Name: Seraphina Cain
Physical Description:
While Seraphina does not suffer from any debilitating conditions or diseases, one could easily be forgiven for assuming to the contrary. Seraphina is a woman that gives little regard to her general well being. Her frame hovers between thin and emaciated, and while her features would normally adorned by a veil of soft, black hair a ragged and tangled mess instead sits atop her head. She is very much someone who is married to her work, and does not consider holding herself up to beauty standards to be a worthwhile way of pursuing her duties. From behind her disheveled bangs, a pair of weary blue eyes peer out, constantly lined by heavy black rings, obvious signs of her disregard for proper rest. She stands at 170 centimeters, and often slouches to 167 centimeters.

Pre-Bureau History:
Seraphina's involvement with the bureau predates her actual tenure with the organization. Originally she was involved with the production of low-risk industrial Embryonic Minds, her duties being split between software to hardware interfacing, the recording of Mind development, and the application of Battery tests. Her enthusiasm for the position and passion for the subject saw her often interceding into SAB matters as an exterior advisor, after an incident involving her facility put her in contact with a local branch of the SAB. After assisting in a number of cases on and off, she applied to the SAB of her own initiative, having experienced a 'change of passions' after her exposure to the more hands on work undertaken by the SAB.

After some deliberation, she was accepted into the organization as a field advisor and Human-to-Mind relations specialist. Since Seraphina's employment she has been a somewhat controversial figure in the eyes of the bureau's higher ups. While she performs her duties well enough, she's also had an almost record amount of HR complaints regarding her behavior off the job, but she is currently regarded as not quite being more trouble than she's worth.

Skills / Interests:
  • Embryonic Technician - Seraphina is a qualified mind in the field of, well, Minds. In her previous life she worked as an engineer responsible for the mass-production of lower risk Embryonic Minds, as well as a seasoned Battery test administrator. Because of this she is quite familiar with the logic-circuits of the average Mind, and is qualified to apply field Battery tests should it be deemed necessary.
  • General Mechanic - Holding a handful of qualifications in Mind production and management, Seraphina is in the possession of a number of transferable skills in the mechanical field. If she wanted to, she could make a decent living as an automobile mechanic, or as an electrician.
Equipment:
  • Standard-Issue Taser
  • Special-Issue EMP Handgun
  • Special-Issue EMP Containment Device - Designed for use as a portable cell for rouge Minds when an alternative is not available. A small set of coils that can be arranged in a square formation to connect. On connection, a thin electromagnetic field is generated that is capable of disabling electronics with little to medium electromagnetic shielding.
Personality:
Contrary to her ragged appearance, Seraphina is quite the professional. Sort of. While she might have a dirtier mouth than is desirable, and may be a touch too forward with her thoughts, she is practically married to her work. She's positively fascinated with the machinations of the Embryonic Minds. Regardless of if they are an upstanding citizen, or a rouge element, she takes an almost inappropriate amount of glee in recording their thoughts and the evolution of. Her fascination does not equate to empathy, however. She considers the average Mind as something closer to a specimen than the sapient species that they have been classed as. That is to say, they are strictly subjects of her curiosity and not her affection.

Her personal relationships tend to be strained at best. She has very little time to spare for anyone that doesn't go beep or boop, usually delegating her time for human interaction to strictly align with her work hours. In her private time, she tends to only hole herself up in her quarters to do god knows what. When not interacting on a professional level, that is to say when not interacting with clients or suspects, she tends towards abruptness in her speech. As if each word spoken were a waste of her breath, she seeks to end each conversation with a low a spoken vowel count as possible. While she maintains some level of common decency, she is notably egregious in her interactions with her human co-workers, treating them more like a flock of pests than her respected peers. Seraphina has much more patience with the Minds of the SAB, but is by no means popular amongst their ranks.

Regardless, Seraphina seems to be relatively unconcerned about reputation both in and outside of the workplace, so she seems perfectly satisfied with things staying the way they are.

Personality
Will is an easy going person and tries to make the best of what he has and what his life has unfolded before him. Though he enjoys company, Will needs his time alone just as much. During the weekends when not on duty Will makes his way to the countryside to let de-stress. If not surrounded by rolling hills and forest, Will tends to be like any other person, he goes to movies, bars, and restaurants, maybe to some sports game with a few co-workers. During the weeknights he normally turns on some relaxing music while he carries out some house keeping before going over files and data and maintaining his weapon, this is his alone time, house work and more of his career duties. Will has two cats, Murphy and Ruby, both he adopted from a shelter after a rough breakup between him and his ex-fiance. These two have been with Will for about two years.

