I have returned, but I am not super active. Mostly because I am not seeing too many interesting threads. Will only play in small group as big groups get messy real quick.

Bio
I am an almost 40 year old from California who enjoys all Nerdy things. I prefer a small group over 1x1. Into into any genre, but I prefer Fantasy or Urban Fantasy.
āLeave the Celebrating until AFTER weāve caught the target Landonā Sticks said authoritatively as she jumped back into action following the directions that Pendulum had given. She didnāt for an instant let team know that she had for the briefest of moments been worried.
Once again Sticks activated her Time Materia and placed Haste on herself. She found the speed exhilarating, as she ran past dumpsters and piles of trash. The ally wayās chaos was the last thing on her mind however. She had an overwhelming need to catch this target, almost as if it were an addiction. She pushed herself even harder.
Then she caught a motion up ahead of her. She was sure it was the target. In one breath she quickly reached down and un-holstered her Bastons, one in each hand. With another breath she reached out towards her Contain Materia. She had enough Mana to cast Tornado, but it would deplete the rest of her stores.
With a heavy sigh she decided to take the risk. Just as her Haste wore off, another wave of green light emanated from her as she cast Tornado at the moving target.
Sticks cursed loudly as it appeared that Logan wasnāt going to answer his com. She hoped he hadnāt gotten him self into trouble as he often did. It wasnāt as though he couldnāt handle himself but from time to time he charged body first into a situation; consequences be damned. She was working to curb his impulses but it was not easy to make a tiger change his stripes.
Her pace quickened and her eyes darted from place in search of that something out of the ordinary. Thatās when she noticed out of the corner of her eye a leg appearing from a window up above. The body to which the leg belonged followed only seconds later. Her eyes narrowed as she watched the form of a woman climb out onto a ledge and pull herself up onto the rooftop.
āPendulā¦ahhh.ā Sticks began to speak into her Com, but a blast of static erupted from the device. Something was up with the coms and Sticks hoped that Pendulum was working on it. She then returned her focus to the fleeing person. Sticks quickly reached under her suit jacket and gently touched the wood of her Bastons, which were holstered on her right hip. She took in a deep breath and reached out to take hold of power within her Time Materia. Suddenly a wave of green light and energy rippled out from her. Her heart raced with the exhilaration of it. She took off immediately, heading down the ally in the direction that she saw the woman go.The woman would eventually come down from the roof and Sticks would be there waiting.
Thatās when a loud voice boomed in her Com ear. It made her and Pendulum both curse loudly, though Sticks remained on course in her pursuit.
āGet out of that building as quickly as Possibleā¦.ā Pendulum yelled at Landon and then confirmed that the Hacker was indeed the woman escaping across the rooftop. For the moment the hacker had yet to realize she was being pursued, but Sticks growled in frustration as she had nearly lost the hacker twice.
Then a deafening explosion rocked the Residential District. Sticks came to a sudden stop when she realized where the explosion had originated.
āPendulum, what was that? Is everyone alright? Landon?ā she asked calmly touching the com in her ear. At that point her haste had worn off and she had lost the Hacker. She need to know her team was alright. If there was one thing she had learned from Jax, it had been never leave a team mate behind. āhey Iām not deadā came Landon's voice again. Which meant he had gotten himself into trouble. ā Anyone got eyes on the Hacker? Iām looking for some payback.ā
Sticks looked up to realize that what ever advance she had gained was now lost. ā Pendulum? Do you have a visual on the hacker? I was right behind but Iāve lost herā
Sticks sat alone in a seedy little dive bar nestled in amongst the many shops of Junonās Business District. Casually she leaned back against her chair, bringing the glass of her drink up to her lips for a sip. There were not many people in the dirty place, but she could hear their whispers. Not many people had dealings with the Turks and lived to tell about it. So, it was only natural for the general population to get a little nervous when several of them showed up. Sticks thought they should be nervous, what with all those AVALANCHE #$%^&*@! running around.
