Futuristic Chicago 2099 (Character Sheets)

[BarkWolfBacon]

This is a cyperbunk noire RP, where you will be a member of one of Chicago's detective units, who end up being forced together in a grand conspiracy. It will be dark, gritty, sometimes humorous, and definitely adult in nature. Genetic experimentation and biotech advances allow for just about any humanoid/anthro character you want to play, within reason.

Global warming and economic trends have forced most of the world to urban areas for survival, unfortunately overpopulation and a lack of food brings about its own challenges. Most rural areas left are owned by the government in order to feed the masses. Technology has advanced tremendously, with genetic mutation, genome alteration, and biotech interfaces common amongst the population. It is almost necessary for modern work and life to have some sort of biotech implant.

You character works for the Chicago Detectives Unit, one of the few remaining human run law enforcement programs in the city. Turns out while AI is great for weighing split second rational choices, they lack the gut feeling and raw ability of a human mind. You've been called in for an all hands meeting at the very start of this, and that is NEVER a good sign.

Character Requirements - Character must be 22+
- Can be a in whatever unit you desire (homicide, arson, sex crimes, or whatever futuristic unit you think exists)
- Character must live somewhere in Chicago, but does not have to be FROM Chicago.
- Must have at least one minor biotech implant. This could be some sort of optic tech, a prosthetic, whatever. I'm giving you reasonable creative freedom to come up with something that makes sense.
- If you can, it'd be awesome if we didn't have anime avatars for your character sheets due to the tone, but I understand if you just can't find something you like better.
- Any background and anything is up to you, get creative!

Helpful Lore

Solomon Glass

"There is no black and white, no good and evil, just varying degrees of self-justified bullshit people carry around. Then why do I keep doing what I do, you ask? Because one less asshole is still one less asshole, even if he's a gray asshole. And thats just my self justified bullshit." Detective Glass

Name: Solomon M. Glass
Age: 41
Height: 6'
Weight: 200 lbs.

Solomon didn't wan't to be a detective. He wanted to be a politician. He wanted to get Chicago back on the right track, to make a difference and improve people's lives. His main focus was on stopping the human trafficking that was plaguing the denizens of the slums. They were being kidnapped and sold for biotech research to the highest bidder. It was one of the reasons Glass didn't have any biotech implants at all.

But that didn't work out so well. He was an aspiring city councilman when he found out the hard way what going against the corporate mafia controlled, right-wing establishment would get you. Three attempts were made on his life, one was almost successful. They sabotaged his glidecar, causing it to plummet through 3 lanes of horizontal traffic right into the street below. The crash killed his fiance', and paralyzed Glass from the waist down.

He awoke with a new philosophy, and decided on a new approach. He reluctantly had the biotech implants installed so he could walk again, and his entire left arm is actually a prosthetic, the real one was crushed when his glidecar fell.

He has been working for 5 years as a detective in the Sex Crimes Unit, which also houses the human trafficking investigations. He can be warm one minute and very cold the next. His moral justifications for certain actions are dubious, but his work ethic and results are hard to argue with. Don't get on his bad side, and know that if he owes you a debt, he will always have your back.

Skills - Interrogation (lawful & unlawful]
- Undercover Operations
- Hand to hand combat
- Asset Manipulation

Biotech Implants 1. Tyr Corp. Prosthetic Arm - Non lethal military grade. Provides increased grip strength, power, and has an optic interface that allows Glass to perform some basic forensic scans on scene. Also, his thumb is a lighter, but he rigged that himself. Built in Tazer / Stun gun feature from palm apparatus, and his 4 fingers can shoot one rubber non lethal projectile, but is a bitch to reload so he hates using it.
2. Lilly Medicine United Vertebrae Implant - The device that allows Glass to walk after his accident, connects the nerves in his severed spinal column to the rest of his body. Provides no external benefit, but does slightly increase reaction time, and is equipped with some emergency medical protocols such as painkillers. Back still hurts like hell when it rains though.

Dr Theodore Krane (WIP)

"The scorch marks along the interior occipital bone indicate lethal neural feedback through the subject's wetware implants. Either they were sniffing around a corporate datacluster and got caught - or they left a braindance recording on repeat until they burned out..." Doctor Theodore Krane

Name: Doctor Theodore Krane
Age: 68
Height:5'6
Weight: 135 lbs.

WIP - Backstory and personality to be added

Skills

• MD certified in Biotech Surgery and Forensic Pathology - Dr Krane is trained in general medical treatment, surgery and in determining the cause of death of an individual where possible.
• PHD in Forensic Science - Dr Krane is also trained in the application of scientific analysis to criminal investigations including toxicology, chemistry, biotechnology and molecular biology. He either takes these samples while in the field or receives them from other detectives to then investigate from the crime lab.
• Avid Sculptor - A prolific sculptor in their spare time, Dr Krane is somewhat renowned for producing thought provoking (and anatomically correct) sculptures of the human form and biotechnology. His work has been featured in several national galleries, such a piece (simply titled "Atlas in Chains") which is currently on display in the Galleries Maurice Sternberg - it presents a man in overalls struggling to hold aloft a mechanical looking globe as his hands are pierced by protruding wires which then coil around his wrists.

