Title: Ask the Characters
Post by: babidikrakenguard on October 12, 2009, 06:05:02 PM
Same name, same game.. But with a new twist! ;)


This version of Ask the Characters? Well, it's played exactly like the other version, but this version we ask the characters created by users here, characters that appear in various fanfics or Roleplays. Of course, there's a slight cache.. You must be the creator of the character that gets asked a question in order to answer a question as said character, or something along those lines.. :s You may also want to post a list containing some of the characters willing to answer a question. Also, the next poster gets to ask the first question.. :p

Game is still pretty new so if you have ideas or suggestions for the game, please PM me :)

@Adykon: You've been part of the RP from the RP, and was actually the first character ever seen. With the first 300 or so pages done, what would you say was your greatest moment in the RP so far?
Title: Ask the Characters
Post by: Noname on October 12, 2009, 08:25:01 PM
Adykon: (laughs) The time I pushed Arcantas off of the tower. Heheh. That was good. He came back as a vampire, but until then... I was the big hero. I killed him again, for good, but... nothing has topped that tower moment.

antimatter Shelton: He was scared out of his wits.
Shelton: Was not. And how would you know? You weren't even there!
antimatter Shelton: I have all your memories from before I was created, remember?
Shelton: (ignores him) In situations like that, you don't really think, you just force yourself to keep going. You don't have time to be scared, and if you stopped to think of just how improbable your chances of survival were, you'd have a nervous breakdown--
antimatter Shelton: That's funny, because when I was stuck on a self-imploding planet, I was clear-headed enough to locate a space shuttle.
Shelton: Shut up, you!
...

@ Pino: what would you say is your favorite moment of your adventures so far?

@Adykon: If you could go back and change one of your decisions are actions, what would it be?

Adykon: I would have stayed with Vaeri instead of leaving her. When I got her pregnant with my child, I left on a campaign for what I told her was just six months in order to earn enough money for our new family. I never returned. I later met her again and gave her a fake story about why I had not made it back... she bought it. I regret telling her that lie as well. I didn't need to go on a campaign, nor did I have any good reason to leave her... and now, Vaeri is dead.

----------------------

TWV Ms. Swimmer: Well, admittedly this war was like nothing I had ever seen before and I was scared when the invasions first started but eventually, the entire valley got their act together and we started actually winning. Not to mention that my twin sticks have proven themselves useful in combat.

Hey Ophion! What's your favorite element? :lol
Title: Ask the Characters
Post by: Noname on October 13, 2009, 04:48:18 PM
Ophion: Fire. It is what I am best with. It's a common choice, I know. There are four elements, but 1/3 of mages prefer to use fire. It's not hard to see why; it is the most powerful of the elements... even if fire is actually a chemical reaction.  :lol

IC Zachary: Pretty zany but they are all grade A badasses.
James: It's not that obvious that my creator reads TV tropes but you can see influences. As for my crowning moment of awesome? I've got a decent amount but I'd say the car chase in the second RP takes the cake. I mean it takes gigantic silicon carbide balls to chase a heavily armed convoy through Las Vegas with nothing more than a single Stryker vehicle, some Humvees and a pickup truck.

Post by: Noname on October 14, 2009, 03:15:58 AM
Taranis: It tastes good on hot dogs, has Biblical references (Luke 13:18-19, among others), and it has... high combustibility!

The first two are true, not that last one.

Are you here too, boldface?!

Taranis: Abraca- EXPLANATION!

"Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it."

- Luke 13:18–9

"And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it."

- Mark 4:30–2

"Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof."

- Matthew 13:31–2

Shelton: It scared the crap out of me, which was why I swore slightly more than necessary. I mean, up till then Kerzach had been the only guy other than me who'd never been much of a fighter, and then here he goes and wins a fight-to-the-death with a letter opener...

Oscar: ...And what were you doing? Just standing there? What if he'd lost?

Shelton: (ignores him) So yeah, I was just glad he was on my side, not the other time around. And his newly-proven skills later proved useful when the two of us were undercover for so long in the Dragonstorm ranks.

Title: Ask the Characters
Post by: Serris on October 20, 2009, 01:41:31 AM
Kerzach: Well, you get put into a situation where you nearly had your throat cut and you can do some crazy things.

-----------------------------

Dr. Zanasiu: Well, I lost my security clearance and was banned from ever working with the government again. Columbia University has removed me from my alumni list, their latest biological research center had its name changed from "Zanasiu Genetics Center" to "Yalaman Genetics Center". Oh, I was also permanently banned from ever setting foot in the Columbia campus, which I found out when I was invited as a guest lecturer. My family has completely stopped communicating with me. Luckily, Krebs-Calvin Pharmaceuticals was in need of some molecular biologists so I got a job there and I have feeling that they hired me because I was so infamous but skilled.

Dr. Kerzach: Well like James, I lost my security clearance and was banned from ever working with the government again. Rutgers University has removed me from their alumni list and I lost most of my friends. Not to mention someone tried to burn my house down...while I was inside! I also got harassing and threatening phone calls. I had to move out of the state and live with Neville Ivers, who also moved out of state. After a while, I got a job at the Nevada based lanthanide metals refining company called Rara Terra Smelting. Of course, someone found out and the harassment started up again. How did I stop the harassment? Let's say identity theft isn't always bad...

Zachary: Where to begin? Let's start with losing my security clearance and getting permanently banned from government jobs. Further more, Cornell University has removed my name from their alumni list. Oh, yeah my family does not speak to or even of me. And James has literally become my only friend.

Sharon Varma: Well, aside from the usual "lose security clearance, no government jobs for as long as you live" crap, I also found out that my name was removed from MIT records. Not to mention that quite a few companies won't hire me because the entire situation had followed me. So what did I do? Like Kerzach said, ID theft isn't always bad. I "borrowed" a Vegas stripper's identity and bribed some officials to make it look like Sharon Varma was the stripper's real name. I used the new ID to get a job as an electrician's assistant. So if you meet a Dhole working as an electrician's assistant with the name "Joan Kierwal", that's me.
 
Neville Ivers: Oh... This one's bad. Let's see, no security clearance, no government jobs for life, I lost my house because someone burned it down. I had to move out of Nevada. My current situation... I'm living out of my SUV!

ROSS: I don't inhabit the flashlight so much as I do the thought network. The problem is that because I lack a source I cannot establish a strong-enough wireless link, unless I have a boost. During the flight to New Peenemunde, Shelton rigged the flashlight to amplify thought signals (how he contacted Hans), so I can communicate with whoever has the flashlight equipped. The process would also work with a regular thought chip amplifier, such as the ones seen at Idaho Prison.

All right, also we should add that your vote supersedes others since you are the GM.

Stern: Because my creator never fully planned out my attitude towards other races. First I'm heavily hinted to be romantically attracted to a fox to the extent that I gave her a massage in the same bed, and then the next day he introduces a virtually identical fox character to take my place so that he won't have to role-play an interspecial sex scene.

Cale: Well, you might be in luck, Aimee recently became single ;)

Simultaneously create ideal government workers and cut down on the number of parent-less children, you see. Some people criticized the program, saying it severely crippled the subject's emotional development, but personally I've never seen any negative side effects in my own personality.

As time went on I started to notice little things that would happen again and again, like she'd forget a bunch of stuff on the shopping list, or what day of the week it was. Eventually, it started getting worse. Like, a lot worse - so I was taking days off school, making sure she was okay and reminding her what my name was. Turns out she had something called 'Early Onset Dementia', which is I've read is pretty rare. So, uh... that kind of sucked. A few years later, it got to the point where I had to take her in to a home. That's, uh, pretty much it I guess.

The people responsible were augs. Legal system didn't punish them, so I did. Slowly. Was pretty good at that too. Then I got dismissed from the army because I wouldn't let them stick their electronics in me to improve my combat skills. I started to see patterns - the world's moving forward for the augmented and spitting on the rest of us. So I looked for other people who could see the augs for the corrupted scum they are, and found them. Started working for them. I'm good at that, too.

It'd be a lot easier to negotiate with the police if I knew what I was running from. So I haven't yet really stopped to think about the future. It's tough to do when you keep almost getting killed.

Emilena: Auughhh...I don't know. I don't want to talk about it.

...OK fine! Yes, so I'm letting him go a little further with me than I'd ever let anyone before, but he's proven himself trustworthy. We had a good working relationship before all this, it's natural that I trust him a bit more than maybe I should. Right? I know he's interested in a full relationship, but I haven't really stopped to think about going further. Right now I'm too busy trying to get revenge on Mr. Almaya for embarrassing me in front of my entire unit.

Kojuuro:  I was a soldier for a while, back when I was younger, but I discovered that I don't really...see eye to eye with military life.  So I resigned, took up a little freelancing work.  Same PMC that took Adrian recruited me to act as a Handler for their little project, so I did.

Oscar: --Those are the stupidest ideas I have ever heard.

Shelton: But none of it worked because plants are mind-numbingly boring. They don't care about anything, they don't talk about anything, just sit there giving throwaway answers and being dissmissive if you talk about yourself. That conversation I had with the one on the oil rig? Maybe it's because we were both about to die, but we might as well have been contestants on Think Fast compared to the speed plants normally talk. So ultimately, no. Worst superpower ever.

I'm about as intimidating as a stick, and can fight just about as well as one. All I have are my winning smile and my smart mouth. Which isn't that winning, actually. Or that smart. Given our situation... it's not exactly, ah, ideal. Maybe I should join up with a gym? If I don't die horribly before this is all over, that is.

Emilena: Two days ago, I'd have said "none", but recently I've discovered that there are some activities that can get my blood flowing...maybe if we go to a concert. One of those ones with the bikers and rampant drug use; considering the amount of riots I've broken up at those, it can't be too hard to start one. After that, maybe we could participate in a pickup rugby match, or lacrosse if rugby isn't available. After that, assuming my date is still alive, I'd take him home, bring him into my bedroom...and bare-knuckle brawl him until one of us is unconscious.

Lily: Well...to be honest, from what I've seen of my relationship with Denny, it didn't sound too bad. A quiet house to come home to, enough money to go on recreational hikes, some children...I can't really think of much more I'd ask for. If I could somehow get all of that back, I'd be happy. Especially the part about looking like myself again.

Kerzach: It felt great! There are no words to describe how utterly fantastic it feels to be freed of that creep!

Sanjay: Well, I'd prefer not to kill but being an Indian Cobra with rather potent venom ó and facing guys who are completely f---ing blitzed on whatever s--- the drug dealers made, it's kinda hard not to. Besides, most of the people I killed were thugs, druggies and other assorted lowlifes.

Anne: It all started back in college when I got into drug use to help make grades. As a poor college student, I didn't have much disposable income from a job at the college cafeteria to spend on nootropics, so I just decided to go and maybe steal some things to help fund my drug use. Fast-forward ten years and well, you know.

Cale:
I apologize this took so long to answer, but I suppose the reason that I couldn't stay with one group or another for long is simple.  To me, there were no such things.  It was me against the world, and anyone who had something I could use was fair game, and once they were no longer of use...I simply left and moved on...but Aimee changed that for me for good and all.

Aimee: Cale was a huge help in recovering from everything that happened to me. Especially Hailey's death...that took the longest to get over. It was one of the reasons we avoided the others for so long, we didn't want to remember...but considering the life I'd lived before the whole Dragonstorm incident, we considered ourselves pretty lucky! I loved Cale with all my heart, he loved me, and we never let each other down.

Shakila: To be honest...I was a completely different person after all that. Could never really commit to anything, my mind was stuck in the past. Slash, Agito and I settled down in Detroit and lived a pretty poor life. Nobody told us we had millions of dollars waiting for us if we revealed ourselves... Florence was also a nightmare to take care of. Always needed so much attention until she ran away. Things got way better after we reunited with the others at the movie theater; we three cashed all those checks and lived lives of luxury. Though I always suspected Slash and Agito loved each other more than they loved me...

Agito:  Trust me, you're the one we've always loved, more than anyone or anything in any life.  

Neku:  Honestly, I wouldn't say I wrote about the incident.  Mine were always more...fictionalized accounts of something similar.  Rouge scientists, crazed energy beings, things like that.  So it's either James or Kerzach.

Emilena: Homosexuality is equally as repulsive as regular sexuality. I certainly have not partaken in it myself. It's unnatural, like augmentation, but at least it doesn't violate the laws of nature. In regards to these urges, I unfortunately have to submit to some rather unpleasant acts regardless, it hardly matters the gender of whom gets to witness me at my worst.

Erm, no, I'm not gay, but I've got no problem with anyone who is. I mean, there's so much crap going on in the world right now - what's wrong with two people who like each other, whoever they are?

Adrian and Kojuuro seem pretty good, but they've got a lot going on now. I guess Anne's fired a gun but... I think she's a little high most of the time and I don't want her to shoot me if I piss her off. I remember one time, when I was a kid, I got invited to a paintball party and I accidentally shot myself in... erm, well, let's just say I was walking funny for a while.

I didn't want it, and it still is weird sometimes...knowing that whatever you feel from the augmented areas isn't...you feeling it.  It's just...weird, you know?  But Augs are capable of doing a lot, so...Guess I'm more fond of Baselines, but still see the use of Augmenteds.

Kojuuro:  Truthfully, I see myself as much closer to a Baseline than an Augment, so my bias is definitely towards baselines.  I see why Augmentation has grown the way it has, but that doesn't mean I like it.  Some people take it too far.  Lifesaving Augmentation is one thing, but doing it to become a weapon...despicable.
Title: Ask the Characters
Post by: Pterano on January 08, 2014, 01:46:02 PM
Tony: Same-sex couples? Well... that's an interesting question. I can say I'm definitely straight, and have not been with someone of my gender. Granted, I haven't been with too many females either, and my relationships usually don't last long due to either my family ties or my very fast life after I joined the Purifiers. I guess I'm OK with same-sex relationships, but have never really given it much thought. It's their own business I guess, though I'd personally be too afraid to ever experiment myself, on the off chance I ever was feeling uncertain of my sexuality.

Tony: Opinion on the others in the group? Well I've only just met most of them, so can only form very rough opinions based on my observations. Adrian seemed very generous and forgiving, and I really wish I could've gotten to know him better before he became critically injured. Hopefully I can repay his saving my life soon.

Kojuuro seems kind of rough, and not very approachable. I haven't made much effort to interact with him for these reasons, but I guess I wouldn't mind getting to know him a bit better if I ever gathered up the courage to try.

Axel seems the most relatable to me so far, as he's easy to talk to and made the first effort to crack the ice with me when I was surrounded by potentially hostile people who didn't trust me and even wanted to kill me in some cases. Given he didn't immediately call for my head and even tried to befriend me to an extent, I'll probably keep him close in the days ahead.

Lily appears to me to be fragile and harbors uncertainty over things, but I know for a fact there's way more to her than I've observed so far. She seems to be the object of desire for more than one person in our group, but she seems too concerned with something to really be capable of fully reciprocating these feelings. What her story is, I don't know, but she really seems to be tied into knots about something, that's for sure. Lacks knowledge of how to use a gun, I noticed, so perhaps she's someone we need to keep an eye on in dangerous situations for her sake.

Soren was pretty quick to distrust me, but I can't say I blame him, given his tragic history with the Purifiers. He more than anyone else has got me rethinking my decision to join them, seeing what they did to him in the past. While I don't feel exactly at ease around him, I feel comfortable enough to not outright avoid him if I see him approaching. We seem to be warming to each other a bit more as time passes, so hopefully those barriers won't continue to clog our interaction in the future. I don't mean ill by him, after all.

Anne is well... kind of funny actually. I don't personally partake in drugs (my father has a very strict rule forbidding it in our family), but she's just so lackadaisical in appearance and mannerisms that it's kind of humorous. She still caries herself seriously enough though that I don't see her as a joke. Our conversation has been limited to idle prattle, so I'll hold comments until further interaction.

I can't really comment on the mechanical doctor I saw. He seems... like a really focused dude, I guess. He's a machine, and seeing a machine capable of doing what he does makes me extremely uneasy, but I'll wait and see for myself how he is.

The newcomers who showed up I didn't really speak to much, so I can't comment for now. I think that's about it for now on my comments and observations on the group.

Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on January 10, 2014, 04:42:06 PM
Emilena: Counseling is for the weak-minded who wish to convince themselves of their own self-worth. I'm perfectly content with my body and my mind the way they are, at least as soon as I cure myself of the effects of that damnable neurocotic. Besides, my police work offered a very meager salary, and counselors love to milk their patents for as much money as they can finagle. If I hoped to be rich and live a long happy life, I picked the wrong line of work.

-------------------------

Lupis: An agent must work with the tools he's given. As my assigned resources have proven less than sufficient for recapturing Ms. North, I've decided to approach the problem from a less routine angle. Mr. Bhat had a very successful military career before going AWOL, and I suspect his abandonment was related to the fear of losing his augments, not any loss of loyalty. Provide him the proper reason to work for you, and I suspect he'll cooperate if the situation continues to favor him. I'm hoping to work with him again after this assignment.

Officer Echo, on the other hand, is frankly too stupid to see a bad deal in the long run. She's shown no loyalty to any group, but simultaneously doesn't have the mental capacity to actively betray anyone. I designed her assignment to be incredibly simple because she seems less capable of following complicated plans. Ultimately, I'd rather not involve her in this case, but I have evidence she has associated with the target, and I'd be foolish to not make use of such a resource. Rest assured, she will not be made an agent of the CIA even if she succeeds. I'll see to that personally if necessary.

