Mao Mao's Test & Stash Zone

[Mao Mao]

After fighting against each other for a few minutes, the White Gorilla was exhausted and hid behind one of the soldier's vehicles. The man approached with both of his pistols on hand, ready to shoot them; however, he ran out of ammo. He threw away them and pulled out a knife, walking towards the vehicle with purpose.

Appearance Details ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Nathan stands at the height of six feet and two inches tall. With his height, his weight is below average compared to other men. Despite the fact that he's mixed, Nathan's complexion looks more white and might get mistaken as only being white. And due to the fact that he is homeless, he tends to wear used clothes from places like Goodwill or the Salvation Army. He always looks tried with bags under his eyes and the way that he walks lazily due to how difficult finding a comfortable place to sleep is in a city. Character Synopsis ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ The Castillo-Armstrong family were a respectful wealthy family and owners of Midwest Realty, a housing company in the Midwest. In addition, they were investors in several different companies, retailers, studios, and even products. However, the Castillo-Armstrong was working for a well known crime family in the background, providing them business opportunities beyond the city. Meanwhile, Abigail Castillo-Armstrong was shocked to learn that she was pregnant with Nathan. Abigail and Santino already had five other children to care, but neither of them wanted an abortion. Thus, Nathan Fox Castillo-Armstrong was born on the nineteenth of May. It was hard for Nathan because he was the youngest child. The one that nobody expected. Nathan wasn't given as much attention as the other children received. But he still was raised by his mom and dad. Then, he became ten years old. The 2008 financial crisis changed the entire world, including the Castillo-Armstrong family for the worst. As the result, Santino further increased their involvement with the crime family by hosting illegal gambling events. It puts pressure and stress on Abigail and Santino to maintain their wealth and businesses. As a result, they started to focus more on business than being a family. Besides the youngest two, most of their children were working and it seemed reasonable to fully focus on their businesses. Unfortunately, it meant that Nathan wasn't given the love that his siblings got and that made him angry. He resented his parents for not caring and loving him compared to the others while he was growing up. Both middle and high school were hell for him. Even with the family name, he never truly borrowed by everyone. He knew a few people from school but he never hung out with them beyond school. While his siblings were getting ready with their future, Nathan was still figuring his out. Despite him being an unplanned child, both Abigail and Santino expected Nathan to do something important with his life. They had expectations for their children, especially Nathan. Everything that he attempted to do wasn't good enough in their eyes. He saw the disappointment in their eyes during their long arguments. And as a result, it affected him in school and at work. He became depressed and started to question everything that he was doing. Then, high school was over and Nathan still had no plan for the future. Frustrated with their son, his parents threaten to kick him out if he didn't attend university for a law degree. His father made the decision for him while his mother helped him pack. They pressured Nathan to attend university for a degree that he didn't want but he tried regardless. At the end, however, he failed his classes and the university kicked him out. He returned home and wanted his parent to comfort him for once. Instead, he was given some money and told that he had ruined the family name for the last time. He managed to get a decent job as a waiter for a waiter before he was let go. Then, he left his apartment because he couldn't pay for it anymore. Nathan left behind Michigan and went to Wisconsin in the hopes of finding work until his life was changed forever. He was sleeping nearby Morgan Corp building when he heard an altercation and decided to investigate. That was when he saw Ink for the first time, fighting against the local security. Then, he was seen by some of the security. Under strict orders that no outsiders would ever see their projects, they decided to shoot him. Nathan thought that he was going to die on the spot until the creature entered his body. Suddenly, he ended up in a warehouse face to face with his savior. It explained everything from its origins in a Morgan Corp lab for its purpose as a powerful spy tool. But, it wanted freedom. So, it asked Nathan for his help to maintain it. No matter what. With no other purpose in his life, Nathan accepted the offer and allowed the creature to coexist with him. In return, he had to help him with a few things. It accepted. When he asked for a name, the creature said it never had one but was referred as "Subject INK-0210." In response, Nathan gave him the name of "Ink" because of his ink-like appearance. And that was the beginning of their friendship. They were thieves for a few months before Morgan Corp caught up them. Another few were spent hiding and tracking them to Chicago before damaging their business to make them leave Nathan and Ink alone. It worked. Now, after all the violence and destruction, Nathan wanted a clean start and his only friend couldn't agree more. After much thinking, they decided that Santa Celia was the perfect place to start over.

_{Personality
^{▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔}}

Being homeless has made Nathan into a cynical person who believes that people are only interested in themselves. He also loathes the wealthy that waste money and usually treats others below them like trash, especially the homeless population. Overall, he doesn't trust people easily and doubts their acts of kindness; but, it doesn't mean that he has no heart. He is grateful to those that actually care about helping out the homeless. Still, the only person that he trusts is his alien friend, Ink. Plus, he is horrible at socializing with other people besides Ink.

Other than that, he doesn't have too many interests and hobbies since he is always on the move and surviving on the streets. However, he does have a soft spot for music and the arts.

As for the criminal scum, he will easily kill them with no regrets whatsoever depending on the crime. He understands if someone was stealing to survive in a world that the lower class is treated like dirt. But, he will kill those that harm the defenseless for pleasure. He wouldn't care if the rich were targets of the criminal activity. Hell, he would openly support them. Nathan respects the authorities that want to uphold the law and stop the criminals even if he doesn't believe in the courts. But, he becomes disgusted with the corrupted officials and officers that abuse their position.