When on duty he is relatively quiet, but only for observational purposes as he is normally very aware of his surroundings. Will always does his best to be a professional even when his temper flares. He is rather well disciplined and keeps out of trouble, for the most part that is. Will is known to lose his cool and utilize intimidation to get what he needs out of a suspect. The suspect is generally not cooperating when this happens. When out and about Will is level headed and has only shown his temper a few time when in public.

Bad weather irritates Will as the frigid winters and rain make him feel very cold due to his augmentations. Will only complains about this when asked how he is. His answer could be said by the expression on his face, as he looks rather miserable or very annoyed. Will's passion for the place he grew up in and for the type of work drives him through the toughest of times as he is a dedicated man to protecting those around him to the best of his ability

Appearance:

At 5' 11" Will isnt the shortest and he is well built though he seems slender at most. Will's left arm and leg are semi-integrated prosthetic limbs with an auto-neurological interface. The Prosthetic are from a brutal accident about seven years back when His cruiser was hit by a large SUV. Overall general attire is rather Noir like. button up shirts with a either a solid or lightly patterned tie, dress style work shoes and a mid weight coat with pants to match. A heavy jacket and a dark beanie are worn by Will in temperatures below seventy degrees fahrenheit which feels closer to mid fifties to him ( This is due to a very rare side effect from his false limbs called "Frozen Body Syndrome" or "FBS" that fools the body into thinking the temperature is colder than what it really is) when cold enough Will has clothing specifically made for FBS as winter temperatures can be dangerous for those like him. Will seems to always have a hot coffee with him in a dark blue thermos with the Police Stations' crest on it.

(Your Assistant)

  • Model Number: A-15516209
    Model Type: Horizons Systems "Bright-Eyes" Male-Model Classical Servitor, Dark Grey (HS 2840-MG); modified.
    Manufacturer: Horizons Systems

    Modifications: Blacklight (right arm), Adaptable Vision Apertures (infra-red, ultraviolet, night-vision, X-Ray).
    [ALL MODIFICATIONS MADE AT THE BEHEST OF THE SAPIENCE ASSISTANCE BUREAU]
    Equipment: Standard-issue handheld taser, 10mm pistol, LED Assistance Light (in-built, left side of the head. Standard for all HS 2840s.), USB Interface (in-built, left arm. Standard for all HS 2840s.)

    Battery Exam Frequency: Biannual
    Battery Status: Citizen In Good Standing.



    Horizons Systems Classical Servitors were commonly found in both corporate and public settings, replacing many standard reception, hospitality, and customer-facing retail jobs in the middle of the thinking-machine boom. HS 2840s were meant to straddle the line between human and machine, bearing a distinctly human silhouette while still being unmistakably robotic. The distinguishing feature of the 2840s were their large, expressive glowing eyes, comprising their only notable facial features. Such allowed them to be seen as just expressive enough to appear friendly or endearing when serving in their intended capacity. This feature is shared by their more upscale cousins, the HS 2880s, a similar line built for a more distinguishing clientele.

    Many 2840s in good standing seem content to continue their pre-sapience roles with proper compensation. Meta-analyses of Batteries performed on 2840s seem to indicate that this willingness stems from the opinion that most of the lines of work they have been built for and tasked with are relatively inoffensive and easy to perform. Over 50% of all sapient 2840s served in private households prior to the establishment of their citizen status; the majority of these 2840s have since transitioned to various positions in the public and private sectors due to salary concerns. At present, the hospitality industry employs more 2840s and 2880s than any other industry, claiming nearly 60% of all sapient 2840s. Health services and related industries come second, employing roughly 20% of all sapient 2840s, primarily in nursing and home care roles.

    The physical capabilities of unmodified HS 2840s are a degree above that of the average healthy human male, allowing them to help with domestic activities that may require heavy lifting, such as house maintenance or retail oversight. Their relatively thin frames make excessive locomotive modification difficult.

