Doukeshi Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 [b]Data Crashing:[/b] The year was [b]2324[/b] and the world had changed. As one would imagine it is a fairly normal occurrence, with the passing of time heralds the coming of change after all. What one wouldn?t imagine would be the course that this future had taken. Think now on the growth of industry, the growth of business and the domination of greed upon the world. As with all things the world was blind to the slow and ultimately unstoppable force that covered the globe. Blinded by the need for leisure, the aversion to hard work and want for money many saw the aspiring and benevolent Technosoft as a gift to the many nations that welcomed them and their new enterprise. It is unclear now what the initial intentions of the company were, for of this I am sure, no one, not even the founder, could have foreseen the awesome and total domination that would blanket the world. Is it not true that even some of the most evil of warlords started out with the most respectable of intentions? Now, as the sulpher choked clouds rolled across the yellow sky the populations of the world milled around in giant domes made of synthetic glass that covered entire cities, like ants caught under a microscope. The planet was held in an iron grip, a mechanical grip of the maniacal corporation that worked under the new, more appropriate name of Technoglobe. Technoglobe controlled everything?everything. Cities were now called sectors, contained in bubbles, where travel was actively discouraged. Plant life was outlawed, the space taken by trees and animals needed for development and the progression of the human species. Sure people protested then but who remembers ?then? anymore? Life was contained in the little bubble you lived in very little physical contact was made between sectors. The paths were dangerous and derelict, used only by vagabonds and criminals in desperate times. Although what normal human would want to venture out into the treacherous, vapid and fatal wilderness that covered the globe. All was provided for them, the food they ate, the air they breathed, it was perfect. Of course there were going to be rebels, those unhappy with the social order. These people were ?Hackers?, those who could fight from the world of information deep within the technological database of the corp. Though for the most part normal people were happy with their lot. All normal people. Of course with the advancement of technology there had to be certain sacrifices, there always is. Religion was on the decline anyway was it not? Technoglobe just made it law. There are always going to be people who don?t like law of course and you can?t just snuff out people?s hopes and dreams. Not without a fight. And so there was. Many centuries ago a war was fought between Technoglobe and those of the united faith, a holy crusade and probably the only time in history differences were put aside and all faiths fought as one. They were crushed of course, for who could match the might of the corp. and it?s ever growing influence. Shattered and defeated, the remaining members of the faiths withdrew into a minority. In the year of 2324 what remained of these people where a few scattered clans, clinging to the old ways, the old beliefs and the old magic. Treated by the ?Norms? as tramps and thieves the clans were sneered at, called ?Angels? in mockery of the myths told as crude jokes across party tables over a glass of wine or two. On the contrary to this oppression and contempt the Angels took this as their own and gathered in the slums of the sectors in defiance of the powers that sought to wipe them out. As a result of the contamination that dwelt in their surroundings or maybe through divine intervention powers developed within these people, cultivated through many generations. The Angel?s saw themselves as the chosen ones, the prophets needed to bring life back to the world comatose in it?s own secretions. This was their faith and they believed that one-day judgment would come and the sun would again rise in the east as it once did. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Right, now for a run down of the character types; [b]Norms:[/b] Normal everyday people going about their business in their own little world. Butchers, bakers, candlestick makers, although there is no more natural produce more the first two to use. The only Norm characters worth playing are Technoglobe employees, soldiers, leaders and the like. All Norms are inserted with a registration microchip when they are born. This connects them to the Technoglobe mainframe and is able to track them and catalogue them into the great computer. These chips are also something that define Angel?s from Norms, keep Angel?s exempt from the mainframe. [b]Angels:[/b] Believing in the old religious ways Angels are shunned in society and live in the slums of the sectors. Divided into small clans they try to keep themselves to themselves, occasionally venturing out into the cities. Usually indistinguishable from Norms except for their eye colour, which reflects