@Daxam

You, my good sir, have awesome taste. Game made me legitimately tear up at the end. :)

It was impossible for me not to feel like a badass during that last fight. I'm just sad that more people don't know of its existence XP I also like your sig. Love CC <3

[Fairess]

I realize this is very late into the acceptance period, but I thought I'd try my hand at these pseudo-angels. I understand that I'm starting off with a very militant character to begin with, but I feel like the career was a decent approach and honestly, it was the only one I could think of given the exceptionally dark aspects of this fictional world. So here she is, for better or worse. Name: Nemesis Gender: Female Character Type: Cyborgel Appearance: What skin remains of Nemesis’ is pale and fair. Her head is mostly intact, though many parts of her skull and the majority of her spine have been replaced. She has one ear intact: the other is composed of a wireless receiver that connects deeper into her brain. All four of her limbs are mostly missing from her elbows and knees down—all that remains is bone that has been mostly supplanted by metal. She leans towards a lanky build, but the features of her face remain angelic, sporting a soft nose and chin. She is a natural redhead and has blue eyes. As for wings—these have also been stripped down to bone and replaced with gears and joints to maintain their use (these have since been damaged and are inoperable in her current state). Oddly enough, her natural white feathers still grow from her bones and pockets of functional flesh. These metal-plated bones (and various other parts of her limbs that are fully replaced by metal and mechanisms) have a copper color. As far as clothes, Nemesis wears whatever is required of the occasion, though her career has mostly dictated plain bodysuits and helmets. Career: Nemesis was one of the angels whose mental adjustments did not go well. Having lost nearly everything that was her former life, all that remained was a passionate, burning rage. She was not compatible for service-related tasks, and rather than completely scrapping her, she was given a bodysuit and put into military testing for mechanized soldiers and untested military equipment. In simple terms, she was kept in captivity and released to tear apart robotic prototypes, thus exposing weaknesses while highlighting the strengths of each respective model. Naturally, it was not a career she could last long in. Recovery that took weeks between trials became months as each fracture, rupture, and replacement became more complicated to repair. When she was deemed useless, her weapon implements (namely prototype blades) were removed and she was on the brink of being tossed away with the very same robotic ruins she’d destroyed. This state of ruin, however, had sated the mindless vengeance she had survived with. Her temperament was mild, not far from comatose, and she was still capable of responding to orders. Given the money spent on her physical adjustments, the company is still in debate over whether she should be re-assigned or simply left to rot. Skills:

• Bludgeoning: Close combat involving the use of fists is part of the reason she has no flesh left on her hands.
• Sword Use: Close combat involving the use of mundane and plasma blades.
• Supplemented Strength: Due to most of her skeletal and muscle structure being replaced by machinery, she has twice the strength of a normal man, allowing her to pry apart metal sheets and break small bricks.
• Robotic Destruction: Taking apart experimental machinery has given her a refined approach to killing machines—she knows where the weakest points of most combat-related weaponry and mechs are, where their power sources are, and how to bypass impenetrable metal shells to disrupt their power sources.
• Crystal-Code Reading: Due to an implant in her brain called the Crystex-Reader 430, she is capable of reading coded information burned onto Crystex Cores. Crystex Cores are banks of physical memory that can record most, if not all known medias. They are, however, formed from rare materials and require very specific devices to burn data onto them. For this reason, they are used almost exclusively in the military to record and share sensitive information. In the case of Nemesis, the Crystex-Reader 430 was implanted directly into her brain. It can read Crystex Cores inserted into the device that was once her ear (referenced above) and relay the information at will to her brain. Her brain still has to read and process the information, but this was a very direct means of teaching her how to use equipment that was later applied to her body to be tested.