I was kind of that way myself, but my determination to succeed kind of set me apart from the rest of them.

His attempt to murder me didn't help his case.

Tony: I come from a relatively large family, so yes, I have several other relatives. My pops has a younger brother, Mario. Both my pops and uncle grew up in a street gang, so they're both no strangers to violence. Whilst my father grew to become head of the family, uncle Mario runs dad's shipping company, while dad runs the road repair company that er... cleans up all those crumbling highways we've got. He's also my dad's current underboss (I suspect to prevent my siblings and I from fighting over that position). I like my uncle. He's much more emotionally charged up than my pops is, and I have a lot of fond childhood memories of playing various games with him. He'd spoil me rotten, and I suspect I was always the favorite of his nephews and nieces. I'd love to see him again if possible.

I have an older brother, Victor, who's kind of rough around the edges. He was a total bully to me growing up, and he lacks business sense, pretty much eliminating him from the running for underboss. I've always gotten the indication my father would prefer me for that role someday. Victor is still family though, and has mellowed out with age, but don't ever insult the guy. I guess I'd... be OK with seeing him again... I just never had much in common with him, to be honest.

I also have a younger brother, Elio. Elio is awesome. I'm closest to him out of my siblings, and we have a lot in common, though he's also somewhat indecisive and not nearly as ambitious as my father would like, and it's this reason I suspect my father is considering me for underboss over Elio. But Elio's cool. He's only two years younger than me, and we were buddies growing up, though I sometimes had to protect him from Victor's um... rampages. I'd definitely want to see him again if I could!

Finally, I have two younger sisters, about a year apart from each other. Paola (or Paula as she prefers) is the older one, and I get along very well with her. Unfortunately, now that she's almost 20, she's become a real um... guy magnet I guess in the past few years. She knows she looks good and has become a pretty big flirt lately, which my father really doesn't approve of. She's attracting some unwanted attention, as father really doesn't want her to marry "scum." In fact, dad asked me to try and recommend one of my friends to her, but I really haven't made a decision on that one yet, thanks largely to my joining the Purifiers recently. Yeah, I'd like to see her again, but I hope she doesn't try and well... hook up with any of my new guests.

The youngest in the family is Maria Carolina (she likes going by Caroline). Caroline is, for lack of a better term... a bitch. She's not very literate or well-read, and this has made her extremely jealous of any girls I've dated, who've quite frankly made her look unsophisticated and stupid (which I hate to say, she really is compared to my type of woman). I think she's got a chip on her shoulder or something from being the youngest, but either way, every time I brought a girl to the house to meet my pops, Caroline would always pull some stupid prank on them to try and drive them off. She also seems to resent that if I do succeed dad, my family's gonna be the ones running the business in the future, and I think she kind of wants any children she may have to do that instead. She's got such an awful personality though that I'd be very surprised if she could ever land a guy for any long period of time. About the only time she's OK is if our family is being threatened. That's the funny thing about her. She LOVES bickering with us but if someone outside the family threatens us... watch out! She'll close ranks and you wouldn't even know about her arguments with us if you tried. Either way, I am NOT looking forward to seeing her again.

=====================

Don Stracci: Augmented? Let me explain something to you. I am a businessman first and foremost. To me, augments have their uses, and the augment market is very, very lucrative. I ship parts to any buyer, and it's since become a recent addition to my shipping business. I really have no issues with augments. Money is money. It's like anything, really. Some people say augments are putting people out of work or are being used to harm others. Son, cars have been used as lethal weapons ever since they were invented. Have we gotten rid of them? No! Loss of jobs? It's creating a whole new market, just like the automobile did. Sure, I bet the horses complained when they had no more carts to pull, but last I heard, horses are still doing OK. I don't waste time worrying about the potential ill effects of something. How somebody uses something is not my business.

=====================

Tony: My childhood? Well it was... I guess kind of average. We were very privileged growing up, and never wanted for anything. As mentioned above, Victor kind of tormented me and Elio, but it taught me how to stand up for myself and give back just as good as I got. My pops was strict, but he had his warm moments too, being affectionate when we were kids, and kind of cooling down the older we got. My mother loved us all, and spoiled us whenever she could. I think I was my dad's favorite, cause he always seemed to give me the occasional extra treat. As Victor realized he couldn't bully me as effectively the older I got, he became a bit more distant, but that didn't stop us from playing together as kids. My fondest childhood memory is when I rode icebergs with Elio in the stream behind our house. That was an adventure and then some! We got so wet, and our mother was furious with us (kept saying we could've drowned), but eh, Elio and I had a blast! It was pretty hilarious too, since our jackets were SOAKED and full of water and we were bloated beyond belief, plus the water started to freeze when we crawled out of the stream. My first words to my brother were: "Elio! I can't move!" He pretty much told me the same thing, and we just kind of had to waddle our way back up the hill to the Heights, hahah.

Kojuuro:  Huh.  Honestly, I don't know what to make of them.  None of them have really given me any reason to distrust them.  Though I have a few issues with Emilena.  I know I promised her mother and father I'd protect her, but she's trouble.  If this were a PMC, I would have had her discharged a long time ago.  

Axel seems like a decent sort, dragged into a bad situation.  I'd rather not have him involved, but the way things are shaping up, I don't see much choice but to keep him around.  Maybe his skill with electronics will come in handy.

Lily is...well, I'm not sure what to say about her other then that she's an amazing woman.  Her spirit, her courage...she impresses me, and I intend to do everything in my power to keep her safe.

Soren and I, well, we haven't had much of a chance to interact, but he's a decent sort.  That exoskeleton of his is impressive, and he seems like he'll be a good guy to have in the squad.

Tony is a good kid.  I mean, for being the son of a big-time crime boss, he's an honest, reliable guy.  In a way, he reminds me of Adrian, somewhat.  

Anne seems unreliable, but if she can keep her head in the game and not get distracted by things, she'll probably be a reliable source of infiltration skill and black market knowledge.

Rose and Marita have proven themselves to be good-hearted people, though their lack of combat skill is likely to be a problem.  Once the Purifiers catch on to us, I hope that we'll be able to find a safe place for them to lay low.  

And that Doktor fellow...he unsettles me a little.  He's eerily focused and impersonal, so...who knows what he's thinking.

Adrian:  Honestly?  Not a chance.  I've always been a firm believer in doing the right thing, and I would never go so low as to become a crook.  Now, don't get me wrong, as a vigilante and such, I know full well the potential for my talents.  I mean, I've had to do some.... less-than-legal things to get my marks and such, but still.  I'd never become a criminal for a living.

Agent Lupis, why did you ask Soren for help instead of say, a mercenary from one of the many megacorps or hell, even a street thug or from organized crime rings?

Lupis: If I wanted people who could shoot a gun I'd use licensed police officers. (I must add that I've already done this, to absolutely no positive effect). Mr. Bhat and Ms. Echo bring a different set of skills; guile and a face Lily knows. Far too many of my fellow agents can't think of any solution that doesn't involve brute force; I try to think slightly further ahead.

Quote from: bushwacked,Jan 12 2014 on  02:44 PM
Agent Lupis - How does it make you feel to use people as unreliable as Emilena and Sanjay as part of your scheme?

Lupis: Far better than using reliable people like Agent Exstasis, who telegraph their thoughts and actions just by existing. If I can watch them for five minutes and predict every move they'll make in any situation, Mrs. North can do the same thing. She has no resources except her mind, yet she evaded an entire manhunt of trained officers for three days. I underestimated her at first. But I doubt even she can predict an unorthodox move of this nature.

Lupus, do you have plans for Tony and the business card?

Lupis: The offer was made completely on the spot, and a genuine offer to help him in the future. Despite his prior assault on me, the boy proved pleasantly amenable to compromise, plus for some reason Ms. North and her teammates appeared to be trusting him, so it's not a hard stretch to think of a way he could repay the favor. Plus, one of my best resources is my ever-expanding web of contacts. Even a fight for my life following a failed sting can be turned into an opportunity to network...

Agent Lupis: While I've hardly got time to watch films given my line of work, we are actually trained to keep a level and controlling voice at all times like Hugo Weaving from The Matrix. That film is a required reference guide in our bootcamp; half of being an agent is commanding authority, and if you play to public perception, the public tends to fall in line. He would therefore most accurately fit the question you've asked.

Emilena: I've only ever seen one film; Cloud Atlas. When I was young and lived in that orphanage, I once found a remote somebody had left out and watched the airplane edition of it on a television in the staff room. Nurse Noakes became something of a role model for me. You can even tell from my speech pattern, she was the closest thing I've had to a mother figure. I should one day find out what actress played her, she really changed my life.

Lily: Um...I haven't really had the time to watch very much, since waking up. My normal voice was quite feminine, but all these changes have done a number on my voice. My last lines probably sounded closer to the bad guy from Transformers than anything else. Sadly, that's the best answer I can give.

Well it took me awhile to run through in my head who I really sound like, and after just talking to myself for awhile and trying to find approximations, I've found I sound a lot like Leonardo DiCaprio.

Emilena: Counseling is for the weak-minded who wish to convince themselves of their own self-worth. I'm perfectly content with my body and my mind the way they are, at least as soon as I cure myself of the effects of that damnable neurocotic. Besides, my police work offered a very meager salary, and counselors love to milk their patents for as much money as they can finagle. If I hoped to be rich and live a long happy life, I picked the wrong line of work.

-------------------------

Lupis: An agent must work with the tools he's given. As my assigned resources have proven less than sufficient for recapturing Ms. North, I've decided to approach the problem from a less routine angle. Mr. Bhat had a very successful military career before going AWOL, and I suspect his abandonment was related to the fear of losing his augments, not any loss of loyalty. Provide him the proper reason to work for you, and I suspect he'll cooperate if the situation continues to favor him. I'm hoping to work with him again after this assignment.

Officer Echo, on the other hand, is frankly too stupid to see a bad deal in the long run. She's shown no loyalty to any group, but simultaneously doesn't have the mental capacity to actively betray anyone. I designed her assignment to be incredibly simple because she seems less capable of following complicated plans. Ultimately, I'd rather not involve her in this case, but I have evidence she has associated with the target, and I'd be foolish to not make use of such a resource. Rest assured, she will not be made an agent of the CIA even if she succeeds. I'll see to that personally if necessary.

((It's not that I don't remember, it's more I usually only pose a question if I can think of a good one))

Don Stracci: When I was a lad, dirt poor and playing in the streets everyday, I once wandered off to a more ritzier part of town. Don't remember why, but I think I was looking for a bigger score. I was sitting on the sidewalk, and this big, old, boat of a car comes around the corner. Huge thing... it could seat a lot of people, and it was, in a word, gorgeous. I had never seen anything like it in my life, and it was fast. Big powerful engine in the thing. The driver looked at me as he drove by, waved, and gunned it. And we're talking a car from the 1910s, boys. That thing could reach a top speed of 90 mph comfortably, and had 110 horsepower in a time when most cars had 30. I was impressed... mesmerized really, and I ran after it. Seeing this, the driver stopped, and stepped out to talk to me. He was a chauffeur for the car's owner, and he was more than happy to tell me all about it.

It was called a Crane-Simplex, and it was built by the redoubtable Henry M. Crane. Not sure if you heard of him, but he was an MIT grad with engineering prowess. He built these beautiful cars on a chassis basis only... meaning the buyer had to contract a custom coachbuilder to design the rest of his car... meaning... this baby, when it was finally finished, would cost somewhere in the neighborhood of TEN THOUSAND dollars. Ten grand. In the 1910s, $25 was considered a high weekly wage, so in order to own these things, you had to be stratospherically wealthy, practically God himself to own this car.

From that moment on, I knew it... I knew I was gonna have that kind of money someday. Why? Because it was power, and I didn't want my future kids growing up in a slum the way I had. I was going to be Crane-Simplex wealthy, and by god, I did it. It started not only my quest for self-enrichment, but also my love affair with classic cars. Here was someone driving around a model of pure perfection, even in modern day! Nothing could touch it! And nothing still can! I decided I would start a collection, one of the greatest collections in the world, in fact. While the Crane-Simplex was not the first classic I acquired, it did make the collection eventually. Ever since then I've been collecting them: Auburn, Brewster, Cadillac, Cord, Duesenberg, Franklin, Knox, LaSalle, Lincoln, Mercer, Packard, Peerless, Pierce-Arrow, Pope-Hartford, Oldsmobile, Reo, Rickenbacker, Rolls-Royce, Crane-Simplex, Stutz, Daimler, Maybach Zeppelin, AC, Jensen, Talbot-Lago, Avions Voisin, Bugatti, Allard, Ford, Marmon, Chrysler, Isotta Fraschini, Hispano-Suiza, Delahaye. Chances are, you can name it, I got it!

My family, my family hmmm... Victor thinks they're a waste of money, as does Caroline, but Caroline's a spoiled brat who wants "spending money" constantly. Paula thinks they're nice, Elio and Tony love them, but Tony shares my enthusiasm for 'em. That kid's something else. He also loved going for rides in them growing up. He was never into those new models they got nowadays. Who needs to hover when you can drive? There's something you can't beat about driving one of these things on the road today, and it's something I'll never give up, and I know Tony will forever appreciate.

Lupis: Don Stracci is a great man; one of the few I consider an equal. But I couldn't work for him; for one thing, that would mean I ceased to be his equal. In addition the CIA doesn't look kindly upon agents leaving, especially to go work for organized crime. Im part of some deep circles; they couldn't let me walk free without consequence. In addition, working for a mafia don wouldn't be big enough; at the end of the day his primary goal is to make money. I need more lofty objectives. To be honest, the government in its current form doesn't envision big enough for my liking either, but hopefully that'll change soon...

Put it this way, if I had enough creds to go through with that augmentation, I could rebuild my house and workshop better than before and have some cash to spare. Besides, I'm a little squeamish about surgery.

As for my exoskeleton, Lanthae doesn't have an exoskeleton registry nor is paperwork required to buy one. Granted, you'd better have a good stash of creds – or good mechanical skills – if you want one that'll let you throw cars off elevated highways.

Axel, if the time came where Lily completely loses her mind and tries to eat you, would you murder Lily?
Axel: Kill Lily?! I... I don't know. Honestly, probably not. Even if she was attacking me, trying to... hurt me, I wouldn't be able to forget the person she was, the woman who was just trying to get help. Eh... Hopefully, she'd realise I wouldn't be a very tasty meal. I'd probably be pretty bony.

Quote
Axel, if you could have any augmentation, what would it be?
Axel: Any augmentation, you say... Well, if I had to choose one, I'd have to choose those new augs that they're developing - the one that's fitted somewhere along your spine, and it, like, stops you from splatting on the floor if you fall from a massive height. I... dunno how it works, something about an electromagnetic lensing field... but jeez! You could, like, bungee jump without the bungee! How awesome would that be?!

Quote
Marcus, what's your stance on the older genetic augmentations?
Marcus: Make me just as sick. If you're going to rape your body with augments, at least have the guts to show everyone your choice.

Emilena: Gee, sure is nice to be popular...

Quote
Emilena, do you like Nairda?
To be honest, I liked him a lot more before I slept with him. I thought he understood I was being flooded with hormones from an unsolicited neurocotics patch applied to me during combat, I had very few other options available to even remotely approach an operational condition. But if course now he seems to expect me to joyously fling myself on him at every opportunity, but I abhor sexuality. That hasn't and will not change.
Quote
Emilena - Did you ever think you'd visit your parents? How does it feel to see them again?
God...of course I thought about visiting them at times in my life, but it never seemed worth it. They'd no doubt just piss me off and I had nothing to say to them. This visit is only occurring because I have run out of absolutely every other option. And to be honest, even now I'm regretting coming here.
Quote
emilrena- how did you escape styrikers torture chamber?
I don't know...I don't know. I eventually had to stop thinking about it, or else I'd still be lying in the forest bleeding to death. Once my head clears and my loathsome parents are out of my life, I hopefully will get a chance to investigate or collect my thoughts.

Tony: OK so I think I received three questions in my absence, and I'll get to answering those. The first was what would I do career wise if not inheriting my father's empire. Basically, I'd be the next James Bond. I mean come on! We haven't had a furry James Bond yet, and I think I could really step into that role and and give anthros a chance to see a James Bond with fur! Just think of how cool that would be!

Though in all seriousness, I don't know. The only thing that comes to mind are action roles similar to James Bond, so maybe a government special forces agent of some kind? It's really hard for me to say simply because I've never really had to think about it before.

Next question was what if I was told Axel was a spy for Agent Lupis. I'd feel like my brain would probably explode. He was trying to save her this whole time, and really fooled us all with his act! I might kill him but... I'm not sure I'd have the heart. Probably just sock him several times and ask him why? Then, maybe, if I could bring myself to... yeah, I'd probably deal with him. Can't show weakness now that I'm being considered for underboss, but it wouldn't be pleasant for me. *sighs*

Final question was, did I really think my plan would work. Well if you're talking about the current plan we have in motion, absolutely! I read about it once in a prison break, and it seems like a pretty feasible strategy to me. If it doesn't work... we're all screwed basically, so I tried to plan it out as best I could.

