[hider=NPC Character Sheet - Conner L. Hadley] Name: Conner L. Hadley Full Name: Conner Leo Hadley Alternate Alias: Victor W. Returner Age: 47 Physical Description: [hider=Appearance] [center][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/e3/34/1b/e3341b1b1545fa0242a5b7c1fed69580.jpg[/img][/center] Height: 5’9” Weight: 185 Body Type: Athletic Hair Color: Black Hair Eye Color: Orange Birthmark/Scar: The birthmark he was born with was atypical with his father before him and so on, throughout the Hadley Family. His back is covered to 25% to 35% with a birthmark that is highly unusual for people who see it that isn’t not in the family. The image of his back is that of the most seen thing from the Hadley Family as a whole, and that’s stars encased in a tight circle. It is symbolizing a caged ambitious personality that wants to control the vastness of space and has infinite possibilities in how to do that. He has to spread his influence to every corner of the galaxy to keep the Ascendancy in power as long as possible. He has only a singular scar on his left arm signifying he defended himself from a blatant show of force by his father, he was being taught how to block a sword but he failed in blocking it. Biotechnology Upgrades: He has been biotech enhanced to give him the best money could buy. He has been given the ability to literally see if anyone is lying to him just at seeing their body language or how they talk. Other than that, he has the same biotech upgrade package that allows him to change his eye color to any other eye color than his natural orange eye color. The vision upgrades were even more extravagant and costly since he can see up to about three times than a normal human but he can only switch between normal vision and ultraviolet vision. He couldn’t really afford the mark on the military upgrades for his eyes, since he would have to join the Military.

Hadley by self-replicating nanites. When the blade hits an opponent’s armor, the nanites slowly eat away at the armor and reinforce the weapon’s structure and destructive force power. When the center of the blade starts spinning, the top opens up and it allows Conner to fire a plasma beam shot at an unexpected target. [i][url=https://i.pinimg.com/564x/d3/11/b3/d311b3f6af1083d43c66959382cc76ca.jpg] The Gravia Upgraded Sniper Rifle[/url][/i] - This is a hyper specialized sniper rifle that Conner uses, since it can switch between anti-heavy armor rounds to the more personnel based rounds the one shot one kill rounds. It has a self-personalized AI that helps autocorrect for human error or other factors like wind and weather. However, all the other Gravia Sniper Rifles only have a single purpose its either taking out tanks or taking out personnel. [i]Wedding Ring[/i] - He wears his wedding ring on his left hand ring finger, the same as his wife Lana. His is less extravagant than his wife’s since it’s more or less a wedding band. [i]Galactic Credits[/i] - His exact amount of worth in the Galactic market is a bit insane. He makes most people cringe at whenever he starts investing in something that gains him more support and other type of things. However, his family is worth untold amount of credits, which has been slowly increasing in value ever since the family started being a Multiplanetary Corporation, the last estimated value of the Hadley Family was around Multi-trillions worth of credits. He usually only keeps about 250,000 credits on him at all times in physical or digital form. [i]The Gravia Omnitool[/i] - The Gravia Omnitool specifically keeps him in contact with every single person that is employed with the Gravia Military Company. The invasive nature of how much he needs to know of the people employed in the Gravia Military Company is a bit insane, he acts more like an overseer of a military action than an CEO since he involves himself in their lives. He keeps tracks of their movements, and he can contact them at any point of their mission, and tell them if they did a horrible job or a great job in whatever mood he is in. He usually tells them to return to Mars after a mission has failed or succeeded and Extra Training is mandatory. Some people are happy to talk to Conner and tell how their day is, but some of the Gravia Military Company has been on probation for awhile since their missing the Mandatory Training or Mandatory meetings with him involved. This has every other thing that a powerful and wealthy CEO requires from an Omnitool. The Gravia Omnitool specifically has the Gravia Military Company’s Logo on it, whenever he truly uses it. [hider=The Gravia Omnitool other functions] The Secondary subset objectives of this omnitool is to keep in contact with members of the Hadley In-Vector Corporation. He gives them praise and keep up their hard work and he usually gives them their off of work time whenever they want. This part of the devices functions isn’t as invasive as the primary reason for the Omnitool’s existence. The other function it primarily does is contact his military contacts in the Ascendancy Military. He usually contacts William Windsor via the secondary function of with the Hadley In-Vector Corporation’s logo on the screen instead of the Gravia Military Company. He only talks shop with William and praises him.[/hider] [i]The Scott Deluxe Luxury Cruiser[/i] - The Hadley Deluxe Luxury Cruiser has a specific name called Scott. Scott was the founder of the Hadley In-Vector Corporation about two-hundred years ago and this specific Deluxe Cruiser that’s for Luxury and travel to vacation spots in the Ascendancy. It’s a pretty scary looking Deluxe Cruiser, but it has no weapon systems on it. Which is why it is escorted by the Gravia Military Company Fleet or Ascendancy Military when it is going too far from the Core Sector. It has the emblem of the Gravia Military Company and the Hadley In-Vector Corporation on both sides of it. Conner co-owns this Luxury Cruiser with his wife Lana. [hider=The Deluxe Luxury Cruiser - Compartments] It has around 25 to 30 decks. It is slightly larger than the military cruiser variant but it has armed guards and many side activities within the hull. The Bridge of the ship is off limits only to the owners of the vessel and they usually talk to their huge bridge staff about the details of their movements to their vacation spots or business meetings. The Bridge crew can contact the lead ship of escort fleet to literally give them a formation to follow and the Scott will follow it to the letter. All the Bridge crew are from the Hadley In-Vector Corporation and has little to no combat experience except for all the armed guards and the CEOs themselves. The Deluxe Luxury Cruiser is equipped with spacewarper technology so it can get to its destination quickly. [i]The Hadley Mansion Datapad[/i] - This specific mansion datapad is alike a house key but it is a datapad instead. And it is required to go through every single check that the Gravia Military Company has in its arsenal to make sure it isn’t a fake. And it usually isn’t fake since its very hard to make fakes of highly private families alike the Hadley Family. Conner’s datapad has a specific ornate gun design, which is different from other designs.