Weaknesses
Biotech Implants 1. Lilly Medicine

• Artificial (lab grown) Heart, Pancreas and Lungs - To replace organs that are no longer functioning correctly (no enhancement beyond human average - but resistant to disease and age related issues).
• Synthetic Photo-receptors - To treat age related visual degeneration (no enhancement beyond human average).
• Nervcord Implants - These regulate nervous signals to enhance fine motor control. Appear as straight grey lines under the skin which extend from a point along the forearm ending just before each fingernail.
• General Purpose Spinal Mount - Series of plugs and mounting points along the back in tandem with "soft" reinforcement of the spinal column. Can be used to operate Limb Rigs which assist the user by providing an extra pair of "hands".
• Limb Rig - Pictured above is a Limb Rig manufactured by Lilly Medicine capable of carrying out Medical and Forensic analysis - although other variations are available from different corporations. This version typically comes with a briefcase sized carrying case for the rig, often equipped with further instruments, tools and space for sample storage.

2. Google

• Google "NexIS" - Head mounted computer and communication device affixed to the body's skin via negative pressure on a gel based padding. While not as compact as the more designer models of wearable computers, this device is more hard wearing, can operate securely (for temporary storage and transmission of evidence) and is also compatible with Limb Rig systems.

Roxanne "Rosie" Skinner

​

Yo, that hardware looks expensive, dangerous and highly illegal! I'll take two to go! Oh yeah, and you're under arrest. Almost forgot that bit. Agent Skinner

Name: Roxanne "Rosie the Riveter" Skinner
Age: 36
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 170 lbs ("Raw") - 250 lbs. (With full hardware installed)

Rosie was left free to roam in the slums of Newer York, a good kid in a bad part of town. She lived in the gutters and alleys under the thumb of gang bosses and street thugs, pilfering spare tech for spare change and her next crust of bread. She found her first personal hardware/software interface in a dumpster and she pieced it back together with blood, sweat, and scrap. It became her closest companion as she was a whiz with programming, so much so that she was hired by the local hardware black market to rewrite scripts for stolen tech so it could be sold again without being flagged as used goods. She was the next step in their operation after acquiring the tech, which was followed by bringing in clients and fitting them with their new purchases on-site, without the legal paperwork or government registration hassle. After her big break into the underworld, her life significantly improved from a financial standpoint since her services were always in demand. She gained a family in her underground network and a decent lifestyle putting out the repurposed tech.


Then came a raid on their operation, the NYPD burst into the old warehouse and cleared them out, shut them down completely, destroying all the equipment and capturing a majority of the gang. Rosie herself escaped with several others, who were ordered by their superior to relocate to their alternate location, Chicago. So Rosie moved into her new life here in the "Wired City" and the operation started over again. But Chicago's underworld activity was different, much less focused on acquiring tech and more devoted to developing it, pirating major companies' tech and bootlegging it for purposes other than intended. It became almost the drug culture of biotechnical implants, replacing oneself with mechanical components for the feeling of losing one's humanity over extended time. There were a few regulars who seemed to get a euphoric high from the process and they'd come in quite often for an upgrade here and a modification there.

Rosie herself got in on the body-mod junkie craze, and soon she too fell into the addictive culture, to the point of replacing her entire spine with hardware and wetware equivalents, complete with access ports and equipment packages that would make room for future additions. During this procedure, the surgeon made a critical error and in the process of correcting it, he destroyed her entire left arm's nervous system, rendering it paralyzed and practically useless without further operation. Rosie's response? "Just take it off too, Doc, I'll get a new one later." This was the first of Rosie's many procedures, and she got her kicks from trying out the new tech before handing it off to customers, developing her own uses and variations that sold just as well as the original, if not better.

This second happy life was destroyed in much the same way as the first, though this time on a personal level. Rosie was known to hop from one underground lab table to another, always for just a little more mod in some place or other. It was in the middle of a back-alley upgrade that the Chicago police force captured them, the scientist, robotics specialist, surgeon... and Rosie herself. When told she was facing life in prison for manufacture and sale of corporately-produced bootlegs, Rosie grinned and offered her soul to the devil. She bargained for her life of freedom in return for insider information only she could provide, essentially turning herself into an informant and inside man on all the operations in Chicago's dark underbelly she could get her digital hands on. The court agreed and when she posted her own bail, they assigned her to the Chicago Police Department under one Solomon Glass. She uses her talents in the digital world and her penchant for changing her hardware and physical appearance on a whim to infiltrate and expose the hidden crime rings buried under Chicago's filthy streets, a combination of sleeper agent and undercover sleuthing that suits her slippery personality just fine. While she has so far been cooperative and productive towards the PD's goals of reducing crime and corruption on the streets, it is often roundabout apparently for her own amusement. For fun, she has even offered to give her police force associates an "overhaul", though none have thus far taken her up on her suspicious and dubious offer. There is still a glint of her old self underneath the coy smiles and custom-built curves that goes to show you can take the girl out of the street, but you can't take the street out of the girl.


Skills - Data Manipulation: Above-average hacking and coding skill. Can handle common firewalls and protocols, but anything with multiple layers of security is a bit too complex for her in one sitting.
- Street Smart Engineer: Not settling for name-brand tech, Rosie is comfortable modifying and equipping bootlegged tech of the hard and firm varieties, illegal and otherwise.
- Underworld Charisma: Known throughout the streets, Rosie has access to areas of the city otherwise restricted to law enforcement, able to claim valuable crime ring territory for the CPD.

