Oooo Danny & MST! Nice to see you two, this'll be a treat. <3 & thanks a bunch.

Anyways. Now that my headache has alleviated, I'mma catch up on this shit and finish my crap finally.

Ha, cold weather. Down south where I unfortunately live, this bi-polar weather is just ridiculous. Hot one day and the next it drops to freezing.
Not complaining though, I fucking love the cold.

simone archambault
[see-moan are-chem-bolt]
ᴛᴡᴇɴᴛʏ ғɪᴠᴇ [x] ғᴇᴍᴀʟᴇ


ᴘᴇʀsᴏɴᴀʟɪᴛʏ |
Selfish | Vain | Manipulative | Verbally abusive | Cynical | Rough

Shut it down, decimate the already disintegrated cognizance of herself, rebuild upon what the world [they] want you to be. Because a desiring mind, a selfless reflection, and a kindly heart will get you killed. Simone Archambault is a contemptuous manipulator of public conceptions and perseverance. With a shouldered distrust and selfishly taxed heart covered in a film of ruby sin and ice, she is a compiled [broken] figure on the faceted surfaces of a shattered jewel that was forced to polish and shine and gleaming and she smashed it under her heel deliberately. Initial impressions are forever shadowed and hidden under the fact that Simone is a tad unapproachable, be this a rumination on extraction and prestige or something more personal in terms of how others tolerate her is unknown, but with her sort of stance and figure it is just better to assume her into the gathering of reflecting appellations.

She’s a bitch.
She uses people.
She’s Simone.

There are, however, only miniscule amounts of pleasurable association with Simone during random intervals and rare occurrences of when she’s basking in the euphoria of psychological assaults on the criminalized mind. She’s a scholar in human natures and expectancies, she’s a harsh demeanor wrapped in the fineries of opulent and yet unscrupulous dominions of family and she’s just simply better than everyone else in her own deduction. Vain incarnate and narcissistic in regards to her own visage and intelligence, she carries high expectations to peers and any associates deemed worthy enough to have her belittling personality and blustery towards representation of the self.

But in the underlining details of her soul is a deeper understanding and will to do whichever she simply has to which ties to her political, government associated and knowledgeable repertoire that leads impressions to a direct influence. Moral implications and opinionated curses in regards to preserving the human right to be free and without oppression doesn’t register in her calculating and debasing tendencies; she does things as she does for her own personal gain. Selfishness doesn’t smudge guilt or compassionated reflection in her laden heart full of garnet regrets and Simone thrives on her own hidden agenda.

It is in the events of her Erasure submission that her mind and heart is shoved into the risky, hellacious bitch that will tear down any who oppose her and leave behind a wake of authentic, and unadulterated carnage that simply gets the job completed without a shrug or care as to what remains. Her understanding of human nature and cynical presumptions regarding them is a balm to what she faces within the layered soul of someone deemed dangerous and unfortunate enough and to what she confronts in her everyday life without the mask of an Agent. Simone finds a twisted satisfaction in exposing the raw nature of their own damages and her persecution in regards to uncivilized individuals begets a sort of dark obsession.

Name: Xri S. T. Harley
Alias: Hystrix
Age: 43, born on Groundhog Day
Gender: Female, 47 XXX by karyotype

Appearance:
Phenotypically construed upon several desiccant mutations of ABCA12 within the chromosome locus 2q34, Xri's fissured skin and paretic absence of eccrine sweat glands instantly crescendo one's first visual grasp of her small, but aged, ichthyotic dermal demeanor. However, her ciliary obsession of an opaque spectrum and equally poised hatred of hyperthermia and dry wind has forced an entire closet dedicated to the color white, largely accosted with full body robes and hoods, all to mask her afflicted concrete-like complexion while simultaneously preventing rapid dehydration of her 4 foot, 7 inch frame. Ranging from mostly burqas to a few tank-tops, the plated clash of her dark Persian skin and hair against a blanched attire yields, in certain instances, a dancing yin-yang from afar, when in action. Whilst, up close, her supernumerary teeth shining through the ironed reveal of her cemented maxillary eclabium showcase a permanently contorted grimace that welcomes all intentions and companies, by both smiles and grits, conveniently and paradoxically shading, at times, her true intentions to proselytize.


Personality:
A much wanted criminal of the early 23rd century, Suri Tiram Harley, while unknowingly 10 weeks pregnant, earned the expectant wrath of the Caribbean and US governments. The silently orchestrated bounty was issued for two competing bureaucratic Erasures, to either extract or destroy her recently publicized musical compositions of psychopathic cryptography, social experiments that already had subconsciously inflicted mass hysteria in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, a week prior. These crafty fractal ballads, in essence, wormed their self-replicating patterns, via auditory intrusion, into a person's synapses, literally establishing a revolutionary serenade that neurons must recursively dance to, all the while spiritually evoking a graveyard spiral of anger, hatred, and disgust with life and its status-quo. The global media glorified itself as her next and only target, to mathematically sway the world-wide proletariat to a civil upheaval via broadcasted multivariate symphonies. Her intervening capture and exhaustive mental interrogations resulted in S.T.H.'s eventual brain-dead body to require full life support, allowing Agents to finally rape and reap unhindered any and every rebellious diapason from her desecrated soul.

