Character Sheets

Alright, here's the little sign-up sheet each one of you have to fill out before you're allowed into Syndico's metal machines. Why? Legal reasons. And also to see how many of you lunatics are mentally stable enough to not try and crash the system, because that'll make you brain dead. Whatever, see you squirts in the sim.

(Code however you like, but do not change the template.)

Name: What is your character called, and what nicknames do they have (If they have friends that is, because you really can't give yourself a nickname without being heavily pitied.)

Age: We're not having citizens over the age of 25 or under the age of 12 enter the hubs. Partially because those over the age of 40 would die before they would be released, and those under the age of 10 would have their brains fried from being too underdeveloped. That's safety regulations for you!

Personality: A little cliche, but in the presence of other people, how do they act? In the presence of friends? What about alone? Give me your deepest darkest, most heavily guarded secrets. The type of secrets to ugly cry about.

Augments: Augs! Glorious, unchecked, dangerous, potentially lethal augs! What type of augments has your character had undertaken? No augments within this work actually make you stronger, or run faster, or jump higher, because that's illegal. No vigilantes, that's bad for law enforcement.

Something more feasible would be replacement eyes, or color changing hair or something along those lines. Flashy, aesthetics. They're cheap, and most of all, it's the Fashion of the Future!™

Mal-Augs: The stipulations placed onto your character by the government/slave traders/merc company/invading country/etc. This is the interesting part. This can be nerve stapling, or something you or somebody else has created. Have fun with this, just be sure to run this by me or Devious Dilbert in OOC or something so it isn't abuseable or something.

Biography: A quick biography of their life up to now. Short and sweet with 2-3 paragraphs, you can make it more, but no less. This should explain how you got your mal-augs, what country you were born in, the state of that country, what life was like, and so on.

Extra: Throw a quote here or something, a little added flair. And delete the 'Extra' part, it'll make it look more natural.

Name: Rüdiger Geihl, nicknamed "Candy" partially out of irony - if taken out for coffee, for example, he chooses the most bitter, blackest coffee he can possibly find. In response, he was ironically nicknamed Candy. The nickname may be related to the nightmare creature of the Candyman, but this is probably Rüdiger trying to justify the nickname in a more serious way.

Age: 21

Personality: "Silence" is a word that describes Rüdiger quite well. It is something he enjoys, as he sees music and noise as a form of pollution into the purity of silence, plus the fact he tends to remain quite silent both in terms of verbal communication and movement. However, one cannot stay quiet and still forever. When he is not staying quiet, it would be extremely rare to hear him either make a joke or laugh, but hearing him put forth his opinions is much more common. Only problem is, he sees his opinions as facts.

When he is not being still, he hangs onto the one thing he was good at before the mal-augs took his life in a different direction-painting. However, there is a clear difference in his art before and after the mal-augs were employed. Before, his work extended to mediums such as as experimental methods of ink, spraypaint and even pieces done entirely with his fingers. Now, however, it seems he is mentally restricted into using oil paints only.

There are a few facets of Rüdiger's personality that seem self-destructive though - he sees food and sleep as "a waste of time" because they destroy potential to do something. It's time spent awake with both hands occupied to the canvas that he yearns for. But why, if his mal-augs take away not only negative emotions but positive ones too? Simply because he holds onto the hope that he will one day regain the beauty of happiness he used to get a few years ago, though this never comes.

Despite (or perhaps because of) the brain-numbing augs, Rüdiger searches for things to make him emote. He's tried many things, from getting high off spray paint (unsuccessfully, caused a seizure) to toying with bankruptcy, to fixations on suicide. While unlikely to attempt suicide, he seems obsessed with its existence and frequently fantasises his own... or imagines the suicides of people he knows.

Augments: Rüdiger has a very specific augment that seem to become a set of twins when put with the mal-aug. These two are employed to stabilise his mental health. This augment works alongside the Nerve Stapling mal-augment and attempts to remove symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia. By keeping the serotonin and dopamine levels in his brain down (also helped by the Nerve Stapling) this augment heavily reduces the symptoms, but does nothing for physical tics Rüdiger displays. However, it has been understood that these physical tics might be the product of ingrained muscle memory and repetitive behaviours, so attempting to stop them would require physical therapy.

Mal-Augs: Nerve Stapling, as is commonly known, essentially neutralises all positive and negative emotions. While Rüdiger was never about to speak out against any government or rebel in any way, he had this augment applied to essentially 'permanently' close dopamine receptors in his brain. Not only that, but he seems to be able to tolerate higher pain without showing immediate discomfort, which has led to many accidental injuries. Although his mother would timidly suggest the reason he underwent Nerve Stapling was to quell some deep rage that built inside him. Where this rage came from she admits she doesn't know; is it something she did, is it testosterone, is it linked to psychosis? Either way, the Nerve Stapling did its job... but perhaps too well. Now Rüdiger lusts after a single emotion - fury, irritation, pride, fear - while he himself experiences the most minimal there could possibly be. It has also affected his sex drive and, at 21, he will blankly state he's "never done any of that shit." As a clarification, "that shit" would be an umbrella term for possibly any sort of activity, from self-pleasure to intercourse.

Biography: Born to an American mother and German father in Hessen, Rüdiger will inform you less-than-happily that he never remembered his father's face. In fact, he was pulled to England where his mother raised him without any trace of his father. All Rüdiger knows is that he and his mother had some sort of "good reason" why his father shouldn't be part of Rüdiger's life. Though, whatever that "good reason" was, Rüdiger maintains that he would have been much better off being exposed to that reason than being raised by "the most antisocial woman on Earth". Her passive ways and shut-off lifestyle may have been one of the reasons why Rüdiger developed schizophrenia at age 17.

In response to this mental disease, as well as Rüdiger's seemingly constant aggression, his mother ensured he was given both the Nerve Stapling and the symptom-removing augment which substantially calmed him down. Though, again, he seems to be completely against his mother's way of looking at things, once again expressing he'd rather be "angry and psychotic" than "flat. Grey." The resentment he harbours towards her is obvious, even if the emotions are flatlined quite substantially.

In an attempt to perhaps keep in contact with his father's side of himself, or perhaps as a safetynet should he ever meet his father again, Rüdiger learned German thoroughly, and attempts to refine his skill and his accent so he'd sound native. He created a system wherein, he speaks English to others yet German to himself, so he forgets neither. However, apart from this, Rüdiger seems to be making no attempt to find his father. Instead, he is making moves to try and remove both his augment and mal-augment, just so he can "feel anything again."

