Lt. Kaczmarek is the ruthless spearhead of the Europa Policing Agencies ARU (Armed Response Unit). The lieutenant is not only a cunning strategist and master of tactics but also skilled in hostage negotiation. Often having to exert herself, the lieutenant stays in peak physical condition with an unforgiving workout regime. Proficient with many weapons, she's something of a marksman. With marksmanship a perishable skill when she is not looking after her physical attributes or on duty Kaczmarek can be found at the firing range, honing her ability. She is not like the typical movie cop, Kaczmarek is not a rebellious maverick - although has been known to make up her own rules - in a tactical environment there can only be one person in charge, the lieutenant knows this and relies on the precision movements, following her orders of any team she finds herself attached to. More than anything else, her strongest quality is her patience. Kaczmarek is not shy of lots of waiting around, or going home without having gotten any results although she has had her fair share of dynamic entries and dramatic take downs.

Name: Amenthis "Anima" Idolum Age: 27 Sex: Female Gender: Female Notoriety +3 Appearance: Anima is 1.92 meters high and has a slim build. Her hair has a metallic tint. She is always wearing something that obscures her face. Personality:
Bio: Anima, born Amenthis Idolum was born into a family of cops. Her parents and grandparents and most of her family were cops or studied law and became lawyers. Amenthis was not an exception, as soon as she was able to do so, she enrolled in the Police Academy and soon became a Police officer.
A year later, while on a case, her partner was killed by a gang and Amenthis, despite being told not to take on the gang alone and wait for backup, she went after them. They cornered her and gave her the beating that killed her or so that's what they thought it happened. The reality was that almost every bone in her body was broken and a few organs were beyond repair. Medics came and deemed her too far gone to do anything but a cyborg-specialist doctor decided to further her research on cybernetics and stole her body. Amenthis was declared dead to the public but she was kept alive by machines until her surgery began. 80% of her body was changed into robotic parts, only her hearth and brain remained human as those were the only ones not destroyed.
For two years, tests were run on Anima to be sure she was fully functional and she was but while Anima's brain was supposedly scrubbed clean of memories it didn't work and Anime remembered her old life. She understood that she couldn't present herself to her family like she and after killing the doctor and destroyed any evidence that would point out to her existence she disappeared.
A year later, Anima resurfaced and decided to put her skills as a cop and her new abilities to use as a bounty hunter.

Name: Oscar Van Cleef Age: 28 Sex: M Notoriety: +1 Appearance: Standing at 5'10'' is Oscar Van Cleef, a man who is apparently unable to keep a clean shave with unkempt, earth-toned hair and beard. Bangs regularly touch at his eyebrows and all around tend to curl upward naturally. He is fit due to years of some type of hard work, though his fitted suit and tie will hide his otherwise rough stature. Oscar's skin is bronzed, and his demeanor showing nothing but patience. He prefers a black suit when nothing threatens his wardrobe; when in the field, he dons what seems to be a patchwork of black market EDF and 17DEM armor that may favor his tastes. Personality: While erring on the side of caution when it comes to future preparation, Oscar is impulsive for the immediate actions and steps up to fulfill his code of honor when someone is wronged. When relaxed or in social atmospheres, he slows down and savors the moment, only then able to consider before acting. Socially, the man gives everyone a second chance and prefers to look at the positive side of things. In more grim situations he can have a dark sense of humor to keep himself aware and in the scene. Strong Sense of Justice - Vengeful - Protector - No Long-Term Goals Bio: "Oscar "Mulligan" Van Cleef. I am what some call 'old-fashioned.' My life was governed by the local traditions of family, religion, and the grand outdoors. Long before timber farms and other such resource wells were legally allowed to take over the Mid Western US, my family had a long and proud history of holdin' fancy titles such as Rangers, Search and Rescue Operators, and a dash of Activists. That's right, son: nature has had its place among the Van Cleef family for many generations. For a time, the wild side of my father's fathers came to light when they, the mega corporations that is, tried to overthrow the reserves we had so carefully kept untouched. It wasn't all that successful, as you might can imagine.