Weaknesses:- Cocky: Rosie refuses to be second place, she takes big risks and dares on a whim and usually against orders, often with catastrophic consequences.
- Addiction: Her drug is tech and her high comes in Gigabyte plugins. Often found running illegal "recreation" programs neurally or modifying her personal tech beyond copyright restrictions.
- Criminal Record: Wearing illegal tech in public is hard to explain, especially when she writes it off to the average citizen with a flash of her badge and a sly wink.
- High Maintenance: Being burdened with so much hardware, Rosie has to give herself a tune-up almost daily to keep herself functioning smoothly. She refuses to acknowledge that some of her tech may not be compatible with others.

Biotech Implants

One of Rosie's Favorite Augs​

Most of Rosie's hardware is technically contraband, though she has been issued legal versions of all of her technology, she still manages to keep a varied selection of otherwise shunned tech. She's a junkie through and through, always on the lookout to try, buy, borrow, and pinch the latest and greatest on the markets. The terms "Raw" refer to tech that is kept as corporately manufactured without modifications, while "Repped" equipment has been repurposed beyond intended functions.

1. Lilly Med Ltd.:
   • Spinal Augment (Repped): Originally intended to aid in the recovery of paraplegic and paralysed patients, Rosie had this column refitted with high-capacity neural wiring when it was implanted throughout her back up into her brain stem. Made to regulate neural responses, this allows her to control reactions like adrenaline and other endorphins, manipulating her natural feedback such as dampening pain receptors or increasing adrenal reaction rates. Requires intense maintenance, including regular system flushing and replenishing expended fluids, which she has to keep filled in order to even stand up straight.
   • Augment Socket; Shoulder and Back (Raw): Rosie's left shoulder has been replaced with a multi-purpose socket to which various attachments can be added. Includes an arm prosthetic that is common in daily use, which she has since outfitted with various additional sockets and connectors that allow her to plug in to various systems at a touch, putting hacking and data slicing at her literal fingertips. Above average lift strength and grip, as could be expected from a mechanical appendage of steel and hydraulics. The socket rig extends to and integrates with the previous spinal column implant, allowing her to equip compatible external modules on her back, from storage packs and police-issue weapon holsters to stimulant injection ports for "medical reasons".
2. Tyr Corp.:
   • GripTopus (Repped): An alien-looking appendage comprised of four congruous bio-mechanical tentacles ending in powerful clamping vices, the GripTopus was actually designed as a rescue device for medical response teams to move inordinately heavy or dangerous objects, such as wrecked vehicles or hazardous waste material safely. The tendrils can stretch up to twenty feet each as well as being equipped with small laser cutters between the clamp's "fingers" for removing chunks of debris from wreckage. Rosie has secretly made minor adaptations here and there, most notably implanting taser contacts into one of the vices and adapting one of the laser grips to point outwards to function as a short "blade" of two feet in length, for "self-defense". This entire ensemble can lift a maximum of 600 lbs together, or 150 lbs each arm, and equips neatly onto her existing Lilly Ltd. Shoulder Socket augment.
3. Google:
   • EyeCU (Raw): Covering the right side of her face from her ear to her hairline and embedded deep behind her eyesocket, this plated implant is a virtual interface that allows instant access to wireless networks. Essentially having the internet implanted in her skull, complete with microprocessor and databanks for internal storage, external jacks for hardware plug-in and download/upload, and nodes connected directly to her auditory cortex for perfect sound quality and control for watching movies in boring meetings undetected. Don't ask her what she downloads straight to her private brain disc, you don't want to know.
4. Sumil Ltd.:
   • NuYu Gene&Skin Therapy (Raw): A high-end treatment for clientele who want to leave their old life behind and begin anew. A last remnant of her old life, Rosie has possession of a black-market model which is impounded in the basement of her new, government workplace, complete with police surveillance, of course. Resembling nothing more than a sci-fi dunking booth from a county fair, it's actually a programmable gene treatment that combines liquid gene technology and a nanobot construction crew to remake a person's biological self into something new. While its use is debatable to its legality in Rosie's possession, her line of work often requires a change of identity to both protect herself from the criminals she is rooting out and to keep the rest of her technology cleaned and calibrated. Each identity bath can take several days of complete submersion, during which her synthetic skin is removed, remodeled, and replaced with new features, and the nanobots clean and sanitize the junctions between her own flesh and her adopted mechanical implants. While she maintains possession of it in name only, the police force keeps it within her access for use in missions when necessary, though she must request a session using it with the police officials, namely Glass, to keep her from abusing it and using it against the CPD unbeknownst to them.

"A brand new day, a brand new Rosie."

Years On Job: 16
Background: Born to an American Jewish family in Boston, he was always fond of acquiring information about anything. He started his studies in Boston, but when he married at age 23, he moved to Chicago with his wife and completed his magister and doctor degree in criminal psychiatry in University of Chicago Medicine. He started to work with the police already, and was a great fortune since he managed to trace many illegal deals and gangs who've arrived or left Chicago. By the time he was 30 he achieved Award of Valor, Merit and Problem Solving ribbons by Chicago police. He enjoyed success with many difficult cases, which couldn't be solved even by the FBI. At the age of 33 he was diagnosed neuropsychological scotoma, which blurred and threatened to blind his left eye. By that time optical implant were much more developed and he could afford himself a Google IVerge Optic implant. To enhance his vision and maintain the excellent detail-spotting his brain has been directly circuited to the system (with a Lilly Medicine Brain Transplant)to use maximum power of his Occipital Lobe and visual cortex. He also has a biotech lung Lilly Medicine to cure his asthma.
Skills: Tracing and detail-spotting. Great at intelligence gathering and preventing action on crime hotspots. Excellent manipulation an persuasive skills.
Weaknesses: Physique - he has always had health problems. He is very closed to new people and don't want to uncover important facts regarding investigations.

