Character used: Para/Lyz from Back And Forth

1. For those who don't know already, Para/Lyz originally belonged to Rabbit-In-A-Bottle, as the original form of the character who went on to become Kaysi Evans the Gengsian. When she posted a deviation of Para as a rejected character, though, I said 'If you won't have her, can I?' She said yes, and here we are. Para is relatively intact from her original description, but I will admit that I took Lyz's evilness/scariness up a notch or two from the original bio. As a result Para/Lyz were the first characters created for Back And Forth, after a few other debated plans of what to with her/them.

2. At over 60 million years old, Lyz is probably my oldest OC - in terms of in-universe age - who isn't an ageless celestial entity (like Styx and Bones, the twin harbingers who are due to appear in Perception at, er... some point).

3. Para's battle strategy revolved at first entirely around 'Keep them at a distance and throw things at them mentally'. It took a defeat to Tracey's dance battle technique to make her realise that she needed a close-range move as well, hence her picking up Iron Tail.

4. By the end of the timeskip between Chapters 4 and 5, Para has already had several detentions for either shouting at or picking fights with people who kept messing her about for looking and acting weird.

5. As well as the normal level of pun in the name, another level that I'm not even sure that Tiger know about is that lysis is Latin for 'to split'.

6. One of the things I'm fairly adamant about is that at no point will Lyz compare itself to a god. It just feels a bit awkward for me to write, although there is also the fact that there's no need for Lyz to hyperbolically claim to be a god when it is terrifying enough for it to claim to be Lyz.

7. As a human, Para was a scientific prodigy and was in England as part of an international physics competition. Originally she's from central Europe. She started transforming noticeably while still in the country and was captured, brainwashed and transferred to the base she was in at the start of the story so they could conduct the Lyz experiment on her. For their own convenience the scientists just taught her fluent English and made it her default so she could do reports they actually understood. After breaking free, she had no memory of this and her academic skill was put down to just being a Psychic. Her human clone went on to become a professor of quantum mechanics in Germany.
I literally just made all that up as I was typing this. And now it's canon.

8. As well as in moments of weakness or particularly frenzied battles, Lyz will sometimes override Para in order to save Para's life. The reason for this is that even Lyz doesn't know what will happen to itself when Para dies - it may get unrestricted control of her body, but it may also dissipate into nothing alongside the dominant life-force. Even eldritch abominations know when to fold their cards sometimes.