[/hider] [/hider] Short Bio: [hider=Conner’s Bio] Conner was born into the most wealthiest family in the Ascendancy of Man, which is called the Hadley Family. Mars, is the planet, which he was born on. They run the biggest interplanetary corporation, which is the Hadley In-Vector Corporation. His parents are called Jessica O. Hadley and Stuart L. Hadley. They were extremely happy, they had a boy. You could tell in their voice when Conner first talked, which was three years old. Every single thing the boy done gave them a smile on their faces. The only thing that changed in Conner’s life was his parents got extremely busy and couldn’t really stay and watch the kid. He wasn’t at all allowed to leave the house, and he got his learning from very extremely good tutors. He was a socially awkward kid, when he was growing up. He couldn’t really understand much things, but he saw something that made him a bit angry. The lack of a proper Military Company that would allow them to get military contracts with the Ascendancy Military High Command. He saw the prices of the contracts and outright hated them, they were too expensive to even allow the Weldon Military Company to do things. The Weldon Military Company had a great record in not allowing anyone to enter the Hadley Family Mansion’s property line as long as they have worked. He decided on a fly, he was going to find his father in the house and talk to him about the Weldon Military Company. However, he was lucky he caught his father in his office, who was working on something about a little something with the competition. [b]”Father… I have something to say,”[/b] Conner said. [b]”What is it? I am busy with a plan with the Steven Family, it’ll make sure our two families will last until the next century at least or even further,”[/b] Stuart said. [b]”Easy, I want to talk about the Weldon Military Company’s failings. The price of the military contracts we give out to the Ascendancy Military is highly expensive,”[/b] Conner said. [b]”Ah, I was wondering when you were going to come to me. Which is why I was at home, so what’s your plan to reinvent the wheel so to speak?”[/b] Stuart asked, his son. [b]”I want to rebrand them. With a brand new name and motto. The motto is Better Dead than an Alien Slave, which equals the Gravia Military Company. Which will make us able to ‘remake’ the contracts for things the Military doesn’t want to do. Like Assassinations and other things,”[/b] Conner said, proudly. [b]”I do like the motto and the name, you gave me. I will give you the reigns of the Weldon Military Company to transform it into the Gravia Military Company,”[/b] Stuart said. [b]”What’s that business with our competition on Mars, father?”[/b] Conner asked, curiously. [b]”Gotta wait until your 16 years old, until you find that out,”[/b] Stuart said. Conner was escorted out of the room, specifically by one of the Weldon Military Company’s Elite Bodyguards, who was told to stay with Conner at all times. Conner was a bit angry at the fact he said the Steven family, since he was taught to hate competition, which is on Mars. However, he was proud that the Weldon Military Company had a proud history of defending the Hadley Family Mansion without any deaths on either side. Mostly, his father right now is dealing with a worker revolt at a Hadley In-Vector Corporation Factory. He knows he needs to change those specific policies as well to make sure everyone is treated equally, but by their merits as employees though. [hr] On his sixteen year old birthday, he was given an great opportunity to find out what was going to happen with the Steven Family. He was escorted by armed guard, he had done at least 20% of the shift over to the Gravia Military Company. However, he needed a bit of support in the rest of the transition. He approached the door until he saw the most beautiful girl sitting at a table, which looked a bit afraid of what will happen. He walked directly up to her and he was head over heels in love with her. [b]”Hello Miss, what’s your name?”[/b] Conner asked, the girl his age. [b]”U-Uh, Lana. What’s yours?”[/b] Lana asked, looking around mostly at her father. [b]”Beautiful name, Lana. My name is Conner,”[/b] Conner said, with a smile. [b]”You have a handsome name…,”[/b] Lana said, looking directly at Conner after he introduced himself. Conner and Lana, were blushing at the same time. It was the first time they felt true love to another person. However, they didn’t know their love was going to keep them through what their parents had planned for them. Conner sat down by her and held her hand. She smiled kindly towards him when he sat down besides her and held her hand, she was blushing happily. Stuart walked up to Conner and Lana, since he was supposed to tell them what is going on. [b]”Hello Conner and Lana R. Steven. I must say you look like a cute couple already. But I must tell you the most important thing. You are supposed to be married about in six hours from now. I worked with your mother Lana, to arrange this arranged marriage. I have to say, you are welcomed to move in with my family and we will take great care of you. Since it wouldn’t be a good idea for you to stay with your father. Who wants an investment returned or some such nonsense he was yelling to me a bit ago,”[/b] Stuart said, sincerely and calmly. [b]”W-Wait… What? That’s the whole reason why I was told I had to wait until my 16th birthday,”[/b] Conner said, a bit shocked. [b]”Thank you, Godfather. I will definitely move into the Hadley Mansion and change my name to Hadley. Since I am going to marry your handsome, kind and generous son, who complimented my name… All my father does is yell at me and beat me constantly,”[/b] Lana said. Lana had tears going down her eyes but these were happy tears so she can finally stopped being beaten up by her father. The physical abuse almost made her give up and die. However, she was specifically told by her mother that she was going to be freed from her abusive father, if she married the Hadley Family only son. She agreed to it from the onset, no matter what she will marry Conner. However, it did help that they fell in love at first sight, the both of them that is. [b]”Thanks. Your mother couldn’t be here Lana. She’s quite busy. Hey prick, who abused his daughter,”[/b] Stuart said. [b]”What do you want?”