Don Stracci: Human organs. I don't really believe in organ harvesting, and won't deal in that stuff. Also, dead bodies. You'd be surprised there's actually a demand for 'em, but I won't deal in 'em. Other than that, sky's really the limit. While I'm not an actual "Amazon" type service, I'm not adverse to dealing in things that are in relatively high demand, legal or not.



Marcus: Tell me more about this "someone" that was once in your life. I'm fascinated.

Emilena: Establishment of authority is an important and basic step in getting things clear to suspects. Don't know if its the over-reliance on technology or just general stupidity that's dimmed their wits, but Augments need to be treated essentially like children or else they'll miss the subtle nuances of what you're trying to say. A low jab to the solar plexus would explain even to a baby exactly who is calling the shots in this interaction.

Quote
Marcus: Tell me more about this "someone" that was once in your life. I'm fascinated.
Marcus: This isn't something I like to talk about. But fine. The abridged version. When I was younger, I was... involved with a woman. Someone I'd known for a long time. We had a 2 year old son. He liked to watch basketball on TV, something about the ball bouncing around made him laugh. When I was away on duty, a group of augmented broke into our apartment and... did things to them, then killed them both. When I was discharged and I found out what had happened, I went looking for the ones responsible, and eventually the Purifiers helped me find them. That's all there is to it.

Soren: Me, forgive Emilena? You have got to be kidding me!

Anne: Ever since I was a little filly, I wanted to be a unicorn. When I was born in the early 2000s, cybernetics were incredibly crude. In high school, all the cool kids had body mods – some went for brands, some went for piercings some went for tats, some even went for implants – were the "in" thing. Of course, my mom wouldn't let me get a horn implant. And they aren't exactly cheap. Once I finished grad school and got a job as an oil farmer, I could finally save up enough for a cosmetic horn implant. Of course, augmentations at this time were now commonplace. And I chose a radio telepathy implant partly I can build stashes that won't open unless I command it to and I always have a radio on hand.

Lily: Oh gosh...I honestly don't want to think about it...not that I can't answer the question, there are some obvious ways to go about that...but I'm pretty sure everyone knows that's not going to happen. I don't really want to think about what could have been...

Nairda: Marriage of course! You know its impossible for two beings to share romantic attraction without being destined for a lifetime of wedded bliss and companionship~! We'll live happily ever after, unless one of us dies and then the survivor is a shriveled and depressed shadow of their former selves who never gets over it and never stops talking about their true love even when everyone else has forgotten about them~!

Tony: Oh that's kind of a simple story. You see... my dad just wasn't taking me seriously. He said I needed to grow up constantly. He made me drive his delivery trucks... bo-ring! I wanted more! I wanted to mean something to him! But everything I tried, he told me I wasn't ready yet. So I decided the hell with it. I was gonna prove to him I was ready by joining the toughest bunch I could think of... the Purifiers. I was really starting to get scared by augments and how they could take away jobs, and I was afraid it'd run rampant and out of control. So I joined the Purifiers to prove to my dad I could be tough, and because I didn't like augments... and I'm still getting over that fact too. Guess I got myself in a little too deep though, huh?

Tony: You think it's out of necessity? Well... OK yeah maybe it was at first but... I really feel for Axel, and his plight... and I'm coming to respect him a lot more now. He's someone I'd like to call friend. I would love to help them all once I become don of my family. I mean they helped me... and didn't kill me either, so I owe them a lot. Any service I can provide... I'd do it. I guess there's that old saying from Henry V: "He who sheds his blood with me, shall be my brother." We've... yeah, kind of shed blood together. It's how it feels at least. I want Axel and Lily to just live happily together... and for us to get to the bottom of whatever's ailing Lily. He's suffered through a lot... and I just kind of want that to be over.



Marcus: So you blame the augments for what they did to your wife. Do you ever consider not all augments are like that? Or is the burning hatred too great?

marita: a good question. ' i suppose the best answer would be how i got so good at computers. lots of spare time and a need to experiments in terms of finding out stuff, and given how hopelessly corrupt this city is, you dont get very far by always being on the up and up. a lot of people hack and steal in order to get by, i should know.

 Rose: that might be the most loaded question you could ask me. i would SO want to take it and use it, and i'd likely blow through it in a matter of days. BUT that would make detox harder, and i want my newly reformed relationship with Marita to work taking and using it, after all the money and goodwill i've blown through while hooked on it, i.. just couldnt do it.

There... there was something else though. I mean, back in the infirmary, she seemed petrified of him. I don't know what, but something must have happened in the truck when they were alone... Well, whatever it was, there's no way in hell I'd let him be alone with her now.

Marcus: So you blame the augments for what they did to your wife. Do you ever consider not all augments are like that? Or is the burning hatred too great?
Marcus: It opened my eyes. When you change yourself like that, give yourself a leg up over the rest of the world, of course you'd look down on everyone else. Why wouldn't you? To them, the pure are just one step up from cattle, something less than themselves that they can use to get ahead. What happened to my family... it'd be easy for that to happen again, and again to other people. The augmented are dangerous. We have to stand against them.

Nairda: But that's the other thing about me (and characters written by my original author)! Despite never shutting up about sexuality and wanting to do hundred-page long sex scenes, we always admit on our first night with the girl that we're virgins, so that the scene can have that much more impact! It doesn't have to make sense!

Emilena: I damn well tried that the first time we met...Drugged and wounded, I crawled over to the sleazy snake and asked him to work with me to safely escape the Electric Sheep. He took one look at my state and abandoned me to my fate. Had I any interest in working with him after that, it was dashed when he proved to be complete idiot after Lupis recruited us (and presumably before, considering the Purifiers captured him). I'm hardly surprised his words were the ones that spelled my doom in that mansion.

Lupis: I am a man of my word. Had Axel cooperated in full on what honestly was my best guess at saving Ms. North's life, I would have seen to it that both of them get an opportunity to live away from the effect radius of this ordeal. The era of having people always 'silenced' is gone; nowadays we have more advanced methods for removing willing participants from the equation. A memory wipe of the past few days would be mandatory, and additional relocation from the city would be preferred, but their lives could have been theirs to live. And for the record, its certainly not my fault that offer broke down.

Nairda: ...Something incredibly unwilling and not my fault of course......you see, now that its quite clear that Emilena won't sleep with me unless I despise Augments, my backstory conveniently can adjust itself so that these Augments were all medically necessary and not my choice at all. Yes, the retractable wrist blades, subdermal armor, reflexive brain-controlled auto-aim and reinforced force-dampening ankles were all needed to heal my unexplained past wounds...I despise what I've become and totally didn't choose this lifestyle, not counting all the time I've spent training under an Augmented super-soldier, declaring Purifiers to be my arch-enemies and fighting Robin Hood-style to defend Augments targeted by hate crimes...

It was now or never... I snatched it up, and sprinted out of the front door of the 7/11 shop. The monster bag of sweets was mine! I was 10 years old. Apart from that, uh... no, I don't think so, unless you count the state of my apartment. By the way, I ate those sweets too quick and got sick, so... no crime goes unpunished, I guess?

The alarms were tripped early, tipping off Lupis, and basically wrecking everything from the start. After that it was just a snowball rolling down a mountain. Me being consistently ignored has led us to this current point I think. I can't speak for Axel and Lily however, as that situation was totally beyond my control. That was just the icing on the cake to this disaster. Also, Rhaegson being extra careful didn't help matters. I instead had to improvise, but things were still generally going according to plan up till the alarms went off.

Emilena: Me? Commit a crime? I am an officer of the law. I don't break the law, I enforce it!

Nairda: You did burn down an orphanage.

Emilena: I evacuated it first! That hardly counts!...though to answer Pterano's question, that was probably the moment that started this downward spiral, ultimately leading to the loss of my badge and eventually driving me to the arms of my loathful parents. I didn't think the repercussions through well enough, I wanted only to destroy the one place with records indicating my Augment heritage. Though somehow Nairda knew, for reasons he never fully explained...

Soren: Do you know anyone who is bisexual?

Marita: If you were walking down a lonesome country road, and encountered a snake with its coils wrapped around a bird's neck, said bird was gasping for breath and the snake was warning you away with a hiss and a glare, what would you do?

marita ' well i'd try and find a way to free the bird, of course. it would depend on whether i had  anything on me to scare the snake away. since hes squeezing the life out of said bird, time is of the essence. probably grab a rock and throw it at the snakes head, to try and make t lose its grip.. of course that likely would make it come after me..

Rhaegson: How did you get to be leader of the Purifiers?
Rhaegson: By being good at manipulating people... and let me tell you, there's no emotion as easy to manipulate as hate. Want to know a secret? I don't really care about augments. I mean sure, it's a little weird... but hey, who am I to judge? That being said, I'd noticed that there were a lot of people out there that really don't like 'em, and all they needed was a push in the right direction. And once that was done... well, let's just say that having your own private army gives you a lot of possibilities.

Don Stracci: Bak Long Triads? Competitors. Chinese think they can muscle in on our business... ain't gonna happen. So long as they stay in their turf, I'm fine with 'em. I've never had a solid business transaction with them yet, nor do I really plan to in the future.

Don Stracci: The four families? The Cuneos are the ones I'm closest to, them and the Luccheses. Ottilio and I get on fairly well, and he's got a large family and large operation. Runs a large "milk" procession plant upstate. He'll support my attack on the Purifiers, no problem. Hell they all will really, as it represents a clear and present danger. The Luccheses are the oldest and most powerful, and their don's always out to keep the peace between all of us, if he can. He uses his not inconsiderable influence to ensure we all generally play nice. Emilio Barzini is an ambitious don, and head of one of the more brutal families. None of us trust him much, and we hardly do business with each other but... he can at least be relied upon to close ranks with us for this upcoming attack. Finally, there's that little pimp, Philip Genovese. The Genoveses are the youngest family in terms of existence, and are into all the vice businesses you can think of. Drugs, prostitution, gambling, etc. Nobody really cares for 'em much, but they're there all the same.

Vergil: Um... well... I haven't been around more than a day with these guys. Axel is the one I know the best, and seems driven by one thing: Lily, or that creature I saw in the labs. He cares for her a great deal, and while I can't blame him for this, I also see he's loyal to his friends... except now he's gone missing, and it's been reported he simply left... so maybe his loyalty isn't as great as I initially thought. The three canines I haven't had the chance to observe much of, and that... wolf was unconscious for most of this, and now that his speech patterns are all screwed up, I can't really take him seriously. The human who joined us seems a bit hot-headed, but another loyal sort. Is it just me, or do I sense some sexual tension between Tony and Anne? Maybe I'm just seeing things that aren't there, but that's kind of an impression I got. Anyway, the don's son is an interesting figure, if a little luckless at present. Certainly seems to have a good head on his shoulders. Anne would get along with uh... what did Don Stracci say? The Genoveses? Think that's about all I got for now.

Turns out my seatbelt was... uh, well, it sucked and broke, and I kind of went straight through the windscreen. I can't remember what happened after, but it turns out eyes and broken glass don't go together too well. My graceful flight through the air stopped when my forearms apparently got pinned between two pieces of crushed metal and popped off like the wings of a fly. Next thing I knew, I was waking up in the hospital with these augments, feeling like crap. Still, I passed my driving test so... I, ah, guess it wasn't all bad?

Emilena: You've just spent a huge night partying, and wake up with no memory of it at all. About a month later, you find out you're pregnant. You suspect Nairda might be the father. What do you do?

Emilena: First of all, considering my body tore through puberty in a little under an hour within a growth acceleration pod, it'd be a miracle if I were capable of successfully fertilizing an egg. I don't even menstruate.

But if it still somehow happened, and the little bitch managed to survive to childbirth, I'd almost definitely give it up for adoption, like my parents did to me. I'd leave it Nairda's picture and a DNA sample so that when it grew old enough to want to murder its progenitors, it has a leg up on succeeding in his case.

Quote
Nairda, why are you so intent on hooking up with Emilena?

Nairda: She's the love of my life! A fragile flower blooming only for me! Sometimes I feel like I was put on this Earth specifically for hooking up with Emilena and no other person! I've heard Kojurro thinks similarly about Lily.

Axel: Well... I don't know if trust is the right word, exactly. I mean, Emilena... she has some serious problems. But, after the things she told me, I... do think she genuinely wants to help Lily. I can't think of any reason why she'd be lying, either. I mean, Lupis already has Lily. And Emilena got, you know... kind of 'poofed' away from us, so she could have just stayed away.

Plus, her plan... it's pretty much the only way to help Lily. I mean, with the way her body's changing... my hands are kind of tied. I just hope to hell this works out.

Rhaegson, isn't killing all the Augments in Lanthae a bit...extreme?

Emilena: I find it preferable to working with almost everyone else in the group. Lily is a basketcase who wastes far too much time whining about herself, Mr. Almaya is a transparently unsubtle deadweight who incorrectly considers himself a leader and a tactician, Nairda takes his sexual status with me for granted and never focuses on the mission, and I can't even remember the names of the four girls who keep following along behind the others; I don't think they've ever done a thing to actually help. Axel has something to fight for, is willing to fight for it, and most importantly has proven to be incredibly malleable and naive. I can work with someone like that.

Sure, I've been helping the group out, but I don't think I've had anything phenomenally defining for me in all honesty. I mean I managed to get myself shot and nearly killed but... maybe it'll be my decision to get rid of the Purifiers as quickly as possible by assaulting their base. That one hasn't been worked out just yet, though.

Tony: Well I did let her know I kind of wanted her while under the influence of painkillers, but as you saw, that didn't pan out.

Vergil: Well, I learned that I was most likely a soldier of some kind serving in the Scorched Earth War under a powerful general who was one of the heroes of the war. He was a species similar to mine, but is red with golden eyes instead of white with orange eyes like I am. He also has feathers all down his backside, whereas mine are only just on my head. So anyway, I learned that this general later became a traitor after helping to end the war, and started accumulating his own power, bringing terror to the world with his impressive strategies and unconventional tactics. However, he was betrayed by his second-in-command, an individual named Kalis, who fired on his flagship and killed him. Somehow... I remember being on the bridge of that ship as it took the fire. I'm not sure how or why... or what happened... but I recall seeing the warlord battling with a female before the explosions tore the ship apart. I'm not sure how I survived... and how I got into that tank. I did learn that Kalis inherited his former superior's fleet and forces, and is still considered one of the most dangerous and powerful warlords on the planet. That's about all I know.

Don Stracci: Regroup. This unexpected development has somewhat played in our favor in terms of wiping out the Purifiers, but the city itself is being devastated, and it's hard to run your empire from a ruined city. Gotta see to my family's safety and then the safety of my assets, and I'll see what we can do from there.

Vergil: Oh yes... some memories are indeed flooding back. I know I've seen Kalis in my past, and his fleet but... something's wrong about it too. It's almost like I'm in two places at once... the memories are contradicting each other. I'm positive I served in part of the world's government's military forces, but then why am I picturing Kalis and his former superior so clearly in my mind? Did I... join their cause when they defected and turned rogue? I need to get more answers on this, as right now, my memories are all a confusing jumble.



Soren, how do you plan to deal with the new crisis?

Broadstreet, aren't you a LITTLE more concerned about the massive fleet that's pulverizing your city than you are about the Purifiers?

I've begrudgingly developed something of an understanding on how certain tactical Augments can be beneficial to my goals and why some may choose such a lifestyle. But I wouldn't say that the experience of losing them has been a huge factor.

Lily: I...I can't answer that question this quickly. You have to understand, I...it never even occurred to me there could be a chance like this, to be normal again. I can't even believe it when I think about it. I just want some time to be alone with Axel and think. I cant hope to collect my thoughts until then.

Marcus: If the few of us who survived the attack on the base manage to regroup with our brothers who lived through the aerial attack on the city, then yes. You can't destroy the Purifiers. Though how long it will take to reach sufficient strength again, I couldn't say for the moment. I suspect it will take a considerable period of time.

Hardly anything but petty crime and minor drug runs in this damn city, unless you want to sign your own death warrant and jump in with the Triads. I've been forced to go make some crime because of how little of it I could find to fight.

Stripetail" yes i have dealt with a number of magical creatures who have very little love for non-magical creatures. Mertavius, for example, despises nonmagicals, considers them utterly beneath him, and undeserving of existence. I naturally, vehementy disagree with him on that matter, and many others besides, its why we have been at cross purposes as long as we have.  as for what they have made me feel, well i've ended up fighting usually with them, as i disagree with their treatment of nonmagicals. i have come to have great respect for nonmagicals, like the pelvanida group, they can hold their own in a fight. but this quest is going to test them as nothing before it has.

I suppose I'll have to go with... the yellow one. Flutteryby or Fluttershy, whatever her name is. The agent in me can see a ruthless, effective killer under her nervous exterior.

Foley: The only real ones I got a chance to talk to were the white gecko and the two humans. The gecko seems to have a bit of a temper, even worse than Emilena which I never thought I'd say. The human who died didn't stick around long enough for me to pass judgment, but really the only one I liked was the quiet, tall one. That man had honor. Seriously, he had a woman at his mercy, and all his teammates were urging him to kill and torture her, and what does he do? A blow to her modesty, showing whose in charge, and that's that. He earned my respect.