"I crave a nightmare. Like dry ground craves a storm."

  Age:
  19

  Augs:
  None.

  Mal-Augs:
  Will-bonded.
  
  
  Personality:
  Fiora's got an attitude, and she's relentless with it. She's snarky, sarcastic, a bit of a tomboy, and foul-mouthed to the very core. Or- is she really? Her spunky exterior sure speaks for her, but it's the inside that oversees all executive decisions. Her cocky demeanor and persistent tough girl exterior can overshadow her internal personality, but the mask comes off constantly as if a new performer has stepped onto the stage. Deep down, she's quite motherly, emotional, deeply understanding, and protective of those she allows into her circle, and this side of her may even be more apparent than the former.
  "Don't believe what's being said about me."
  
  Sometimes, Fiora's polarities will act in unison, strengthening whatever emotion she experiences. Consequently, her feelings and intuition tend to dictate her actions more than sense. This is taken to the extreme in stressful situations when she is under crushing pressure as Fiora will trust her gut feeling and her own instincts more than her ability to logically assess a situation, which she dislikes about herself and tries to hide when this occurs. In most cases, however, logic and sentiment coincide peacefully for her to make rational decisions. She may be a hypocrite in this aspect of herself due to the fact that she also dislikes emotionally driven individuals and will usually deny that she herself is one. However, despite Fiora's tendencies to go with the flow and rely on instinct, she is cautious, and not just for the sake of herself. She will always do her best not to let anybody she is protecting get hurt on her watch.
  "Really, hear it from me first."
  
  In a neutral setting, she is friendly, open, and extroverted, often seeking interaction. When situations change, she is adaptable and often among the first to react. And this is usually how she interacts with other people.
  However, there is a clear difference between how Fiora treats females and how she treats males. While pertly flirty and a huge pervert towards both sexes, she tends to idolize other girls and treat them with much more 'liveliness', often putting them on pedestals and allowing them more privilege. She's also usually much softer on them and a bit more submissive when she deals with other females. This isn't to say that she's necessarily terribly rude to men and treats them like animals, but the lack of affection is definitely noticeable, and she is selective with what kind of guys she hangs around. This is due to a psychological scar that was inflicted on her from a young age. While she has grown, remnants of her past have clearly not died out. Fiora absolutely despises when men doubt her in any way or put her down. She often feels like she needs to prove her worth to the opposite sex. But a damsel in distress she is most definitely not, she would say. However, despite all of the negativity she holds towards men, she does like to tease and engage in sarcastic banter with her guy friends.
  "Wh-What- You're revealing quite a bit there!"
  
  Fiora does not like showing weakness nor pain, which includes both physical and emotional. She will hide her feelings away and hardly ever admit to when she is hurt, which is often bad for her and frustrating for those close to her.
  "Ugh... What I hate most about this is that I can't deny it..."
  
  Fiora's loyalty and vindictiveness go hand-in-hand. She is extremely faithful to people whom she holds connections with as if they are blood. Wrong her or even worse, an innocent loved one, and she will hold grudges or, depending on the crime, seek revenge. "An eye for an eye," best describes her own personal justice system. She will not rest until she has satisfied herself with even the pettiest of revenge.
  "Okay, are we done exposing me?"
  Not yet!
  
  Truly, as you can see, one of her Fiora's most negative traits is her swelling pride. It is often this that gets in the way of developing friendships and her growth as a person.
  "...Auughh-"
  
  
  Biography:
  Fiora was born and raised in London, England.
  
  Her family was loving. She deeply loved both of her parents and her older sister, though she favored her father for he was kinder, more patient, and understanding. It was often that the two girls would crowd around their father, often pushing their mother aside, but not out of disdain. This, Fiora thought, may have unintentionally gave rise to bitterness within her mother. And as both girls grew, it became more evident which of the parents they held more affection for.
  
  Around the age of seven, news had come that an aunt on her mother's side had died. And for the next three years, her mother retreated into isolation. This ruined the relationship between mother, daughters, and husband. It wasn't long until a divorce had kicked their father out of the household- drove him away. And even later, among the ages of blooming for Fiora, the mother remarried. And this was the single focal point in time where Fiora is certain that her life began sinking into the depths of the unknown. The man of her mother's new love was not a role model to say the least. He got the poor, desperate woman into heavy drinking, and even introducing her to narcotics. Soon after, her older sister, a year ahead- 15, had began telling her little sibling, "secrets." Things that the man would do to her which the miserable girl couldn't tell her mother due to her lingering fear that she would only start a fight.
  
  Fiora, already suspecting that her step-father was a bad omen, believed her sister, and took it upon herself to "protect" her, never leaving her alone and putting herself in between them. Often, this would lead to fights between the three of them. Her sister and her versus their new father figure. One night, the topic of her sister's endured sexual abuse came out of Fiora during an argument. And then it was the two adults versus their children. After that night, the step-father, now seeing Fiora as a threat, he planned to will-bond the both of them and then moved his target of interest to Fiora.
  Her sister ran away coincidentally before she would be taken to receive the mal-aug. And for the next couple years, Fiora was alone and traumatized. The girl thought of running away too, but she was literally bound to her home. With her will stripped, what really could she do?
  
  It wasn't until about a year ago Fiora's mother had a change of conscious after slowly coming to see the true colors of her husband. And it was then that she decided to relieve Fiora of her mal-augs. First, she took her remaining daughter away to live together in an apartment. Now, at her current age, Fiora is finally having her will-bonds undone. And although she will regain her will, the psychological scars of the past will remain.
  Unfortunately, now she is scared of men and her sister is still deeply missed, although a little envied, and a little resented.

  Age:
  17

  Augs:
  None.

  Mal-Augs:
  Thought Suppressors.
  
  
  Personality:
  Dezien can be a bit hard to approach for most people. He has a rather aggressive and impatient personality, even being somewhat violent when angered. He says it how it is, avoiding sugarcoating, and with little regard or consideration for others. In addition, he’s also heavily opinionated, and stubborn too. Paired with that, he’s a huge cynic. And there’s not to mention his strict selectiveness with the people he chooses to associate with.
  "Sure... let's start with the worst. Why not?"
  