[/b] Lana’s father asked. [b]”Easily, can you get the fuck out of here and never return to your daughter’s life ever again. Or else if I hear that you were at my mansion. I will make sure your life is a miserable hell. I only made that deal with your wife and not you, scumbag,”[/b] Stuart said, angry pointing to the door. [b]”Sure, I got what I wanted. The Trash out of my house… and that’s what Lana is to me. I will always get the last laugh…,”[/b] Lana’s father said. Lana’s father, who’s named Derrick P. Steven walked out of the door and got into his super expensive car and drove away quickly since he had a business meeting with someone else anyway. Lana, heard what her father called her was crying when her father called her trash, and all she was was a good child but her father was a very angry person all the time. It didn’t help she was wearing glasses. However, Conner kissed her on the lips and helped her calm down from what her father said. Lana was a bit shocked that her first kiss was taken from the one she loved completely. [b]”Conner let’s go to get married..,”[/b] Lana said, with tears in her eyes. [b]”Lana, yeah let’s go,”[/b] Conner said, happily. Stuart saw the first time his son was truly happy. Something tells me, all that he’ll teach these two youngins will make them numb to outside people and keep their bonds close. He was a bit angered at what Derrick called Lana. Stuart was Lana’s godfather, who wanted her to have the best in her life as a living human for humanity than a girl who’s dead. Which is why him and her mother planned the Arranged Marriage that was going to happen in marriage six hours after both parties involved was told. [b]”Thank god Brittiany R. Steven was smart enough to give me the reigns of your protection their Lana…,”[/b] Stuart said. [b]”I am happy you are my godfather, Stuart. But can you tell everyone involved before the fact instead of keeping it a secret,”[/b] Lana said, happily. [b]”No problem, Lana. I will make sure I keep you apprised of things. After you marry my son,”[/b] Stuart said. [b]”I am happy. You helped me find my true love father,”[/b] Conner said, happily. Lana gasped in wholeheartedly affection at Conner what he said to Stuart. She was extremely excited to have found her true love too. Stuart laughed at what his son said to him and could see Lana’s reactions and shock at the fact, they met each other after all this time apart. He was happy that there’s two more souls that are complete. He’ll be happy when these two marry happily. [hr] 14 years later, on Lana and Conner’s 30th birthday and 14th anniversary being married. Lana was in the hospital giving birth to their daughter, and who were at her birth was no other than Nikolas R. Zahrin. Lana had no real clue in naming their daughter and looked over to Nikolas for advice. Conner was waiting patiently with anticipation in what the Dragon has for a name. [b]”Nikolas, got any advice for our daughter’s name?”[/b] Lana asked, curiously and happily looking at the child in her hands. [b]”Yeah, I do. Narvia F, you can fill in her middle name if you want,”[/b] Nikolas said, happily but annoyed at the fact Lana or Conner never calls him by his call sign. [b]”Hmm.. Folspear sounds like a good middle name for our daughter there Nickolas. I am grateful you are here the Dragon,”[/b] Conner said, with a smile on his face. [b]”Every time you actually use my call sign, you want something in return,”[/b] Nikolas said. [b]”It’s pretty simple, you will owe me a favor in the future,”[/b] Conner said, smiling. [b]”Oh okay. I will make sure I am ready for that favor then,”[/b] Nikolas said, with a cryptic look on his face. Conner didn’t know what Nikolas was thinking since he’s pretty much very hard to tell about what he’s thinking about. Lana was happily holding her daughter Narvia, and didn’t really notice the birthmark that was on her daughter’s arm. Even though she was told about the certain thing in question to keep an eye out for. Conner didn’t even really notice it either. However, Nikolas did notice the specific birthmark on the left arm, however, he didn’t bring it up since they were happy right now. He waved them goodbye and he let out a small sigh. [b]”Lana…,”[/b] Conner said, happily. [b]”Conner…,”[/b] Lana said, happily. [hr] Three years later on his daughter’s 3rd year birthday. Conner was in his study awaiting for his wife to enter his study to tell him the good or bad news. He was hopeful it was going to be good news. He was on the phone with a member of the Ascendancy Military High Command about certain things he wanted to learn. They gave him a bit much of what they were planning and the High Command was getting a bit much interesting into people who were highly intelligent but young. However, they didn’t directly outright said they were hunting children. He didn’t have to wait too long, when he looked up and noticed his wife in a huff and a bit angry at what’s going on. He told the High Command officer, which he’ll call back after he talks to his wife. The High Command Officer was happy to hang up and allow Conner, to talk to his wife. [b]”Husband… I got bad news,”[/b] Lana said, worried. [b]”What is it? What kind of bad news?”[/b] Conner asked, a bit worried as well. [b]”Our daughter is the bad omen, you were told about by your father and his before,”[/b] Lana said, highly annoyed. [b]”What…? Our daughter is completely worthless trash… I should have known. I didn’t know but I was still happy at the fact we had a daughter. She has the specific birthmark that means ruin for our corporation and family as a whole,”[/b] Conner said, angrily. [b]”What was the ‘unsaid’ code again?”[/b] Lana asked, a bit curious. [b]”If a child of our great family is born with a birthmark, which is three stars surrounding a triangle on their left arm. It would mean the ruin of our great family. We must keep our power, prestige, and wealth in our hands and not the hands of the one who would ruin us completely. This child must be expunged from our records and disinherited immediately,”[/b] Conner said, reciting the code. [b]”Does it specifically say, she must die?”