Nathan's last encounter with his parents, Abigail and Santino, ended with him stealing his father's car and leaving them in Illinois. It turned out that both of them were working for the Morgan Corp, the same bio-engineering corporation that created Ink. And they only sought out their son to capture his only friend. But, he refused to give him up and fought that soon turned violent. Security arrived to apprehend the both of them but it turned into a bloodbath. After the slaughter, he saw his whole family looking at him with disgust and terror especially his father. He took the car keys and left them behind, hoping that he never will see them again.

For the first time in a while, Nathan felt energized for sleeping on a comfortable bus seat. It's rare that he slept somewhere other than either a park bench or under a bridge. Originally, he was in Palm Springs before things became complicated with the local homeless population and the police. It didn't end in bloodshed, but Nathan knew that it was better to leave unnoticed. With a few dollars spent, he boarded a bus that was heading for the city of Santa Celia. He had never been to it before. Based on the brochure, it sounded like a better place than Los Angeles or Long Beach.

Eventually, the bus stopped at the bus station and Nathan watched as people were getting out of the bus. He wanted to feel the softness of the seat one time before getting off. After a few seconds, he got up and walked off of the bus. For the station, he watched the bus leaving towards its next destination while it was raining. Immediately, Nathan pulled up his hood to cover his head and protect his alien friend, Ink. The both of them had been to a lot in the last year especially in Chicago. Now, it was time to rest for once. Ink's head appeared beside Nathan's head, looking around at it's surroundings.

"We here?" Ink asked.

"Yeah, we are here. A chance to start anew, I hope." Nathan answered.

The two friends talked for a bit about random stuff while Nathan was looking for a comfortable place to rest. There wasn't anything to do during the night besides scouting out their new home. They had noticed a lot of fancy vehicles on the road, meaning that Santa Celia has its fair share of the rich. Nathan thought of going back to the robbery business if things got desperate. For now, they kept on walking for a while longer until they heard police sirens. Then, he heard gunshots. It got Ink's attention for sure as he peeked outsides of the hood before quickly going back in.

Suddenly, a lime green car sped down the road while being chased by three black vehicles. Four police cars were behind them in the hopes of stopping them. Nathan was caught off guard by the chase because he had never seen something like this before in person. Even known he has been at several cities, police chases weren't usually this crazy. Then, a person from one of the black vehicles fired his pistol at the tires of the green car. The guy managed to shoot one of the tires off of the green car, causing the driver to lose control. Then, he crashed into a light pole.

It seemed that the driver was dead until he got out of the car. He exited out of his car and began running away from both the police and the three mysterious vehicles. Nathan watched as the man kicked open the back door of an apartment and entered inside. The residents of that apartment unit were now in danger as the three vehicles halted nearby the ruined green car. One by one, heavy armed men exited out of the vehicles and made their way towards the apartment. Meanwhile, some of the officers attempted to stop the armed men, but they were met with gunfire. One officer was immediately killed and three more were wounded. It gave them a reason to not pursue anymore, leaving the residents at risk of getting hurt or worse.

"Cowards." Ink said, referring to the officers.

"Thankfully, we aren't cowards." Nathan responded. "Let's go and make sure that nobody else dies."

---

Once inside the apartment, Frankie Gomez shut the back door to the building and ran towards the front entrance. However, the police were setting up a barricade that surrounded the apartment. With no options left on the table, he started to climb up the stairs in the hopes of finding a good hiding spot. He heard the back door being kicked out of its hinges and knew that the Azteca Cartel were near. By the time that he got to the second floor, he heard someone ordering their people to check every single room in the building. The next thing that he knew was that the residents were fleeing to their rooms.

Unfortunately for Wyatt Brown, he was too slow and Gomez managed to enter the room. He was suckapunched before he could react to the stranger in his home. Gomez entered the small kitchen and grabbed a knife from the counter in the hopes of using it as a weapon. Then, he tried to look for his before realizing that it was still in the car and began to panic.

"SHIT! What am I going to do now?!"

Then, he saw Brown struggling to get off of the floor and processed to grab the collar of his shirt. He held the knife against his neck and said, "Give your phone or you will be sorry!"

Brown reached for his pockets and handed him his cell phone. Gomez grabbed the phone and threw him against the half wall. All he had to do now was call somebody that gives a damn about him and ask for a lift. It was a long shot, but it was better than dying in some apartment. While he was dialing a number, he turned to see that the resident was trying to flee. But, he kicked him in the chest and grabbed him with one hand. Gomez looked at his eyes and said, "If you try to escape, you will die. If you yell for help, you will die. And if you open that door, we will die. Got it?"

Brown nodded. "Good." Gomez said happily before throwing him into the bathroom. He placed the phone on the coffee table as it was calling someone. In the meantime, he looked for things to barricade the door.

Four police officers were assigned to keep an eye on the back door of the apartment building. The body of the fallen officer was dragged away while the officers took the injured to paramedics. Now, they watched and waited until one of the cartel members starts to open fire at them. A few minutes passed with no response for the cartel members. There were reports that some of the residents managed to escape before the Aztecas took over. Suddenly, the nearby generator explored and power in the area went out.

Then, all of them heard something crashing onto the hood of Officer Brown's cruiser. Brown immediately reached for his flashlight, turned it on, and shined it at the cruiser. It revealed that the hood was completely crushed and rendered it useless; however, the culprit was nowhere to be seen. Before Officer Brown could report the strange incident, gunshots erupted followed by screaming. He shined the flashlight at the apartment and watched as parts of an assault rifle flew towards them.

