Epiphanes served as Sergeant for Tin Mona during the Sin-Mona War. Upon his return, he attended Tin Mona University, where he received his Bachelor of Arts in Religion and was promptly contracted by his government as an archeologist inspecting recently conquered lands. After a time, Epiphanes began negotiating inter-planetary contracts between Tin Mona and several Sopori Skylines, with respect to galleries and more lucrative pieces of art. As a stipulation of his contract, his government paid for him to attend Montes Rook International University for his Master's of Economics.

After another time, Epiphanes was caught by Tin Mona for smuggling undocumented pieces from the domain. He fled to Galea, where much of his money resided. He purchased a 5-star resort and quickly acclimated to the Galean high class. He invested much of his money in several other major operations in Galea and surrounding regions.

Alice Springfield AKA Blink

ＥＤＵＣＡＴＩＯＮ :

Double B.S. in Streetwisdom and Domestic Terrorism from Hard Knocks Academy (note: self-accredited).

ＳＫＩＬＬＳ :

• Bladewielding
• Parkour/Urban Navigation

• Good Reflexes
• No Pain Receptors
• Intimidation

ＥＸＰＥＲＩＥＮＣＥ :

• When asked to retrieve a client's antiques from a sealed vault, blew out a floor with explosives before hauling the vault off with a crane.

• Redirected a high-velocity sharpshooter bullet back to its shooter with her blade, securing both a kill and a major bank administrator's life. Proceeded to shake him down for his credstick.

• Once defended a client's cargo shipment from automated assault drones for 12 straight hours, with only a blade and a broken arm.

ＳＩＧＮＡＴＵＲＥ ＭＯＶＥＳ:
//flicker.exe

Alice throws herself forward, stepping through THE DIGISCAPE to arrive a few meters away. In action, this looks as if she is disappearing and reappearing in a haze of white noise, VHS glitching and chromatic aberration.

//ctrl-z

Blink can ready herself to receive an attack or offensive action full-force and try to either reflect it wholesale or redirect it. The more powerful and dangerous the attack, the more chance of it breaking her guard. This is intended as a last ditch effort, or a flashy showoff move.

//pull the plug

Blink steels herself, hand on her blade and eyes locked on her target. The cinematic black bars close in, the traditional shamisen and taiko music starts up as the tension builds. As the tension peaks, Blink unsheathes her blade, inflicts a decisive blow and sheathes her blade again, letting her opponent fall to pieces or to the ground out of her sight. Only a finisher but it's cool as heck, she promises.

Interview

Tell me a little about yourself...

I don’t talk a lot. I read a lot and I keep myself to myself. You need someone to talk or you need someone dead, I don’t ask questions. I just do it and I move on to the next thing. I don’t like guns, swords and the other crap people use. I like to use my hands, it’s a truer test of oneself. The true measure of a man is not that he can kill, it is how he does it.

Why do you want this job?

I’m bored and I like to hurt people. Seems like a logical step.

How are you qualified?

Across about four skylines, the name Callahan rings out. It used to be cos of the way my father did his business. After I crushed his skull with my own boot, that changed. My creed of fear has spread to different skylines and people know that when the hire me, they get results.

What is it you expect to receive in return?

Maybe I’ll finally find someone who can put up a fight.

Biography

B I O G R A P H Y

Life on Mars:
Callahan, a name that rang out across several Skylines. The Callahan Syndicate were well known thugs for hire, ran by a committee of brothers, one of whom had a child, Tye. THe story of his mother is unknown. The boy was raised amongst violence and murder, his body infected with the fever that made men cruel. The Callahan's were notorious for making their kills feel very personal, even if they did not known their intended victim. Often, they beat and torture their targets until finally granting them death. It was this particular practice that Tye himself would become well known for. In order to join the syndicate, Tye had to kill. He was thirteen when assigned Mao Raito as a target. Disguising himself as a street urchin, the boy found his way through Mao's personal guard and face to face with him in a resteraunt toilet; he proceeded to down him and cut out his heart. If Tye was going be violent, he was going to be a professional about it.

Dead Men Tell No Lies:
A series of unfortunate events led to Tye's father being incarcerated and pressured to turn on the Syndicate. Thus the committee settled on sending the brutal Tye to deliver a message to any would be rat. Once again using a disguise, young Tye broke into HQ and without a second thought proceeded to torture his father, breaking his bones with a hammer until finally crushing his skull beneath his boot. It became obvious to all from then on that Tye's loyalty was not to money or to family, it was to the fever, the rage, the glow of violence. He simply wanted to fight until he couldn't any more.

Professional Violence:
Tye felt trapped within the Syndicate and opted to leave. Of course they would not let him go quietly into the night so he proceeded to destroy the committee with a little subterfuge. Through some back channels, Tye organised a mass bombing of Callahan businesses and safe houses. Near enough to everyone was killed; any that survived would stay away from the business for life out of fear. Int he ensuing chaos, Tye himself was accidentally caught in the blast, destroying his left arm and lung. As revenge, he sought out the attacker and shoved a grenade down his throat. He underwent cybernetic replacement surgery on his arm but then proceeded to upgrade other apendages as well, seeing them as simply another way to increase his chances in a fight.

Since then, Tye has jumped from Skyline to Skyline, working for whomever bids highest and doing the dirty, bloody jobs that no one else would take. The name Callahan still rings out but not for a gang but for a man; a man of pain and bloody glory. He is in the business of Profession Violence. He is a Brutal Artist.