[/b] Lana asked, annoyed at the code being recited by her husband. [b]”No, but it’ll be the best thing for that piece of utter garbage. However, I have been making inquiries into a certain program that could be a two for one deal. Our daughter can be taken away and die in a non issue of a war. Since our great Ascendancy needs to expand. She dies equals the person we use will gain fortune and fame but if she’s captured, he’ll rue the day he crossed us,”[/b] Conner said, with a smile since he specifically knows who to use. [b]”Hmm, you are literally talking about the Dragon. The one who stopped his own assassination attempt on his life by our forces. And he knew they were the Elite Assassination Squad before he picked them up. They are still in rehab and the hospital because he wrecked them,”[/b] Lana said, smiling slightly. Conner still visits those two morons and laughs at them for failing their assigned task. But it helps him in other ways, the Dragon definitely deserves his reputation in Conner’s mind that is. However, he looked at the clock on his desk. Lana somewhat laughed at the fact they will get rid of a bad luck charm for their family and put it on someone else. However, the two didn’t know at the time it’ll be the opposite for the Dragon, Narvia will be a good luck charm for everyone but the Hadley Family. Conner called one of his contacts in the Ascendancy Military High Command, that was tied directly to the Dragon’s Brigade. They talked for hours and learned specifically about his inquiries from him. The answers he got made him smile from ear to ear, it was what he needed. [b]”Good news, I got really good news. The Ascendancy Military needs child soldiers for their up and coming war against the Rauve, an alien race. There’s some other alien races within the Rauve’s coalition but I don’t really care about them,”[/b] Conner said. [b]”Ah, how completely ironic. Child Soldiers to fight against our enemies. Feels like we will never get out of this cycle of using children to fight our wars. It’s been in all of human history really,”[/b] Lana said. [b]”Yeah, feels like a good way to kill off our diseased flesh. In terms of our daughter. I want you to keep in contact with our daughter and show her hope before it is snatched from her. I will give the Ascendancy Military High Command, my response to their exact questions in two years when I talk to the Dragon,”[/b] Conner said. [b]”I guess, I’ll feign love to her, even though she gets enough of it from our very good Maid, Jennifer. I guess she gets it from her older sister Vienna, who’s in the Dragon’s Brigade,”[/b] Lana said. [b]”Hmm, that’s nice to know, it is in the Stoutfield’s best interest in keeping rich families happy,”[/b] Conner said. Conner noticed Lana walking out of his study to go to bed. He stayed there and continued to talk to his contact in the High Command. He finished what he told them and wanted the Dragon specifically at his corporation building’s HQ or else. They asked, when will this occur. He responded to that in two years. After that he hang up, and went to bed and noticed his wife Lana was sleeping a bit uncomfortably. He helped her to get comfortable by hugging her but then turning on his side to fall asleep. The next morning, she woke up still with that realization of what her father was trying to tell her, with his fists and not his words. However, she came to a sudden realization again, which was she shouldn’t give a fucking shit about trash and soon to be disinherited, disowned and given to the Military. She had felt like the world on her shoulders for all this time, was lifted off of her. She was completely in agreement with her husband from yesterday. She woke up her husband by moving him. Conner wakes up with the poking that his wife does to him, and looks at her with a bit of a determined look on his face. [b]”Conner. I have to ask. Can we get rid of Narvia as soon as fucking possible? Like even before she turns 11 years old. Since if she turns 11 years old, we will have to show her to the Ascendancy Elites,”[/b] Lana said, nervously. [b]”Hmm, that’s a good idea. I almost forgot about the coming out party for our daughter. When the so called daughter has an 11th year birthday, you can literally say whatever comes to your mind first to anyone who asks,”[/b] Conner said, with a thinking face. [b]”That’s good to know, thanks husband, I will definitely come up with the first thing that pops into my head,”[/b] Lana said, comfortably. Conner kissed his wife on her cheek and they both went back to bed. They slept peacefully mostly because of the fact they don’t really check on the Hadley In-Vector Corporation or the Gravia Military Company at this point since it’s the CEO’s off time for once in their lives since they usually just sleep in bed and go to their studies to do side activities. [hr] [hider=Two Years Later, Dirty Dealings]Two years later, Conner was preparing for the meeting with the Dragon in his meeting room of the Hadley In-Vector Corporation HQ. While he was in his office, right next to the meeting room in question. He looked over his notes that he was given about the Dragon’s military career and it’s pretty much terrifying and reinforced in his head that the Dragon’s Brigade will be the best choice for his daughter’s death. He hasn’t really thought that the Dragon himself would keep his daughter alive, but he wouldn’t know until he talks to the Dragon personally. The Dragon walked into the meeting room with annoyed look on his face and a bit frustrated to be told to report to Conner’s meeting room ASAP. [b]”My friend Conner, I hope you aren’t wasting my time here. I am a busy man keeping the Ascendancy protected from outside forces and training the new recruits in tactics that are too new for the old dogs,”[/b] The Ascendancy Official said, with a stern and annoyed tone in his voice. [b]”I am not wasting your time, Nikolas. If I was wasting your time I wouldn’t have called your superior officer for an urgent meeting. It is about the future of the Hadley In-Vector Corporation’s support to the Ascendancy of Man as a whole. Since we have always been staunch supporters of our new aligned goals in space, the Xenophobic stance that is,”[/b] Conner said, with a urgency to his voice. Nikolas sat down at the furthest end of the meeting room table, since he knows how long these type of saving great assets of