"What the fuck?" was the only thing that Brown could have said after experiencing all of that in a minute.

---

"¡Alejarse de mí!" One of the armed men recoiled after watching his friends getting cut down in seconds in an instant. A blooded cell phone on the ground lit up the area enough that he got a clear look at the creature. It was something straight out of a horror film. He freaked out naturally and screamed his last words, "¡VOLVER!"

His life ended in a single snap as Inque quickly grabbed the man's neck and squeezed it with ease. By the time that he dropped the lifeless body, they heard shouting from the upper levels wondering what was happening below them. Not knowing that their lives were about to end in the darkness by an unknown force. It was satisfying for them to see the fear coming from criminals, especially for the two armed men. Their first kill was a quick surprise attack on a confused armed individual. They bled out while the second guy started to fight in the dark in the hopes of hitting something. Now, he was dead.

Inque turned towards the stairs as they heard someone coming down to investigate and hid. The man had his pistol to the side while holding to a flashlight. He made it down the stairs and saw the blood on the ground. Then, he saw the bodies and froze in place; but, he was silenced before he could react. A punch to the gut followed by the snapping of his neck. They processed up the stair and kept on going until they were on the final floor. On that floor, he saw that four doors had been kicked open. Inque immediately entered the first room that he spotted and saw another armed man waving a rifle around.

It was too dark for him to see, but he kept on searching for the owner of the crashed green car. He turned towards the direction of the living room and shouted at the girl, "Hey, throw me something to light up the room! I need to be sure that you aren't lying after all!"

Inque noticed the girl was visibly shaking in fear of dying on the living room floor. They felt sorry for the girl and wanted to comfort them, but it would have made things worse. But, they saw one of those fake LED candles on the coffee table and grabbed it. The armed man was starting to get impatient and demanded the girl to hurry up with the request. He felt a tap on his shoulder and turned around to see blackness before seeing the candle. It turned on to reveal themselves and waited for the man's reaction before saying maliciously, "Here you go, amigo."

---

While the officers waited for the SWAT team to arrive, bystanders and members of the media arrived at the block to watch the situation unfold live. It has been calmed since the gunshots that occurred only a few minutes ago that caused a person that lived in the apartment to faint. Now, the officers were trying to reestablish power to the block. According to the officers guarding the back, it seemed that something purposefully destroyed the generator, but they dismissed the idea that a member of the Azteca Cartel shot it. Officer Brown described that someone or something strong enough used a manhole to destroy it. Then, it landed on his cruiser and crushed the hood with such simplicity before entering the apartment.

Suddenly, gunshots ensued, followed by screaming in terror and horror. Everyone watched in suspense as people begun to wonder who was stopping them. On the top floor, a cartel member opened a window on the top floor and tried to wave at the officers for help. He pleaded the officers to help him for the "monster" before being dragged back into the apartment. By now, the officers were too scared to enter the building based on Officer Brown's statement for earlier. Meanwhile, everybody was freaking out and started to wonder if the officers were going to do something.

"You have to help me! There's something unholy in this building. I don't know if it's a demon or something-"

It was a gruesome scene on the third floor of the apartment. One of the remaining armed men was using his cell phone to request backup; but, his friend refused to come. He had heard the reports of screaming for the news and didn't want anything to do with it. He bid his friend one last farewell before hanging up for good. With nobody coming to get him, he threw the phone towards the ground and began to cry for mercy.

"Come on, man... I promise to never do anything bad again. I swear to God."

Suddenly, he felt a hand on his shoulder and froze in place. Too afraid to see who was behind him, the armed guy started to weep knowing that he was going to die. "You will never be innocent." was the last words that he heard before the creature bit into his neck. He cried out in anguish for a few second before he fell on the carpet and bled out. Meanwhile, Inque watched the criminal moved in extreme pain with a grin on his face. And the night was still young. Then, they realized that there was a younger couple in the room when the woman accidentally bumped into them.

She stared at them and screamed in horror as her lover dragged her out to safety with a look of shock on his face. Of course, they got used to the reactions because it happened often enough; however, they usually didn't survive the encounter. But, for the citizens, their sighting was often associated with stress for the situation. Unfazed about the encounter, Inque left the room and ended up in the hallway once more. Out of nowhere, one of the doors opened up with four armed men dragging hostages out of a room. All of them were shaken up by the noises that they heard in the past half hour. There were five people being held against their will: a husband and wife, their teenage sons, and a woman.

The three armed men were looking around for the creature to pop up at any moment. Before Inque could respond, everyone heard gunshots coming below them. It was out of the ordinary because they didn't heard any warning. But, they thought that it was done out of fear until more gunshots occurred. There was silence once more and it was the final straw for the armed men. One of them grabbed the mother and dragged her further into the hallway with a desert eagle aimed at her. The family cried out towards the guy to spare her, but he didn't care. He had a plan for a way to escape this hell.

"Show yourself, animal!" Orlando shouted. "You killed our comrades! Now, we are going to kill her unless you show your face to us!"

For the shadows, Inque watched the whole thing unfold and wondered what they should do. They never revealed themselves like this before. Then again, nothing like this ever happened. The man looked like he was actually going to kill her and Inque felt wrong if they didn't respond. He walked closer towards them and said, "Fine, We are coming. Though you need something to see us."

"Alright." Orlando said and then turning to Pablo. "Pablo, give me the flashlight."

