I present to you, the rivals of the century! Yuri the Ivan [hider=My Hider] Name: Yuri Volkova Gender: Male Character Type: Human Appearance: [img]http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120118154816/callofduty/images/b/ba/Dimitri_Petrenko_dossier_image_BO.png[/img] Description: Standing at 5'9, Yuri has a well-built body thanks to his time in the military. Since he is in Russia, he usually wears thick or furry clothing for the cold but will readily ditch it when he goes to somewhere warmer. Like a stereotypical Russian, Yuri really likes ushankas and will wear them whenever possible and when it does not get in the way. Career: Former military. Currently a Revolutionary. Skills: *Expert melee combatant (especially with his tomahawk-knife combo) *Average marksmanship *Can rally people with speeches Supernatural Abilities: N/A Personality: =Defiant =Brave =Brutal =Fair =Poetic Bio: Yuri was born 4 years before the angels came in a rural village in Russia. There he was taught patience, hard work and other idealistic virtues which Yuri brought with him as he aged. When he was 15 years old and right when Cyborgels were being handed out, he went to St. Petersburg to get higher education where he met Friedrich Kroenen, a German just two years older than him, who is also studying there until he could get back to Germany. The two became great friends because of their shared interest in philosophy. Both enlisted in the military to keep the citizens of New Society safe from the radical revolutionaries. Both became close to the unit they were assigned to and both seemed on the way to becoming fire-forged brothers. However, Yuri was a big fan of conspiracies and liked looking into things beyond what they looked like. The Russian was once anti-angel and was glad they were defeated for he thought their heavenly appearance were lies and readily believed the words against them. But one thing bugged Yuri. How and where did the anti-angel weaponry came from? And why were there Cyborgels, androids that looked like the enemy? There were reasons but Yuri found them lacking to have servants modeled after the enemy. Because of this, Yuri and other like-minded individuals in his unit, tried to delve deeper. He invited Friedrich in the search for the truth but unfortunately his German friend did not share his ideals and, under orders from the higher-ups, had Yuri detained. Or at least tried to have Yuri detained. The Russian caught wind of this and fled with the other associates. Yuri went low in Russia for a while and continued to search for the truth. It was then he managed to get a hold of a friendly revolutionary who told him the whole story of what happened to the angels. Yuri was a bit skeptical at first but believed in it after connections from the story and the current things made perfect sense. Days after the revelation, Yuri decided to return to his home village to start spreading the word of the revolutionaries. However, he found his village under attack from the military... with Friedrich Kroenen at the lead. Trying to detain him was one thing but Yuri could not believe his former friend would lay waste on his village. Yuri could only watch as his home burned and his family put to death. The Russian swore he would get revenge and the fates blessed him with an opportunity when Friedrich's unit decided to take a rest in the village's ruins. Using his training and knowledge of the military, the element of surprise some well-placed explosives, he managed to take out his friend's troops and also set Friedrich on fire via Molotov Cocktail. His former friend managed to douse himself with a nearby puddle before running towards the woods. Yuri chased after him ultimately lost him to the woods' fog. Knowing that his traitorous friend was probably still alive, Yuri officially joined the revolutionaries to fight for the oppressed angels and the deceived mankind and in the hopes he would encounter his friend again. He fought the military arm of New Society continuously, while hearing about a captain among them wearing a gas mask, to where he is now, hoping to meet Friedrich Kroenen for one last reunion.

