Umm...what else can I say about myself? I dunno. I'm part cyborg (my leg). That's kinda interesting, I guess. I'm a brony, but I honestly haven't followed anything having to do with FIM since, like, Season 3...ish. I like creepypastas...in fact, I have a couple in the works. And I'm in the process of writing an SCP. That's cool, right? That's what cool kids do? I like anime, video games,...uh, music...and...uh...stuff. *vague babbling*
@Turboshitter Shoot! I didn't think you'd actually call me out on that. I have the idea for one, but I'm not sure how she'd fit in to the organization. I'll write it up and submit it ASAP. And I'll check out the raptor harpies, too. I just saw that Black Harpy page and thought they looked cool.
I'm kinda new and I don't know all that many people yet...
EDIT: You know what? I might make Ashe a Raptor Harpy.
Name: Ashe Age: 20 Appearance: Nothing of note that’s too different from the picture, except she wears an orange monitoring bracelet on her right foot. It somewhat resembles the type of bracelet that one might use for tracking birds. The number ‘446’ is stenciled on the side in black. Gender: Female Blood type: AB- Birth date: April 5, 1995 Previous criminal record: Currently booked for numerous violations of the Interspecies Exchange Bill, specifically the articles pertaining to the the Interspecies Protection Act...on both sides. These records are pending expungement constituent in her full cooperation participating in the MON program. In other words, she's in a heap of trouble and on a short leash. Special skills:Black Harpy Physiology. Also, her wings are ruffled, like an owl's, allowing her to fly silently. She's an adept tracker and has taught herself to wield a variety of small weapons such as pistols and knives. She has an unsettling ability to be able to stay in one place and remain completely motionless. Psychological profile: Ashe’s basic psychological profile could be summed up in one word: kuudere. She always displays a cold, cynical, and sarcastic exterior, but once you get to know her, she’s actually a pretty decent person (alleged murders notwithstanding). She takes her work seriously, but with a hint of disinterest as if she’d rather be doing anything else. That being said, she’ll do whatever is necessary to complete any tasks given to her to the point of risking her own life. She also seems aware of herself and how off-putting she can be and seems to be entertained by other people’s discomfort around her. She likes anything dealing with the subject of horror, from scary movies and creepypastas to pulp comics and campfire stories. Medical health record: Like all Harpies, Ashe is subject to molting at certain times of the year, laying unfertilized eggs from time to time and, despite her general disinterest in sexual intercourse, she is known to be more "affectionate" during the Black Harpies' mating season, much like her sisters. Relationships: A human father (Kenta) and Black Harpy mother (Coale), as well as two sisters (Ember and Flammie, who are both contributing members of society). As stated before, unlike other Black Harpies, Ashe has shown a general disinterest in romantic relationships and sexual intercourse, and therefore has no significant other at this time. Miscellaneous
10:45pm, [REDACTED] Police Precinct in [REDACTED]
The Subject, Ashe, did not resist arrest when initially apprehended. She was found by local police as she was exiting the crime scene and possessed copious amount of the victim’s DNA (blood) on her exterior, as well as in her mouth (which was recovered via mouth swabbing). Some of her feathers have been placed into evidence. The Subject relinquished them without incident. After a brief interrogation, the Subject was turned over to Monster Ops, Ms. Smith for further questioning. The following is a transcript of the ensuing conversation between Ms. Smith (Smith) and the Subject (Ashe):
Smith: Hello there.
Ashe: Look, I already told your goon squad: I don’t know who gives me the assignments. They come in an unmarked manila envelope and only contain a picture, an address, and a time frame. I get my money about a day later.
Smith: Oh, them? They’re not with me. They’re just locals.
Ashe: So you are…?
Smith: (sits) I could be your ticket out of here. Let’s see how things go first, okay?
Ashe: I…I don’t follow.
Smith: Look. There’s a lot of paperwork involved with your case. You’re on the hook for a lot of murders…and not only that, but violations of the Extraspecies Protection Act to boot. You know who has to do all that processing?
Ashe: Temps?
Smith: (laughs) I wish! (hits table) No. Me. And, frankly, it’s late, I’m tired, and between you and me, I don’t really care about these so-called ‘victims’. Mostly enemies of The Night Parade, right? I don’t see any cops or shopkeepers here. Can’t collect money from a dead guy…
Ashe: Is there any point to this?
Smith: Thought you’d never ask. What do you know about MONster New Law?
Ashe: …I know they exist.
Smith: Good enough. Tell ya what: I have a new assignment, but not enough people to cover it. A quickie: Protection. I know, it’s kind of the polar opposite of your skillset, but If you can promise to be a good girl and fly straight…pun totally intended, I can maybe make these charges go away. I know you got family here…and it’d be a real shame if I had to break you guys up, right?
Ashe: … What do I have to do?
Smith: That’s that spirit! Show up here at 0900 hours tomorrow morning, which’ll be easy for you since you’ll be spending the night here anyway, and I’ll swing by to pick you up.

OOC: If this character doesn't work, I have a different version waiting in the wings. Pun totally intended, right? Yup.
@Turboshitter Okay, thanks for the consideration. I was going to have it that she's on the hook for a bunch of murders and she could get her record expunged if she is a "good girl" with the MONs. She would be on a short leash, in other words. Although, with their personality I was going to give her, she never had any personal interest in killing, she only did it for the money (which she would mostly send back to her family).
