After Era Mythos

The Play/Tech Expo, a safe haven for nerds, a beacon for geeks everywhere, and Armada knew exactly how to draw the crowd. Several monitors were mounted around the booth, some showing off gameplay from Armada's latest stream while other giving showcases to the newest PC and accessories. Kids walking with their parents would stop to line up to watch their favorite streamer, eyes widening with excitement, whilst adult nerds stood in awe to the prowess displayed. Armada kept his eye on the kids, a smile sinking deep on his face, ecstatic to see that he was making am impact. Suddenly the best idea crawled it way into his cranium, forcing the streamer extraordinaire grab the nearest chair and hoist himself up on the nearest table at this booth.

"Come on, come all." Armada's voice boomed from the speakers strategically stationed around his both, "Am I happy to see you all, supporting a legend such as myself. I know see the gameplay and wonder why a legend such as I would dare grace you with his presence?"

The people watched intently to his every word. No matter how overconfident or cocky he spoke, it was like he had them entranced, his charisma oozing out, ensnaring them all like honey.

"See in reality, I wouldn't be here without all of you. You, my loyal Admirals, inspire everyday to go and do my best. Your hopes. Your dreams. All in my hands. I will always your best interest. And for those that aren't part of The Fleet, we welcome you with open arms. Come. Subscribe and join The Fleet. May you dream sail on peaceful seas. And please check out the new Scrapple 1080x graphic card at our booth, and use my tag ARMADA#1 for a discount."

The crowd had only grown larger as the technological hero spoke, for they followed him with little fealty. Everything he said was simple, so simple that any streamer could follow him and yet none could match his popularity. Did Armada believe anything he said? To be honest, it didn't matter for his loyal fans only cared that he spoke to them. For now, that adulation was all he needed to keep his place in the upper echelons of the hero food chain. His eyes trailed the showroom floor until it would meet one of the other heroes known as Ladyice, a devious smirk crossing his face. Suddenly a voice diverted his attention.

"Hey, Nerd."

"If ain't Casanova in the flesh."

The most genuine smile of the day was given to the one and only Jimmy Casanova, Armada's best friend.

After Era Mythos

@Taka
Right, so is his name Justin or Armada?

Anyways, there's no truly scientific method of getting to the giga-techno-wizardry that a Talent can accomplish. Rather than collaborating with scientists and engineers to create gear, he'd have actually be collaborating with artists and people from marketing to design props that look like sci-fi gadgets. After that, they'd basically be working overtime to make sure that the public believes those props to be worthwhile, before they become functional as actual gadgets.

Also.

There are no terrorists. Do not use any word that contains 'terror', because those words do not exist in the dictionary.

In a similar vein, what is an Esports World Champion, if there is only the City? Cybernetics, like I explained for Psykers, also don't actually exist at a functional level yet, unless they are associated with an existing Talent.

@ERode

Justin is real name but Armada would be the public facing identity.

I can change the NPC to the marketing Lead Designer or something.

Well not terrorists then but still a group of baddies if that's fine? Id assume supervillains would be a prevalent thing if we got heroes.

As long as people compete, world champion will be the title even if its not encompassing the world.

So I guess cybernetics would just be associated with him then? In the "public believes I have powers so I have powers" kind of way.

Armada the Technological Marvel

The King of Speed-running. The Master of the No Scope. The 3-time EVOLUTION Fighting Game Champion. Armada is a true genius behind the keyboard, not only winning multiple championships, but also having stopped UNKNOWN from taking over Neo-Astraea through the most sophisticated hacking job in history. It is said that technology speaks to him, lending to credence that he helped create some of the high-tech computers within Neo-Astraea. A true genius, Armada stands as the master of cybernetics bar none.

Cleverness, Intellect

Justin, The Technological Marvel

Write maybe a couple paragraphs or so describing who they are outside of their Stage Persona. Think of it as a mixture of personality and history. Just make sure to give me their real name, as well as how they got picked up by the Agency.

From the day that Justin started his gaming channel, the path to stardom opened up to him. At the tender age of 21, he has become of the biggest streamers in Neo-Astraea, garnering fans on a level that many dream of due his wit, sarcasm, and gaming talents. Joining with Team RESPAWN came three years prior, scouted due to his ability connect with his audience, but there was something more to Justin that interested the agency. His ability to break down the games down their simplest pixel, to the lowest frame showed a level of intelligence that Team RESPAWN were searching for, joining a select few others to chosen to represent the Agency.

True greatness would come during Justin's debut as a hero. In the shadows of the labs that the agency ran, the young hero had been working alongside scientists and engineers to create gear that would match his style. The debut of that new technology would come when during a technology expo where Justin would go on to show the world that he was more than just a gamer. Showing off came second nature, fighting against terrorists while also spewing one liners. Justin knew he was better than these criminals and he flaunted it. The residents of Neo-Astraea got to see the hero known as Armada show why subscribing to him was worth it.

For Justin, he had finally achieved his dream that he wished for since the day he started gaming, to be a hero.

Agency: Team RESPAWN is one of the hottest and most valuable video game companies in the industry.

_{P e r s o n a l i t y}
Fundamentally detatched from comfort, the nihilistic mien of Itabashi is rooted to his twisted view of the shinobi world, ugly and menial, like his estranged father.

