Bio
gin a body catch a body comin thro' the rye, gin a body catch a body, need a body cry?
Appearance: Bastian is a wiry, lithe builded man with a square jaw, a small cleft on his chin, and dirty blonde hair that’s rarely not unkempt. He stands barely over six feet, and takes very few precautions in regards to his seemingly ratty appearance. He isn’t too muscular, but he’s more concerned about agility and finesse than bulk and power. (It's the brain that matters, right? And it's ain't like his armor is weak.) Despite his cheap style, he is rarely seen without some sort of technological device or gadget (weapons and armour excluded) with which he can toy. His most notable (and used) accessories are his cyber-goggles — often referred to as, ‘my babies.’ He generally has a pensive, distracted look on his face, but if his ears didn’t serve a purpose, then he probably would have had them removed by now. So, yeah, he’s paying attention; he just lacks the reason to let people know it.
Personality: As a technojunky with too much idiosyncratic curiosity, Bastian’s most incredible skill is his resourcefulness. He can do a lot of something outta a lot of nothing and likes to keep it that way. Sure, the fancy stuff is damn wankable, but in the end, Bastian doesn’t appreciate waste (even if he might look like something similar; at least, without his armour). He’s a minimalist and believes less is more (the cleaner the kill, the better). Of course, if more is needed, Bastian isn’t so prude that he’d shy from getting necessary resources. But, yah guessed it (Or did you? Hyuk.), if shoes are optional, he ain’t fucking gunna wear any.
His social life is also fairly minimal, but that doesn’t mean he’s shy. In fact, he’s pretty curious about how other people operate and function. He looks at them (especially with all the cybernetics and cyborgs polluting the world) as some sort of technological device that humanity hasn’t quite learned how to properly hack, yet. If his cues come off as odd or queer, it’s probably ‘cause he’s trying to find the backdoor or break it — he’s pretty fucking selfish like that.
Ingenius – Egocentric – Perceptive – Incongruous
Bio: It’d be stupid to imagine Bastian hadn’t grown up in the dirty part of some mega-city, but then again, anything is possible, right? Right. Except, Bastian’s upbringing is pretty transparent with nothing too internally different than the exterior that he portrays. Both his parents worked as minimal, disposable employees to the lowest ranks of some mega-corporation (Eurocorp) that incidentally had it’s tentacles wrapped tightly around the entire population. Shocker of shockers, right? Bastian is transparent, after all -- up until the whole part where his backstory gets convoluted with weird coding and keyboards that no one but him can use properly and all that good matrix fuckery. It is assumed someone close to him knew something about something and got him hooked on the program where he cleaned up his agile techno-abilities while operating under the 17DEM movement. on the side, he 'punched cards under the table,' and at some point, his jaded goggles got murkier, and he stopped seeing any point in helping any movement aside from himself. Putting his organized guerilla warfare days to a partial rest, he now free-lances his work, and as a front, he repairs lower-end electronics and lives in a shoe box apartment.
District: DST-21-EAST.
Konchu III
An original device constructed and innovated by Bastian. Konchu III has quite a bit of memory for a little guy and operates relatively smoothly, surfing the atmosphere for grids and patterns that she can spin into her own web. Her main function is for ease of movement through nets and clouds of information, where she can manipulate frequencies and such for confusion or delayed response time from the target. Her range is only a fifty meter circumference, however. She has several moveable cameras on her and can shoot a total of seven paralyzing electric darts in 'self-defense.' She also has a kamikaze mechanism (causing her to explode and destroy her valuable information), which had to be used on Konchu I and II. Bastian hopes Konchu III will not leave him a Widower.
NADE Rifle
A cyber-rifle of sorts. It's fantasmic. It's orgasmic. It's Bastian's cock, but it's probably not his manhood, 'cause that's more of a biological thing than a weaponry thing. It's not the loudest thing, if yah could not tell, yet. Flash and show ain't for Bastian. However, whatever is being shot out of the barrel might be a little bit surprising for anyone that doesn't know the model.
Low-Energy Pocket Knife
The knife doesn't need to be glowing to work, but it definitely is more harmful when it is. Bastian mostly has this handy little gadget for extreme cases of emergency. Although, he'll lie and say otherwise. It is a fun little girl to twirl around in his hand and cut chords with.
TC-WASP Suit
Formally known as the Transparent Chrysis-Wireless Application Service Protector. As someone who prefer the minimalist aesthetic as opposed to the bulky brute advertisement of baddassery, Bastian has taken his pocket change and invested it in this sleek, hi-tech, fabric of a build. Modeled after the giant Chrysis Wasp, the transparent suit's uses wireless technology to blue-ray (as can be seen more prominently in the suit that produces an anonymous mask over Bastian's face) a cybernetic force around his body. The suit's stealth ability is its dominant feature -- and like the Chrysididae do in the wild, the user of this suit has all the tools necessary to make a complete, unsuspecting cuckolding infiltration over his targets. The suit can be worn in broad daylight without attracting much attention, worn under every-day attire. Removal of any clothing covering the suit is necessary for (near) invisibility. When not being used for transparency, the suit is black in nature with quick lights of blue circulating through the tight weave. The TC-WASP also offers electronic capabilities to source other such tech-devices. When the mask is in use, vital information (variant on how well the user operates the TC-WASP's system) can be dispersed for registration by the user.