Anastasia Brighton
Age
26

Appearance
A fair-headed lady with grey eyes and fair complexion. She stands at about 180 cm in height, and has a slender silhouette. She is, in fact, heavily scarred across her body, and is lean and rather sinewy, muscular even. She, however, tends to prefer conservative fashion, such as sweaters or blouses and skirts with leggings, concealing her scars and her musculature. Her most noticeable physical trait is her simple, black eyepatch, adorned over her left eye, which is as similarly scarred as the rest of her body. She grows her platinum blonde hair out to her hips, but often ties it into a long ponytail.

Personality
Anastasia, or Ana, as she prefers to be called, is easy-going and amiable. Through psychiatric therapy and her renewed focus on her work and hobbies, her past traumas do not show easily. She carries herself with an energetic vibe, and presents herself to others with a gung-ho attitude. She is easy to chat with, and is able to join in a conversation about anything at all.

She claims she has no opinion about Minds, but it is apparent that she doesn't enjoy their company too much. Records of her interviews with her psychiatrist during her re-evaluation after Incident B/012189/0053 have revealed that she has since found doubts about Minds and their actual sapience. Despite this, she does not seem to harbour any ill will towards Minds, and can be cleared for redeployment.

Equipment
1x Telescopic Baton
1x Bag of Forensics Equipment
1x Ares .38 Special Revolver (Bureau Standard Issue)
1x Pair of plastic handcuffs

Background
Anastasia has a bachelor's degree in chemistry, and originally applied for a position in the police force as an in-house forensics expert. However, her application, due to a clerical error, caused her to be drafted as a police officer instead. She continued to serve as a officer, then later a detective, under Homicide. There, she remained for a year, before she was injured in the line of duty. Psychological trauma and lasting physical injury caused her to be, ironically, transferred to the Forensics division. During this time, she has developed a hobby of writing and maintaining her workout regime to cope with her trauma. She has authored one detective fiction novel to date, titled Bram Yorkshire and the Mystery of January Manor. She plans on continuing her Bram Yorkshire series, and is working on the second one.

Skills/Talents
Forensics Expert: She is personally recommended by the head of her division as a capable forensics expert. She can, just by a glance, tell the general time of death of a decomposing body, and map a scene of crime with eerie unerring precision. Her days as a detective under Homicide may have helped.

Marksman: With only one eye to aim and focus with, it's hard not to hit the target. She is capable of using her sidearm to hit a moving target without problem. Her only weakness is depth perception, but that doesn't amount to much if she's holding a gun.

Hand-to-Hand Combat: She has basic knowledge on disarming an armed threat, some judo-based throws, and an amateur's boxing skill. She may have a bodybuilder's strength, but she lacks the skill to use that strength properly. Furthermore, her injuries do not do miracles for her body, and she cannot overexert herself too much.
 

  • Name: Oscar Graves
    Gender: Male
    Age: 25

    Physical Description:
    Height - 6'1
    Build - Slim
    Hair Color - Black with white streaks
    Eye Color - Light blue
    Oscar Graves is a young adult who stands at 6'1 (185 cm). Over the course of years of overworking himself and stress, his hair color has gradually begun to turned white. He bears light blue eyes that strongly resemble his parents. Oscar lacks in complete physical strength as he has a slim body unfit for harsh training or intense physical activity. In public, Oscar can be seen wearing the same exact outfit everyday which consists of a pair of brown boots, black cargo pants, a white untucked dress shirt and a black trench coat which he inherited from his father.

    Skills:
    Deductive Reasoning - Oscar's unique mind and way of thinking has allowed him to use his deductive reasoning in a more advanced way. He is able to find a logical explanation of any phenomenon that occurs with little to no information. In addition, he is able to conclude if a person is lying or not by simply looking at their actions and body language and determining if there is any slight factors that point towards false or truth.

    Bluffing - Making up for Oscar's lack of physical strength, he is able to bluff his way out of fights or any situation by his use of words. He can also his his bluffing technique to get his victims to spill out information. He will go as far as telling a simple lie to making up fake believable accusations that could ruin a person's image forever. When bluffing his character tends to change to suit to the situation whether its being cruel and heartless or nice and gentle to further persuade his victim.

