Markus is a devout follower in the prophet believing himself to be a chosen disciple of the faith. He knew that the prophet would bring about a new world and he was determinde to be the shield that protects him until that time comes.

(which he has actually done at one point)

History:

Markus was simply groomed to be a cog in the wheel. He was meant to work as a bean counter, a typist to work in the cubicles of death. He was groomed from a young age to simply be another face in the crowd, someone forgetable and easily replaceable. With his implant he saw nothing to really strive for or care for but simply work. He spent what little free time he had in a bar inside a hole in the wall called "the cybershot" He drown himself in booze on his weekends hoping that the next shot would actually kill him but it never came. He worked so hard tot he point that the bones in his hands suffered severe stress fractures and forced him to get replacements at docked pay of course.
He was getting drunk once more on the weekend at age of 20 it was his birthday and he had no one to share it with. Instead a young man came by dressed in a suit and they started to talk. He didn't think much of him until the man who was known as elliot pulled out a strange looking barcode scanner or at least thats what he thought it was. Then he placed it behind Markus neck and with a single press it felt like his entire life changed in the second.
He felt rage, depression, happiness, ecstacy all in that single moment and he felt human. He wondered what happened so he turned to elliot and he explained that the corporations implanted him at a young age. He heard this and felt enraged but when the man said that he wanted to take them down. All he could feel was pure happiness and devotion. He believed that this was the reason he was alive all this time. He dropped to his knees and begged to help him. Elliot then reached into his bag and took out a sword hilt. Then he pressed a button and a sword appeared. He tapped his shoulders with it before ordering him to rise. He had been named a monk that day and has ever since followed his teachings.
Ever since he had helped to spread his message and called him a prophet and soon enough once the others were freed of their implants they believed the same and he has been a devout monk ever since.

How did you know the prophet?:
Elliot sought Robert in a time of need during the early phases of his cult. Robert and Elliot shared drinks, and conversation of how to bring justice back to the system. When Elliot asked Robert to join his quest, Robert wasn’t really sold on the religious part of the deal, but saw no better alternative. Robert’s knowledge of the transit corporation makes him an invaluable asset to the movement of troops and the location of high value targets.

Role:
Master of Confessors
~We are just the messengers of judgment.~

Personality:
Robert is without empathy for those outside of the Prophet’s love. He doesn’t like crowds, but can handle small gatherings. His position over the Confessors also makes him very protective of the followers of the Prophet. He sees all people as potential followers, but will not hesitate to terminate any hostility.

History:

Robert was alive when the final tree died. He didn’t know it happened, and didn’t really understand the significance of it all. He was too young, too late to know the following events of the world that was rapidly falling into a world own my corporations, run by private police, and where people went to work to pad the pockets of empires instead of build a family. His father died in a work accident that caused the collapse of an underground hyper train tunnel. The Corp that the family worked for, Hyper Transit, gave his mother a small sum for the loss, but ultimately tacked the repair and rebuilding bill onto all those involved. This debt garnished 27% of their family savings, and a 30% tax on all future income until paid. This made their already meager existence even harder, but Robert and his mother lived on without anger towards the Hyper Transit; after all, it was only fair that the ones that caused the accident should be the ones to pay for it.
Just before finishing high school Robert was pulled out by demand of Hyper Transit to start working to pay off the Grievance Cost of his father’s accident. He made no income for the first three years due to age, and made only 40% income until he was 25 years of age. For years Robert worked on various sites, before he was put in the fabrication plant where he would service the robots that made many of Hyper Transit’s vehicles. In his state Robert was complacent, he went to work, he came home, on the weekends he got together with friends. Never once did he worry about the debt incurred by Hyper Transit. After around 10 years Robert’s mother was arrested under suspicion of conspiring against Hyper Transit, and Treason. It was this day that Robert’s life would be set into motion.
After his mother’s arrest police questioned Robert about his mother’s affairs; where she spent time, who she talked to, what she did on weekends. He didn’t really understand why they were so suspicious of them, or what she could have done to warrant this kind of investigation. He was denied visitation and was told he would likely never see his mother due to the charges against her. This triggered something in Robert a feeling he hadn’t felt, he felt like the system was being unjust, and unfair. He would go on like this for some time before he was approached by a young man. This man seemed to propagate from nowhere, but seemed to be interested in the disappearance of his mother. They got to talking and the more they talked the more Robert began to conceptualize he was being treated like a slave, and never questioned it. The man that helped Robert realize this was Elliot.
It was when Elliot was still growing his cult, and before many of his hierarchy was in place. Robert’s inhibitor Had begun to malfunction and the feelings of anger and hate began to settle in on him. He realized the injustice that Hyper Transit had imposed on his family, and that his mother was likely taken for the sole purpose as not to have to pay her wage and his. He spent a lot of time with Elliot over the next few years, talking of an uprising, of taking back our freedom, and of salvation. Elliot said he had a plan, something that would bring about all those things, but he needed help. He needed speakers, leaders, and fighters. Robert was hesitant, at first; this was war he was talking about after all. While robert wasn’t young anymore, he had worked for one of the largest transit corporations in the world meaning he knew his way around, and was no stranger to dirty work. From there Robert knew that Elliot, the Prophet as he titled himself, was destined to bring the people together. With his behavioral implant removed Robert took up his place beside the Prophet as the leader of the Confessors the elite assassins of the the Prophet, a scalpel to take out key members of their enemy and cause destabilization in their ranks.