Pablo handed the flashlight to Orlando while keeping an eye on his surroundings. With the other hand, Orlando turned on the flashlight and shined it in the hallway. And when the light source revealed them for the first time, the creature waved at them. Orlando couldn't believe what he saw and began to back away in horror. He aimed the eagle at it and fired off several rounds. But, the creature dodged most of the bullets and ran towards them. Almost immediately, he took out the unnamed armed man with a swift kick that broke his lungs and sent him flying towards one of the rooms. Orlando kept on backing away and fired two more shots before forcing to reload. Pablo attempted to escape, but he was running too slow.

Inque met up with them near the stairs and kicked Pablo off the edge of the stairs. He wasn't going to survive a four story fall. Now, Orlando was the remaining threat and he was panicking. After finishing reloading, he looked at his hostages and told them to leave besides the woman. But, she tried to leave regardless because she didn't want to be in the same room with the monster. Orlando grabbed the woman's arm in an attempt to use her as a hostage while the others escaped down the stairs. During the struggle, he didn't notice that the monster was charging towards him until it was too late.

Inque successfully tackled Orlando to the ground and saved the woman's life. Meanwhile, the woman landed near the stairs and turned to see the monster starting to tear him apart. It was nothing like in the movies as she heard the man cried out in pain and the demon kept on attacking him. She couldn't bear to watch anymore and began her escape out of here, trying to not throw up until she was reunited with her father. All in the while, Inque kept on attacking Orlando despite him pleading and crying out in absolute pain. They were going to make sure that his last moment on this planet wasn't peaceful.

isolate
↪ Humanity has been living in their comfortable lifestyle in a world that has become overly dependent on technology for decades.
As bacterias and viruses are adopting to antibiotics at an alarming rate, some people began to question this dependency. Then,
Ebola infected millions of Africans and killed thousands in the matter of months. A few foreigners were infected but were contained
before they could spread. It caused wide spread panic among the populations of the world. After developing a treatment for the
virus, the CDC designed and released a preparedness guide for combating outbreaks. It was adopted by the governments of the world
shortly after the release.

In the United States of America, the US Military began several programs to look for signs in someone if they would inflected.
Hospitals updated their equipment to combat against emergency capacity issues. People started to look out for their health and
cleanliness and everyone was more healthy. However, what if the world was a different kind of virus? A virus that would infect
someone and slowly kills them in the matter of hours then came back for the dead? Nobody would know what to do especially people in
the city of Baltham.

A business man, returning for a long trip, hasn't left his home in the matter of days and neighbors were worried enough to call the
local authorities. A neighbor, who is friends with the business man and his family, decides to investigate the situation himself
and see if everyone inside is fine. That is when our story begins.

the final frontier
↪ In the near future, Earth is in a state of chaos as the climate is drastically changing at an alarming rate. And with the
collapse of the European Union, everyone is on edge for a possible world ending war between the Russian Federation and the United
States of America. But, it only prolonged the Cold War between both powers. Their focus shifts towards the new frontier: space. One
of their first targets was the Moon. The United States of America established the first ever colony with the aid of several
European countries with Russia establishing their own colony shortly after.

It has been six years since the establishment of the Luna colonies and both sides are looking to expand more into the Solar
Systems. Both the Americans and the Russians have their sights on the red planet, Mars.

the age of machines
↪ Since the twentieth century, mankind has always made advancements in technology from medicine and the television to the
internet and the nuclear bomb. In 1964, the great minds of our planet met up in Paris to discuss the possibility of human
augmentation. Plastic surgery and implants were becoming more common as the century was ending. The conference discussed the
ethical and moral quandaries of human augmentation only being made available to wealthy, developed countries. It also talked about
the “need” and “want” in human augmentation, and the potential for human augmentation over the next century. After the discussions,
The Code of Ethics on Human Augmentation was shown to the world.

The world didn't take it seriously since it created standards for a form of technology that is still in its infancy. And soon
after, world leaders at the time were too forced on the second major period of globalization and scientist began their shift
towards global warming. The world soon forgot about the code until the year 2025. The Digital Revolution was still going strong as
holograms are becoming popular as a form of entertainment. The Middle East finally saw peace for the first time in decades with the
end of the civil war and the defeat of ISIL; however, terrorist attacks are on a rise. NATO–Russian relations are more strained
than ever because of the annexation and puppet of Ukraine. The gap between rich and poor nations got worse with third
world countries being affected the most. And the European Union was on the verge of collage as three more countries left.

However, the world has advanced technologically and more countries are adopting liberal social politics like same-sex marriage into
their country. And suddenly, augmentation started to become popular in the world. It started with elf ears and then advanced into
prosthesis. And the world witnessed cyberware becoming a fashion statement overnight. Transhumanism starts to become popular with
the youth. Russia, along with several Central and Eastern European countries, made all of them illegal citing that it was going
against human nature. The augmented citizens are facing discrimination and brutality from both citizens and police every single day
while living in separated districts. At the moment, several European countries are requesting for a United Nations investigation
into the law and whether they are violating human rights or not.

CLASSIFIED INFORMATION
Black Friday. November 23rd, 2019. The day that many analysts consider to be the busiest shopping day of the year because retailers offer various sales to entice traffic and earn a few money dollars. As the result, millions of customers wait in the cold until the morning of Black Friday. Even known people tend to end up with injuries, the event seemed to be going smoothly. Until something horrible happened two days later. That was when sudden spikes of hospital admissions occurred all over cities like Los Angeles and New York City. Everyone had the common symptoms found in a cold (fever, sore throat, etc.) and doctors just sent them home with prescriptions. By the time that officials noticed something wrong, the first deaths took place a day after going to hospitals.