That was exactly why she had brought her team here. A suspected AVALANCHE member had been sighted just days before and she wanted to make sure they caught on to the trail before it went cold. It hadnāt been going well for her as of late and the higher-ups were getting all their panties in a bunch over it.
Sticks took another sip, confident that things would get handled sooner rather than later. Then her phone rang. She reached into the inside pocket of her jacket and pulled out a flip phone with her free hand.
āYes?ā Sticks answered and set down her drink. The call didnāt last long and she replied with an āOf course, mission understood.ā She quickly stood up from her table, reaching into her jacket again and throwing the Gil for the Drink on the table. As she turned to leave, she quickly dialed a new number on the phone.
āGear Up, we got a hacker to catch,ā She said with a wicked grin.
Now
The briefing had been short due to the fact that the terrorists had already begun their attack by the time Sticks had received the call. Her team now patrolled the streets looking for any signs of activity. However, she had set Pendulum, one of the youngest Turks, to finding the hacker remotely via the network. Pendulum was currently the best suited for that job and Sticks had placed her there hoping to see the girl succeed.
"This is an announcement for all Turks in the Junon Residential District. The hacker is attempting to deceive us by sending fake signals in varying locations. However, by doing so, the hacker has exposed themselves as being in the Junon Residential District as none of the signals have hit that area. Please investigate any suspicious buildings."
āThatāa girlā Sticks thought as she listened to Pendulum's announcement over the loudspeaker and then picked up her pace heading into the Residential District. As she walked she reached up and touched the small intercom in her right ear.
āKeep Digging Pendulum and shut them down.ā She said sternly believing that leading with a heavy hand got better results. She would reward the girl when she succeeded.
āLandon, whatās your 20?ā Sticks continued knowing that Landon had last been in that District. No answer.
Hair: Sticks has straight black hair, cut in an asymmetrical pixie style with the longer side usually covering her right eye.
Eyes: Her eyes are stunning Hazel that seems to appear green in the right light.
Physical Description: At first look, Sticks looks like any other Turk, but Sticks carries herself with a grace and class that many donāt. She is taller than average and has an athletic physique. She is not often seen out of her Turk Suit, often preferring to wear it even when off duty. She adds a little flare by always wearing a black and white Fedora. On the very rare occasion that she is forced to wear something more formal she prefers to wear a white blouse with a black pencil skirt. Unseen by many Sticks has several scars along her arms, legs, and back. She also has a tattoo of her Brother Kaiās name on the inside of her right wrist.
Personality: Sticks is quiet and reserved. She has a strongly-felt internal sense of duty, which leads her to have a serious air and the motivation to follow through on tasks. She is organized and methodical. She is very loyal, faithful, and dependable especially with her family. While she generally takes things very seriously, she can have an offbeat sense humor.
Background: Sticks is the middle child and only girl of two moderately wealthy parents. Her father held a high ranked position within the Shinra Electric Power Company, which afforded them the ability to live on the Upperplate of Midgar City. Her mother stayed home to care for her and her two brothers. Her father would pass away due to a heart attack away 6 years ago. It had always been her father dream to see each of his children take on a position in The Shinra Electric Power Company and in honoring his memory, all of them did. Her oldest brother, Hero, joined the Shinra Troops. However, due to an injury, he was discharged. He would then open a Dojo in Sector 6 and teach Sticks the Martial Arts of Arnis. Sticks then would be recruited by the Turks. Sticksā ruthless determination would quickly see her rise through the ranks to second in command. Her youngest brother, Kai, would go on to be Soldier 1st Class. Unfortunately, He would be killed just 2 years ago during an operation to take out a suspected AVALANCHE Cell. The same operation would also see the death of the Turk leader, Jax. Furious that she had lost both her brother and a colleague to the Terrorist group AVALANCHE, she was egger to pick up the Mantle of Leader. She has made a solemn vow to see the end of them by any means necessary.
Weapon: As her name suggests her weapons of choice are a pair of wooden āsticksā used in combination with martial arts.