Taleste Jot-Anne

E D U C A T I O N :

Taught how to read and how to steal by my uncle

S K I L L S :

• Stealing
• Pickpocketing
• Sneaking
• Infiltration
• Burglary
• Eavesdropping

E X P E R I E N C E :

• Operation White Rabbit: Was part of the team of small time crooks who stole the secret formula to Smooji (trademark) soft drinks, hence why every company and their mom now makes it. Still tastes as terrible as ever, though.
• How Do You Do, Sir?: Once posed as a valet and managed to steal over a hundred wallets before anybody noticed.
• Instant Karma: A rival thief once tried to steal from my house. I had overheard the plan, and while he was busy stealing my personal effects, I went to his vacant house and stole his car, sold it, and used the money to replace everything, buy better home security, and still have a hefty profit.

_{E Q U I P M E N T} :

I own an electronic lockpick, a manual lockpick set, and a retractable club just in case I get spotted. If there's anything else I need, tell me now and I'll have acquired it by tomorrow.

Interview

Tell me a little about yourself...

Well, I was born and raised in the slums of the industrial sector. My family had kept up the appearance of factor workers for generations, but in truth, we were a dynasty of skilled pickpockets and thieves. Things didn't go well, though, and since I was a young girl, it was just me and my uncle left alive. He raised me like I was his daughter, really. Sorry, am I boring you?

Why do you want this job?

My uncle's trained me to carry on the family legacy, but I wasn't going to do that stealing small change from middle management or helping two-bit crooks break into warehouses. That's why I came to this part of the planet. I want to move on to bigger and better things. Make a name for myself. We could both benefit from this.

How are you qualified?

Well, I bet you didn't even notice you were missing these. (She puts your wallet and rolex on the desk in front of you.)

What is it you expect to receive in return?

Fame. Fame and a legacy for myself.

"You got a problem, you break it down."

Résumé

ｔｈｅｍｅ ｓｏｎｇ.ｍｐ３

ＮＡＭＥ :

Ethan J. Blaine

ＥＤＵＣＡＴＩＯＮ :

B.A. Computer Science, Chell University
Ethan got into programming in his teen years. He studied it at college and was the first in his family to go to university. Hes fluent in the 3 main programming languages and can pick up others on the fly. He even custom built his own ICE breaker using code from 3 commercially available ones. Usually programmers have to make a choice between connection speed and security. Ethan is determined to have both, so he rebuilds everything he gets to optimise it.
Tactical room clearing training, Gunsite.

ＳＫＩＬＬＳ :

• Close Quarters Pistol Training
• Weapons proficiency in standard issue rifles and a few designer ones.
• Urban Parkour/Navigation
• Hacker, keypads, security systems, computers
• Fast Reflexes 1.5x speed of a normal human.
• Urban concealment.
• Tactical room clearing training (Gunsite).
• Fluent in 3 main programming languages.
• Counter surveillance.

ＥＸＰＥＲＩＥＮＣＥ :

• Has worked for you for a few operations before this one. Managed to get an access key from someone's email.
• Once breached a hotel room to install a worm on a marks hard drive. Regularly filters through information spikes. (Ongoing)
• Managed to bug a managerial meeting discussing the bargaining position of a wealthy consortium. Allowed you to push them to the limit of what they were willing to pay for the deal.

A B I L I T I E S :
Shrike "Blur":X1 Ethan had to save up and has just bought the Shrike "Blur": X1, This fibre optic upgraded nervous system allows for incredibly fast movements and reaction times. However there is a limit to which his muscles can go before they run out of energy, requiring him to go and down numerous sports drinks and energy bars.

Traceur: Parkour. Ethan has been a traceur since he was about 12. He was in on the parkour scene where he grew up playing on construction sites. Even then he had some idea that it would prove useful later in his life. His parkour name was "Satchell" as chosen by his peers.

Phenotype Edge: Blaines ancestors have been through hell and come out clean and smiling. His earlier ancestors, when they were taken from Africa. His father, in the US army. Fighting is a tradition, weather its in a war or just fighting to survive. Whenever he takes heavy wound, it only counts as light wounded.

"My fathers tricks of the trade" Ethans father was a Sergeant-Major in the US army. He was the leader of a special unit that conducted counter-terrorist and anti smuggling operations that would take him all over the world. He didn't talk much about his work, but he was a strict father and taught Ethan what he could about warfare. He couldn't have predicted the way the world would change.

Ethan is proficient in all manor of standard issue rifles, and even a few designer ones. However he is talented most with pistols and can push a good pistol to the limits of what their capable of. He is also proficient in breaking any lock (headlock, arm lock etc) someone puts on him with a well known martial arts move. Judo, Karate, Aikido, Boxing, Krav-Maga.

Mild OCD: Everything in Ethans possession is immaculately ordered and completely dust free. His hard drives, his server towers and even the code that he writes. This may infact be a mild form of OCD but it has its benefits: When writing a program such as a custom ICE breaker, it takes him 1/4 longer but the finished product counts as one quality level higher.

E Q U I P M E N T:
FN-10

3d printed scandium alloy with short reset trigger, black tennifer finish. 10mm AUTO, 14 rounds. 3 magazines. In a concealed carbon fibre shoulder holster. 2 magazines of 10mm TAZER rounds.