"Music makes me forget myself, my real position; it transports me to some other position not my own. Under the influence of music it seems to me that I feel what I do not really feel, that I understand what I do not understand, that I can do what I cannot do. I explain it by the fact that music acts like yawning, like laughter: I am not sleepy, but I yawn when I see someone yawning; there is nothing for me to laugh at, but I laugh when I hear people laughing.
Music carries me immediately and directly into the mental condition in which the man was who composed it. My soul merges with his and together with him I pass from one condition into another, but why this happens I don't know."
Leo Tolstoy, The Kreutzer Sonata
Name
Eiko Niebo
Age
27
Appearance
Eiko is a lean, olive-skinned girl with a tempting and suggestive sway guarded by an almost all-too-cliché sarcastically stoic demeanor, which just so happens to wear on her attitude of involuntary conformism towards such stereotypes which only adds to her own self-annoyance. So, she could change her outfit and look a bit less lusty, but hey now, if she’s going drift around pointlessly in this painful existence, why not offer some entertainment with a skimpish black one-piece? And sure, her breasts are a bit small and yawning, but if perky and youthful isn’t in the least bit interesting, at least her bare, toned thighs have some sort of substance, especially when she’s walking. And, those dark red lines outlining her piece don’t hurt when accentuating her feminine physique. She thinks she looks pretty fucking sexy, anyways, and if no one else does — whatever — their loss.
Although, Eiko is above average height, a little more height for intimidation added by her black boots, matching in gesture and design with her short one-piece, wouldn’t hurt with anything, right? Yeah, Eiko thought the same, as well. The soles even have some phenomenal gripping and weigh nearly nothing, which upgraded her kicking game post the addition of these accessories.
Her pale, white hair is kept short and choppy, cut with bangs and decorated with her trusty black and gray goggles that occasionally cover her arrogantly worn yellow eyes. An unlit cigarette butt usually sticks out of her thin lips. Sometimes, she’ll even light and smoke it. However, the rolled tobacco and paper pressed simply in-between her lips is enough to keep her round, austere face from looking too vulnerable. She wouldn’t want to catch too many people off guard with her pinch-able cheeks and button nose. It gets a bit lagging after a while, anyways.
Oh, and the ‘earmuffs’ are obviously good for more than muffling out loud crossfire sounds. They are also headphones that can play music and help her communicate with the rest of the crew along with other various nearby channels.
Traits
As an outwardly-looking perfunctory type of character, Eiko has no problem going-with-the-flow, even if she’ll openly grumble against it from time-to-time. It’s not that she doesn’t have a backbone, but her collectivist style of living sometimes gets the best of her. Don’t get her wrong, though, she has passions — like the thrill of hearing a gun cock click right before all hell breaks loose, spending precious time gently lubricating her plasma rifle, and slirping down cheap, steaming noodles with poor, overly salty seasoning, and, as always, getting to know her co-workers.
One of her pastimes is simply listening to music. Unlike her cliché appearance, though, Eiko has no real set genre of music to which she listens and thoroughly enjoys space travel for the experience of listening to the various and different music-types around the Solar System. It also saddens her a bit whenever a song gets stuck in her head, and she has no real means of listening to it after Absolute Magnitude gets directed to the next mission. So, hearing Eiko make a half-assed hum when not wearing her headphones isn’t too uncommon.
Eiko also spends time practicing the art of Silat. Her own personal Pencak is often times silently demonstrated to whatever music is playing in her headgear. She’s also usually up for a good sparring and taunting foreplay beforehand, and if you want to see her smile, poke in her ego a bit. She’s a good sport — for the most part.
Don’t be fooled by Eiko’s Japanese first name, she’s not from Mars. Although, she does hold quite a bit of Martian blood in her. Someone down the line pulled himself up by his bootstraps and made a voyage from Mars to lead a better life, away from all the convolution and crime of the shadow planet. It must not have been too far down the line because Eiko’s first bounty was hunting down her older brother, Jun, a Gold fugitive, initiated with the men of the yakuza.
Okay, so, she didn’t really, really hunt him down. She had that sisterly insight on things, which was, of course, Jun’s mistake. Eiko needed the money, and well, the rest is history.
Her father also worked as a Licensed Weapons Dealer. This worked in favor of Eiko’s knowledge of munition, but it also helped introduce her brother to the darker side of some innocent seemingly customers. Without either, though, Eiko knows she wouldn’t be where she is today, and she’s still deciding if that’s good or bad or just some absurd fate she’ll never truly understand that might as well be drowned out by the sound of music.
