Eden: Human Revolt

There are two time lines in the universe. The one we know and live in, and an alternate yet parallel universe where history takes a different path. We refer to this alternate universe as Eden. A hell beyond your wildest imaginations and a place our kind should never ever explore...

The year is 2346. A time of great change. It is the age of mechanical augmentations. Humans are beginning to extend their knowledge into scientific research which allows any human to upgrade their bodies in any way they see fit. A new line of infantry has been bred and Humans are now beginning to rely on technology now more than ever before.

Even in today, 2346 we cannot begin to compete with the advancements of Eden. Eden sounds truly perfect. The ultimate utopia, the true garden of Eden...The people of Eden have come to love science, whilst we still continue to destroy our planet with what scientific research we have to offer. Our planet is dying and there is nothing we can do about it. Our resources will have fully depleted within the next two years, and the world as we know it will become flooded in absolute anarchy.

Alas...all is not as it seems in Eden. In this alternate time line of events civil disobedience has become a daily problem in the streets of the new world. Governments are corrupt and hide behind proxy soldiers to do their bidding. A secret organisation who nobody truly knows hides amongst the public...ruling with an iron fist.

Mechanical Augmentations - Cybernetically Advanced Machinery (CAM) which allows the user to upgrade themselves in any way as they see fit but there is a price to exchange for this new way of life. Your humanity.

Civil Unrest has become an increasingly difficult problem in the new world. Some people don't like change, and those who don't get involved in riots and create problems for the new and corrupt government which they have to respond to, and the way they respond is by violence. It becomes a vicious circle as when one upriser is killed, two more take their place. Violence gives fuel to the civilians and they want a change. “Say no to augmentations”, “Destroy the corrupt Government”. These are the objectives and the words the population uses against the government known only as Omni-Tech.

The renaissance has heavily influenced Eden's culture. Renaissance style clothing is all the rage amongst the wealthy populace of Eden who choose not to get involved with the “scum of the earth” who create civil disobedience.

The year is 2346. A time of great change...the age of augmentations...

Creators Notes:
Hey everyone! I return to you with my newest idea!

This time round it is an invite only thread...sorry guys but I have expectations! This is my most ambitious idea yet!! One that was completely thought out myself without the help of taking ideas from games or movies!...Crystal Peaks was inspired by Alan Wake and Blood+...Paradise Lost was inspired by one of Lokuri's old role plays back in 2009 >_< I haven't seen a good Sci-Fi style role play knocking around the forums in a while so I thought I would come up with one myself, but in a completely different way...Anarchy...Social Status...Riots...you get the idea.

If I could fit this role play into a genre it will be an Action/Kick-***-athon!! With more emphasis on a story driven plot with interesting conspiracies that will melt your brain. This role play will also have an emphasis on action as well, not to the point where its just mindless action, but intelligent action. By this I mean that you only fight when you have to and you can avoid to have fights when necessary. It's a human revolt, meaning anarchy will be spread along the streets both day and night.

As you have read above, Eden is heavily influenced by the renaissance, this is how the came across human augmentations, because of Leonardo Da Vinci's work on the human anatomy of the Human Body. Renaissance style clothing is the rage amongst the fashion-trend followers and the “important people” as well as celebrities.

Okay...So without further due allow me to welcome you to the fictional world of Eden...Thanks for reading!! ^^
-------------------------------------------------------

Setting:
Eden: Human Revolt takes place in a fictional alternate world known as Eden during the year of 2346. The opening scenes begin in a city called New Eden, the capital city of the world and the centre of power and corruption...Civil Uprisings are beginning to escalate to the point where the government has to take action and send a new line of infantry soldiers to dissolve the riots before they get out of hand.

How you enter the story is up to you. Will you be one of the civilians in the uprising? Will you be one of the Soldiers that were sent to disperse the riots? It's up to you. I hope you have fun with this Sci-Fi Anarchy ruled setting and that this role play will last a lot longer than some of the others that I have created in my time haha.
-------------------------------------------------------

Role Play information:
This role play will take a different approach than other role plays...I will be implementing a time line feature which follows the events of our character as we advance through time, meaning, that Eden will take place over a number of years, not everything will be solved within a matter of days...that is unrealistic, I've also got a shocking ending in-store if we manage to finish the ending. I estimate that there will be around 6-7 chapters within this role play (doesn't mean it will be short) which then leads us onto our sequel in a very different setting (so don't worry if we don't finish this role play I will write the ending in the first post of the sequel...if people do want a sequel).
-------------------------------------------------------

Plot:
As you have already gathered Eden: Human Revolt takes place in the alternate universe of Eden during the mechanical augmentation age of 2346.

Humans are beginning to rely on mechanical upgrades to get the job done, but some people are repulsed by this new technology, causing disobedience where and when they can to get their voices heard. The government (Omni-Tech) responds by eliminating the threat and moving on with what secret goals they hold for themselves.

You will play your part in the changing of Eden. You will uncover a conspiracy which will lead you to openly wage war with Omni-Tech and uncover to the rest of the world how corrupt they really are.
-------------------------------------------------------

Time Line:
This will be the most important part of the opening post, not only serving as a numerically balanced list of events, it will also serve as a reminder of the events that have occurred during each of our character's progression. This means that all key events in our lives must be put in here!! It will also serve as a small summary to those who might have taken a week out from role playing because something came up ^^ .Any who I can't create it just yet...because...well our story hasn't started yet! Check back here from time to time to check new updates!!

Here's my character sheet...Do let your imaginations run wild with the augmentations it can be
over-the-top but not to the point where you are god like, it just helps keep it interesting and fun. You will be matched against enemies of the same calibre so make sure you make yourself at least
semi-hardcore...lol. You can still use weapons as well but you can describe them inside the role play. Your augmentations are basically your main weapons (It's so that people use their abilities more! Whenever people make great abilities in other Role Plays you actually rarely get to use them wouldn't you agree?!).


