I'm not asking you to forgive me. I'll never understand or forgive myself. And if I die, so help me, I'll laugh at myself for being an idiot. There's one thing I do know and that is that I love you.

~Katherine Saunders~

Played by YoshiSkittlez




"I'm not one of those people who thinks they simply deserve success. I have the drive to work."
~ Katherine Saunders.




Name: Katherine Riley Saunders
Nicknames: Kate, Katie
Gender: Female
Age: 22

Occupation: Student in Robopsychology and Mechanics
District: 4 (Born)

Height: 5'10"
Weight: 123 lbs

Appearance:


Personality:
Kate is exceptionally introverted, having never truly developed social skills as a child. She was always working on projects on her own, never a 'child' but always a braniac, rendering her 'weird' to her fellow classmates. Even as an adult when sitting in on the most important of seminars, she takes no part in the hectic discussion periods that follow. She keeps up the front of a frosty girl, plain and colorless, who protects herself against a world she dislikes by a mask-like expression and a hypertrophy of intellect. Though on the inside, she does indeed feel the stirrings of a cold enthusiasm.

Often times, she is approached for her professional opinion on robots and is repeatedly asked, "Are robots so different from men?" in which she always replies, "Worlds different. Robots are essentially decent." To those who don't know her personally, her misanthropy seems largely unexplained however those whom have known her for a long period of time or have worked with her before know that her attitudes are rather well-founded.

She is a small woman, but there is a towering strength in her face. Tensile strength, that speaks to endurance, to maintaining in the imperfect world. Her mouth is thin, and her face pale. Grace lives in her features, and intelligence; but she is not an attractive woman. She is not one of those women who in later years it can be said of them, 'She must have been a beauty when she was younger.' Kate is simply plain but makes up for it with her powerful personality.

Biography:
Katherine, or Kate as she prefers to be called, was born and raised in the fourth district with a very comfortable life. She had good parents, a great childhood as an only child, a stable home, and a bright future. As a child, Kate’s imagination and prowess seemed to know no bounds. At first her teachers were rather worried about her intangible ability to ‘think outside the box’ at such an early age, but they later began to embrace it as she got older and joined clubs like the spelling bee or science club and continually brought home the blue ribbon for her school.

All through the rest of her school days, Kate remained ‘stuck’ to the science club, earning the interest of many different colleges as just a Sophomore to join their science department. At 16, Kate wrote her first of many papers on robotics, a Physics-1 paper entitled 'Practical Aspects of Robotics'. This was after attending a Psycho-Math seminar within District 0 in which she received a personal invitation from the Governor himself to attend as his guest. Despite the wishes of the colleges and interest from District 0, Kate remained as ‘normal’ as she could and continued her education, graduating with the rest of her class where the selection of schools were waiting for her - full ride.

Kate’s main area of study and experience resides in cybernetics, learning to construct positronic brains that responds to given stimuli that can be accurately predicted. She only has half a term left before graduating with her bachelors, but already District 0 has a job lined up for her as the first ever robopsychologist where she would be permitted to continue to study for her PhD.

When not working on school projects, Kate works on more personal ones. She has a few prototypes of her own design within her home which proved to work better than a security system since she was broken into shortly before her cousin came to move in with her. The ‘prototype’ had successfully stuck the robber with a sleep dart, rendering him completely unconscious until Kate was able to call the cops after getting an alert on her phone about the break-in. Since her cousin has moved in, however, there have been a few accidents of a 'mistaken intruder' which she has currently been working on to fix.

Other:
While perceived as a 'boring' type of girl, Kate does enjoy her scotch after a long day, though as expected, she has never had any sort of romantic relationship with anyone and doesn't appear to be interested in changing that any time soon despite her mother's badgerings.

~Deon Saunders~

Played by YoshiSkittlez




"If you're gonna be the best, you have to take out the best."
~ Deon Alexander.




Name: Deon Desmond Saunders
Nickname: Darth
Gender: Male
Age: 24

Occupation: Cage Fighter at The Spit
District: 4 (by invitation)

Height: 5’11”
Weight: 168 lbs

Appearance:



Personality:
Firstly, Deon is incredibly conceited and self-centered. His only priority is himself which he often-times refers to as "number one." He is incredibly boastful and cocky and appears to believe himself invincible. He will stop at nothing to prove himself better than the rest in whatever he can, and when losing, he somehow twists his words to make himself the Victor in one way or another. He doesn't know how to lose.

