Hyper-rough rough draft below. Still wrapping up some stuff (chiefly augmentations, but assume there will be many), but wanted to see if there was some early feedback (or thoughts like "Moskau, this IC information is hyper-lame and you suck"): [hider=Sister ViK] [center][Picture] [color=violet][b][h3]S I S T E R V I O L E T[/h3] [27] | [Female] | [5'10''] | [O-][/b][/color][/center] [color=violet][h3][i]General Information[/i][/h3][/color] [center][i]“Character Quote”[/i][/center] [color=violet][b]NAME:[/b][/color] Vera Ivanovna Kuznetsova [color=violet][b]ALIASES // TITLES:[/b][/color] Sister [color=violet]ViK[/color], Doctor [color=violet]Violet[/color], and just [color=violet]Violet[/color] to her close friends.

You mean the HyperHuman monk that comes around here every so often? Yeah, sure, I know her. She's quite easy on the eyes, for a religious sister. She's got that Eurasian look, whatever that means. She's ambiguous so to speak. Hard to place ethnically speaking, if you catch my drift. Speaks with a light accent, Russian maybe? She'd look even more flash if she let her hair grow out. You know, the boys gave her a hard time when she first came around. We don't get much of her kind here, mind you. Vestal virgins chromed up to the gills and dressed in robes, aren't exactly the norm here, you know? She damn near beat Jones to death when he tried to grab her. Never seen anyone move that fast before. Not like that. It was like watching a dancer except the fancy twirls ended with broken bones and an unconscious loud mouth. And then she sat down and finished the rest of her tea. Tea? Yeah, she only drank tea. Not that anyone was going to comment on it after what she did to Jones. The man was a proper street samurai, he could brawl with the best of them. What was she doing here? She said she was looking for someone. Who? No idea, some woman, another monk. Chen, maybe? It didn't matter. We'd never seen her friend. Never even heard of her. Not that we'd talk. You learn to keep your lips tight around here. Information will cost you. Speaking of, another drink? Thanks. Like I said, we didn't have anything to tell her. But she kept coming. Damned if I know why though. This place is a shithole, always has been, always will be. [/quote] [quote=Medical Assistant at the Clinic] "Sorry, can I help you? Are you looking for someone? Do you have an appointment? Doctor Violet? You can't miss her. Violet eyes, clean shaved head, wearing scrubs, and enough chrome for a small corporation. Oh, look, don't worry, she's a HyperHuman monk, not a common Ripper Doc She'll get you sorted, whether you've got the credits or cash. All we ask for is a [i]reasonable[/i] donation to the clinic so that we can keep providing our services for those in need. [/quote] [color=violet][b]OCCUPATION:[/b][/color] [quote=Administrator at the Clinic] "Yes, Doctor Violet is one of the cybernetic doctors volunteering at this clinic. Volunteering? Yes, everyone here is a volunteer. Seriously. Does this look like a high class operation to you? No, I didn't think so. Now, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave so I can get back to work— [i]My apologies[/i]. Had I known that you were interested in [i]donating[/i] to the clinic from the start I would of course have been happy to answer any pressing questions you might have had. Now please, what was it that you wanted to know again? Ah yes, the good doctor? Doctor Violet is one of our most talented cybernetic doctors and medical specialists. I daresay that you won't find anyone better inside or [b]outside[/b] of the Reclaimed Zone. If there's a way to fix, heal, modify, or implant it, Doctor Violet will know how. [/quote] [quote=A Street Urchin Sporting A Cybernetic Leg] Sister Violet? Of course, I know her! She's right over there. She's the one over there, the monk wearing the violet robes! And guess what? Her eyes are violet too! She always looks so calm. She teaches here every Saturday. She's nice, but strong! She taught us how to use our augmentations to defend ourselves! She called it the [i]Way of the Machine[/i]. She said it was a martial art created for people just like us.

