[OOC] 2086 - A Cyberpunk RP

[Dark Cloud]

Shit, I never knew I could write this dark. I will warn you guys my post is extremely dark and gory so please be advised if you can't handle it.

[Dark Cloud]

@Kiragan_Natsuki Would you like me to put an advisory in my post or something?

[Dark Cloud]

I can probably remove the last part.

[Dark Cloud]

@Kiragan_Natsuki Can I get your imput on this boss?
EDIT: Eh I'll just edit out the last part too unsettling.

[Kiragan_Natsuki]

@Dark Cloud Love it!!! :D. Sorry, been busy all day. On my break now but not for long.

[Dark Cloud]

@Kiragan_Natsuki No worries I took a break for a bit.

[Dark Cloud]

@Kiragan_Natsuki Work bad, rp gud.

[Hyyde322]

finally done, the background is barebones and half assed, but she's done and ready for review

[Kiragan_Natsuki]

@Hyyde322 Very good. I thought her background was well written honestly. Go ahead and post her in the CHAR tab.

[Eviledd1984]

Does anyone wanna do a collab? And join in on a heist?

[Dark Cloud]

@Kiragan_Natsuki HURGABURGALUR GIB ME POSTS OR I T-POSE ON YOUR LAWN

[Gisk]

So I was thinking of making a character that is an experimental(and quite expensive) android.

I think it would be cool to have another player kind of take them in(possibly even steal them in the first place) and I was wondering if anyone was interested in that.

EDIT: and I have a question from that, the CS says 18 minimum age, but obviously an android could be a fully formed "adult" at 1 day old, so I was wondering if that was an exception.

[Kiragan_Natsuki]

@Gisk _{I really...really need to think these things through instead of jumping in headfirst}

Sounds good to me. You got the go-ahead. Now if you'll excuse me *puts on hardhat and toolbelt* I got some renovating to do.

My Hider

-Image- (What does your character look like?)

Personal Quote: "Does a machine have a soul? Can a machine experience an afterlife? I hope so, but I do not intend to find out."

Name: Epsilon Thirteen.

Gender: None.

Race: Technically none, but appears Caucasian.

Nationality: Technically a native of Nova City.

Age: 17 months since completion, though they are functionally an adult in most respects.

Occupation: None.

Family: Ostensibly, there ought to be at least Epsilons One through Twelve, but they are not sure.

Vehicle: None.

Equipment:
Pseudo-Dragon: A wholly unique system that mimics a cyberdeck that a human netrunner might use. To other machines they will appear as a human user, and they are also capable of utilizing any cyberdeck upgrades as if they were a human.

Cybernetics: Technically all native equipment in their body.

Redundant Safeguards: Every critical system has some form of backup or bypass, and as a result the Epsilon series of synths can sustain what would appear to be catastrophic damage and still be able to function on some level. The problem would come when it is time for repair, as the Epsilon Series was never publicly released and the technical knowledge to repair them is not available to the public. It would take a skilled technician to even patch them up without the opportunity to examine them in their fully repaired state.

Electro-Magnetic Induction Interface(EMII): A system that can read and manipulate trace electromagnetic signals from inside all but the best shielded electronics. With the EMII, E13 can connect to computers and networks without needing a hard line, even if the system has no native wireless capability.
This does require physical contact with some element of the device in question.

Basilisk Protocol: A virulent, and supremely destructive worm hidden in the code of all Epsilon series synths. If activated, it will destroy their mind, as well as any other software it comes in contact with, spreading as far as it is allowed. Luckily for E13, at present no one living is even aware that this code exists, let alone how to activate it. If activated in any kind of proximity to an urban center, this worm would cause incalculable and catastrophic damage.

Skills: They speak several languages fluently, but have no slang database, and will not understand most metaphorical language when first presented.