When the death troll reached one hundred, the Central Disease Control entered protocol and began their investigation into the outbreak. Unfortunately, it had become such a problem that schools and universities were closed indefinitely. And in the hopes of containing the outbreak, the country closed down the border and forced transports into lockdown. The National Guard begun to setup makeshift camps for the inflected and non-inflected while maintaining order with the local authorities. When the citizens started to resist their efforts, the military came to assist them while imposing martial law. Citizens that defied the new law were executed and made examples.

And with the closing of the United State of America's borders, the world economy collapsed and international trade halted as other countries isolated themselves. Before the American government started to censor worldwide news, the latest reports revealed that outbreaks with similar symptoms occurred across Europe. On day seven of the Dollar Flu, power and water shut down in major cities while stores were pillaged by starving people that were restless. That was around the time that the military and authorities started to lose control and chaos ensured. In Los Angeles and Detroit, the local gangs started their vicious conquest of their neighborhoods before fighting each other. In other places, militia groups formed to restore order and push their own agenda against the innocent.

The American government had lost control of their citizens and land. The final straw that broke the camel's back was the Fall of Washington DC to both communists and nationalists militia groups. Before the President was forced to leave the White House, he enacted Directive 51. The Directive claimed that the power to execute procedures for continuity of the federal government in the event of a "catastrophic emergency." Shortly after it was enacted, a signal was sent out across the country that activated sleeper cells and agents. And within in hours of their awaking, the capital was burning and government officials were either evacuated or hunted down. The Division rose from the ashes and absorbed remaining authorities in the country.

Powers And Abilities
Half Gem - Steven is a hybrid of Rose Quartz and Greg Universe and has several abilities that a pure Gem has, but not all of them. For example, he's capable of using the wrap pads and bubble objects and gemstones with such ease. However, he isn't able to shapeshift and cannot retreat into his gem when he is seriously wounded. But, he can summon a shield, which bears a striking resemblance to Rose Quartz's shield, and a bubble that changes sizes. Unfortunately, he hasn't learned to control his magical abilities, which fluctuate erratically from time to time because of his emotions. If he is happy, then his abilities tend to work as intended; however, if he's angry or sad, the abilities will either malfunction or fail entirely.

Fusion - Fusion is when two or more are bonded into one single entity that's completely unique and special. The minds and bodies become one new gem that's different to already existing gems. For example, Garnet is the fusion of Ruby and Sapphire and doesn't look and act exactly like a non-fusion Garnet. Of course, other gems can fused like Pearl and Amethyst and unfuse at any moment. Garnet chooses to remain fused because Ruby and Sapphire love each other and can't stand being apart; but, fusion isn't inherently romantic and can represent other relationships like friendship. And in order to fuse, a Gem must be in perfect sync mentally, physically, and emotionally.

If one of them is unbalance, it can lead to an unstable fusion. An unstable fusion is the result of clashing personalities like Sugilite. Being unstable can also lead to de-fuse when a fusion is experiencing an overwhelming emotion or conflicted with an opinion. And there are forced fusions which are responsible for the creation of Gem Mutants, gem shards that are binded together at the edges instead of changing colors and appearances. They are shattered to the point that they are unaware of themselves, nor what they are doing. Finally, there are the corrupted gems. Gems that were impacted by the Corrupting Light, a cataclysmic event and final assault after Pink Diamond's shattering, became corrupted in the matter of seconds.

Almost all members of the Crystal Gems and some members of Homeworld were hit by the light and transformed into monsters. Corrupted Gems behave like wild animals and exhibit behaviors like feeding and predation. And they lose their basic powers like summoning their weapons and shapeshift. With thousands of them roaming around the world, the remaining Crystal Gems made it their duty to containing them before they harm someone. In order to prevent them from regenerating, the corrupted must be proofed into their gem and contained by a bubble. And if the bubble isn't broken, then its teleported to the Templar and kept out of human intervention.

Half Human - At the end of the day, Steven is still a human being that needs to eat and sleep unlike gems. The reason why the Crystal Gems haven't made him one of their members is the lack of protection. If his shield and bubble are damaged, then it could leave him in a vulnerable state that could get him hurt or killed. Because of that risk, Garnet and Pearl taught him how to wield the shield and sword that his mother once used for defense. He would rather find peaceful solutions and treats his sword as the last resort. As for education, Steven is currently home-schooled due to an incident that took place in the six grade which got him expelled. Greg, with help from Pearl, decided to enroll his son in home school afterwards.

And thanks to Pearl, he was taught to understand Gem language, a native language that Homeworld uses. Also, he can fuse with other gems and possibility with other people (only if he has bonded with them).

Origin And Backstory
Rose Quartz, the leader of the Crystal Gems, sacrificed her physical form in order to give birth to her son, Steven Quartz Universe. Greg Universe, wife of Rose Quartz, took his son away for the Crystal Gems to let them mourn in peace. For the first years of his life, Greg and his close friend, Vidalia, took care of the child. He wanted to own a proper house and not rely on Vidalia too much, but he couldn't afford one in Beach City. So he went to the Crystal Gems because their base, the Crystal Temple, was a perfect place to build a beach house and asked for their permission.

