Riiiight, I'm back guys! I'm really sorry I didn't inform anyone of my absenses over the past few days, but I literally cut my right eye ball and I couldn't see properly. But I'm better noooow.
William looked at the dripping stains on the roof. It was odd, seeing it as it was, especially because of the Floor they were on was nowhere near the ascending peak of the Apartment Complex. It was a strange sight, and he kept his eye on it, notifying his Partner. Jason Ludwig, a former Military-Operator now turned Police. The two weren't like the standard stereotypical Partners against crime, and to be sure, they weren't far from different to one another. Jason was a tall lad as well, slightly more bulky and having battered features from the Office Complex incident that William's hand had suffered a fateful end in. The two had been struggling since that incident, as many of the survivors did. Speaking of many, there weren't too many left after that. Forty sent in during the Full-Raid, and only Nine returned. It seemed horrifying for the news, but in reality it was nothing but a nightmare to the involved personnel. It was known as one of the largest defeats in Recent Police Records, being flashed and frowned upon by the media as if it were only to be an easy task. Many consequences followed the defeat, which were then dealt with by such groups higher than the 4th's SCTO Operators.
Now, the two were sat in a stall-like beverage stand adjacent to a Noodle and Soup Bar, a Film Shop on the other side. They had been through a lot, that day, having dealt with numerous petty thefts and arrests that were enough to make an honest man tired. And so, now they were drinking. It was their time off, a time to call quits on their daily duties. Whereas they were still advised to be Armed, only William was the one who'd carry a weapon. The Standard sidearm listed in the Personnel Hand-guide, it was more for safety of the Officer themselves than to ensure the danger of any criminals. Having still been in the more Formal Inspection Uniform, a long trench-coat and under layers, William and Jason were prone to the petty thieves or citizen harassment. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary. For generations, many had criticized the roles of those Enforcing Law and have, if not physically, verbally risen against those within its structure. For William and Jason alike, it was just another day at the office. The two watched the screen, talking about the most recent of attacks.
"Pfft...they seem to be speaking rather loud-mouthed about our work..." Jason had always been a man against media, their ideas of spreading news and causing rumours were enough to damage an entire community within a city. At least that was his opinion.
"Well, just let them stop these Terrorists. And besides, they talk to against us when we aren't usually the one's put to use against them."
"It's Bullshit, I know! We haven't gone against a Terrorist Plot for at least 2 months now, and only criminal organisations are the greatest busts we can be provided with. It's all about these Groups that are taking over the roles, and apparently not having the numbers to fulfil their promise. Maybe if we were there to help, we'd have less of a problem." William grinned at the concern of his partner.
"So, what...are we better than whatever Groups are out there? Tell that to the Turnover Veterans..."
"No, if you were to listen to me, you Smart-Arse fuck, then you'd realise that I'm trying to hint about support. Every gun and handcuff is useful and makes a difference in whatever situation, and the more we have, the better transportation response times we can set loose! Think of how better off we'd be if cooperation existed between these high forces. It's not like we are just standard Police Officers, y'know?" William nodded. Well at least the day following this one was to be a grand adventure, if not life-threatening. With the discovery of Trip's Cult, a local band of murderers, there was something interesting hopefully about to go down...if they weren't to be interrupted by the upcoming terrors of the night.
Appearance William isn't special. Tall, standing at 6' 2", and not giving too much brawn to show off, he's more of a simple man than a show-off cybernetic attention seeker. Having a dark-brown shade of hair, following the same shading as his facial stubble and brows, he still holds the fairly young and able looks that he should do. His eyes are of an Emerald Green tone, and his hair is short, yet ruffled into a somewhat formal presentation. His body figure seems like the average person, not muscular in any extreme measures and only having small amounts of boasting looks to prove when competition sets afoot. He bares a slightly toned skin shade, due to Mars' bright lightings compared to the dullish countryside of his birthplace. As of Cybernetics, he only has one Civilian Grade enhancement, refusing military gear, for his Left hand.
As for clothing, equipment and looks on and off duty, William is pretty standard. Off duty, it's the simple clothing that's usually trending on the Simple Lives, rather than the High Wealth that bustles around from time to time. On Duty, it's a bit more complex. There are three Uniforms within his department. Formal, Patrol and Field, as they are so nicknamed. Formal [As portrayed in the image above], consists of a trench-coat, usually smartened up for the occasions he is involved in. Underneath is usually smartened up Inspection Uniform, usually given out to those who hold some small levels of authority over the newest of personnel. For the Patrol Uniform, it's a part of the standard City's Patrol Uniform. Due to the increase of Uprisings and Protests, the gear has seen more protective adjustments to suit the safety of the Officer wearing the attire. Field-Uniform is a part of the Unit's Raised Threat Responses Group, where they become more advanced and updated with the Modernised Mars Technology. To suit the Smarter, Inspection Uniform, usually a SH-3LRP is the Primary armament, however, it acts as the Secondary for the Patrol Uniform, having a HC-AR204C to replace its role. It acts as a Close-Quarters to Low-Mid Ranged Combat armament, and provides good coverage for most situations in the tight city-streets if the time needed is close. For Field-Work, the Similar Side-arm is accompanied by a much more adaptable SAR-20 Designated Assault and Marksman Rifle, known for its two variants that More Advanced Units carry, switching between the two depending on the situation [These are separate weapons, variants, and cannot be changed on the fly.]