Name: Ashton Hayter

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Personality:
Ashton is highly intelligent for his age, surpassing in knowledge that most children would not obtain until the age of at least twenty. His IQ belongs to that of a highly intelligent young man which means he was unfit for public schools and had to be home schooled by a private professor from a young age. Not only does Ashton surpass in the areas of his mind, but in the areas of his physical capability as well. His father taught him the ways of close quarters combat (CQC) and learned different methods in taking down an opponent. Normally, Ashton's lifestyle consisted that of obtaining new knowledge and improving his physical fitness with little time to socialise with his friends or even time to rest. His body and mind have always been pushed to their limits, but no matter what, his spirit would not be broken and he would not seize to give up, like an untameable caged beast roaring for it's escape.

Ashton is highly optimistic, he seeks out the bright side of life and always tries to make the best out of a bad situation no matter how tough it is. He has been known to be a real surprise to those who know him, meaning, that when ever things seem to be insurmountable and the odds were against him he always found a way no matter what. He is the second son of one of the head families of New Eden, it is no surprise that he had grown into such an envious young man. Although Ashton is probably the smartest child in New Eden he tends to not use his brain most of the time unless he is forced to. He enjoys fooling around and sometimes in some situations he turns out to be the fool, this is why people tend to underestimate him and children his age would make fun of him until he showed his truly inspiring side. It is as if he has two personalities embedded within him, his normal foolish side, and then his other envious side. He has been known to be unpredictable and continues to surprise those most closest to him, who still to this point still manage to underestimate him.

There is a deeper reason as to why he is continually underestimated, to everyone around him Ashton is still weak compared to his highly astonishing elder brother, Denton, who he tends to live in the shadow of. Ashton was rarely paid any attention as his brother always tended to steal the spotlight, this led to Ashton trying his hardest to excel in each and every single thing he does, until he surpasses the greatness of his brother.

Occupation: Home Schooled. Upper Class.

Augmentations:

Primary Augmentations:

Avenger's Might:
Avenger's Might is a prototype left arm augmentation that utilises the ability to sprout a blade from the users left arm. It was created originally by Ashton's father as a gift to Denton who would kill him before he would get a chance to offer it to him. This Augmentation is evenly matched against Denton's “Achille's Sword” augmentation, they are the only two in existence which utilise the ability to silently kill their prey. Avenger's Might, however has one downside. The metal is not as durable as Denton's Augmentation meaning that it can break easier than Denton's over prolonged use in battle and the blade tends to become dull and needs to be sharpened. The augmentation however has an upgrade which can evenly match against Denton's. The blade has an alternate feature which allows Ashton to charge electrical charges through the blade like lightning. This lightning like feature disables Augmentation's and shocks the opponent upon connection. The downside to this ability however is that it can only be used five times during the Augmentation's life span, and after that it can no longer be used.

Lion's Pride:
Lion's pride is an Augmentation specially made for Ashton himself rather than his brother. It was a gift from his Father on his Eighth Birthday for doing so well in CQC. Lion's Pride is an Augmentation that suits it's name well. They are leg Augmentations which improves the user's reflexes and moving speed. It also improves the users kicking power. The augmentation has the power to allow Ashton to shatter any Humans spine in one swift kick it is that dangerous. It matches evenly with Denton's leg Augmentation's although it doesn't have the power to allow Ashton to jump at incredible heights like Denton's Augmentation.

Secondary Augmentations:

Inner Wisdom V1.2:
Inner Wisdom is a state of the art nano augmentation (meaning no external limb replacements). Inner wisdom is all the rage amongst the upper class of New Eden. It is basically a mind implant which allows the user to almost have a telepathic ability, allowing them to somewhat see three seconds into the future and see things which aren't supposed to be there. Although the user can see three seconds into the future the future is always changing. Only predictable things can be noticed and the implant can sometimes dysfunction and affect the user's mind, meaning that the user may at some irregular periods become witness to intense migraines which may become extremely unbearable to the user, other symptoms include bleeding of the brain, and blood to slowly trickle out of the user's orifices such as the nose, ears and mouth. It is still only in testing-stages and it is potentially more lethal to the user than the benefits gained from the implant...but this implant was not Ashton's choice...

Avenger's Cloak:
Avenger's cloak is a similar prototype augmentation to Denton's Chameleon, but rather than allowing the user to disguise themselves as an opponent, this Augmentation allows the user to become invisible to the untrained eye. This Augmentation already has the advantages of being able to use it whenever needed and not having to kill and enemy to take their disguise. However this augmentation does have it's downsides as well. The cloak disappears in exactly 2 minutes and 52 seconds upon activation and the user can be seen if moving quickly. The cloak disables if rain manages to touch the cloak and causes a small electrical shock to the user.

History:
Hayter. Anybody that is somebody know's that name. The very name that would burden Ashton from the beginning of his life to up until the very end. Ashton Hayter was born into one of the Head Families of New Eden which meant everybody had high expectations of him from the day he was born. He was highly ridiculed by anybody not associated with his family as they were either jealous or were one of the opposing Head Families. There are seven Head Families in New Eden aptly named “The Seven”. Their names are Fujimoto, Elric, Roberto, Shepherd, West, Marlowe and Hayter. Each and every one of them opposed each other fighting against conflicting beliefs and ideas on how the city of New Eden should be run. You could think of them like the official council of New Eden, and each family is a party (farag0n I swear to god if your thinking of a party where you drink...).

((More details about the families shall be uncovered during the role play, it's part of the story I have lined up, and boy is it good. I was going to introduce the families after the role play started, but I might as well have acknowledged them now, if anybody wants, they can be one of the families if you want...or were part of one. All I have to do is change the names of one of the families to your character's surname.))

On the outside you would think that Ashton led a luxurious life as he was born into a wealthy family, but on the inside his life was perhaps even more gruelling than the homeless that lived on the streets (Alfred Reference ) as, like I mentioned earlier, everybody had high expectations of him and thought of him to become even a greater man than his older brother Denton.

Ashton had already gone through fifteen different pre-schools within the first year of going to school, none of them meeting his father's standards because Ashton was years beyond the intelligence of the children his age. Eventually it came to the point where a private professor would home-school him meaning he would be locked away from society until he reached a ripe age of joining the family business of running the city. These home school sessions were everything out of the ordinary. They were not your run of the mill general studies such as English, Science and Maths, but rather lessons that would help evolve his brain in bizarre methods which required the use of super computers constantly monitoring and analysing his brain waves. This sort of education was too expensive to be introduced in public schools and would only be accessed by those who had the money to use it.