  Dezien is very practical with how he conducts himself. He is concise in his speech, tries his best to be hard-working at what he does, and approaches matters in serious ways. Despite his mental handicap, he's a fast learner and he's highly adaptable. Over the years, he's learned to rely less on his intellect, and he's come far with developing his instincts. Luckily, his mind is now quick enough to make judgements in split seconds that don't spark his augments. He can be creative while also cautious and attentive to detail all while going with the flow.
  "What do you do when you can't think? You just fucking do."
  
  One of Dezien’s biggest traits is that he is an extremely curious individual. It was part of the reason why, paired with his outspokenness, that he 'requires' his thought suppressors.
  "I can agree to that."
  In fact, he is so curious and eager to know, question, and learn, that he sometimes lives within his mind. It’s common that what he doesn't speak aloud, he rambles on about within, ideas, theories, solutions, analyses, worries, daydreams, critiques, judgements, etc.
  "...I thought it was a blessing and a curse."
  More of a curse though, huh?
  "No, it's not a curse. What's a curse is these goddamn augs!"
  Obviously.
  Something is always circulating in the back of his mind. Since he's not allowed to use the better parts of his brain, to keep himself from going insane, he circulates phrases over and over in his head. Song lyrics, things he's read, heard... Anything. Often, he can get lost in 'trances' when silence or isolation permits him to. And because of this, he's a little bit of a loner, preferring to just keep to himself. It requires less of his energy to think instead of speak, but alas, he can't think too much or he gets the dreaded buzz. And this frustrates him to no end, unfortunately.
  He looks to the side for a quick second.
  
  Dezien is not shy. He is easily irritable and annoyed, especially by consistent lack of knowledge. In the past, he'd be quick to correct people on their facts- or lack of them, often not paying attention to his hostility. But ever since-
  "Get to the point."
  ...Yes sir.
  Dezien is quite emotional, moody perhaps. He has mood swings and he's easily triggered. Often, it can be just about impossible to suppress what he feels in order to remain the ideal impassive and stoical figure that he tries to be. He's usually bitter by default, but he is indeed also very sympathetic and sensitive to people's moods. Other people's emotions, especially those close to him, affect him just as heavily as they impact the person feeling them. This can lead to some rather intense confrontations; which he really dislikes, or on the lighter side, sweet, sentimental interactions depending on it all. He has a heart for sure. He just refuses to wear it on his sleeve.
  He shrugs with a blank expression. He is obviously annoyed.
  
  
  Biography:
  Dezien grew up in the projects of Southern America. His known family consisted of only his mother and his two sisters, one older by only nine months- Alize- and one younger by two years- Vienna. His father ran off somewhere by the time Dezien turned five. He wasn't bad, so he's told, the guy simply just fell out of love. And so, losing a father figure and growing up among women, Dezien naturally assumed position of man of the house by the time he reached his early teen years. He had to grow up strong, independent, responsible and smart he was told. And he took it to heart.
  
  He used to be extremely shy as a child, believe it or not. And because of his inability to build and hold friendships in school, he had nobody to goof off with- which meant that he had nothing else to do but give his education his undivided attention. Over the years, his timidness didn't die down. The start of middle school was hard. But he got by, reading, writing, and excelling in each of his classes. He wasn't at the very top of his classes, but he did well enough to earn him some praise. And every time he was eulogized for being so wonderfully intelligent, whether by his teachers or his mother, it encouraged him to push even harder, score a little higher, read a little longer, and write a little extra. And by the time he had almost finished middle school, Dezien had made a few friends, equally as eager to please and learn. And soon, he really was top of his classes.
  
  If Dezien wasn't at home or at a friend's, he was at the city library, researching something on the computers or reading something informational that only expanded on his knowledge. He was as educated as an eighth grader could be going to a run-down down public school that couldn't afford books for every student. Too bad his school could do nothing to honor his education. On the bright side, it looked like his bashful side had started dying down.
  
  By the time he was in his freshman year, Dezien wasn't a shy and submissive boy anymore. He found that he was confident with himself because of how intelligent he was. And he continued to keep expanding on his knowledge- no longer for praise or acknowledgement, but for both himself and to bring his family out of their economic status. It was his very first year of high school when he made an important, life-altering decision. He was going to college after all of this- to be the first one in his family to go too!
  
  But freshman year was when his family started to fall apart.
  Certain bodies has taken note of his potential and determination. With Syndico's influence, even areas where Dezien lived weren't completely untouched. While government oppression wasn't as needed in places like these, a few eyes were still watching. And Dezien happened to pop up in Syndico's line of sight. In order to keep things as silent as they are, he had to be dealt with quickly. And that was where he received his mal-aug, thought suppressors. Which Syndico used to keep people dumb.
  And later, his older sister got knocked up and pregnant. And momma didn't like this. The bonds of blood were as the eldest daughter was kicked out of the house left with nothing more than bruises and the clothes on her back. The girl then ran off to live with her boyfriend. And Dezien, being the true softy that he is, didn't know how to react to this for the next few months. All he could really do was support his sister. She couldn't afford an abortion- he knew this. But he trusts her. The baby would be fine and so would she.
  
  A couple years later, his sister's boyfriend left her and she had her son. His father came back around. After a huge reunion, he agreed to help pay for Dezien's mal-aug removal. Momma recently said that she regrets what she did. Momma says that she wants to talk to her daughter again. Little sis says she still loves her big sis. But big sis is scared. Dezien is too. After all, he'll be able to think again.

Name: Diego "Guts" Valentine


(I don't own the artwork all credit goes to its creator.)

Age: 22

Personality: A little cliche, but in the presence of other people, how do they act? In the presence of friends? What about alone? Give me your deepest darkest, most heavily guarded secrets. The type of secrets to ugly cry about.

Augments: Adreno-Booster: Diego was one of the few people allowed to test and implement the use of the adreno-booster augmentation. This particular aug forces the body to mass produce adrenaline and flow through the person's body. This decreased the pain receptors in the brain while also increasing the energy levels of the user to a point that they could go well beyond their normal limits, however it came with an extreme risk of irreversible internal damage if overused.

Mal-Augs: The stipulations placed onto your character by the government/slave traders/merc company/invading country/etc. This is the interesting part. This can be nerve stapling, or something you or somebody else has created. Have fun with this, just be sure to run this by me or Devious Dilbert in OOC or something so it isn't abuseable or something.