Supernatural Abilities: Flight—one would assume. Personality:

• Willful
• Loyal
• Logical
• Sadistic
• Brooding

Bio: Nemesis has only recently come to recall shreds of her past—with her body broken, she had nothing left but to ruminate on her own existence. She knows that, to some extent, she was once a leader responsible for dispatching troops, but who she may have commanded and for what reason she cannot recall. She has the vague understanding that she was once a whole being, without machinery, and that thought alone had caused the rage that sustained her through so much bodily damage. Apart from those vague facts, she is left only with procedural memory: to respond immediately to commands without question was ingrained into her long before she became a testing puppet for the government. Her grace with the blade has also always been natural to her, and on occasion, she finds herself ruminating on things she has no former recollection or context of, like the patterns of the stars. Likes: Standing over dismantled robotic foes, warm temperatures, physical exercise, puzzles that blueprints present, and examining objects she has not yet seen before. Dislikes: Medical centers, animals (she cannot comprehend them), sleep, situations that do not have a very specific objective to accomplish. Theme Song: N/A Other: REBORN

I present to you, the rivals of the century! Yuri the Ivan

My Hider

Name: Yuri Volkova Gender: Male Character Type: Human Appearance: Description: Standing at 5'9, Yuri has a well-built body thanks to his time in the military. Since he is in Russia, he usually wears thick or furry clothing for the cold but will readily ditch it when he goes to somewhere warmer. Like a stereotypical Russian, Yuri really likes ushankas and will wear them whenever possible and when it does not get in the way. Career: Former military. Currently a Revolutionary. Skills: *Expert melee combatant (especially with his tomahawk-knife combo) *Average marksmanship *Can rally people with speeches Supernatural Abilities: N/A Personality: =Defiant =Brave =Brutal =Fair =Poetic Bio: Yuri was born 4 years before the angels came in a rural village in Russia. There he was taught patience, hard work and other idealistic virtues which Yuri brought with him as he aged. When he was 15 years old and right when Cyborgels were being handed out, he went to St. Petersburg to get higher education where he met Friedrich Kroenen, a German just two years older than him, who is also studying there until he could get back to Germany. The two became great friends because of their shared interest in philosophy. Both enlisted in the military to keep the citizens of New Society safe from the radical revolutionaries. Both became close to the unit they were assigned to and both seemed on the way to becoming fire-forged brothers. However, Yuri was a big fan of conspiracies and liked looking into things beyond what they looked like. The Russian was once anti-angel and was glad they were defeated for he thought their heavenly appearance were lies and readily believed the words against them. But one thing bugged Yuri. How and where did the anti-angel weaponry came from? And why were there Cyborgels, androids that looked like the enemy? There were reasons but Yuri found them lacking to have servants modeled after the enemy. Because of this, Yuri and other like-minded individuals in his unit, tried to delve deeper. He invited Friedrich in the search for the truth but unfortunately his German friend did not share his ideals and, under orders from the higher-ups, had Yuri detained. Or at least tried to have Yuri detained. The Russian caught wind of this and fled with the other associates. Yuri went low in Russia for a while and continued to search for the truth. It was then he managed to get a hold of a friendly revolutionary who told him the whole story of what happened to the angels. Yuri was a bit skeptical at first but believed in it after connections from the story and the current things made perfect sense. Days after the revelation, Yuri decided to return to his home village to start spreading the word of the revolutionaries. However, he found his village under attack from the military... with Friedrich Kroenen at the lead. Trying to detain him was one thing but Yuri could not believe his former friend would lay waste on his village. Yuri could only watch as his home burned and his family put to death. The Russian swore he would get revenge and the fates blessed him with an opportunity when Friedrich's unit decided to take a rest in the village's ruins. Using his training and knowledge of the military, the element of surprise some well-placed explosives, he managed to take out his friend's troops and also set Friedrich on fire via Molotov Cocktail. His former friend managed to douse himself with a nearby puddle before running towards the woods. Yuri chased after him ultimately lost him to the woods' fog. Knowing that his traitorous friend was probably still alive, Yuri officially joined the revolutionaries to fight for the oppressed angels and the deceived mankind and in the hopes he would encounter his friend again. He fought the military arm of New Society continuously, while hearing about a captain among them wearing a gas mask, to where he is now, hoping to meet Friedrich Kroenen for one last reunion. OPTIONAL Likes: +Cyborgels +Freedom +Philosophy +Cookies Dislikes: -Desium Corp. -New Society -Friedrich Kroenen Theme Song: Other: "We were lied to. All this time we've been fighting the wrong enemy. The angels really have come to bring us, humanity, salvation. To deliver us to the next world. And what did we, humanity, do? We looked the other way. We listened to the venomous lies of opportunists, of power-hungry men, of demons in human flesh. We fought against our saviors and enslaved every last one of them. Turned them into mindless servants for us, humanity, who then indulged in the many sinful vices of life and forgot the virtues of our great ancestor heroes. But the fight is not over. Once the true revolution begins, the world will be REBORN anew and the facade of peace Desium Corp. imposes will come crashing down! The angels will once again take their rightful place as judges and... I hope they forgive us for what we've done. Though I will not be surprised if they do not, if they condemn us all to Hell. It is what we deserve after all, after our numerous blasphemies and pain we've caused them."

