Artificial Protector [Harry Potter OC/AU]

[Lucernello]

Oh, I didn't expect that. I thought he had Lynne acting as his assassin identifiable on purpose. Uncovered face and arms is to brazenly declare: It's fucking on bitches, I'm ready for round two.

While that could definitely be the case, he wasn't ready just yet to go after everyone. He was saved by the fact that they thought she was working under the Lestrange family in some weird way.

It was more along the lines reasoning to protect her organs from excessive force. Stuff like enchanted knives and pebbles used as bullets, and not specifically to prepare her for bullets precisely, but to physically harden her without magic being apparent. But I could also take the explanation that he doesn't know how to do that, or that the tech doesn't exist at this point in time to reinforce her internal organs.

Although its fiction I like to think it could be possibly done in a way the world is built in the first place. You have to remember that magic doesn't work well with most of the more recent muggle technology. Supposedly it doesn't work because the strong, unpredictable forces of magic interfere with the predictable, logical systems of electronics, causing them to malfunction or stop working entirely similar to an electromagnetic pulse. While some mechanical, non-electrical Muggle technologies can function, most modern technology is rendered useless in highly magical environments like Hogwarts, a place which she needs to be in order to function correctly. So working with both is a challenging endeavour, hardening organs and have them functioning still to an extent would need electronics or something similar. Something as advanced as that in late 1980s or 1990s wouldn't be small enough either to accommodate inside a body

For a brain to function it would need the lungs and the heart. She doesn't eat or gain nutrients from food or drinks so all the others are redundant yes. She can process foods and drinks though, she can taste, I would imagine it could be useful to identify poisons or things like that, but it would serve no other purpose really to have those organs, haha.

Anyway, I love to theorize and you brought an interesting conversation. Thank you. Tomorrow I will be posting the first chapter on year three and you shall know more.

Oh. It just occurred to me, but is Lynne's hybridization, and other attributes.

Dumbledore inclined his head. "Precisely. He also led the charge and successfully eradicated giants off the English isles. A mass genocide of the entire species, they left none alive." He finished solemnly.

Is she part giant? Is that what her magic resistance, strength, and healing is derived from?

I would have thought troll, but that would introduce the problems of being weak to fire and acid and are stupid. (Going by conventional troll lore) even if it gets her a much better magic resistance and regeneration than going the giant route. Werewolf introduces way more problems than it solves, as it erodes the mind. Unicorn hunting would get Thorne uber-cursed. Phoenixes are inaccessible. And Dragons are probably way more trouble than they're worth.

Is that spoilers?

For bulletproofing, I was just imagining something like a bulletproof sort of subdermal mesh. No electronics or anything. Skin like armor or reinforced vital organs. Possibly even as a natural part of her body. Minimum mechanical action. Or a living solution if that's too difficult. Passive warding spells on the scale of what hardens horcruxes against damage.

Oh? So she's not directly oxygenating and clearing the byproducts via magic or some more optimized respiratory systems? The brain has no idea what organs it's connected to. Only that it needs blood, nutrients, oxygen, and to extract the byproducts for cleaning. So replacing them shouldn't be a problem as long as there's no arcane reason not to.

She can process foods and drinks though, she can taste, I would imagine it could be useful to identify poisons or things like that, but it would serve no other purpose really to have those organs, haha

So she's has a functioning digestive tract? That would make sense to keep her living organs functioning, even at a far reduced rate, since at most, she is operating on half of the body mass a human is made for. (She is only a torso and head if that), since she's got no arms or legs. So that probably drives down her caloric requirements, and lowers the burden on the spells that are substituting for those functions.
