[OOC] The Assassination Trade

[Jurassic Weeb]

It has been almost two centuries since the third World War. Across the planet, mankind killed each other in droves, to the point that all contact was lost between continents. In North America a new government rose to power after the end of WWIII: a theocratic monarchy known simply as Illumination. The first leaders had good intentions, to bring people together to rebuild. But with each passing generation, the people in command have become more and more depraved, more and more drunk with power.

At the very top of Illumination is the Prophet. The current Prophet, Lucifer IV, has been deemed to be the very incarnation of the devil himself. During his rule, the people have suffered more in the span of twenty years than during his father Lucifer III's entire rule.

But the people are weary of the evil that comes from Illumination. They have seen loved ones hurt and killed in every way imaginable by the upper classes. Dissent has created the first sparks of revolution.

Many people still worship Sol, the sun god that the first Prophet told about, and fear that Lucifer is indeed his descendant. But he's just a man. Behind the guards and armies, the walls of stone and bureaucracy, his heart-- the black, shriveled thing that it is-- still beats. And that means one thing.

This supposed "god" can be killed. We of the Huntsman Clan will see to it that he does, in a way that makes his depraved followers' hobbies of torturing the people in their own ways seem mild.

Illumination

As stated above, Illumination is the theocratic monarchy in control of the majority of North America. The leader is known as the Prophet. The first Prophet, Samuel I, had good intentions when founding Illumination. As time has gone on, the government has become more and more corrupt. Under the rule of the current Prophet, things are worse than ever.

The Huntsman Clan

As its name suggests, the Huntsman Clan was originally a nomadic warrior tribe that was feared in the aftermath of World War III. They had a reputation of being the fiercest warriors and hunters of their time. When Illumination came into power, a large number of the clan were wiped out for not worshiping Sol and the Prophet. At this time, only a small number of pure descendants of the original Huntsman Clan remain. A few years ago the leader of the Huntsman Clan joined the Underground, and was made a separate unit for assassination and covert surveillance.

Current Target

Oban Chou
Boss of the Chou mob, the largest organized crime syndicate in the Capital. The mob controls nearly every kind of shady business in the city-- drug dealing, extortion, prostitution, contract killing, you name it, they probably do it. Oban himself has quite a few politicians under his thumb thanks to bribery. If the opportunity presents itself, his direct subordinates should be eliminated as well.

[The Survivor]

Name: Abraham Niteyen
Call sign: 'Judge'
Age: 46
Appearance:

appearance

Gear:

Abraham wears stolen Illumination soldier body armor under a dark trench coat. The armor is riddled with bullet holes but is still effective, the armor color is faded black, Kevlar weave being visible along certain parts of the armor. He wears gray camo trousers with tactical pouches on either leg. He also wears black combat boots.

-He wields two modified pistols that have varying ranges and fire rates, from close to long range and single to automatic fire. The pistols themselves are completely black, save for a silver gavel engraved on the hilt of each. He calls the left one 'Jury' and the right one 'Executioner'.

-Besides his pistols, he has an extremely large Bowie knife strapped to his right thigh. It's slightly curved with a black leather wrapped hilt. Burned along the blade is the name 'Jericho'.

Abilities: Exposed to a radioactive deposit when he was young, Abraham as the ability to go into a state he calls "Cross-Examination". With this ability, Abraham's reflexes are enhanced so much that everything seems slow to him. While no scientist, Abraham believes the radioactive deposit he was accidentally exposed to as an infant enhanced his brain power, allowing him to use his ability for short periods of time.

Personality: Abraham is quiet, reserved, and thoughtful. He can be irritable and grumpy at times, especially when talking to someone he doesn't know particularly well. He has his own sense of Justice, what crimes deserve death or simply a beating. He encourages his comrades to fight their hardest and often helps them in their trouble areas. Being one of the more senior members, people often look to him for advice. And while he occasionally indulges them, he often leaves them to their own devices, believing the best advice anyone can get is experience.

He feels the need to fight the Illumination to find his family, but also right the wrongs he did in his past and pay for his cruel and brutal nature.

Backstory: Abraham was born in the high class society of the elite, loyalists to the Illumination. His parents were both Doctors who specialized in medical research for the Illumination. Abraham was raised being brainwashed into believing that the Illumination was the savior of the world, as well as his sister, Roxanne, who was two years younger than him. Abraham was talented in everything he did and throughout much of school he was on the popular kids. He was cruel though, uncaring, targeting weaker students to satisfy his own power urges. This was not a trend who would grow out of until much, much later.