Evim was programmed to display a wide range of emotions based on her situation, and the company she keeps. That being said, she was programmed primarily with public relations in mind, so she is generally cheerful, kind, and friendly. When on-duty, she’ll typically follow “The Book”, and rarely deviates, although she is programmed with knowledge of deception tactics in case she would ever have to go undercover. She is also curious about the universe and loves learning new things, giving her an air of naiveté. She will do her best to stay empathetic and friendly, even in the face of danger; her main concern in a fight is protecting her allies.
Weaponry & Equipment Evim’s ocular sensors are capable of detecting energy signatures, as long as they are over a certain threshold. However, she can’t measure power levels. Her left hand detaches to reveal a number of different tools, including basic cutting tools, sockets, drivers, and even wires with which to interface with computer systems. Her feet contain small thrusters which she can use to fly, and theoretically, she could also use them as weapons if she overcharges them. Both of her hands contain small power cores that are capable of firing beams of energy that one might compare to a Ki blast.
Abilities & Techniques Evim is skilled enough to handle a variety of different weapons, if the data for them is in her database. She can fly under her own power with the aid of thrusters in her feet. She is a skilled in hand-to-hand combat as she was preloaded with data for several different fighting styles, her favorite styles involve being up close and personal with her foe. She is capable of Overclocking her systems in order to gain a boost in speed and power, if only for a limited time, and when things get desperate, she can Overcharge her reactor core and release the energy contained all at once, creating a powerful explosion in her vicinity, similar to Recoome’s Ultra Fighting Bomber. While neither of these techniques cause any serious damage to her or her systems, they prevent her from using her blaster attacks for a period of time.
Backstory Dr. Andop Zadra is one of the many Research Engineers in the ISF’s Blue Department. He is a kindly old Tuffle who, in all honesty, could’ve retired from the force, but he loves his work and fears that he’ll be bored to death without something to do. For all intents and purposes, he lives at the ISF’s Headquarters. In fact, he is old enough to have seen the ISF’s first combat-ready androids roll off the assembly line. Androids and A.I. have always been his field of expertise, and he was instrumental in creating a number of basic “meter maid” level androids for the ISF over the years, but he always sought to push himself and create the “perfect” android: something that could travel to the farthest reaches of unknown space to uphold Intergalactic law without constant monitoring from its superiors. Something that could think, feel, and make its own decisions. He believes that he’s finally achieved that with the creation of E-VI-M. (The fact that it appears female was entirely his preference.) When he caught wind of the impending operation against the Planet Trade Organization, he saw it as the perfect opportunity to give his beautiful creation the trial by fire that it deserved. “Make your father proud, Evim.”
@Billsomething No worries. I'm not a stickler for that sort of thing. I think that it's perfectly alright for a character's backstory (and personality, for that matter) to come out and develop during the roleplay.
In a word, you're Accepted! Add your CS to the Character tab.
Gosh, now I need to get started on that IC, don't I? I'll see what I can do this weekend. If anyone else wants to join, they can drop in.
Hitomi strode toward the school, appearing as if she were in a dream. Her eyes were closed as there was no point in her using them anyway, and her mouth was curled into a slight, seemingly content, smile. She weaved her way through the mass of people outside, and stepped into the hallway that would lead to her homeroom. She had rehearsed the steps in her head dozens of times, and with the help of her shadows to 'feel' the way for her, she made it into the room without any issues. When she got to the doorway, she stopped, as she could almost feel the energy coming form the inhabitants of the room. There were quite a few, Hikari and Kurai...and there was one especially powerful one toward what she assumed to be the front of the room. She inhaled sharply; she realized that she was in the presence of the headmaster himself! A powerful aura surrounded the figure, it could be no one else. She bowed her head toward him, not even sure that he'd seen her, then she took a seat near the front of the classroom.
She had heard much about the headmaster from her father, who had once studied at the academy. The headmaster was young, younger than Hitomi's father by a great deal. He was handsome, slow to anger, and quite skilled. She put her hands on the desk, and held them as she faced straight forward. Inside, she was almost giddy; she couldn't believe that she was in the presence of the headmaster. Would he be teaching them? That would be amazing, to learn from the very best!
Then, she heard him speak: “Give me your names while we wait for the others to arrive…”
This being the first time she ever heard him, she made absolutely certain that she would be able to recognize his voice at any given time. She let the words float in her mind for a good, long time. His voice was a bit shaky, which she thought was unusual for someone who, as her father put it, 'annihilated everyone in his path', but there was also some authority behind his words. Perhaps he just wasn't used to speaking in public?
She then heard him exhale, and the sound of a chair sliding on the floor, and a slight creak telling her that he had seated himself. It was at this point that she finally decided to speak:
"Headmaster. I am Hitomi Matsumoto. It is my sincerest pleasure to be in your presence."

Umm...what else can I say about myself? I dunno. I'm part cyborg (my leg). That's kinda interesting, I guess. I'm a brony, but I honestly haven't followed anything having to do with FIM since, like, Season 3...ish. I like creepypastas...in fact, I have a couple in the works. And I'm in the process of writing an SCP. That's cool, right? That's what cool kids do? I like anime, video games,...uh, music...and...uh...stuff. *vague babbling*
Oh! I'm on Steam! "Karl Kadaver"
