(Runners) [hider=Klaus Hoffen]Name: Klaus Hoffen Age (16+): 23 Gender: Male Nationality: German Years as a Runner: 5 Description of appearance (and outfit): Klaus is fairly tall, with blonde hair and green eyes. He often wears a long white coat over a long-sleeved black shirt and a pair of jeans. A brief bio (complete with personality): Klaus and his sister Marina came to Sundown shortly after the Operari gained power in the German government. Born to parents who were immune to Servitutem, they barely got away with their lives when the Operari sent people in to kill their parents - Klaus managed to fight them off with his mother’s sword Schwarzrand, and quickly took Marina with him to run away to London; there he sought out a place he had only heard whispers of: a place where those who were unaffected by the Servitutem lived their lives not only safe from the Operari, but actively fighting against them. With the government after them, no parents, and carrying a confused and scared young Marina, Klaus knew he only had one choice. He had to find this place. He had to find Sundown. Klaus comes off as aloof and distant, but more often than not this is due to his awkwardness around people. Despite his lack of experience with social interactions, he still tries his best to be kind to the people he knows well. He’s very protective of Marina, though he has made a conscious effort to try and let her become her own person. Melee weapon: A black shortsword passed down in the family, known by the name of Schwarzrand. [/hider] [hider=Marina Hoffen]Name: Marina Hoffen Age (16+): 18 Gender: Female Nationality: German Years as a Runner: 1 Description of appearance (and outfit): Marina is quite short, with shoulder-length light brown hair with a green ribbon in it. Her usual attire is a blue hoodie dress and white trainers. A brief bio (complete with personality): Marina’s life changed drastically on that one day, five years ago. Awoken by a worn out and wounded Klaus, she was told only one thing. [i]“Marina. We have to go.”[/i] Marina didn’t talk back – There was a fire in her brother’s eyes that told her to ask no questions and trust him. Together they ran, stowing away on trains and boats to reach London. Whenever Marina asked were they were going, Klaus would simply look at her with a weary smile and simply say nothing but two words. [i]“Somewhere safe.”[/i] As their journey continued, Klaus eventually opened up, telling her all about the place called Sundown. The place they would be safe, the place where they’d stop fleeing and start fighting. [i]“The only place we have left.”[/i] When they finally arrived, Marina was kept somewhere Sundown guaranteed she’d be safe. Every day, Klaus would tell her tales about what they’d been doing, and the people he’d met. She spent almost every waking moment waiting for the day she’d finally be able to join, and start helping. That faithful day came years later, when Klaus awoke her with a calm, trusting smile. As if intentionally calling back to the day it all changed, Klaus only asked her one thing. [i]“Schwester... Are you ready to start fighting?” “Ja. I am.”[/i] Marina is cheerful and confident – Almost too confident, one could argue. She’s determined to be the best (whenever she isn’t convinced she already is), and is often trying to prove it to everyone else. These boasts aren’t unfounded; she certainly is a good Runner, and picked up the skills and techniques quickly. However, many can agree it wouldn’t hurt her to be a bit more humble... Melee weapon: A pair of weighted gloves.[/hider] [hider=Doctor Chiaki]Name: Doctor Chiaki Age (16+): 31 Gender: Female Nationality: Japanese Years as a Runner: 4 Description of appearance (and outfit): Chiaki is fairly tall and lanky - She definitely isn't undernourished, its more like she's just a bit of a stick figure. She can often be found wearing a lab coat with a blue camisole and light brown trousers. She has teal-green hair (dyed, of course) with blue eyes. A brief bio (complete with personality): Remarkably little is known about Chiaki's past - Despite how sociable she is, she very rarely talks about herself outside of the four years she's been one of Sundown's doctors. All that is known is that at some point during her career in Sundown, she became Church's personal physician - Apparently she had a 'natural talent' for prosthetics. She certainly is very good with Church's legs, but whenever anyone asks her where she picked up that kind of knowledge, she simply grins and answers quite mysteriously. "In a past life, I suppose you could say." Chiaki is eccentric to say the least, but quite sociable and often good for some playful banter. She seems to garner great enjoyment from making people uncomfortable, but she's actually surprisinly sensitive to people's feelings. Melee weapon: None[/hider] (Specter) [hider=Aleta Arabella]Name: Aleta Arabella Age (16+): Unknown Age when enrolled as a specter: Unknown Identification number: SL-1958 Gender: Female Nationality: Dutch Years as a specter: As long as most can remember Description of appearance (and outfit): Aleta is averagely sized, with long, unkempt, dirty blonde hair. She always wears a tattered crimson red dress (though there are signs that it was once white), and no shoes. Her frame is thin, just about approaching being dangerously so. A brief bio (complete with personality): Aleta grew up in Amsterdam, and like many other teenagers, she took to recreational drugs. She never thought much of it; it was always just a bit of fun to her. However, it wasn’t long before she was hooked, and it was an expensive habit. She was burning through her money quick, and she could barely hold a job with how she spent her nights. So