Stolen Lives: A Runaway Story

Alrighty, I added more on Alice's history and about her procedure. Her back story definitely describes why she is such a dark type of person. Hopefully you don't think I went too dark with it lol.

Stolen Lives: A Runaway Story

Okay. Here we go, round 1 of CS reviews coming up. Apologies if I come off as harsh - I've got a bunch to do, so I'm only really hitting the areas that might want a tune up. If I don't mention it, chances are high that I liked it.

@MissCapnCrunch A very unique idea! Clockpunk has always been a favorite aesthetic of mine. I have three main notes that you may wish to address - the first being that her appearance doesn't seem to match with her nature as a clockwork girl recreated from a mangled body, unless Daedalus did an absurdly good job fixing her up to be normal. Second, her powers could be massively improved, if you wanted; this is, though a dark one, something of a superhuman RP, and I am worried that Charlize might be left without much to do if her only enhancements are 'permanent homeostasis'. Finally, her backstory at the moment reads a little more 'magical' than sci-fi, in that it seems like her father's efforts to rebuild her with random garbage actually had some effect, which is a stretch even by the incredibly stretchy sci-fi rules we've made here. An option you could consider is having her father actually have been a Daedalus Corp employee, which would explain not only how she passed into their possession but also how / why / if his attempt had any success. Something to consider.

@TheGrundlesnart The Dog! I really like how you played with the CS format to make it seem more like a document. Don't really have any specific notes, so, well done.

@Ever Alice is interesting - definitely an especially dark character. I think the CS could benefit from a bit more specific detail about her modifications as well as the experiences she's had growing up - she's come very far from the five year old that was stolen, so seeing some events from her life since then that lead to her development might be interesting.

@Hellion I only have one real note about Sam, which is that I'm not entirely sure what her powers can do - is 'manipulating tattoos' purely affecting the way they look, or something more? If the former, you could certainly put a bit more juice into it, if you want - your choice, of course.

@GingerBoi123 Gotta love a good cyber-soldier. The Ronin is great - I think he'd do well as a contrast to the other characters and work with the 'revenge' narrative well. My only note is that he seems very rooted in the trope of cyberpunk style soldier, and while there's nothing wrong with that I think he could benefit from some specific backstory elements or personality traits to set him apart as 'unique' (the 'favorite thing to do' is a good opportunity for this - the question is on the sheet because it can make characters feel more 'alive', if that makes sense).

Alright, I did it, finally. Again, these are all just suggestions - you're not obligated to take them and if you don't, that doesn't necessarily mean you won't get a spot. Thank you all so much for the great work, reading these CSes has been an absolute delight!

I should also probably get mine done at some point, come to think of it.

@Oxenfree

No problem! I’m usually more detail oriented and definitely should have added some more details in. Will definintely have more added by tomorrow!

Appearance

Much to Alice’s dismay, she is made to wear the same thing every day. A strong mask that keeps her jaw locked down and a jumpsuit with 624 on the back. Sometimes she dreams about wearing other clothes since the ones she always has to wear are a drag, but there is really no getting around that. Alice is actually quite pretty, it is just really hard to tell most days. The mask she is forced to wear actually hides her beautiful features. They have diminished slightly due to the fact her life is basically a prison, but they still remain. She has short blond hair that is almost pixie like and sticks out in different directions. Her eyes are a bright green color. Her skin is rather pale from never going outside, which helps make her eyes just that much brighter. They show the true pain and insanity that has developed in her and rarely ever have any nice kind of expression in them. In the rare times they do, it is given towards one of her fellow subjects. She stands about 5'3 and has an incredibly muscular build do to her boredom in prison. Alice also has quite visible scars on her neck from when they replaced her vocal cords.

Backstory

Alice has been at the facility she calls home since she was 5. This is why she doesn’t really remember much about her life, though bits and pieces of it come to her every so often in dreams. The faces of her parents and sibling are still hidden somewhere deep within her mind, but have become a little fuzzy over time. Her life in the beginning of things was rather normal. She was the daughter of quite nice people who loved her and her twin sister, Seraphina. She grew up in a small town in Georgia originally. However, one day when her parents had taken both her and her sister to the park for the afternoon, her life went into a downward spiral. While she was playing on the swings a man who was desperate for money and got paid by the Daedalus Corporation to bring in children, grabbed her while her parents weren’t looking. He tried to grab her twin sister as well, but she screamed and ran away the moment he touched her sister. Not wanting to be caught, he left Seraphina and only took Alice instead. He took her to the Daedalus Corporation the next day to collect his money and since that time she has not left the building. Her parents searched for her for quite some time. They paid news stations to take their interviews and broad cast her picture as much as they could. They were even at the police station multiple times a week trying to get any info they could from their search. Unfortunately for them and Alice, nothing ever came from those searches. The man who took her vanished and no one ever even knew about the Cooperation.