All this time we've been fighting the wrong enemy. The angels really have come to bring us, humanity, salvation. To deliver us to the next world. And what did we, humanity, do? We looked the other way. We listened to the venomous lies of opportunists, of power-hungry men, of demons in human flesh. We fought against our saviors and enslaved every last one of them. Turned them into mindless servants for us, humanity, who then indulged in the many sinful vices of life and forgot the virtues of our great ancestor heroes. But the fight is not over. Once the true revolution begins, the world will be [b]REBORN[/b] anew and the facade of peace Desium Corp. imposes will come crashing down! The angels will once again take their rightful place as judges and... I hope they forgive us for what we've done. Though I will not be surprised if they do not, if they condemn us all to Hell. It is what we deserve after all, after our numerous blasphemies and pain we've caused them.[/i]" [/hider] Friedrich the Jerry [hider=My Hider] Name: Friedrich Kroenen Gender: Male Character Type: Human Appearance: [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/1e/Kronen.jpg[/img] Description: Friedrich has badly burnt skin and so hides the ugliness and the shame of defeat beneath his uniform and gas mask. Of course the uniform lacks the swastikas and the iron crosses and stuff. He stands at 6'0 and has a well-built, but burned, body thanks to his training in the military. Career: Military Skills: *Expert melee combat (prefers the saber and arm-blade combo) *Above average marksmanship *Average commander Supernatural Abilities: N/A Personality: =Cold =Brave =Brutal =Ruthless =No-nonsense Bio: Friedrich was born in Berlin, Germany 6 years before the angels came but had to move to St. Petersburg, Russia because of a family business trip. They could not make the trip back however and ended up studying there where he met Yuri Volkova, a Russian two years younger than him, despite the other Russians ignoring him. The two became great friends because of their shared interest in philosophy. Both enlisted in the military to keep the citizens of New Society safe from the radical revolutionaries. Both became close to the unit they were assigned to and both seemed on the way to becoming fire-forged brothers. However, Yuri was a big fan of conspiracies and liked looking into things beyond what they looked like. Friedrich did not like this about Yuri and continuously told him to simply accept things as they were before he gets into trouble. And trouble Yuri did get into as Friedrich received orders to detain his friend and his like-minded associates. While he was not happy with the order, Friedrich complied and with the help of the rest of the unit, tried to apprehend Yuri and and the other associates. He failed, however, for Yuri apparently knew about it and the Russian escaped from the military's grasp. Friedrich was part of the team that looked for Yuri to compensate for his failure but after a year, the case was dropped and the German was assigned to his original position of taking down the revolutionaries. He was glad though, even though he was an enemy, he did not have to hunt down his friend no longer. One day Friedrich, now a commander of a unit, got orders to clear out a Russian village secretly aligned with the revolutionaries. The German went without hesitation and laid siege to village, knowing little this was Yuri's home village. After properly occupying it and getting some rest, some surprise attacks and explosions manage to decimate his unit, his sworn brothers whom he had known and gotten close to in the years. When the culprit showed himself, he could not believe his eyes that his longtime friend was the one who annihilated his squad. Yuri, taking advantage of his disbelief, tossed a Molotov Cocktail at him and setting him on fire. Friedrich, despite being in fire and in panic, found a miraculous puddle among the piles of snow in which he dropped himself to rid the flames. He fled to the woods where he eventually lost Yuri. Since then Friedrich, now wearing a gas mask to hide his unrecognizable burnt face, kept fighting the revolutionaries hoping to meet Yuri Volkova, who was probably still alive, for one last reunion.

Why are the revolutionaries fighting? Continuing to resist New Society? Do they not see that we have prevented Earth's demise? That we saved all of their lives? That we brought everlasting peace to the planet? We have made Earth [b]REBORN[/b] as Heaven where no soul needs to suffer the hardships of life. Where people are actually happy and not 'enslaved happy'. A perfect utopia in the truest sense of the word. Yet the revolutionaries still fight. Continuing to fight for the old ways and that Heaven lies beyond death. Do they not wonder if that is not the case? Truly, I cannot comprehend these revolutionaries' minds. Perhaps that is the problem. They are sick in the mind.[/i]" [/hider] So yeah these two go way back. If there are any problems regarding these two blokes, don't hesitate to tell. If there are any problemas, do tell. Oh and, [b]REBORN[/b]! And if I may, do the humans know the demons are actually demons and not just some humans who had a different idea about the angels? P.S. I also noticed there is no picture for the sample pic for Mechangels. P.S.S. I'm late to the acceptance period, aren't I?