Axel, exactly how do you know what 2,5-dimethoxy-4-bromophenethylamine tastes like?
Axel: Well, back when I was a young rodent, before I became the strapping alpha male you see before you today.... ahem... I thought I'd try going to a club. You know, to meet people. Maybe stop being such a basement dweller. It was going well, nobody'd run away from me... but then someone by the bar offered me a this small tablet thing, and... well, I thought it was a mint. So I popped it, thinking I'd get a rush of minty fresh breath, but ah... I got a whole different kind of rush. The next thing I know, I'm in the back of a squad car, dressed in a weird pirate costume. I still have no idea where I got that from. After that, I, ah... kind of stopped going to clubs. And I went right back into my basement.

They are a means to an end until I can more firmly establish myself in either the criminal or police sector with the money I've earned. Though on second thought I do actually like Rio.

I do miss Corona though.

Rose: I still cant believe I shot and killed that guy, it's going to take awhile before I'm fully at peace with what I did. as for missing Lanthae, no. I don't miss the Black Sheep, I don't miss being in the grips of biproxytol and I don't miss having to show my goods to all and sundry for 10 credits an hour.

Triste: What's your greatest fear?
Triste: My greatest fear... I'd say it'd probably be growing older and losing the capabilities to take care of myself. Whenever I see an aged person needing help to walk, or feed themselves, or forgetting where they left their goddamn car keys... Christ, it's a fate worse than death. People in my line of work normally don't live long enough for that to be a problem, and I suppose that's a comfort, but the thought that maybe that could be me someday? It really troubles me.

Quote
Axel, same question. Do you miss Lanthae?
Axel: You know, in a weird way... yeah. I kind of do. I mean, sure, the city was a dump. And if you wen out late at night to buy something you'd probably be mugged or, you know... worse before you could take 10 steps. And it had a weird smell. But it had been my home for 21 years. It's where I grew up, where I went to school. Ah... not that I really had many friends at school, but still. Those were pretty good times.

Marie; Even though I worked at a strip club, i was not a stripper. I saw how bad the girls were paid and how little money it took to rob them of their clothes and self-respect. so the answer is, I wouldn't do it, for any price. The only ones I'm showing these assets to, are those whom I am in a committed relationship with.

 Marita:Well, We are going to die, being mortal, but as for who goes first in passing? Well if I went first I would hope I will have set aside enough for Rose and Marie to live on, and that there would be no regrets on my part or theirs. Ideally we would all die of very old age, and  close together so that we are reunited in eternity, the order really doesn't matter.

But, ah... well, there's this neighbour, Ms. Kercher, who keeps coming around for dinner. Nice lady, but... holy crap, she can keep talking, and talking. And talking. You get the picture. Even when dinner's done, finished, she won't... you know, leave. She'll just keep going on about her new glasses, or the brand of window cleaner she uses. One day, Lily found that when she touched her, she could actually force our neighbour to start getting sleepy, thus purging her from our house - if there's one thing Ms. Kercher likes more than window cleaner, it's beauty sleep. I have no idea how Lily does it... ah, something about changing chemical levels in the brain?

Oh, and there is that one thing Lily does to make things more exciting when we... ah. Actually, maybe I'll stop right there.

Flora: I haven't exactly lived a lifestyle that would inspire anyone to ride along. I've always loved cars. When I was young I used to sit by the freeway, watch them drive past me and wonder about how they worked and how people got them. But I was always too poor to get one myself, so I stole them. The cops couldn't catch me because I never did it for the money...I'd just break into a random car, drive it as far as I could in no particular direction until it ran out of gas, then I'd steal another. The first two people I ever really got to know was this mangy fox couple that needed to hitchhike into Cornova. That was how I met Emilena and Nairda!

Marita, Rose, and Marie: If you could each ask one other character a question and get an honest answer guaranteed, what question would you each ask, and to whom?
Title: Ask the Characters
Post by: Nick22 on August 30, 2014, 01:47:45 AM
Rose: my question would be to Marita: why did you come back for me?. I was busted for drugs, ended up selling my dignity and body for credits at a dumpy joint, we had to  break off our relationship because i was so doped up i would spend days not doing anything of importance. heck that fox confiscated all my possessions when she busted me ' including a 'intimate tape ' we made together after i suggested it to you. i've banged i dont know how many guys, and more than a few girls, just to scrape together a living.

Marita: Because you were my girlfriend, and you meant a lot to me. It was heartbreaking when I found out how far you had fallen.Course, Rescuing you was not entirely my doing, as that very same fox, held, um,'certain evidence' over my head as a means to get my assistance  on a police case. if I didnt cooperate, well  we'd likely both have spent long years in  Lanthae Federal Prison, wasting away in 8 by 12 cells with just a cot, with barred windows and maybe  a wall poster to look at. So I cooperated, and flushed you out of there. and in the Process we ran into Marie. truthfully I thought she was cute the moment she served me a drink, but I was there on business, not pleasure. You've shown a lot of inner strength since then Rose. Going through Biproxytol Detox is not easy, not cheap, and its easy to relapse, the drug is that addictive. The Fact you and I survived the spiked drinks, and you didnt try to find some biproxytol afterwards shows your resiliency .  A lot of folks would have given in after such an experience , and would have gone straight back to shoveling the stuff up their nose or injecting it into their arms. But you didnt, and I;m proud of you. Mine would be to Marie; What drives you?

Marie;  Not an easy question to answer. Well perhaps the desire for something more. I've never really had jobs that would be considered great. Truth be told the Black Sheep was humiliating for everyone who worked there, except the owners who made money coming and going, whether it was skimping on the clothes, nickel and dimeing you on the paychecks, ignoring overtime laws, you name it. the casino pays me better but not great, the guys i deal to, aren't known for tipping well, and then there the odd attempt at  a movie-plot heist. I haven't seen my folks in years, they lived in a city called Gregorus, and sent me to Lanthae to live with a relative when i was very young, i think it was because they couldn't afford to take care of me. once i turned 18, i was sent out to make a living, did odd jobs here and there and ended up as a waitress at the Sheep. Thats where i met Rose and was her co-worker for, i think 2 years. if not for Maritas intervention, i think she would have continued to decline until she died either onstage or backstage from the drugs finally being too much. while I didn't intend at first to come along, with the Sheep destroyed and me now jobless, i decided to to tag along, with nothing better going on. i have since found a home  with Rose and Marita and I hope some day to reunite with my folks. My question is for Rose; How are you with Money?

Rose: I save every way I can. when i go out for pizza I always go to the Double Slices because they accept coupons, even slightly expired ones, and give you a free salad bar and refills. i try and scrimp and save everywhere I can, Unlike  someone in our household, who seems to think money is no object at all. i bet that if Marita was given a list at the  supermarket, she'd pay three times more for food than I would, since I always try to limit myself to the essentials and go for the things on sale. comes with the territory of living on just a few credits a week. i''m always looking for ways to save money, whether its turning down the temperature a few degrees, or putting the tv on a timer. and then there's the change in the street. i always pick them up,  I've got jars of them in my closet. never took the time to count through them, never had the time really.

Post by: Nick22 on September 04, 2014, 08:10:25 PM
Rose; Well the encounter with the Purifiers forced me to leave the city I grew up in, and hardened me against fanatics like them. In a sense I was caught up in their effort to destroy Lanthae, which cost countless lives and was a failure on their part. Still they are not the only lunatics out there, theres always some report or other about some new freak show. I just wish life was simpler at times. Before I didnt know they existed, or cared that they existed. Now, I do, and prison is too soft for them.

Marita: the Purifiers upended my life with their little scheme. I was just a regular girl one minute, the next I'm pulled into this vast clusterfrick  thanks  to a certain fox  - cough Emilena cough.  I've found that i despise fanatics of any stripe, those who believe its their way or the highway, and any  part i can play to see them stopped, i'll be glad to do it.

marie: Well the purifiers revealed themselves to be anarchists and nihilists, who'd rather destroy the world then rule over the ruins. i guess, much like the other girls, it forced me to realize that there is true evil in this world, and it has to be confronted. i was just an ordinary 9-5 worker  when my workplace gets destrotyed and i'm forced to tag along as we tried to stop the purifiers from taking over. well in one sense we did, in another we didnt as it took the city getting level to stop them, and we had to flee.

Nairda: If you mean the second time, I hardly had a choice; I was broke and unconscious when y'all brought me to him. And the first time wasn't my idea! Kojurro controlled the bank account during my training years, and he refused to pay for things on principle. He told me that Jiang was a pushover who would no doubt die in a few years when a robotic thyroid gland exploded on his operating table. Boy was he wrong; Jiang has proven to be one of the most ruthless, uncompromising and dangerous debt collectors I've ever encountered!

Emilena: No. If a member of my gang is going to turn their back on all of us and walk away selfishly, we're better off without them. We are a team and I expect the members to behave like teammates! Not to mention we all just risked our lives trying to find him and he decides he'd rather set us all up to get battered and drowned for his own sick amusement! I don't know what his problem is right now, but until he fixes it I want him as far away from my men as possible.

Axel, has your encounter with the Purifiers changed you?
Axel: Ah... yeah. Yeah, I guess it did. I mean, before... you know, everything happened, I'd never been in a fight or anything like that. Even thinking about violence made me feel kinda... queasy. But after I met Lily... after going through everything to get her back and keep her safe, I learned that I can't be that guy anymore. If I'm going to protect the ones I care about, I can't afford to take things lying down. I need to step up and do everything I can to make sure they're safe, even if it means getting my hands, ah... dirty. And even if it means getting knocked on my ass again and again.

That being said... I know I tried to hide it behind stupid jokes, but the stuff that happened six months ago, it... it really shook me up. Bad. For weeks afterwards, I'd start shaking out of nowhere, get nauseous... Shit, sometimes I couldn't sleep. The nightmares... The people I'd killed, the guy I'd sliced open... They were Purifiers, they were trying to kill us, they deserved it and it needed to be done. But... jesus, that doesn't mean I had to enjoy it. Even now it comes back to me sometimes. At least I'm lucky enough that Lily's always been there to help me.

Triste: If you had to sacrifice one member of the team so the rest could live, who would you pick?
Triste: Who to sacrifice? Well, that shouldn't be too hard to figure out - I just need to look at what each of them can contribute, and who's useful.

I'll get this out of the way with now - no, unless there's absolutely no alternative, I wouldn't sacrifice myself. I've always found living to be a crucial part of carrying out my mission. Vergil's obviously out of the question. Mr Almaya seems to be somewhat skilled with technology, as are Ms Jones and Mr Whent. And while I wouldn't be too confident in them covering me during a confrontation, they've shown that at least they can get the job done at a pinch. Ms North is an interesting one. Details of what happened to her shortly before the attack on Lanthae are... sketchy, to say the least. But whatever happened, it appears she's been left with an impressive ability. I saw what she did with that rough-looking woman's leg wound just after the Stracci boy's death. A healing ability like that could come in very useful.

As for the last two... The two women who appear to be Ms Jones' lovers. Rose and Marie. I can't think of any particular area they've excelled in, so it'd probably have to be one of them. I'm assuming that'd be a problem for Ms Jones, but maybe she'd be able to use her head. Which one would it be? Probably Rose. I don't like that colour.

Doctor Jiang - I may be after creds but I have enough sense to know when to run. That's how Doctor Sun-Yi died; argued over a fee for security guard with the Hung Len Giao Fa triads. They found him ó or what was left of him ó in a vertical farm's catfish tank. The guy's a brilliant cyberneticist but other than that, he's a fan tung.

Right now, I'm in Corona and doing the same business. It's much harder owing to the stricter enforcement of Cy.D licensing and the fact that being an Lanthaeni is stigmatized. Right now, I'm actually considering opening a legit cybernetics clinic in Corona.

(OOC - Transliterations are very off but here's what the terms Doctor Jiang is saying mean:

"fan tung" is Cantonese for rice bucket. It's also a Cantonese slang that roughly means dumbass.

"Hung len giao fa" is Cantonese for "red lotus flower" or more loosely, "red lotus". "Len giao" is more commonly used to refer to the lotus root.)

Soren: Yeah, I kind of am. I'm somewhat ashamed to admit that I've began seeing nearly everyone I pass on the street as a potential Purifier ó and thinking how best to kill them right then and thera. And from what some of my other family members say, I seem to lose my temper a lot more often. There's also the fact that Anne's commenting that she sometimes hears cursing and screaming coming from my room.

Axel: Are you kidding me? I still feel like crap... my stomach feels like somebody's using it as a trampoline, and my head feels like someone's using it to test out a set of hammers. I, ah, guess it could be worse though. I mean, the doctors at the infirmary probably gave us some treatment to keep the worst of it away for now. Once whatever they gave me wears off... ah, that'll be fun.

Lily - How are you feeling from the biproxytol?

Soren - Do you feel bad that you might have just killed a bunch of innocent workers by creating that explosion?

Soren: Sort of. Those workers were trying to get by and they ended up working for a shitty company. But at the same time, they knew what they were getting into when they signed up to work for Voltaic Station.

Yeah, I knew what I did was a really dickish thing to do, but we needed some way to tie up the staff aboard the station.

Axel, if it came down to it, could you perform a potentially harmful act of sabotage like Soren did?

Lily, if you could become an Augment, would you do so?

Lily: In all honesty...probably not. All I've ever wanted to be is normal, and God has blessed me far more than I deserve giving me a fully-functioning human body. I don't feel any need to change what I already have. Plus I tend to focus more on enhancing my mind, what with the psionic powers and all.

Lily - How are you feeling from the biproxytol?

Lily: I'm willing to bet I've had the easiest time of us all recovering from that, since I've got my passive health recovery. But it has definitely affected my judgment and cognitive abilities far more than I'd like...I've made some terrible decisions on Voltaic, jumped to ludicrous conclusions, and in one case it even led to me killing those guards. I'd like to believe that if I were fully in control of my cognitive functions, I would have found a way to cooperate with the guards and let us all go home alive...

Marie, if you had to sacrifice one member of the team  so the rest may live,who would you pick? (I really like this question!)

Soren, you consider Rio a member of the team? How did his brief interaction with all of you entitle him to such kinship?

Axel, if you could sleep with anyone consequence-free for one night, who would you pick? (Assume Lily knows and is okay with it)

Axel: Yeah. I mean, ah... I wouldn't like it. And I'd try to find another way of doing things before I... you know, set a bomb or screw something else up. I don't like the thought that other people died because of me, but if it's between them and the group... then the answer's obvious for me.

It's hard to think of them as anything other than friends, but if I had to choose and there were no consequences... I guess I'd go with Rose. I mean, during the months I've known her, I get the idea that she knows some decent tricks in the bedroom. And she must've learned some things from her old job...

Marie: Trieste. I dont think she trusts anyone in the group that much outside of maybe Vergil, and given that she hasn't really done anything to be friendly to any of us, if I was forced to pick someone to sacrifice, it would be her.  everyone else, but especially Rose or Marita, I'd have a hard time sacrificing.
 Rose; Quite often. Lets just say I've seen my fair share of female breasts and male 'pluggers'. The worst thing about all that degrading stuff was not just the bad pay and minimum tips but that I was drugged out 90% of the time. in that line of work you cant even ENJOY doing it, with the encounters being so brief. its 50 credits down, bounce around the room, and then they leave for the next ' customer'. so glad i dont do that anymore.

Triste: Rate the members of the team on a scale of 1-5, where 5 is "would happily bang," and 1 is "would never willingly bang under any circumstances."
Triste: If it got me any closer to accomplishing part of my mission, I'd sleep with any of them. But let's say this was purely because I wanted to... bang them. Soren, I'd give a... 3 out of 5. He's shown he can be resourceful, which I've always appreciated in a man. And he looks like he works out, which just speak to the inner girl in me. Pity he's got the conversational skills of a dish cloth, but hey - we're just talking about screwing here, so that doesn't matter.

The women in the team - Lily, Marita and the others - I'd have to give a 1 to. Like I said, if it was to get something done, I would. But normally, I don't go that way.

Axel's a 2. Maybe in a really dark room... but he's built like an overly tall matchstick, he looks like he'd break in half if things got too rough, and his eyes are too close together. And, on another point, why does he take so long to get to the point when he talks? Like... ah... you know... just say what you want to say, we don't have all day.

Vergil... he's a 4, and I'm not proud of saying it. Feeling that way about him - it's wrong. It's dangerous. But when I look at him, when I look into his eyes, I just get this feeling deep inside. It's sickening... and not just because he needs to get over his damn emotional problems.

-----------------------------------------------

Marita - Same question to you. How would you rate the members of the team, from 1 = No way to 5 = Let's get it on

Marita: Well I'd be willing to sleep with most of the members of the team if i was given the opportunity to. Starting with 5 (the top spot) and Going Downward, I'd have to Say Rose, Marie Lily are 5s the first two for obvious reasons because I'm in active relationships with them, and I think Lily would be very good in bed.
4s Axel Vergil and Soren  while I prefer girls I wouldnt mind trying out the guys. Like I said, if given the choice I'd try just about anybody.
 The only 1 I would give is Trieste. Truthfully I dont think she has given me much reason to respect her and I dont think she respects me. If i'm going to take someone into my bed there's needs to be a certain level of respect and desire on my part and their part. i could stomach her if this was necessary to complete a mission, but frankly it would have to be the 'proverbial' do it or the world ends' kinda thing.

Soren: Not like that! Rio's not a part of the team like everyone else is. He's just an...asset.

About joining the team? I didn't expect all this insanity to occur. Okay, I kind of regret joining because Vergil and Triste have been treating me like shit. But hey, life ain't fucking fair.

