[hider=Kuro, The Brand][b]What is your Name?:[/b] My first, legal name under the laws of Great Britain and its Parliament is Kuro.

[b]The newspapers and common people call you, 'The Brand of BLIGHT.' What can I call you?:[/b] You will call me Colonel Kuro, citizen, if you know what is good and proper. 

[b]I simply must know how old you are:[/b] No you do not, citizen.

[b]Tell me about your ensemble!:[/b] I wear a regulated work and combat uniform as a member of the Burmingham's London Intelligence for Governmental Hideouts and Trafficking division, as issued by the Governor's Office. Each uniform is a tailored, single-piece suit made of luboric treated leather, appearing as trousers and a long coat. The outfit has an underweave of steel electroplated silk. Each uniform is completed by standard issue boots, gauntlets, helmet and visor, all made of certain ceramic compounds and with adherent rubber seals. Although I am a senior commissioned officer, each of these items does not deviate in design or appearance from those issued to any other member of the Burmingham's London Intelligence for Governmental Hideouts and Trafficking division. Each item is smooth, seamless, and devoid of any distinguishing features or notable points. When in dress, my uniform is adorned with a number of distinguished service medals. Even when out of dress, I wear a white armband identifying my rank.

[b]How would your friends describe you?:[/b] Under the stipulations of the Burmingham's London Intelligence for Governmental Hideouts and Trafficking division's code of conduct, chapter 9, section 41, subsection 8, paragraph 1, it is a statutory offence to reveal any personal information pertaining to any personnel within the division to members of the public, media, citizenry, nobility, and/or royal family. Not only can I not tell you whether I have any friends, but they, if I have any, also cannot tell you.

[b]Surely you must have quite an exciting past!:[/b] That is classified information, citizen. I would discontinue your current line of inquiry before you get yourself in trouble.

[b]Remind me who...err...I mean, what organizations you affiliate with?:[/b] Certainly. As a member of the Burmingham's London Intelligence for Governmental Hideouts and Trafficking division, I am an employee of the Governor's office as well as a member of the royal army. I meet the requisite criteria to be a member of the House of Lords, but by division statute I am forbidden from joining due to the necessarily selflessness and anonymity of my dedication and commitment to my monarch and country.

[b]Where do you reside, exactly?:[/b] That is classified information, citizen, and you are treading dangerous waters with your questioning.

[b]Could you describe, in general, the daily requirements of your job?:[/b] Certainly. As a colonel in the Burmingham's London Intelligence for Governmental Hideouts and Trafficking division, I am responsible for officiating law and peace-keeping operations as well as maintaining the security of the realm. I handle logistics, particular security concerns, staffing, and state awareness for the larger part of the greater London area. As a member of the royal army, in times of war or civil upheaval I command a brigade of men in service to the realm and crown.

[b]What kind of living is that?:[/b] Service is my only joy, citizen.

[b]Do you have anyone you fancy?:[/b] Romantic affiliations and coteries within the Royal Army as well as the Burmingham's London Intelligence for Governmental Hideouts and Trafficking division are strongly discouraged between a superior officer and any of their subordinates. Romantic affiliations and coteries by members of the latter group with members of the public, media, citizenry, nobility, and/or royal family are strictly forbidden. If I were pursuing any romantic interests, I would not be permitted to divulge any pertinent details due to the stipulations of the Burmingham's London Intelligence for Governmental Hideouts and Trafficking division's code of conduct, chapter 9, section 41, subsection 8, paragraph 1.

[b]I suppose that's it then, ain't it? I'll just carper off now.:[/b] No, you will not. Citizen, you are coming with me for processing and enhanced questioning for loitering and inappropriate solicitation of a member of the Burmingham's London Intelligence for Governmental Hideouts and Trafficking division.

[b]What is the point of this character?:[/b] Not intended as a character who causes problems. Rather, they are a source of intrigue within the setting - yes, there are a member of the Burning, but they have a great many concerns and cannot devote all of their attention to any one particular area of interest. This character will most often be seen having 'delicate conversations' with influential members of industry, parliament, nobility, etcetera, while also directing the general movements of certain elements of the Burning in response to trends in the city. If the colonel finds out about smuggling or unmonitored in a particular area of the city? He organizes increased security sweeps and random searches, and goes to have a chat with whoever the biggest name in the area is. He's a mover and shaker in the Burning, but he is but one of many, and his loss and/or performance in the grand scheme of things would not hurt the Burning.

Or, in short, he's a passive background threat to the other characters and a plot multiplier. Fear his jackboots. :E[/hider]

Characters still in progress...

[hider=Iikka Husch, Grand Innovator]Mark my worlds! Er, words. I mean words! This city is not big enough for me, my grand idea, and all you plodders as well! One of us lot will have to go, and it certainly will not be me or the grand idea, you hear me now?[/hider]

[hider=Cyrus Merrill the Sneak]Lotta dirty business these days, and there's always someone there to grease the gears and nuts and knobs so that they go in different directions.[/hider]