 

[Chen Gong]

Edward Fallthorn Formally Arthur Maxson

...My idea of a good day? Ha...HaHhaHhaHAhHehEHehEH! A good day for me is murdering children, stabbing my friends backs, doing/selling/busting drugs and being an all round scumbag who does bad shit because it's beyond funny to me. Now fuck off before I decide to use your skin as a decoration for my home. Fallthorn

Name: Goes by Edward Fallthorn. DNA in his body points to a deceased Arthur Maxson.
Age: Unknown. Although deterioration shows that he has been active at least 25 plus years.
Height: 6'7
Weight: 400-ish Pounds. Arthur himself refuses to be weighed and only gave this as a guideline.

Arthur Maxson was a simple civilian, he went to a public school and high school, getting average grades in each. When he became a worker at a children's entertainment establishment, he worked there for 2 years and then died in a accident regarding a suit[See Biotech Implants]

Edward Fallthorn was the name thrown around for a anonymous tip that appeared 2 years after Arthur Maxson's death, giving tip offs to the locations of dumped dead bodies, drug caches, illegal chopshops and the like. It wasn't long after that a group began to investigate Edward Fallthorn and who he was only to find nothing, eventually, the law enforcement decided to track down and recuirt Edward, except they couldn't, as Edward was always one step ahead and began to taunt the police with his tipoffs, creating complex riddles and leaving notes stabbed into the doors of the homes of detectives. Soon the law enforcement gave up trying and tipoffs slowly wittered away, with only one detective ever seeing him in the flesh[or lack there of], that detective being Solomon Glass.

Skills
- Elimination And Murder
- Lacks fingerprints
- Psychopathic mind causes great unpredictability
- Mechanical Body is made out of a bullet resistant material, making small arms ineffective against him
- Skilled with knives. both the stabby kind and the cutty kind.

Being A Rat
- Yet again, lacks dem fingerprints
- Photographic mind plus data backup allows a massive amount of info to be taken in and remembered almost instantly
- Strange Mind. Mashing a robo brain with a human one does wonder for picking out small details and reading between the lines.

Biotech:
1] Tyr Corp. MK.1 Springcrank Entertainment Suit (Referred to as the Spring Suit) - A special robotic suit designed to be worn after a springcrank mechanism was used to push the robotic skeleton to the walls of the body, allowing a human to step inside. Sadly, the Spring Suit's springcrank mechanism was faulty and quick movements or wetness would loosen, and eventually, undo the springcrank, smashing the robotic skeleton back into place. The suits were only ever used once by a group of employees at a children's entertainment establishment, all of whom died when their springcranks unwound after getting water spilled on the mechanism/moving too fast etc etc. The suit wasn't that strong but after Edward was pieced back together by Tyr Corp's shady biotech researchers, his innards became part of the system itself, the suit became much stronger, allowing him to bust through walls and move faster.

2] Tyr Corp. Cancelled Springcrank Interfacing Neutral Link - A special wire connecting to the rotting head inside the suit head that allows much faster reaction time. Nothing really else about it. It's a prototype Edward stole.

Edward's Theme


Edward's Voice

[All words said by Edward that are bold are the deep voice, the light voice is non bolded text]

 

[Epiphany]

Kestrel Ambrose

"In the end, it always comes back to justice. You can't bring people back to life, can't right a wrong, undo a harm. All you can do is find the one responsible. All you can do is be the consequence for evil. It's about justice. And then making peace with what you had to do to get it." Detective Ambrose

Name: Kestrel Ambrose
Age: 33
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 250 lbs.

From infancy, Kestrel was a patriot. She was a soldier from a family of soldiers and, when she was old enough to enlist, she served with honor and distinction. Kestrel went the infantry route, did a tour in China and came back to earn her Scout Sniper credentials by the age of 21. By the time she was 23, Kestrel was a Corporal with a number of commendations who had the awful luck of getting caught up in a biological warfare attack near Anquxiang that destroyed her somatic nervous system, leaving her utterly crippled.

She was helpless, angry and bitter and resentful of her dependency on her wife Allegra, a junior VP for Lilly Medicine United. After a year of despondency, Kestrel's wife matched the fallen soldier to an experimental program at work, as Kestrel was one of only a handful of people in the world in a position to benefit from prototype nanotechnological augmentation that might repair her nervous system. She was the first experimental subject for the TARSNS Implant, and the only one ultimately successful.

Repaired, Kestrel considered reenlisting but Allegra had transferred them both to the Chicago office by then and, feeling indebted, Kestrel instead signed up for the Police Academy. By the age of 25, she was the newest officer on the force. By 28, Kestrel worked exclusively in the highly dangerous Biotech Crimes unit and she made Detective at the age of 30.