Biography: A quick biography of their life up to now. Short and sweet with 2-3 paragraphs, you can make it more, but no less. This should explain how you got your mal-augs, what country you were born in, the state of that country, what life was like, and so on.

Extra: Throw a quote here or something, a little added flair. And delete the 'Extra' part, it'll make it look more natural.

Credit where it's due

Drawn by MahoganyLeaf

Name: Aaron Frey - nicknamed "Red" partially due to his temperament and partially due to the bright red of his hair.

Age: 20

Personality: Aaron is chaotic, rebellious and argumentative. He’ll argue for hours on end if permitted with anybody he disagrees with, and even if he's in agreement he will often play devil's advocate. With this in mind, it is perhaps not a surprise that he vehemently dislikes laws, rules and regulations.

Funnily enough, despite his chaotic nature, Aaron is not a pessimist – although calling him an optimist would also be inaccurate. While he highly dislikes governments and rule-making organisations in general, believing them to exist only to elevate those with power even higher, he does believe that humans have the potential to work together and live happily if unconstrained. As such, he tries to treat his friends and the ones he cares about with respect, and tries (although often unsuccessfully) to avoid arguments with them.

However, Aaron no longer has this mindset.

Now, due to his frequent involvement with protests, Aaron has been implanted with a behavioural modification augment.

The augment reduces Aarons violent traits, and instead makes him timid and placid, completely changing how he acts. Whereas before the augment was installed, he was confident and chaotic, now he is introverted and obedient to the extreme.

Aaron has tried endlessly to reclaim the fire that burned within him before the augment was forcefully implanted – yet nothing seems to work.

Augments: Aaron has an augmented eye – his right eye has the ability to take fairly high-resolution pictures – although he uses a camera if he can help it. Of course, in order to store the pictures his brain is also augmented with a storage drive. His eyes are, however, indistinguishable from each other.

Mal-Augs: Aaron has, due to his rebel tendencies and his history of rebellion and protesting, been implanted with a behavioural modification chip. This forces him into a timid and introverted mindset.

Biography: Aaron was born in Canada – which, unlike its politically fraught Southern neighbour, was very stable - to a boringly average middle-class family. He spent the first ten years of his life with a fairly normal upbringing, before his parents carted him off to a boarding school – a move he maintained (albeit jokingly) was because “they just wanted to get me and my all-too-correct remarks as far away from them as possible.”

After making his way through school with good to average grades, Aaron was released upon the world. He wandered for a while, before taking up photography (much to the dismay of his parents) – at first as a hobby, and then as his talent emerged, as a freelance occupation.

Soon, his work was frequently enough displayed for him to be approached anonymously by rebels in more authoritarian countries – where Syndico was often the real authority behind the government. The rebels offered large amounts of monetary motivation for Aaron to source them with pictures and evidence – and Aaron, being the not-so-shrewd businessman he was, readily accepted.

Gradually Aaron grew more and more invested in the protests, his photographs gracing thousands upon thousands of protest signs and online websites – and as his infamy grew, newsboards and arrest warrants. This, however, didn’t stop Aaron from taking part in as many protests as he could – against Syndico, against governments, against police.

Eventually however, one government decided enough was enough. As one of Aaron’s protests in Saudi Arabia – the government of which did not appreciate freedom of speech - was dispersed, the entire police force rounded all of the protesters up, and installed Behavioural Modification chips, before exiling them and barring them from re-entering the country.

Aaron, with his newfound and unwelcome perspective on life, has been left with an almost crippling fear of people. He spends most of his time inside, reading and listening to music, and trying to regain his old personality – however, everybody capable of removing the implant is working for Syndico – who are not Aaron’s biggest fans, considering the amount of times he had protested against their enabling of authoritarianism.

She is fierce, determined and puts her whole heart into whatever she does, often making other people try to work hard just by watching her.​

Klara spoke out a lot against government she was rebel that would fight against them to the end.

Nickname: "The Admin" Real creative, I know. That's what the serverside VR junkies call me. Fuckin' tech'eads.

Age: 23, pretty young'eh?

Personality: I fookin' hate this part. No really, it's the most bullshit. Nobody even reads this, and I am rambling again. Fuck my life.

Ahem. Sorry, Mal-Augs. Let me try this stupid shit again.

People call me 'eccentric'. I don't think they are using the word like they think they are. It's 'cause of this stupid thing they put into my head. Makes me say everything that's on my mind. Pretty stupid if you ask me. I like ta swear a little, have a little fun, but when it's time to get down to work I really get down to business you know? People used to call me quiet, but now people ask me in varying tones and manners to shut the fuck up because I am quite the thinker. Very much so. I'm good with machines and computers, good with them meaning that people in my family call me over for free tech support and afterwards shove me out the door before I give them a piece of my mind. Such a waste of time.

What else is there to say? I like pizza and vidyas and computers and things that make logical sense, and not that stupid 'science' we see on the tube. Everyone out here is so gullible they'll believe whatever anyone says online to be true. I am to be the 1% that isn't.


Augments: Ah, augs. I have a few. Syndico has it's employees lop off an arm ta install one of their augs. Easier to use the computers and such. Kastelan Tech had a chip put into my skull that can let me use my brain as an operating system. Runs real fast, but the second I get hacked or a virus or something, bang. I'm dead. Scary prototype stuff, so I don't use it for much. Easier to compute and whatnot, easy storage, plus a charger on the go. Can't charge at night though, i'll die. Very fun, experimental shit.

Mal-Augs: Alright, this thing was plopped into my head by a group of terrorists. They call themselves 'revolutionaries', but nobody believes that. It's just their way of justifying their actions. They had to make me talk, so they knocked me out, dropped a fucking aug in that made me talk. Apparently is was easy, but the thing is, I couldn't stop talking. d whatever I thunk up. They released me, and ever since then I haven't been able to get it removed. Too expensive.

Biography: Biography? About me? Alright here I go.

Where do I even start? The part where I get my aug or when I get into syndico or when I was born? Nobody wants to hear my early days where I was swaddled by my 'rents. Alright, here I go. My father works with Syndico. One of the founders. He's the guy who actually figured out the programming and whatnot for the SynOS system. Built it from the ground up, so I was predestined to become part of 'that', y'know? He taught me everything I know about this whole shebang. I know the in's and out's.

