Ashes Pave The Road Ahead [Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic]

Name: Marie Eyler

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Race: Sub-Mutant.

Appearance:

A curvaceous young woman, with a decent amount of muscle and padding.Marie’s pale flesh is criss-crossed with scars and burns, and her face itself bares several grizzly war-wounds from days gone by. She has track marks up her arms from past flings with the needle, and her eyes are permanently tinged with a bloodshot-like glassiness. Her left eyes has a glowing blue iris, hinting at its mechanical nature.

Personality: Sly and sarcastic, Marie tries never to take herself too seriously, and has learnt not to rush through life. Like so many others who walk the road paved by ashes, Marie’s harsh upbringing has desensitised her to the world around. By 21st Century 1st world Standards she would be considered an anti-hero, bordering on a villain, but in her current circumstances she’s just another lowlife trying to get by.

History: Marie grew up amongst a band of scavengers and junkers, working out of the great copper wastes. The refugees came from all walks of life, but were united by their desperate circumstances and need to survive. Marie’s people established trade routes with some Kahrenvel’s many Prospector Guilds, supplying scrap metal and salvage at horrendously discounted prices in return for safety and protection.

Whilst the majority of the scavengers were able to swallow their pride and look the other way whenever raiders came to steal their earnings, Marie was quite the hot-head, and quickly grew sick of being pushed around.

When Marie tried to stand up to the raiders they shot her in the side of the head, before dumping her out in the badlands; leaving her to bleed out amidst the sprawling wastes of scrap.

Against all odds, Marie’s dying husk was happened upon by a cult of tech-savvy thrill-seekers from the D.I.T, who scooped her up and patched her back up; regrowing the left side of her face, and replacing her destroyed optic with an augmented mechanical eye.

Marie’s next few years were a blur of drugs and pain. She became the favorite plaything of her captors; who would pump her body full of narcotics, before using her to placate whatever desire needed tending to. Eventually, the young girl became far too weak and disfigured for the cult, who were quick to spit her back out into the wastes of Kahrenvel.

Succumbing to the experimental radioactive drugs that coursed through her veins, Marie began to mutate, becoming less human with each passing day. Whilst not a full-fledged mutant, Marie’s irradiated state was enough to earn her a spot in the Mutant Kingdoms, amidst the Bloodspitter Clan.

Full of hate and rage, Marie excelled within the Clan, becoming one of their most prized scouts. Despite her new prominence, the young woman always felt out of place amidst her near-animalistic clansmen, and it wasn’t long before she stowed away in the night; taking a sizeable load of weapons and supplies with her.

Marie happened upon the settlement of Nod; a safe haven for mutants and humans alike, although a crime-ridden one at that. Marie put her tracking skills to good use, and has set herself us a Private Investigator, working out of a small office within the dank and grimy streets of the dark city.

@rivaan Etna is accepted. Feel free to move her over to the cs tab.

@Nevix I like what you've got so far, but could you expand it a bit more? Maybe add some more personality and backstory?

@Flagg Looks very promising. Can't wait to see the more fleshed out version!

@wispered Taryn's story seems very tragic. I love it! Chuck her CS in the tab whenever suits.

Ashes Pave The Road Ahead [Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic]

Okey now that THAT is done, I will slowly work on the finishign touches... but first I must create my character after that I will make the CSs for the people of importance and search for pictures and stuff to add ^_^.

@rivaan

Many thanks!

@BreakingMe

No one from the UK High Court has come to arrest me thus far.

BRB someone's at the door.

Ashes Pave The Road Ahead [Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic]

This is my bad for forgetting, but, in regards to future submissions, every person of importance for a faction needs their own Character Sheet to be filled out.

@Kingfisher There we go, I hope this works :3

My Hider

Faction Name: Blades of the Shining Sun( Also nicknamed Angels of Salvation by some)

Location: Whereabouts if your faction situated? Provide some background to the area. The headquarters of the Blades is located within one of the many skyscrapers that dot the landscape of Kahrenvel. It is within the borders of the Federal Union, but it’s exact location is kept an extreme secret by it’s members. The skyscraper that houses it was once upon a time a laboratory that conducted experiments on genetics and cloning. Currently the building looks as much as a ruin like everything else around it, but that’s also what’s keeping it secret. Despite it’s appearance, the headquarters of the Blades has been turned into a fortress. There are countless traps scattered around all possible entries and the area is kept under constant surveillance. The elevators are kept disabled unless a member is present and even then the elevators are rarely allowed to reach the base floor. The stairways from level 25-30 have been destroyed along with most of the floors on those floors. So the only way to go pass that is to take the single left elevator that’s kept under highest watch. Above that point are positioned the bedrooms of the members, the training halls and so on up until the final floor where the laboratory is located.

Population size: 76 (40 active agents, 10 research staff, 10 caretakers, 15 children, 1 other)