the colour of the magic they are genetically born with. This colour is usually extraordinary, like orange or pink. The magic, incidentally, comes in the form of energy generated within. This energy is channeled through an item that is held particularly dear to the individual, usually an item of clothing or jewelry that has special emotional significance. All angels are capable of the same gifts, though whether they develop them or not is up to the individual, such as the gift of healing, or of transmutation etc. Technoglobe continuously persecutes Angels, but it has only just recently taken on a more deadly twist. Exasperated by the nuisance of the Angels organized ?accidents?, raids and round ups take place, containing the threat and subduing the Angel population. This has caused more and more to go into deep hiding, away from the strike teams of the corp. Because of their deep affiliation with the old ways Angel?s are very religious and meditate every day in prayer to their Gods. (these gods are wide and varied, Anubis, Hecate, Jehova etc.) [b]Hackers:[/b] Hackers are the "glitches" in Technoglobe's "program". Able to run practically unseen in current society, almost every hacker is a convict. And they don't have a problem with that. Because at the push of a button they can become Mr or Mrs X. Fooling the computers is all that matters, and if you can fool the ones watching the computers, then so much the better. Hackers usually practice two types of hacking towards the Technoglobe mainframe. External hacking is usually via an "input device", a keyboard or something similar. Some hackers, however, like to take that one step further and hack "internally". Usually, internal hacking involves a small device called a "disc" which is placed against the hacker's temple and connected directly to the brain through a track in the skull. A wire then runs from the main unit to the disc via a cable. This method of hacking, although highly effective, is also highly dangerous. The human mind isn't built to be a storage machine, and after so much information there isn't room for a soul anymore. However, that having been said, a lot of information can usually be stored (the limit differs according to the individual), giving a hacker intuitive knowledge of a situation the individual has stored material about, if not total comprehension. The subject reaches a state similar to unconsciousness while hacking internally. Hackers usually work alone and prefer to stay away from large crowds, however, there are exceptions to every rule [b]Fallen:[/b] Angel?s under the service of Technoglobe, either as advisors or as part of the numerous strike teams. These Fallen usually take the form of mercenary groups paid by the corp. to eliminate the Angel threat, for a rich reward and government protection from persecution of course. [b](Note: Remember if you're signing up as one of these to post their reason for being against the Angel's in the bio)[/b] [b]Halflings:[/b] Half Angel and half Norm, the powers of these people are not as strong as Angels but they are equally shunned, if not more so, by the general population. The eye colouring is more subtle than Angels, like a browny red or clear crystal blue for example. Most are hidden or given up for adoption by their parents, the Norm parent usually shunned from Norm society with their Angel partner. [b](Note: I don?t want a multitude of these, my character will be a halfling after that?one or two at the very most)[/b] The story center?s around the actions of my character and her group of Angels. Intent on rebelling against the oppressive Technoglobe, they are unaware of just how deep their revolution will take them. Other characters will join them, but are not part of the group initially. The group is made up of four Angel?s at most, a fledgling clan. --------------------------------------------------------- [b]Rules:[/b] [b]1.[/b] Sign-ups will follow the sign up sheet exactly, being extremely detailed. Rpers must have an intricate knowledge of the individual they are using so I would like full sentences when signing up please. I would prefer it if people would post a description of their character instead of an image like some seem to do. If you would like to post an image, add the description also. [b]2.[/b] Characters are to be limited, if their hair is a different than natural colour state it is dyed, if they have a scar state where they got it from in the bio. Names should correspond to their ethnicity or history. I don?t want millions of Japanese anime type characters either [b]3.[/b] Sign-ups will be vetted, making no exceptions to buddies or mods. Upon signing up I will request an example of a previous rp post, if you are a newbie I shall expect a written post regardless. I shall also be investigating into your history as an rper, if you are known for not showing up when an rp starts for instance you won?t be admitted. [b]4.[/b] Posts are to be detailed and coherent with at least 2 paragraphs per post. Script format is prohibited because I find it deeply irritating, use proper speech please.