when the Specter program began recruiting in her area, she figured she may as well. If anything, it’d give her some much-needed direction in life, right? So she signed up, and they took her away. When they told her they’d be injecting her with drugs as part of the program, she simply scoffed. That was definitely one thing she was good at – She could handle whatever they gave her. But something went wrong. No one really noticed at first – It was just little things; sudden mood swings, spacing out, irregular tics every now and then. But despite the random lashing out after being perfectly fine, not listening to people when they spoke to her, and her habits of spending free time sitting and staring at the wall, this wasn’t what set off any warning lights. No, everyone knew Aleta Arabella was insane when she confessed her love to Gilligan Gunner. But no one interfered – As long as it wasn’t an immediate problem, they couldn’t care less. That was, until Jane Sanders went missing. Since the day before her disappearance, Aleta had holed herself up in her room and just wouldn’t come out – But once again, no one interfered; it wasn’t an immediate problem, after all. But after days of searching for Julia, all signs pointed to Ms. Arabella. When the Specters broke down the door, they found a ghastly sight – A floor covered in blood, a desiccated, almost mauled corpse lying in the corner, walls covered with mad scratches and words written in blood, and one girl sitting in the middle, coated in blood: they had found Ms. Aleta Arabella. Naturally she was detained, and the next big discussion amongst the Specter Council was what to do with her. It seemed to be the unanimous decision that she was a danger to other Specters, and needed to be executed. All of the votes were for execution – Except for one. And that one vote belonged to none other than Gilligan Gunner himself. So it was agreed that Aleta would be kept in detainment. The werewolf now had an attack dog. Aleta is - in most ways - rather difficult to predict. She is kept far away from he rest of the Specters, under lock and key; mostly for their protection. She listens to no one but Gilligan, for whom she has a disturbingly loyal fixation. She can go from docile to wild at the drop of a hat: no one is quite sure what sets her off, though on occasion she been heard talking quite venomously to someone she calls Julia. Melee weapon: Aleta keeps an array of knives and blades on her, and is frighteningly proficient with them. Unarmed training: Though she has no formal training, Aleta is a lot stronger than her appearance would lead one to think, and her brutal way of fighting is a force to be reckoned with, even unarmed.[/hider] (Omega) [hider=Tabitha Reynard]Name: Tabitha Reynard Earned name: The Latex Angel Age (16+): 27 Born Omega/Turned from Runner: Turned Nationality: English/American Description of appearance: Tabitha is a tall, rather imposing woman, with long black hair with dyed violet ends, and piercing blue eyes. She is rarely seen wearing anything but her black leather dominatrix gear. A brief biography: Tabitha was once a bright-eyed, cheerful young girl, and a Runner with Sundown. She was incredibly sociable, and very few people didn’t know her well. However, one day while on a mission, she was jumped by an Omega. Brandishing an incredibly sharp knife, it looked as though he wasn’t letting her escape alive. Though the fight started out in his favour, Tabitha was able to quickly turn the tables with her close combat skills, and she had disarmed him, pinning him to the ground with her weight and his own blade. Immediately he began begging for his life, grovelling pathetically as he called her ‘mistress’ and ‘goddess’, pleading for her to spare him. At that moment, Tabitha was assaulted by a feeling within her – Her mind raced. Her lips curled into a smirk. She felt strange. She felt odd. [b]She felt good.[/b] Looking down at him with harsh blue eyes, a single word slipped from her smirking lips. [i]“No.”[/i] She sunk the knife into his chest, but didn’t stop there – She continued stabbing, giggling madly as blood spurted and spilled, bring her arms up and down as the great feeling inside her only swelled. When she came down from her high, panting and dishevelled, covered in blood, she suddenly realised what kind of situation she was in. She had two choices – Go back and beg to the Elders, grovel for her position like that Omega had for his life... Or she could embrace that feeling. Delve into the dark pits of that sadistic high and experience it again and again. It didn’t take her long to choose. On that day, the Latex Angel was born. Years of sadism have made Tabitha a very proud, borderline egotistical woman. As seen when she refused to torture Roark, she despises the idea of being used by someone else, and won't take orders unless it coincides with what she wants. Despite her rather unapproachable air, she does seem to have the odd person within the Omegas who looks up to her, and she isn't hostile to [i]everyone[/i]. However, due to her pride and her preference to having people under her boot rather than on equal levels, she does find it rather troublesome to make friends, and a small part of her feels a slight sadness toward this. (Beating anyone who looks at her funny to a pulp certainly doesn't help, though) Runner rival: Henry Goodman (?) Specialty: Close combat and interrogation. Melee weapon: A belt full of S&M tools, including a pair of whips. Her stiletto heels have also been sharped to a point, and can cut as well as any knife. Long range weapon (not mandatory): A Colt M1911 pistol. Brutality: Frighteningly so. Goal as an Omega: To experience that sadistic high.[/hider]