When fighting, whether it be verbal or physical, he is extremely cut-throat and merciless. Though he has never (on record) taken a life, his reputation of landing many people in the hospital for months at a time has instilled fear in others for facing the proverbial beast. It has been noted by many that a certain fire takes place in his eyes when he has had a victory, standing over the fallen where he could easily end their life, as though his minds eye is deciding whether or not to just do it. This fire, coupled with a twisted, smug smile on his face is a thirst for physical harming that he simply gets drunk off of, and had become addicted to. In many people's opinions, it is only a matter of time before he does kill, and steer clear of him in the ring to keep from being his first.

He holds no remorse for those he injures while fighting and on more than one occasion has attacked with a more powerful purpose than to simply injure or knock unconscious. It is said that Deon holds a certain, animalistic rage when he fights which has kept him champion for years running, even when he was outmatched. He laughs at his pain, showing no weakness and many times others have often wondered if he is even human.

His hardened exterior can be chipped away, though, when a woman or two come into play, as he is a bit of a womanizer and has a pretty high sexual drive. He will, however, never put a woman on too high of a priority level, especially when his reputation is on the line of being a "bad boy."

When enticed, he can be quite charming and ever the smooth-talker. This, along with his bad boy nature, for some reason, always manages to have a handful of girls out for his attention and hanging off his arm.

Biography:
Deon was the first born to Riley Saunders in the low levels of District 17. She was only seventeen herself but somehow, she managed to raise him on her own (the father mysteriously absent since conception and never, ever talked about) until Riley met another man who stepped in as Deon's step-father at the age of 4. Two years later, and Riley had another child, a girl this time and Deon's step-sister that he grew incredibly close to.

Just as life seemed that it could be manageable in District 17, Deon's step-father was killed when returning home from work by a small-time gang that really wanted his wallet. Unable to make ends meet for her two, young children, Deon took it upon himself to drop out of school and find employment to help his mother out. This robbed him completely of any childhood he might have had left, becoming a man years before puberty even hit.

At first Deon was just a messenger boy, delivering secret messages to organization members in the lower districts that were more than a bit sketchy, but he knew better than to ask questions. The pay was poor and he was lucky if he didn’t get beaten or molested by his boss on a daily basis, even if he delivered on time and didn't warrant any punishment. As Deon entered his teen years, however, he left the job as a messenger boy and started working in a slaughter house, butchering up the livestock into fresh meat for his district to purchase at ridiculous prices.

Deon quickly grew desensitized to animal life and the longer he remained working at the slaughter house, the more creative he would get in just how to kill the livestock before butchering; even going as far as "not noticing" the animal wasn't completely dead before butchering it up. After just a few years, he grew bored of killing animals however, and when he was 18 he got a job fighting in the ring at a local bar for entertainment purposes. It was probably illegal, the things he was doing and allowed to do. But nobody really cared what went on in District 17 anymore. He found that fighting others was something he enjoyed, even if a bit too much.

Now known somewhat famously throughout the district and certainly bringing in more customers during the night, he earned a comfortable amount of money to provide for both his mamma and sister. But once again, just as things were starting to look up (even having saved up enough to buy his family's way into District 12), his whole world came crashing down in a way that would forever change his life.

Coming home from work one night after a very successful victory, Deon found the house to be incredibly quiet on the outside. The door was kicked in, the front windows shattered, and immediately he knew something was wrong. Upon investigation, he found his mamma and sister dead in his mamma's bed, stabbed maliciously, strangled, beaten, tortured, even possibly raped. Their bodies were still warm, his mother's arms wrapping protectively around his step-sister's body as though she were trying to shield her but to no avail.

Deon didn't stick around long, however. If the bodies were still warm, that meant their killer wasn't too far away. He bolted from the house and followed his heart, finding a man nearly a foot taller than him running with a bloodied knife. Outraged, Deon took the man, concealed by the shadows, down and let his emotions get the best of him. It was a terrible mistake. He was sloppy, and the man had Deon on his back within seconds. With the same bloodied knife used to kill his family, the criminal sliced through the skin of Deon's head, starting at the tip of his brow and dragged the blade as far to the back of his head he could go, aiming to scalp Deon all the way around. The criminal was forced to stop, however, as the flashing lights of a police car scared him off. Too weak to pursue, Deon forced himself up and managed to slip away to lick his (emotional) wounds and learn from his mistakes. He refused to seek treatment for the injury, deeming it a physical reminder for him to remember forever.