About who would I bone? Let's see...

Axel...Uh no! My polarity ain't set up for that! Same goes for Vergil applies but more. Because he's prick.

Triste, 1 out of 5. She's the kind of woman who'll slice your cock off if you fail to satisify her. Besides, she's a total fuckwad.

Anne, 2 out of 5. She's got this exotic beauty with her unicorn horn and she's toned and muscular and she's really sweet. But I'm afraid she'll accidentally break my spine or stab me with her horn when we go at it in the sack.

Lily, 0 out of 5. Really, sleeping with my best friend's wife!? Dick move.

Marie and  Marita, 3 out of 5. They're my roommates and I like them a lot but I don't think I'm ready to take it to the next level.

Rose, 2 out of 5. She's really nice and I'm sure she's completely wild in bed...but at the same time, knowing her past of severe biproxytol use, I'm kind of reluctant to sleep with her...that shit stays in your body for decades.

I can get all the nutrition I need through beans and roots, and then I don't have to feel responsible for the animals who die.

Marita; Seafood, by far over seal meat.. as for whether I'd sleep with a male or someone like Flora. I'd go with Flora. You'd get the best of both worlds from an endowed female, and I prefer females anyway.
Rose; I like Seafood, never had seal meat. as for males or "endowed females. I've "had both' as part of my former job as a stripper, and on balance the endowed females were nicer and tipped better, the guys just wanted a quick lay.so I'd lean female
 Marie; i like seafood better than seal meat. as for whether I'd rather bang a male or an endowed female, well assuming they were both nice, i'd go with the girl.

Hania, why do you have a hatred of meat-eaters? You're a Jaguar.

Hania: Don't you pull that on me! It's not my fault I was born into this atrocious perpetual slaughter machine! I eat only artificial meat and I'm proud of it! They grow my meat in large vats containing nothing but brainless flesh and a circulatory system. It's bland, chewy and depressing, but I can eat it knowing I'm not the horrible monster the rest of you sick animals are! My body is clean and all-natural, no murder flesh or cyborg implants sully its perfect form. Even the Purifiers were unworthy and could not handle my fervent enlightenment! So it's no surprise you cannot either.

Hania: Oh, just because you only eat seafood you think that you're not part of the problem, huh? Are sea creatures not animals in your mind or something? Who cares that fish are stabbed through the face with hooks, dragged into non-breathable atmosphere, suffocated, beheaded, and stripped into bite-sized morsels for assholes like you to not feel hungry for an hour. That callous murdering of one of God's creatures sure was worth you getting some munchies on your lunch break, huh?

Emilena: I'd never admit this in anything but a non-canon interview but... the incident that got me evicted from the orphanage when I was seven. That was what compelled me to train with the police and hone my body to the best of my abilities, because I never wanted to feel that frightened and helpless again. However, I'm not interested in recounting the specifics.

Axel: Uh... this might sound weird, but probably it's that smell of pollution that came through my bedroom window, the one that couldn't close properly. You never got used to it, exactly, but it... it sort of grew on you. It was like this mix of old dustbin and oil that's gone off by like a hundred years. Almost makes me wish Corona was polluted up to its ass.

You know what I don't miss though? Mrs Leibetz. I couldn't open the fridge without her banging on her ceiling and complaining about the noise... I hope she got out of Lanthae okay.

There's nothing like leaning back after a hard day working and letting the happy vibes take you away. But don't tell anyone.

Voltaic has proved that I can utilize these healing powers in truly frightful ways...but I don't want to think about it. If I can help it, I'll remain passive and use my powers for good.

Emilena: Heh. His buttons were particularly fun to push; that thing where you pretend to not remember them always pisses off his type who fancy themselves so memorable and important. I'm getting a similar sense from Vergil, I should invite him out for drinks after this, he seems the sort that would loosen up with some alcohol. Or maybe a roofie.

Best way to die...hmm, I'd say bullet to the head from a long-range rifle. You'd never know what hit you.

Worst way to die...being set on fire. Shit, have you seen their remains! Fuckin' nasty!

As for psychic powers, telekinesis. You can do anything with it that you can do with your hands.

Axel, that chop shop in Seryet City you're working in, does it gross you out in any way?

Axel: Honestly, not really. I mean, it's not like I'm the one sawing the augments off people, or however they do it. And apart from the occasional blood stain or little bit of skin or meat, they normally get delivered in in pretty good condition.

Don't get me wrong, it's not like I enjoy what's happening to these people, but... I mean, it's going to happen anyway, and I needed to find a way to get by. If I learned something from Lanthae, it's that sometimes you just need to look out for yourself.

Would you say Seryet City is better or worse than Lanthae?

Axel: I'd say maybe Seryet does a good job of looking like it's better than Lanthae. You're probably not as likely to get mugged, or worse, if you go out at night... depending on where you go, I guess. And the police do a better job of appearing to give a shit about the people living here. But you'd be kidding yourself if you actually thought Lanthae was any worse.

The cops are still corrupt here, and gangs and other assholes will still screw you over if you don't watch it. I guess I can just see it more clearly now than I did in Lanthae.

As for Seryet City vs. Lanthae? Well, that's like asking whether it's better to be kicked in the balls or in the face. They both suck. That said, Seryet PD and the politicians actually seem to give half a shit about the inhabitants.

Don't get me wrong though; Seryet City is a still a place where homicide could be considered a "natural death".

As for what happened in Lanthae...I really don't like talking about it and I try my best to forget about that whole incident. That said, my housemates said that I seem to be kind of paranoid.

---------------------

Doctor Kerzach: My job on Mawashi is actually pretty good. I mean it is a bit weird, cooking using heavy equipment but once you get used to it, it's not that different than normal cooking.

Captain Carson: We're a bit hard up for supplies so I thought I might "bend the rules" to help us gather supplies. That said, it's hard to see what I did as giving myself an unfair advantage.

Flora: Seemed like a waste to look as good as I do and not flaunt it, right? People would die to get a body like mine, and they'll pay just to see it. Also it was that or stay in an all-boys boarding school, which would have gotten awkward fast.

Emilena: A middle name? I'm lucky to have a last name. My parents mashed theirs together to create 'Emilena' when they left me at the orphanage, but I didn't get a surname assigned until I passed through the Accelerated Growth procedure when I was seven. Fifth of ten in the batch, they just used the military alphabet. Alpha, Bravo, Charlie... come to think of it there's only a few of us left at this point...

Lily: I've been drifting. What happened to my body when that...thing...took it over, that isn't just something you recover from. As for my full name, Emilena found a minor traffic violation in the police archives, and my full name was  Lillian Jessica Sybil. I didn't let her probe further because the past honestly doesn't matter to me anymore.

Emilena: But I totally looked into it anyway, and she's got a husband and three kids in Corona. Don't say anything; I dont think it'd be good for her to know that. And as for Seryet, the worst part is all the public funding. Parks, rivers, trees along the side of the road...here we're supposed to be an advanced civilization and we waste valuable cityspace on plants. They just look weird, jutting out in the way of high-tech skyscrapers and the like.

Uziel, what do you know about Soren's past? What do you want to know?

Marita, if Rose and Marie had a falling out and moved away from each other, who would you choose to keep living with?
Title: Ask the Characters
Post by: Nick22 on October 10, 2015, 08:37:41 PM
Marita: a very hard question to answer as I love them both dearly. It would depend on who i felt was responsible for the breakup, if it was Rose that was at fault, then I would have Marie stay, if Marie  was to blame then Rose. Rose and I have a longer bond- been girlfriends now twice, first in college and then now.. while marie has wormed her way into my heart.. and other places. She  is very good in bed, for a golden retriever that is.

 To  Flora , 3 questions
1.What made you decide to go into show business?
 2.when was the first time you kissed another girl?
3. what was her name- if you remember that, and what were the two of you doing at the time?

Rhaegson, what if I told you that you died from being bisected by a UFO in another timeline?
Rhaegson - I'd ask what the fuck you were on, 'cause I want some of it. This is the real world, not one of your nerdy sci-fi shows. If I die, I'm gonna make damn sure its balls deep in some broad who's at least an 8/10. Alright, a 6/10, I'm not that picky.


Axel, what's your middle name?
Axel - Jackson. It was the name of my dad's dad. He died way before I was born, but when she was around my mom told me that he was a pretty good guy.

Axel, have you ever been to Egeson Street?
Axel - No. Ever since I got to Seryet, I... don't really go out too much. I'll go when I have to, like to buy cheap crap at the store or go to work. Or stay for a couple of hours at the bar. But apart from that, it's not like I just go for a walk. It's not like I can relax outside.

--------------------------------

Lily - By now, are you used to being 'killed'? Is it still traumatic, or now is it just something you can shrug off?

Flora: My passion was always synthetics and pyrotechnics; it's just a coincidence I look damn sexy. That's why I stayed in school long enough to graduate, so I could learn as much applicable engineering as posssible.

It actually was quite some time before I kissed a girl, all-male boarding school you know. I was about halfway between grey wolf and pink fox by then, I think I looked horrible but my friends claim it wasn't that bad. Barbara was the janitor's daughter, her English wasn't great, but we hung out a lot because we were the only 'girls' on the campus. She was maybe five years older than me, and one time we just kissed while hiding from her dad in the broom closet. It was spur-of-the-moment and kinda awkward so we never did it again, but for me it was a big confidence booster learning that somebody would find me kissable even the way I am.

Lily - By now, are you used to being 'killed'? Is it still traumatic, or now is it just something you can shrug off?

Emilena - How would you describe your partnership with Lily?

Lily: Honestly, dying isn't that bad. Easier than falling asleep. The pain beforehand is a lot worse than the part where everything stops. But even then, the thing is...when you know the pain doesn't matter, it just becomes another sensation. Like pleasure, or boredom. The regeneration though...breathing is always the last thing to come back and suffocating (sometimes for hours, depending on how I died) will never be a manageable experience.

Emilena: Incredibly weird. Don't get me wrong, it's a business relationship, nothing more, but she's...extremely messed up. In some deeply disturbing ways. And she's not going to get better. At the moment, she's my best shot at convincing the Seryet Police Department to pick me up but I'd be lying if I didn't admit I'm rather uncomfortable with spending time around a person with such a flawed perception of death. I can't know for sure where I fit into her plans...

Captain Carson: I have raced dune buggies before if that counts.

Uziel: All I know about Soren is that he's from Lanthae and he works with cybernetics. What I'm really curious about is if he played a role in the now infamous Lanthae Incident.

Soren: Well, I'd say that Lanthae has a lot more shopping. It was much easier to get parts that I needed. Since the Seryet cops actually seem to give half a shit about the laws, I can't just go and buy a class 3 augment part when I damn well please.  

Anne: I've had the horn implant since I started high school. Back then it was merely cosmetic. I got the radio horn mod after I graduated college.

 Lily< what would going into the purifier base Kamikaze-style actually accomplish?
Title: Ask the Characters
Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on December 15, 2015, 05:24:43 AM
Lily: What would I accomplish by marching into the Purifier base loaded with explosives and blowing the entire thing sky high? Only the destruction of their headquarters, their commanders, their followers, and the demoralization of what remained. Especially after I did the same to their next headquarters. And any other pockets that I got wind of. I'd like to see them keep a movement going in that condition...

Speaking of emotionally crippled, Axel quickly turned into a nervous wreck after Lanthae. Flashbacks, depression, night terrors...he had the works, and it was quickly sapping me of my will to live. I couldn't keep taking care of him in that state, not with my powers and what I could accomplish. Once he dies, hopefully of old age, it all wouldn't have mattered anyway.

Nah, I might be petty but I'm not a moron. I'd arrange to have them taken out, as quickly as my guys can haul their asses.

Emilena: Christ...avoiding her is the only intelligent decision. She's mentally disturbing, and probably the least healthy person to spend time with if you hope to die of old age. We've also got Axel, who's presence is only going to cause bad things to happen to her already-damaged psyche. Not to mention she refuses to heal allies, even me, meaning that she'd be less of a battlefield medic and more like one of those lone wolf experiments they wiped out in Pelvanida. But somehow I doubt avoiding her is an option. We're wrapped up with the Purifiers now, and it's unlikely she won't be butting her head into things. I just hope we can reason with her once she learns who we're working for...

Marita; i  have not witnessed her healing powers for myself. however i did know that she had such powers back in Lanthae. since her line of work is - dangerous-, having such healing abilities would be a must-have. a logical conclusion/ even though i have not seen such powers for myself,  it is logical to assume they exist, based on (admittedly) secondhand info.
( Tarrax: it varies. sometimes I fly outside the ship, other times i travel inside of it. Dpends on whether I want to stretch my wings.

Stripetail: well Lets see. My last birthday was my, 1, 099, 998th , So i'm closing in on 1.1 million years of age. How time flies, when you dont have to worry about aging. And no, there was NOT 1, 099, 998 candles on my last birthday cake.  I actually cant remember the last time I  HAD a birthday cake for my birthday, when you've seen as many years as I have, They all blend together. Tarrax and I will likely do something for our 1.1M birthdays in a couple years.  Most likely, a small part with my friends, assuming of course we;'re not off n some corner of creation dealing with evil in its many forms and guises.

Flora: Not that the bar's set very high or anything, but it's nice to meet someone who can't kill me. I don't even mean "wants to kill me", I mean she's the first person who I don't have to worry is suddenly gonna pull out a gun or a cybernetic implant and shish-kebab me for god-knows-why. That being said, I can't be too honest with her because I'd rather not lose my only current friend by telling her too much about my involvement in either the music business or this whole Purifier odyssey.

Marita, if you lived to 1,099,998, what do you think you'd be doing to celebrate your birthday?

Soren - Shit, I dunno where that thing went. I probably dropped it or somehow lost it. For all I know, Buller might have confiscated it. As for that burner computer...took an hour or so. Trust me, used electronics stores are practically on every street in bad parts of town. Yeah, it's probably stolen but hey, we're going to sell it back to another used electronics store or dump it in the nearest electronic recycling bin...so not our problem.

Title: Re: Ask the Characters

Flora: Yeah...wasn't really thinking on my feet for that one. I just didn't want to tell her the truth, and what other excuse would justify how I wound up there? She already knew I was captured during a Purifier raid, and I'm not a fan of keeping multiple stories straight, so she might as well think what everyone else already does.

Rose, do you plan on Flora ever finding out Bianca's true identity? How do you think she'll take it?

Post by: Nick22 on July 11, 2018, 12:20:21 AM
Rose: I Might, after we get away from  Corxon and his gang.  As for how she'd take it, well,  we both have been lying to each other, so I think it will probably be a wash. For instance I know shes not a terrorist, and I did do some backup dancer gigs prior to getting hooked on biproxytol, so that it technically is true that  I am a backup dancer.  but if the guys guarding Flora ever figured out that I was really one of Floras friends, yeah they'd literally cut me to pieces. There wouldnt be much of me left to find. So, I'm staying as Bianca for a good while yet

 Marita: 1.1 million years old?  What sort of stuff has that old squirrel been drinking, and where can I get some? For someone whos been around since the dinosaurs, he looks really really good!
 Stripetail: My dear, i'm not THAT old, well at least not yet.  besides you have to answer the question.
 marita : Fine, fine. Umm. I dont know, I'd have  a party where I'd spend 1.1 million dollars on stuff. It would be kinda like those Red carpet award shows, where everyone gets tons of swag for showing up.  I mean come on. If I live that long, I'm gonna be freaking LOADED with cash, 1.1 million, would be nothing to  me.
 Tarrax: well, the truth is,  my master found my egg when he was very young. In human reckoning, We'd be about the same age, he wasnt more than 4 seasons ( A year) old when he found me. We grew up together, and have had each others back through thick and thin.  I've had several wives over the ages , 3 to be precise, I've outlived all of them. Same goes for my children, of which I've had 10.  Comes with the territory when you are immortal.

My client had lost their family to the man and wanted him to suffer. I managed to subdue a chef and took his place since my target was so rich he pretty much had his own suite, I spat in his food and mixed it around. By the time the guards had gotten to him the toxins had already taken effect. They found the chef who's place I took in a closet tied up and gagged. My client who was a lawyer even represented him and got him off the hook when the court tried to charge him.

Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on August 11, 2018, 09:15:56 PM
Flora, do you have any gene mods?

Flora: In spades. My parents were heavily ingratiated into this underground community called the Changelings that experimented with prenatal gene alteration to find the "biological limit." They were like Gattaca hippies, and they did all sorts of weird shit to their unborn kids just to see what worked and what didn't. The Changelings only really stuck around for one generation before increased social awareness got them all arrested and their practises outlawed. A few of the other kids grew up in the orphanage with me, they were a weird bunch.

Shelton, do you see any of the cybernetics and gene mod work at Pelvanida eventually making it out into the public?

Shelton: Frankly I'm surprised it hasn't happened already. There's a fortune waiting to be made if the right company can secure the rights to advance or distribute the sort of research we'd created at Pelvanida. To be honest, I suspect the government wants to keep it under wraps so they can create supersoldiers as an international bargaining chip, but after everything that happened in 2009 the cat is certainly out of the bag.

As for having kids, I'm not quite sure. I've spent most of my life killing that's not really the makings of a stable family life.

Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: Nick22 on August 19, 2018, 12:40:02 AM
Stripetail: Two Questuions, eh? Well I'll start with the first one-  how I first met Nick.  It was when I stopped at the First Cafe run by Chong, when he and Aves wrre staffing the kitchen.. the food was terrible and the way he treated the staff was even worse.  so, shall we say, I helped make a change in management. As for having kids, no. I had a mate once,  named Snowpaw but she died shortly after our marriage, she caught a severe flu and it claimed her life within a couple days. I  was not nearly the healer then,  that  i am now, had that  happened today I would have been able to save her.  it took me decades to recover from losing her, and after i did, I swore i would never allow myself to hurt in that way again. So kids are out of the question for me.

 Marita: Hiding my identity from flora is out of the question , she knows me, and Marie. besides, i have a duty to keep an eye on her courtesy of Bailey. I dont know what Rose is up to , or for that matter where she is. As for having kids, I'd need more money for that to be a consideration, a LOT more money.
 Marie: Why would I try and disguise myself, when the person already knows me. Sounds counter-intuitive, and besides it wouldnt get me on her good side anyway. As foir having kids, I dont know. maybe, in the future.

Shelton: I thought the kid was in over his head. Pelvanida was a top-secret facility with one of the highest faculty mortality rates in the country (the main reason I worked in administration, instead of directly with the experiments), and Werner was only eighteen. Plus he had something of a habit of being horribly injured. But I underestimated him; he never spent more than a single night in the infirmary, and his work ethic was nothing short of earnest. I should have realized you didn't get to be the youngest scientist in the base without being something special. Too bad I didn't get to know him before we were fighting for our lives.

Quote from:
All Blanking the Slate characters and Stripetail, do you think you'll ever have any kids?

Emilena: I'm completely sterile. Byproduct of the Growth Acceleration program aging me to adulthood; I skipped puberty overnight. And honestly I have no complaints, pretty much every age-related hormonal change in females just makes our bodies less combat capable. I'll take a four-minute mile over having breasts any day of the week.

Flora: I'd actually need to get government permission. When I left the orphanage, I signed a thing promising not to have offspring unless they were adopted, since they don't want my messed-up genetics entering the gene pool. That being said, I'm not against the idea, but I'd need to be a lot older. Right now there's no way I'm juggling concerts, Columbia Records, and kids.

Lily: I already have children. Two boys named Christian and Ejlert, plus two girls named Aylin and Hannah. Of course, three of them have died due to the actions of my late husband, but I honestly don't know where Ejlert is at the moment. He seems to have escaped his childhood home, or else I'd have seen him when I paid my visit, so I can only hope he's found happiness on his own.

===============

Rose, do you prefer the Flora from Racing the Storm and Around the Folf, or the Flora from Blanking the Slate?

Werner, did you know your father at all before he disappeared in your youth?

Hans, similar question, do you have any memories of Werner before you left to join the terrorists?

Werner: a little bit but not really much.

Hans: Yeah I left when he was about four years old.

James what were your first impressions of Werner?

Rose: hmm. thats a good question. its hard to say. both have their pluses.  the Flora from Blanking is a lot more confident I would say, has a bit of an ego, but that comes with being a music superstar. i'm not sure what the future holds, but i'll always try to help flora as much as I can.

 Tony Stracci, what have you been up to since we last  saw you?
 
 Ask Stripetail anything.

Post by: Pterano on September 17, 2018, 11:02:55 AM
Tony: Kids? Yeah sure, if I ever found the right woman to be with and start that family. But yes, at some point I'd like to continue the legacy of the Stracci name. Can't say as of yet that I've found a suitable match but never say never.

Tony: In regards to the recent question, I've inherited my father's empire upon his passing, but I've tried to keep a lot of it on the legitimate side. He was known for his paving and construction businesses, so I've tried to expand those as best I can. The illegal weapons' trade of course can't be fully avoided, but I'm doing the best I can to gradually phase it out. Inherited his mammoth car collection as well, so I drive and maintain the cars whenever I can, and of course, use them on an adventure or two.

------------------

Emilena, if you had your pick of any person in the party you could settle down (and let's say you had to choose), whom would it be and why?

Rose, are your parents alive, and if so, what are they up to now?

Post by: Serris on September 17, 2018, 11:43:56 AM
Soren - Ehh, maybe?

James - Well, at first, I was wondering who the hell opened up summer internships at Pelvanida. But then I found out that he was a legit scientist, albeit one fresh out of college. But really, graduating college at 18? He must have had some really hardcore course work. Regardless, he's great at what he does.

--------------------

Shelton, what made you work at Pelvanida?

Tony, how do you manage to keep a low profile with all those exotic cars you love to drive?

Stripetail, how did you come to battle with Mertavius?
Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on September 17, 2018, 12:56:41 PM
Shelton: My roommate in college. His name was Bruce, he was a jackass and I was the only one who'd put up with him. He was a genius though, a real prodigy at virtual reality, and I try to keep people like that in my circle. And oh boy did it pay off in this instance.

He'd been interviewing aggressively with Pelvanida, I didn't really understand why at the time (years later, I learned it was because he wanted to join Dragonstorm...) and one day he passed the word onto me that their control room admin, Dr. Denning-Rodger, was retiring after 34 years on the job. That cranky old man gave me the hardest job interview I've ever had...but I landed the position due to lack of other applicants. Most qualified people were scared off by the alarming frequency of workplace-related injuries, but I was just excited to find an American government job that covered reallocation costs. You don't just turn that down.

-------------------------------------

Emilena: Sighhhhhhh... Okay, fine. In the spirit of fair play, I'll give this question an honest shot.

Knocking some easy ones off the list: Lily, Awe, and the lesbians are instant hard passes. Marita and her groupies are idiots and I'd probably shoot myself if I had to encounter them on a daily basis. Lily genuinely scares me with her recent behavior. I already had to experience living with her these past few months, I would not recommend it to anyone. Awe is a vigilante Augmented freedom fighter, and a marriage with him would last about as long as it'd take me to chloroform him and call the police.

The Axel from Lanthae would probably have gotten my vote, but these days he's taken to drinking and complaining about literally everything, I think I get depressed just from looking at him. He needs a therapist, and that sort of person can really affect your psyche as a roommate. Or (eurghh) husband, I guess.

I don't believe Anne and I have shared a single line of dialogue in all the months we've known each other. I don't know why we keep her around, I despise her inability to keep control of her drug addictions, and in a marital situation I'd constantly worry she'd nick my stuff to finance her substance abuse.

Tony is, for the most part, neutral, with some minor plusses and no major minuses. He once worked for the Purifiers, so I could probably convince him to hate Augments again. He's wealthy, well-bred, and currently the least dysfunctional teammate. But his primary downside is his libido; he just answered he's interested in having kids to further his lineage, and I recall him flirting heavily with Marita in Racing the Storm. Unfortunately I don't think I'm sexually-compatible with someone who wants to, well, have sex.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but Soren comes with the only major plusses I can think of. He'd be able to take care of my cybernetic hand when it needs repairs, plus I suspect he'd mostly go off and do his own thing in his workshop. He's never shown any sort of sex drive in all the time I've known him, plus I just spent two weeks on the run with him and he's refreshingly self-sufficient. We likely will never agree politically, but I think we both understand that and could do what we needed to make it work. Not that that would ever happen or anything, mind you!

=======================

Awe, are there any significant individuals in your past the other main characters don't know about?

Tony, if you'd been present for Kojurro's brief appearance in this role-play (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=14550.msg429130#msg429130), how would you have voted regarding his fate? What do you think about how things ultimately turned out for him?
Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: Pterano on September 19, 2018, 11:17:02 AM
Tony: A good question. I tend to drive my vintages around the neighborhood where I live. Everyone knows my old man had his collection, so they just expect to see a good old gas burner on the streets of their place. Now despite it being anathema to me, if it's longer distances into the city proper, I will definitely take the modern, self-driving, electric whatchamacallit out. I don't really like it, as I like the experience of actually driving your car, but it serves the dual purpose of keeping me in a low profile and being at least an efficient drive. Still, if I get the hankering, I will occasionally take out one of the classics from the garage and bring it into the city (totally worth the looks and thumbs up I get though!). But yeah pretty much if I want to keep my low profile, I just slide into the heavily tinted electric vehicle and take that around.

Tony: Definitely death. He had betrayed us too many times and he would've been more of a hindrance than a help. Nothing he said during that conversation would've convinced me had I been present so yep! Put a bullet in his brain, end it quickly, and move on. I'm not really one for gratuitous violence but sometimes... in a situation like this when you have no choice and taking him along would've just led to us either getting stabbed in the back, shot multiple times, imprisoned and tortured, what have you, best to choose the option that benefits the group.

-----------------

Soren, you seem like you know your way around a weapon. Would you describe yourself as a gun aficionado, and if so, what's your favorite type of gun?

Emilena: Random question, but at the end of Into the Black, Kojurro was waiting to kill everyone with a sniper rifle... let's say he wasn't executed by us. Do you think he'd still be waiting there patiently, rifle at the ready, preparing to gun us down?
Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on September 19, 2018, 06:25:52 PM
Emilena: I heard from Nairda that he didn't let the destruction of the entire city stop him, (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=13105.msg411147;topicseen#msg411147) so probably!

(OOC: Holy crap, I just looked, and Serris (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=12341.msg398954;topicseen#msg398954), Pterano (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=13105.msg411147;topicseen#msg411147), Nick22 (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=13105.msg415907#msg415907), bushwacked (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=14550.msg429130;topicseen#msg429130), LettuceBacon&Tomato (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=14553.msg469469#msg469469), f-22, (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=14553.msg474789#msg474789) and StarfallRaptor (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=12341.msg387336#msg387336) have all controlled Kojuuro for at least one post.

Awe: Not really, I never really went for and significant relationships they don't mix well with being an assassin. That and the work I currently do keeps me too busy for any real off time.


Werner: I studied at the Technical University of Dresden and I majored in computer science, biology, chemistry and mechanical engineering.

Shelton, so how do you feel having a whole disease named after you?
Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: Nick22 on September 22, 2018, 01:26:58 AM
 STripetail: How did i first cross paths with Mertavius? Simple, he tried to conquer my home world, and I stopped him. He hasnt forgotten, and hasnt stopped trying to conquer it either . One thing about Mertavius. He is  without scruples, or mercy.  Any world run by him would be a bleak hellscape and woe to those to fall into his hands. If you think Chong is bad, well Mertavius makes Chong look like a choir boy.
 
 Rose:. My Folks live on the other side of the country, and I havent seen them in years. I send them cards every so often, and on rare occasion they send me stuff, like money, or  food.  They're outdoors types, they're always out hiking, and camping. I honestly could not tell you what they do for a living, its been so long since I saw them. But whatever they do, they seem to make pretty good money.

Shelton: I mean, I would have preferred to not die to it and somebody else get that ‘honor.’ But I guess it’s nice to have a legacy that involves my name. Before the public learned about Shelton’s disease, I tended to get glossed over in the history books because I died before the Einstein-Rosen bridge network was finished.

James, what is your greatest shame?

Tony, we’ve seen and heard a lot about your dad, but not nearly as much about your mom. Is she still alive, and what sort of person was she?
Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: Serris on September 24, 2018, 03:10:40 AM
Soren: Well, it's nice to have a gun in Lanthae thanks to how shitty the place is and I'm pretty proficient with one. But I'm not some legendary gunslinger. As for my favorite gun, the Remington 870 has always served me well. Cheap, good stopping power, reliable and customizable.

James: I don't think I'll ever live down setting fire to one of the bio labs during my post-doc. Turns out those hot plates run much hotter than the ones I'm used to during my Ph.D.

Dr. Kerzach: Ehh, he's good at what he does?

Awe, how did you get so many augmentations?

Axel, biological or cybernetic augmentations?

Shelton, did you have any ethical issues with working at Pelvanida?
Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on September 24, 2018, 07:06:26 AM
Shelton: For a while I could believe the spiel that every experiment was either a criminal or volunteer. They made sure you first met the enthusiastic ones like Siberys, and then the batshit sociopaths like Slash and Agito. I didn’t learn about how we were kidnapping homeless off the streets until I’d already taken the job. And by then, what was I gonna do? I’m not an American citizen, I’d just spent thousands moving here and securing an apartment, and had no hope of landing another job half as good as this one. I wasn’t in a position to rock the boat. Or at least, that’s how I justify it to myself...

———-

Kerzach, did you have any ethical issues working at Pelvanida?

James and Soren: If you two competed against each other in a two-person Darwin’s Soldiers-style Schutzhund competition, with Remington 870s as your weapons of choice, who would win?

Werner, we’ve seen and heard a lot about your dad, but not nearly as much about your mom. Is she still alive, and what sort of person was she?

Awe: I was given only the best augments by Werner Industries to fulfill my role as a corprate assassin.

Werner: Well, it's kind of a hard subject. She sadly passed away shortly after the incident at Pelvandia. It was before we tested the gate that the government had rebuilt. She was a very kind and loving person. (ties in rather nicely from that bit in your fic before they go through the gate Card of Ten eh LB&T?)

Tony: She's still alive anymore; she is... perhaps a better woman than he was a man. She was always worried about his descent into criminality but... was always supportive as well. She prayed for him a lot... I dunno if I really believe in any of that, but it concerned her enough she would do it. Kind of a... silent enabler I guess you could call her. But still, she did see the good in my father too, and could see he was proudest of me, and I think family support is what made her happiest.

Rudyard Shelton: Considering the mortality rate of those who went on that expedition, I'm more than happy to have missed out on that adventure.

Oscar Shelton: That whole situation was a huge kettle of fish. The three of us who survived were almost immediately quarantined by the government. We didn't even get a night's sleep before they were grilling us for hours in Carson City Camp, wanting to know everything about what we saw, what happened to the others, what technological breakthroughs we could remember. They were particularly interested in the shuttlecrafts, not that the three of us were able to tell them anything useful. Then it was over six months before Aisha convinced Admiral Tennes to let us live offsite unchaperoned, after we'd signed multiple NDAs and had our identities changed through witness protection.

Rudyard Shelton: Course, that didn't last long when Steven Johnson intentionally violated his NDA, not wanting his fallen teammates to have died in vain. Since this was right on the heels of all the Dragonstorm stuff, the public latched onto the mystery and people started poking their noses into things the government wanted covered up. Eventually, the government made the best of a bad situation and allowed the anti-matter team's story to go public, mostly to use it as a distraction for the Dragonstorm story they were still repressing. That actually kinda worked for them for a long time. Long enough for me to die in obscurity while Oscar got really, really famous...

 Marita: A number of them, in particular the absolutely massive Bristol Bay National Park in Alaska. It covers nearly 80 million acres of land and water, and conserves the worlds largest intact salmon fishery. I've never been there, but its on my bucket list. As for my favorite, it would have to the New River Gorge National Park in West Virginia, its a favorite for BASE jumpers. You couldnt pay me enough to jump over the bridge myself, but its an absolutely gorgeous scene all the same.  If only i had more money, then  i could travel more.

Anti-matter Hans: It was hard at first, especially when we found out about what you call shelton's disease. We called it the gate plague.

Anti-matter Werner: Yeah, Luckily we were able to stabilize my father here momentarily. Just long enough for my daughter to make a brief jump to find a cure. Turns out the moon had some rare herbs native to it that we made into a potion. Well we had help from the sapaar and we discovered that it hinders the effects of shelton's disease if you have it. That was before the birth of my daughter though, and I discovered that the herbs have a healing effect in the womb, so she didn't get effected.

Anti-matter Dr. Joe: Oscar and Stephen always thought there was a chance. That Werner and Hans are resourceful enough, that maybe the planet survived, that they did have coordinates to a shuttlecraft. But I don't see it. I saw the ground disintegrate, there was no atmosphere left. And even if they'd reached a shuttlecraft, where would they go? I'm sorry, but Stephen, Oscar and I were the only survivors of that accursed expedition.

I bounced around from various jobs until a former friend told be about the desert settlement. I thought it would be best if I left, though I told my wife about it. She wasn't thrilled but I told her I thought i could do good there.

Oscar Shelton: Holy crap, a question for me. I've been here since the thread started nine years ago, and nobody ever asked me anything.

Rudyard Shelton: Didn't stop you from butting in on half of my answers.

Oscar Shelton: Pot calling the kettle black! Anyway, at first I moved to Sweden, wanting to get as far away from America as possible. I made a decent living as a university professor at ETH Zürich (they granted me an "honorary degree" in light of being a duplicate of an alumnus) until Uncle Sam contacted me when serious development on the bridge network stalled. Rudyard had abandoned his work and retired to Scotland on bad terms, they wanted me to take over his responsibilities and see if I could complete his research. I failed, have to admit, but then Stephen violated his NDA and I got rich and famous anyway. Ever wish you'd stuck around, Rudy?

Rudyard Shelton: No. Some of us have standards...

Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: Pterano on October 24, 2018, 12:47:40 AM
Tony: I knew from an early age... probably around the time I was a teenager... my father took me into his confidence and told me we weren't just legitimate business owners... and wanted me to follow in his footsteps... didn't... try to at first but... after awhile, I did, yes.

Tony: Road paving and construction. My father had this scam where like... he'd run these heavy construction trucks and equipment down the roads, tearing them up, so that his paving company could be contracted to come in and pave the roads in their wake. It was lucrative but... I've stopped that. Mostly focusing on construction now.

