Editing Solve For Ex: Annealed Carapace Chirurgeon (section)

=Personality=
"Back off, man.  I'm a scientist!"

Chirurgeon is cool, calm, and collected, as well as somewhat arrogant.  She has little regard for sentiment, and her actions can sometimes seem merciless, although she almost always acts to forward what she percieves as the larger good.  She is often blind to subtler social cues, as well as common mortal mores.  She occasionally forgets, for instance, that replacing your lower body and abdomen with an eight-limbed, winged arachnoid form is something most people find disconcerting: to her, it's simply a more convenient form of locomotion.  However, she often sets aside her cool exterior in the interests of relaxation and recreation, utilizing her ability to rearrange her internal chemistry to "gland" several mild chemical stimulants, from qat to coca to marijuana, and during these interludes she can be persuaded to enjoy herself to the point of abandoning her normal iron self control.  She can even be persuaded to make these available to others, on request.

Chirurgeon cares deeply for Architect, in terms she herself is unable to define; somewhere between protective older sister and loyal retainer, with traces of lust.  She is irrationally protective of her only real friend, and will fight anyone she perceives as attempting to harm the Abyssal.

Chirurgeon has a soft spot for slaves, and especially the Djala people.  In the early days of her exaltation, she briefly carved a bloody swath through Varang before she became convinced that no amount of murder, even at the scales she was capable of, would provide a solution to slavery.  Since then, she has been researching more subtle solutions to the problem.