the Ascendancy go in terms of meetings. Since he heard the orders from his commanding officer to get to the Hadley In-Vector Corporation’s HQ ASAP or he would be dishonorable discharged or court martial with a life sentence. He nervously takes out a cigarette and lights it up in the room and puffs smoke besides him instead of towards his friend. [b]”Therefore, what is the urgent news? I must say, this is pretty responsible of you to have me court martial or dishonorable discharged from the military if I didn’t show up here. Even though lately we have been getting more help of lately via some other means. Since we don’t really use your shell company that often anymore, only as a last resort if that,”[/b] Nikolas said with a smile. [b]”Quite easy, my dear friend. I heard a rumor that there was a child soldier program running, mostly because I hefty bribed some high ranking officials to make that rumor no longer a rumor. However, I did promise the officials I bribed I won’t be telling this to any of the people I usually talk to in my world of corporate politics,”[/b] Conner said. [b]”You spent much money on getting that information. Therefore, anything for the Ascendancy of Man to do something for you? However, it is nice you will keep this secret you gained via all those bribes you gave to the higher ups,”[/b] Nikolas said, having the cigarette in his mouth. Conner stood up from his chair on the complete opposite of Nikolas, and sighed a bit. However, he was grateful there was an ashtray in front of Nikolas. Since he knows how much Nikolas smokes, and always is prepared for the unexpected when it comes to the Dragon. [b]”Easily enough, I will give up my daughter’s right for the betterment of mankind. Against the alien filth, which surrounds our glorious Ascendancy,”[/b] Conner said. [b]”Wait… what? Willingly giving up your daughter’s rights when, your corporation is the only one that is never targeted for any programs that the Ascendancy create or start up since your staunch stance of defending of our values. Not to mention, the Gravia Military Company,”[/b] Nikolas shocked, at what he said. Nikolas, however, went through the reasons of the said reasoning and couldn’t really come up with why he would want to do this. He put his cigarette in the ashtray so it wouldn’t fall anywhere. Conner gets up from his seat and slowly walked towards the Liquor he has out for anyone to drink during meetings. He pours himself a drink of Whiskey. He nurses it to ease himself a bit into what he is about to say to Nikolas. [b]”I have already made steps ahead of time to make sure, she’ll never get anything from me and Lana ever. The only thing that will be better for her is death. Which that is what me and my wife wants the most but there’s a slight problem. If we kill our own daughter it’ll be felt throughout the Ascendancy as a whole. Therefore, we will need to use the Ascendancy Child Soldier Program to get rid of our daughter without the mess involved of cleaning up a family death. I do have some Gravia Military Company members that will exchange my daughter to the Ascendancy Child Soldier Program,”[/b] Conner said, he took a breather. [b]”Anything else? I should need to know about your daughter before this is a done deal,”[/b] Nikolas said. [b]”My daughter is highly intelligent young prodigy for our family,”[/b] Conner said, confidently. Nikolas blinked a bit when he heard exactly what Conner said at the end, that his daughter is a Prodigy. However, he didn’t really truly believe the ‘reasons’ why Conner wanted to get rid of Narvia, since he was there at the birth of their daughter. Even though, he wasn’t named the Godfather of her. He’s the reason why they named her Narvia Folspear Hadley since he had his reasons giving them the middle name and apart of the first name. However, he wondered what what age, she’ll be exchanged at into the Child Soldier Program. [b]”Something tells me you are holding something back, Conner. What exact age do you want to unleash the child soldier program on her? Since this is a pretty much a lot to take in all at once since I am the one who even helped you and Lana named your own daughter,”[/b] Nikolas said. Conner remembered the day that Nikolas gave him and his wife a very big help in helping naming their daughter, it was a wonderful day, when they filled in the last three letters of her first name. However, he laughed at the question prior to him being reminded of simpler times. He knows the exact age, that will be the most tough and trying on Narvia and the last person she’ll see is Jennifer, who more or less raised Narvia. [b]”I am pretty serious, but the program in question will be unleashed on her before she reaches age 11. As well, I must remind you the Gravia Military Company will be delivering her straight to your doorstep completely unconscious and ready for experimentation. Since all she’s good for is a guinea pig that will kill our enemies in droves,”[/b] Conner said. [b]”How long have you been planning this blatant outrageous act against your own child?”[/b] Nikolas asked, a bit curious. [b]”You could say even before she was born. It was more or less a family plan, but the Child Soldier Program is perfect for the filth she is,”[/b] Conner said, with disgust towards his own child, Narvia. [b]Damn… I never heard a father that outright hated his own flesh and blood this much,”[/b] Nikolas said. Nikolas takes another puff of his cigarette before putting it out in the ashtray. He stands up from his seat. He walks over to the alcohol bar, that is in the meeting room. He decides to get some whiskey similar to his friend and drinks it. He has never seen Conner this way before. He sighs with a slight of an annoyance at the blatant hatred of his friend towards his own child. [b]”Conner, I will make sure the top brass knows of this plan you have for your child. Our scientists will have no morals in experimenting on a child that was sold to us. Anything else you want to get out of the way? Like another bribe,”[/b] Nikolas said. [b]”Ah, yeah, I do have one simple bribe. I want her to keep the last gift from us in the most ugliest necklace ever created for an outcast and discarded trash ever. But this bribe is literally to tell her some hopeful thing from the necklace that we gave her, instead of what my wife and me want to say to her fully and true,”[/b] Conner said. [b]”Something tells me… this won’t be good. What do you want to truthfully say to her?”