Garnet, the new leader of the Crystal Gems, agreed on the condition that Steven lives with them since he is a human/gem hybrid. And soon, the other two members met Steven for the first time. Amethyst immediately liked Steven while Pearl didn't know how to feel about the child. After the house was constructed, Steven and Greg moved in while Vidalia wanted to raise a family of her own. And nine years of growth and development passed before Greg moved back into his van. He still took care of his son, but he couldn't stand living with the Crystal Gems especially Pearl. Meanwhile, the Crystal Gems began to teach him about his potential powers and how to wield Rose Quartz's sword when he turned eleven without his father's knowledge.

At first, Steven didn't believe that he possessed his mother's power until one day during lunch. He saw that some eight graders were teasing a six grader and decided to step in between. The eight graders focused their attentions on Steven and looked to start a fight with him. In response, he formed a bubble that sent them flying across the library. The librarian saw the aftermath and sent both of them to the principal's office. The eight graders told what happened to the principal and he expelled Steven. Greg was understandably upset and questioned his son about it.

Steven didn't say anything until Amethyst accidentally revealed to training him. He tried to calm his father down, but he didn't listen and demanded an explanation for Garnet. She defended her choice to train Steven and lie to his father about it. Pearl made the situation worse with her snide remarks towards him. Greg had enough dealing with them and told Steven to come with him. But, he refused since he wanted to know more about his mother and the gems. He tried once more to convince his son to come with him, but he refused to leave. Greg did not agree with his son's decision, but he understood wanting to know who Rose Quartz was.

Steven sat in front of the television with a bowl of cereal beside him. He turned on the tv to watch the Saturday morning cartoons. That's what he did every single Saturday. Amethyst joined in whenever she wasn't on a mission while Pearl and Garnet were off doing something else. He wondered what they were talking about sometimes but he didn't bother to ask. They avoided his questions and went outside or into the temple itself.

But, this Saturday was different.

He heard the wrap pad activating and saw that the Crystal Gems returned for one of their latest missions. Garnet held a sunstone gem on her hand before bubbling it away. "You should have been more careful, Amethyst." Pearl turned to Amethyst

Morgan Corp
Morgan Corp was once the leading biotech company in the Midwest that had close ties with the American government. They were responsible for researching, developing and commercializing anti-allergics drugs; but, their other works are still classified to the general public. Their last work had them explore the possibility of creating life from objects with help from the government. After a year of researching and countless subject, they thought that they had finally made the perfect subject. Instead, Morgan Corp created something that they couldn't control and it escaped for one of their facilities in Wisconsin.

It managed to find someone and fused with them to form a powerful being. Even known they were being hunted, both of them managed to destroy several Morgan Corp properties and killed so many people. Eventually, they made their way to Chicago and confronted the former CEO, Tyler Morgan. Officially, an explosion from one of the labs killed the CEO and several individuals. The truth was that Morgan was brutally murdered along with several other high ranking members. After the incident, Morgan Corp was struggling to survive and filed for bankruptcy two months later.

Now, several biotech companies are looking to buy what remains of Morgan Corp.

Strengths
(These are natural abilities innate to your character. A character might have inhuman strength making him or her stronger than an average human. A character might be a beast and have heightened senses. They may be a dragon and can fly. Write out 4 strengths. If you need more, then PM the GM to discuss it.

Strength is a subjective category. Therefore, strength is not measured in the attributes. Instead, damage output is all that really matters. If you have a character with demigod strength, but you didn't invest points in (p)damage, then regardless what you have written here, they will do pitiful damage. I don't care if your character lobbed the titanic at another character, that ocean liner is going to hit that character like a rubber ducky. Please be logical. If you got a character that is a physical powerhouse, then invest in it. Also be mindful that although you may be playing a character who was stronger and faster than God in his or her universe, in the "crossover universe" you will be interacting with characters who were bad asses in their universe too. In the crossover-verse, all characters are on equal ground until you manage to level them through your hard, creative, fun work.)

Weaknesses
(No video game character is perfect. They may have shown weaknesses in games such as pitfalls, slippery slopes, can’t swim, can’t fly, can't jump over a damn 1 foot fence, etc. You should list those weaknesses here.)

Background
Mako Rutledge, leader of the Australian Liberation Front, became increasingly tired towards the government that granted omnics their own land in the Outback. For months, he read reports about how family farms were torn apart because the Omnium, an self-improving automated robotics factory, required more room. Eventually, he came up with a plan to get rid of the omnics and return the Outback to people. With explosions and volunteers, he sent them on a mission to destroy its fusion core. But, nobody knew the unseen consequences for the entire Outback.

The second explosion killed most of the volunteer group that were either trapped inside or escaping the explosion while the radiation spread all over the Outback. Following the explosion, the Australian government deemed the Outback to be irradiated and left thousands of citizens to rot. The remaining survivors of the Australian Liberation Front quickly placed the blame on Rutledge and left him for dead in the ruins of the Omnium. It was the day that Mako died. Wearing a gas mask and riding a homemade chopper, he became a wanderer. His humanity forgotten. His face forever hidden by a gas mask. He forced himself to survive his personal hell as Roadhog, the man that replaced Mako Rutledge.

After wandering for years, he found his purpose as a bounty hunter for the Queen until he was sent to capture Junkrat. Junkrat had something valuable that the Queen wanted and didn't care if Roadhog killed him as long as he got it. However, he was smart (for a Junker) to not have it on him. Shortly after learning about it, Roadhog was ambushed by two other bounty hunters and learned that the Queen betrayed him. He teamed up with Junkrat for the purpose of finding out what made the treasure special and get revenge on the Queen.

It turned out that the treasure was an omnium fusion core and it made them targets for everyone. Eventually, Junkrat and Roadhog were targets for Overwatch and Talon because of the fusion core. But, they were planning on using both of them for their own personal gains. However, it all changed when the whole world was consumed by a light.

