So what exactly is our character?
Three different times in the story our character gets called out for not being what they seem.
The first time is when meeting the Sister of the Unlost on your way to security where she says: “you are of our kith, but not our kin”
The second time is when you talk to Dr. Cahn after beating the behemoth and he says: -if I didn’t know any better I’d say you should be the one being studied
And the third time it happens is when you travel back in time and straight up get called “anomaly” by the jotun you meet
On top of all of that our character is smart. Like “anime Mary-Sue” levels of smart. Being capable of inventing entirely new technologies as well as reverse-engineering complicated technologies and chemical compounds just by taking a gander at materials we’ve just come across like five minutes ago. And as we traverse the facility we leave an ocean of blood dotted with islands comprised of the corpses of some of the most formidable beings within known reality in our wake.
I think our character themself is an IS like the one masquerading as Dr. Cahn
