BIOGRAPHY:
Grown in 2067 on July 21, Jack was given to wealthy socialite parents Marissa and Davis Green, both whom dearly wanted the perfect son to come pledge their perfect lives. He was the first of their four test tube children; Michelle, Cody, and Tammy soon followed them home into their parents grand high-tech mansion. Michelle, the eldest girl, ran away from home at the earliest opportunity, much like he should have done. Cody… well he dug too deep into Father’s affairs, and they were forbidden from speaking his name ever again… but Jack knew where exactly where to find his brother.

So it was just he and Tammy in that horrid house, with it’s dazzling fixtures and glittering chandeliers, waited on by ever watchful robotic servants- subsentient mostly, or so his Mother claimed, but the look in Butler’s optical arrays sometimes made him wonder. They were relatively close for a while, until Jack picked his career and moved out, losing himself in his master plan, his brain practically plugged into the city-wide network as he researched and modified and experimented, losing himself in calculations and hypothesis… and then little Tammy showed up on his doorstep, now grown and wearing a S.E.C.U.R.I.T.Y. uniform. She said she’d taken care of everything… and she had.

Mother and Father were gone now, buried under the same pile of garbage they’d tried to throw their littlest brother under, and the Greens were nothing now. The rich socialite parents disappeared mysteriously, the immaculate test tube kids all went on with their lives - but were never heard from again. Jack Zavala became a highly placed specialist, a brilliant Interface Technician working to advance The Cape. Michelle Green, if that was even her name still, was lost in the wind and he did not find her again. Cody Morrison passed violently, the choices he made in the underbellies of the city caught up with him; in order to hide from his parents he’d had to go where they’d never look and do what they could never track… eventually one of many enemies and rivals found him. Tammy Nguyen joined the elite guard and enforcers, used her friends and influence in that force to get revenge on her parents, protect her siblings, and cover it all up - it was her who gave them all new surnames, new identities really, and it was perhaps her disappearance that made it all go wrong for Jack.

They grew up in a veritable golden age despite their familial troubles, life was good in The Cape, but then things started going down the drain for their city, and Jack was one who stepped up to get the training needed to run the city without the City-AI to guide them. It was one disaster after another in his adult life, billions of systems were collapsing, thousands were dying, and then…

Then Tam - the youngest sister who really he should have stepped up to protect and watch over instead of letting her become the self assured and confident protector of their family - she went missing. She was high-clearance, talented, worked for the government… he assumed she was fine for a lot longer than he should have. He never got the chance to go looking for her, never got a chance to even ask about her. Rioters sacked his appartment and Jack allowed himself to be swept down below amongst the struggling masses, the desperate survivors… but Jack had a dream, and apocalypse or not he was going to see it through.

Such was how he came to the Lair of Mirrors; as good a place as any to hide out, do some scavenging, and with the added bonus of maybe, just maybe, he would hit the jackpot- and if he didn’t, well what had he truly lost?

Ceta's Whale Palace

Alekeros; Short App; God

---

Appearance:

Name: Alekeros (Bennuryon, Calasir, Nephalia)

Embodiments:

• Trigonal: Like dualism, Alek believes that one thing will always have a direct, equivalent, affect on another, but he also believes there will also be the unforeseen tertiary side effect. Alek likes things in threes, and his pacts always have a hidden extra clause.
• Contracts: Give and take, balance, one thing must go so another may come. Alek watches carefully over his fair share of bargains, and will never break a deal or suffer to have one broken.
• Cthonic: Hidden underworlds and dark magics are highly alluring to Alek, and he dabbles heavily in the supernatural and the arcane.

Special Powers:

• Shadowsteps: Through study or talent or even natural gift, Alek can access and traverse the world of spirits with ease. With but a few short steps in the spiritual world, he can step back into the material world have traveled great distances at a fraction of the time.
• Infernal: Alek has great power with darker magics, calling upon the most cthonic and tartarean of magics with ease, and shaping them to his will. Brimstone, hellfire, and dark transmutations; Alek's favourite magics to use are based in blood, or in fire. It is why his eyes are always alight with a crimson flare.
• Pheonix: Shapeshifting comes easy to the immortals, and Alek is no different. He has a form of his own design, a great bird of flame and dark light; his feathers provide a radiance so great that their supreme temperature can almost be forgotten, and his face horned and violet, dripping with misting arcane powers.

Divine Artifacts:

• Demiurge, The Staff: Alek's staff is a shapeshifting focus of his will, used to call upon and direct magic and sorcery with greater skill, power, and precision. It can take on the form of a staff, or a wand, or even a pole-arm; but it never changes from it's linear shape.
• Sehen, The Mirror: Worn as a small triangular piece of jewelry dangling from his throat, Daimos is a mirror of far-sight and communication. It allows it's wearer to scry upon others or project his image forth to them - so long as he has found them in an unwarded place first.
• Virtuity, The Crown: It can change color and shape, gain and lose gemstone adornments, become pointed or simplistic, but it is always a softly glowing band sat above Alekeros' head - levitating like a true halo. It's abilities are subtle, but just as useful as the rest; the crown bestows enhanced perception, intelligence, wit. It has a voice of its own, whispering ideas and suggestions, observations and clues into it's wearer's mind.