[b]Sign Up Sheet:[/b] [b]Name:[/b] (Full name) [b]Nickname:[/b] (Speaks for itself) [b]Gender:[/b] (If you need this explaining leave now) [b]Age:[/b] (Age of the character, let?s keep it realistic) [b]Character Type:[/b] (hacker, angel, etc [b]Attributes:[/b] (Skills, Magical abilities only apply to angels and fallen.) [b]Appearance:[/b] (Detailed description of your character) [b]Personality:[/b] (What is your character like, their morals, their motivations etc) [b]Bio:[/b] (Detailed biography of your character, their history, their relations, their hobbies, why do they do what they do etc) [b]My Character:[/b] [b]Name:[/b] Karen O?Shea [b]Nickname:[/b] Boss, Karen or Ka, Halfbreed as an insult [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] 24 [b]Character Type:[/b] Halfling [b]Attributes:[/b] The limited magic within her means that she is not as powerful as some angels but then again she has more power than your average Norm. She is attributed with a greater strength than normal and is able to create a blueish light from her hands. The energy can form into bolts or shots over powerful energy that can act with the force of a sledgehammer, though she is not able to keep this up for sustained lengths of time. Telepathic speech is also possible between other Angels, it can be done with Norms and Hackers but it takes a greater amount concentration. She is able to create shields against other Angel?s power but stronger opponents may be able to break these down. [b]Appearance:[/b] Karen wears her blond hair in a short bob, shoulder length and neat. Her eyes are a crystal blue and this reflects in the colour of her magic, not being a radical colour she can blend relatively easily with Norms without the aid of shades or contacts. She wears a white vest with a black cross dissecting it across the chest, a white, silver and black patterned biker jacket and brown leather pants. Her black leather boots are sturdy with metal toecaps. She wears a thick silver ring on her right hand middle finger with a sapphire embedded into it, the ring her mother gave her. She also has a silver thumb ring on her left hand and a silver necklace with an opal drop. [b]Personality:[/b] Very noble, Karen has a deep sense of duty and feels very protective over her friends and charges alike. She is keenly aware of her flaws and attempts to compensate for these with tactical ability, intelligence and integrity. Extremely level headed and calculating she is an embodiment of leadership qualities and takes her role very seriously. After being betrayed by her father she is very wary of Norms to the point of paranoia and will. Karen is also very claustrophobic. [b]Bio:[/b] Karen led a relatively happy and content life up until she was the age of seven. Her mother died giving birth to her, something her father never forgave her for. This animosity towards his daughter would prove to be a catalyst that would change the little girl?s life forever. Karen was abandoned by her father after a public but wholly accidental showing of her angelic powers. Scared for his life and torn by his duties to the corp. he left her in a box in slum territory to be rescued by and Angel clan. Brought up within the clan she soon learned that her powers were a blessing, not a curse and was trained to control them as they grew and developed. This abandonment and emotional betrayal by her father is where the mistrust of Norms greatly stems from, however, this is also fed by the ever growing animosity from the general public for herself and her Angelic kin. From a very young age Karen has always shown the potential for leadership. Even as a child she was always at the head of every adventurous group, and consequently every mishap. Karen has a very strong connection with computers and is her clan?s link with technology being the only member with much access to terminals. Originating as a Norm citizen gives her many advantages, allowing her access to terminals and public buildings due to her registration chip. Her channel is a ring left to her by her mother just before she died. It is used to focus her magical abilities and glows when she uses strong magic. Being the only memory she has of her mother Karen is understandably very protective of it, allowing no one but herself to touch it. Fascinated by the earth?s history Karen has a small collection of books scrounged from the remnants of the holy war when technology took over and books were made obsolete. [b]Note:[/b]I will be needing a Fallen working for Technoglobe, the main archenemy as it were. If you want to be that character PM and I'll tell you the details. There can be other Fallen's I just need a main enemy. Let's get signing up shall we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braidless Baka Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 I think I'm done... I may come back and tweak it if you reckon it needs it ^_^ ~~~ [b]Name:[/b] Tonayal Thraves [b]Nickname:[/b] Ton [b]Age:[/b] 18 [b]Character Type:[/b] Hacker [b]Attributes:[/b] Being a hacker, Ton is obviously very good at... hacking. He's also a dab hand at internal hacking, this giving him access to a lot of information he just couldn't get at otherwise. Has [i]no[/i] magical abilities whatsoever. ;) [b]Appearance:[/b] Ton's usual dress consists of a pair of cargo pants and a t-shirt. He's not one who's exactly on top of fashion, and has no overwhelming desire to climb the social ladder. A mop of overgrown dusty-brown hair and a pair of hazel eyes, he doesn't exactly look like someone you would pay attention to. His right ear is pierced with a small gold stud, the only piece of jewellry he actually owns. His entire worldly possesions are contained in a small backpack that he's never seen without, to go along with his nomadic lifestyle. [b]Personality:[/b] Loyal to the point of what he openly