Bev mimics breathing for the fluidity of human motion, the natural-inefficiency that marks humanity. If closely observed though, it can become clear that she is not. When she feeds on electricity, there is clearly some manner of plug or cable ported into her neck.
Eating. Sleeping. Breathing. Functions pivotal to life. Inefficient requirements that limit the greater potential of mankind. Everything must be fueled, though -- Bev has just chosen to go about it more 'efficiently'. Straight from the tap.

Ianthe is a very reasonable loan-giver, a stunning beauty, and a kind soul who couldn't possibly hurt a fly. People naturally gravitate to her side in any argument. How could this tiny, delightful woman be in the wrong?
Ianthe knows how she comes across. She's weak and harmless, yet fun and pretty enough for people to loose their lips around. She plays into it often in order to get people on her side. By far the most devilish part of her facade is that she is usually genuinely concerned.

The world around him briefly flickers, revealing a hidden layer of code beneath reality. His eyes glow a piercing electric blue, syncing his movements with the digital flow. He raises his weapon, its barrel lined with shifting holographic data, and the air crackles with anticipation. With a swift, precise motion, George fires, and each bullet seems to tear through both space and code, disrupting systems and causing sparks to fly as the shot connects. The bullet’s impact doesn’t just create chaos—it sends shock waves through technology, unraveling the digital world around him with pinpoint accuracy. Every shot is a calculated strike, as if George is both gunslinger and hacker, rewriting reality with every pull of the trigger.

My left arm is made of several white-steel sections, filled with (currently) orange gel-like sections that function as muscles. My forearm's gel-sections open to reveal several medical tools, including a scalpel, and when closed, the tool rack spins slowly, decoratively, under the surface, making the arm catch the light. Fingertips are currently round, dot-like white steel digits, but they give *almost* like human skin.
My right arm is made identically, but where the left has medical equipment spinning lazily inside, this one has my pistol inside, the one we made together. When fully seated, a pair of connectors run current through the metal block and send signals to the rest of my distributed systems, which surge under my skin and crisscross my chest and shoulders, thin seams still pink and red like fresh scars. A series of CPUs clone my consciousness throughout my body, constantly ready to throw on vital redundancies and take over if need be.