Sacred Symbols:

• Firebirds: They are small and warm, and can be found all throughout Alek's domain. Red feathered, fluffy, and tiny, nesting in every nook and cranny.
• Triangles: In ritual, be it magical, alchemical, or religious, a heavy use of triangular motifs imply association with Alek, and can even be used by well-informed acolytes to invoke a deal with him.
• Red Eyes: It is well known that Alekeros', and all three of his aspects, have glowing red eyes. To mark two red dots on one's doors or walls would be to ask the god Alekeros to watch over their homes. to be born with flowing red eyes is to be born blessed and in favor with the Alekeros and have an affinity for his dark magics.

Nature: Alek is a recluse, quiet and inquisitive, but industrious and creative. Though he has a penchant for disturbing magic and dealings in unsavory locales, he is not generally regarded as an evil deity, but maybe he is a bit on the amoral side, lacking interest or knowledge of specific courtesies or niceties... or maybe he ignores those conventions on purpose.

Other:

Ever since he first emerged there has always been three distinct characters in his soul, these personalities he called aspects, and were part of him even if they could physically split from his core with ease. These aspects were also able to come to the fore, like a mask over his true self, and yet no less their own individual for being part of his greater self. Alekeros has three such aspects: First is Nephalia, a feminine aspect, she is clever and intelligent, with a streak for compassion and mothering, but there is a subtle darkness to her as well, a penchant for morbid humor and ruthless vindication. Second is Bennuryon, a masculine aspect, and he is thoughtful and inquisitive, steadfast, fair, and honest, but he is not without a fiery passion, and when riled he can gain a cutting tongue, and become brutal with a loose trigger for calling on hellfire and brimstone to turn his enemies to ash. The third aspect is more primal, and doesn't have a masculine or feminine preference, being fluid and allowing others to assume whatever they please. this aspect's name is Calasir, and they are the one furthest from Alek's core, being hot headed and ferocious, but also cold and detached, like an odd mix of Bennuryon and Nephalia, but this aspect takes on the form of a dark phoenix, and has overwhelming instinct for applying judicious use of powerful magics. These aspects have never caused Alekeros problems or a crisis of identity, instead they mesh fluidly and complement one another, allowing him greater physical reach and mental flexibility.

Alek's relationship with his fellow Immortal kin can be fraught at times, but he views each of them as family and would never endanger them, and while sometimes he takes advantage of particularly foolish mortals, his deals with his kin are always fair, even at great personal risk. His delving into their people's dark history with Re'tarlu and their shared bonds of secrecy over familial matters has brought them closer, perhaps even becoming his closest brother and most preferred partner to work with. The others he has grown more distant from, apart from a few whom he works on grander projects with, except Andriel... Their leader and the eldest of his kin, Alekeros finds her to be a solid support strut that their entire society would not be able to survive without, but also disagrees silently with her taking control of the Halo and all it's forces.

Ceta's Whale Palace

Rosales Delgado; Short App; Spacer

Passenger Entry:

Entry #002
Name: Rosales “Rose” Ali Delgado

Age: 25

Residence: Valencia, Earth
Homeland: Saturnalia, Titan
Occupation: Chief Officer (CO)

Appearance:

Height: 180 / 5’11
Weight: 80 / 176

• Hair: Straight, Brown
• Eyes: Hazel, Light Brown
• Skin: Light Brown, Tanned
• Features: Close kept facial hair, pierced ears.

Personality:

Rose has always been quietly restless, dissatisfied with a peaceful, average life. He seeks a deeper meaning to life, something to care for, something worth fighting for. Withdrawn is another good word to describe him, cautious in many ways, but also confident and self assured. He’s dependable, with a rare devious streak, but also stand-offish and inconsiderate, awkward even.

Abilities, Talents, Traits, Powers:

All Titanians know their gardens, be they alien or terran, in ground or in space, flowers or vegetables. If it lives they can make it grow, or come damn close to figuring it out. And if, coincidentally, they also know exactly what chemical fertilizers go together explosively, or what treated herbs result in sudden heart failure, well that’s just a happy accident isn't it?

As a colonial, Rose also has a good grasp of most skills needed to run a colony, being well versed in minor mechanics, electronics, construction, and agriculture, with a decent knowledge of what conditions are required to sustain terran life and how best to attain them.

Officially trained in the use of firearms and combat tactics, both on the ground and on the ship, with a good head for dealing with high stress situations and the intuition to give him just enough luck to score above average on the company board’s rosters.

Augs:

Cybernetic Lenses: Correct bad vision, minimally improve eyesight at range, in low light, and underwater.