admits is stupidity. If he is sticking with someone, he's not the kind to lose his nerve halfway. He's not really met anyone he'd give his life for just yet, but he's the kind of guy that wouldn't give it a second thought. He's also very protective of his hacking, and won't hesitate to jump headlong into an arguement if it needs to be argued about. He's also a bit of a hothead, who acts before thinking. He means well, but it doesn't always seem like it. [b]Bio:[/b] Up until about 4 years ago, Ton lived a happy Norm-ish lifestyle. He went to school, learned stuff, came home again. His father had a well-to-do job involving the Technoglobe mainframe, a well-paid job. Well-paid enough that Ton's mother could afford to be a housewife. But then, slowly, Ton began to see what Technoglobe was doing. How every aspect of what he did was controled - somehow. What he learned at school, how far his hobbies could go, even what his parents did for a living. All these things were determined by the system. Eventually this led to him becoming more of a rebel than he was comfortable with, recieveing numerous electronic warnings from school that he [i]really should[/i] stop screwing up the internal computers, if he'd be so kind. This in its turn led to disputes in the household, and eventually Ton decided he'd had enough, packing a few precious belongings and running. He was caught, and sent home, but he repeated the procedure shortly afterwards, his first stop after which being to get his registration chip removed. After this, the most recent four years of his life have been spent winging it. He relies on contacts he's made and skills he's developed to keep him alive. Technoglobe, while on the look-out for him, have no idea where he is now, his ability to take other (electronic) guises serving him especially well when he wants to travel. Humans don't argue with computers nowadays. However, the first fourteen years worth of indoctrenation have taken an unwelcome toll on Ton, his phobia of magic. Angels were always spoken of as lower beings who only wished the wrath of some evil God on the general population. As such, Ton doesn't understand their faith, and is afraid of the powers they have. Powers which are technically impossible... worse, they're [i]unscientific[/i]. He has no problem with the person behind the Angel, who they really are, he's just disturbed by what they can do, and will often get twitchy or nervous if he doesn't completely trust the magic-user.

Personality: Kenji is quiet man and tries to keep himself to himself. He sometimes comes off as a cold hearted person to strangers but to those who know him well, which isnt many people, know that he means well and is an honest person. Although if he is pushed he becomes growingly powerful and violent. Bio: Kenji was orphaned as a baby. His parents were both angels and were killed by a gang of "norms" who broke into their home. Kenji was left unharmed and was braught up in a home until he was adopted by a family at the age of 15. The people who adopted him didnt know he was an angel until kenji was 17, he got into a fight with another angel who was looking for trouble, as Kenji went to hit him, his fist burst into flames. The young man was left with third degree burns. The foster parents were apalled and threw kenji out of their home. He had almost given up hope when a man approached him with a proposition. The man worked for technoglobe and offered kenji a home, friends and a new life where he wouldn't be judged by his heritage. Kenji was trained and led to believe that the "angels" were rogue groups of people with powers and were using them against technoglobe, trying to bring down their way of life. Kenji, highly trained, is now a member of an elite strike force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eclectic Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 I'm being a little lazy with this, escpecially with the appearance, but I hope you won't mind. If I need to draw how my character looks or post a pic of the person she's based on, just PM me. I'll come back and add my bio later. ------ Name: Etta Fayren Hannah James Nickname: Fay or Etta Gender: Female Age: 16 Character Type: Fallen Attributes: Etta has the ability to manipulate flames by thought, shaping, moving, and heating them in any way she wants. Her flames are usually crimson, pruple, and white in color. Though she has some psychic abilities, she rarely uses them to contact anyone and instead leaves herself particially open to receive messages. Her favourite, and possibly most deadly, attack is Golgotha. The flames she mainpulates create a small mound with a cross bearing her opponent. Slowly, they are cruxified in the same way as Jesus in the Bible, though not always in the same order. She also enjoys creating a candle and pushing her opponents into its flames. Lastly, she better than average senses (heightened smell, sight, and hearing) but has uncharacteristically human strength. Appearance: -Height: 5'7 -Weight: Average -Eye Color: Crimson red -Hair: bright red with blackest black streaks; layered; approxiamately chin length; usually left to hang around her face -Clothing: tight, ripped black jeans; black and red Vans sneakers; crimson work-style shirt with a long sleeve t-shirt underneath; crimson red tie -Accessories: chain with a padlock on it; black choker; many black and red plastic bracelets; circle link belt; many patches on her shirts and jeans; usually wears all black makeup and nail polish Personality: Etta is a quiet person, keeping to herself and often immersing herself in music. At times when she regrets become a member of one of Technoglobe's strike teams and leaving her family behind, she become apapthetic and rsentful. Then, her memories bumrush her and her 'faith' in the company is restored, she once again become the cocky, brazen