Thing is though, that after I gained a little bit of a title for being the son of a founder, I was captured by a terrorist group known as the 'Reclaimers'. They say they want to help nature reclaim the digital hell earth has become. So they hit me with anesthesia and fucking put this stupid shit in my head which is really stupid because it's so hypocritical. I mean using tech to stop tech? I would've expected my fingers to be broken but that was just stupid. I fucking hate them. Anywho, they got nothing of use out of me, whatever they wanted.

So at the time, I was living alone. My own apartment, out in London, Britain, because there is only one London out there that matters to the King. Couldn't pay for nothing. So now I am stuck like this, stupidly enough. Syndico is too stingy to get this out of my head due to the amount of enforcement and security they have to up to 'save humanity' or some shit. Don't see why they just hire a whole crapton of doctors to remove it surgically. Whatever. Whatever whatever whatever. It's the most stupid legal bullshit. I don't care. Fucking assholes. Better not be saying this out loud because Syndico's recording. AH SHI-

Int-Hello. Mr. wong please have a seat

Sub-okay, thanks

int-For your information mr. Wong this interview is being recorded is that acceptable for you

Sub-That’s fine

Int-very good sr. So to start off can you please say your name and age for the recording.

sub-Sure. My name is Joshua Wong and i’m 24 years old.

Int- okay now please tell me of any and all augs you may have.

Sub-well as you can probably see i have an augmented skin graft on the right side of my face along with having an augment left arm.

Int-and when did you get these augs

sub-I got them about 8 years ago i got into a bad car accident i was the only survivor but my arm and side of face were so heavily damaged that they had to add the augs to fix what they could.

int- okay i see. Are there any other augs you have.

Sub-yes there's one more, and it's the reason why i'm here. About 25 years ago singapore instituted a new aug program. The genesis protocol. It was a chip that was attached to the brain stem that would send brain scans to the government on the the user's death. The GP office was then able to manufacture a clone body using this information. The subconcussion is then put into the clone granting practical immortality.

Int-yes i've heard of the genesis protocol quite ground breaking. Now why does that bring you here

Sub-well for the past 8 years i have had awful dreams i can't remember most of them but what i do remember is fire loud noises and death. These always feel so real but i never paid much mind to them but a few weeks ago i got an email. It told me that i was lied to and the government was hiding something from me and the only way to get more answers was to come here so now i'm here.

Int-i see very interesting. Well thank you for your time here mr. wong we'll give you confirmation of your acceptance within the week.

[MahoganyLeaf]

Name: Fara Leis

Nicknames:
-Fairy (Nickname given by her parents and brother)
-Amnesiac

Age: 22

Personality:

Only by her closest family members was Fara known as a depressed and sensitive young girl, also eccentric and socially withdrawn but yet highly gifted with intelligence within the technical and logical department.
Despite the typical stereotypes a geek like her would receive, Fara was in fact not socially incompetent or 'unable to read the atmosphere'. Thanks to her adaptable brain, Fara had taught herself to pick up social cues and analyzing human behavior but from a more objective and rational point of view rather than empathetic.
On the other hand, the frequent exposure of loud public gatherings could easily cause her forms of sensory overload, fatigue and further withdrawal from humans.
She wasn't antisocial. No, that would be too extreme for her matter. In truth, she felt alienated by her peers, lacking the comforting sense of belonging like one would expectantly develop when growing an emotional attachment to people. Her mindset was different but also too complicated for others to really try and make an effort to understand.
So instead of practicing socially mingling as just another average human would easily do, she'd been seen spending more time locked up in her room, in front of the computer or whichever gadget she had her hands on, working on software coding, testing the capability of security systems, experimenting with viruses, exploring the more hidden parts of the internet and the list would certainly go on.
No other than her most trusted family members had even had the slightest knowledge of her inner dark secrets, or as she would describe them as, her 'inner demons'. She had the case of a moderate depression. Unfortunately, since her depression was something genetically inherited from her family, antidepressants and other medicinal properties were in fact not effective enough to regulate her racing thoughts nor stabilize her mood swings.
Appearance wise, Fara is usually seen wearing outfits of the sophisticated style matched with a pair of eye spectacles to help her eyesight.
People who were acquainted with her characterized her as an open-minded individual who was both considerate and kind upon first meeting, yet secretive, stoic and composed, giving them the impression that she only chose to speak out of necessity.
Fara acted emotionally distant in the presence of strangers and acquaintances, but when in front of her family, she would frequently break down like a small lost girl.
At certain times when her mood would become so low, it affected her both attitude and behavior, turning her bitter, sarcastic and overall pessimistic.


Augments: None


Mal-Augs: Mindwipe.
The Mindwipe procedure involves the insertion of a tiny electronic device to the brain, causing nearly if not complete memory erasure and amnesia.



Biography:

Fara lived with her parents and older brother, who eventually moved out to live with his wife.
Living a decently sheltered life all while being doted on by her family, Fara did her best at school, earning herself the title of being one of the top students.
She was a hardworking brainiac who even took learning to a higher level, educating herself through e-learning and lots of practice. She took a particular interest in ethical hacking and soon pursued a career within it. The government had seen her great potentials and hired her as an ethical hacker, her job was to protect and improve their security systems and to prevent any unwanted break-ins. The job offered her a great amount of income, giving her the chance of helping out her family with their economic issues. Although the government was rumored to be corrupted, she still chose to apply for the job all while hoping they wouldn't require her to do anything more than what was written on her job description paper.
She would later come to regret this decision.
She would feel guilty. Incredibly guilty. She had access to various classified documents and even got her head wrapped around the type of information that common citizens wasn't supposed to have any knowledge about. She was being sneaky about it of course. Just imagine the kind of trouble and hardships that could hit her face if any of these ever got exposed. It was after all her responsibility to keep all of it completely concealed from any outsider's view. But oh she was definitely tempted to. Mankind was being fooled and manipulated with, in so many ways and it felt so wrong to be a part of it.
Having ignored it for about a year, temptation and guilt eventually got the best of her. Fara carefully conducted a plan to secretly leak out the information about the government's wrongdoings, but without actually getting caught herself doing so, perfectly aware of the possible risks and complications coming her way.
Her plan was deemed to untimely fail despite being carefully thought out. This resulted in her arrest and got her fired from the job. She had luckily received immunity and was saved from being thrown into jail.
Her penalty, however, was to have her a full set of memories erased from the time she'd worked for the government.
Yet, because of a so-called accident, Fara had lost every single memory of her life instead. Ranging from her early childhood up until now, her early adulthood. Her parents were infuriated, demanding absolute compensation for the damage they had done to their daughter, but they were disregarded in the end.
They refused to give up though. Adamant and unwilling to give in to injustice.