Unable to bear their memories any longer, Deon used up what money he had left after their respected funerals and moved up from district 17 to district 4 with his younger cousin who had to go through a whole slew of paperwork to make the move legal. It almost didn't even work, but the brain-power and tenacity of his cousin eventually won in the end. Even with the new promise of a better life, Deon couldn't help but to accept a job offer in Zone Beta as a cage fighter for The Spit. The commute doesn't bother Deon much and he has the credentials to travel between zones. He can't help but to feel grateful to get out of the "rich" neighborhood once in a while. The life of his cousin just simply wasn't the life for him.

Deon has lived in District 4 for nearly a year now, but the emotional wound that Deon carries is still as heavy as the day he found his family murdered in their own home.

Other:
Deon is an avid smoker and never passes up an opportunity to get drunk off his ass even when expected to fight that day. He has a whole slew of connections to the harder drugs which he will often-times deal and even use when his body isn't up to par for a fight. He is amply known to sell drugs to women for sexual favors instead of money since he has plenty of it already.

Reserved for Character Sheet easy links :)
Hey guys! Sorry for the really weird dry period these last few weeks. I've had some adjusting to do. Anyway, I got a bit tonight to work on the character page AND will probably be getting the first post up. Characters that have already been approved will be going up so if you're character is there, you may post. Any characters you are still working on, let me know :) I'm so very excited to finally get this going again!
@Gonzo it's amazing to see how much we have changed (improved) in the last few years



Xerxes Arvanitis


Location:Sky Lakes Medical Center.
Interacting With: Magnus Bane (@BlackPanther) and Leo Kwon (@December).





Xerxes' dark, brown eyes stared the Druid down, as he was the first one to speak. He scoffed, his body weight shifting from one leg to the other. Now was not the time to discuss his current temperament towards the man who stood before him. Thankfully, the other interjected and came across much more pleasant than the first.

The boy introduced himself as Leo. The name, much like his face, rung familiar, but it wasn't until he explained that he was a friend of Zoé's that things began to slowly click into place. He was one of them - a supernatural - a witch. And despite how things had gone the night previous, they still wanted to help and truthfully, Xerxes couldn't deny them that. He was no Alpha, and Zoé had so much on her plate already. Though it did strike him odd that they came to him, specifically, for something that an Alpha would generally have a say in. If it hadn't been for the hours-long conversation he had with Zoé, he might have thought better to say nothing at all, but there had been something tickling the back of his mind ever since the children were all rushed into the hospital.

Pushing his feelings towards the Druid aside, Xerxes physically relaxed his body, his hand raising to rub his temple for some temporary stress relief as he began to explain what was on his mind.

"The media is going to want their hands all over this mess. The less they know, the better. I don't know what staff members saw what last night, but I'm sure things are looking a bit weird. They may have said something... I need you guys to make sure that the only facts that reach the news is that only two required hospitalization while the rest only received minor injuries and were released. The kids were attacked by a wild animal on their camping trip because they forgot to put away their food, which drew the animal to them. If you can, push the focus away from it being a wolf attack and instead maybe sway it towards a wild cat or cougar. It was a minor error on their part that could have been avoided had they practiced safe camping rules."

Xerxes paused, trying to think if there was anything else he needed to add, but it escaped him. Leo seemed to be capable enough - he got a good vibe off of the boy. He was sure that if faced with anything else, he would be more than able to deal with it.

"The kids are fine." he then explained, answering Magnus' previous question. "Syleste required a bit of surgery last night, but she will recover fully here in the next few days and will be released. She and the other Siren are being seen only by myself to avoid any further spread of sensitive information. My daughter and a few of their friends are with them now. If you want, you can come check up on them later this afternoon when the room won't be so crowded."
@Atrophy just one lady, haha. I'm not THAT good ;)
Hey guys, sorry for the delay I've been kind of preoccupied the last few days. I'm hoping to get up a Xerxes post maybe tomorrow night after work.
Hey guys! Sorry I haven't gotten the character thread up yet... I've been kinda busy and probably will be tonight too (freaking women XD I'm totally just kidding. Don't kill me!)

@Atrophy I like this. I like this a lot. I love the lore you created that fits so well into this world. You have been accepted!

@Stitches Absolutely fantastic! Hope to hear from you guys soon!
@Archangel89 nice work! I see him fitting in very Well! I'm going to be making up the character page soon, maybe tomorrow since I've got a hot date after work tonight (*eyebrow wiggle*). But don't worry about getting characters across, I will do it :)