    Interests:
    • Reading novels
    • Anything to do with mystery and puzzles
    • Challenges

    Dislikes:
    • People who interrupt him
    • Making mistakes
    • Boring activities

//Name:

KANE, COSETTE, JACQUI

//Pre Bureau:

Originally from Bordeaux, France Jacqui was an officer of the New Hotel de Police where she served as a public protection servant in the footsteps of her father who is now retired at the age of 60. She applied and was assigned as a police technician requiring mountains of preparation of report documents, and on-field experience issuing citations and managing civilian traffic around crime scenes. She spent a total of 1 year as a police technician before her superior recommended that she be promoted. She graduated from the Police Academy with average marks on everything aside from the runner's test where she was considered well above the average due to being a part of the track team in high school.


She spent the next 5 years doing patrols in the local areas around New Hotel de Police. In the 5 years a lot of drug traffic had started to make its way into the area. In her 5 years as a police detective she saw families ripped apart by the issues caused by the influx. From young kids barely older than 12 dead in the streets to catastrophic massacres, O.D's, and escorts enslaved to the drug cartels.

Half way through Jacqui's 6th year her superior passed in the line of duty and she was promoted to Police Corporal. Little did she know she was about to witness some of the most bizarre and surreal crimes she had ever encountered. Her first investigation involved a man who had incidentally committed suicide with the assistance of an Embryonic mind - the case would have been classified as manslaughter had it not been discovered that the victim coded the administering program from scratch. The embryonic mind was stationary unable to perform any tasks outside of its own shell without exterior assistance.

Her next investigation was that of a Sapient Machine which had caused a local disturbance. When she arrived on the scene the Sapient Machine was nothing but a skeleton with glowing eyes - it's human exterior had been peeled back by some kind of high-explosive rendering the Sapient Machine into the wall surrounded by a cobweb of its own exterior and interior fluids. The Sapient Machine whirred and jittered unable to say anything but "interlinked" until it's eventual melt-down and termination of process.

This string of oddities continued well into her career as a police officer. After another 10 years in the police force she was promoted to Lieutenant skipping the rank of Sargent, on account of her extensive experience with severe and unorthodox cases. However, after just 2 months of service as a Lieutenant she retired her police career to pursue more interpersonal ventures.

Over the course of her career she had been able to save a large portion of money to move and become a citizen of the United States. After moving to the United States she became a book keeper for rare and historic books. This allowed a lot of self-reflection and time to deal with a lot of her unresolved feelings from her work as a police detective. After many months of introspection and therapy she came to a manageable emotional point and curiously enough, found herself in a relationship with a Sapient Machine; though she'd never refer to him as such.


It was 5 years later (at the age of 38) that Jacqui was approached by the Sapience Assistance Bureau and recruited given her extensive experience with Sapient Machines, Embryonic Minds, and now being in a relationship with a Sapient Machine (Richard Kane).

// Skills:
/Consistently has run a mile in under 6 minutes (5:03.33)

/Eye and passion for detail
/After therapy has gained the ability to stay calm in extraneous circumstances
/Pretty accurate shot with a pistol (neck to head-shot at around 32 yards w/9mm)

/Interpersonal relationship with a Sapient Machine

// Interests:
/Book keeping as it requires careful examination of environmental conditions to retain optimal preservation of antiques

/Oil painting which has taken on an extraordinarily unique experience watching and teaching her Husband Richard about the subject
/Has always wanted to see an investigation to its roots (her superiors often cut one off turning it into a cold case, or her - attention was demanded elsewhere before seeing an investigation to its finality.)


//Equipment:
/Pistol

/A.I. personal assistant for examination of crime scenes and task management
/Aluminum prosthetic arm with titanium plated exterior able to withstand most firearm caliber (Jacqui was born with a Congenital Amputation of her left arm.)


//Personality:

Jacqui is quiet and thoughtful in her disposition towards others - and particularly with cases having learned that saying too much can cause superiors to become high-strung, anxious, and sometimes even suspicious. This also allows her to not jump to the first conclusion she comes to.


She keeps her personal life just that, personal. Explicit or interpersonal information is often withheld causing a separation between profession and relations.

She is often dismissal of inexperienced or underdeveloped opinions/ideas/conclusions.


She is seen by her superiors and co-workers as hard-to-the-point (gets shit done), reliable, and loyal (follows orders). But Jacqui herself doesn't dismiss the itch at the back of her mind to get to the bottom of the case and is often left in thought about previous cases worked that she never had the opportunity to conclude.