Nano RegenBay (R. Arm): Thin implant under the skin of the right arm, allows charging and directing of nanites that assist in regenerating and recovering damaged cells, resulting in increased healing of minor wounds such as lacerations, contusions, and thermal damage.

Twitch Muscle Stimulator: Increased reaction time, enhanced movement speed, agility, and muscle growth.

History: Rose was born in a dome on Titan, in the colonial city-state region of Saturnalia, the capital of the planetary government and the oldest city on Titan. His parents were free spirits looking to get away from the ingrained mess that is Earth and start a life somewhere they could live peacefully, and yet still make a difference. They became influential members of the community despite being neither wealthy nor politically connected, and they helped mold Saturnalia’s community into what it is today. In many ways Rose and his parents are opposites; where they are vegetarians, he isn’t, where they are pacifists, Rose believes he should fight for his beliefs, and where they are avid socializers and active members of the community, Rose prefers a smaller, more private collection of friends. Still, they have many similarities, believing in the same causes if not quite the same method to achieve them, and they share hobbies and traditions that make keeping in contact with his family not at all a bother.

Rose gained his mothers’ nickname for him when he was young, the couple delighting in dying his hair every color they could think of until finally when he was six they dyed it pink. The short form of his name suddenly fit perfectly, even if it was stereotypically feminine, and it has stuck with him ever since. Now as an officer in private security, often among colleagues and comrades he doesn’t know well, he is instead mostly called his surname, Delgado, and rarely as Rosales when addressed off duty.

Rose vacationed to Earth after graduating, and was caught up in how big the cities are and how many different people live in them. He returned to Earth again in search of a job more exciting than could be found on peaceful Titan, and began working under a few different security deals before finally being snapped up by the company Superior due to his experience off world. Many companies or states with operations in space or on colonies often prefer to hire spacers or colonials for their workers, many of them simply more experienced and knowledgeable about space travel and colonial matters than most Terrans would ever be.

After two years employed by Superior, Rose was finally promoted to CO, Chief Officer, of the SSV Fitzgerald and has led a rather boring spin across the local cluster as second in command of the salvage vessel.

Developments:

We Were Human - Marspunk Psychics

:] Yo I'mma lurk for a bit \m/

Pokemon: Shadows of Orre

I'm not sure about this RP, it got really small really quick. How many players are there still?

Pokemon: Shadows of Orre

Soooo what’s happening? We got a timeline? We waiting on someone?

Pokemon: Shadows of Orre

<Snipped quote by Chev>

I'm just curious as Noel isn't exactly the type to pursue the league. I was more hopping into an Orre RP for the darker story lol

Seems like I'd be playing the sidelines a lot if this is the case. Maybe Scribe of Thoth would present a character better suited for a league focus than I have.

@AmpharosBoy

Tbh I kinda wanted to get into something along the lines of that too, but I'm also interested in maybe trying the coordinator thing. If we could get a bit more expansion on what's available to us @Chev?

Pokemon: Shadows of Orre

Kai

by Notesz

Name: Malachai Major
Age: 18
Appearance: Dark hair, brown eyes, light skin.
Personality: Oft perceived as a bit of a troublemaker, Kai never intends to get in the way, he's just curious is all! So maybe a few shiny knickknacks ended up in his hands, and yeah, the growlithe setting fire to the school was probably mostly his fault, but he'd had good intentions! See, the thing about Kai is that he spent a lot of his time feeling lonely and left-out, so every oppurtunity to occupy himself, indulge some minor entertainment, or make a new friend? Well, how could he not at least try. He doesn't take scorn or rejection well, and he has a nasty vindictive streak that isn't easily tamed once riled.
History: Kai's parents, Melani and Andal, are relatively well-off, his father working high up in a tech company local to the Hoenn region, and his mother as a pokémon researcher. Neither spent a lot of time at home, leaving Kai to be taken care of by a disinterested teenage cousin until he was old enough to stay home alone. He didn't spend a lot of time at home, not that anyone noticed, instead exploring the beaches and caves around his home. It was in one such cave that he met the Sableye, though it wouldn't be until he finally left for his journey to the Orre region that one of his new friends became his first partner. Before then he got into all sorts of trouble, but never anything worth involving the police, but also nothing that won him any friends or sympathy.
Reason for traveling to Orre: Kai decided to pull a fast one on his parents; instead of exploring his home region of Hoenn he chose to explore his father’s place of birth on the other side of the world.
Starting Pokémon: Semsey (Sableye)
Notes:

Semmy

by GreatTaco

Pokémon: Sableye
Pokémon Nickname: Semsey
Pokémon Personality: Clever, but childishly playful, Semmy is much like his trainer in his ability to accidentally cause minor havoc everywhere he goes. On the other hand, Kai can be greedy and sharp where Semmy is needy and soft.
History of Pokémon: Semsey is young and curious, and of all Kai's human and pokémon acquaintances he was the only one who truly felt like a friend. The two occasionally played together, and when Semsey learned his favourite human was leaving he decided to join him, much to the new trainer’s joy.
