic, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish to varying levels. She has not put the majority of them into practice.
POWERS
ENHANCED STRENGTH. Enough to fight off multiple people at once.

LIMITED TELEPATHY. Can interact with her siblings from anywhere in the world, provided they don't shut her out. This ability is obsolete in-game.

THE FLOOD. (cw: body horror, mind control) The term attributed to the carvings in Robin's skull, Robin can produce a dark, oil-like fluid from any part of her body (most commonly from her hands and mouth) that she can control either as an extension of her body or separate from herself to infect other parties. The Flood operates through covering people, animals (dead or alive) and/or inanimate objects, removing free will and self-awareness from the living. They can act independently as well, akin to a hivemind with the sole purpose of serving the queen.

Robin can remove The Flood at any time and restore the infected to their former selves. Those who were alive and self-aware before The Flood do not retain memories or physical consequences of being under Robin's influence. People and things overtaken by The Flood can be killed and destroyed, but the infected are especially resilient and will stop at nothing to serve their purpose — which is whatever Robin deems it to be — even if they must sacrifice themselves to do so. Removing The Flood is possible through supernatural means.

Visual reference for The Flood: the molded from Resident Evil 7.

I understand that the nature of The Flood's infection infringes on bodily autonomy. For this reason it will not be used on NPCs or without prior consent from the players.

MONSTER
appearance
(Spoilers for Resident Evil 7 and Little Nightmares 2 in the visual references.) As the monster transformation begins, Robin will be covered in layers of what seems to be visually identical to The Flood, elongating her limbs and neck, then body, coating her skin in layers of oil-like flesh.

As it continues, she will grow new limbs of varying sizes as well as disproportionately large eyes in unnatural places. Her body mass will increase as she progressively loses any traces of a humanoid shape. Visual reference: mutant Jack Baker in Resident Evil 7.

The final form will be a mass of oily, bulbous flesh covered in eyes, much more visceral than The Flood. All other hints of a human shape are completely gone. Visual reference: The Flesh in Little Nightmares 2 (between 08:00 and 08:40), except she would be nowhere near as massive, nor would she be continuously growing.


POWERS
While in the initial phases of her transformation, Robin cannot control how her body changes or how many limbs or eyes she grows, but she can still make use of The Flood to create tentacles. Trying to generate The Flood to infect others will become increasingly impossible as she continues to deform. She loses all Flood related abilities once she has finished her transformation; instead she can only use her countless eyes to see anything coming from any direction, provided the individual isn't cloaked.


behavior
Robin's transformation is narrative poetic justice. It's as though she's infecting herself with the The Flood and unless she does what is necessary, will succumb to it completely. The eyes are a symbol of the self-awareness she removes from those she infects; the more she has, the more aware she becomes, until witnessing the horror of her transformation is inescapable to herself as much as it is to others. The gentle woman who pays close attention to her own looks becomes an abomination and desperately retaliates.

As the wielder of The Flood, Robin gradually develops a need to infect others with her new self. Once she has lost all humanity, she can only think of consuming others, as if she's the ocean looking for someone to drown. Her movement initially is fast; as she grows in size she will become slow but unrelenting. Her final form is highly adaptable and malleable. She can climb anything, expand and squeeze herself to fit almost anywhere if she knows there will be a victim hiding on the other side.