Soon enough, mindful scavengers discovered another little drummer in their immersions, eventually resulting in her mother's rotting corpse, through extensive political debates, to continue to serve as a dysfunctional incubator for Hystrix, a classified project to birth a deformed babe with a hopeful heart towards a Machiavellian balance. Since said origin and engenderment as a ward of international states, Xri, through four decades of masochistic pedagogy, has cultivated a holy vision to exist simply as a pure antithesis to her previous villainous ancestry. Righteous legitimate suffering now drives her current gospel to breed a new race of Jungian precision; a ministry founded upon pursuing peace through necessary pain of the few to save the many, with she as the ultimate poster child. Thus, she unequivocally endorses the festering belief that these deranged and demented anomalies --- and those who propagate them --- must be erased.

Name: David (No recorded last name.)
Age: 30
Appearance


Gender: Male
Personality:
David's mentality is that of a born and bred soldier. Despite possessing a high level of intellect, his peers have always registered David as the type of tough guy that appears to be brought around for muscle more than anything else. Although real war doesn't exist anymore, there are plenty of "battlefields" that David has been to in the minds of the Psychopaths. It's due to the repeated stressful battlefields that David follows the philosophy of "Body, Mind, Soul" both in and out of his jobs. Fortunately, like most soldiers, David's also a bit of a secret pervert at heart. So a night out on the town with a few beautfiul women can easily help him "recover".

Work and pleasure are rarely ever mixed in David's decisions. He may be excited by a flash of toned leg or a glimpse of cleavage, but it will never influence his decisions when he's on the job. Being a professional also means knowing when to kill your emotions and David's considered himself a soldier for a long time. As such, he isn't afriad to do what's necessary for his teammates and is willing to make the sacrifices necessary to get the job done... no matter how cruel, heartless, or demonizing it may be.

Writing Sample:
"Yes, yes... And maybe said "beau" will meet with an untimely disappearance head first down a well or over a bridge. Remember, siostra, the world is not safe and wolves still cloak themselves in sheep's clothing." The retort was made in dismay towards the over friendliness his sister exhibited at times towards complete strangers. Roy did not enjoy the notion of standing out amongst his peers for one simple reason: It made it harder to do things unnoticed if he did.

'A meeting in the mess hall... sounds like just about every other day in the past. Though I wonder what will be different from this day as opposed to then?' Roy entertained the mild musing as the two siblings continued their trek to the usual spot. He stretched both of his arms out towards the ceiling before resting his hands behind his head while he walked. 'This is our first actual mission as a group... I probably should have actually paid attention to the others enough to have had some kind of reference to who they are and what their worth was.'

Roy tried to steal a glance at his sister, but was immediately caught and met with a smile in return. He immediately returned his glance to the mess hall entrance that came closer and closer.

'Oh well, it doesn't matter worrying about the past now. It is what it is.'

Entering the mess hall, Roy followed his sister's every step as if he were her shadow. The glances some of the men would occasionally make towards her were countered this way by Roy's own glare back. It wasn't meant to be intimidating, but no guy actually enjoyed being caught red handed with his hand in the cookie jar and Roy would not let any man get away with trying to 'taste' his sister be it physical, mental, or visual. Eventually their journey reached it's conclusion at the usual two seats they would sit at every day. He remained standing while he surveyed the area about him, taking note of his surroundings one last time before taking a seat next to his sister. The two men and woman in front of him weren't of much concern to him as the one who seemed agitated while standing in line. Supposedly all four of them were a part of the team, but anything beyond that was still a mystery. Which meant that, until they prove they could be trusted, Roy would be watching them. After all, his sister's protection was his first priority.

My god. The remaining sheets all posted on the same day. I could cry right now. This is unprecedented and utterly amazing in presentation.

@Rockette - Yes damnit, you're as poetically twisted as ever lol. I've come to enjoy the darkness of your characters and no better would they fit in an RP than this one. This is the sort of complex character I've desired to see in this RP(Not that no one else has provided me with that of course). What I mean to say is, Simone is sufficiently twisted enough that I can go ahead with plans I'd made just for such a character. True evil would be the phrase I'd describe her with after reading and to have her as part of the team will lead to some interesting conversations(considering we've got a 19 year old in tow and my bitter, aging Agent). Conversations with her will be fucking gold lol. Accepted.

@Gordian - Mother of fucking... I can't even finish the sentence. You've successfully blindsided me with your vernacular. Your writing, it's just... It's just a marvel to stare at lol. On the one hand, I wish I could even write a fraction as well, but on the other, I just seriously enjoy reading it multiple times trying to figure out all the hidden intricacies I've missed or any innuendos you've placed lol. I just cannot believe the level of penmanship you display, if you haven't ever written a book in your life, you need to do so.

