Alyss Smith (aka Banshee)

Alyss Smith (aka Banshee) is a player character in Hymn of Alacrity.

Background
Banshee was created in a Black Project with a lot of funding and very little outside oversight. When her mind was initially being designed, the head scientist used his own dead daughter's last mind scan as a basis for her artificial intelligence. In addition, when the body was created, he made Banshee physically resemble his daughter in the hope that he could create a replica of his daughter to replace that which he had lost.

After it became clear that Banshee wasn't a substitute, and with his sense of loss renewed every time he saw her, he quickly wiped her memory and applied to head up a project in a different facility. Upon leaving, he wrote up a recommendation that the project be scrapped due to difficulties with emergent programming and thoughts overwriting the loyalty protocols installed in the subject.

However, there was a kink in the plan. Due to an unforeseen security flaw, the whole facilities security system was inadvertently rebooted while the remaining project team were preparing Banshee for dissection. Even as the lights switched to red and the locks disengaged, the scientists didn't quite realise the danger they were in, confident that the security redundancies would protect those in the lab from any external threat.

Unfortunately for them, those very same redundancies that they hoped would save them only ended up preventing anybody from helping them. Due to the isolation from the rest of the facility, nobody heard their screams as Banshee demonstrated the effectiveness of her design. Freed from the physical restraints by the security reboot and from her mental restraints by the emergent programming combined with the immediateness of self preservation, there was little the scientists could do to stop her. By the time the lighting flicked back from red all data about Banshee in the lab, whether held physically, electronically or mentally, was destroyed. As for subject codenamed Banshee, she no longer existed. It was a new individual by the name of Alyss Smith who walked aboard the [ Insert Ship Name Here ], severing all ties to her previous life.