Now three years into her career, Kestrel is seasoned, experienced and deadly serious about the job. A lifetime of service to the military and the police have left her a true believer still, albeit one smart enough to know no one else works that way. Years working Biotech Crimes have also convinced her that technology is both salvation and damnation for the human race, and people like her were the only hope people had that the rich, the corporate and the criminally abusive could be brought to justice.

Skills - Solid Detective: Background in investigation, forensics, interrogation and basic undercover work.
- Expert Combatant: Military hand-to-hand training and outstanding (if very rarely used) sniper experience.
- Corporate Presence: Between years of dealing with white shirts and being married to a corporate career woman, Kestrel knows how to talk, mingle and pass for one of the privileged.

Biotech Implants The TARSNS Implant (Technotise Alpha Replacement for the Somatic Nervous System): This experimental nanotechnology features iron carbon composite alloy rods with micro conductors several molecules thin branching into node clusters every millimeter of her body. It began with a set of embedded chip circuits grafted to the alpha motor neurons of her brainstem. Within a month of activation, it'd established a parallel nervous system, effectively bypassing the damage Kestrel had sustained to her original nervous system. The micro conductors near the skin end in sensors grouped in the same way as her real nerves, replicating their function and emulating all sensation she'd normally feel. This unique augmentation has a number of effects:

Nervous System Enhancement: Kestrel can dial up or down the sensitivity of her nerves reflexively, thanks to the TARSNS adaptive circuit in her brainstem. This allows her to largely ignore pain when necessary. It can also increase her sensitivity to touch, though she's largely found little success applying that feature to her professional life.
Musculoskeletal Augmentation: Over the years, the implant has largely replaced most of her bones and some of her muscles with iron carbon composite, making her incredibly durable (if somewhat heavier). Additionally, the implant's complete control over her somatic nervous system means its able to maximize muscle contraction time and force, giving her explosive lift and push abilities as well as inhuman running speeds. Kestrel's still human brain sadly lacks the speed for truly superhuman reaction time.
Reflexive Mimicry: With the TARSNS circuit running her somatic nervous system, Kestrel's every movement is effectively computer controlled. This means she can generally copy exactly the movements of someone she can see, whether its a dance routine or typing in a rapid sequence of numbers. Kestrel briefly experimented with mimicking a master martial artist once when apprehending a fugitive, only to find such mimicry merely copies movement instead of understanding, leading her to make attacks and blocks that set her up for a beating when her opponent didn't follow the same moves the original fighter had faced.
Progressive Iteration: The TARSNS Implant is a prototype without an off-switch. Originally intended to replace her nervous system, the experimental nanotechnology has continued to operate for almost ten years now, gradually making Kestrel composite metal as much as flesh. So far, it's chief symptoms are a craving for a steady supplement of iron and vitamin pills, as well as incremental but steady weight gain as her mass is replaced. Kestrel has enough metal in her body now to set off any metal detector. Although the rate of replacement has slowed significantly, it's entirely possible her body will reach a tipping point and die in the next ten to twenty years.
EMP Sensitive. The iron carbon composite of the implant is resistant to uncontrolled electrical surges, as is the TARSNS impant itself. However, sufficiently strong voltage (to say nothing of an actual EMP strike) are enough to shut the circuit down. Until the implant is rebooted, Kestrel is effectively paralyzed once more.​

 

[GhastlySquash]

"You know how you have those dreams that you did something bad? Like really bad! Like something so bad that you have to ask yourself was it a dream because it felt so vivid and real. You begin to worry it's really you in that dream. That you were never good. And then you wake up and realize you're just yourself. Nothing's changed. You're still a good person. I have those dreams so much it feels like I'm stuck in two dimensions."

Name: Jill Chapel although records and DNA would match a Mary Dawson
Age: 30
Height: 5'7
Weight: 130 lbs.

The girl known as Mary Dawson was an unfortunate story. A young, bright girl with an even brighter future and one of the kindest people anyone had met. Unfortunately, in a city like Chicago, the nice ones never end up truly lasting forever. The story goes that she was one of the many victims to a brutal serial killer known as "Paper Plane".

A brutal killer that was known to leave behind random papercraft objects at the scene of the crime.

What little remains could be found of her were sent back home and it was assumed it was a closed case when her jewelry was found on an unfortunate group of gangsters who admitted to the crime. It seemed like Mary was just another unfortunate victim of a rape that ended sadly with her body being disposed of in an incinerator.

That's how the case closed to the public at least.

In truth, the scandal behind Mary was much more unfortunate. A victim of abuse in her own home combined with a startling amount of pressure to follow in her parent's corporate foot-steps created a biological monster. A personality soon emerged...one that was extremely volatile and violent. A personality that would later be coined as "Jack".

When the truth was discovered of Mary's crimes, her father only said one thing. "My daughter is dead. It would be better that way." Unfortunately, even he couldn't give the order to terminate Mary's plagued mind. In the end, it was decided that she'd go through experimental therapy, perhaps in a way to kill the murderous savage underneath.

Her death however, was something that her father did account for. Rather than risk the world knowing he'd sired a deadly killer, he instead turned his daughter into a tragic story of lost at the hands of the underbelly for which she had hunted many victims herself. In the end, the therapy was successful.