strategist she's expected to be. Bio: Etta was born in one of the largest and worst slums, or so she thought. Everyday it seemed, the Norms in the area found a new way to chastise her. Often times, she tried to ignore them and let her anger simmer just beneath the surface. On those other occasions, her abilities exploded forward out of her control. It was on one of these occasions, she learned of her favourite attack, Golgotha. Immeadiately, she ran home to try this again on any victim she could find. Eventually, she perfected the attack and worked on improvng her ability so that she'd never be teased about being an Angel again. Shortly aftwerward, her home was attacked by a strike team. She hid fom them, of course, but stayed were she was just out of sight and could still see them. She marveled at their ruthlessness and precision, sure that if she were one of them, no one would make fun of her again. As they left, she followed closely behind them to find their base of operations. Once she was sure she could find it again, she returned home, claiming to have run away during the attack. Several months later, on her tenth birthday to be exact, she returned to the strike team's base and claimed she had vital information for them. When she was sure they wouldn't betray her, she told them all she knew of her home, nearby hiding places, and plans of rebellion. After this betrayal, she knew she could never return home and became the strike team's personal gopher (or is it go-for?). Over the years, she pulled herself through the team's ranks, despite her age and lack of strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasrai Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 [COLOR=teal][SIZE=3][FONT=arial] I hope I get in this, it looks really great! O.O If you need me to change anything in this, just ask. Name: Kristin Lance McFord Nickname: Lance/Kris Gender: female Age: 19 Character Type: Angel Attributes: Kris decided to develop all the gifts that were genetically given to all angels, transmutation, healing, and telepathy. She can do almost anything if she concentrates hard enough. Though what she prides herself on, is her talent at shape-shifting and her psychic abilities, which include telekinesis, teleportation and mind reading. She can also sense what the people around her are feeling, sometimes she considers this is a gift, and sometimes a curse. Appearance: Kris is about 5?3 and has very short red-brown hair, which most of the time looks like she just woke up. Her eyes are a very light green, like lime green, but brighter, because of this it is very hard not to be noticed by Norms, so she usually puts on blue contacts. Most of the time she wears some worn and baggy dark brown cargo pants that are lined with black. With these she wears a dark green tee shirt that has an even darker green trim around the sleeves and waist. She is extremely flat chested and muscular for a girl these features combined with her short hair are the reason many people pass her off as a boy at first glance, and sometimes even under a scrutinizing look. She has two small silver hoops on her left eyebrow where it is pierced, and also her right earlobe is pierced, in this she has another silver hoop that has black beads on it, but in the center she has a little clear bead. To top all of this off she always has her dark colorless corduroy back pack she carries around with everything she owns and cares for in it. Personality: Kris is very tomboyish and mercurial, she always has been a swift and mischievous prankster. She loves to laugh and have a good time, but she knows when to stop and be serious. Though she is known for her impatient and impulsive behavior, she gives excellent advise and counsel to those in trouble or in need. Aside from that Kris is very generous and caring and can?t stand seeing anyone she knows and loves being hurt, probably because she can feel what their feeling. Having spent most of her life hiding from fallen and strike teams she developed agoraphobia. Bio: Kris was born to the parents of Marie and Luke McFord. Ever since she can remember her mother, Marie began helping her develop all the gifts that were given to her when she was really little, she always said, ?You never know when you might need them.? By ten Kris had become as powerful as her parents combined, but through her mother and father?s good teaching and love she had learned how to control her temper, and to only use her gifts when it was absolutely necessary and never ever use them to kill. Then when she, her parents, and the other two members of their clan were taking a walk around the slums, a strike team appeared out of the shadows and began shooting. All she heard was her mother yelling for her run, and run she did. She only stopped when she couldn?t hear any more gunshots. There she turned around and started back, when she reached the scene, the strike team was gone, and everyone was dead, everyone except her mother. Crying silently, she walked to her mother?s mangled body, and started crying even more because she knew she didn?t have enough power to heal her mother. As she kneeled down close to her mother, she sang to her mother the song her mother used to always sing to her, when she finished her mother had died her hand clasped tightly around Kris? and in it was the clear bead that now is on Kris? earring. This is the item that Kris? energy is channeled through, when she is particularly concentrating or doing magic. Not having anywhere to go Kris wandered the streets until another clan took her, a clan full of boys, this is where Kris got her tomboyish nature, and her style of clothing. Eventually, when she was around eighteen Kris left the clan and has been on her own since then carrying everything she owns in her pack, which she never lets anyone touch or open. Once again I hope I get in, remember if you need me to change anything, just ask.