2086 - A Cyberpunk RP

I dunno, I’m just assuming what went on went on where most people said. I’m not invested in the distinction.

2086 - A Cyberpunk RP

"See, this is what I'm always talking about. You there, chatbot, you're the problem. Mods, get him already. No one's here to read yet another Nova-"
Mira trails off. Her phone is ringing. She checks the screen, reads "Contractor," and her mood gets a little worse.
"Ad break."
Her lenses retract. She's alone in the alley again. "Hey-hey?"
"NCS947."
A synthesized voice slowly reads out her ID number in the Milicor Operations Division. She sighs. "That's me."
"Verification code."
"85700909."
"Message drop. Grid coordinates NC 1991, 743. Requires decryption key. Will provide upon acknowledgement."
"Faraday, record the following code as 'Decryption Key.'"
Talking to Milicor can be exhausting.

Behind a pile of garbage bags, Mira finds her drop: a thumb drive in a plastic bag. Plug it into her phone, have Faraday connect to the phone. Such a lot of work.
_{"Contents encrypted."}
"Use Decryption Key to decrypt it."
_{"Processing. Contents decrypted. One text document."}
"Read it to me."
_{"Warning: unauthorized viewing or photography of this document is a class 2-"}
She rolls her eyes, her patience nearly dry. "Faraday, skip this paragraph."

_{"Operative NCS947: Your services are urgently required in your current sector. 40% advance payment has been sent to your account. Briefing pursuant:
Unknown operatives, presumed independent, have recently been reported in armed conflict with security forces wearing identification from the Bematech Corporation in an unknown structure at NC 1440, 311. Police response has apprehended the operatives - as of time of writing, cruiser is currently enroute to precinct at NC 742, 521. Objectives pursuant:
Identify objective of independent operatives. Identify purpose of presumed Bematech facility. Report any further information regarding the conflict or the facility. Minimize personal and MDI involvement according to SOP, with allowance for freeing independent operatives from custody if necessary.
Videocall booth at NC 1439, 314 is reserved until 500 hours local time for post-action report.
Local Regulator cells have been notified of imminent operation and limited cooperation can be expected. Per usual, do not expect extensive help in conflict with police.
Post-script: Mira, we're serious about non-interference for this one. From where I'm sitting, this looks bigger than I can tell you. Don't get seen any more than you absofuckinglutely have to, and follow false flag protocols if you slip up. To be clear: if you get this traced to us, you're on your own with police, Bema, and whoever else you piss off. Go gentle as you can.
Lt. Brave, MDI Operations, Senior Handler.
Message ends."}

Mira's annoyance fades away entirely about midway through. There's no space for it. She quietly ends the ad break, checks the ammo in her handgun, and starts making plans.
"Guys, I might have to end the stream soon," she whispers, her thoughts elsewhere: over a thousand Milicor coordinate blocks away.
When it rains, it pours.

To Become a Knight! ~ A Chivalric (Mis)Adventure

So far we have a clown, an animal mascot, a ghost, The Hero™, and The Plot™
We have a space for someone smart, and a push-up-glasses tsundere is one I haven't heard before

To Become a Knight! ~ A Chivalric (Mis)Adventure

Real knighthood favors the noble, but this one will take any volunteer, so it ought to be near enough to a social cross-section, excepting fringe bits of logic like farming families not being interested in sparing their numbers
Play who you like, but anyone undecided is invited to go low-class

woops didnt read

To Become a Knight! ~ A Chivalric (Mis)Adventure

We've got like two characters here who aren't actual nobility, if you're interested in diversity then Dime could use some more company down in the pits than just Mister Raised-by-Wolves
I can imagine she'll get along with him better than most, but like... the commonfolk aren't usually outnumbered

@sniblet I'm stuck at work right now but I can post when I get home

@Hyyde322

Are you still in this? My condolences if you’re still on overtime

Still, if you want to expand on your bio or redo stuff, go right ahead! No worries either way~.