He graduated High School at 18 and joined the Illumination Military Academy to become an Army Officer. There he met his wife, Angela. Much like high school, Abraham dominated the environment. Top of his class, known for his strict and effective reputation. He was officially commissioned as an officer at 22 years old. While serving for the next 10 years, he would earn a reputation like he did in the academy. Brilliant, strict, and effective. The men who came under his command would be in many dangerous positions, but they would be the best. His daughter was born when he 27, he and Angela named her Rosanne. He still maintained a decent relationship with his family, all serving the Illumination in some way or another.

It wasn't until Abraham was 32, that his life would take a turn for the worse. His parents were suspected of leaking information to insurgent and rebel cells. They were found guilty. A death squad was sent to their house and gunned them down. Abraham was visiting that day. An hour later, he found his parents dead and heard a rumor about an Internal investigation that resulted in a death squad being deployed. He put two and two together. He then received a call that his sister had detained his wife and child and that Angela was on trial. Enraged by his sister's betrayal, he grabbed a weapon and stormed the court building they were in. He didn't make it far. He took 3 bullets to his Illumination armor and he retreated, being hunted by multiple death squads. He disappeared into the city. Three days later, his wife was executed. He heard rumors that his sister had taken custody of his daughter. And he would do anything to get her.

For the next 5 years, Abraham worked alone. He attacked the Illumination left and right with various different rebel groups. But he never got close to his family. When he was 37, he was contacted by the Huntsman clan and was offered membership. He accepted.

[Jurassic Weeb]

Looks good thus far. :)

[Jurassic Weeb]

Boss's profile is up! Will work on my main character later.

[Jurassic Weeb]

Name: Hunter Drake
Call sign: Shade
Age: 17
Appearance: Hunter stands at 5'8", and is of an average build, with broad shoulders. His complexion is quite pale, and never seems to burn or tan. His usual outfit consists of black steel toe shoes, old jeans, a white or gray shirt, and a black jacket. At all times he wears black fingerless gloves and black goggles with reflective gold lenses. In combat he wears a black balaclava with a stylized white skull on the front, as well as a tattered black, hooded cloak.
Gear: Olympia (hand-and-a-half sword), wrist-mounted Tac-Pad (includes navigation and GPS functions, among others)
Personality: Despite his tough call sign and exterior, Hunter is a polite young man, who tends to be shy and standoffish in social situations. While it may take time to earn his trust or friendship, he is completely loyal to his friends and comrades. However a switch seems to flip in his head when preparing for combat. Because of his past, he has a great hatred towards those who abuse women and children, and will often go out of his way to kill them in an excruciating manner. While his comrades know of this side, most understand why he is this way.
Backstory: Born outside the Capital, Hunter's parents died when he was thirteen. With a younger brother to take care of, he dropped out of school and began working around their hometown so that his brother Jax could continue going to school. Two years ago the mayor of the town took over teaching. Little did anyone know that he simply wished to indulge his pedophilic nature. Shortly after, Jax committed suicide, leaving a note for Hunter that told what the mayor had done. Something snapped in his head, and the young man killed the mayor after paying his second in command to abandon him in the nearby woods. With the mayor dead, his second in command took over, and swiftly betrayed Hunter. He has been on the run ever since, and is one of the members of the Clan that cannot walk around freely, since he is on wanted posters.
Notes: - Loves graphic novels, and has a small stash of mamga that is from before WWIII.
- Unless he has worked with them for a while, Hunter is awkward with women in social situations.
- Ironically, Hunter acts like some of the other guys (including the Boss) and sometimes peeks in on the women's bath. More often than not, if they're caught, he's left behind to be mercilessly attacked by the women. However he knows what lines can and cannot be crossed, and is otherwise quite chivalrous to women outside of combat.

Two lovely little girls

Name: Faye

Call sign: Titania

Age: 26 (appears to be 12-13 years old)

Appearance:

Faye

Faye is a very petite young woman, who is definitely much older than she looks. With her large blue eyes, small face and long wavy hair, it isn't unusual to see this woman using her childish looks to deceive her opponents. She's often seen in white and green bell sleeved dress that comes down to her knees, combat boots and a simple short cape with jagged edges. Her looks have often been compared to that of a fairy, with her thin build, pretty face and graceful movements. Faye stands at a mere 5'0. Her pointed ears and stunted growth are a sign of her mutation.