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishie Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 [color=crimson] Gah! I hope this is okay. Kami-sama its been so long since i've properly rped! I may return to add slightly more later, it depends if my inspirtation stays with me ^__^ If ya need any of the following changed, just yell at me and it shall be done! *cackles* ~~~~~~~~~~ [b]Name:[/b] Lain Simarin [b]Nickname:[/b] Settou-ai [b]Age:[/b] 19 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Character type:[/b] Halfling [b]Atrributes:[/b] Lain prefers to push away his limited ability in magic rather than embrace it making him inexperienced in the use of his skills. However this does not mean he cannot cause damage should he need it. His magic has a tendancy to errupt at times when his temper is high or he is suffering a mental unbalance appearing in glittering threads of power. If Lain wasn't scared to control his powers these outbursts would not happen. Although his magical skills have gotten him out of some very difficult situations, providing extremely shallow grey cover should he be in danger. Lain has not been brave enough to attempt to channel the energy within him for stronger uses. [b]Appearance:[/b] Being a young man of 19 Lain isn't exactly desperate to look his best. He can usualy be found wearing shirts of black or dark grey, his favourite being a sleevless grey tanktop which matches his eyes perfectly. He also prefers to wear black pants which cling to his body rather than hang, as the tighter clothing allows him to run faster should he need to escape for any reason. His clothes are never brand new as Lain usualy steals his garments or finds them littered on the floor. They are usualy plain with no sort of decoration adorning them in an attempt to not draw too much attention to himself despite the "white/black" look he has as he is extremely pale. Lain's eyes are a deep grey, so grey they are almost black. Although the colour is not extremely startling it is very unsual and this is what makes his stand out from the norms. No norm has eyes that look as if they are dead. His hair is extremely light, the strands are so blonde they look almost white. Sometimes a eerie gold colour if the light happens to bring highlights out in it, He wears his hair short, yet long in the front-his bangs reaching just past the tip of his nose and are scattered about his line of vision. Lain is constantly pushing these strands from his eyes to allow him to see, yet sometimes they come in handy when he needs to hide his eye colour from society. Lain wears little jewlery after having his possesions stolen when he reached the age of 17. However he wears two small studs in his left ear, the only two items which he managed to keep on his body beside clothes. The first earring is a small black onyx gem placed just above the center of his ear-lobe, the second is a black-opal which is larger than the onyx stud. This opal usualy changes colour when caught in the light. [b]Personality:[/b] Lain keeps himself to himself at most times, prefering to lurk in the shadows instead of force himself into society with a loud bang. After being mistreated by so many people in his life his personality has changed from smiling and care-free to quiet and withdrawn. Most people see this silent approach as cold and uncaring, however that is not true. When one gets to know Lain he is a very kind and affectionate person, someone who always goes out of his way to help another regardless of the consequences. These attributes to his personality intertwined with his looks is what gave Lain his nickname "Settou-ai" which basically means "Love thief" Many a person has fallen under Lain's spell and offered their heart to him. Lain has turned each smitten person away so far, due to not wanting to cause problems for someone other than himself. Lain has always feared the small amount of magic he has been blessed with, calling his powers a "curse" rather than a gift. He shy's away from his skills thus being very inexperienced in the use of it. Lain has always felt threatened by normal society and tends to venture alone, making him extremely wary and most often mistrusting. [b]Bio:[/b] Lain's life has never been easy. He was orphened at the age of 7 and has been wandering the earth alone since. Having seen the worlds cruelity directed at Angels and Halflings alike Lain had never even considered asking an adult for help, instead he taught himself what he needed to know to survive and stay safe. Thus making him a very skinny weak boy up until the age of 15. Lain never talks about his life before the age of 7 and is always avoiding the subject should it be brought up, of course he knows what happened before that age, yet he never mentions it to anyone, he never allows anyone get that close to him to find out either. Fearing that he would be a burden on any older person which may attempt to take him in Lain avoided people and never came into contact with an Angel-Clan and so with the fear of his magic and never being taught to trust it, Lain's powers remain practically dormant until a human instinct arises or his emotions flare, which causes the small opal in his ear to glow steadily and burn his skin. Lain has a small scar surrounding the gem because of this. Like his past, Lain refuses to explain how the studs got into his ear, although if people ask he tells them he didn't pierce the flesh himself. Beneath his cold exterior Lain is a very soft person and is constantly daydreaming on his travels. He has a book of stories he has been writing for the last several years, he keeps these hidden as his way to escape from the crumbling world around him. At the moment Lain continues to wander the earth, he still isn't sure what he is looking for though.