[hider=Sarah Ryley] [hider=Image] [img]https://i.imgur.com/BIwDlzo.jpeg[/img] [/hider] Name: Sarah Ryley Age: 23 Gender: Female Occupation: Engineer with masters in computer sciences and engineering Text colour for posts: [color=ed145b]ed145b[/color] Backstory: Sarah is the child of a military family, the youngest of 4 (3 brothers). Her father was a general in the British army, recently retired with honours, and her mother worked with the Royal Engineers. This meant Sarah grew up with a heavy fixation on health and security, and as she spent more time with her mother than her father she learnt a lot about operating machinery. However her real talent shone through when she was introduced to computers, earning the highest marks in schooling for information technology and qualifying for advanced schooling at a much younger age than expected. Her parents pushed her through technology, hoping for the girl to end up following in their footsteps and joining the military like all 3 of her brother had, albeit on the cyberspace communications side whereas her eldest brother had joined the RAF and the other 2 had already earned ranks within the army by the time she was just finishing her studies at Oxford. However, with the worlds resources running scarce she found herself pushed more into civilian technology roles on behalf of the Irish government as part of the militaries role of controlling the growing situation beneath the clouds. Thankfully due to her family links she didn't struggle to get resource to spend time below the clouds, and in fact began living there as part of her role, something her father felt offended by as he believed it to be degrading the view of the family. Sarah's selection into Project Genesis was a surprise, as her name seemed to come up out of nowhere with questionable references, albeit all with a locatable trail that made it hard to doubt. She proved eager and able to complete all the trials presented to her, and within a few weeks of involvement in Project Genesis the girl had helped to stabilise the systems running around the tear, her knowledge of the technology around it being surprisingly high as well as her natural skills at a computer allowing her to spot problems that a team of scientists had previously missed. Her knowledge on the engineering side from her mother proved she could do more than just keep data flowing as well, and Sarah passed all fitness tests at an acceptable level. Eventually to all but the very highest on the council the unknown nature of her place in the project was forgotten behind a work ethic and a weird quirky nature which lead her to questioning and sometimes changing the direction of plans. She was charming, funny, quite pretty (even if rather odd in her love of hair dye), and had made many friends within the project already. She was ready, but she was still being watched...for now. [hider=Super sekret backstory part]While Sarahs sudden appearance on the Genesis tests were a surprise to those on the council, to a group on the surface it was all part of the plan. During her time in Oxford, she met a man called Erik who was also in the same classes as her. They bonded as friends, and through that Sarah learnt of how badly those below were suffering. After a few years, she remained in contact with the man who claimed to have friends that wanted to make life better, and when she returned to living on the surface as part of her government job she joined a group called 'return from the heavens'. ROTH were denoted as a terrorist organisation that wanted to bring the elite above the clouds down and bring control back to the people. Sarah worked as part of the elite hacker group under the codename TCC (The Cornered Cat). The group managed to infiltrate the selection process, and a tiny handful of members had fake recommendations and stories planted to get them through the initial process, with only Sarah managing to pass all the test. The goal of this? To change humanities course away from the elite and back to those on the surface, because ROTH didn't believe that the Elite would simply allow the plans to benefit all of mankind when they had already commercialised the very air people breathe.