Personality
Roadhog is a ruthless killing machine that shows no remorse for his victims and often laughs during his bloodbaths. He doesn't care about people and only looks out for himself. And he doesn't speak because his mask muffles his voice and perfects to get things done right away. But, he never could manage to get rid of his past life. He does care about his partner Junkrat and often tries to protect him from trouble or causing too much trouble. He's quite observant and has a logical mind due to his time as the former leader of ALF. And he honestly wants to do good like his boss, Junkrat (whenever he isn't acting crazy and killing people like its Christmas).

However, Roadhog seems himself as a monster for turning the Outback into a radioactive wasteland and knows that redemption will be difficult to achieve. Even if he honestly wants it.

Specialty
Tank

Powers
Take a Breather - Pulling out a small gas container full of "Hogdrogen," inhaling it restores a portion of his health and grants him fifty percent damage resistance while inhaling. It can be used as a defense buff as a way to survive instances of high damage. However, he isn't able to move and look around normally when taking hogdrogen.

Strengths
Overweight - Roadhog is a big person that has its benefits. With an inhale of his hogdrogen, he is able to act like a shield for characters in danger.

Very Brawly - Thanks to his hogdrogen once more, he can put the pressure on the enemies longer than many other tanks.

Weaknesses
Overweight - The obvious problem with Roadhog's weight is his mobility, making him slower than others, and his size makes him an easy target for his enemies.

Anti-social - Due to living in irradiated Outback, Roadhog has a hard time trusting strangers and his mask makes talking difficult.

Spirits
None

Kindred Spirits
Junkrat - Overwatch - Roadhog's only friend that he made in the Outback. Even know he's crazy and often
comes up with idiotic plans, his heart is the right place and means well for his bodyguard.

Arthur Morgan - Red Dead Redemption 2 - Thought both of them are from completely different universes, they
have a common goal of seeking redemption for their actions. And both of them suffered as the result of their
choices in life.

Ratonhnhaké:ton - Assassin's Creed III - Another person from a different universe, he reflects Roadhog's
past life before the explosion that forever changed him. Both of them care about their communities and want
the best for them against outside (and inside) threats.

Inventory
Scrap Gun - The Scrap Gun is his primary weapon of choice. The primary fire is a shotgun that deals damage close range while the secondary allows him to fight medium range. The secondary launches a projectile which, after traveling a short distance, explodes and shoots out a cone of pellets.

Chain Hook - A chain hook that Roadhog carries and often uses it during combat.

Level One - 0/10 XP

[Mao Mao]

Soon after talking to Junkrat, Roadhog exited out of the quarters and processed towards the stairs. Until he heard something nearby. At first, he thought that it was the wildlife reclaiming this site once more. Then, he heard banging coming from the area and decided to investigate it. Roadhog reached for his weapon and slowly approached the door, ready to retaliate against any threats; however, he had a hunch that it was some tourists. And once the door was flung opened, he saw the group of tourists tied up with rope or plastic cuff and clenched his hand. Roadhog never got used to the slave trade and always felt uncomfortable whenever he saw one took place; however, they weren't common. Most Junkers thought that slaves were useless because it took a long time to train them on a certain job. Even the Queen outlawed them in Junkertown due to them being a "waste of resources and time."

"The payload's heavy defended with one of those bastion protected by an Orisa." Sombra said confidently after scouting out the area ahead of the diner. Talon was in the heart of the American Southwest to retrieve the payload, which contained an omnic known as "Echo." However, it seemed that Overwatch knew about their little plan and decided to rescue Echo themselves. Talon fought with Overwatch several times across the world and lost plenty battles with them. Recently, Rialto was a major failure as Overwatch agents were successful in entering Talon's headquarters and retrieved several classified info. It was most likely how Overwatch knew about Echo being in Route 66.

"Who else is waiting for us?" Moira asked.

"Mercy, Pharah, Tracer, and Winston." Sombra answered.

"Well, it'd be good to see Ziegler again." Moira grinned at the thought of beating her again like she did in Volskaya. Her trail of thoughts was interrupted by the main doors of the diner opening up. A new face entered the diner who was familiar with the area. She was the woman with the white hair and wearing a cowgirl outfit and the recent member of Talon. She introduced herself to the ground, "Ashe's my name. Nice to meet y'all."

Moira recognized the name and walked towards with her hand extended, "I am Moira. I take that you talked to Reaper yet?"

"He told me the basics." Ashe answered. "Where is everyone else?"

"Well, our sniper is on lookout while Reaper went ahead. The only other people here is me, Sombra, Roadhog, and Junkra..." Moira looked around for the Junkers but couldn't find them anywhere. She sighed, turned back to the new recruit, and continued, "It seems that the Junkers are still at the site of the train wreak. Sombra, please find and tell them that the mission's about to commence."

Sombra rolled her eyes at Moira's order and threw her gun on the table. She walked outside and saw parts of the derailed train on the ground while the first car of the train was hanging on for dear life. Then, she heard Junkrat talking to his partner, Roadhog. Sombra was too curious for her own good and went invisible in the hopes of getting something juicy about the "treasure." So far, Talon has no information on the treasure that both Junkrat and Roadhog have. Both of them never talked about it in public even known Junkrat accidentally mentioned several times. Without Roadhog to prevent him for saying anything, they might have got the treasure already.

