Umbra: The Abyssal Connection

Ghost Corp Head Quarters

---

Wren watched the map flicker quietly, his eyes focused on the spot where the General pointed to before he looked up as the man spoke. He stayed silent, listening to his words.

The mere mention of Umbra Corp made his spine tingle, part of him was glad he didn't have any memories of that part of his life. He looked over to Ivy as she was given her orders before he tensed himself as the Generals' gaze moved onto him.
He gave a nod, but didn't speak.

---

Wren always felt cramped in the armored vehicle, but he knew that it was better than riding on Horseback. He stepped out of the vehicle last, allowing everyone else the freedom to go first before he stayed near Ivy for a second, looking over to the large building; his eyes slowly scaling up the building as he felt his stomach twist.

What could be in here? Could something he should know be here?
He looked over to the three other soldiers quietly, he still stayed silent before he looked over towards Ivy as if he waited for orders from her. The console glimmered near them, he wasn't the best at hacking and he didn't want to risk a large warning sound like one of the last facilities he had been at when he failed to hack.

He'd never be able to live that one down, he was sure. They lost some good men back then, the alarm had drawn the attention of Wild Ones, even some Lawless out there too. Part of him was glad he wasn't entirely human that day, but he still dreaded the feeling of letting a beast take over.

People? The scent flooded their senses as they seemed to focus, their purple eyes widening as their slit pupils adjusted in the darkness of the trees surrounding the facility. They clicked their paw together as they stepped along quietly, making sure not to rapp their claws on anything metal, least draw any attention close to themselves.

They lowered themselves in the shadows, peering from the shadows as they stared towards the group of five? humans in front of them. They tilted their head slightly, they could smell the faint scent of fear in the air - worry as well. They seemed to be paused in what they were doing, they weren't here to fight, hopefully.

Mimi inhaled deeply as they stepped closer towards the group, spotting the vehicle off to the side; their feathered 'ears'(Muscles that were covered in longer feathers) snapping up slightly before they continued to watch.
They heard a couple of the other soldiers talking between each other about the console needing an access card.
"Access Carrd." Mimi mimicked quietly, almost on instinct, the words feeling weird on their tongue as they tried to get the soldiers voice correct.

"Entrance." They spoke again, tilting their head as they clicked their maw together as a small whistle. "Door. Card. Access."

Umbra: The Abyssal Connection

OH OH ITS STARTING!! EXCITED STOMPS!!!!

Umbra: The Abyssal Connection

Yeah! Wren swears by the Ghost Corps cause they basically 'saved' him after escaping Umbra, and Mimi is like "I help the humans :)"

Umbra: The Abyssal Connection

@SporkoBug Mhmm! You don't mind if I send your characters on a mission via Ghost Corp, right?

@Estylwen

Absolutely! Mimi isn't properly part of Ghost Corp yet, they just sort of hang around them to keep them safe, but you're more than free to put her in there for her starting to work with them properly! She possibly could be following them while their on a mission from the shadows?

Umbra: The Abyssal Connection

I'm so excited.

Umbra: The Abyssal Connection

I'm guessing we'll have a posting schedule for this one too?

Umbra: The Abyssal Connection

@Estylwen Let me know if I need to change anything!
Added both of my guys. I'm terrible to Wren, which is perfect for this :D
Plus internal struggle for which side he wants to be with!

Post Apoc stuff; Mimicraptor, Wren(Wendigo-infused human)

SporkoBug

”Mimi”

Unknown | Mimicraptor-Wild | Unknown Gender(They/Them) | Ghost Corps “Feathered Beast” | 5’6” Height, 7’8” Length | 396 Lbs

Abyssal Connection: Currently None (Planned Possessive Connection)

Mimicky

Ability to Mimic any sound it has heard before, almost to ultimate perfection. Namely used for communicating with humans.

Dark-Vision

Ability to see in low to no light scenarios. Flaws - Bright lights cause Startled, Weakened eyesight in brighter areas.

(Locked) Passive Camouflage

In the Spectral Woods area, and in any natural wooded area; Mimi can become almost invisible to the naked eye, despite the colours of their feathers.

Goal:
Survive. Mimi just wants to live, they want to help any human they come across that doesn’t show any threat to them.

Personality:
Unlike most Wilds, Mimi feeds on the positive rather than the negative. They’re quiet for the most part, but they can be calm and kind to those who won’t harm them. They’re rather stoic unless a weapon is pointed at them and they become a bit more frantic.
They’re curious towards humans, always wanting to learn more about them; Human technology both stuns them and scares them, they want to learn more but they don’t want to be used.

History:
Mimi doesn’t remember hatching. All they knew, for a very long time, was the Pack-Mind of other Raptor-like beasts. When it was noticed that Mimi didn’t feed on the negative like the rest of the Pack, they were kicked out into the wilds and the Dust on their own.

Which is where Mimi found out about humans. Fascinating little creatures; resilient, aggressive, stubborn. Mimi followed different groups of humans for many years, watching some of them pass and others move on; they made sure to keep the humans they have been following safe, they’ve had to go up against their own ex-pack members in order to keep some humans safe.

Mimi has had run-ins with the Umbra Corp, narrowly escaping a few times without them capturing them or using them as an experiment.
Currently Mimi is still stalking the Dust for more humans to protect and befriend, often stopping by camps to try and ‘communicate’ with the humans.

Inventory:
N/A

Wren

26 | Human[size=5]ish[/size] | Masc | Ghost Corp, “Codename W3nd1g0.” | 6’3” | 176

Abyssal Connection: Possessive Subjugation - Wendigo Spirit

Soul Call

Can sense/see other Spirits around him, eyes glow purple when this power is in use.
Flaws - Causes Headaches, prolonged use causes nose bleeds and possibly bouts of madness. Unable to distinguish what is alive and what is not.

Form Change

Wren can temporarily twist his form into something more horrific- A twisted body of a Wendigo with the Deer skull head and all. Bumps up his strength and speed, makes him a dangerous foe.
Flaws - Hurts, a lot. Makes him very exhausted after using it, more of a last ditch effort.

(Locked) Plant Control

The ability to pull plants and control them, usually in the form of vines or branches.
Flaws - Hurts, Takes a lot of energy, if the plants are attacked, he can feel that pain too.

Goal:
Protection. He wants to protect himself, the Spirit within him wants to protect itself, the Wendigo wants to protect the Spectral Woods and the King of the Wild; which often causes internal conflict between Wren and the Spirit.

Personality:
Wren is kind, he’s happy to help almost immediately if someone asks for it. He’s also anxious and can often come off as skittish. He’s a protective sort of person, and can come across as fatherly.
The Spirit, however, is Stubborn, aggressive and, funnily enough, Possessive. They want Wren all to themselves to keep the Spectral Woods safe, and will often cause problems for Wren to cause him suffering so they can gain more control.

History:
Wren is a run-away from The Umbra Corp, they were going to use him as a soldier before he was possessed by The Spirit; and then he was going to be used as a test subject and a weapon of their own. He went through some bad testing in the Umbra Corp, and then promptly managed to escape when they allowed him freedom in the Dust.

He was picked up by the Ghost Corps, but kept at arm's length to start with, due to what he was. Especially because the experiments also caused him to have small, twisted antlers from his head in normal form anyway.
He doesn’t remember much before his time at the Umbra Corp, but he remembers having someone to care for, either a child or a younger sibling, but he’s… Unsure where they have gone.

Inventory:
Hand Gun
Two Small Battle Knives
Maps of different places in the Dust
‘Good luck’ Charm - Bird Skull necklace
Burnt photo; It’s a photo of him and someone else, but the someone else is completely burnt off.