At the age of six Ashton would begin learning the ways of CQC, a fighting discipline which was created five generations ago by Ashton's Great (x5) Grandfather and passed down each generation to be taught to their sons meaning it is a fighting style that only the Hayter family line has come to grasp making it a lethal and unpredictable fighting discipline to outsiders. Ten years of continuous training made Ashton a formidable at such a young age. His training consisted of non-stop physical exercises and pushing the limits and boundaries of his body and mind. The training would destroy even the strongest of man's spirits as it was potentially a life-threatening training regime, but Ashton persevered just like every member of the Hayter family for the past five generations. Including his Brother. His brother however adapted his own new techniques to the already unrivalled fighting discipline which made him feared by even his own parents.

Ashton is loved by his mother and father highly although they continually push the limits to which he can take. They want to see him become stronger and stronger more so than his brother Denton and make the Hayter family name become more powerful than it ever has been. This was the curse of the Hayter family name to which Ashton was born into. Always pushing his mind and body far past their limits to the point where his muscles would tear and his bones would snap, but thanks to today's medical advances there was no fear of dying, but the average person would not have mastered the arts of the Hayter way (CQC).

I should begin explaining the turning point of Ashton's life, and the fall of the Hayter namesake. He had just turned fifteen years old. In the winter of 2345 Ashton was getting excited for Christmas. It was perhaps the only day, apart from his birthday where he would be able to relax and unwind, that was the perfect gift for Ashton and all he ever wanted, but this Christmas Ashton would be getting an unexpected early present. It was a usual frosty night and Ashton had just got into bed where he would recover from today's training injuries. He would get his usual kiss from his mother that would make him sleep easily through the night, little was he aware of the events that would take place soon after.

Ashton was awoken by an ear-piercing scream that echoed throughout the entire Hayter residence. He quickly got out of bed and readied his fists in case he should have to use them. Upon investigation the scream led Ashton to the meditation stage where the members of the Hayter family would reflect on past mistakes and look upon the future. Again the same ear-piercing scream alarmed Ashton as he was outside the sliding doors. His body froze in absolute terror. He could not get his body to move by his own will. The same scream echoed once more, this time fainter and more struggled.

Ashton began to smack his legs into forced movement and gripped the double-doors handles preparing to open them. Inhaling deeply Ashton threw open the sliding doors and lay witness to his loss. The dark room was lit only by a single framed window which highlighted his parent's and younger brother's deaths. Ashton cried out his parents names as he rushed to their sides, only to be acknowledged by his elder brother Denton. It was he that brought about the end to his parent's and younger brother's lives. With tears trickling down his face he asked him why he would do such a thing. Denton showed no emotion. He wiped the blood off of his Augmentation and replied “They told me to”.

Ashton feared his brother, he quickly turned around and made a desperate dash for the doors which he came through “Don't kill me!” he would scream through his tears. Just as he was about to leave he was met by the face of his brother once more. “Eventually” he said “I will come back for you” and with one swift slash Ashton joined the bloodied corpses which belonged to his mother, father, and younger brother.

((And yes, just like farag0n, I will give +rep to the person who makes the best character sheet!))

((Whoot! I've been invited! xD Now, without further hesitation, here is my character sheet!))

Character Sheet:

Name: Edward Mathius "Matilda"

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Personality: Edward Mathius, Matilda as known by mostly everyone that has ever even dabbled in "Illegal CAM". He is the product of his own decisions, in more ways than one.

I guess we should start with the basics, hmm, then I'll give the most important details first, he is a constant lyer, covering his tracks with made up fanfiction of thoughts or dreams that don't always enter the realm of normality, or possibilty. Though he's so d*** good at it, that you believe him! Second, he is a salesman through and through. This of course works in conjunction with his potency at lying, thus making you constantly second guess yourself on whether what he offers is good, or bad. Most cases bad, as seen by his sketchy work with his clientele. Third, and perhaps most important of all, he is dangerous, highly dangerous, combined with his constant mood swings, and random outbursts, make him very formidable. Very formidable indeed.

He is unstable, very unstable, not from a clinical disease, or from constant paranoia, no my friends, he chooses to be crazy. From his picky choices of food, down to the very fibers that make up his clothing, it's all because he chooses to be that way. Thus, he is very unpredictable, so much so that we have lost more men than we can count in our little CAM fued with him.

Finally, a little warning, and prayer. Keep a steady eye, a clear mind, and d***-it when you see him, pull the trigger!!!!

- Chief Masters, Briefing on Psychological State of Edward Mathius

Occupation: Illegal Distribution of CAM, Illegal Application of CAM, Lower Class (He resides in more lower class areas, though he does indeed make a bit of money from his "business".)

Augmentations: Matilda loves Augmentations, some for simple physical alterations, others for a more practical, and dangerous use. Listed below are the Applications Matilda has applied, and is in use of today.

Main Augmentation

Matt 3: Matt 3 is a simple body Aug that enables the wearer (Matilda) enhanced physical attributes, such as spped, strength, agility, durability and so on. The variety of upgrades this simple Aug provides are imense, but, when compared to Specialty Augs, that focus solely on a certain attribute, it comes up fairly short.

Augmentation Location: Matt 3 is applied directly to Matilda's Spinal Column, such a risky place to Upgrade, but nonetheless, it seems to have no affect on him whatsoever.

Additional Information: Matt 3 provides a stunning difference in Mathius' physique, his normal appearance being that of a scrawny, "wimpy" 23 year old male, to that of a larger, finely tuned 23 year old male. Note that it's not overly noticeable.

Mjolnir .5: Mjolnir .5 is a standard Aug, versatile, yet standard. Nothing overly dangerous about it, despite it being a high-powered motor function upgrade that greatly increases ones reaction time ten-fold. Instead of dodging your oncoming fist, he'll side-step it, grab it in mid-flight, and respond with a swift punch to the gut. Note that he uses it very expertly, advise against close combat, unless Upgraded with a similar Aug.

Augmentation Location: This Aug is applied particularly well, as seeing that it has delved beneath the skin, in a form of small "buzzers" that send nueral imulses, or reactions, to the proper body part, in a shortened amount of time. It blankets his body under the skin, and hasn't been damaged as of yet, no apparent effect is placed on Mathius.