Meanwhile, Junkrat was digging around the site for some useful parts for their incoming battle and talking to his partner in crime, Roadhog. "Do you think that joining Talon was the right call?" Junkrat asked Roadhog.

"Who cares about what's right? As long as we get paid, I am fine working with them." Roadhog answered coldly. He looked at Junkrat as he smiled faded. It made him feel bad enough to finish the answer with an option. "We could also just leave them and go back to the Outback." Roadhog didn't mind about just straight up ditching Talon and living in the Outback again. It might make them more of a threat but outsiders didn't know the Outback unlike Junkers. He knew that they could successfully hide for both Overwatch and Talon.

Junkrat laughed and said, "You realize that the Queen and every Junker wants us dead because of the treasure. Sure it'd be nice to visit home once again."

Roadhog nodded to the thought of returning home

"That's enough. You've caused so many deaths. I don't want to make this situation more worse that it is. Just please, stop."

Inque laughed at the random stranger's request while Orlando was trying to say something towards the stranger. Before he could finish his sentence, he was silenced swiftly. They were quite curious at the stranger, who was either brave or foolish to investigate the apartment and then ordered the monster to stop killing. So far, he has killed dozens of criminals that were planning to kill citizens in this apartment and saved some of their lives. And they were the ones the stranger was worried about. He stopped laughing and responded, "What do you think would have happened if we weren't here? These thugs would have killed innocent people because of one man. Almost all of them were carrying enough firepower to challenge the authorities outside. You should be thanking us for saving hundreds of lives tonight."

He turned and finally saw the brave stranger. It was a young woman with a black bandit and a white tank top. At first, they thought she was with them; however, she didn't act nor looked like one of them. They got up and carefully looked at the flashlight nearby. Inque walked towards it, turned it off, and grabbed it. They wanted to make sure that she got a clear image of them before deciding what to do next. They wanted to be clear that they aren't killing citizens. In fact, they made sure to not kill civilians at all. Inque went back towards the body and said, "You have seen the bodies, right? You know who they are? Bad people looking to create chaos. We save the blameless. The ones that struggle to survive another day. We attack and kill those that harm the innocent. Like the ones that stormed this building. You are innocent. We won't attack unless you attack us."

Inque carefully approached the woman while holding the flashlight. "You are thinking that we are the monsters. But we are not like them. We might be a monster, but we do not terrorize the innocent for fun. We defend them for the scum that want to ruin lives with drugs and extortion. And we are almost done here. Two more floors left to check. Then we leave. However, we want to reveal ourselves to you since you are innocent. It might be scary to look, but it's an important."

When they got close enough to the woman, they held the flashlight in their face and turned it on. Inque gave her a cold stare and said, "We are the ones that deliver justice. We do what the police can't and city officials refuse to enact. Bad people are out there with plans to ruin the lives of the innocent. We are here to protect them and stop the scum for harming anyone else. If you are seeking a name, then call us Inque and tell everyone about us. And if people believe in you, then tell them that we won't stop until the streets are safe and clean."

And with the speech done, Inque crushed the flashlight with ease and watched it land on the floor. Then, they walked by the woman and descended down the stairs. When Inque got to the third floor, it looked like they unforeseen the woman to be a good fighter. Unfortunately, she didn't kill them and just left them unconscious. They didn't have time to kill all of them sadly and left for the second floor. When they arrived on the floor, it was quiet; but, he knew that the owner of the green car was somewhere. Inque slowly walked across the hallway and carefully examined everything. Then, they heard noises coming from the room nearby. Before the people inside could react, Inque kicked the door down and saw two people in the room. One of them was hiding in the bathroom while the driver was using a cell phone. It was him.

Inque walked towards the driver and said, "You must be the very important person in the building, right? I have some questions that you are going to answer."

Roadhog woke up to an argument going between some of the Talon agent and the leader of the Deadlock Gang, Ashe. Junkrat was next to him listening to the argument while playing with his bombs. They were in the heart of the American Southwest to retrieve a payload, which contained an omnic known as "Echo." However, it seemed that Overwatch knew about their little plan and decided to rescue Echo themselves. Talon fought with Overwatch several times across the world and lost plenty battles with them. Recently, Rialto was a major failure as Overwatch agents were successful in entering Talon's headquarters and retrieved several classified info. It was most likely how Overwatch knew about Echo being in Route 66 and their plans of receiving her.

Even with help from the Deadlock Gang, the assault in Route 66 was failing terribly thanks to Orisa and Bastion. Dozens of soldiers and gang members dead or wounded. It was up to the main ground team to secure the payload. Reaper walked away for the argument and was heading towards the Junkers. Roadhog could tell that he was annoyed by the latest reports and tapped on Junkrat's shoulder to get his attention. He was about to say something when he froze in place after seeing Reaper heading towards them. "Get your things and follow me." the leader of the team ordered.

Immediately, Junkrat and Roadhog got their things and followed him outside. Roadhog didn't realized how close Overwatch was for the hideout until he got outside. The High Bar was the front line headquarters where the other ground team members were located and its close to the fighting. The first metal door was broken into shortly after securing the gas station near it. And things were just getting started for the Junkers. Reaper turned towards the pair and said, "You need to take out Bastion before he kills more of our people. As for you, Junkrat, your talent is required elsewhere. Follow me and you get to blow something up."

"Well, you got me at blowing stuff up." Junkrat said with a big smile on his face and followed Reaper. Meanwhile, Roadhog was left alone as Moira approached him and said, "That Bastion has been a struggle to deal with thanks to Orisa. Your assistance is much needed."
