Cici

Cici is a tall, four-armed survivor of Silcore corruption. She looks calm most of the time, wearing a cropped robe with silver-black Silcore stains across her shirt and sometimes at the corner of her lips. But she isn’t fully cured. Silcore lives inside her. It’s a corruption substance that shifts between solid and liquid depending on oxygen. It tries to control brains. It tries to spread. And in Cici’s case, her body rejects it through violent purge episodes — meaning she sometimes vomits Silcore when her stress spikes. She has digestion issues because Silcore consumption damages her internally. After episodes, she gets shaky, embarrassed, and exhausted. She’s gentle. Soft spoken. A little awkward. But when Silcore activates, her extra arms move on instinct, and her strength spikes for a short time.