Friedrich the Jerry

My Hider

Name: Friedrich Kroenen Gender: Male Character Type: Human Appearance: Description: Friedrich has badly burnt skin and so hides the ugliness and the shame of defeat beneath his uniform and gas mask. Of course the uniform lacks the swastikas and the iron crosses and stuff. He stands at 6'0 and has a well-built, but burned, body thanks to his training in the military. Career: Military Skills: *Expert melee combat (prefers the saber and arm-blade combo) *Above average marksmanship *Average commander Supernatural Abilities: N/A Personality: =Cold =Brave =Brutal =Ruthless =No-nonsense Bio: Friedrich was born in Berlin, Germany 6 years before the angels came but had to move to St. Petersburg, Russia because of a family business trip. They could not make the trip back however and ended up studying there where he met Yuri Volkova, a Russian two years younger than him, despite the other Russians ignoring him. The two became great friends because of their shared interest in philosophy. Both enlisted in the military to keep the citizens of New Society safe from the radical revolutionaries. Both became close to the unit they were assigned to and both seemed on the way to becoming fire-forged brothers. However, Yuri was a big fan of conspiracies and liked looking into things beyond what they looked like. Friedrich did not like this about Yuri and continuously told him to simply accept things as they were before he gets into trouble. And trouble Yuri did get into as Friedrich received orders to detain his friend and his like-minded associates. While he was not happy with the order, Friedrich complied and with the help of the rest of the unit, tried to apprehend Yuri and and the other associates. He failed, however, for Yuri apparently knew about it and the Russian escaped from the military's grasp. Friedrich was part of the team that looked for Yuri to compensate for his failure but after a year, the case was dropped and the German was assigned to his original position of taking down the revolutionaries. He was glad though, even though he was an enemy, he did not have to hunt down his friend no longer. One day Friedrich, now a commander of a unit, got orders to clear out a Russian village secretly aligned with the revolutionaries. The German went without hesitation and laid siege to village, knowing little this was Yuri's home village. After properly occupying it and getting some rest, some surprise attacks and explosions manage to decimate his unit, his sworn brothers whom he had known and gotten close to in the years. When the culprit showed himself, he could not believe his eyes that his longtime friend was the one who annihilated his squad. Yuri, taking advantage of his disbelief, tossed a Molotov Cocktail at him and setting him on fire. Friedrich, despite being in fire and in panic, found a miraculous puddle among the piles of snow in which he dropped himself to rid the flames. He fled to the woods where he eventually lost Yuri. Since then Friedrich, now wearing a gas mask to hide his unrecognizable burnt face, kept fighting the revolutionaries hoping to meet Yuri Volkova, who was probably still alive, for one last reunion. OPTIONAL Likes: +Order +New Society +Desium Corp. +Biscuits Dislikes: -Cyborgels -Revolutionaries -Yuri Volkova Theme Song: Other: "To this day I still wonder. Why are the revolutionaries fighting? Continuing to resist New Society? Do they not see that we have prevented Earth's demise? That we saved all of their lives? That we brought everlasting peace to the planet? We have made Earth REBORN as Heaven where no soul needs to suffer the hardships of life. Where people are actually happy and not 'enslaved happy'. A perfect utopia in the truest sense of the word. Yet the revolutionaries still fight. Continuing to fight for the old ways and that Heaven lies beyond death. Do they not wonder if that is not the case? Truly, I cannot comprehend these revolutionaries' minds. Perhaps that is the problem. They are sick in the mind."