Additional Information: None, except, watch yourself when combating him. He's a slippery bugger.

Secondary Augmentations

Anti-Tap 12: A strange, and fairly useless Aug that has only seen sales in the aristocratic bureaucrats that intend to keep themselves ready for business at all times. The Anti-Tap 12 is the last of it's line of Mental Health Augs, which succeeds in simply "washing" away the effects that a poison could have on the mind. Examples including Alchohol, various poisons, sleep-inducing drugs etc. It basically keeps you alert at all times, no matter what happens.

Augmentation Location: This Aug is located in the area surrounding the brain. It consists of three tiny perceptors that, well, do what is stated above. Wash away any negative effects of said things. Their actualy location inside the skull are unkonw, as we've never delved into the mystery as of yet.

Additional Information: Watch yourself at all times, no matter what sleeping gas you put him under, I guarantee he'll wake up from it, if he even fell asleep from it in the first place!

Keen Eye/Steady Hand 1: The first of it's kind in the newly developed Medical Line. Keen Eye/Steady Hand delivers the maximum use of both eyes, and enhanced control of ligaments and tendons. This Aug was originally intended to simply enhance the efficiency of Surgigcal Procedures, make one immune to mistakes, thus, Mathius has adopted it for more, devious uses.

Augmentation Location: Behind the Optic Nerve, and located in Dominant Arm (Right in Mathius' Case). The visual upgrade is enough to focus your vision, while the Arm Aug increases proficiency. The two due work seperately, meaning destroying one doesn't effect the other, though they both work better when used in conjunction.

Additional Information: None

Appearance:

EDIT: Simply Ignore the multiple Tubes extending from his body.

EDIT: Things you can't notice in the picture. He is caucasian, has black hair with tinges of light blue edging it. And finally, well, I guess there really isn't anymore I can describe without blabbing on and on, so yeah. The picture tells all o_O.

((I didn't feel like typing out a description, and plus, this picture is really good, and it perfectly captures that strange, dark, look that I percieve my character as.))

History:

Matilda, or err, Mathius, led a, hmm, colorful life. He was raised by a Mr. and Mrs. Jacob and Mary (respectively) Mathius, each of whom led a fairly independent life from each other, preferring to not get in one anothers way. The only true reason they stayed together was in fact their only son, Edward, who they didn't want to be left on the street, or in some orphanage. Thus, they struggled through it, together, or seperately. Outside of watching Edward, the two rarely saw each other, and rarely spoke to one another.

Thus, Edward here led a fairly strange life, being raised by his mother from morning to nightfall, and then by his father from nightfall to morning. Our Edward here didn't seem to catch on until later in life, age eleven, or so the parents say. At least, he didn't start asking questions until then. Obviously, when asking where "Daddy was" or where "Mommy was" they simply stated a simple "don't ask questions" or "at work". Thus, Edward led a fairly strange life, full of questions that never were answered.

It wasn't until the age of 13 that Edward, now truly curious about the events between his mother and father, found them arguing, or not truly arguing, more discussing. Discussing the fate of their only child, whom they had lived with each other, sort of, for the past of 13 years. Much Edward's horror, they agreed on the simple fact that, "he can live on his own". Thus, leaving Edward on the streets with a small bit of money, and little food.

Thus began Edward's descent into crime, now reckon he wasn't a thief, no no no, he would work. Just outside the law. His job, running CAM, all over the area. From ferrying it to an upper class doctor, intent on increasing his physique, without the cost of regular CAM upgrades, to a low paid businessman, intent on proving something. He did it all, ran it all, and was good at it. It's how he lived, how he survived.

At the age of 21, Edward began his descent into the underbellies, the Illegal Application of CAM. His new calling, he applied, more than once, and now does the same to people who, pay the right price. It's how he lives, how he survives. It's just what he does.

((There, it's done. The history will most likely be added to later, so check up if you feel like it.))

(( Mwa hah! It is just plain obvious that I was invited.. . No no no I'm honored and all that. Here's mah little bum ))

Character Sheet!

Name: Alfred Archibald Adams
I pity the man
Age: 44, living on the streets is rough and you can plainly see it from Alfred. He looks a lot older than he actually is.

Gender: Male

Personality:
On the days of his youth Alfred was everyone's most loved drinking buddy who always had the most amazing stories to share. Today he's everyone's most hated drinking buddy who always keeps sharing his age old stories.

I would be lying if I'd say Alfred isn't bitter. He is bitter, has and will always be. Although underneath all that bitterness lies a golden, yet untouched soul-.. now that's bullsh*t. Alfred doesn't mean harm to people, but he sure throws around mean words. Perhaps it is his way of making sure no one becomes all *mushy-mushy*.

In a tough world, you have to be tough in order to survive. That's what Alfred keeps telling to everyone, meaning all those people who care to throw some spare change for him.

Occupation: Alfred is a lower class homeless. (( My god that sounds so depressing ))
You know this could be a breakthrough, don't you?
Augmentations: Does a poor bum like Alfred have augmentations? Yes he does.
But can he handle them? I doubt it
Origin of the Steam Punch Mark II:
Ten years ago, when Alfred was 34, a wild bear attacked his right arm. Alfred was foolish enough to steal the bear's honey, you can figure out the rest. His right arm was badly injured and only by augmentation would it "work" again. Of course the augmentation cost a lot of money, Alfred didn't have enough so the money was taken from his belongings. Mainly inside the house which he called "home" at that time. The augmentation cost more because a fake skin was put on top of the augmented arm.

The augmentation was supposed to be a simple procedure where the shreds of the real arm were given support by the metallic augmentation parts. However instead of a normal procedure, a certain feature was installed into the arm. An ability to "charge" it. What this charging meant was that the arm would let off steam first and then it could easily punch through a wall or two. The reason for this kind of augmentation was revealed to Alfred only later. (( Explained in the history ))

Origin of Booster v1.0:
On a happy afternoon two years after the bear incident, Alfred found himself in trouble again. This time, a madman with a thing for cannibalism started chewing Alfred's right leg while he was sleeping. The cannibal had used anesthetic on Alfred so he wouldn't wake up. The anesthetic didn't affect his augmented arm however. As if the arm had it's own consciousness, it started charging up before releasing a blow hard enough to crackle the skull of a human. The cannibal flew through a wall and was never seen again.