The person wasn't Mary nor Jack, but rather a hopeful in-between. Neither too meager nor too murderous. Jill was a surprisingly cheerful person with a mildly disturbing dark sense of humor. At the very least, Mary's father didn't have to undergo murdering what he hoped might one day bring back his little darling angel.

Jill displayed the same intellect as her personalities before her, and it was decided she'd be transferred to the police department to keep a closer eye on her development. At the very least, it didn't seem that Jill displayed any homicidal tendencies nor memories of her actions. As far as she'd known, she'd been raised to become a police cadet, and just had a surprising aptitude to think and sometimes...act like the suspects she was chasing.

Skills-
- Observant
- Adept with close quarter combat
- Diplomatic and often charming (Jill prefers to talk things out rather than resort to violence)

Biotech Implants.

Tyr-Corp Prosthetic Legs - From what Jill vaguely remembers, she was in a car accident that cost both her legs and as such, the new additions were suppose to make her much faster than the average runner.

Spinal Shock Dispenser: A device set to send a pulse through all her nerves and cause Jill to enter a shutdown. Although it was explained to also enhance her upper strength when dealing with criminals, the actual purpose is to act like a shock collar if she ever disobeys or reverts back to her "previous self"

Detective Support and Vice Devision​

Name: Corbin McCreedy
Age: 30
Height: 7'5
Weight: 250lbs
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Omnisexual

Background

Corbin's quest for justice didn't start out in C.P.D. No, it started at the age of 15 when he first started delving into the world of Cosmetic Biotechnology. What did he get? A pair of limited edition eye replacements from the Fantasia collection. Why? Because his parents said he was old enough to understand the concept of beauty, and start working on his own 'image'. And in an age where biotechnology allowed humans to be almost anything they wanted, a person's image wasn't just limited to the way they dressed or spoke or moved. At least, not for those who could afford it, anyways.

And Corbin, could afford it.

The McCreedy's, came from a long line of old and new money—(WIP. Middle section of history will be added soon!)


Corbin, has now been in the Detective Suport and Vice Devision for four years. Newer recruits, are sometimes intimidated or put off by his appearance, but those who've known him for a while also know that he's lot friendlier than his appearance suggests. He's been a very outgoing member of the force, with a strong desire to put in his best effort, and an open attitude that welcomes people to ask for help and/or advice whenever the need arises. Although Corbin tends to play things by the book, people also know that he's always willing to bend them as far as necessary.

Skills

[Music]: Corbin, when not occupied with cases from the C.P.D, can most often be found working as a DJ under the name MYTHK. Some of his favourite places to perform are little-known-places in the underground parts of town, but he also owns a popular nightclub [CHIMERA] in the cities entertainment district. Most of his patrons are those who, like himself, have been heavily altered by Sumil Limited and Gene Boutiques.

[Tracking]: Enhanced senses and the ability to follow a lead over almost any terrain give Corbin, an advantage over most detectives trying to do the same without special equipment. After all, those wings on his back arn't just for show.

[Interrogation]: A side effect of his draconic appearance, most individuals are quick to assume that Corbin has a short temper or a violent disposition. He very rarely seeks to encourage this type of view (especially since he works hard to do the opposite in regular scenarios), but it can be a useful tool in dealing with witnesses or suspects that respond best to intimidation. Being heavily altered by biotech, also helps him to relate to individuals like himself, who may respond better to someone can relate to their experiences. Heck, there are those out there who'd find his features more comforting than a regular human's.

[Close Combat]: Corbin's large size, tough scales, and sharp spikes, make him a formidable force when engaged in close ranged combat. However he's not a fan of the traditional maneuvers they've been trained to use, and instead he prefers a more unorthodox approach that better suits his unique physiology. Corbin is extremely fond of using his long tail to sweep the feet out from under his opponents, and will also use his wings the brace himself against nearby surfaces so that he can kick out with his strong legs.

[Acrobatics]: Corbin, has always had a thing for dancing and it shows in the way he's able to move. This is especially true when he's in the air, which may actually be the most comfortable place for him to be.

History

Before Zarus started working at C.P.D. he was Caine Gunderson, S.O. An augmented human, who'd worked for the military for nearly a decade, before an accident on the field left him in a critical state with little chance of recovery.

However. Caine was a valuable operative, loyal, and he didn't have any family, or close friends outside of the military; all in all, a perfect candidate for the Lazarus Project. A collaboration between the military and Tyre Corp. in the hopes of producing the next big advancement in military technology. Their plan was relatively simple: they wanted to take the mind of man, and find a way to put it in the machine. Not his literal brain mind, you—but rather his identity. AI was a wonderful tool, but it lacked something that humans possessed.

They succeeded in the transplant. Although some would always question the nature of that success. Even the resulted creation himself, isn't really sure whether or not he's Caine, or just another AI with a copied version of the man's memories and personality. That uncertainty played a large role in his decision to go by an alias, rather than the maybe-not-sure-might-be-former-old one. Zarus, was at least better than the designation the scientists used anyways.

He would spend the next few months under the observation of his creators (And does he ever, hate that term!), undergoing tests and trail runs, before returning to feild operations. For three years they sent him into various missions across the globe, and he followed through with whatever kind of task they gave. Zarus, like Caine, was ever the loyal soldier. But regardless of him being loyal or not, humans—or robots, that may-or-may-not have once been human—also need breaks from the battlefield.