"I used to be Fara Leis, a professional hacker and apparently a whistleblower. Unfortunately, all my memories have been completely wiped out clean. I know as much as the fact that It'd happened. But how it happened? I have no clue, and It's a goddamn pain in the a- ...Ahem. Please, excuse my language."

 

[seasonedcat]

Name:

Silvia Lopez

Nickname:

Sil or Sily

Race:

Mexican

Age:

20

Personality:
Silvia has a laid back personality and really doesn't give a crab most of the time. She will do her best to get out of work in most situations and is often thought of as very lazy. She usually procrastinates about things and will often only do them if she feels like it or if someone forces her to. She finds things troublesome and would rather no put in the effort to do things but does it anyway because she has to. In the army she is known to do things very thoroughly so that she doesn't have to put in the effort to do it again but also known to complain about doing work even though she ends up doing it in the end.

Augments:
None

Mal-Augs:

Ojo de águila: For a normal person your peripheral vision is blurred when you focus on something however for her everything is in focus, this makes everything very overwhelming for her and to much exposre to places with a bunch of things going on at once will make her dizzy or faint. She can focus on everything at once making it almost impossible to trick her. To reduce the stress of this she always carries a blind fold with her in case of emergency.

Bio:
In Mexico it has fallen into complete anarchy, the once flourishing cities have fallen to ruin and war between gangs and others have caused much destruction and grief. The fight for the strongest augments had begone not to long after augments were able to be bought. The straw that broke the camels back was simple, one greedy leader and angry citizens and gangs. The tax that he applied on the citizens increased so that he himself could buy more augments for himself and his army so that his country could rule all the others. The people then rebelled, having none of this. Gangs and other angry citizens started out with simple stealing of augments mostly weak ones gaining more power so that they could steal the stronger ones. The police tried to eliminate the problem but the criminals ruthlessly killed them, slowly gaining more and more power with every passing day. The army was soon dispatched to deal with them however, with most tropes being out in the field those left to guard the strong augments were not prepared for the massive amount of citizens armed to the teeth with guns or augments who quickly ceased control and gained the upper hand with stronger augments. The war for stronger augments between gangs and soldiers who desperately tried to regain control of their country once again caused much casualties of both sides and innocent citizens was great and much death and sorrow was engulfed the land.

Silvia was born into this and her parents were killed in the crossfire when she was only a baby sending her to one of the many orphanages that did their best to protect the children whom no longer had any family. One women helped the 15 kids in her orphanage and moved them from place to place, doing best to avoid the conflict. Silvia and her 14 'siblings' protected each other and considered each other family. But one day as they were moving to their newest safe house they were caught by an angry gang who attacked them. The care taker and 11 of the kids were killed in fire, four of them including Silvia made it out some with injuries but not to serious. The four of them then continued to move from place to place, doing the best they could to survive. When she was ten the four of them were captured by a gang who wanted use them to test some new augments they had bought cheaply from some over seas seller. She was the only one who survived the operations.

The gang used her in their operations for a year until she was saved by the army and then joined up with them to help take back her country and regain peace.

'The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.'​

 

[Juju]

Name: Kitty (birthname unknown at this time)
Nickname: ‘Kitty’

Age: 19 (presumed)

Personality: Kitty’s default programming has her set as a meek, agreeable servant who is forever friendly and helpful. She almost always has a smile on her face and will do absolutely anything for anyone, anytime at all and is unable to disobey an order.

What is also worth mentioning is that due to her Mal-Aug her personality can change on a dime if she is asked to. If you tell her to ‘tough up’ she will begin acting in a way that she believes is ‘tough’. Suggest to her that she should be ‘mean’ and you will have a little brat on your hands. No matter how different her personality is, however, she will always be responsive to commands.

Augments: None

Mal-Augs: Will-binding via Intracranial Alternating Current Stimulation (IACS). Applied to the frontal and temporal lobes, as well as the precuneus. The result is an effect similar to hypnosis in which case the victim is highly responsive to suggestion. An effect also extremely valuable in the realm of human trafficking. There is no need for manipulation when the slave is utterly willing to do anything if commanded, anyway the commander would like them to carry it out. Memory, personality, will, all are as malleable as clay when under the effect of this Mal-Aug. [hey.. Ever watch Ella Enchanted?]

In Kitty’s case, she has been defaulted to a polite servant who talks pleasantly and goes about her work with a smile, unless asked otherwise. She obeys without question and cannot disobey. Ask her to forget something, she will. Ask her to kill herself, she will. If you ask her to be a 'mean girl' she will play along until asked to return to normal. Curiously enough, her behaviour will often reflect what she has seen in the past (even if she doesn’t consciously remember her past). It overwrites her personality, making it seem like she is another person for a while.

After several (not so peaceful) negotiation attempts, the Mexican military was able to separate Kitty and her master but instead of having her own will , as was hoped , she unfortunately now responds to anyone’s requests. The memories inside her head they had hoped to reclaim are also MIA. Theoretically the information regarding the human traffickers is still there but until she regains her own will they are unavailable for conscious retrieval -- even if she is commanded. She cannot retrieve them until she gains her own free will.

Notes:

• cannot be asked to ‘regain her own will’. Her default programming prevents this, not to mention the technology in her brain is still in effect
• she cannot be told to ‘reset’ or ‘turn off’ her technology.
• removing the mal-aug would kill her
• cannot be asked to ‘never listen, stop listening to ___, or disobey something.
• cannot be asked to remember something that was previously commanded to be forgotten

Biography: Since Kitty was commanded by her captors to forget everything if captured, she is unable to help the Mexican Military root out her traffickers or even learn about her own past. However, they have placed her as originating from Eastern Asia, and having some caucasian blood.

SPOOLER: In the main cities of China, life has flourished. With the help of new technology the quality of that life has also increased in a bloom of culture and wealth. Citizens enjoy many luxuries and live extended lives… but the same cannot be said for the manufacturing cities of this global trade powerhouse. In the past, care for the environment was not on the agenda of China’s decision makers and the land bears the scars. Without the sophisticated filtration systems of the “Beautiful Cities”, the atmosphere looks shockingly different. Years of pollution and neglect has warped the landscape; garbage chokes the waters or otherwise collect in enormous landfills, while the air is tainted from the technology fueling the main cities.