"I can't say it was all for nothin', though. I reckon they saw fit that we're cheaper to keep happy than to get rid of altogether, so they allow us to live on borrowed land. Even after all that, trouble finds us anyhow. Some bounty hunter, lookin' slick and official, moseyed on up to our place, askin' 'bout some outlaw hiding in benevolent Mother Nature nearby. Well, some credits were offered, and I took up on it. Trackin' is in my blood, you see. We took a few nights, but we finally found the ol' boy. He was armed, but not expectin' to be found so quickly. This bounty hunter fella knocked 'im out, handed me my credits, and that was that.
"But I couldn't leave that at that. I asked if I could join him. It took a little negotiatin', and next thing I know it I traveled 'round the country for years. Long story short, brother, we found a woman. A cyborg, especially. She killed my partner, and I tracked her every movement. Escape me she won't, no sir. She's in Europa. And I'm takin' her down once an' for all."

Dyed platinum blonde hair shaved on one side, swept and left hanging on the other and back. Her face has been moderately enhanced as seen in picture.

Personality:Kaytlin is a complex creature, free-spirited from birth the world as it is today dampened her spirits, leaving her with a pessimistic and cynical outlook of society.

Name:Drayfus Cross Age: 27 Sex: Male Notoriety: -3 Appearance: Standing 5'8 with an average, if slightly slim, build Drayfus does little more with his dark-gray hair than keep it short enough that it doesn't mess with his helmet and the same goes for the small goatee on his chin. He'll often wear a pair of glasses when not wearing his helmet more out of old habit than necessity as he no longer needs them now that his left eye is cybernetic, giving him heterochromatic eyes with the right being gray and the left being a faint red. Personality:
Jovial – Reckless – Easy-going – Wild
Bio: Born on the continent of Australia, Drayfus was part of a Death Squad working for the collection of governing corporations that make up a syndicate referring to itself as Altus, sometimes referred to as "The Commonwealth" after it's region's previous name. He was on the team since he was 18 and was close friends with the team's heavy gunner. Their usual Targets were opposition groups not unlike Europa's 17DEM, if fact they even came across a small chapter of 17DEM at one point.
All it took was one horribly botched operation. His friend died during the mission along with most of the squad, and the repercussions forced the survivors, including him, to sever official ties with The Commonwealth, Not that he had any love for it to begin with. Drayfus went on to become a mercenary only he had very little limitations on what jobs he took and who he took them from, anything from just being another hired guard to assassination, this eventually caused a problem, as there were as many people seeking his life as there were seeking his services. Thankfully the solution was fairly simple: Leave Australia.
Going about this was about as simple as he managed to get a favor from, of all people, 17DEM. They got him to Europa and once there it was easy enough to get lost among the violence there, not that anyone was really going to bother following him from Australia anyway, he wasn't nearly worth the effort. However, as a bit of repayment for the favor he did have to kill an EPA officer that 17DEM found particularly troublesome. District: DST-38-East Weapon(s):

Name:Hideo Takeishi Age: 31 Sex: Male Notoriety -3 Appearance: Hideo stands at only 5'4, average for where he is from really but short when compared to his European counterparts, he maintains a fit build from his training as security and does well to keep himself clean and professional looking most of the time Personality:
Loyal – Merciless – Resourceful – By Any Means Necessary
Bio: Originating in JPN-22, Hideo's entire family worked for the corporation, he himself got a position as low-level security at an early age alongside his brother who was going to become a weapons technician. Regardless of family ties Hideo proved he was worthy of the position, climbing the ranks in security before transferring to the regular police force and spending a few years doing the same there, always remaining staunchly loyal to both his family and his company.