And as usual, your character is wonderfully different to the established cast which an interesting origin and, no doubt an equally interesting view on the world. You already know I look forward to interaction with this one. Accepted.

@Ether - Long time, no see first off XD. I'd deny your picture if I didn't love Metal Gear so damn much hahaha. I find this character interesting in the fact that as duty-bound as he comes across, there are hints in the personality of layers that may be peeled back. I can see him developing several different ways due to the nature of Erasure we perform or an NPC that he meets which leaves a lasting impression. I think you're one of the only people who can create a standard soldier type character and have them still come across with a level of sophistication and hidden potential. I enjoy that feeling. Accepted as well.

Okay then! Now that these sheets have been posted, I am officially closing submissions and we will begin the IC very shortly(as in, I'm working on it now XD)! Some things to say before you guys get to writing that first post:

As I said earlier, none of these characters know each other. The circumstances of their meeting will be explained in the IC, but we're chronicling character development from the very beginning. Now, I'll say this; being in the same city, some of them may have heard of one another, but that would be as far as it goes. None of them have ever had the pleasure of a conversation or anything so this will be the first real time they've met one another.

For NPC characters, you guys can submit them to me via PM anytime. I also stress, submit them via PM. While the main cast should be seen in this thread, I want to keep each player-created NPC a secret until such a time as when they are introduced. At that point, I will add them to a new NPC section in the OP. These NPC characters will serve as psychopaths for the main cast to target at some point or another and become the subject of their own subplot. The creator of the character being used at the time will have full control over this NPC and will RP both their main and the NPC for the duration of the subplot, thus giving you the chance to play crazy(or innocent; they can be both) psychopath antagonists. Now, I know someone will ask so I'll answer prematurely - you may create up to two NPCs and only one can be for general use. This is meaning to say that in order to avoid a world filled with throw-away NPCs, I'm allowing each player to create one NPC that may not be a targeted as a psychopath and can come in later for other purposes. They can still have plot meaning, but I encourage to watch the course of the RP a bit before getting ideas about a general NPC can play a meaningful role. If you have any questions regarding NPC, I'll be more than happy to answer.

Again, you can make up any futuristic technology as you need it for your scenes. This is a fully sci-fi world in the year 2265 and many different kinds of advanced tech exist. The only thing I ask is that it has nothing to do with weapons of any kind. Future weapons never took off due to plot reasons in this world. After you read about the basics I will post about Future Chicago in the OP, you're free to invent whatever tech you'd like to showcase in the scenes you write. In this way, we're developing the world together and I think that'll be more fun than me just dictating what exists and what doesn't. You guys are creative too.

Alright, I think that's all I've got for the moment. If you have any questions, ask ask ask. Also, feel free to chat up the OOC about random shit if you wish, I don't mind at all(I encourage it actually lol). I'm working on this IC post now and it'll be up in a couple hours probably. I also know Dani said she couldn't post Thursday, so that's fine if you can't get to it today and tomorrow. Hope you guys enjoy the ride and also enjoy contributing to the branching narrative. IC will be up soon!

Then I have ultimately succeeded in what I set out to do!
Can't wait for that first post. I'm already jotting down snippets of potential narratives for Simone's introduction.

Also, in regards to the NPCs, I'll have them finished possibly by tonight or tomorrow.

Okay, so.
Does each agency branch operate the same: search and destroy, whatever.
Or does each specialize in particular sorts of talents and whatnot?

I guess this would depend on the character?

I'm sure that is the case but I just wanted clarification.

Actually, each branch operates the same way; receive orders on target, capture them, perform an Erasure. The reason there are multiple branches is because Chicago is now so massive that it requires it. One single branch can't handle the entire city.

We'll be delving into the specifics of Erasure itself when we get to the first target. Then you'll understand how your characters can specialize in certain tactics and what have you because if I explain it here, it will be a LOT of exposition.

Yep. Suffice it to say, I expect you guys to get a real Matrix like feeling when we hit the first Erasure. Speaking of, that's not too long off as I want to get to that immediately so you guys can see what goes into it and start planning accordingly.

This is wonderful, I'm so excited.

Sorry for being a little inactive in the OOC but I'll have my first post up either by Thursday or Friday. I've been a little busy towards the end of this month, but I should be pretty much free for most of February (aside from work) so I'll hit my stride and be more active!

(True Detective is an absolutely fantastic show, by the way.)

Also, from what I've gathered of what you envision this futuristic Chicago to be, it reminds me a lot of Bladerunners - just without the androids. Unless there are andrioids, which is cool.

Two things;

One, you like True Detective as do I. We are now best friends. Two, Bladerunner was awesome, but it's more an amalgamation of stuff like Bladerunner, Deus Ex, etc.

And I'm off from work, finally!

I'm sure we'll cover this shortly, but to give me warning, is the subconscious-invasion malarkey (which I gather is important in this xD) a physical thing (literally 'downloading' oneself into the subject's subconscious) or a shared dream type scenario (a la Inception)? Or something else?