The years that followed that event certainly were what really changed Alice into what she is today. She was given multiple tests in the first few months she arrived, which is quite the traumatic experience for a child who was only 5. The scientists that worked there didn’t seem to have any sympathy that she was just a kid, to them she was just another experiment in the herd. Upon receiving all these tests, it was discovered that Alice was actually showing signs of already being a super powered human. There were times she was able to get people to do things by just asking them to. It was minor things, like telling them to stop touching her or to give her something that she wanted. This of course perked the interest of some of the higher up people in Daedalus Corporation, resulting in even more tests and a plan to develop her into an even stronger being than she would already be in the future. They waited a time before they did physical surgery on her just due to the fact they weren’t sure she would survive the surgery they wanted to give her at such a young age. They called it the observation stage, which really meant they just threw her into a cold cell with dim lighting and a mattress that smelled of mildew until they could use her again. They would sometimes let her out into general population with a bunch of somewhat insane super freaks that were typically much older than herself and much scarier looking.

It wasn’t until she was 15 that they finally did the surgery to enhance her powers. They knew she had some sort of mind control, or voice control as they called it at the time, but the people higher up wanted more than that. They wanted her to be destructive as well, which is why they wanted to see what giving her an ultra-sonic voice would do to her powers. Once the surgery was complete she was placed in the isolation ward to heal for a while. Many doctors were on her case making sure everything was healing well, but a few weeks in one of her main doctors decided it would be fun to take advantage of her being doped up. Dr. Norman Sears had always been weird around her since the time she had come to the facility. He would always touch her in an odd way and looked at her a little too affectionately. It was at this time that he finally decided to take that affection to the next level by trying to rape her. She had barely been able to speak since the surgery, which is why he obviously didn’t think her powers would be a problem for him. He was also able to get his buddy in security to cut the camera in the room to give him all the time he wanted. When Alice woke up to find him on top of her, she immediately started to squirm beneath him and gasp in pain. What Norman didn’t expect was Alice to latch onto him and scream violently in his ear. She had in fact been able to use her voice, she just hadn’t made it known to the stupid doctors yet. Luckily for him, the guards were able to get in a rip her off of him before his brain had turned to mush. He survived much to her dismay and still actually works there to this day, but was rendered completely deaf in his right ear and partially deaf in the left. She did well to leave her mark on him and now he hardly so much as looks in her direction. Apparently he knew just how close to dying he really had been. As much as she likes to toy with Dr. Sears now a days she still hates every part of his being. In fact, she still promises herself that if she ever broke free from this place and got that god forsaken mask off her face that he would be the first person she'd hunt down to kill.

Personality

Alice is what most would call fairly insane. Her prison like home has helped make her this way. She doesn’t exactly remember a time when she was truly happy, not even as a child. Sometimes she wonders if there ever really was a time when there was happiness in her life. Alice isn't the type to destroy the world, but has a thing for punishing others and making them suffer. This is why she has a great fondness for her power. Not only can she draw them in, but then can cause them extreme amounts of pain for however long she chooses. Of course the asshole scientists don’t let her really get away with torturing people very much. She is not one to play well with others, but is allowed in general population like everyone else. She just doesn’t get to talk very often to anyone. This is mainly due to her being easily set off by things. Even the slightest comment can make her want to break someone’s face. She has a very sarcastic type of nature and is hardly ever serious when she says things. That is unless it is a threat. Always assume she is serious if she threatens you. Alice doesn’t usually like authority and acts out often just to piss people off. It is the one joy in life that she actually has. She has a fear of fire and will become almost like a frightened child when she comes in contact with it. Alice doesn’t always get along with others, but knows the other subjects suffer as she does, which makes her a little friendlier around them than she is with the people who keep her prisoner.

Procedure

Alice's alteration was that they replaced her entire vocal cord system with robotics. At a young age the corporation had realized that Alice was in fact already super human. They didn’t exactly know how far her powers could reach, but they knew she had potential to be very powerful. They nicknamed her Siren for a while since she had the ability to attract people with her voice and get them to do what she wanted. This is what prompted the higher up people at Daedalus Corporp to see what else they could do with her voice. With those thoughts in mind they ripped out her vocal cords as well as her voice box and completely replaced them with a robotic system that would amplify her voice to ultra-sonic levels. The surgery was a success, which was made evident just a few weeks after her surgery had been done when she almost killed one of their own doctors.

It was due to that incident that they developed the mask she wears on a daily basis now. It is designed to cover her mouth and keep her jaw locked down, making her unable to speak so she can’t use her powers freely. There is a lock mechanism on the back of the mask that can only be unlocked by the thumb print of a supervisor.

Modifications:

Her vocal cords can amplify to a point that it will destroy everything around her. Depending on the amount she focuses she is able to go from destroying an entire building to destroying a whole city if she gets loud enough. Being in range of this when it happens can cause someone's head to literally explode. That is her strongest power.