During his time with the police he was often part of counter operations against the influence of other corporations, the main one being Eurocorp, as well as terrorist groups such as 17DEM. His participation on these operations got him approached for a position with the Military. He was brought on with special forces and given additional training before being placed on a strike team and equipped with some of the best gear JPN-22 had to offer, including a weapon barely out of prototype stages(a gift from his brother).
Hideo was eventually called on again, this time for a slightly different type of assignment. He was deployed farther into Eurocorp's territory with discretion to act as an independent agent and given a single line that he could call on for resources. He was there with one objective: Find ways to destabilize Eurocorp's hold on the region, by any means necessary. District: DST-38-EAST Weapon(s):
Name: Natalia Montenegro [previously - Ayaka Imanawa]
Alias: Robin Hood
Age: 20
Sex: Female
Notoriety -1
Appearance: Natalia looks like quite an innocent creature. Standing at a rather small height of 5'4" and weighs averagely for her height, she doesn't really fit the 'intimidating' category. She has short red hair that reaches only to her shoulder and matching red ruby eyes. She often has aviator goggles on her head. She has a lean and athletic type of body but is hidden under her white tank top and brown aviator jacket with varying types of pants. She usually sports a bright smile on her face and exerts this aura of happiness and innocence. When she dons the 'Robin Hood' persona, she wears a costume reminiscent of the thief hero. She has the hat and all! However, this clothing is heavily modified to also act as her armor.
Personality: Natalia has a different sense of justice than most would think. Growing up on the story of Robin Hood, she came to pity the poor and hate the rich. She ends up as a person who strongly believes that what she is doing is right despite it being against the law. Despite this, she does help out the law every now and then when she believes it to be just - often helping them with catching thieves who steal only for themselves. She is unaware of her hypocritical ways. While she tries to become exactly like Robin Hood - her rather selfish heart makes her take more than half of the heist and give the remaining to the poor. Though when you meet Natalia when she's neither stealing nor helping the law, she is quite a fun person to be around. She doesn't beat around the bush and loves talking with others.
Fun-loving – Mischievous – Optimistic – Doesn't know when to stop
Bio:
"A young girl who just happens to be a victim of circumstance... but decided to ride it until the end." - Thalia Averton, Leader of the Rapscallions
Natalia was born and partially grew up in JPN-22. Though, she was never meant for a normal life. Her parents were thieves and assassins of the greatest bidder. Names well known among the community as the 'Black Cats' who were also under the group of the 'Rapscallion' - a rather straightforward name to be honest. She grew up thinking what her parents were doing was right as half of what they get is given to the guild and then distributed among the poor people of the country. However, it also meant that they were always on the run. However oddly enough, she quite enjoyed the life on the run as her parents were always there, every step of the way.
She was soon offered a position within the Rapscallions - Robin Hood. Natalia was ecstatic and started training with them in the arts of stealing. She, along with the rest of the Rapscallions, were at large and the JPN-22's task force were always after them. She loves the thrill of adventure - the thrill of danger. Natalia's entire teenage life was dedicated to being part of the Rapscallions along with her parents and her partner - Jimmy. Heist after heist - pickpocket after pickpocket, she had a pretty damn large bounty on her head.
When everything was just going so well, everything went to hell. Someone had tipped them off - a rat was within the organization of thieves - and they were raided by the task force. Natalia was lucky enough to be out on a job when this happened. She was sent an emergency message and Natalia fled. Pulling strings to get out of her predicament, she ended up in District 38. She had to settle down for a bit - become a normal citizen and generally lay low as to avoid any type of government catching up to her. It has only been a year and she has stolen little but helped the government quite a few times already. She has a love-hate relationship with the government as she helps them more frequently than she steals - and none of her heists ever amounted to anything even close to the ones she stole before. Currently, they're not actively looking for her though.
Natalia often works odd jobs here and there, accepting what she can, when she can. The government can contact Robin Hood through ringing a phone twice before hanging up and then a public phone would call a government-related building and have the coordinates to the meet-up there. Actually, anyone can call her as she does act as a mercenary though half the time, it's just prank calls and she'd turn up for nothing.