Other:
His role in the cult sees him off on different types of missions on occasion, but one thing he always carries is his 10mm accelerator pistol he got off of one of the guard captains from Hyper Transit. This is a special type of weapon that utilizes electromagnets to accelerate the projectile making it almost completely silent when set to subsonic.

Sylina

Name:
Sylina

Age:
26

Gender:
Female

Appearance:
Sylina’s slight stature belies her strength, generally wearing rather baggy clothing it is hard to see that she is very well toned and quite strong for a woman of her build. She stands at approximately 5’5”, with green eyes and hair so black it seems to take away all light.

Augmentations:
A false hand she hides with a glove. It has few special abilities, really only giving her slightly more strength than a normal human man.

Weaponry:
In Sylina’s line of work for the organization, she rarely needs a weapon such as what you’d see on the streets. She relies mostly on intimidation and narcotics, but when she needs it she does have a .44 strapped to her hip and access to the organization’s armory.

How did you know the prophet?:
Sylina met the Prophet at school, while also being groomed to become a leader in her feild. They shared a common disgust at the way people allowed themselves to be controlled.

What is your role?:
Sylina is the leader of the Preachers, and as such is in charge of all newcomers and the vetting process to onboard them to the deeper levels of the organization. At time this means ferreting out information that they would not want known to the organization, and has also lead to the capture and…extermination of those who want to infiltrate their ranks. In her capacity she also works as a cleaner, making sure that anyone who in trying to spy on them is never found, and that…accidents are not able to be traced back to the organization, and most importantly, to the Prophet.

Personality:
Sylina is a no nonsense woman, preferring straight facts over dramatics. She has a kind heart but does not show it to outsiders or subordinates, and does not make friends easily for this reason.

History:
When Sylina met the Prophet she was training to become the leader in an investigative squad that was tasked with finding and investigating deaths associated with black market augmentations. She took to the training without question, often outpacing her peers. She rarely went out with friends, instead staying home to read books about forensic analysis and criminal charges and three times a week going to the gym to work out. In her boredom she learned how to avoid being caught in a crime, learned how to lie without giving away small facial expressions that gave people away to robotic facial scans, and learned how to see the small tell tale signs of a lie on someone’s face.

Her implant was damaged in an accident involving an electric shock at 23 and she began to try out her learning on others. She asked questions she knew her superiors would answer with lies, answered questions with lies to see if she would be caught. She was caught more than once, but because she was such a good student many of her teachers and superiors let it slide. She had begun to question the fabric of their society before she met Elliot, but when she met him and their conversations started slipping into more and more questionable matters she knew she wanted to join him.

When he learned of her career path, he suggested she continue to learn as many techniques as possible, and that she keep playing that her implant was working on her to make her compliant. She stayed in school even after he left. She continued to study forensics, autopsy and investigation, and when the time came they had nothing left to teach her she left and joined the Prophet. Her training made her useful to him, but her willingness to help stop the mindlessness of everyday society was what got her to where she is.

Other:
Sylina hates interrogating people in the ways she must when they are corrupted, but because she believes in the cause she does it without pause. She believes if she were to step down from that role someone who enjoyed it would not perform to the same standards she does, and that because she hates it she is the best suited for the position.