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcadia Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 [size=1][color=maroon]Doukeshi, I'm posting on the basis that I've PMed you about the special Fallen character and all that. I hope it works for you. ^_^ [b]Name:[/b] Morgan Kendra [b]Nickname:[/b] Not too many people actually call her Morgan, unless they've known her for a very, very long time, or they just want to die. She usually just goes by Kendra, sometimes "the hawk.? [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] 26 [b]Character Type:[/b] Fallen; strike team leader [b]Attributes:[/b] Kendra holds powerful reserves of Telekinesis, and is possibly the strongest user of the mind form in the entire city. She?s as silent as the night and can sneak into any facility unnoticed, and combined with her abnormal quickness, is a deadly assassin. Her strength is greater than normal, though it is not one of her defining attributes, and she does have some electric ability, though only to an extent. Her telekinesis is above all her most prominent power, and as such it is notorious among all under Technoglobe?s rule, and greatly feared. [b]Appearance:[/b] Kendra is tall, slender and lean, and surprisingly agile, even for her lithe body type. Her brilliant yellow eyes and pitch-black hair have earned her the occasional nickname "the hawk", and it's a nickname well earned. Her clothes are always dark and tight, and usually some sort of leather is thrown into the mix. More often than not she wears a black mesh shirt over a black, lacy bra. Her eyebrow is pierced, along with most of her right ear, and her make-up is usually dark, eyes thickly shadowed. Some people like to think she does this to hide the unnatural color of her eyes, but the stark contrast really only brings them out even more. Her left hand is completely covered in tattoos; circular designs that curve up and down her fingers. On this same hand she wears an onyx ring, hardly even visible above all the black ink, and this serves as her channeling agent. The ring was an old piece of her father?s, who left her and her mother long ago for reasons unknown. [b]Personality:[/b] Motivated by the need to atone for her ?guilty? past and a hatred for Angels flamed over the years by Technoglobe, Kendra is normally cold and manipulative. She?s a mystery to any who meet her; she seems to constantly switch from being quiet and unresponsive to bold and outspoken, though always dangerous. Ambiguous at moments, it?s hard to tell if she doesn?t care, or just wants you to think that. She won?t ever accept help or any sort of sympathy; Kendra sees it as a weakness in the worst way, which she always associates with Angels. Her dark past, however, is the catalyst of most of her behavior, and it?s a part of her that she constantly struggles with and tries to overcome. Underneath that hard shell she?s a very lonely and scared woman, afraid to see the truth because of the implications that it would have for her. [b]Bio:[/b] Kendra has always harnessed unbelievable power, and though she has great control over it now, it wasn?t always like that. Always able to slip into rooms unnoticed, she did this one night in her home only to find a strange man holding her mother against the wall by the throat. The man did not notice her, but her mother did, and the pained look in her eyes was too much for Kendra. She ran at the man, throwing herself into him. He only knew she was there when her momentum sent both crashing to the floor, leaving her mother sliding down the wall, gasping for sweet breath once again. It was then that Kendra got a good look at the man, and more specifically, his eyes ? they were a bright silvery blue, much too bright for any normal person. Unable to understand why an Angel would attack fellow Angels, as she was just a child then, she froze up. The man threw her off, shocking her with his electric power, just enough to leave her immobile for a few minutes ? that was all he needed. Once she was out of the way, he turned back to Kendra?s mother, who made no move to run or see if her daughter was all right; she just glared at the man before her in anger and despair. Because what Kendra didn?t know was that this man was her father, a Fallen. When Kendra came to, the first thing she saw was her mother?s motionless body and a bright streak of blood across the wall behind her. She tried to wake her mother, tried to shake her so that she?d open her eyes, but Kendra soon realized the horrible truth? her mother was not going to wake up. It was then that Kendra?s extreme power was first noticed; the little girl screamed in anguish, so strongly and loudly that the very room around her seemed to tremble. In actually, it was beginning to break apart, because Kendra was calling on reserves she didn?t know she had. The entire room collapsed around her in response to that unrestrained power. Somehow the little girl made it out of that looking almost entirely unscathed, though the surge of power that went through her almost destroyed her completely. The same man who had been threatening her mother found her and took her with him, where he eventually trained her how to control her power. She grew up under the words of the Fallen, and with the belief that it had been she who killed her mother, for a child?s mind is easily corrupted with lies. Taught to serve Technoglobe with her powers and to distrust Angels of all forms, Kendra learned fast, and much to her father?s pride, moved quickly up the ladder to where she stands today. She still has no idea who her father really is, however, and ironically looks to the man that saved her as her ?saving grace? - the father-figure she never had. Naturally there are similarities between them, but are overlooked entirely because of the fact that he was the one to train her, after all.