District: DST-38-WEST
Weapon(s): - Two Glock 17 pistols - rather unimpressive and only has comfort grips for convenience. Natalia possesses custom-made armor piercing bullets - Boot Blades - Throwing Knives {hidden under jacket when allowed) [6] - Combat Knives [2]
Armour: ROBIN HOOD ARMOR However, the color scheme is dark green (jacket) and blood red (pants). She also wears a green hat with a feather that resembles the original hat of old. - Light but durable metal chest padding - Leather padded joints - Black market made - White mask which has different modifications [Thermal Vision, shows velocity of wind, Nightvision, gas mask, voice modulator] - Fingerless black gloves - Her casual aviator glasses also have Thermal Vision and Night Vision - He has a device on the left hand that can show her physical body wellness (heart rate, fatigue, etc.),
Cybernetics: Her only cybernetic is her left arm which was lost in a firefight before. Constant maintenance is poured into it despite it only being slightly above average. Most of her money goes to this.
Account Balance: 2500 creds
Other: She's ambidextrous. While she is now a legal citizen, she still has fake IDs on her. She owns an antique Robin Hood book and the film which she stores in her apartment as one of her most prized possessions.
Appearance: Bastian is a wiry, lithe builded man with a square jaw, a small cleft on his chin, and dirty blonde hair that’s rarely not unkempt. He stands barely over six feet, and takes very few precautions in regards to his seemingly ratty appearance. He isn’t too muscular, but he’s more concerned about agility and finesse than bulk and power. (It's the brain that matters, right? And it's ain't like his armor is weak.) Despite his cheap style, he is rarely seen without some sort of technological device or gadget (weapons and armour excluded) with which he can toy. His most notable (and used) accessories are his cyber-goggles — often referred to as, ‘my babies.’ He generally has a pensive, distracted look on his face, but if his ears didn’t serve a purpose, then he probably would have had them removed by now. So, yeah, he’s paying attention; he just lacks the reason to let people know it.
Personality: As a technojunky with too much idiosyncratic curiosity, Bastian’s most incredible skill is his resourcefulness. He can do a lot of something outta a lot of nothing and likes to keep it that way. Sure, the fancy stuff is damn wankable, but in the end, Bastian doesn’t appreciate waste (even if he might look like something similar; at least, without his armour). He’s a minimalist and believes less is more (the cleaner the kill, the better). Of course, if more is needed, Bastian isn’t so prude that he’d shy from getting necessary resources. But, yah guessed it (Or did you? Hyuk.), if shoes are optional, he ain’t fucking gunna wear any.
His social life is also fairly minimal, but that doesn’t mean he’s shy. In fact, he’s pretty curious about how other people operate and function. He looks at them (especially with all the cybernetics and cyborgs polluting the world) as some sort of technological device that humanity hasn’t quite learned how to properly hack, yet. If his cues come off as odd or queer, it’s probably ‘cause he’s trying to find the backdoor or break it — he’s pretty fucking selfish like that.
Ingenius – Egocentric – Perceptive – Incongruous
Bio: It’d be stupid to imagine Bastian hadn’t grown up in the dirty part of some mega-city, but then again, anything is possible, right? Right. Except, Bastian’s upbringing is pretty transparent with nothing too internally different than the exterior that he portrays. Both his parents worked as minimal, disposable employees to the lowest ranks of some mega-corporation (Eurocorp) that incidentally had it’s tentacles wrapped tightly around the entire population. Shocker of shockers, right? Bastian is transparent, after all -- up until the whole part where his backstory gets convoluted with weird coding and keyboards that no one but him can use properly and all that good matrix fuckery. It is assumed someone close to him knew something about something and got him hooked on the program where he cleaned up his agile techno-abilities while operating under the 17DEM movement. on the side, he 'punched cards under the table,' and at some point, his jaded goggles got murkier, and he stopped seeing any point in helping any movement aside from himself. Putting his organized guerilla warfare days to a partial rest, he now free-lances his work, and as a front, he repairs lower-end electronics and lives in a shoe box apartment.
