Name: Jericho Mason

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Appearance:


Height: 5'7"

Weight: 150 lbs

Personality: Jericho is a cheery, pleasant, and cautious young man. A rookie on the force, he barely has a weeks worth of detail under his belt. Sharp, intelligent, and cunning, Jericho unfortunately lacks a lot of street smarts. He blindly puts his faith in authority and in his superiors, and truly believes that destroying the Children of Darkness will keep people safe. He has not met any thus far, but propaganda is a powerful tool, and has shaped Jericho since he was young. He is a very moral man, however, disapproving of theft, murder, hacking, and other serious crimes. His greatest wish is to protect and support his family and the many others in Domino City, though it is clear he has a lot to learn.

Bio: Jericho was born in the R&D ring to a wealthy family. His father was an inventor, his mother a pharmacist. Both were kind, upstanding citizens who raised their three children, Ramah, Nineveh, and Jericho. Ramah, the eldest brother, was sharp and sly, and took an interest in politics. Nineveh, the only daughter, was childish and longed to become and actress. And Jericho, the youngest, initially wanted to become an inventor like his father.

But things fall apart in Domino City, and not even the wealthy are safe from bad fortune. Jericho's father and mother were killed during an explosion that caused a small outbreak of the mutagen, and his sister Nineveh went blind from exposure. The incident was branded as a terrorist attack by Children of Darkness sympathizers, leading to a police crackdown. Ramah, now an adult, worked to take care of his younger siblings, securing a job as aide to a prominent politician. Nineveh was no longer able to support herself with her frail body, moved to the Political Ring with her older brother, and Jericho tried to pick up the pieces. Determined to not allow any other families be destroyed by mindless violence, he applied for a job as a security officer, eventually moving up from security to the main taskforce. Now, like many others, he works to hunt the Children of Darkness, believing them to be harmful terrorists or mindless monsters. Though inexperienced, he is highly determined, and values truth, honor, and security over power or freedom.

Skills: Having worked in his father's footsteps from a young age, Jericho has an astute knowledge of machinery and computers, particularly nano machines. He design his suit himself, going off of his father's initial designs. The suit he considers a prototype, hoping to improve it by field testing it on his missions. In addition, he is well versed in ancient religions, and considers himself a deist. He is aware of basic first aid, and has an average understanding of health and anatomy. His social skills, particularly with girls, could clearly use a touch up.

Tech: His armor is made of a network of self-replicating nano machines, who create a kevlar-like armor that can stop bullets, absorb kinetic and plasma energy, and is even water and fire proof. However, it is weak to electricity, and needs to recharge once every 48 hours, or the nano machines cease replicating. They are not fully immune to damage, and the suit can be broken or torn if there is enough stress. Generally, however, the nano machines replicate quickly enough to repair any damage to the overall suit. His nano suit also has camouflaging capabilities, though they can't hide his thermal signature. His suit can deactivate and retreat to a his belt, boots, and gloves for easy access and storage. The facial screen turns clear to show his face when speaking to others.

In addition, he wears a type of lens in his eye that acts as night vision, thermal vision, and facial recognition. The lens is so thin that it blends right into his iris, and is almost impossible to detect.

He wears an earpiece that acts as a phone, a video and voice recorder, and allows him to communicate with members of his team.

For weapons, he carries a standard issue plasma pistol, 2 stun grenades, an expandable electric baton, and a serrated combat knife, no mods. Because it's good to carry a backup in case all that tech fails.

Possessions:
- A bronze locket that he carries with him at all times, containing a holographic picture of his family.
- A "lucky" Captain Domino action figure he keeps in his locker.
-SeReNaI, or Self-Replicating Nano Intelligence. An artificial intelligence unit contained in a microchip in his collar that manages the programming and maintenance of the Nano Suit.

Other: Jericho is incredibly naive around women, having had little luck in talking to them outside his family and Serenai.
He also can't hold his liquor, and is scared of heights. Has a soft spot for small animals, children, pretty girls, and computers. He is on good terms with his brother, but suspects he's not always as honest or clean as he appears. Has a major sweet tooth.