Once Alfred woke up, he found himself again on a hospital bed. Now his right leg felt different than usual. The leg had been augmented the same way his arm had been, but not with the same ability though. His right leg had been augmented with a rocket booster. This would enable him to cause unnecessary burn injury on himself if he would dare to try it. For Alfred(or anyone) it was a completely useless augmentation but hell, it was free.. Not. Alfred was neck deep in debt, and the debt only increased as the bill from the augmentation was handed to him.

Origin of Competent Listener v2.1:
Competent Listener is the only secondary augmentation Alfred has. His left ear drum was badly damaged right from the start. Alfred's mother accidentally dropped Alfred on the floor and at the same time his father, Abraham, turned the stereos on.
The damage caused by the two affected Alfred's hearing a lot. His parents were quick to take some loan in order to repair their child's hearing.

Thanks to the augmentation Alfred's hearing is excellent, super-human like. If someone is whispering on the other side of the street, Alfred is sure to hear it. This of course brings a whole lot of bad sides too, main part being a constant nerve-racking noise caused from pretty much anything. Alfred himself doesn't know that he has this augmentation although he has his doubts.
He seems to already possess an augmentation. I wonder if it'll affect our experiment?
Appearance:

(( Pic from deviantART ))

History: Alfred's life has been written in chapters. There aren't many, but they are all the more important.

Chapter I - Baby Alfred
This chapter is blank. It is completely unnecessary for you to read. It consists of nothing that could help you better understand Alfred. I would like for you to stop reading this now and move on to Chapter II. It is a much more likeable chapter than this one. I mean, who cares about baby Alfred? No one cares about Alfred now that he's 44. How on Earth, I mean Eden, could anyone care that Alfred had a nice childhood? Oops, looks like I told something I was not supposed to tell. This chapter will not have anything else to offer you, I promise you. I'm serious. Look away. Alfred's mother is still alive! Can you believe it?

Chapter II - Alfred, Alfred and Alfred
Now begins the real history of Alfred Archibald Adams. His father's name was Abraham and he was a patriotic "soldier" to the end. Sadly his life ended prematurely because of an outbreak. Alfred's father was working in Omni-Tech, a place where Alfred would also work eventually. In his father's footsteps, or so they all said. Alfred had a different opinion about the world, he didn't find Omni-Tech to be a "good guy". Instead he was claiming quite the opposite.

Alfred moved away from his mother's care when he reached the age of 20. He would become a successful businessman in this chaotic world. He knew it was possible, and he wanted to make it a reality. Taking the bull by the horns, Alfred jumped right into the jungle they called stock market. There he would first learn from the pros, before trying his own luck. Alfred was actually a smart man, somehow he was able to calculate the right timing whenever to sell or buy shares.
After all his mother has gone through, that is quite amazing to hear
Chapter III - Born under the unlucky stars
Alfred was becoming rather wealthy just by using the stock market as an endless resource for money. Alfred was now 30, and life couldn't be better for him. On yet another pretty day, Alfred met a woman who he fell in love with. Alfred married the woman and the couple lived together happily for a while. Two years later, this same woman "stole" half of Alfred's fortune when their marriage hit the dirt.

Refusing to submit to his bad luck, Alfred started to invest to the stock market again. However he had lost the touch he once had. Now he only kept losing the more he invested. It was a hellish cycle, exactly the same kind you had with gambling. The finishing touch was dealt to Alfred when the stock market crashed. That was when Alfred finally gave up with the stock market, it was time for him to move on. However an unfortunate event with a bear and a certain cannibal caused Alfred's life to be thrown literally into a garbage bin.
You really think he'll come without a struggle?
Chapter IV - Hobo on the run
Alfred was now homeless, he had nothing and he lived on nothing. How could life treat so harshly a man who had done nothing wrong? Alfred didn't ponder on it, he just accepted it. That was when his past tried to catch up with him.
He has to, it's his only choice
Two scientists from Omni-Tech came to Alfred. They told him why he was given these certain abilities. They revealed that Alfred was no more than a meager test subject, which the Omni-Tech wanted back. With those two augmentations they had experimented if Alfred could handle them. The augmentations were very harsh on the body and multiple subjects had died because of all the stress. As far as they had observed, Alfred was doing well. Now they wanted to inject more augmentations into him, morphing him more into a cyborg rather than a human.

You can quite guess that those scientists didn't make back to their headquarters. A fake wanted poster about Alfred was published soon after that. The poster claimed that Alfred was mentally unbalanced and a violent individual. The wanted poster also claimed Alfred had already killed people, it was funny since it was the only thing true about the poster.

Now Alfred hides among the streets. He has grown himself a thick beard and keeps switching places in order to be less recognizable.
It was idiotic to trust those two to handle Alfred. What the hell were you thinking? Deal with this problem, pronto!

I'm sure you'll find them!
There are some things you can't see just by looking ))

((OOC: What's next? A rich Emo who is named Morte. No, she isn't Emo, but she is a bit obsessed about death.
As a side note, I laughed like crazy when I saw the picture you used for your character, farag0n. xD ))

Character Sheets:


Name: Morte (More-tay; Japanese pronunciation ) Sullivan

Age: 14

Gender: Female

Occupation: Pupil/Upper Class

Personality:
There are two sides to Morte, just like there are two sides to a coin. One is her destructive nature, which lead her to many attempts of suicide. This side holds no compassion for strangers or those she feels are utterly hopeless. They could all die or rot in the growing anarchy for all she cares. In her mind, those that are not deemed to be by her side are nonexistant, beings that will soon fade away with time. On the other hand, her heart treasures those who can pierce through its bitter, cold surface. Two examples would be her parents, who saved her from ending her life many times. Seeing their desperate acts to stay alive and keep her alive as well caused her to keep walking down the path of life until death was ready to claim her. All in all, her world only consists of those dear to her and nothing more. However, studying has become a habit of hers, to the point where Morte will give someone a chance to become her ally before erasing them completely from her mind. The latter has brought troubling situations upon Morte, for she has forgotten important people due to her "loss of memory".

