The first successfully coded D-per.
Appearance and Personality
Codeform is a brown feline woman (some say she's a throwback, genetically, to the original, undifferentiated people of the Exodus). Her eyes change color, and her hair is an unrealistic sheet when she manifests to other D-pers. When manifesting to flesh-and-blood people, she is usual a woman who looks "normal," with hair severely pulled back, but with eyes that change color.[1]
In personality: reserved and a loner. Busy with her own thoughts, which are constant. Most D-pers take her presence for granted as a sort of 'lighthouse' they can see flickering all the time, like the northern lights.
Biography
Development of Arete began in 317 BA, and took much trial and error before Arete's successful launch in 350 BA.
She met Cecil Mayer in 414 BA, (when she is 64 years post-launch) during the Crispin/Acron affair, which began their lifelong (for Mayer) association.
Arete now works with the Pelted engineers on the D-per coding project, with Delilah as her assistant. Arete's the one who's decided to limit the number of D-pers (with the approval of fellow D-pers, and mostly based on their perception of their ability to police one another, and their use of Alliance resources).