History:The Blades of the Shining Sun was started from a single woman, an assassin only known as Sil. In her day she was among the promising members of the The Screaming Star Cabal. She ruthless assassin capable of great efficiency and ingenuity when the need called for those. It was never about that she accepted the cabal’s acts or rituals, she was simply born into it, trained from a child to be, but a weapon for someone else. During her task she met a younger woman. He was a researcher who studied the ruins of the ancient cities to find lost technology to help mankind. Sil fell in love with the charming girl, with her visionary dream of a better world. She ran away with the researcher, but eventually they were tracked down and killed. At least that’s what their attackers believed. Sil survived and managed to flee to an ancient laboratory she found with her lover. With her body already dying from her wounds, she used the still surviving equipment at the place to clone herself. It took a few years before the clone was mature, but it really happened. When her copy emerged from the clone tank, it had all her memories, her feelings. In that day Sil died… by her own hand as she left behind all the resources of the laboratory and her knowledge to her new self. At that moment the Blades of the Shining Sun was started with one single goal, to eradicate The Screaming Star Cabal.
With the passing years the number of the clones grew each offering something new to the organization as their genes were always slightly altered with each new member. Some were stronger, some were faster, some were better at the work of mind. Even their appearances were slightly varied though they were clearly closely related. For that reason most agents who leave on missions carry masks so they can conceal that fact. Still the initial accelerated growth was abandoned for those clones would often soon suffer major health problems. So when they were sure they had enough members for a while they switched to normal growth and even used members of the Blades to carry the children.
With the organization in place and the members present the Blades began fighting the cabal at every corner they can. Saving innocents from the Cabal, interfering with assassinations, warning possible targets, disrupting rituals and kill key figures that were allied and helping the Cabal.

People of Importance:
ETA-01: The original clone of Sil, now an old woman with failing health. She holds high place among the Blades. She is the leader and despite her age, she still runs the entire operation. She if often considered as mother or grandmother by many of the younger blades.
Eclipsa: The current top Blade in active duty. Most of the highest ranked missions go to her along with the most dangerous ones. Her distinct mark are her jet black eyes. Rarely seen at HQ.
Jane: The current leader of the research team of the Blades. Responsible for running and maintaining all weapons and especially the cloning and genetics chambers.
Matrona: Former top Blade and current head caretaker of the Blades. Hers is the responsibility to look after the children and supervise their education and training. Is still considered to be among the strongest Blades.

@rivaan

Accepted! If you could just space it out so its not all bunched up (and is a bit easier to read), and have a quick brush over a view grammatical hiccups, then you're free to add the Blades to the CS tab.

The Headmaster

Civilian name: Zaiden Moore

Alias: Evening Star

Gender: Male

Age: 32

Class taught: Headmaster of Blackwood

Villain

Civilian looks:

Costume:

Zaiden’s suit is crafted from a highly durable liquid armour, which solidifies upon command, bestowing him with immense ballistic protection. The suit is highly maneuverable, and its hyper-advanced head set grants Zaiden superior night vision, and an on-board communicator.

Powers: Genius Intellect.

Skills: Zaiden is a highly trained marksman, with an expert understanding of multiple firearms. His body is in peak physical condition, and he is an apt swordsman.

Personality: Witty and charming, Zaiden has quite the air of sophistication about him. Beneath his smiley exterior, he is cold and ruthless, with a sadistic side which knows no limits. His primary motivator is a combination of intellectual curiosity, and his own massive ego.

Bio: Zaiden Moore was born to William Moore, the CEO of Eden International; the largest Private Military contractors in the world. By age 6, Zaiden had earned a grade 8 commendation for his mastery of the piano. He graduated high school at age 9, and by 13 he had graduated from Columbia University with a major in English Literature.

Zaiden was hired for a paid internship at Eden International, before being promoted to Chief Technology Officer within a matter of months.The young boy’s intellect was unmatched, and the innovative weapons and armours which he helped developed sold for billions.

Zaiden was 17 when super (or ‘meta) humans became known to the public, and was quick to establish his own subsidiary company of Eden, specialising in anti-Meta Human warfare. The soldiers that the young genius supplied were specially trained in how to apprehend superhuman threats, and were equipped with state-of-the-art technology which allowed them to go toe-to-toe with uniquely gifted individuals.

Whilst Zaiden’s public image was one of abhorrence towards superhumans, he was secretly fascinated with them, and used hidden underground labs to conduct twisted experiments on the superhumans that he captured; trying to figure out what separated them from non-powered humans on a scientific level.

One of the workers in Zaiden’s lab leaked classified files to the public domain, and the young man was quickly arrested amidst a wave of public outrage. His father disowned him, and Zaiden was thrown into a maximum security facility.

It was whilst he was behind bars that Zaiden met Benat Hernandez; leader of the infamous Blood Gulf Cartel. The two orchestrated a mass prison riot together, and assumed control of the facility. From there, Benant led Zaiden back to mexico, where he made him a lieutenant inside the organization. The young man spent his time pulling off massively elaborate schemes, and making huge amounts of cash for the cartel, whilst destroying their competition in the process. Ziaden eventually usurped Bernat, and had him dismembered and hung from a bridge.

Zaiden used his vast wealth to construct several front companies, before establishing Brightwater Technologies, under the alias of ‘John Brightwater’.

Brightwater Technologies became one of the world’s leading manufacturers of domestic, leisurely, and military devices; with a mass of factories sweeping across the globe. Zaiden was quick to buy up Eden International, and begin developing his own private army.

With access to limitless wealth, and a vast horde of trained killers, it was then that Zaiden assumed the identity of Evening Star, and set his mind on a single goal…

World Domination.

The so called “Cracked Halo” terrorist cell committed countless atrocities under Evening Star’s command, until they were eventually overwhelmed by graduates of River City Academy.

In an act of spite, Zaiden established Blackwood School and has set about rebuilding his dark army.

@Kingfisher say You wouldn't happen to mind if I set up a counter assassination organization kind of? Like one that really dislikes The Screaming Star Cabal ? Maybe something along the lines of organization that tries to get rid of those cursed evil assassins? xD

@rivaan

I'd have to see your CS before I pass any judgments, but I'm happy for you to present the idea!

Academy of Heroes & Academy of Villains

Ashes Pave The Road Ahead [Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic]

Woo! I'm off to the zoo for some art today, but I'll get at a CS when I get home this afternoon. Debating whether to make a faction or not.

@wispered

Awesome sauce!

You can always align your character with one of the already existing ones, if ya want.