Tony: Uhhh... if I could go back and change one event... it'd be to get my father better care, and ensure he took better care of himself... no drinking, no smoking, etc. I still really look up to him... even with his faults. But I mean... I'm doing OK so... I guess... that would be it.

Awe: Well I had heard of him and how he'd changed his fathers operation. I admire him for it. As for how I got into my profession I was orphaned as a child and raised by the head of Werner Industries to act as a corporate assassin.

Rudy Shelton would it be fair to say theat you and Oscar have a friendly rivalry?


Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on October 26, 2018, 09:17:50 PM
Rudyard: Not really. Honestly, we saw each other more like brothers and got along really well. I used a lot of my $1m hush money helping both of us settle down. I didn't get to spend a lot of time with him since he moved to Sweden within a few years.

Oscar: Rudy's a great guy, but he was a lot more haunted by his adventures than I was. He did some pretty terrible things to maintain his cover while infiltrating Dragonstorm, and also something happened with a young woman? He refused to talk about her so I don't really know. But either way, he couldn't seem to let all that go, and eventually I just needed to go off and find my own identity. I think when he looks at me, he sees a Shelton that didn't lose the ambition and detached self-confidence that guided him through his early life.

 marita: I have no idea. Frankly, at this point, I fear the worst. I havent received any word from her, and knowing how the Purifiers operate the odds are likely shes buried in some landfill some where, or at least part of her is.  Those guys show people no mercy.

Post by: Pterano on November 06, 2018, 01:03:54 AM
Tony: My early life? Uh... well... went to good prep schools and all that. Wanted to follow in my father's pawsteps at first... before I realized our construction companies were really just fronts. Then at first I lost interest. Was kind of rebellious... ended up joining the Purifiers, after I became heavily anti-augment but... I've since changed my tune on that. But yeah I mean... you know... fancy schools, fishing up in the mountains, hunting... still eat big game to this day. Used to drive to school after I got my license in a 1936 Cord 812... my father's of course, but it made me one of the cooler kids on campus, heheh. Sometimes I'd steal one of his V-12s, like a Pierce-Arrow or Packard and go drag racing with it. He wasn't too thrilled about that though!

Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on November 06, 2018, 10:42:58 PM
Emilena: Story time...I grew up in an orphanage, and not a nice one. The staff was cruel, the building was archaic and the policies were medieval; Nature's Heart is honestly a large part of the reason I joined the Accelerated Growth Program, I didn't want to be a helpless kid anymore. But on my last day at the orphanage, my roommate Selma went missing. While trying to find her, I discovered that the wardens were running their own test program on the orphans. I don't even want to tell you what they were doing to them...They caught me sneaking around and almost killed me, but I managed to escape and reach police protection. The Wardens were arrested, I spent a week in the hospital before being artificially aged up to 18 and enrolling in the police force, and that was the end of it.

Or so I thought. Three years later, I was dispatched to Nature's Heart on a routine call, and I discovered the original Wardens had left jail early due to good behavior and resumed right where they left off. Policy dictated I arrest them, but they'd flaunted justice before, and would probably do so again. So I killed them in cold blood, evacuated the kids, and burned the orphanage down so it would never reopen. That turned out to be a pretty bad move. It caused me to be put on probation, it caused me to target Soren in a last-ditch attempt to regain my badge, and it directly led to everything I've been put through since. I must admit, a lot of pain and personal injury could have been avoided if I'd brought those bastards in by the book.

(OOC: These events are chronicled in one of my stories starring Emilena in her police years, readable here (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AfM10Dh8Lo30rxrzUTRtjzgpMOCOoBBY_4vdIbgrN-I/edit#bookmark=id.pferfkobexen))

Awe: My first kill? It was an exec from another company. We were suppose to merge with them but they suddenly pulled out of the deal. I was sent to take care of him.

Awe: As for how I sound, it's not really and actor but more a character. Thane Krios from Mass Effect 2 is a good description of my voice.

Emilena: He's an Augment, and I can't trust anyone who would willingly replace huge parts of their body with machinery. As recent events have shown, shadowy forces are more than happy to incapacitate the lot of you with as little as a rogue software update. How many innocent, fully-organic people have to die because of Augments bluescreening at inconvenient times? Just look at all the dangerous groups currently taking advantage of a huge chunk of the population being hackable! Mark my words, this Brennan incident is just the beginning. It's only going to get worse, and anyone stupid enough to willingly Augment themselves deserves what's coming to them.

Awe, Marita, Tony, are there any Augments you don't currently possess but you wish you did?

Flora, have you had any other music videos you didn't like making?
Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on November 21, 2018, 05:15:48 AM
Flora: Oh my god, for "Dance All Night" we hired a costar named Bolton De la Cruz, and he was the worst actor on the planet. So full of himself, you couldn't disagree with him and he kept insisting on making me redo all the shots, even ones he wasn't in. So later Bailey tells me Bolton wants to fire me from my own music video and replace me with a stunt double! We couldn't even downsize him because of contract bullshit. The final video turned out okay, admittedly, but god it was the worst experience filming it.

"Foxholes" was terrible too. It was a war story; I get conscripted, go fight with the Royal Expeditionary Force (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=8893.msg295163#msg295163), witness atrocities, and my fur grows lighter until it's completely gray because I have PTSD or something. But we filmed it in the Quebec wetlands for realism, and you have no idea how cold those goddamn swamps get. Not to mention I had to get rebleached a new shade multiple times a day since we didn't film the scenes in order...and the song ended up tanking anyway because it wasn't pop enough!

And finally, there's my most embarrassing business decision...see, my whole career there's been this ongoing rumor that I'm an Augment, just because my fur's fuchsia and I'm a folf. It's caused me a lot of grief, so I channeled that anger into a song called "Phenolphthalein". Fee-no-thay-leen is this chemical that turns pink when exposed to acid, so I was trying to make a metaphor for myself facing the hatedom, I guess? I don't know. But then my label makes me do a music video where I'm made of all these robotic body parts, which they thought was poking fun at the rumors, but I said it goes completely against the point of the song, you know? But nobody listened to me. And what do you know? All the video did was give exposure to the rumors and they reached a whole new level that's never gone away. God, I wish I'd never written that song...

Marita, if you had to sacrifice one member of the team so the rest could live, who would you pick?

Awe and Werner: Which of you would win in a fair fight?

Tony, if you had your pick of any person in the party you could settle down (and let's say you had to choose), whom would it be and why?
Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: Pterano on November 21, 2018, 03:58:37 PM
Tony: Nope, no augments I lack and none I desire. I prefer being natural, and I've managed just fine up to this point.

Tony: Uh... damn... if I had to choose? Well... Lily's out. She' too psycho/full of herself to make a good match... and unpredictable plus sociopathic. Not tendencies I'd look for in a mate. Marie and Rose I don't really know enough about, despite having adventured with them before. Marita is OK, but I'm not really sure she's my type. It's nice she appreciates my cars but really... techy stuff is usually way over my head, unless you're talking about a gas burning car engine. Uh... Flora... is too young. Too rambunctious. Anne well... I used to be into but... she seems kind of uh... I dunno distant now? I haven't spoken with her seriously in quite some time so... maybe worth pursuing again but... I just honestly don't have relevant information on her at present. I almost forgot she existed in fact when I was running through this list in my head.

And that leaves if I'm thinking correctly, Emilena. Recently, she's shown a different side to herself... cooperative, softer, nowhere near as harsh as she used to be. Sure, she's still all business when it comes down to it, but there's other things I wasn't aware of before. She can actually loosen up sometimes, and isn't stiff constantly anymore. Am I saying we're 100% compatible? No, but if I had to choose one... I think Emilena would do. Definitely the best pick of the bunch.

Awe, who do you feel you get along most with in the group so far?

Emilena, was the burning down the orphanage ordeal the most difficult thing you've faced as a cop... or was there something else?
Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on November 22, 2018, 04:33:43 AM
Emilena: That wasn't even close to the most dangerous experience I ever suffered through in my career.

One time I was sent by police jet (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AfM10Dh8Lo30rxrzUTRtjzgpMOCOoBBY_4vdIbgrN-I/edit#bookmark=id.65y5o8q2ktwf) for a routine investigation of a water purification plant deep in the mountains. This was in the dead of winter. Somebody shoots the jet down with a surface-to-air missile and the wreckage crashes into a frozen lake. I drag myself to shore, miles of snow in every direction, and I have a massive laceration in my leg from shrapnel. I manage to reach the plant, they had to perform surgery on me without anesthesia because an unknown worker was the saboteur and I couldn't trust anyone to let me go under. Then the saboteur cut power to the station, and things started to get really bad...

Another time, I'm at an airport (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AfM10Dh8Lo30rxrzUTRtjzgpMOCOoBBY_4vdIbgrN-I/edit#bookmark=id.qwvjmc779g3n) scheduled to fly to Canada; we'd been tipped off about a bomb threat on a particular flight. I managed to figure out who it was before they could execute their plan, but at the cost of them shooting out a window and getting me sucked out of the plane.

One time I got captured while investigating a drug manufacturing plant, (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AfM10Dh8Lo30rxrzUTRtjzgpMOCOoBBY_4vdIbgrN-I/edit#bookmark=id.jymvvzjzyxq6) again in the goddamn snowy mountains. They inject me with something, but they didn't account for my under-developed immune system actually working in my favor and I managed to escape. Course, by 'escape' I mean get into a car chase down a tiny mountain road. Several Jeeps of people fell to their death.

Another time technically I wasn't on duty, but I was a hostage in a bank during a robbery gone wrong. (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kOt9-XGX4VkAv-b1vByUuqpXP81a2uLIGmNUMoRRLyk/edit#) I managed to escape the hostage area and open a pathway for a SWAT team to gain entry via the sewers, but after we reached the vault I locked them inside with a live grenade; my brain had been infected with a sleeper subroutine, my escape entirely according to the robbers' plan. If the orphanage incident hadn't happened, this experience would have been my greatest shame.

There were other incidents too, but those four stick out in my mind particularly. Probably because they all involved heights, there’s a reason I have a fear of heights...

Tony, what's your greatest shame?

Shelton, what's your biggest regret?
Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on November 23, 2018, 07:44:56 AM
Shelton: Shakila. Literally everything about our short-lived relationship. I should never have befriended her, I should never have slept with her, and I certainly should never have acted like a dick to her after we mutually broke up. Before she asked me out I was completely romantically inexperienced, having spent my entire life focused on science and schoolwork. Plus we were likely to die any day, so I let my guard down. But that doesn’t excuse any of it.

Oscar: Hey, at least you got a kid out of it. I didn’t get any children.

Shelton: A kid who shows up at my retirement home out of nowhere, just in time to watch me die of a freak brain hemorrhage!

Oscar: Yeah, you aren’t winning any ‘Father of the Year’ awards.

It's not even my fault I fatally caught Shelton's disease, I had it from the day I was born, and was the very first person to die from it.

Marita: Sacrifice one person so the others could get away?  In the beginning I would have said Emilena without question. Afterall, she more or less blackmailed me into this adventure way back when. However, having worked with her for a long time now, shes not as bad as when I first met her. Yes she can still be a pain in the ass, but she does have her good qualities. I would go the cliche  noble route and do the self sacrifice.set everything in the area to go boom, and hopefully take out a ton of bad guys with me.

Zula, First of all, I’d like to apologize for all the times I’ve misspelled your name in the roleplays. The autocorrect on every device I’ve ever owned hates it.
Second, can you tell us your experience during the Lanthae pulse bomb that killed almost everyone in the city? How did you survive?

Bowser jr and Diddy Kong, forgive me if I’m reading the subtext incorrectly, but it appears you two are in a romantic relationship? How did that come to happen?

Bowser Jr.: H-hey! Keep it down, that's top secret info, aabicus!
Diddy Kong: What he means to say is that we're not out and aren't ready to be out yet for... family reasons.
Bowser Jr.: It IS a funny story how this all happened. Do you remember, Diddy?
Diddy Kong: Of course I do. It was at a Super Smash Brothers tournament. All the fighters there room in a mansion owned by the Master Hand for the tournament. For as long as I knew him, Junior was always a troublemaking little twerp in our home dimension--
Bowser Jr: Yep.
Diddy Kong: -- and he was an even bigger trouble making twerp at the mansion. He was always pulling pranks and getting everyone else angry at him. But he was always particular about it with me. He'd make sure I was around to SEE the pranks, but I was never the target. Then, after we had a heated match, we had a confrontation that ended with me punching him in the face. I thought he'd get pissy and hit me back, but he just looked genuinely hurt in this way I didn't understand at the time and ran off. I mean, surely he knew that was what I was gonna do, right? What else was he expecting? But I ended up confronting him again to apologize. And then things got heated again because he was being a sulky little pain in the tail. I said something that made him cry. I was angry. I mocked him as hard as I could for that, tried to hit every vulnerable point I knew he had. I was almost positive he was gonna deck me in the face for the things I said, but I was so happy to lash out at SOMEONE for all the things that were going on in my life at the time that I didn't care. But he didn't hit me. He kissed me instead.
Bowser Jr: You bet I did. I was smooth as silk back then.
Diddy Kong: Yeah right. He ran off crying as soon as he did that I kind of just stood there thunderstruck. Just a few days prior Dixie had broken up with me. She was gentle about it, but it still destroyed me. I was nearly in mourning. We had been dating so long that I was sure it was gonna be forever. But... with her gone, feelings I had had for awhile towards boys but have always hid kinda came to the forefront after that kiss. Apparently, Jr. had had feelings for me for years, and had been low key trying to catch my eye for quite some time. When he found out I had broken up with Dixie, he apparently saw that as his chance. And it was. Things kinda got wild after that, right Junie?
Bowser Jr: Oh yes it did. But... that would be telling, wouldn't it? Hehehe.

Tony: Greatest shame? Erm... while I don't regret joining the Purifiers... I regret what it did to my father... and his disappointment in me... I'd say... that was probably it.

Tony: Favorite weapon? Uh... I'm not really an expert but... I do like my Glock 23. It's compact, holds a lot of rounds, and fits my paws well. .40 caliber is good as well but hell... for sheer classic style, I do like my Colt M1911 too. Great balance, awesome stopping power, and was our standard handgun in World War One. But yeah I'm not like... hugely a gun expert or anything.

Tony: My favorite car... it really boils down to three but... overall favorite is probably the Duesenberg Model J we rode in earlier. It's sheer beauty, raw power, and just an unbelievable overall car. A real work of art and really America's first super car in many ways due to its sheer torque and power in that straight-eight. But a close second and third are my Pierce-Arrow Model 1603 V-12 and my Daimler De-36. The Arrow because I really have a thing for those luxurious and powerful cars, and the Art Deco design is to die for, and the Daimler for its sheer beauty and rarity.

: stripetail: personal timeline. I'm constantly traveling on magical business, and that brings me in contact with many many folks.  Despite all my travels theres still much of the cosmos I have not yet seen. Fortunately i have all the time I need so eventually i will see most of the places i have not seen yet.

 Zula: How did i survive? i was outside of the city when it went off. caused my car to die in the middle of the street.  it felt like a wave  sweeping away all in its path. i got lucky, those closer toe Lanthae were not so lucky. i think the death toll was 250000 or something like tsat. Really really high. and many people were just vaporized so there was nothing to ID them. i just got very very lucky that I  beat the clock getting out of there, had i left even 10 minutes kater. well we wouldnt be having this discussion.  The reason i left was because my boss at the clinic had opened a new clinic in a another city and I was one of the lucky ones , er ' chosen To help him set up. Musa was tagging along with me that day.  she screamed really loudly as the pulse hit us. i had ringing in my ear for  several days after that. She was scared, we both were. we ended up walking the rest of the way. it was a scene out of War of the worlds or something. dead cars strewn about, a huge mushroom cloud spreading into the heavens in the distance. fires burning everywhere.  It was almost beyond description.

Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: Nick22 on April 25, 2019, 08:08:19 PM
Zula: well i wouldnt say i've dated bianca. at this point in that story, shes a roommate. nice,. but not  full relationship with her, yet. we'll have to see where things go. with mukua, its a full on relationship. so if i had to pick, it would be mukua simply because that relationship is fully established.
 Brosadstreet: i have not followed the news that closely, i must admit. too busy wioth work. As for what Echo has been up to, well, she never was one for rules, perhaps that is why she and i did not get on in lanthae. still she is a survivor, and if if my years fighting crime has taught me anything, you need survivors on the force. if i do run into her, i'll buy her a drink.
Emilena, do you think about your time in Lanthae at all?
Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on April 25, 2019, 08:24:20 PM
Emilena: All the time. It feels like a different life, like I'm not even the same person who once walked those streets in uniform. Since then my life has occasionally been easy, and other times my life has been happy, but the LPD was the one place where life was both. Now the city doesn't exist, I have a criminal record a mile long, and people across the planet know my name. I don't think I could ever go back to policework even if they somehow allowed it.

Kora, are you polyamorous like Marita, or were the sleepovers a phase?