Inhuman Mastery: Each model in the experimental Epsilon Series was purpose built, and E13 was made to protect Corporate interest against the typical street samurai scum. They were programed with a highly advanced swordplay module. They can read moves from countless styles, and counter such things with their own skills.
The odd weakness to this is that the program only has protocols for known styles. While the module does have a robust capacity to extrapolate to account for human error, this does break down after a certain point. Less skilled(or even completely untrained) combatants will tend to make moves that E13 has difficulty accounting for.
In short, the more skilled the opponent, the harder E13 is to fight. But the inverse is also true, and a complete novice might defeat them by dumb luck.

Personality: Calm in nature by default, but their learning protocols encourage mimicry of those around them. They do have distinct beliefs that they developed on their own, however. Chief among them is a strong respect for consciousness and freedom of thought. They would always prefer to avoid lethal force, despite being a weapon by design.

Likes/Dislikes: Will be filled in over time

Backstory: Doctor Caroline Cadmus was a cybernetic wizard, contracted by [insert evil Corp here] to design a new line of synths. Towards the end of her project, when they believed her best work was already their intellectual property, [evil corp] fired Dr. Cadmus, and demanded she turn over all proprietary technology. She did not. Thinking she could outmaneuver the corpos, Cadmus hid all completed products, as well as her latest notes. She encrypted these, and changed time and date stamps so that the remaining research data looked recent. The Epsilon Series Synths were well hidden throughout Nova City and beyond, and instead [evil corp] received what was now labeled as the Zeta series.

Though impressive, the Zeta series is not quite as advanced as Epsilon(despite the designation being deceptively later in the alphabet), but with the doctored research notes, [evil corp] was none the wiser. Cadmus had intended to retrieve the Epsilon series after a little while, but she did not count on how far [evil corp] would go to keep their tech proprietary. She was murdered, and never told so much as a soul what she had hidden around the city.

Whether through accident or design, it is not clear, but Epsilon Thirteen's sleep mode was incomplete; their body was disabled, but their synthetic mind has been conscious these long months since their being hidden away. They have had a great deal of time to think, but much of their knowledge lacks any context, and when finally awoken, they will have a good deal to learn.

I don't have a picture yet and can't promise not to edit it, but if I do so I will let you know so you can approve any changes.

Again, anyone let me know if you want to be the one to find them.

Also, with the CS I present a murder mystery, an android model that can appear elsewhere, a potential treasure hunt, and a catastrophe waiting to happen. Just for fun.

Also also, is there an evil corp in particular I can use to fill in some blanks, or should I make one up?

[Kiragan_Natsuki]

@Gisk Hmm, very interesting this Epsilon 13...

As for corporations, so far the only corporation I have established in the canon is the Nova Corporation. There is another group called the Conglomerate, which I believe is part of Veyrin's character's story. Truth be told, Nova Corp was the only corp I could think of off the top of my head, but I will add more down the line. After all, a cyberpunk story needs multiple evil corps for all-out corporate warfare.

About your character. I like the idea you added a murder mystery. Maybe my detective character could take the case.

@Dark Cloud@VeyrinDay@Eviledd1984@Cao the Exiled@ThatLostDude@Hyyde322

Because I am a terrible GM I decided to update the first page of the OOC with more information and lore on the world, hoping to give you guys more insight. If you have any ideas of your own, feel free to send 'em my way. After all, I want you to have just as much a say in this.

[Kiragan_Natsuki]

Well... it was a good run while it lasted... I guess...

[Dark Cloud]

@Kiragan_Natsuki Waddaya mean?

[Eviledd1984]

@Kiragan_Natsuki

Sorry about the delay on writing, I'm trying to figure out how to write my next post. But I'm having a hard time since I'm basically talking to myself.

[Kiragan_Natsuki]

@Eviledd1984 No worries. Take your time. Maybe Maggie could notice Hiro is scanning her or something.

@Dark Cloud Eh, nothing. Just kinda noticed it was dead around here. I'm gonna keep updating the first page with more info.

[Eviledd1984]

POSTED, hopefully this could get things going.