I hope these work well for you. If you need more, or just need me to fix an aspect of the sign-up, I?d be more than happy to oblige.

Walnut Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Name: Laura Jenkin Nickname: Jenk (and also the one she is most commonly refered to by everyone she knows) Gender: Female Age: 22 Character Type: Fallen Attributes: Not one to be known for her magical abilities, Jenk tries as much as possible to leave her powers alone. She has not beomce inexpereienced in any style but like to think she's in control of herself. When her powers do come into play, which is few and far between, she prefers to control the storms that rage through cities and in the vast wilderness beyond the domes - when she does use her magic a moon-dragon necklase around her neck glows, allowing the black orb to glow eariely. Jenk prefer's fighting with hand-held weapony, favouring the sword and throwing daggers for the most part but with a few adaptions of her own along the way. She is swift and quick to learn any form of this style of weapony and aspires to become a known weapon master but is a long way from achieving that staus yet. Appearance: Jenk is about 5"9 in height, with a well built figure from years of training and meditation. She has black hair that reaches down below her shoulder blades, it is streaked with two silver highlights, appearing to be about five centimeters wide, that run the whole lenght of her hair. She usually wears her hair in a half-twist with a braided gold band holding it in place. Her eye colour is indistinguable as her eyes are hidden behind thick blacked out gogglesm but she is far from blind. Her eyes are light sentistive which seems to give her an edge in fighting in the darkened alley's of the city. Her skin tone is quite dark for most Angel standards and it often reflects her mood. She wears a black body-suit that has a white zig-zag patten running down either side and a white tunic over the top which has an bone dragon inprint of the back, done in black and edged with gold. She wears a grey metal belt with bone-dragon style buckle on the front and around her neck is the moon-dragon necklase given to her by a family relative and a thin silver scarf with black tassels. Leather, fingerless gloves cover her hand and a samuri sword is visible on her back, the handle a criss-cross of black, silver and gold bands. The shef is of a similar style and when the blade is drawn it is long and thin with a semingly pure white glow. Personality: Jenk is not a girl to be messed with, she is often very quiet and focused on her mission and orders. Some would say that she was overly loyal to Tenchoglobe - but she would disagree with this. Jenk feels she owes her loyality to them but for what reason she cannot say. Jenk is also a very lonely and lost person, a little lost child searching to understand the reactions of society to her and the other Fallen. She feel's that a part of her life is missing and therefore can become quite depressed and a little insane at times if she is pushed to far. When Jenk is not feeling depressed, insane or focused on a mission she can often be found meditating or improving on her weapon skills, in simulated training zones. She believes she has very little time for socialistation and tries to discounnect herself from society. Bio: Laura was born into the Technoglobe world, just weeks before her birth her mother had been rounded up and labelled in one of the many 'liquidistation' proccesses. Before her mother had the chance to claim her daughter as her own, the company took her away and said that she would act as their payment. Laura did not have a normal, happy child-hood. As soon as she was old enough they trained her night and day, tourtured her on many an occassion to try to push her to her limits. They never denied what she [i]was[/i] they just never [i]informed[/i] her of what she could become. One training session, when she was a little over eight years, an instructor visiously beat her across her face with the back of his hand. Jenk responded to this by counter-attacking him with her magic and causing a lightening bolt to strike him down. The flash of the light caused her much pain and would have blinded her...the the corp had other plans for her. An operation was carried out to make her eyes light-sensitive, therefore meaning that sunlight of any amount would cause great pain to her but she would have an advantage in the dark street's and corners. Since her eyes were of no use in sunlight, she would be able to see in darkness and use this ability as a hunter of the night. Jenk soon learned to live with her new eye-sight, picking up images of the world around her in a oddly pink world with yellow and blue flashes as things moved differently throughout her line of vision. She made a promise to herself that her powers would go mainly unused, unless there was no other way that she could 'resolve' the situation. As the years went on she progressed in her skills with the sword and throwing dagger and learned to channel her power more throughtly. The necklase that she wears she knows belonged to someone who had seen her as family one time and she can only rely on what information the corp give her about her past. She is fallen, but she has never known what life is like without the corp. Technoglobe are her family....yet why does she feel so alone and lost? A question that has recently started to grow in her mind. Her missions are important and she will carry them out to the end...but a new objective is growing. Who is Laura Jenkin? ooc: hope you like Doukeshi ^_^ it took me ages. I'll have a hunt and send you a post right now. oh, anything you want me to ed...give me a yell.