Appearance:

~by Ugly-baka-girl from deviantart.net (One of many beautiful pictures <3 )
(( I'm not adding any worded descriptions unless it needs to be stated. <3 ))

Augmentations:
Morte has only two Augmentations, but they break down into Default and Talent. Default is how the Augmentation was designed to be used, while Talent is a skill attached to the Augmentation that performs a unique ability designated only to that Augmentation. Both Augmentations can be activated manually by saying its name.

Alis - A silver line can be seen running directly underneath Morte's armpits down to her waist and the parts of her arms that face in that direction when pressed upon her body, barely noticeable behind all the clothing she wears. This is the Augmentation for Alis, a device of sorts that connects to Morte's mind and is activated automatically when a particular alert within her brain goes off (in order to prevent her from danger such as falls from relatively high places); it can be activated manually by saying its name. Its default trait is that of silver wings that can expand or decrease in length depending on where Morte's arms are positioned. The wings are light, built to glide on the wind easily as well as stay afloat so long as Morte can breathe easily (so, mountains are a no-no).

Alis's Talent is flying into the air and diving at the enemy at immense speed, kind of like an angry bird headbutting its prey. While Alis can act as a homing device if the opponent tries to run away with inhuman speed, there are two downsides. One is using something to block, actually stopping her with inhuman strength, or putting someone else in front of you, at which the Talent will stop immediately before harming the outsider. The second downside is the headache that follows, for Morte charges head-on with her arms held at 45 degree angles at her side; while the speed coats her head, it still cannot prevent damage from coming to it. If contact is made, the most that will happen is passing out from the pain (there is no way to actually die).

Levitas - Due to numerous injuries upon her feet, Morte had surgery that permantly removed her feet for that of mechanical ones. Instead of being heavy clunks of metal, though, they feel like regular feet and react with the rest of her body like real feet. However, they are just as silver as the lines formed from Alis, making it hard to pull off sandals without getting stares. Thus, Morte wears closed shoes all the time, mostly for her parents.

Levitas's Talent is that of creating "clones" of Morte that are nothing more than optical illusions. In other words, they can be easily exposed by their lack of shadows as well as having no physical form. They are simply mirror images that can either hide Morte amongst them or act as distractions. They are created by running really fast, thus leaving behind a trail of "clones". Interestingly, they have their own "will", allowing them to interact with others and merging their memories with Morte's. Sadly, they disappear if Morte gets hurt (it has to be significant damage, like running into a tree, instead of getting hit by an acorn or something) and are more like ghosts resembling Morte than clones.

History (1st PoV):

*** Morte's Eden ***

Unlike most people, I have no recollection of my real parents, nor do I wish to remember those that disposed of me so willingly. Actually, scratch that. There are a lot of children now-a-days that have no idea who their birth parents were, and if they do, the time they have with them will be short. It always is when you grow up in the chaos of Eden, but that isn't the point of why I am writing this, is it? My history. My earliest memory consisted of the dingy walls of a long forgotten orphanage, blurred faces of children that had also been abandoned by their family, and the sounds of screams so suffocatingly close that their dying notes of pain became the lullabies that I was forced to listen to as I fell asleep. Oh yeah, and that my name is Morte, harshly engraved in cursive ink on both of my wrists as if someone hoped Death would take me away if the needle could have only puncture at least one vein. Sadly, it didn't, and I had to endure living in the caged walls of that disgusting orphanage for six years. By then, I was already aware of the stupidity of those residing in Eden. I was raised around Death because of SCIENCE?! What a joke! If my suffering was caused by those around me, why couldn't they all burn in the dark pit they were digging and leave me alone?! Soon, I came to despise the world I lived in and was seconds away from meeting Death face to face when I heard knocking on my door...

I met Rios and Zuri for the first time at the orphanage, but I didn't go with them immediately. They were just "browsing", which I thought was suspicious at first. If they wanted a particular child, why would they come to a run-down place full of disturbed children? From what I heard, they were quite wealthy, but they couldn't have children. Why would they want to bring them into a life of death anyways? I wasn't the only one awaiting Death; everyone at the orphanage and even those involved in the war knew Death was far from a distant stranger. Oddly, they came back and chose me, since they found me...interesting. Even when I showed them my wrists and spoke so much of death, they still wanted me. So, I agreed, hoping to distance myself from war as much as possible, as well as science. At least one of my wishes were answered, but it just so happened that Rios and Zuri were fascinated by science. I found out about Augmentations from Rios, who surgically removed Zuri's hands for mechanical ones that could essentially "heal" wounds and diseases by stimulating the mind and body to react in some way or other. To be honest, I didn't listen to much of what he said about the process, but I realized I would have to grow up with those obsessed with science. The very thought of war knocking on the door of my new home drove me to my first attempt of suicide...which failed. Zuri was incidentally walking past my bedroom window when I jumped. She not only caught me, but healed any wounds I got immediately. The second time was just as unlucky, for a net was installed to catch me if I tried to jump again. It sucked that my only way of meeting Death was by window, since I was constantly watched everywhere else I went. I was also home schooled, and wasn't allowed out of the house...for obvious reasons.

Enough of death. Just so you know, I don't have an obsession over dying, especially when Rios made Augmentations designed especially to prevent me from committing suicide. Anyways, just because I was locked within a maze of a house -- well, mansion -- didn't mean I had no hobbies. In the winter, a pond behind the mansion become a frozen circle that I was able to ice skate upon without being able to meet my demise via thin ice -- yes, I've tried! Freezing beneath chunks of ice that merge with one another until you're imprisoned by the very substance that tricked you sounds like how my life might end if I am to die tomorrow -- but, that's off topic. Sorry. I excelled at ice skating rather quickly, since I also took ballet. Rios played the piano while I danced in the empty space that served no point until I showed interest in dancing. Ice skating and ballet...they both give me an escape from all the death around me, and also brought me closer to my parents. My augmentations reprented my passion for ice skating and ballet and allowed me something I never had before: freedom. Ah, but if I write of what I saw when I gained that freedom, this won't end on a happy note, so perhaps later, when my life reaches another chapter.

((Note: This will be updated as the RP commences and new things are revealed (flashbacks), so...yeah. ))


Additional Info: Morte actually smiles when she dances/ice skates! Oh, and she sometimes uses her Augmentations to pull off dazzling stunts. Anything else? Hmm...oh yeah! Due to her new freedom, Morte will be going to a private school -- oops, that was suppose to be a secret! Oh, um...since Morte grew up around the technical language of her parents for six years and read many difficult books that were instructed to be read by her many tutors, she has intellect past her years.