Kitty came from one of these lesser cities and despite an increased risk of health problems, it was a livable life. That is, until nature struck back. Over the years the frequency of storms had increased tenfold, but thanks to the improved drainage and shelter systems invented by the capital, casualties were at an all time low. That changed 5 years ago when the worst tsunami in human history hit Eastern Asia. China was hit hard, with severe flooding all along the coast. The preventative technologies were overwhelmed by the magnitude and force of the water, resulting in millions of casualties, billions of Renminbi in damage, and the displacement of entire cities of people. The worst part about the flooding was not the water, but what it carried. With the water came the acres of waste, sewage, and pollution the populace had ignored for so long. Disease spread like wildfire in the already chaotic refugee camps which only served to claim even more lives. The government was not prepared for such an enormous disaster and many camps fell through the cracks. Other countries and international organizations lent their aid in Asia’s time of need, but there were some who used this tragedy to their advantage. In the chaos it was easy for people to go missing.

People like Kitty.

When she was 14 years old, Kitty was abducted by human traffickers. She was transported to America where she was forced to work as a slave, though never for labour purposes. Kitty traveled between states with her masters, never in one area for too long. She eventually landed herself in Mexico, where she was sold to a new master and equipped with the Mal-aug that would shape the rest of her life. For years she continued to be a most obedient servant, never seeking freedom and never disobeying. Her fate seemed to be sealed until the remnants of Mexico’s army found the trafficking gang’s hideout. Many of the slaves were slaughtered in an attempt to cover their trail, but by a stroke of luck Kitty’s death was prevented by one of the military’s snipers (Silvia Lopez). Though her current master was captured for questioning, the rest of the traffickers either escaped or were killed. Unfortunately Kitty’s Mal-Aug had caused her to forget any information that would help the military root out the brains behind the human trafficking operation.

In a hope to regain this, she has been sent to Project: Humanization.

People invading the PERSONAL SPACE BUBBLE

Personality
Throughout Madeleine's life, she's had more downs that up. Being born with blindness made the girl sour from the beginning as she was upset with herself and blamed her parents for her disability, despite knowing it wasn't their fault. They were the only tangible beings she could deem culpable, and thus she did so, which resulted in a negative relationship with her only available family. It worsened as they made her decisions for her, and since she wasn't allowed outside, all of that anger and pain bubbled up and took control of her entire being. When she got her augmented eyes, things changed.

Once she was able to truly see the world and was allowed to leave her home, Madeleine had a newfound love for life and was more optimistic about her future. If she could see and explore what was around her, how could she possibly return to the way she used to be? She became friendlier, happier, and spent as much time as she could outside and socializing with the doctors and even some people her age that she met at the park. When she was alone, she would sing music she could see the lyrics for and would learn them with ease, memorizing them as she read them with her artificial eyes.

Still, it seemed her body was out to get her when her heart gave out one day and she was diagnosed with stage three heart cancer. The cardiac tumor had spread so much, it was both a miracle and a curse she wasn't dead already. She became miserable once more, since she couldn't rely on running as a vent for her emotions anymore, but she wasn't feeling as horrible as she did when she was still blind. Instead she goes on walks, tries to visualize the world in a more realistic fashion, and has lost all contact to the friends she used to have because they disappeared from the face of the earth. Even though she's still particularly new to the making friends process, she isn't against it. She just understands that not all people would be interested in befriending someone like her.

Goals
To overcome her mal-aug and prove to her parents that she's more than just a weak child.

Fears
Never being able to truly live again.

Biography
Madeleine was born unlucky from the very beginning of her existence. Born with blindness and a high risk of being diagnosed with cancer, she was forced to learn things the hard way and spent the majority of her life within hospitals. Her parents, owners of several companies within the United Kingdom, were incredibly wealthy and made the decision to replace their daughter's eyes with augmented, artificial orbs that could perceive every spectrum of light in existence. The surgery was done on the young girl after she had learned to read braille and how to cope with her blindness, so the change was quite sudden and overwhelming for the poor 7-year-old. The recovery days were...interesting, to say the least.

However, the doctors who had been part of the surgery and the scientists that made the eyes she now had to live with taught her how to change the spectrums she could see using the circuitry that had been wired into her directly from her eyes to each finger. Each of her fingers, when tapped to anything other than her hands, are linked to a certain spectrum she can see with - for example, on her right hand she can see with these certain spectrums from her thumb to her pinkie: ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR), gamma, x-ray, and radio (which includes being able to see the vibrations of sound). The eyes she was given are capable of tuning into the spectrums visible to different creatures as well, such as the rainbow mantis shrimp, which have twelve different color receptors. She can see what the colorblind people see on one finger and what the rainbow mantis shrimp sees on another.

Even though she has an enormous range of colors and wavelengths to see, it was a lot to work with for the young girl. In order to train Madeleine, the scientists created targets that were exceptionally visible in certain spectrums but invisible in others, which gave Madeleine the ability to use her focus on said targets and switch between the different spectrums with more ease than when she had first obtained them. Of course, with targets comes something to shoot the targets with, so Madeleine learned how to both shoot arrows with a bow and use her eyesight to her own benefit. While that method of learning was a little unorthodox to the doctors who had treated her, they understood it was something she enjoyed as well as learned how to live better with, so she was able to continue on with her life.

Since she had been gifted with vision, Madeleine very much enjoyed being able to see the beautiful world around her, even though beauty was all she saw - she didn't focus on the negative aspects of the world, since that's what she was forced to experience during her first seven years of life. She began all sorts of different hobbies, but it wasn't until she tried running for exercise that she found joy in the activity and began running everywhere. She ran across the city she lived in, through the forests, the parks, etc., always marveling the environment around her, regardless of the people there. The wildlife, the plants, the water, the sky, the sun, the storms, all of it astounded the young tween and showed her that the world has so much to offer, especially now that she could see it all.