Name: Gregor Cross

Age: 47

Gender: Male

Appearance:




Height:
5'9"

Weight:
166lbs

Personality: Gregor is a pragmatic man, not concerned with niceties or due process in favor of doing what is necessary for the good of the city. His morality is fairly questionable, willing to overlook a lot in the name of the greater good for folks, whatever that might be defined as. While not outright corrupt, he is flexible, and can often overlook a lot in favor of getting the bigger fish, as the saying goes. Sure, some small fry might be able to skip out, but get the big ones and the little ones are left without their grand leadership. He can justify just about any of his actions through clever wording and rather flexible definitions on the rule of law. It's never theft, just reallocation of resources for State use. Murder is resisting arrest, Gregor really has no problem with bending the rules to bring in the worst. Fight fire with fire, as they say.

Bio:
Gregor was born to a gang leader, his mother a clerk within the Police force who was used for her contacts and information she could feed to her husband to keep him out of reach of the police while living in above average housing, out of reach of the leaking barriers of the city. He was orphaned rather quickly when his parents were caught in an information exchange and killed in the crossfire, leaving him orphaned and growing up in such an orphanage before joining the police force, going through their academy at the young age of 18 years old. At first, he would be a model cop, upholding every law in the fullest and trying to be the model police officer for the force. But he kept running into red tape and never catching the important targets when so many small fish and sheer numbers of petty criminals got in the way of his work.

Gregor started bending in small spots, figuring he could stop after getting who he needed to get to. But it got surprisingly easier, letting the small ones slip by in return for getting better info on the bigger ones, and his ability to flex the rules only grew, as did his pragmatism, especially after undergoing the intensive operations and gene therapy to increase his speed and agility. Some might blame that program, but it was a long, steady slide down a dark and slippery slope that Gregor fell along. He wasn't corrupt to the point of ignoring any crime for the right price, but he was playing with the rules in a dangerous way, too far and he would be no better than the criminals that he was going after. And in regards to Children of the Dark, he had hunted his fair share, they were typically innocent of any crime except existing, but there was no lee way with them, so that was that. He reached a firm, but dead end, posting as a detective in the force, where he was happy to relax and work at, having plenty of freedom of operation to do what he saw fit to solve cases and hunt the Children when they cropped up.

Skills:
Close Quarters Battle
Tracking
Operating Technical Devices
Detective Work

Tech:
Genetic Overhaul Program - Gregor is one of the first successful graduates of the GOP, or Genetic Overhaul Program, which was implemented to give certain members of the force an edge over increasingly dangerous Children of the Dark that normal tech could not, alone, overcome. The program intended to enhance agility or strength through genetic conditioning, eliminating genes that negatively impacted these traits while promoting the growth of genes that did. The initial tests failed miserably, but in time, at least by the time Gregor enrolled, it was finally becoming reliable. Gregor has inhuman speed and grace, although his metabolism is far higher to make up for the increased energy consumption.

Domino City Police Department Armor - Gregor's personal variation on the DCPD uniform, primarily to compensate for, and make up for, the enhanced agility. The armor itself uses a unique hard plate design over the vital areas, with an impact gel weaved in between the plates to compensate for the kinetic energy of rounds as well as absorb the energy from attacks that burn through the plates. Ironically, rounds that are potent enough to punch through the plate aren't remotely affected by the gel layer. Beyond his body armor, he has external mechanical amplifiers that enhance his strength without affecting his agility in a fight, and can be disabled and detached without slowing him down, if need be. Lastly of unique note is his helmet, which covers multiple spectrums of vision as well as providing protection against gasses and other harmful effects aimed at visual or respiratory systems.

M4X Match Carbine - Gregor took a personally bought match grade carbine near the beginning of his career and has been retooling and improving upon it over the past twenty years. The open holographic sight on top provides a clear sight picture of anything he is aiming at, while not forcing him to tunnel vision on a single target, while the combined laser/flashlight on the barrel of the weapon can be changed out at a whim. The weapon's integral suppressor reduces recoil, flash, and sound by redirecting the gasses of the round, while utilizing an integral magnetic charger to recover from any losses normally caused by the suppressor. Each round is match grade armor piercing, and the recoil dampening system in the stock helps make the weapon surprisingly dangerous despite overtly appearing to be a moderately altered carbine.

Possessions:
Secure PDA
Pack of Cigars
Lighter
Keys to his patrol vehicle

Other: Practices a form of close combat that focuses solely on killing someone as fast as possible, with whatever he can get his hands on. Whether this means literally killing someone with their shattered arm, or otherwise, each move is designed to maximize damage, and minimize the amount of time spent in a fight.