~!SIDE CHARACTER!~



Yvon, thought to be somewhere in his tweens, encounters Morte in Ciel District. Even though trust wasn't really established, he helps her "teleport" out of Ciel District undetected by the guards (her wings would have been noticed). The augmentation responsible for the "teleportation" was a mechanical eyeball located in his right eye. Apparently, it activates via blinking (which is why he wears an eyepatch). The other augmentation known is a silver dragon located on his right hand's pointer finger called Druk. Druk's power is still unknown, but thanks to the picture, it is evident that it creates electricity. To what extent, though, is still a mystery.

DRUK:

((Hello everyone! ))

Name: Amber Rosalina

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Personality: Amber is real. She speaks her mind, does what she wants, and enjoys herself while she does it. This kind of personality seems to be a handful, but truth be told, she is actually very loved for it. Her honesty can't be beat. Honesty is her policy, ever since she was a child. Amber will tell you the truth, usually as kind and gentle as possible, unless you caught her on a bad day. The truth may sting, but she deduced that it is always better to know. She may sugar coat it at moments, and she is modest, but you can count on her for the truth.

Besides her honesty, Amber is a vivacious person. Optimistic? Not exactly. Only because she understands what is in front of her, and speaks her mind. Despite that, she is a bubbly person, playing the 'Game of Life' , always hoping that the next step will turn in her favor. She will stand up for what she believes in, no matter the consequences... and be proud about it. Making Amber embarrassed is very difficult, making her frightened is even harder. Never the less, she jokes and dares on life itself, and sometimes it's nice to breathe a breath of fresh air.

Occupation: Student, Upper class

Augmentations:
((I don't know if I do or do not want any more abilities... I am pretty sure that this is all I need))

Avian Hybrid:
This augmentation is Amber's personal favorite. Due to a special nano type technology imbedded in this augmentation, she has the ability to sprout wings from her back on will. These wings can disappear completely from view, and grow back in just moments. The wings are that of a bird itself, with the fine and crisp feel of each feather, perfectly placed in their rows, falling just right. Each feather has a beautiful pure white radiance that even the angels would be jealous of. As petite as her wings may appear, they have a special twist to them. Her wings have the ability to shroud there selves in a substance similar to steel, but stronger. Her wings can deflect most attacks while in this state but if the impact is forceful enough, it may cause her to fall, be pushed back, and etc. Flying is an obvious trait that she can use, as both defense and offense. When her wings are in the “metal-mode”, they are razor sharp, cutting through flesh fluently with ease, but as a downfall, she cannot fly when the metal-mode is activated.

Spherical Aegis:
The augmentation of Spherical Aegis is mostly defense rather than offense. Just by quickly claping her hands together and concentrating she can manipulate the air around her. Sadly, Amber can only use this ability to make herself more agile, making gravity more on her side in most circumstances. It takes a lot of her energy to actually do anything huge with this ability; something had gone wrong during the surgery and different ends didn't connect right for this ability. Originally, this was supposed to give you the power to surround yourself in a sphere of wind that could protect you, but Amber must strain herself to perform this, so she is content with the abilities she contains now.

Appearance:

((She does NOT smoke. Instead of a hat, she wears something more like a hoodie over her shirt. And under her skirt is a pair of black and white leggings. It pains me to say skirt xD))

History: Amber's life took a strange turn at the age of 14...
From the time of Amber's birth, her parents loved and cherished her. Enthusiasm and praise showered upon her helping to shape her into the party loving girl her family knew, but they also practiced the discipline that all young children need. She was taught all the lessons she would ever wish to learn, and all the lessons she would need to learn in the future.

Her parents were wealthy people who didn't throw their money around. They were some of the few people that weren't corrupted by money or the riots that took place outside their door. Actually, her parents tried to help where ever they could. All in all, they were good people who wanted to pass down their good thoughts to their daughter. Amber turned out to be a “treasure” as they called her, but she wasn't perfect, like all human beings. She was too honest at points, spoke her mind too often, didn't do what she was told all the time. It was always like this. Sometimes, her parents commented that they did just a little too well on their lessons. It was all a big joke inside the family.

As the years passed, Amber's parents realized how smart she was. An elite private school had offered her a chance to take place in their curriculum, and she passed with flying colors, all of the teachers commenting that she was past her years. While school just drew on and on, making the weeks last longer than they should have, she had heard about others who did just as well in school, if not better. Shrugging the comments off, Amber just worked harder in school, trying to impress her parents.

At the age of 14, four months after her birthday, Amber's parents started acting skittish. Her mother was so timid that just the pop of toast flying from a toaster would mess with her nerves. Amber's father would pace day in and day out in his study, frantically waving his arms up and down, as if trying to make the right decision on an important matter. He never spotted her peeking through the crack in the door way during his fits. One night at dinner, her father rushed in with a wide grin on his face. He stammered on about getting Amber some “upgrades” to protect herself, if any harm would come to her. His ramblings went on for another ten minutes or so, and Amber lost interest. Soon after, she found herself with her new abilities and relieved parents. A desire rose from her thoughts that her parents might finally start acting normal again, and she gave the biggest bear hug to her parents that she possibly could have.

After spending another arid day at private school, she opened the door to silence. The house often rung with laughter and voices. Even after the spontaneous change in attitudes, the abode was normally heard with sounds of their yips and mumbles. The mute noise just loomed around her. Pushing the door closed with her heel, Amber raced to her fathers study. Nothing. Her parents room. Nothing. Amber sped around that house until she check each and every crevice that was there. Finally returning to the kitchen, her eyes caught a note taped to the fridge. It read,

Dear Amber,
We are so sorry. Something unexpected came up and we won't be coming home. Ever. If we could change what we had done, we would have, but it's too late now. Even though we won't be back, we wanted you to remember we love you, always will, always have. All of our money is yours, take care of it. Take care of yourself.

Love you forever,
Mom & Dad

Heartbroken and confused, Amber fell to her knees crying that day. The sole clue she ever found was a message her parents had received from an unknown source. It had been marked out, and none of the text was readable.