Itabashi charades under a stern and perfectionist nature, bluntstrung to hard facts than sweet words. Although frequently described as harsh to people, he is well meaning for the sake of ones betterment and welfare, something that he personally stress with emotion. Another facet to him is that when pressured, he's quick to show range of emotions, from rage to serenity.

Just like any tattered jeans, Itabashi suffers from inferiority complex, he masks it with superiority complex, having great disdain towards people without talent or not living up to their potential. He tries his best for the minorities to make them like ironed denims with a sense of fashion, he will pledge his fidelity to those deserving. Sharing the glory while pride is quelled, only then he warms up from his cold stature.

Itabashi acknowledges the supernatural existence of beings like those of the Yōkai and the constituency of the Ninshū Church, but refuses to worship said religion, believing that the Sage of Six Paths has failed us, mankind.

Perfection}

Itabashi summarized his life as a series of perfecting perfection, he will not rest until perfection is found.

Born between the union of Hatake Ikuto and Hatake Futaba, Itabashi is their second child and firstborn son, next to their daughter, his sibling and elder sister, Hatake Mikan. Everything was fine for his family until he found out the bitter truth, that his father was a failure like Konoha's White Fang, Hatake Sakumo. His father chose to be a Farmer instead of continuing being a Shinobi, after the Konoha Civil War.

Although he's a blood relative to Kakashi and by an extension of direct ties, his Uncle helped divert his attention from his family problems and focused making building his own life. Kakashi was a big part of his life, particularly his childhood, this all came crashing, when Pain destroyed Konoha and killed Kakashi. Only his bestfriend, Uchiha Ria is whom he can safely confide to, though unfortunate that they weren't on the same Team.

In the Genin Days, Sasuke wasn't particularly a sweet teacher, precisely strict and an authoritative figure, his teammates, Satomi and Miko has passed 4/10 times on the Bell Exercise. Itabashi was often singled out and had remedial with Sasuke and his wife, Sakura, given his troubles were with chakra control. Sasuke referred Iatabashi to Sai, in the ANBU'S Team Ro, participating in the Assassin Squad.

Sensing

Sasuke taught Itabashi, what's considered forbidden since the freedom of the Uzumaki from slavery, this makes Kagura Shingan, a Kinjutsu to outsiders.

Kagura Shingan, an Uzumaki Exclusive Sensory Jutsu that Sasuke based of from Karin. Unlike the original, Sasuke's customized version kept only what he believed useful without the Sharingan. Abilities granted by the customized Kagura Shingan is perceiving motion within a kilometer and identifying ones behavioral patterns via an electromagnetic field.

This version of the Jutsu is weaker from the original, lacking the abilities to tell chakra affinities, wider target focus, range and if that someone is a liar.

Sasuke Style

Itabashi is taught both the Sasuke Style: Lightning Flicker and Sasuke's very own Taijutsu Form, Sasuke Style Taijutsu, together, Itabashi is clad in lightning while matching ones movements like a shadow, adapting to ones fighting style by incorporating it to his repertoire.

Kris

N a m e

“One day I'll escape what I was destined for.”

image

Name
Kristopher Thomson

Age
19

Gender
Male

Company
Grummer Orbital Systems

Personality
In his own words, Kris is an emotional person who is incapable of letting go of past traumas. This nature and his naivety make him little more than a blank canvas, particularly when it comes to his father. It is also this fiery spirit that makes him extraordinarily sincere despite his overall animosity towards his family. It is due to his sincerity that he is able to take massive risks for others and even compromise his own personal comfort for the benefit of others — particularly his reputation.

History
Kris's life was never interesting as he was born a year after the Kepler was constructed. From the day he was born, he was lived upon the Kepler, his father barely able to stand being around him. At his youngest, he could recall his father calling him unwanted and it has stuck with him ever since. Living in space meant a life where Kris never got to be a child, he was always kept confined to stay out of the way of the workers. His own family, consisting of his mother, father, uncle, and two siblings (an older brother and sister), were never close in any regard. Kris had to learn on his own for the most part, his traumas following him as he got older.

Upon hitting 18, Kris was expected to join Grummer like the rest of his family, his father having constantly beat them into shape to eventually work alongside him. This was their birthright and he would not have his petulant children lag behind, particularly his youngest. Kris found a hard time socializing with others, forcing himself to learn to love his new work as a security detail. Maybe one day he'd come to appreciate everything his father sacrificed for him or maybe the universe would give him a different outlook.

@Taka: I asked for you to heavily discuss it with me to hash out any details, and you never really did.

I wanted to see you actually write up the backstory before you moved forward with anything approaching this idea, because it's crucial to actually make it make sense with already-established characters and Fanilly's character and backstory as well.

This, too, you never really did.

There was a reason I wanted this, so I could look at what you had in mind and detail and tell you what did or didn't work, especially since he would be one of multiple characters involved in Fanilly's training. One of her trainers already exists in the RP, so you'd need to be coordinated with that to work.

There's also stuff here you didn't mention to me, which is why I wanted you to give me a more completed bio to look at and talk about.

@VitaVitaAR

I...agree. That's why I didn't do that backstory yet. I wanted to ask first. I only posted what I had completed to show that I had something unlike the last time we talked. I had planned to message after work which just so happens to be now. So that I had the okay to still make the backstory or else I'd just write something different.

are you sure that will end well for you

@The Otter

I don't why you being snarky to me when I haven't done anything to you or anyone. I'm compliant with needing to change and any changes from my last conversation with the GM.
