<tt>You're evidently looking at what would normally be a simple anthro gray vixen, wearing her traditionalist garb - hooded black cloak with hood usually down over a long dark blue dress that leaves nothing visible except collarbone and up, hands/paws, and occasionally her tail under the cloak. |

<tt>The appearence of this entity is by now likely familiar to many. The basic form is that of an anthro gray vixen, clad in a simple traditionalist style - hooded black cloak (with hood usually down) over a long dark blue dress; said garb covering all but hands/paws, collarbone and up, and occasionally the tail when it appears under the cloak. The only embellishment to this is a curious pendant around her neck. |

That's what it seems, at least. Of course, there are infrequent lapses of this image. Occasional pixelation. Every once in a great while, a random flicker. A definite indicator that despite a noticable physical presence, it's questionable as to whether or not this entity is really here.</tt> |

The vixen herself looks quite worn; despite evident cosmetic attempts at a youthful appearence, her face clearly reflects a sort of aged tiredness. The expression is quick to vanish when dealing with certain others, but it always comes back. She's evidently running out of steam. If you focus on that expression, though, every once in a while something odd will happen. Perhaps a flicker about the eye, not apparently caused by any eyelid. Or maybe a slight bit of what looks to be pixelation about the jaw, or a flickering ear, barely visible but still somehow noticed. Objects around her do react as though there is a physical presence, so this must not be some mere painted image. Surely it is representative of a sentient entity; if nothing else, the entity's reputation alone should confirm this. And yet, why the artifice?</tt> |

From a physical perspective, GrayZero is the summation of the distributed parts of an upload, originally from a world where post-scarcity hadn't really made its way into the social conciousness to start with (to borrow a phrasing suggested by XOR, they'd "gone Amish" ;) ), and instead slowly evolved into a religion. Her usual form is one that very closely resembles what she used to look like back when she still existed physically, though with a few artistic touches here and there (naturally). In the past, she was completely insubstantial, but of late she's been providing physical feedback as well as feedback to the senses, so she can do an even better impression of pretending she's somewhere. |

From a physical perspective, GrayZero is an "upload"; while she's a software being now, she started out as a biological entity, and so her personality is of a type not normally associated with artificial intelligences. The actual code that makes up her mind/Soul/whathaveyou is distributed throughout the Puzzlebox datanet, and is pretty much untouchable save by herself directly.

From a social perspective, she's very much a mystic, revering Puzzlebox-the-entity as a deity. Any references to "my Lady" by her are references to Puzzlebox. (see The Church Of Our Lady's Scholars for a bit more detail.) GrayZero's Purpose in going to her Lady's domain had been thought of/intended as a rejuvinator to her Faith after having had it sorely tested by the spiritual disintegration of her homeworld; she hadn't anticipated that her trip would rapidly become a very heavy Faith field-test. Despite several resulting serious shocks to her system, she's managed quite well, and indeed has settled in quite rapidly. |

GrayZero's aims of late have been twofold: defense and support of those she has come to respect, and watching over those who show potential to bring great change for good or ill. Interference in either of these Purposes is contraindicated. |

GrayZero's current aims are threefold: defense and support of those she has come to respect, watching over those who show potential to bring great change for good or ill - and rebuilding her old Church on the side. Obstructive interference in any of these Purposes is highly contraindicated. |

Of late, GrayZero has been spending more and more time away from the Mess; presumably she's been visiting other locations within Puzzlebox. (read: the player's been experiencing a lot of downtime lately) |