Gear: A very large pair of bladed fans which Faye calls her 'Wings'. They're actually quite captivating to look at, the colours ranging from light pinks to deep purples.

Abilities: A strange mutation in Faye's body has enabled her to jump much higher than the average human and extreme acrobatic skills (including amazing balance). She also possesses very fast reflexes and speed. Her grace and little to no effort in slicing down large numbers of people is what earned her the name 'Titania'.

Personality: Outwardly fun and cheerful, Faye is one of the supposedly more laid back members of the Huntsman Clan. She enjoys teasing others every now and then, and is actually very playful and a nice person to hang around. Although her words can sting sometimes, Faye isn't a bad person, and cares deeply for her close friends. Her drive to create a better world can be seen through her much more calm and serious side, and even if she does have some childish tendencies she will never be one to go into battle without a plan. Although not that old, Faye thinks of herself to be a wise woman, and doesn't hesitate to give advice to other people if needed.

Notes: Faye has a tendency to twirl her hair whenever she's talking to someone.

Shared Backstory:

-

The tale of these two women is a rather long one; but in a nutshell, we can say that these two have been through a lot together.

Any memories of Faye's parents are merely just vague, distorted images. For as long she could remember, Faye had always been part of a small circus that would travel around the city every now and then. Her natural talent for tightrope walking and amazing acrobatic skills was immediately noticed, and she soon became one of the stars of the show. Always dressed in her famous fairy costumes, the name Titania would always ring a bell in the circus's audience.

And so, Faye continued to live and perform, ceasing to age once she hit thirteen. It was when she was sixteen when she came across a wounded child while strolling through the darkness. If not for this certain girl's striking red hair, then Faye would have turned a blind eye towards her soon-to-be best friend.

Bruises and cuts covered the girl's skin, much to Faye's horror. The teen knew stuff like this happened, but she never thought she would see it with her own eyes. The girl, who looked around thirteen or so, refused to speak even a word. All she did was shake in her torn clothes and reddened skin. Of course, Faye took pity on the seemingly abused girl, dragging her back to the circus in hopes she could stay and be looked after for a while. Surprisingly enough, they did, but they would have to let the red head roam elsewhere after a week or so.

However, a day before she was to be sent on her way, Amaya displayed something that would eventually earn her a spot in the circus. After Faye had dropped a coin and struggled to reach for it, Amaya would lift up the large wardrobe with her own two hands. Faye couldn't recall anyone displaying superhuman strength in the circus yet.

So, Amaya stayed.

Although not as popular as the famous Titania, Amaya earned the simple stage name 'Roux'. Her display of her immense brute strength shocked the crowd, and soon enough Titania and Roux where the highlights of the show. This would go on until Faye turned twenty and Amaya turned ten; that was when things took a turn for the worst.

It all started off as just a walk in the dark with those two girls. Then, out of nowhere, bandits surrounded them, threatening them to empty out their pockets. These bandits where much more well equipped than Faye and Amaya had previously thought, and the two somehow got separated. With Faye being beaten to the ground and Amaya being held back on the floor, their deaths seemed inevitable.

"Leave her alone," where Amaya's first words in a long while.

And with that said, the group of bandits where smashed into the alleyway walls. Literally smashed into them, flesh, blood and all.

The 'foolish' act of Amaya would lead her to be thrown out of the circus completely. Nobody wanted a murderer walking around on stage. Knowing the young girl couldn't possibly look after herself on the streets (even if she was already 5'9 at the age of ten), Faye followed, letting the stage name Titania fade away from people's memories. Six years later, the two figured it was about time they found a way to make a use for their useless selves.

And the Huntsman Clan would definitely be able to fuel their needs.

Name: Amaya

Call sign: Roux

Age: 16 (appears to be 25-26 years old)

Appearance:

Amaya

Unlike her close friend, Amaya is a very tall, muscular girl who is much younger than she looks. Her face and eyes are quite sharp and angular, and she is the literal opposite of Faye. She prefers much darker colours, donning a black raincoat that reaches her waist and a dark blue top and pants underneath. Most people tend to stay away from her, with her beady eyes and towering body. Amaya stands at a staggering 6'5.

Gear: A strong, bullet proof umbrella with a large, sharp tip at the end. Amaya treats this weapon like a rapier, but uses other features of the umbrella to defend herself (a button that automatically springs the umbrella open).

Abilities: Her superhuman strength is truly terrifying, capable of shattering bricks like glass and even denting steel. Amaya also has an extremely high pain tolerance, and has even been rumoured to not being able to feel pain at all (this is far from the truth, however).