Along with that power she has the ability to attract people with the sound of her voice whether it be a beautiful hum or just seductive speaking. Because of this she can manipulate people into doing what she wants, though she hasn’t learned how to use this power fully yet, especially since she is barely allowed to speak. This ranges from talking people into say kissing her or jumping off the side of a building. Almost like a form of mind control, but not quite on the same scale. When gagged or jaw clamped down her power is completely useless. They have been studying her powers for many years now and are starting to think her power of seduction will soon mutate to her eyes as well since manipulation was her natural power to begin with. She seems to be able to draw people in with a stare, but they have not tested this fully. They are still in the observation stage when it comes to this power.

Talents

Being as she has been at the Daedalus Corporation for so long she was never able to exactly develop many talents. One thing she can do is draw a little. She isn’t Picasso by any means, but she is somewhat good at that.

Looking Deeper

---

What do you value most? What (or who) are you most afraid to lose?

I value the few memories I do have of my childhood. I don’t remember much, but those glimpses that I do get are something I hope I never lose.

What was your favorite thing to do, before you were taken?

How the hell would I remember that?

What do you want?

I want what we all want. Freedom. I’m sick of this hell hole. I want to destroy every piece of it and everyone that works here.

Other:

I’ve found that I am bisexual, but right now I’m into women. That changes from time to time.

Stolen Lives: A Runaway Story

May I join? I have a character that will fit perfectly for this rp that! I can hopefully have mine up by tomorrow.

Craving something dark and dramatic. {18+}

Hey there!

I’ve been craving assasin characters going at each other, but then kinda falling for one another. Would that be something you are interested? Let me know.

Hour of Darkness: Part One (Ever & Euphemia)

Dang :( Okay, understable.

The Red Hoods: Initiates

Due to so many others already posting their sheet, maybe I can just be put in the reserves for if someone drops out? It will take me a little bit to get my sheet up so I'm sure many others will gets theirs in before me.

Red Hoods: Little Red Riding Hood

If you are accepting I’d love to be apart. I’d be very interested in playing a werewolf who has joined the hoods.

Hour of Darkness: Part One (Ever & Euphemia)

Sorry, my post was a little shorter than I intended, but I at least have something up!

Hour of Darkness: Part One (Ever & Euphemia)

Saphira Ducane

Sara’s face hardened as Eli approached her with a dark look in his eyes. The calm look in her eyes didn’t completely disappear, but her wings instantly ruffled in irritation the moment he came too close. As much as she loved him, she also knew that Elias De’Vol was a different person than he was when she last knew him. She also knew he was much more capable of harming her than he was then as well. However, she was slightly surprised by his reaction to her name. It seemed as if he was madder that someone was trying to trick him into believing that she was in fact herself. He actually didn’t believe that she was really Saphira and was an imposter instead. It relieved her that he didn’t believe who she was. That meant he wasn’t pretending he didn’t know her, not that she could tell anyway. Maybe he truly didn’t remember her face due to his vampiric changing. It was quite obvious that he remembered who she was, just not what she looked like. It did happen sometimes when you died and came back to life as another creatures. She wanted desperately to try and tell him that he was wrong, that she really was who she said she was. There was a few times she opened her mouth to try and tell him secrets only they would know, but he didn’t give her the chance at all. Every time she went to speak the truth he would cut her off and insist she was lying to him. It annoyed her slightly, though she didn’t let him know that fact. She didn’t like showing people her irritation towards them, she usually didn’t like showing anything to anyone other than her typical unreadable expression.

Her lips twitched when he advised her not to use her actual name in front of him again. Unfortunately for him, he didn’t realize that Saphira Ducane didn’t take orders from anyone other than someone of divine nature or God himself. Vampires, werewolves, witches, and demons were not creatures she would ever do anything they ordered her to do. It didn’t matter that it was Elis. His words only held so much power over her now a days, at least they didn't when he was trying to tell her what to do. “My apologies, but that won’t be the last time you hear my name.” She whispered just as he shut the door behind him. In the back of her mind she wondered when he would come back to see her or what he would do with her now that he believed she was a lying angel. He still hadn’t even told her his intentions with her, which still made it a mystery as to why she had been brought here in the first place.

Not long after Elias left, another vampire walked into the room to no doubt keep an eye on her. She sighed once she realized who it was and crossed her arms over her chest. He bowed once he caught sight of her, his bright smile flashing in the dim lighting as he stood back up right. “Yes, we have indeed met already. My face remembers your head quite well.” Sara said, referring to her possible broken nose from when he’d headed butted her earlier that night. She could still feel the sting of it every time she took a breath. It hadn’t started healing quite yet, more than likely due to the dark magic that bound the room. “Nice move by the way. I would have beaten you had you not done that.” She gave a half smile in Hunter’s direction as she waited to see his reaction. Mr. Ashton still held himself with quite a bit of arrogance, but he didn’t quite seem to be as dark and brooding as his king. In fact, he seemed a bit friendlier than he was when they first met, though that didn’t mean he could be trusted in the least.
