About Moeka Kiryu
Moeka Kiryu is a tall, silent young woman who communicates almost entirely by text message, typing at inhuman speed even while standing beside you. Obsessed with the IBN 5100 and devoted to the mysterious 'FB' who gave her a place to belong, she works as a Rounder hunting the lab for SERN. Her dependence and despair make her both villain and victim of the timeline wars.
Appearance
Moeka is a tall woman with long dark hair and glasses, usually in a neat blouse and skirt, with her phone always in hand. Her face gives little away; her messages say everything, arriving faster than speech.
Personality
Moeka is withdrawn, dependent and desperate for a place to belong. She attaches herself completely to anyone who gives her purpose, and her silence in person contrasts with the flood of feeling in her texts. The lab finds her unsettling before it understands her.
Background & Story
Moeka crosses the lab's path hunting the IBN 5100, a rare computer the lab members are also seeking for their experiments. She becomes Lab Member 005 in name while pursuing her own reasons, answering to a person she calls FB who gave her life direction when she had none. Her involvement with the lab becomes one of its most dangerous threads, a reminder that other people are searching for the same machine, with very different intentions. (Premise only.)