Personality: Her scary looks differ very much from her Amaya's actual personality; extremely shy, extremely awkward and rarely speaks a couple of words a day, this girl isn't too comfortable with interacting with others, unlike the sociable Faye. She's extremely self conscious of her height and her 'masculine' figure, being only sixteen years of age and still developing physically and mentally. Amaya's always seen lingering behind Faye, and usually let's her do the talking. She shares close bonds with the people she really trusts, and tries her best to come out of her shell every once in a while. Amaya is probably one of the sweetest people out there; you just need to get a bit closer to her first.

Notes: Because she rarely speaks, some have created a small 'competition' in which they try to get Amaya to say at least seven sentences a day (which has only succeeded about once or twice). This results in many comedic situations, due to Amaya's oblivious nature.

Hoo, sorry about the wait on my end. I'm working a lot lately. Also Windows decided to restart my PC without my permission so my CS was lost. I'll get back on track soon.

EDIT:

Here you go!

Alek Bartosz

Name: Alek Bartosz
Age: 24
Callsign: Bard
Gender: Male
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 178 lbs

Appearance:

TBD

Gear:

- Standard battle dress consists of a durable pair of cargo pants -- usually in a versatile brown or green color -- and a short sleeve tee shirt. For colder weather or when undercover, Alek wears a simple pair of jeans, a button-up shirt, and a brown stealth jacket.

- Mission gear is typically carried on a utility belt with ample real estate for pouches, holsters, or anything else that can be clipped on. In most situations, the belt is largely vacant save for a pistol holster, two scabbards, and a medium sized pouch for miscellaneous items. When operating incognito, gear is kept to a minimum and all equipment is allocated to two shoulder holsters hidden under a jacket. In non-stealthy operations, Alek will sometimes don a chest rig or crossdraw vest.

- Alek's fireams vary based on the mission, but he favors the Jericho 941 .45 handgun. If more firepower is needed, he will carry a submachine gun, usually one that is compact and can be fired with one hand if necessary. Alek is familiar with higher-caliber rifles, but his specialization in infiltration and CQB generally renders them useless due to their large size.

- The bread and butter of Alek's gear is the pair of modified jutte he uses as his primary weapons. Though historically a defensive weapon used to parry and disarm opponents, these baton-like tools have been altered to deliver a powerful kinetic blast upon contact. Paired with Alek's genetically enhanced dexterity and flexibility, these weapons -- these Krzyże -- are a force to be reckoned with.

Abilities:

A product of selective human breeding, Alek posesses excellent dexterity, flexibility, hearing, and eyesight, making him an ideal reconassaince operative. The extent of his abilities is unclear, but they are undoubtedly potent; one account recalls Alek snatching a thrown knife out of the air. With his feet. While in a handstand.

Backstory:

Despite being born into a family considered relatively low within the social hierarchy, Alek was brought up well due to his involvement in Illumination's selective breeding experiments. Like the other children bred through the program, Alek was well-educated in both theoretical topics and practical skills. Though an excellent subject as far as intelligence and physical abilities were concerned, Alek was very apathetic towards conditioning -- his attitude toward Illumination was not one of loyalty or awe, but rather just a fact of life. Such an attitude would have resulted in his ejection from the program and subsequent "termination" were it not for a convenient raid on his learning facility by a rebel faction. The raiders offered freedom for the adolescents, and Alek took the opportunity.

(More TBD)
Personality:

How a man with such potent observational abilities can be so oblivious to social cues is a quandry unsolved. Alek is a man with a heart of gold, a playful disposition, and an uncanny charisma. Yet somehow, the man posesses immesurable talent at being intolerable. His honesty quickly turns into rudeness, his confidence into arrogance, and his playfulness into annoyance. It's not something he does with malicious intent, but most people don't catch onto that fact. The ones that do realize such and are able to see past it find themselves with a loyal friend and comrade for life. Whether they want one or not.

Notes:

Surprisingly, Alek is an excellent singer. This doesn't suit him at all.

@Otaku95 So, is my little fairy and my giant red head accepted?

@Jay Kalton Oh sorry. Yeah.

@Otaku95 Just a Note: While Abraham is technically a military fugitive, he hasn't been identified in years, so he wouldn't be on any wanted posters or recognizable by the majority of people.

[Jurassic Weeb]

Bumping.

I think I'm gonna rework my character. I feel like he doesn't fit thematically in the RP at all.