So, Zarus, was able to gain a temporary leave from most of his active duties for the military, but he remains monitored by his superiors through his handler, Joe Querrell. Data from his frame, is also recorded for ongoing research into the Lazarus Project, which is still attempting to recreate their success with [Pride 01]. As part of his release, Zarus is not to disclose information about the project (a very select few are aware that Zarus is not in fact, an cyborg or wearing a suit), or (without valid reason) to bypass the limiter set in place to restrict his frames capabilities. It is his handlers responsibility to determine if a violation of these rules has occured, as well as to monitor his overall mental wellbeing.

Zarus, has been working in the Gang and Narcotics Division for the last two years, and remains on call for the Special Weapons And Tactics unit at all times. He's gathered a reputation for being erratic: mainly do to his willingness to adopt unorthodox and risky tactics in order to achieve the objective. But, it also doesn't help that his social graces are quite lacking, and most people struggle to read him without the aid of... well, a face. There's actually a bit of a joke between officers, that someone must've forgotten to tighten a few screws on whatever type of augment it is he's sporting.

*Joe, works as an officer in the same department as Zarus. He is usually (not this time though) assigned as his partner, and their cover stories have them placed as cousins. He's a real stickler for the rules, but generally well liked by other officers for friendly and generally helpful. However there are a few individuals on the force that find him a little off-putting.

[Overriding Tech]: Interface cables located in his wrists allow him to form a hardline connection with most technology. He can use the established connection to control the tech (provided he's bypassed any existing firewalls).

[QizPizza]

I work in the Homicide Department in the CDU, perhaps the most brutal one to work in. And so, people ask how am I still willing to inspect the dead bodies on the streets in Chicago...I tell them that it’s because I don’t want to see bodies on the street. Seiji Ashikaga

  Name: Seiji Ashikaga
  
  
  Age: 26
  
  Height: 5’10”
  
  Weight: 162 lbs
  
  Department: Homicide
  
  Born and raised in Los Angeles, Seiji and his family moved to Chicago when he was 17, due to the ever rising ocean levels. Seiji was glad they moved, he could finally leave his criminal record behind in a dying city. He had killed several people trying to survive on the rough streets and spent most of his time up to the move evading the police and covering it up. He didn’t want to go to Chicago, however. A relative of a kid he killed was a leader in the mafia in Chicago, and Seiji did not want to cross the mafia, so he joined the military.
  
  In addition, Seiji came from a family of veterans. His father was an officer, his mother served in the military when she was younger, and his grandfather even managed to rise to become a colonel. It was basically set in stone that Seiji had to serve. And serve he did. When he reached the age of 18, he enlisted for the Army and during his service, he received many commendations for bravery in battle. He even considered join special forces, however, during his fifth year in service, he was captured and tortured by the enemy forces.
  
  The enemy even tried to get to talk by amputating his legs and right arm, but he didn’t so much as give a peep. When the Army found him, he was nearly dead, but advanced medical procedures saved him and he received an honorable discharge. Following that, the military had Tyr Corporations give him replacements for his bravery in service and refusal to give up information.
  
  After his service, he returned to Chicago, only to discover that the city was even worse than a battlefield. People were killed left and right, some by corrupt officials and companies no-less, and some were killed simply for the experiments of the major biotech companies. Horrified, he became a detective to uncover injustice that was worse than war. At least in war, people are given a chance to fight back and at least they know they are in danger, but here, the common citizen doesn’t even know any better.
  
  Off the job, Seiji is very easy going and casual, giving no indication of either of his occupations. On his frequent leaves, he usually tries to get back on the track of a healthy lifestyle that he completely disregards during a case. On the note of during a case, Seiji is much more intense. He will forgo caring for himself and focus all of his energy on working . At this time, he is extremely serious, taking no BS, and looks like he is one comment away from beating you into a pulp (he probably is).
  
• 
  
  Skills:
  
  Combat Training- Having served in the military for five years, Seiji has extensive combat experience. He is proficient with most standard firearms (Handguns, SMG, Assault Rifles) as well as hand-to-hand combat. In addition to military training, Seiji was trained in Iaido, Ninjutsu and Aikido, which is very useful in tracking and nonlethally apprehending targets when needed.
  
  Understanding of Criminal Behavior- Coming as a murder himself, he knows how they think and knows mistakes that even experienced criminals make when in hiding, like he would do and how they would try to cover them up.
  
  Highly Torture Resilient- As said in the bio, Seiji was found nearly dead with multiple forced amputations, yet he refused to give up any information to the enemy forces.
  
  Intimidation- When on a case, Seiji is a completely different person as to his casual self and is serious enough to throw even his own superiors off.
  
  Weaknesses:
  
  Over Dedication- When given a case, at first, Seiji works on it until he literally drops. He spends days at a time awake trying to figuring out, refusing to care for himself until someone intervenes. He has been know to be placed on leave by his superiors after every case to prevent him from doing too much harm to himself. The CDU realised Seiji’s self-negligent tendencies during cases when he suddenly collapsed at the department and was diagnosed with malnutrition and sleep-deprivation. They tried to convince him to take it easy, but when they realised that he wasn’t, they had a EPSAD implemented to mitigate the effects of his negligence.
  