Biography Growing up on Mars wasn't as hard as some might imagine. His Father had won the lottery, bringing the spouse and current child with them on the trip to the Red-Wonder. Originating from the remote and rural areas of Scotland, just in sight of the Metropolis and Urban technologies that laid within the Cities, William's Father Henry had quite an exciting idea. The Family had been saving up tonnes of money to simply make a better living, spending huge amounts of periods to prepare for a complete change in lifestyle. Lucky for them, the free-of-charge journey helped with Homesteading in the Mars Urbanisation. Having William as their second child, they began to run their lives as small citizens, taking up simple jobs.
After time passed, Henry changed career paths for the Law Enforcement Forces, who were requesting more Personnel regarding to a increase in Criminal Behaviour in the Lower-City areas. Seeing his Father from that perspective, William idolised him as a hero during his time growing up, inevitably leading to the path he had chosen to take. From the instant he hit 17 years of age, Will set himself up into a space in the all infamous Police Training Facility located in a Tower known as the Needle. Operating as a trainee for 2 Years, he eventually had scored himself a place within its ranks. From the Starting age of 19, starting his placement in the 4th Multi-Task Detachment, he had been on the far lighter patrols. The old uniforms that were usually worn were of much lower protection, looking a lot like older-world uniforms, and having their own three Uniform Styles, whereas they have now changed overtime. When Law Enforcement began to create special Task-Forces, such as the infamous Section 8, Nomad 12 and the now Disbanded Turn-Over Force, the 4th Multi-Task Detachment began to step-up their own uses. Being a Multiple-Tasking Force within the Law's ranks, they were able to have different Specified Operations Groups be permitted into their lines, allowing them to be far more mobile and effective against Criminal and Mass-Citizen Threats.
This Branch of the City's Enforcement, now branched out to multiple cities and base plates Planet-side, is known for it's involvement in most Higher and Lower Grade Criminal Apprehensions. When local Ministers for the Defences of Civilisation homed within the Government discussed the upgrade of Military and Police Groups, the 4th MTD was selected amongst the two from Law Enforcing sides, the other being the 9th Patrol Unit. Whereas the 9th was upgraded into a First-Response Unit for Vehicular Pursuits and House-Raids, the 4th MTD was changed in a much wider length. It was given 5 more floors to the Needle's structure, being upgraded into different uses for different branches.
The Standard Uniforms were drastically changed, ideal to its role of peace-keeping on the violent streets. A Small Aerial Group were slotted into the ranks, acting as a Transportation and Information Gathering Support for the next group. Apart from the standard Unit that was used in the slightly more larger tasks, an Armoured Police Force was created, simply know as Cairo-3. Cairo-3 was to be a more elite force within the 4th MTD, being used for much larger Operations and Apprehensions. One notable concept of their status is that they are not constantly operational, and are mainly used for Operations that the Higher-Grading Special Forces weren't assigned for. Usually that meant Human, or minor cybernetic, terrorism and criminal organisation was their target, the much larger Cybernetic end of the table being left for those trained to combat the criminal activity. However, Cairo-4 has been known for occasionally taking part in certain operations, one's that were perhaps less Military-Focused. Cairo-4 is mostly made up of the Surviving members of Turn-Over Force, which is 7 Personnel. These are the elected NCOs and COs for the group, ranking above the lower-graded Operatives. However, the slightly-larger majority of the Force is made from 1/10th of the 4th MTD, William being amongst those plans. According to records, there are big plans in the step-up for this unit, as well as them being a big target for some of the more drastic masterminds.
William was elected amongst his Experience within the Force for those involved in Cairo-4. It didn't mean he became a super-soldier, or anything. He was still a simple Police-Officer, trained only with the extension of Tactical Operations. Cairo-4 was a Specified Operations Task-Force, primarily made to handle multiple situations in different environments, with different scenarios, tactics and combat methods to ensure the safety of those within Mars' cities. They aren't often seen in Public, and when they are they aren't specifically recognised, though are known to the Public briefly. They aren't secretive, and that's all William needed. Due to its non-constant service, and only holding times of activation when threats were arisen, William could continue his normal life as it was, as well as continue his service as a Peace-Keeping Officer. However, as time grew, so did threats. With the huge involvement of Cybernetic Terrorism and Crime, Special-Forces of the Military and Law background began to find themselves preoccupied vastly. Cairo-4 were called to assist Hotel Indigo, a Law Force trained to specifically combat Cybernetic Crime, as controversial as some saw it. During a Raid on a small office complex for a successful Cardiac-Cybernet Company, an excessive use of Military Grade body-explosives lead to the loss of his left hand, being peppered with shrapnel before losing its socket in his wrist. That happening two years prior to current times, he's only been supplied with a Civilian Grade replacement, him denying any military versions. It acts just as a replacement hand, rather than improving what it once did. Currently, William is still serving both sides, having small leadership amongst his comrades. Cairo-4 and the 4th MTD, however, are close to finding themselves involved in some of the more big-field cases...

@EWilldenHere's mine. I know I put a rather larger amount of writing into mine, and I did go ahead and create a lot of things that you most likely didn't, but I was wondering if this is okay?