Strengths
Savvy She's not exactly a ‘Jill-of-all-Trades (and Master of None),’ but she is a quick learner with agile reflexes and fine motor control skills. Give her a few tools, and she can fix a lot of problems. Well, the non-existential-crisis problems, usually. But, don’t worry; she can fix the existential-crisis ones, too, even if the methods are generally fatal as her good hand-eye-coordination makes quite a useful combination when using rifle, her preferred weapon of choice. She has a metal tiger claw on hand for out-of-ammo emergencies and close-encounters, though.
Weapons Specialist She's got good hand-eye-coordination, so detonating and deactivating are all fair play. Plus, her father was a Licensed Weapon Dealer. What could she not know? (A bit, but hey -- no one's perfect, and that's not saying she ain't a specialist.) In regards to things like gun fire control -- this is generally when Eiko slides her goggles over her eyes. She's never sure when she's going to be blasting heavy artillery at attacking ships or have an electro-mechanical analog ballistic computer screen blaring at her light eyes. Those radar screens can also give quite the headache in heated moments... But, whatever, she's got her lucky goggles. Eiko is also more than capable of operating large fire munitions that aren't so technical. Just don't ask her to properly aim one of those 19th century canons, 'cause that's above her pay-grade.
Athletic Eiko is probably more athletic than she is intelligent, but that doesn’t mean she’s a dumb broad. She’s a quick learner, remember? And, although, her mood seems rather impatient and satirical, Eiko is (almost) a Master in Silat, and is quite adaptable and all for playing a good game of charades when it comes down to a quick pro tempore acting gig to get a buck for a bounty. She is usually a good sport, after all.
Curious Her curiosity could either be a pro or a con, but she prefers to think of it as a positive characteristic. It seems like a decent trait to have when socializing, escaping from a tight situation, or treasure hunting. It kind of adds a similar seasoning like bravery or courage to her charm. As well, if she wasn’t curious, she’d have blown her brains out by now due to not particularly giving a damn about what was going to happen next — actually, that’s one of her over-used, running-inside jokes she keeps to herself, so don’t question her insanity too much.
Honest Even though Eiko comes off as hasty or superficial, she is a bit of a blunt truth seeker. To say she’ll never tell a lie would be a lie in itself. She’s a flawed creature just like the rest of ‘em. With that said, she thinks playing with sugar-coated bullshit seems like an inefficient waste of time, anyways. If you want her thoughts or reasoning, Eiko will beat the bush as many times as she deems necessary as opposed to skirting the issue or missing the mark. So yes, Eiko will tell it how it is (from her standpoint, ‘cause that’s probably the best she can do). However, if she truthfully needs to withhold information in exchange for something she can’t get any other way, she might just do so.
Weaknesses
Nosy She’s not just curious, but she is also nosy and has the tendency to ask inappropriate questions in a careless pursuit to know more about a person. She’s also fair game for pretending to listen to her headphones but actually be eavesdropping on a conversation. If they didn’t wanna be heard, why would they make it so easy for her to hear them? She wouldn’t go so far as to snoop through someone’s room, but that’s not to say she wouldn’t tinker given the golden opportunity.
Impatient Maybe if Eiko had more patience she would have actually mastered Silat or wouldn’t constantly try to pry personal information out of people, or something, but such is not the case. So, here she is on Absolute Magnitude, attempting to piece together everyone’s stories like she’ll never understand her own without knowing everything about everyone else, first. Likewise, Eiko can be rash or careless, and her curiosity does not always help to edge some of those brazen or cheeky impulses. So far, her recklessness hasn’t gotten herself killed, yet, but that fact alone isn’t saying much about any comrades.
Selfish Sure, Eiko is honest and wants to get to know everyone, and yes, she is even out there bounty hunting, capturing criminals for the good of society. However, at the end of the day, she’s really just doing it for herself, and if she ends up helping people along the way — hey, more power to her. Unfortunately, she’ll save herself before putting her neck on the line. She’s not actually trying to get herself killed; it’s the Adrenalin rush. So, if she does put her neck on the line, it was probably more for the Adrenalin of a calculated risk and low-key status report than the actual selfless, heroic act.
Offensive Operating munitions isn't necessarily the job for a defensive person. Although, deactivating could be defensive. However, in all seriousness, Eiko aims to kill not wound, and this little knack comes at a price along side of how honesty isn't always nice. So, Eiko's strong point really isn't particularly in polite manners or thinking. That's not how you get the job done. With that said, losing a wits battle has always been a peeve, so a gruff attitude can easily be unveiled to shield the intellectual blows. Oh yeah, the good sport thing -- it was for the most part. Unfortunately, her temperament or annoyed, careless attitude is definitely a present fixture on her face, which is not the most pleasant thing to have in close quarters. That's not to say she's always getting into fights -- just look at her general complacency, and besides, music is medicine for the soul. Why else would she be so addicted to her headphones? Plus, fighting with coworkers isn't really efficient, but sometimes, it's hard to bottle excess emotions. So, maybe a good sparring match to tame the flames?