@Feyblue

So I can stay crazy fantasy! Great, real life is boring.
I’ve been editing periodically and she might be in a finished state now - of course, I also thought that yesterday. So I’ll just call her a WIP until IC time, but there shouldn’t be further major changes.

To Become a Knight! ~ A Chivalric (Mis)Adventure

See, that’s what I was afraid would happen. The GMPC even has Baker for a last name, and here I am calling Dime a commoner with a name like that…
I can rewrite or put out someone entirely different if needed, just not right away. Or if I don’t have to respect reality that much, that’s great. I can do something like make her a foreigner, whatever - background’s fully flexible, I did it all in like an hour as I went.

Dime

_______________________________________________ // INFO P E R S O N A L D E T A I L S Full Name – Dime (DEE-may) Silesia (sih-LEEZ-ee-uh) Age - 13 Gender - Female Heritage – Originally from Valefor, she and her family ran a travelling bakery – villages and cities would gather round and enjoy cheap delicacy for a day or two each, every few months. Commoners, but well-off as commoners go. Well, no more of that for her, but it’s where she came from, and her family’s still at it. Magical Affinity – Fire-wind: Lightning - // PERSONALITY P E R S O N A L I T Y A Crackling Dime is attuned to lightning, with most of what that entails. She’s not angry as a baseline, and no one can say she lacks willpower, but she fits the rest to a T. Passion! Energy! Curiosity! Self-destructive idiocy! Paralyzing fear of maturity! Never at Rest Like lightning, Dime can never sit still until she she's grounded. Unlike lightning, she doesn't go looking for grounding. So, she can never sit still. Not mentally, not physically: she's everywhere at once. Like lightning. Oh, is Something Wrong? Dime can notice other people. She might not always, or usually, or… basically you have to tell her something’s wrong for her to get it, but if she picks up on someone in trouble or feeling bad, she’ll always want to help. Her wind-elemental selfishness presents this way: she is empathic, she does care, it's just tempered by the fact that she's bafflingly oblivious. Hey, it helps with her boy disguise. // SKILLSET S K I L L S E T Lightning, Rod Dime can handle a spear - that’s a low bar. She can also zap things really good - often only as much as she means to. Almost a Baker Dime can cook… like… a few things? Like, she can do good bread. Um. Sometimes she thinks she’s here because her parents lost their patience trying to teach her... Not Good at Very Much Dime is excellent at not ceasing to talk once she starts.

Physical Description I want to say “just the image,” but look at those clothes… look at those shoes… look at that silly hat. Okay, now stop looking at them. Look at the girl. Imagine her dressed like a page dresses. Now you’re getting there. Dime has relatively little trouble looking the more-or-less masculine, or at least androgynous part, for now. Her body is enabling. Her face is not quite a boy’s face, but hey, that can happen to anyone. Her looks, together with her boyish personality, do her good, because beyond the usual crossdressers' habits - a little binding, a pitched-down voice, don't undress around the others - she seldom remembers that she’s supposed to try. With all that said, it's possible the order has already seen through her, and just doesn't care enough to miss out on a passionate and magically-gifted candidate over it, so long as she keeps the secret from peers and the public. Or maybe she's a charity case. Or... she really does have them fooled? Character Conceptualization Dime isn’t really sure why she’s here. Well, it’s because her parents pushed her into it, but like… you know… why? I mean, yeah, she was pretty clearly gifted with the whole, lightning thing. And, okay, so maybe that isn’t applicable when you’re just supposed to grow up and bake for a living. And – well – “It’s great that your son has the legacy in check, but does your daughter do anything?” Yeah, that one was embarrassing. Mmmm… maybe that’s why she’s here. Her parents love her and all, but at some point they must’ve decided that this was what’s best for her. There's no sign that she's going to slow down - flunking into the existence of a housewife would have been... bad. Also because these knight guys do a truly awful job at filtering out the girls – if she can fool them… Other Information Don’t tell her I told you, but she’s kind of a clown. She’s very liable to bumble into trouble. Sometimes she might even do it on purpose, just for an audience. You have my full permission to rampantly mispronounce her name.