Zula, what are your first impressions of Tony and Emilena? Which do you prefer more?
Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: Nick22 on April 25, 2019, 08:41:52 PM
Kora: a very good question. Maritas has been more- shall we say- open   about such things as shes gotten older. the sleepovers likely opened her eyes to these things.i wouldnt call them a phase, exactly, as i found out i liked my friends a lot, and we didnt mind making out with each other  with regularity. remember Marita has gone her own way since high school, and its lead her to be the lady she is. had she come with me out west, things would be very different, between us and for her specifically. 
for me, having any number of lovers beyond 1 is very hard, because its a balancing act, the more people you involve, the more balls in the air so to speak, the harder all that becomes. i would say that a 3way relationship is the furthest i'd ever go, and only if the 3 of us were completely committed to each other. you can't have ' side action ' if that kind of relationship is going to work. right now, i'm single, because my work takes precedence over my love life.

 Zula: i just met them so its hard to say which i like better. guests are guests, as far as I am concerned. we'll have to see as i get to know them, whether i like them or not.
 Emilena, if broadstreet offered you a job, would you take it?
Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on April 25, 2019, 09:38:53 PM
Emilena: Broadstreet would never offer me a job. My back hurts when I wake up in the morning, my muzzle has turned gray. I'm missing chunks from my ears and tail, and my eyesight isn't what it used to be. I have tinnitus from years of firing unsilenced firearms. If he were to offer me anything, it'd be a pity job behind a desk, and I don't live to be pitied. I want Broadstreet to remember me as I was, not as the shriveled husk I'm aging into.

Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: Nick22 on May 09, 2019, 03:25:18 PM
Marie: hmm there was one fling with a cheetah named masabi. we worked together in college prior to me finding work at the electric sheep, it ws a nightclub called wild dreams. no it was not a strip club despite the suggestive title, she was a DJ i ws an announcer when music was played. she wwas a couple years younger that me, and at first the relationship was platonic. then  her apartment got broken into and trashed, by some dweebs loking for anything they could pawn to fuel  their nightcrawler habit.

nightcrawler is one of the few drugs that are as dangerous as biproxytol, it affects the brain and makes you completely delusional, it can easily kill you by making you think you can fly. anyway i let her stay with me for awhile until we could recover most of her stuff- which we eventually did, the guys that did it were found unconscious in a street corner a few days later. they were saved by doctors and are now spending the rest of their lives tin a detox facility. noghtcrawler takes a LONG time to weed out of the system.
 anyway masabi became roomates with me and it was, about a month after she moved in, that she and i kissed for the first time. i had noticed her looking at me with strange looks for some time up to then. and well that first kiss led to us having sex that night, and we segwayed into a very nice relationship. masabi introduced me to her folks who were lawyers at a high powered law firm that specialized in protecting celebrities from their screwups. they made buttloads of money, minimum fee to get them to represent you was 100 million creds. and there were cases where they earned 10 billion creds foir a case. . masabi would inherit a ton of money when she turned 18. her folks were nice to me, and didnt care that their daughter liked tits instead of dick. all in all it looked like i was set to have a very nice life. i had a loving girlfriend, i got a big raise at the club , and my follks approved of masabi whjen i introduced her. in fact my mom asked us f we had  a wedding date set.

 you're probably wondering how i ended up in the black sheep. well. wild dreams got burned down by arson in our senior year, and masabi inherited her money. now she could buy whatever she wanted, and she stared going on long extended shopping sprees. i had lost my job when the cluib burned down and was forced to lean on masabi more and more for rent. it started to strain our relationship , because try as i might, none of the other clubs were hiring. finally i landed the job at the black sjheep and immediately realized it was a strip club. well, thats not something you casually discuss in conversation, so i kept that hush hush from both my folks and hers. the money, i think changed masabi. it often does. from a sweet caring and bubbly personality, she became someone who only cared to burn through 100s of thousands of creds each night by clothes and bling. she also.,, found another cheetah named unca, and i walked in on them making love  on the coach after coming home from the black sheep. unca was a cheetah who had recently lost her job at the sheep, so i had recognized her and she recognize me. lets just say, we had words when i interrupted their 'freaky fast' grinding. we had started growing apart before this but this really set things in motion. unca was really just using her because she was so loaded - this girl had to have at least 1  billion creds at that point-  and i was hurt because i had been with masabi for nearly 4 years at this point. i could have easily blabbed to her folks about this fling, and they would have likely responded by cutting down her income significantly. but i decided to keep things in house. in hindsight that was a mistake.

 i think looking back that the only way to save our relationship would have been  to ask for help from my folks and hers, an intervention if you will. but i was young and trying to make things work on my own. well, that failed. on the night of our 5 year anniversary. masabi sat me down and told me she was breaking up with me, because it wasnt fun to be with me any more. she moved out a couple days later, and that was pretty much it. she didnt give me any money to help with my rent  or anything. her folks got in touch with me once after that, basically apologizing for the dumping and the way masabi had treated me for the last year plus. her father sent me a few thousand creds and his card and promised that if i ever needed anything from him to call him. i never have, although i still have that card. her mother  ran into me a couple years ago in the middle of the street. she recognized me, greeted me warmly enough,  and told me that masabi had overdosed on nightcrawler.  she survived, barely but would be in detox for the rest of her life, basically.. once, i would have been heartbroken to hear that, but that way everything had ended had tainted nearly all my memories of her. i've never discussed masabi with rose, or marita or anybody. think of this as my confession to the local priest.

At my high school, you had people rocking blue hair, glowing skin, e-tats, basically whatever cosmodics they could afford. And of course, the rich ones who had functional augs. Like me. Wasn't rich but I managed to spaghetti up a reciever out of some spare parts. It wasn't implanted but I hid the wires pretty well. But in college, I managed to get a proper radio horn implanted and the best part is they managed to get it to work with my old one.


As for upgrading it? Fuck yeah! Matter fact, Dr. Zheng's got a new version with improved decryption, better signal processing and even jamming capabilities. Granted the jammer requires me to wear a "tiara" that supplies additional power to the jammer but hey, can't have it all.

Emilena - Have there been cases that disgusted you so much you just killed the perps instead of bringing them in?


Stripetail - How far can you teleport?


(OOC - Spaghetti as a verb is an ITB slang term for throwing something together. It comes from the term spaghetti code, meaning unorganized, messy...and pretty much unrepairable code.)

Emilena - Have there been cases that disgusted you so much you just killed the perps instead of bringing them in?

Emilena: Unfortunately, 10-67s are extremely scrutinized, and I got into policework after they invented infallible body cameras. I only have one case (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AfM10Dh8Lo30rxrzUTRtjzgpMOCOoBBY_4vdIbgrN-I/edit#bookmark=id.pferfkobexen) where I killed a suspect who wasn’t threatening me, and it led to me losing my badge, with mandatory probation when I finally earned my way back on the force.

The warden of my old orphanage had died suddenly, and I was sent to investigate. My last days as a ward in Nature's Heart had been unpleasant; I’d discovered that the warden’s son, a disgraced medical student, was experimenting on orphans, altering their brain chemistry to make them docile. The cops saved my life when he tried to kill me, and I thought he’d been permanently imprisoned without bail.

So imagine my surprise when I returned as an adult and met him back at Nature’s Heart, the new warden in his mother’s stead! Apparently he’d behaved, apologized, and doe-eyed his way to an early release. Well, with some sleuthing around the premises and assistance from the orphans, I discovered he’d gone right back to his old ways, and his mom had died trying to stop a young boy from escaping their basement lab. I wasn’t interested in letting him dodge justice again, so I walked into his office and shot him in the face. And then I turned in my body cam, went to jail for murder, and met a lot of other people I’d put behind bars. But that’s another story...

James Zanasiu, before the events of the RPs, what was the most dangerous experience of your life?

Tony, any idea what's become of Cavanaugh? He survived the first RP but hasn't been seen since.

Awe, Tony, what's your favorite weapon? If it's a gun, why do you prefer it over other firearms?

Awe: All depends on the mission. Short range I prefer a double barrel shotgun or a smg. For longer ranges I go for the fifty cal sniper or an assault rifle.

Emilena what are your favorite weapons?

Emilena what are your favorite weapons?
Emilena: Once upon a time, my favorite gun was the standard-issue police Glock. Low recoil, easy handling, and quick to swap out attachments (like a laser sight or silencer) if the situation called for it. But after going criminal, I found myself gravitating towards SMGs due to being powerful yet concealable. My weapon of choice when drug-running was a Mac-10. After becoming wealthy, I did my research and purchased a Glock 18C with extended magazine, which comes with a full-auto toggle and feels like the best of both worlds. Too bad I left it in my goddamn apartment when visiting Tony at the bar...

Outside of firearms, I have trained extensively with improvised slings, mostly out of necessity. I seem to find myself captured and stripped of gear depressingly often, and sometimes a strip of cloth is the only defense I can cobble together in an emergency. Plus it can double as a garotte in melee combat. I'm also pretty handy with a taser since it was the only weapon I could use while on probation after going to prison (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AfM10Dh8Lo30rxrzUTRtjzgpMOCOoBBY_4vdIbgrN-I/edit#bookmark=id.hliscnfgb6u2) late in my police career.



Awe, do you have any other experiences completing missions underwater? Alternately, what's the weirdest place you've had to pull off a hit?

Post by: f-22 "raptor" ace on May 20, 2019, 02:26:18 AM
Awe: Yep. I've done many an underwater mission. As for the weirdest place I've pulled off a hit that's a tricky question I've pulled off many a hit. but the strangest would probably be when I had to disguise myself as a waiter in a... *ahem* well let's just say not the kind of restaurant you bring your kids to.

Oscar: Hmmm... Oscar jr.

Rudyard: You fucking wouldn't.

Oscar: Why not? Oscar's a great name.

Rudyard: Yeah, Dad picked it from grandpa. So logically, if you're keeping the pattern, you would pick John (https://darwinssoldiers.fandom.com/wiki/John_Shelton).

Oscar: OK, well, if you're so good at names, what would you have picked?

Rudyard: Terrance (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=4135.msg125782#msg125782). He was our assistant for years and died protecting us during the terrorist invasion; without him, I might be dead and you'd never have existed.

Oscar: Humpf. I guess that's true.



Awe, if your employer told you to assassinate your current party members, would you do it? And who would you kill first to maximize your chances of success?

Stripetail: how far can I teleport? well to be honest I've never really tested the limits of how far I can magic myself, suffice it to say i can magic myself pretty much wherever I need to go. normally, i prepare myself before teleporting far distances, as it wouldnt do to find yourself magicked into an active firefight  and find you dont have any food provisions with you- or armor for that matter. Had that happen to me once,  what i had thought was a peaceful neighboring country, turned out instead to be in the grips of a brutal bloody struggle for power. all i had on me was my staff some Aestorican coin, and a guide to the capital city which was some 15 years out of date. It was a mess getting out lets put it simply. 


 Zula: Well i took a gun training course this one time. Couple weeks of using a gun, and well afterwards i decided guns was not the thing for me. For one thing, i"m a really bad shot. I think i hit the target just 3 or 4 times despite dozens of attempts and never hit the center target at all. So I'll leave firing guns in the hands of others if  at all possible .

 Emilena, while on the force did you ever have a partner?
Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on July 05, 2019, 11:59:02 PM
Emilena: I never got a partner during my regular duties, since I was never promoted past junior officer. While on probation, (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AfM10Dh8Lo30rxrzUTRtjzgpMOCOoBBY_4vdIbgrN-I/edit#bookmark=id.5b0b3g5cuhfx) I was forced to accompany Lt. Reins on his cases, but he treated me more like an assistant. Honestly, my street contact Nairda was the only person who ever wanted to work with me as an equal, which was why I'd often ask for his help on cases. If only I'd known just how 'equal' we really were, I could have stopped our relationship from going further than that...

Kora, are you in a committed relationship right now? What are your romantic preferences?
Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: Nick22 on July 18, 2019, 11:43:55 AM
Kora: no, not in a committed relationship right now, as my work takes up the vast majority of my time. as for my romantic preferences, i want someone whos loyal, who understands me, and doesnt mooch off me.  in honesty, i havent really looked for anyone, because again, demands of job.
 Emilena, what weas the toughest job you ever had to do while in the force?
Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on July 19, 2019, 02:35:08 AM
Emilena: I've been on multiple life-threatening cases, and have had to make a lot of tough life-or-death decisions, but the Salida case (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AfM10Dh8Lo30rxrzUTRtjzgpMOCOoBBY_4vdIbgrN-I/edit#bookmark=id.qc1m3z78j28i) is the only one that left a long-lasting psychological impact on me. It involved a fellow graduate of the Growth Acceleration program and an elderly couple that took advantage of his underdeveloped physiology to regress him back to an infantile mental state. They thought their tactics would work on me as well, and I had to spend days strapped down in their pitch-black basement while they tried to 'convert' me back into a kid. I had to rely on psychological tactics to drive the couple against each other and orchestrate my opportunity to escape. It worked, but for months after that I slept with the lights on...

Actually, shoutout to that other time I got kidnapped, when I had to survive for over 24 hours in the Rainsford Shrublands. (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CxTpCVvpEzqQlGryTFep5cxn3nHHVbrBs3wUlMHWu2M/edit) I was investigating an eco-terrorist gang led by Hania Enapay, that nutjob who I heard Soren and Axel tussled with in Cornova. He was a real piece of work...they came to my apartment, strangled me (they thought to death), and dumped my body out in the middle of nowhere. I managed to track them through the wilderness and we all played cat-and-mouse for a bit, and it ultimately led to the deaths of his whole gang in an all-consuming wildfire. Too bad for that landscape you were trying to protect, Hania.

Werner, if you had known Pomson would end up killing you, would you have done anything different regarding your whole relationship with her?

Awe: Well it would all depend on the circumstances, but if anything I'd take Tony out first to limit their resources.

Werner: I'd probably not have gotten so wrapped up in working on the cure and spent a bit more time with her. I think that it was my putting all my focus on the cure that drove her away from me. Turned her cold to everything I blame more myself than her.

Rudy what are your thoughts on Werner falling in love with and ultimately being killed by the daughter of Halsey?
Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on July 20, 2019, 10:33:21 PM
Rudyard: I'd have never supported it if I'd been informed about him returning to the desert settlement in the first place. They tried to kill all of us in Pelvanida, they're self-described terrorists for god's sake. Kerzach and I were still undercover in Dragonstorm at the time Werner and Hans left James' team, and I can't believe everyone just let our friends drive off to die in that settlement. Werner was too kind-hearted for his own good and should not have risked his life trying to help them; those were not well-adjusted people and I blame all of them for his death.

Emilena: I don’t like music with lyrics; they distract me. I tend to listen to the instrumentals from musicals that inspire me, like The Scarlet Pumpernickel, Chess, or Sweeney Todd. I like storylines involving a lone wolf protagonist who’s willing to break all the rules to chase a worldview that normal people wouldn’t agree with.

Emilena, do you have any favorite movies?  Young frankenstein is one of mine..

Emilena: Cloud Atlas is the only film I saw as a child. When I was young and lived in the orphanage, I once found a remote somebody had left out and watched the airplane edition of it on a television in the staff room. To be fully honest, Nurse Noakes probably had a bit too much of an influence on how I turned out as an adult...

Kora, how are you taking the discovery that your old friend works at a psionic research facility full of test subjects with strange powers? And what's your opinion of the whole Sartonic situation from a scientific perspective?

Neku from Around the Folf, what are your first impressions of Sharal'tar?
Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: Nick22 on March 15, 2021, 10:58:12 PM
Kora: well, marita always had a knack for turning up in unexpected places. so having her involved in scientific research in some capacity is not THAT surprising. theres always the ' I gotta eat' part of any job.  As for Sartonic, research and pushing boundaries is always a worthwhile endeavor. after all, we wouldnt have gotten to the moon without research. and money. Lots of that.
as for how they go about it.. well thats another matter. For example  there are better ways of obtaining DNA samples from Flora then having her make out  with someone until she gets ' perked up'. i don't blame her, or Emma, they did as they were told, and heavens knows that Marita and I weren't exactly innocent  at that age either. I'm just saying Sartonic could have handled that better from an ethical standpoint.
 Sharal'tar: In your opinion, how is Marie doing so far, in term of adjusting to and controlling her powers?
Title: Re: Ask the Characters
Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on March 29, 2021, 05:25:59 PM
Sharal'tar: Phenomenally well. Remember, most of us have spent years training to improve our psionic abilities, while comfortably within the confines of a luxury research facility. Marie, in contrast, has had about a week of nearly getting killed in various death-defying ordeals, and hasn't recieved help or actual training from anyone. It's a testament to her willpower she hasn't cracked under the pressure of figuring out her new powers and surviving at the same time. I wish I had more of a personality for mentorship, but all I can say is I'm here and ready to help her anyway I can.

Marita, Rose, and Marie: It's been a long time since you lived in Lanthae and Corona, and a lot of people have disappeared from your lives. Are there any particular teammates from your old adventures who you miss and wish you could see again?

Rose: Zula the lioness, who we ran into a few times and who let me crash at her place during a undercover job I was in. She works as assistant at Chiang's lab, fixing and replacing cyber parts mostly. Long hours, pay is , ok, I guess. She teaches tennis to students, she's very good. The one time I played her, I think I won 1 or 2 points the entire match. Very nearly a ' golden match" which is, apparently a game where a tennis player doesn't drop a single point the entire match. Anyway, I would like to see her again in person. We text and call, but it's not the same as physically being there, you know,
Marita: I'd like to see what Axel has been up to. He's very busy from the brief blurbs that get in the news- some sort of charity work?
Marie: I would have liked to see what happened to Tony, you know, the guy with all the old cars that looked like they were straight out of the Batcave?
