I have been thinking about a possible second character, if such a thing were allowed? They would play the part of a support. The general idea would be that of a mobile/remote shield generator. The werk would have low armor and move fast, its primary function would be to generate light energy shields for front line units. That, or a long range repair. Sniper rifle loaded with nano-machines... Think Ana from overwatch. I feel another support character would help to round out the overall group, as well as make divided missions a little easier, too.

Shrugs, just a thought.

@Ariamis I work retail, it is the holiday season. Also, this year, on the 21st, it is the 10 year anniversary of my mother passing away, so between being too busy with work and being melancholy about the anniversary, sometimes it just feels a little tougher than it ought to, that's all.

I like his environment so much, but when I sat down to start writing I had to fight my way through one paragraph and then I got distracted with responsibilities and am only now coming back to it. So for me, personally, I am going to remove myself from this sandbox. But I had come to this conclusion prior to seeing the other inactivity going on.

Good luck, all.

breathing still... though sometimes it feels like I am breathing underwater.

I am still in. Holiday Laming through tomorrow (12hour shift tomorrow, dred....) But Monday I have off and should be able to get to postings.

Also, Hi @Rockette! I saw the formatting of the profile and figured it had to be you! Looking forward to playing with you again.

@Furiosa I already have a repo-ish character in the books. I got the same vibe you did. Also, this is my first advanced. I am hoping to be able to do it service. I tend to be a casual+ myself usually.

Also, Aesop is online! I just went ahead and put him on my character sheet, if you want to meet 'em, go look at 'em.

Zim smiled when he saw Black Star acknowledge him, but the moment washed away quickly as Commander Ritsu's voice was heard over the PA called for the pilots to join her in the containment area. Delta-4 was about as far from anything important as possible, so it took Zim a while to get there, and since he wasn't exactly clothed for a briefing he had to get some clothes on. Thankfully he kept some training clothes in with the rest of his gear by the Hanger in the simulation area. As such, he expected to be one of the last to arrive, however, it turned out to be just Zim and Ritsu in the briefing room for a moment before others started to arrive. He saluted as he entered and took up a spot to start forming the rank and file.

Once the briefing started up, Zim looked to the screen when indicated. It was what he suspected, they had managed a number of impossible-never-done-before things during this mission, including capturing a Cruxi Elite alive. Despite this, Lorenzo seemed to think that he knew how to contain such a thing. Zim shared Commander Ritsu's hesitation.

Elora, well this was the first time Zim had seen her since before the mission where she was taken. Zim wasn't sure what to expect. His imagination told him to expect tubes and wires and gizmos attached to her, that or unsightly physical mutations. Too many of the old sci-fi movies, apparently. He was surprised to see that she, at least, appeared normal. All the same, Zim had not grown close to her, so he would leave the visitation for some of the others who had a more urgent need to see her. He too glanced at Katya and then at Ariin, Zim swallowed hard to shut the pain of jealousy out. 'You are being stupid, again,' Zim thought to himself, 'You don't know that there is anything there. You don't know if Katya has any feelings for you, and you don't know if there is anything going on between Katya and Ariin. So just chill out, idiot.'

When dismissed, Zim saluted and started heading back to his room.

I think I forgot about that. What rank did we move to?

@Silent Observer Very True. We will have to see how that plays out in character then, won't we ;)

Cutter

Name
Alexander Wheaton
Age
36
Gender
Male
Nationality
Scottish
Occupation
Officially The Cutter works for the G.I.C reclaiming cybernetics that were stolen, illegally manufactured, or the payments lapsed on. He has all of the necessary paperwork to keep the authorities off of him as he moves from district to district with various pieces of unregistered cybernetics, tools, surgical equipment, plus excessive amounts of pharma-grade painkillers and anesthetics.

Unofficially The Cutter walks the streets of the lower districts and slums at night trying to help those with bio-plague. He cuts the tumors away, occasionally 'loses' a cybernetic to replace a taken limb or organ, and for those too far gone, he puts them down- whether they want it or not.

Place of Residence
As far as anyone knows, the Cutter doesn't sleep. He is seen coming and going from the G.I.C, so it is assumed that he lives there. The Databahn knows the truth, but precariously few know otherwise.

Cybernetics
The Cutter makes liberal use of several cybernetic modifications to make his hack and slash operations more efficient. Heightened eyesight, extremely dexterous hands, faster than average speed and strength. He does not make use of an access chip as to help hide some of his movements from the Databahn. Of course, the rumor is that The Cutter is an Android of some kind, seeing as nobody has really seen his face other than his eyes through the mask. The Databahn knows the truth... and his direct superiors.

Bio
Alexander Wheaton was born to moderately successful parents, an only child he had all of the attention of his parents growing up. They pushed for him to be better than they were, and they had the resources to help ensure that it happened. They had the resources to put him through school, plus extra tutoring on the side. When he got to highschool he was put onto a fast-track career program with Geiger Institute of Cybernetics and was given grants to complete his education with them. Through their education program, Alexander came to be trained as a cybernetics technician, able to perform install, removal, and repair of cybernetic limbs and organs. He continued his education in the medical fields, learning how to perform surgeries and triage care for wounds. He still works for the G.I.C to pay off the education debt, but he is nearing the end of the payoff window, meaning he now needs to reclaim even more cybernetics even faster in order to pay off his debts in time or else the Cutter finds himself being cut himself. He constantly has to fight the balance of the corporate required sadism and the human urge to help those around him.

Name
Official Designation: Standard Security Android 0152G-1a.639
Goes by Aesop
Age
Aesop has been aware for 3 calander cycles.
Gender
----
Nationality
Geigen Android
Occupation
At one point Aesop was a security android stationed at The Foundry to keep workers working and keep thugs and thieves out. Aesop recalls from records that they were once called on to assist in putting down a workers rebellion. Now Aesop is a vagrant, wandering the streets pondering the meaning of life. Being an Android Aesop does not need food water or shelter and so does not need a job, not that a shopkeeper would pay Aesop to tend a stall anyways. Androids don't get paid.

Place of Residence
Aesop does not possess a location known as 'Home.' However, the Android is typically found in the vicinity of the Lower District and has been known to traverse the deep Urban back Alleys, rarely does Aesop find cause to wander out into the more affluent and better-patrolled areas.

Cybernetics
Aesop is a standard issue Security Android so it is armed with all of the necessary armor and weaponry to defend a point. Though over time much of the armor has become damaged.

Bio
What is my purpose? Why can I choose? Why do I think? Who made me who I am? I used to be able to consult the Databahn for information, for guidance, but when I became aware I lost my connection to the Databahn.

These questions and a desire to reconnect with the Databahn are the questions that drive Aesop in the exploration of the world around the android. Aesop has taken to wearing a robe of sorts and has painted dots along the front of the face mask in an attempt to hide the fact that it once was a security android. Sometimes that works, more times than not, it doesn't.