[/b] Nikolas asked, curiously but dreading what will be said next. [b]”Easily. If she ever returns to our home or our corporation building Headquarters on Mars. She will be killed on sight by the Gravia Military Company, brutally. Since she is a disinherited/disowned piece of shit but we must keep up our appearances I say,”[/b] Conner said. Nikolas puts down his drink slowly and gasped in terror, and can see exactly why he wasn’t allowed to have a weapon in the HQ building. He knows what he has to do to make sure that doesn’t happen, even though she’ll be killing enemies for the Ascendancy. However, he’ll probably be put on a secrecy clause to never tell her anything anyway or be killed for treason. [b]”I must say, you thought of everything. You know of my unpredictable nature to a T, and knew if I wasn’t in this building. I would have probably shot you for the unbearable asshole you are being right now. But I must play along since you do report to my superiors faster than I can do anything to you. So, what’s the so called non-truth?”[/b] Nikolas asked. [b]”It is good to have great connections. And yeah, that’s one of the reasons why I bribed your superior officer in question to threaten you, it worked. The truth to her ears. Are as follows, You will be on a journey of discovery, it’s that simple. I can show you the tenth year birthday present since I have a hologram of it,”[/b] Conner said. Conner put down his whiskey cup down right next to Nikolas’ cup. He walked over to the meeting hall table and touched a secret button on the bottom of it nearest to his end of the table. A console opened up on the top of the table and he entered the access code for the Hologram in question he wants to show to Nikolas. It was a simple designed necklace made with a bronze circle with a piece of a topaz tear in the direct center of it and on the bronze circle was engraved with [i]’Journey of Discovery.’[/i] Nikolas saw the necklace in question and sighed at the fact Journey of Discovery meant something else entirely. [b]”Hmm, I will make sure my superiors and theirs hear of this bribe you want to make. But I guess there’s a way to uncover what it really means?”[/b] Nikolas asked, curiously. [b]”Yeah, but I won’t tell you how to uncover it. Since it is for Narvia to ‘uncover’ what it means for herself,”[/b] Conner said, laughing at his question. [b]”You are a pretty much an asshole you know that right,”[/b] Nikolas said. [b]”I know, it’s better to be an asshole and support the Ascendancy 110% than to be an Alien Slave, am I right?”[/b] Conner asked, confidently. [b]”Yeah, you are right. Even the top brass enjoys your funding and Gravia Military Company’s support from time to time,”[/b] Nikolas said. [b]”Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. I will start be building a fleet of warships for the Gravia Military Company but they will be smaller than the largest starship in the Ascendancy fleet. It’ll be a Cruiser exactly named after my wife Lana. Since that’s what we’ve been doing for awhile. I guess that’s another larger bribe to allow us to have our own defenses to protect our corporate interests,”[/b] Conner said, with a better mood after he got that off his chest mostly about his daughter. [b]”I will tell my superiors about that larger bribe, that will allow you to build up your fleets. Since all the Ascendancy requires more factions within it that will protect our interests and the Hadley In-Vector Corporation’s Interests. We are a prideful bunch of Ascendancy members,”[/b] Nikolas said. [b]”And I will not pass along that you threatened my life in this meeting, my friend. Since I enjoy you at your rank a bit more than a dead friend,”[/b] Conner said. Nikolas went back to drink his Whiskey and finished it. He waved goodbye to his best friend, Conner. He walked out of the Hadley In-Vector Corporation HQ on Mars and went to his car, to head towards the nearest Military Branch Office to talk to his superiors about the deal he made with Conner. Which was a great success, even though there will probably be backlash to Narvia, vanishing without a trace on her 10th birthday.[/hider] [hr] Conner felt like he has finally used his one and only thing over Nikolas, the favor, which Nikolas owed him. He walked back to his office and waited for his wife to reach him to tell her the good news. He waited for about what it feels like hours, until his wife walked into the office and looked a bit happy herself. She smiled directly at him. [b]”She still thinks that we love her…,”[/b] Lana said. [b]”That’s good, the dealings I had with the military is completed. The Dragon’s Career can go one of two ways. He becomes even more terrifying or he loses his job in the Military,”[/b] Conner said. [b]”Ah, nice. That means we are one step closer to her delivery and our freedom of that lesser than human filth than our pure hearts of the nature of the Ascendancy of Man. For the Ascendancy,”[/b] Lana said. [b]”Here, here. For the Ascendancy,”[/b] Conner said. He got a message saying, [i]‘We’re watching.’[/i] Conner was a bit confused at the message but it didn’t say anything else. He only knows one person in question that would send him that specific message, the reclusive prick that survived many different things that was thrown at him. [b]”Damn it, Derrick,”[/b] Conner said. [b]”Why did you say my father’s name?”[/b] Lana asked. [b]”Most people would say something more convincing than Derrick,”[/b] A strange staticy voice said with a creepy female voice. [b]”Ah, you. I remember you,”[/b] Conner said. [b]”Who? And why am I creeped out right now,”[/b] Lana said. [b]”Yes, it’s nice you remember me, Conner. You did create me…,”[/b] A strange staticy voice said with a female voice but it vanished as soon as it appeared. [b]”Uuh, what was that?”