Sadly, her joy in life ended quickly when she was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer in her heart. She had been feeling some of the symptoms as of late, but she hadn't imagined that the cancer would be hitting her at age 16. Forced to live in the hospital once more, Madeleine argued with the doctors about her likelihood of survival, determined to keep anything else out of her body and to let nature take its course. However, her parents had an alternative agenda that involved placing a machine inside her chest cavity and using it to keep her heart at a steady 90 bpm with a blood pressure of 120/80. The entire tumor was removed during her open heart surgery, and the implant helped the heart from falling apart as well as kept her alive for longer than she would have lived without it.

But in all honesty...her life ended the moment they put that device inside her body. Since it was made to regulate her heart and control all aspects of it, she couldn't undergo any physical stress because her body would physically limit her from doing so. If she tried running, she would quickly tire and need time to recover. Even though she was able to continue her archery classes and practice using her spectrums, she couldn't do her other most-enjoyed hobby, and that broke her. Running gave her the chance to clear her mind, deal with the overwhelming parts of her life, and take things one step at a time. Now she goes to therapy because of the stress she's constantly under and the despair she feels when she cannot truly live.

"Even with augmented eyes, a life full of every color imaginable can still be a life unlived."

This is only mildly a joke. She goes in and out of the hospital on a weekly basis in order to check up on her heart and tinker with it since it was a recent change in her life. This next photo is what she wears when she's outside of the hospital and practicing with her favorite hobby:

[B]Personality[/B]
Throughout Madeleine's life, she's had more downs that up. Being born with blindness made the girl sour from the beginning as she was upset with herself and blamed her parents for her disability, despite knowing it wasn't their fault. They were the only tangible beings she could deem culpable, and thus she did so, which resulted in a negative relationship with her only available family. It worsened as they made her decisions for her, and since she wasn't allowed outside, all of that anger and pain bubbled up and took control of her entire being. When she got her augmented eyes, things changed.

Once she was able to truly see the world and was allowed to leave her home, Madeleine had a newfound love for life and was more optimistic about her future. If she could see and explore what was around her, how could she possibly return to the way she used to be? She became friendlier, happier, and spent as much time as she could outside and socializing with the doctors and even some people her age that she met at the park. When she was alone, she would sing music she could see the lyrics for and would learn them with ease, memorizing them as she read them with her artificial eyes.

Still, it seemed her body was out to get her when her heart gave out one day and she was diagnosed with stage three heart cancer. The cardiac tumor had spread so much, it was both a miracle and a curse she wasn't dead already. She became miserable once more, since she couldn't rely on running as a vent for her emotions anymore, but she wasn't feeling as horrible as she did when she was still blind. Instead she goes on walks, tries to visualize the world in a more realistic fashion, and has lost all contact to the friends she used to have because they disappeared from the face of the earth. Even though she's still particularly new to the making friends process, she isn't against it. She just understands that not all people would be interested in befriending someone like her.

[B]Goals[/B]
To overcome her mal-aug and prove to her parents that she's more than just a weak child.

[B]Fears[/B]
Never being able to truly live again.

[B]Biography[/B]
Madeleine was born unlucky from the very beginning of her existence. Born with blindness and a high risk of being diagnosed with cancer, she was forced to learn things the hard way and spent the majority of her life within hospitals. Her parents, owners of several companies within the United Kingdom, were incredibly wealthy and made the decision to replace their daughter's eyes with augmented, artificial orbs that could perceive every spectrum of light in existence. The surgery was done on the young girl after she had learned to read braille and how to cope with her blindness, so the change was quite sudden and overwhelming for the poor 7-year-old. The recovery days were...interesting, to say the least.

However, the doctors who had been part of the surgery and the scientists that made the eyes she now had to live with taught her how to change the spectrums she could see using the circuitry that had been wired into her directly from her eyes to each finger. Each of her fingers, when tapped to anything other than her hands, are linked to a certain spectrum she can see with - for example, on her right hand she can see with these certain spectrums from her thumb to her pinkie: ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR), gamma, x-ray, and radio (which includes being able to see the vibrations of sound). The eyes she was given are capable of tuning into the spectrums visible to different creatures as well, such as the rainbow mantis shrimp, which have twelve different color receptors. She can see what the colorblind people see on one finger and what the rainbow mantis shrimp sees on another.

Even though she has an enormous range of colors and wavelengths to see, it was a lot to work with for the young girl. In order to train Madeleine, the scientists created targets that were exceptionally visible in certain spectrums but invisible in others, which gave Madeleine the ability to use her focus on said targets and switch between the different spectrums with more ease than when she had first obtained them. Of course, with targets comes something to shoot the targets with, so Madeleine learned how to both shoot arrows with a bow and use her eyesight to her own benefit. While that method of learning was a little unorthodox to the doctors who had treated her, they understood it was something she enjoyed as well as learned how to live better with, so she was able to continue on with her life.

Since she had been gifted with vision, Madeleine very much enjoyed being able to see the beautiful world around her, even though beauty was all she saw - she didn't focus on the negative aspects of the world, since that's what she was forced to experience during her first seven years of life. She began all sorts of different hobbies, but it wasn't until she tried running for exercise that she found joy in the activity and began running everywhere. She ran across the city she lived in, through the forests, the parks, etc., always marveling the environment around her, regardless of the people there. The wildlife, the plants, the water, the sky, the sun, the storms, all of it astounded the young tween and showed her that the world has so much to offer, especially now that she could see it all.

Sadly, her joy in life ended quickly when she was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer in her heart. She had been feeling some of the symptoms as of late, but she hadn't imagined that the cancer would be hitting her at age 16. Forced to live in the hospital once more, Madeleine argued with the doctors about her likelihood of survival, determined to keep anything else out of her body and to let nature take its course. However, her parents had an alternative agenda that involved placing a machine inside her chest cavity and using it to keep her heart at a steady 90 bpm with a blood pressure of 120/80. The entire tumor was removed during her open heart surgery, and the implant helped the heart from falling apart as well as kept her alive for longer than she would have lived without it.

But in all honesty...her life ended the moment they put that device inside her body. Since it was made to regulate her heart and control all aspects of it, she couldn't undergo any physical stress because her body would physically limit her from doing so. If she tried running, she would quickly tire and need time to recover. Even though she was able to continue her archery classes and practice using her spectrums, she couldn't do her other most-enjoyed hobby, and that broke her. Running gave her the chance to clear her mind, deal with the overwhelming parts of her life, and take things one step at a time. Now she goes to therapy because of the stress she's constantly under and the despair she feels when she cannot truly live.
