oops.

@Ashevelendar @Ollumhammersong
You guys still interested?

@SmileyJaws

This looks sick. I noticed your roleplay this morning and instantly got inspired to make a new character. Here he is, hope everything fits the bill!

@SmileyJaws Yep sorry. As my status says...got hit by a drunken driver...

I saw this not two days ago: Dystopian - Check, Cyberpunk - Check, Europe (the greatest place in the world) - Check. You sir, you had my attention, but now you have my interest.

This is still W.I.P., but I wanted to know if you have any problems so far.
BTW, read X as Henry, District XX is just a placeholder and ... is also a placeholder, again, W.I.P.


Name: Henry ...

Age: 33
Sex: Male
Gender: Male | He/Him
Notoriety +3

Appearance: X is a ... cm tall Caucasian male of athletic build. He has blue eyes, short brown hair, and light facial hair.

Personality: Over a decade of work as a mercenary has influenced X's personality: constant training, espionage and combat has defined the latter part of his life. Because of this, X has had to bury certain aspects of himself. The discipline required for his work has given him the ability to detach himself emotionally from the immediate situation in order to better assess his options and figure out the best way to achieve his objectives.

Though aware and confident of his abilities, X understands that even if he is a cyborg, he still is human and his survival more often than not has been a gift of chance. With no wish to die, X has no problem to refuse a job if he understands that it’s above his abilities, and by the same token, he has no problem refusing jobs purely based on ethics and his moral beliefs.

Good Trait – Bad Trait – Good Trait – Bad Trait

Bio: X grew up in a working class household in the eastern region of District XX. He had shown himself to be very intelligent from a young age, so it was no surprise to his family that after finishing school, X received scholarship and enrolled in the University of Tartu.

While studying at Tartu, X became aware of the radical movements that believed in and fought for the return of nationalism. Believing it to be a noble cause, X became a social activist. After graduating from the university, X moved to Riga, the capital of District XX and joined an underground radical cell. He quickly befriended the cell’s members and became loyal to the cause.

However, his support withered after the cell began using bombs in public places and performed bank heists to fund their cause. Sickened by what he had helped them do, X decided to distance himself from the movement and returned to his family in his hometown.

After a few months, he started drifting east into the states owned by Korporat18, specifically Siberia. While traveling in between the Siberian metropolises, X started to perform odd-jobs of various legality to support himself, with the skills he learned from his radical days proving to be useful. After arriving to Vladivostok, X officially became a mercenary and worked there for about a year. It was around this time, that X learned that most of the Cell he fought with was wiped out by the EPA.

After earning enough credits, X decided to migrate into Japan and he lived there for about four years until his return to Europa. He first lived in Osaka, but then moved to Akakawa and, later, Neo-Tokyo. While he was mostly hired by the Japanese gangs in the beginning, X soon started working for numerous private corporations. After moving to Neo-Tokyo, X began receiving augmentations and became a cyborg (in the lightest sense of the word).

Somewhere around this time X decided that he wanted to go back to Europa. He returned to District XX around two years ago and now resides in Riga. While he provides his mercenary services in Europa, he may be sometimes hired to work abroad.

District: DST-XX-EAST

Weapon(s): Let’s keep it relatively low-key for the beginning at least, you’ll be told if you’ve gone too far.

Armour: A picture and/or written description of your characters armour, gear or clothing.

Cybernetics: When X originally lived in Europa he had a neutral stance on cybernetics and augmentation. But after moving to Neo-Tokyo, however, he was overwhelmed by the large bodyhacking and pro-augmentation culture that made the city the world capital of cybernetics. Soon, with access to the newest cybernetics from all over the world, X saw the advantages of augmentations and became a cyborg with some low-level implants.

Gecko Hands – A rare military-grade augmentation designed by Nova INC, X managed to procure them through a favor.

The skin on X’s palms has been replaced by a smooth skin-like material that, when stimulated by X, instantly shape shifts into a modified pattern based on the skin found on Gecko’s feet. It’s highly adhesive properties allow him to stick his palms onto any surface without the fear of them slipping off.