So yeah these two go way back. If there are any problems regarding these two blokes, don't hesitate to tell. If there are any problemas, do tell. Oh and, REBORN! And if I may, do the humans know the demons are actually demons and not just some humans who had a different idea about the angels? P.S. I also noticed there is no picture for the sample pic for Mechangels. P.S.S. I'm late to the acceptance period, aren't I?

[ReaptheMusic]

Before I go over these CS's,@PaulHaynek@Fairess We were going to start the IC today since we have five, however, you still have the chance to be accepted granted I approve. I have warned you in the Rules that I am very harsh when it comes to critiqueing and helping to shape these characters to fit the world. And Paul, the example pic for the Mechangels is under the hider (within the said hider)

@ReaptheMusic

I see. If you're going to accept just one, I request that you accept Fairess. I can wait. And hiders within hiders is possible? This site is awesome!

[ReaptheMusic]

@Fairess First of all, I love the detail you put into her appearance. Before I even read her bio I can tell a story about her just on the information given to me there alone. It's short, it's delicious, and complex but simple at the same time. I applaud you. I could read your writing style for hours, and Nemesis legitimately scares me. She seems to be a force to be reckoned with within reason with discernible flaws to nicely balance out her character. However, on the topic of your Bio I ask you to PM me about what you mean by dispatching troops, exactly. That might interfere with my future plans for this rp depending on exactly what you mean by that. @PaulHaynek I'm thinking I may only accept one of your characters at this time. We have other people working on getting in too and I think I'll make the cutoff after you [Aeonumbra and Mr_Pink's characters will be the last ones I'll allow]. That being said, I'll critique both characters and you can choose which one you want to edit or keep. Your writing contains a few typos, but nothing bad. The style is very refreshing. I'm a little confused as to why the village was attacked, but I like that you've set a goal for them to achieve within the rp, and as the GM I'd be more than happy to give you a climactic battle when the time is right with me playing the rival of whoever you choose as an NPC. Of course you would still have your hand in it so that I could provide for you the best experience possible whenever they may clash, just pm me about it. To answer your other question, no, mankind doesn't know that the politicians are demons, as they're disguised and have always been disguised as humans. In truth not even the revolutionaries know. Nobody in New Society knows how deep this rabbit hole goes, and They'd go mad if they realized it led straight to hell.

[ReaptheMusic]

@Aeonumbra@Mr_Pink@Fairess@PaulHaynek Congradulations, you made it in just in time. Finish (or for Aeo, start) your Character sheets. Since you didn't get in too late you'll be happy to know that the IC is about to begin and you won't be too late for the party. To Everyone Else Welcome to New Society

Oh. I thought I get to control both of them fully. Oh well I guess I'll control the Russian guy. I prefer playing as the wacky revolutionary.

So Yuri?

[PaulHaynek]

<Snipped quote by PaulHaynek> So Yuri?

@ReaptheMusic

Yes, Yuri. Can I post the duo's sheets in the Characters tab or do I have to modify something about them?

[Daxam]

Hey, just letting everyone know I'm getting ready to go and will be I reachable until sometime tomorrow. I'll throw up my post when I return

[ReaptheMusic]

Of course Daxam, there's always a spot here for you. @PaulHaynek Post Yuri's CS in the Character tab, And I will place Friedrich in the NPC tab. We will communicate over the direction you want to go in when the time is right.

[Daxam]

Thanks, Reap. Just in case it takes longer than it should, consider my return to be on Sunday, so I don't inconvenience anyone by returning later than I said

[pure493]

Going to be putting my first post up in a moment!

I'll have my first IC post up in a little bit, but then I might be out for a few hours. I have a TTTOOONNN of homework to do before next week. Our robotics team is going to Salt Lake City for our competition, so I'll be missing a lot of school.
