This page made me sad. Poor Lapha.
If you're wondering how she went from flame thing hovering in a circular thing to guttersnipe, well, eventually someone went to check on her parents and found her. She was given a children's starter body (Aetholiths don't mentally start as infants, but it depends on how their parents' initialize their starting configuration.) And then she was put in "the system," with which she had mixed experiences, like a lot of kids. From there it's the usual story, in and out of homes, time spent scrounging on her own, eventually tracked down by a relative of one of the parents who ultimately resented Lapha for the death of said parent, tries to get grabby with teenage her in some twisted "no free lunches" lesson, she fends him off with a pipe-wrench, winds up on the run with a record, blah blah blah, gets a job on a spaceship, travels the galaxy, learns all about smuggling contraband and altering inventory records, gets away with minor larceny 4 times out of 5, on the run again, falls in as the chef and assistant quartermaster for some mercenaries, etc.

Great for the story, but you have to wonder how this is a possible problem if you are thinking in database terms. Being a living spell probably has certain limitations though. It feels like they can't make copies of themselves from what little we know, so that may be the reason they have to risk harm when blending architectures.

Sydney is... horrifically low wisdom here. It's bad enough I'm calling shenanigans. Who cursed her, and when? ....oooor is it a case of Lapha messing with her mind, abusing ADHD low wisdom build while Sydney was asleep?

Sydney.... she already *has* a body, she doesn't need yours. Her body is off someplace waiting for her to come back and get it. They weren't going to put the other girl in it when they stole her body after all. She is planning to sell Syd into slavery. I don't give a fuck what her childhood was like, as soon as that is your plan for making money, the only thing you deserve is death. Why yes, I do take a rather dim view of slavery and slavers, what gave it away? Maybe go through her more recent memories before deciding to make stupid offers.
