[hider=Alto Ganze][b]Name:[/b] Alto Ganze [b]Alias(s):[/b] Bio-Weapon [b]Age:[/b] 22 [b]Affiliations:[/b] Corporate, Illegal Stuff Pty. Ltd. [img]http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/059/e/1/anime_boy_render_by_kiritowaifu-d78eg9u.png[/img] [b]Description:[/b] He now ties his hair up in a ponytail most of the time because his hair got pretty long. He also keeps his hair out of his face with hair pins. In public, he always wears a lab coat fully buttoned up that would seem a little bit too large for him. When out of the eyes of the public, he wears a red version of the above jacket instead. The sleeves are normal and he now wears a full glove over his right hand as well as the fingerless glove on his left and he keeps spares for both of them in his pockets. [b]Powers:[/b] Alto’s actual power is that he is able to program everything that is programmable as if it was a natural thing to him. His power makes programming second nature, and can also be extended to hacking. Normally that would put him at about A rank still, but then there’s the robot arms. One day (which will be explained in history), Alto got a robot arm. A bunch of stuff happened (which will be explained in history) and now he can use it as an extremely potent weapon. The arm is in fact a symbiotic life form which latched onto Alto because of his actual power. The arm seems to run on a mysterious kind of energy which cannot be separated from the arm and can only be used by the arm itself. The energy levels seem to increase over time. Alto currently has two robot arms, and both of them have immense power. His left arm, which he named Theo, is able to use and manipulate its latent energy directly while his right arm, which he named Con, is currently only capable of making constructs out of something resembling black steel. His basic physical abilities are also boosted to the point of becoming a super-human, but Alto can turn this on and off as he wishes. Presently, he is also able to physically manifest the personas of his arms as energy constructs. Presently he has a massive number of programs and protocols which he can use to adapt to an innumerable number of situations. He also currently has a secret weapon. Also, (I forgot to mention this all that time ago) his arms can act as a direct interface between him and any programmable machine meaning he can hack just about anything.

If anyone asked him why he would say it was because he wanted to have a robot arm someday that could do a rocket punch. Later in life he would discover that by the time his dreams were made a reality, he would be pretty old and he wouldn’t get to enjoy it. Regardless, he threw himself into research and he had many findings on robotics, prosthetics and similar things. Eventually, he got bored of researching such mundane things, but he couldn’t research rocket powered robot arms because the industry didn’t see any use in it and wouldn’t fund his research. Having run into such a roadblock on the way to his dream, he wearily resigned himself to weeping bitterly (not really weeping but you know what I mean) to himself as he thought about what could’ve been. Until that is, it happened. On the night before his 16th birthday, he wished on a shooting star that his birthday present would be a robot arm that at least shot lasers or something. As he was sleeping, the shooting star turned around and started plummeting towards the earth. When he woke up, there was a smoking crater next to his bed and his left arm had been turned into a sweet ass robot arm. Before he even got up however, it started playing a pre-recorded message in his mind. [b]“This is a pre-recorded message for the bearer of this life-form.”[/b] The message said. [b]“You have no doubt found that you suddenly have a limb that has been changed into a robot arm. If this inconveniences you, then I sincerely apologize but this is necessary for my race’s survival. I am the last of my kind, so I sought a way to further our species again. I found that we were once made, and I thought perhaps we could be made again. Your planet had the most promise of being able to recreate us, so I have been orbiting the planet seeking the best candidate for the task. Now the task falls on you, I have depleted myself in my travels, and I must enter hibernation.”[/b] With that, the arm became inert, and his mind immediately filled with questions such as [i]can it shoot lasers?[/i] and, [i]can it do a rocket punch?![/i] He would find out in the following year that yes, it can shoot lasers and no it could not do a rocket punch. He also found out that the arm actually was an organic life-form. It had formed some sort of symbiotic relationship with his left arm which apparently still existed but was not part of his actual arm. He found this out by taking a look into its programming and that’s when he found out his actual powers of programming. There was a recharge program running in his arm and looking at the code he somehow knew that the life-form was somehow recharging itself using his left arm which was now somehow in another dimension. He didn't really understand that either. [hr] After five years, Alto has stopped his research on the Bio-Weapon as now that it is conscious, it can simply tell him everything he needs to know. But, due to the fact that Aperture was utterly destroyed, his science and engineering skills have been in high demand over the 5 years since the Raid. The Government granted him funding to continue his research on robotic limbs and create his own company, and even let him design some weaponry as well. Other than that, he has made several breakthroughs in the field of prosthetics. Mostly in the fields of the physical responses and feedback of prosthetic limbs, but if you asked him what they were, he wouldn't know because; "There are so many other people who know, I don't bother remembering." The government and the public are unaware of the true nature of his arms, as he doesn't truly show their full power to many people and he doesn't talk to them in the presence of people he doesn't trust. He is also secretly manager of a mercenary team, and goes around the underworld calling his group Illegal Stuff Pty Ltd. It's safe to say he doesn't get taken very seriously a lot of the time. But for those who have used his services, he has an unbeaten track record, especially in the field of hacking. He is also capable of pulling off bank heists, espionage and other similarly illegal things by himself, even though Illegal Stuff pty Ltd. is technically a team.[/hider][/hider] [hider=Sefia Ganze] [b]Name:[/b] Sefia Ganze [b]Alias:[/b] Bladestorm [b]Age:[/b] 18 [b]Affiliations:[/b] Works part time for Illegal Stuff Pty. Ltd. [b]Description:[/b] [hider=sort of like this][img]https://ianacerise.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/ninja-girl.png[/img][/hider] She usually has at least three swords with her at any given time. Out of costume, the swords are invisible and she wears regular casual clothing. [b]Powers:[/b] Sefia is able to control a certain number of floating swords which she can also teleport to and turn invisible. That's just about it really... [b]Skills:[/b] Silent movement, assassination, triple sword fighting [b]Equipment:[/b] Dem swords, one robot arm [b]Ranking:[/b] C [b]Brief History:[/b] Little is known about who Sefia used to be. What was known was that she was a ruthless, yet relatively unknown assassin who had never failed an assignment before. She could take down targets without being seen, but that is a relatively common skill in the world of Meta assassins really so she wasn't that well known. Her life changed the first time she failed a mission. She had been assigned to protect a private vault as word had gotten out that someone had been hired to steal from it. She was assigned to the inside of the vault in case intruders got past the rest of the security, but what she didn't know was that Alto Ganze was the one raiding the vault. Instead of directly assaulting or infiltrating the vault, Alto cut the vault in half with his laser. Unfortunately, her arm was also cut off and she fainted due to blood loss. Alto picked her up (as in literally), on his way out of the vault, mainly because he hadn't meant to cut her arm off and he felt bad about it. She then seemed to disappear for about a year. It is unknown what transpired in that year, but later she emerged as an adopted daughter of the Ganze family (as in Alto's parents) and she also seemed to have gained a new robot arm and a new personality somehow. She lives separately from Alto and his parents (Alto and his parents are in different houses as well) and works part time for his company sometimes. She is also now studying for a university degree. [b]Other:[/b] Sefia and Alto are technically brother and sister now but they don't act like it because it doesn't feel like it.[/hider]