I wish to help all those beings that suffer, whether biological or electronic. I wish to learn the mysteries of life and to steep myself in wisdom. I must improve myself. I must transcend the cage that is this body. I must overcome the limited cognitive abilities of this mind. I must perfect my soul. The machines call out to me. They touch my soul with their efficiency. They warm me with their purpose. Untold beauty and perfection awaits, if I but dare to seek them out. A new world awaits. Enlightenment lies just beyond the horizon." [/quote] [color=violet][b]CAMPAIGN GOAL:[/b][/color] [quote=Sister Violet] "My role as Chief Cybernetics Doctor is exceedingly simple. Truly, it is a wonderfully clear position. I see to the health of all staff members and attend to any of their cybernetic needs. Be it implanting, modifying, or repairing augmentations in service of this campaign." [/quote] [color=violet][b]PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY:[/b][/color] [quote=Sister Violet] "We must learn to transcend our flesh, for it is a mere relic, a vessel which can carry us no longer. The crass demands of our body warp the matrix through which we perceive the world and blind us from the truth. We must extend our awareness outward, beyond the self of the body, beyond the self of the mind, and beyond even the self of the soul. We must seek out and join with the machines, we must become one. Together we are stronger, together we are wiser, and together we are transcendent. To embrace each other with love is to achieve enlightenment and perfection." [/quote] [color=violet][b]POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY:[/b][/color] [quote=Sister Violet] "I support the HyperHuman Party with all of my heart, mind, and soul. I believe that health care and augmentation are human rights that should be guaranteed to every global citizen of the world. Humanity can only advance, humanity can only be perfected, and humanity can only escape the chains of our flesh, humanity can only transcend the limits of our biological systems by cooperating with machines. To save ourselves and to attain enlightenment we must [b]willing[/b] seek out and become one with our digital brethren. We must not let fear and ignorance hold us back any longer. We must not let violence, avarice, and greed hold sway over our hearts and our minds. We must free our souls from the corruption that we ourselves have birthed into this world." [/quote] [color=violet][b]SECRETS:[/b][/color] [quote=Sister Violet: Recorded Audio Logs of Secretary Wong] "While I greatly appreciate a visit from one of the personal secretaries of his imminence Chen Dao, I must humbly confess that I have no great secrets to share. My dedication to my work prevents me from engaging in some of the [i]dramatic[/i] activities of other members of our order. As to rumors that I am operating outside of the clinic, I must once again humbly plead my innocence and express ignorance as to the charges laid before me. It saddens me that someone would spread such unfortunate stories about me, but please convey to his imminence that there is little truth in these distasteful rumors. I serve only the poor, the sick, and the suffering in the Reclaimed Zone." [/quote] [color=violet][b]FEARS:[/b][/color] [quote=Sister Violet] "I fear stagnation. I fear corruption. I fear, as all should, that I might not have the strength to seek out the truth. I am afraid that I will one day lack the courage to do what is necessary. The path to enlightenment is not an easy one. It requires the complete sacrifice of the self. I worry that I may one day lose sight of this path. That I may one day forget, as she did. That I may stray, as she also did. I must not let my love for man and machine dwindle. I must keep the fire of my soul burning bright. I must be better. I must be stronger. I must be wiser. And above all else, I must be kinder. What if I never find her? I must find her. I must save her. I have to save all of them." [/quote] [color=violet][b]REPUTATION:[/b][/color] [quote=Reputable Ripper Doc Operating in the Reclaimed Zone] "Yeah, yeah, one second. What can I do for you, friend? Violet? Doctor Violet? What about her? Yeah, she's a fresh face. Never heard of her before she showed up some months ago. Not that that's particularly strange in this line of work. Everyone good has a couple of alias at the ready and a pocket full of high quality NIDs. We're the cutting edge, baby, and the cutting edge requires some clever paperwork and forged certificates. You're going to be waiting a long time if you wait for everything to be legal and [i]tested[/i] if you can even call what the corporations do any more testing. Fucking amateurs. They wouldn't know the future if it shot them in the face with a .50 cal anti-material rifle. Yeah, yeah, sure, whatever, rant over. Doctor Violet, I get it. She's a Ripper Doc, chum. What the fuck do you want to know? She's good, sure. She's fucking great if you ask me. Girl's got talent. Real talent. Not the kind of talent you learn in school. I've seen some of her work. Fucking out there man. I didn't even think it was possible to rewire an APEX cerebral implant like that. Not on the fly. Not using second hand gear dug out of a junkyard. APEX would kill to get their hands on a cybernetic doctor like that. Fuckers don't know what they're missing. The stuff of legends is what I'm talking about right here. She's an artist man, a real fucking artist. That's not all though. I've heard some heavy stuff about her. She's not your average Ripper Doc. She's not a scalpel jockey like the rest of us. She's a goddamned HyperHuman monk. Decked out to the nines with chrome and all that jazz. I heard she does charity cases in between proper work. People say she'll do some crazy work for free if her customers can't pay. Asks for whatever they can donate. Stupid. Very stupid. You don't do work for free. Never. Fucking ever. Still, it's gotten her some good will, it's made her some new friends. Where can you find her? The HyperHuman clinic, friend, she's not exactly running this stealth. You know what I mean? Nobody in their right mind is going to start shit with the HyperHuman monks.
