Miranda Song
Name: Captain Song
Age: 24 (122)
Species/Body: Synthetic Human | Ex-Spacer
Current Appearance: As an Spacer, she never particularly appreciated her appearance or those of the rest of her kind. When mind uploading technology came around, she chose the appearance of her great-great-great grandmother, from before the migration to space.
Her synthetic body is formed in the image of a 24 year old Korean woman. Standing at 5'6" and 130 lbs., she isn't exactly robust in stature or shape. Neck-length, straight black hair is typically pulled into a bun or ponytail and hidden under a POLICE cap - including when off-duty. She's cursed with a wide, round face, with low and extremely prominent cheekbones - and that's exactly the way she likes it. She doesn't consider herself attractive, and chooses not to be conventionally attractive.
Notable features: Her eyes. Black scleras with yellow irises - a constant reminder to herself that she isn't entirely human anymore. A marking on the back of the left hand - 32.
Alignment: Lawful Good
Personality at a Glance: She cares very little for morals, ethics, philosophy. What she does care about is the law. She recognizes that the law isn't perfect, and that there's more than enough corruption in her neighborhood's government to fill an entire nation, but it's not her job to question how things are done - only to uphold the law and protect the innocent.
She's the sort of person to ignore kids spraypainting rude signs in underpasses or doing drugs in alleyways - but anything vaguely theft-related or violent catches her attention immediately, and is usually met with a tackle - and, failing that, a hail of precisely placed bullets.
History & Current Job: Miranda Song has been a police officer for over a hundred years, now. Her first, organic body lasted until she was 60 - which is unusually long-lived for an Earthbound Spacer, even with replacement organs and reinforced bones. The brain was still fully functional, though, and due to her service record, she was recommended by the Goodtown Police Department for immediate mind uploading the instant she fell ill for the last time. She would be the first officer in the lower levels to be gifted with this new form of 'immortality'.
Unfortunately... She is not the original Miranda Song. There have been thirty-one iterations of her synthetic body before the current one, and each one has died in the line of duty. Four drug overdoses while undercover. Ten vehicular accidents. Fifteen brutal and violent murders. One death under strange circumstances not easily identifiable. One MIA body. She's seen the records of her many deaths, and by the gods, she doesn't want to run into that problem again. She might not be the original, but she certainly is still a person, damn it - and she wants to keep it that way. Still, the one MIA body worries the hell out of her, and her worst nightmare is to find another version of herself trapped in some sort of prostitution or drug ring.
John McKenzie
Name: #2
Age: 1 (19)
Species/Body: Wireless Avatar
Current Appearance: A flying robotic body with four spiderlike legs for ground operation. The entire contraption is roughly 3 cubic feet, and includes a pair of heavily cylindrical thrust devices mounted to the sides. In the center of the chassis are a swiveling camera 'eye' and a very, very large machinegun. To the sides of the front of the chassis are two small and weak manipulator arms, designed for pressing buttons, opening doors, and giving more important people their coffee.
Alignment: True Neutral
Personality at a Glance: Lacking.
History & Current Job: John was unfortunate enough to have survived enormous cranial trauma on the first day of his job with the Goodtown Police Department. He was on patrol at the time, exactly one year ago, when he gave chase to a burglar he caught attempting to steal cardiac implants from a local clinic. One bullet and blood everywhere - but he hung on, despite much of his brain having been structurally disrupted. The surgery to prevent death was performed immediately, and the remains of his brain have been replaced with advanced neuroprosthetics, which more or less have converted him to a simple thinking computer.
He is still sentient, but the damage to his brain was so severe that no neuroprosthetics that had been invented yet could restore his personality. Emotions are still present, more or less, but they are in a much baser form than they had been. In an attempt to give him something vaguely resembling a life, he was equipped with an IFF chip that set his allegiance via hardware to that of the Goodtown Police Department.
Currently, he works as Captain Song's bodyguard.