... eye –

Smart Blood – A nano-technological implant where microchips, called nanobots, have been injected into X’s bloodstream.

In their current, most basic, state, they can be used to monitor his vital signs. However, they can be also upgraded to be able to inject substances, like medical drugs and cognitive or performance enhancers, or perform surgeries from within the body, giving X a self-healing ability.

@Doc Doctor
Haha, what a cool, quirky character, can't wait to see him in action. Stick it in a hider tag and throw it in the character tab, accepted.

@Ashevelendar
Jfc. Glad to see you're ok and still with us, sorry about that happening to you, I was knocked off a bike by a drunk driver before, ain't no fun. Character's accepted, hider tag it and stick her in the character tab.

@Sifter
Alrighty. I like what I'm seeing so far, when it's finished I'll give you an answer, make sure to stick it in the color coding for uniformity, there's a copycode on the front page! Interesting guy from first glance.

@Ashevelendar

I hate drunk drivers. IMO, when some asshole gets into a motor vehicle while intoxicated, he's in the process of attempting murder.

Glad you didn't get hurt too bad by the mofo.

@SmileyJaws@Doc Doctor Thanks for the kind words :) My back hurts and have some bruises, nothing more but I was still held up in the hospital for two days tho' ( I hate hospital food :| ).

@Doc Doctor

The worst man, it's bad enough they're too thick to realize they're putting themselves in danger let alone potentially harming or killing someone else. Selfish fuckers. haha.

@Ashevelendar

Hospital food is stink. ;p Good to hear there's no serious injury, did the guy stop?

@SmileyJaws Amazingly yes he did. He helped me up and all that but the funny thing was that a police car was parked right near the place where he hit me so he couldn't "buy" my silence as most people try to do when in a situation like this.

Haha damn, I would have taken the money and walked myself to hospital haha. @Ashevelendar

Edit: I think we might be ready to start the IC soon enough, I'll try get something written up tonight.

@SmileyJaws Yeah. I would've done it too myself xD

@Ashevelendar That's an impressive post:day ratio you have there haha. Where do you spend most of your time here?

@SmileyJaws Thanks ! :)

I started writing alone when I was still a kid ( 11 years old ) and when I found out that I could write with others...I was amazed. It's my first time when I try to RP in this fashion tho' ( play-by-post ) but as I had so much RPing energy in me ( I took a 3 year pause in RPing ) that when a friend invited me to the guild...I simply exploded. I wrote at almost every RP I could find xD Also. Those posts only count forum posts. If PM would count that number would've been higher as all my 1x1 RPs are wrote in PMs.

Nice. aha, just stick your CS in a hider tag and pop it in the character section, I have you on the approved characters. {:

@Ashevelendar

@SmileyJaws Done. Sorry for the wait ^_^

@Ashevelendar No worries. {:

Okay, I've started doing up the IC side of things a little, we'll look to start tomorrow because I just want to give those who still haven't finished CS' a chance to catch up. If not they can do so while the RP starts. Also, I posted some music, just a little side thing that I find is good to get the inspiration going for the atmosphere.

Looking forward to starting with you guys.

@SmileyJaws - I finnaly, finnaly finished it! What do you think?

Subdermal Implants [+]

Bionic Eye – Henry has replaced his left eye with a visual prosthesis that comes with an Heads-Up Display which allows digital information, like his vital signs using

The bionic eye can be upgraded to show more digital information (for example, analyzed information about enemies) on the HUD, a zoom-in feature and support of Night Vision, Infrared Vision and Sonar.

Cochlear Implant - A subdermal implant that sends incoming audio transmissions directly into the Henry's ear canal, eliminating any need for headphones or earpieces.

Laryngophone Implant - A type of contact microphone that uses two sensors implanted into the Henry’s neck to absorb vibrations directly from his throat, eliminating any background noise.

The sensors can be updated to pick up "subvocal" tone ranges, in other words, the microphone can pick up Henry’s inner voice.