  
  War Mentality- Seiji was trained with the mentality: kill or be killed, and he takes it past his military career. Sometimes when he is apprehending a subject, he might beat the subject to the point of near death. As a result, he was required to take Aikido to reduce this possibility.

  Tyr Corp. Non-Lethal Military Grade Prosthetic Arm (Right)- Enhanced Strength and basic forensic scanners. They are equipped with taser implements in the palm, as well as a hard-line connection to electronics to send preset hacking programs. Not only that, but the fingers can protrude claws for climbing or fighting. Made for long term military deployments, this prosthetic requires maintenance only once a year at authorised experts. Covered in a synthetic skin.
  
  Tyr Corp. Military Grade Prosthetic Legs (2)- Enhanced jump height and running speed. Magnetic soles and deployable hooked toes for climbing. These are made extra durable, given that the ability move is equal to the ability to survive, so they only need biyearly maintenance.
  
  Lilly Medicine Extended-Period Subsistence Alternative Dispenser- This implant is meant to allow people to go several days without the need to eat by steadily releasing stored Nutri-Paste into the stomach. It can provide up to 10 days of nutrition on a full canister, but needs to be replaced once empty or yearly to prevent expiration (Seiji often has the former.)

Dr. Dawn T Dusk, M.D

Age: 26
Gender: Female
Height: 5'5
Weight: 137 lbs
Department: Homicide
Position: Head Coroner
Skills:
-Performing autopsies
-Performing surgery
-Analyzing toxicology, COD, and ETOD
-Basic combat training
-Life saving maneuvers (CPR, AED, etc.)

Bio: Dawn was born to an upper-middle class family; a biotechnical engineer and a nurse. She made it through first and secondary school with ease, her top choice college practically begging her to attend. Medical school was no harder. She was a surgeon, for a time. She was married halfway through University to a sensitive young aspiring pediatrician named Colby Dusk. They were married for a good 2 years before she was left widowed and pregnant. Colby died in a bombing within the massive medical center. She lost the baby at 5 months to a miscarriage, and suddenly every bit of the man she loved had disappeared. She carried on, however, worse for wear but no less the genius, driven women she had always been. She gave up on surgery however, moving down to the position of head coroner. She had another agenda, however; hunting down her husband’s killer, the bomb that killed him having been delivered by a drone, the case long since turned cold.

Biotechnical Enhancements:
-She was also involved in the bombing that took her husband. She worked at the hospital at the time, she on the first floor, he on the third. When the building collapsed, he either burned or fell to his death. The body was too charred to identify the exact cause. Either way, once the fire began, it blazed out of control, leaving the good doctor Dusk missing an arm up to the elbow. The arm was replaced by a prosthetic, laser cut to provide the same movement and precision so her surgical career could continue, fitted with a donor skin graft; you’d never know it was there.
-Her other enhancement are her corneas. Like contact lenses, the artificial eyes were fitted over her pupils and irises, working to improve her vision, as well as give her X-ray and heat vision, along with a magnification feature to assist with her medical work. This advancement was awarded to chief surgeons within their respective units in the hospital to improve their precision without the gear usually required.

Personality:
His name explains it all, Amara is calculated, intimidating, and cold individual. He does what needs to be done, as does it when nobody else does. He has been through extreme trauma and has lost many friends, making him develop a lone wolf personality. He is also very good an predicting his enemies movements, and can very effectively think the way they do. This also makes him extremely dangerous to both his enemies and comrades alike.

Bio:
Born on a small island of the coast of japan, Amara was raised in a very rural home. His parents did not rely on technology at all, only on tradition, and were a very traditional family that followed ancient Japanese culture. The island was also privately owned by the family and known by many few outside of it, as it was forbidden for any person to leave. Amara was raised to be a samurai while growing up, being trained in many martial arts and mastering many of them at a young age. He was taught honor, bravery, and tenacity. He became a worthy successor at the age of 15, as he had already surpassed his father and brothers in combat and academics. But his eldest brother grew jealous of him, and great hatred was built up in his heart. It drove him mad, driving him to murder his fellow brothers and father who were loyal to Amara. In the end he was defeated, but Amara's life as he knew it was gone. And after giving his family an honorable burial, he set out into the unknown world

Traveling to America and joining the military at the age of 16, He was sent out to the growing conflicts in the middle east. As a cadet, his skill had been noticed and Amara was trained as a sniper. He quickly rose through the ranks and was promoted to a commander. He fought in the middle east for 4 years until he had an unfortunate accident. While on a transport into enemy territory, Amara's vehicle was shot by an enemy missile, leaving him as the only survivor. He then lost both his arms and legs, had extreme trauma to the head and spine, and had internal bleeding. He then had a choice. Tyr corp, Google, and Lilly Med Ltd had been working on some advanced prototype models and needed a test subject for experimentation. Amara agreed, and underwent the dangerous and extensive procedure. After a 48 hour operation, Amara was a completely different person. His face had been replaced by machine, and his height increased by over 6 inches. After the operation, his prognostics made lethal and military grade. He went back into battle, Amara became an even more valuable solider with his new obtained enhancements

After his time in the middle east, Amara ended his military service at the age of 21. He then perused a career in the law force, becoming the captain of a special ops swat team. After about 2 years of this and over 200 successful operations, he was promoted as a special ops detective, dealing with enhanced criminals, assassinations, and homicide. His first position was in Detroit, his second in New york, and now his third in Chicago.