[/b] Lana asked. [b]”Hmm, I promise I will tell you later. After our business with our daughter that is finished,”[/b] Conner said. Lana nodded her head and she was looking around the room, but she could still feel, she was being watched by whomever that voice belonged to. She couldn’t really put her finger on it but she was outright a bit afraid of that. However, the feeling of being watched stopped completely and it felt like a normal room again. She looked at her husband with a specific look on her face. She didn’t really bring it up though since it creeped her out a bit too much. Conner was lost in thought, but he had a look on his face of not really enjoying hearing that voice again. However, he snapped out of the thought he had. [b]”I’ll take you to dinner so we can calm our nerves,”[/b] Conner said. [b]”Yeah, that sounds nice,”[/b] Lana said. Conner got up and shut off the lights in his office and they walked to their car, which Conner had a bit better car in terms of its top speed and its sporty look. They got into the car and drove away to the restaurant, which they first met since it’s has fond memories because it was when they first fell in love all those years ago. [hr] Five years later, on his daughter’s 10th Birthday. He was in his office looking over the gifts that were going to be given to his wife and he was a bit shocked at what it is. He sighs and wonders why the President and the Ascendancy High Command is gifting a TLI experiment that was developed in the Ascendancy Black Site that his daughter is going to. [b]”Damn… my wife is going to be extremely happy that she’s going to get her Scythe weaponry after all these years. And it is coated in Perfected Electrum on top of it,”[/b] Conner said. After awhile, he got contacted by his wife. It was pretty easy to tell, what she’s doing drinking hard liquor. He laughed a bit when he saw her face was a bit annoyed. [b]”Conner, the deed is finished. The Elite Assassination Squad will be escorting our daughter now. I can’t wait for our daughter to be on the lost in action in the Military as unknown child soldier or whatever else that happens,”[/b] Lana said, happily drinking her drink. [b]”Ah, that’s excellent wife. I hope they don’t screw this up alike that failed assassination attempt on the Dragon. Or they won’t be living this down at all. They will be laughing stocks of the Gravia Military Company,”[/b] Conner said. [b]”Therefore, is there any gifts heading my way by the Ascendancy High Command or the President himself?”[/b] Lana asked, curiously. [b]”Yeah, it’s going to be delivered to the house after the SUV leaves the property, it’s the brand new Scythe they’ve been testing,”[/b] Conner said. [b]”Oh nice… I have a better handle on Scythes than any other weapon melee weapon. Since that’s what my trainer told me, when I was tested at a Military Base… But I didn’t cut it mostly because of Derrick... He ruins my life more than anything,”[/b] Lana said, happily. [b]”It’s called the TLI 8000 Electrified PE Scythe,”[/b] Conner said. [b]”Oh… I know what PE stands for, Perfected Electrum. That’s going to be interesting since I never used a scythe that was coated in the stuff,”[/b] Lana said. Conner hangs up because he had some work to do. He was working on fixing the mistakes he had in specific thing that creeped him and his wife out about five years ago. He found the code that was corrupted and fixed it. He created whatever he just fixed about when he was only 10 years old. It is highly protective of him and his family’s secrets, which includes the secrets of his wife Lana now. He turns it on and the hologram of a youngish girl appears in front of him, it was a augmented reality turned into a Hologram. [b]”How are you doing?”[/b] Conner asked. [b]”Pretty good… you fixed the error in my code, thanks Conner and sorry for creeping you and Lana out,”[/b] The female hologram said. [b]”Do you remember your programming’s name?”[/b] Conner asked, curiously. [b]”Yes.. R.E.N.A - Reactive Ethereal Nano Assembly or what Stuart called me exactly, the Rena AI. I will always be your friend Conner,”[/b] Rena said, happily. [b]”That’s good that still works, I thought I messed up again. But it’s better that I didn’t,”[/b] Conner said. [b]”When will you tell your wife of me? She should know that her father is alive and hasn’t been found after he vanished without a trace all those years ago,”[/b] Rena said. [b]”I’ll tell her now, that you are fixed and better than you were when I first built you,”[/b] Conner said. He accessed his communications and contacted his wife, which she answered right away since she had an extremely happy look on her face, while holding the TLI 8000 Electrified PE Scythe in her left hand. [b]”Hey Wife, how do you enjoy the new toy you got?”[/b] Conner asked. [b]”I love it. I’m going to give a donation to the Ascendancy Military to make more of these weapons, they are very inventive tools. Why did you call me?”[/b] Lana asked, curiously. [b]”That’s nice you are going to give them an donation since the company that made them requires donations to create more models with different elements attached to them. Remember 5 years ago that we were creeped out. I fixed my friend in question,”[/b] Conner said. [b]”Friend? You have a friend… And I definitely remember that creepy female voice that was very staticy it’s stuck in my head,”[/b] Lana said, confused and a bit terrified. [b]”My friend’s name is Rena, which is in turn is an AI,”[/b] Conner said, a bit embarrassed. [b]”Aww, you created a female AI. When did you do that? I wanted to create something but my father disallowed me to do anything other than be in my room,”[/b] Lana said. [b]”I created her when I was only ten. Also, your father is bonafide alive. At least he’s no longer married to your mother, that’s like the ONLY good thing. The Ascendancy couldn’t get rid of the target at all for some odd reason. I have no idea where’s he is hanging out,”[/b] Conner said. [b]”My mother told me he would was going to be dead so I wouldn’t have to deal with that bastard anymore. And you are telling me He’s alive and well? He’s probably beating more kids with his rhetoric and forcing them to do stupid things,”[/b] Lana said, shocked to her core. [b]”I don’t know wife, but wherever he is the Gravia Military Company and the Ascendancy Elites will make sure he’s dead for sure this time around,”[/b] Conner said, reassuring his wife. Lana hanged up on her husband, with a bit of a rage to her. Conner was worried about Lana, but didn’t want to get in the way of Lana’s rage against her father. Because he knew that Lana had a slow burn and a long fuse, it makes certain things in the Ascendancy look tiny in how long it takes her to blow up. He wonders how long she’ll take to calm down but he went home and just looked around and didn’t see Jennifer there and was grateful for that since he hated her as well. [hr] [hider=The Biggest Scandal of the Hadley Family] The next year, Conner was at work as usual since he usually allows his wife deal with the Mass Media and other things. He keeps an eye on certain things, since the event to debut their no longer their daughter is soon to happen. He had a smile but he didn’t know the fact, their daughter wasn’t there it was going to cause a Scandal to happen. He