District: DST-21-EAST.
Konchu III
An original device constructed and innovated by Bastian. Konchu III has quite a bit of memory for a little guy and operates relatively smoothly, surfing the atmosphere for grids and patterns that she can spin into her own web. Her main function is for ease of movement through nets and clouds of information, where she can manipulate frequencies and such for confusion or delayed response time from the target. Her range is only a fifty meter circumference, however. She has several moveable cameras on her and can shoot a total of seven paralyzing electric darts in 'self-defense.' She also has a kamikaze mechanism (causing her to explode and destroy her valuable information), which had to be used on Konchu I and II. Bastian hopes Konchu III will not leave him a Widower.
NADE Rifle
A cyber-rifle of sorts. It's fantasmic. It's orgasmic. It's Bastian's cock, but it's probably not his manhood, 'cause that's more of a biological thing than a weaponry thing. It's not the loudest thing, if yah could not tell, yet. Flash and show ain't for Bastian. However, whatever is being shot out of the barrel might be a little bit surprising for anyone that doesn't know the model.
Low-Energy Pocket Knife
The knife doesn't need to be glowing to work, but it definitely is more harmful when it is. Bastian mostly has this handy little gadget for extreme cases of emergency. Although, he'll lie and say otherwise. It is a fun little girl to twirl around in his hand and cut chords with.
TC-WASP Suit
Formally known as the Transparent Chrysis-Wireless Application Service Protector. As someone who prefer the minimalist aesthetic as opposed to the bulky brute advertisement of baddassery, Bastian has taken his pocket change and invested it in this sleek, hi-tech, fabric of a build. Modeled after the giant Chrysis Wasp, the transparent suit's uses wireless technology to blue-ray (as can be seen more prominently in the suit that produces an anonymous mask over Bastian's face) a cybernetic force around his body. The suit's stealth ability is its dominant feature -- and like the Chrysididae do in the wild, the user of this suit has all the tools necessary to make a complete, unsuspecting cuckolding infiltration over his targets. The suit can be worn in broad daylight without attracting much attention, worn under every-day attire. Removal of any clothing covering the suit is necessary for (near) invisibility. When not being used for transparency, the suit is black in nature with quick lights of blue circulating through the tight weave. The TC-WASP also offers electronic capabilities to source other such tech-devices. When the mask is in use, vital information (variant on how well the user operates the TC-WASP's system) can be dispersed for registration by the user.
Name:Alexis ‘Lex’ Stangle Age: 29 Sex: Female Gender: Female Notoriety: 0 Appearance: Lex stands at 5’9” with a fit and stoned physique Personality:
Reliable – Spiteful – Humble – Harsh
Bio: Hailing from a bloodline of just law hunters, Lex too would follow in her families footsteps. Her training started at thirteen, and was entrusted by her father until she was seventeen and that deemed old enough to live alongside a mentor. Lex was then paired with Darius, a respected young man only six years her senior. Lex trained hard with Darius, she wanted to be him. She idolized him, and eventually… they fell in love, and Lex soon after became his wife. For many years they were inseparable, romantically, and professionally. They were a force to be reckoned with; Darius was massive and all about brute strength, however, Lex was nimble and agile. They made a perfect balanced team, and Lex was a natural Gunslinger. She was passionate, and she would have climbed the ranks of any organization… perhaps that’s what helped in descending Darius into madness. Insanity took over Darius, he hungered for power. First, it started with low-life and petty criminals, removing limbs and organs and replacing them with bionics. Darius was deranged and wanted to create some sort of super human, yet not fully Cyborg. It was the reason Lex lost her arm that night. District: TBA Weapon(s): Revolver Dual Pistols Dagger