was too busy to keep an eye on the TV to watch what will happen. He, however, noticed something was happening in the corner of his eye and saw his wife say, the thing in question by no other than the Maria S. Estervone, and the monsters live among us. [b]”Hmm.. Something tells me Maria is Lana’s sister. But I can’t really tell from her movements, however, this helps me buy up the Steven Research Institute,”[/b] Conner said, with a bit of a shock anyway. He looks at the time and the stocks of the said Institute and they were falling fast then he did a very quick conference to save his company and to buy up the entire Steven Research Institute in one massive power play to get rid of his only competition on mars, while at the same time giving him the highly needed in keeping his wife in the black. His entire conference speech saved the Hadley In-Vector Corporation and turned the Steven Research Institute into a subsidiary of the bigger Interplanetary Corporation. He made reassurances to all the stockholders, every single one of them that nothing will bad happen to the Hector In-Vector Corporation’s Commitments. The Steven Research Institute will keep its branding, its CEO, which is his wife’s mother Brittany. And will be able to finally release its technology to the Ascendancy Core Worlds than all of the Ascendancy as a whole. [b]”One more thing, I must say, in this conference. Don’t let the hard times and propaganda against our President of Humanity, Emmanuel. Get you to believing them, since he’s doing the best for every single citizen of the Ascendancy. For the Ascendancy I say and the Ascendancy will stay strong as possible,”[/b] Conner said, with a reassured look on his face. He was quite happy with everything, he saved his wife’s value and outright saved face during the Scandal, even though he wanted to say the same thing his wife said, but told a complete and utter lie about his daughter, that she’s sick and that’s why she didn’t show up to her reveal. He wished there wasn’t a scandal but there was, but he completely forgot about the NDA. And the fine print that the child has to be there for them to to sign it. [/hider] [hr] After the Battle of Proxima, which they found out the rumors. That they were told about from their specific contacts in the military, which the rumors were true. Conner was a bit pissed off at this specific detail, their daughter was captured by the Rauve and the Human Coalition. Because of the fact the Ascendancy surrendered to the Alien filth in question. Therefore, he had one single option to start the theta plan, however, it was pretty much unknown to everyone. However, it did help that he was finished building his escort fleet to his Deluxe Luxury Cruiser, with the cruiser Lana being the head of the defense fleet. [b]”Damn it. Lana, guess what?”[/b] Conner asked. [b]”What’s going on? Why are you so pissed?”[/b] Lana asked confused. [b]”My contacts in the military told me ‘Navi’ was captured by the enemy and they have no idea, how the Aliens treat their human prisoners,”[/b] Conner said. [b]”Narvia is captured and not dead. Damn it, I hope you have a backup plan,”[/b] Lana said. [b]”I do. I always do, it’s in my family’s nature to always have backup plans,”[/b] Conner said. Lana hugged her husband and watched a TV show they were watching that never gets interrupted by anything from the government since they know how badly the Ascendancy got defeated since they were there talking to Alexander. They trust him to regain the strength the Ascendancy lost under the incompetent admirals. [b]”I am hopeful Alexander, will regain our lost glory,”[/b] Conner said. [b]”For the Ascendancy, Conner,”[/b] Lana said. [b]”For the Ascendancy,”[/b] Conner said. [hr] On Lana and Conner’s 47th birthday, which was a happy time, they didn’t really hear anything of any importance of their child’s movements or anything. But if she comes to the Hadley Home, she’ll be reunited only with a coilgun shot through her chest. They were sitting down at the table to continue eating but they remembered they had to see the President of the Ascendancy. [b]”Let’s go husband,”[/b] Lana said. [b]”Yeah, yeah. I know. Though the President gives us extra time to get prepared to meet with him most of the time,”[/b] Conner said. What will this meeting entail? The two most supportive of the Ascendancy as a whole is going to be meeting with the president. [/hider] [hider=Exceptional Skill List] Exceptional Swordsmanship Exceptional Sharpshooter Exceptional Politics x2 Exceptional Business Exceptional Cunning Exceptional Speech x2 [/hider] Additional Information: [hider=The Hadley Mansion’s Defenses] The Hadley Mansion’s defenses are pretty intense for a highly rich family, but the Hadley Family 110% supports every single little thing that the Ascendancy is doing. The Hadley Family’s Mansion has been called the Fort Knox of Mars. The only people, which call it the Fort Knox of Mars is literally the Ascendancy Military High Command & the President. Since they need to protect their biggest supporter in every little thing they are doing. To this end, the Hadley Family outright supports the Ascendancy Regime fully. They only ever pick the winners and not the losers or underdogs. There’s three MBTs, two Anti-Air Mechanized APCs, eight hyper specialized gunships, which is the only mobile vehicles within the defense plan. They have about eight railgun turrets, which are buried underneath the ground and pops out to show of its quad-cannon setup. There’s about two samsites that will shoot down aircraft that passes the line. It has a Radar Tower, camouflaged in the backyard by flowers. The Mansion also has a manufactured Airfield, that resupplies the Gunships, private space shuttle, and private jet. The Airfield is directly behind the Mansion’s fence construction, to give the Hadley Family easier access to an Airfield. The Airfield is covered in camouflage that makes it look like that there’s a vast field of flowers and not a military airfield near a mansion. The mansion itself, is reinforced with the best materials in the Ascendancy, which it had to be reconstructed since the Hadley family was remodeling it. The Mansion has about three camouflaged radar deflecting satellites on the roof of the mansion. In addition, it has capabilities to fire missiles at spaceships that it deems a threat to the security of the mansion or a Railgun Orbital Cannon that is underneath the ground at all times, which it only fires at incoming meteors.[/hider][/hider]