To present day, Amber always wonders what drove her parents away. Was it her? The government? A petty thief? And she would probably never know. What kept her going was the knowledge that they loved and cared for her even still, and what ever had happened was to protect her. Amber dropped out of school after her parents disappearance, and just wanders the streets with a happy-go-lucky grin glued to her face, dreading having to return home, stepping into the quiet abyss behind those doors.

Additional Info: Wanna know something crazy? Amber is terrified of heights, sort of ironic for someone who can fly... She wears this necklace in the shape of a moon, that, on the edges, hides some old characters that Amber can't understand. She figures its some strange language that is dead now. Oh and even though she doesn't go to school usually, she could if she wants, she just chooses not too, but either way, she hangs around the school half the time.

((It doesn't feel like it is as descriptive as I wish it would be, but when I look over it I can't write it any different so I gave up.))

\Character Sheet\

Name: Aidan Bartholomew Carmile

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Personality: Aidan cares for other people and yet he doesn't see them as equals no matter how good or bad they are. He loves himself more so than anyone else and his self-esteem is quite high. This doesn't mean he acts like an a-hole to others, after all he has to retain a good public face because of his career.

Occupation: Actor – Upper Class

Augmentations:
Electronic's Expert ver. 3.0 – Also known as EE is popular among the wealthy. The augmentation is not something you install into a body part, it comes as a liquid form which is injected into the user through a needle. The liquid contains highly active nano cells which respond to electricity and store it. Once the nano cells are injected into the user, they immediately seek out the nervous system where they will ”settle in”. Most of the nano cells head into the brains while the rest gather into the user's legs and arms. Once the nano cells have adjusted into the user's nervous system, they start creating slight currents throughout the body using the nerves. This enables the user to absorb electricity from objects which have it, such as a TV or a lamp. The absorbed electricity is gathered into the current which flows through the user's body and can be released at any given time. By no means is this augmentation meant to be used to harm anyone. It is a simple adjustment to make life a tad easier (Be warned that using versions 1.0 or 2.0 will be highly dangerous due to certain malfunctions in the cells' behaviour).

Flash ver. 1.0 – Flash is a loved augmentation among the celebrities, although originally it was only to be used by the military. It makes escaping the roaring legions of fans(or opposing enemy soldiers) considerably easier. Installing Flash is hard to install and it can only be applied through surgery. So why would pretty face celebrities ever allow a surgery like that? Well, it's nothing new for them really(~Joke). Anyway, as mentioned above, the surgery is hard but it is not life-threatening(mostly). What they do is cut the forearm skin of both arms and place numerous ”pods” under the skin. They are very small, barely visible by naked eyes. As you know, there aren't many things that can completely block out light, thus these pods absorb the light which passes through the user's skin. The pods store the light for use at any give time. If the user wishes to use Flash, they do it by snapping both hands' simultaneuously. This makes the pods release all the stored light and make it flow out of the user's skin. Thus, just by looking at the user, anyone will be blinded. (Be warned that by using Flash several times in a row may cause permanent blindness).


Appearance:


The above is a portrait of Aidan which was drawn by an artist who wished to remain anonymous, partly, for they did give out an alias.. BlackRainbow342 from deviantART. Aidan especially liked the portrait for it's resemblance and angle, thus he keeps it in his apartment.
The attire in the portrait is the usual getup for Aidan. He wears a white suit with black thin stripes circling around the suit. Under the suit jacket is a black collar shirt and attached to the shirt is a clean white tie. His suit pants and shoes are also white, you can only imagine what his favorite color is.

Aidan's eyes are baby blue and they appear gentle. His nose is slightly smaller than an average person's although the difference isn't really that great. Aidan's hair is blonde with a few black stripes dyed into it. It has been noted that many call Aidan beautiful rather than handsome. Perhaps the reason lies in Aidan's face which can resemble that of a girl's rather than a boy's.

History:
Aidan was born with a golden spoon stuck in his mouth, figuratively speaking of course. He had wealthy parents who both were doctors and quite respected among their colleagues. Aidan's father was a surgeon and his mother was a neurologist, you can imagine that money was not a problem for them. However Aidan's father was quite strict about using the money, he wasn't one to spend it around for no apparent reason. Thus Aidan didn't actually have too many luxuries, although I would be lying if I'd say he wasn't priviledged.

Aidan was naturally sent into a private school and from there he was supposed to become a successor to his father. However things didn't turn out like that, much to Aidan's father's disappointment. Aidan's father loathed publicity, he would never accept Aidan's career choice as an actor. Aidan was around 17 years old when he first auditioned into a play. It seemed Aidan had a natural talent for acting because right from his first play a talent scout recognized him and offered Aidan a role in a movie. It was not a blockbuster movie, just a simple romance film. That's where Aidan's pretty face belonged right from the start.

Aidan's second movie however hit and it hit hard. People fell in love with ”Rose Petal”, the movie Aidan starred in. It was a romance flick with fiery passion and a heart breaking tragedy, just the perfect kind of movie to make the stereotypes scream and cry whenever they saw the movie. It was this single movie which jumped Aidan's career from a simple actor into a genuine movie star, a celebrity.

Augmentations had always intrigued Aidan, now he finally had the money for them so instantly he took one, EE as most called it. At first Aidan thought it was some kind of drug, however now he knew what it actually was. The augmentation cost 2 million dollars which was only a drop in the ocean of Aidan's wealth at the moment. Only a year passed before Aidan took another augmentation: Flash. With these two augmentations and a career as a movie star made Aidan's life seem perfect, however he was and still is hungry for more. No doubt would he purchase another augmentation at one point.

If only Aidan knew how much his life would change soon..

Additional Info: If it wasn't clear enough yet, Aidan is a celebrity. He is a huge celebrity now, pretty much everyone's knows his face because movie posters of him are scattered around everywhere. I just wanted to make a point there ^^.

((And with that the first post shall be arriving in a few short moments, just need to edit it in Onrpg...I hope you enjoy the first post. I feel I could have done better on my end though.

Oh and remember to destroy all OOCs before we start ^_^))


Growl. “Man, I'm hungry. I guess it's supper time,” Ashton said, holding his stomach which was verbally announcing the time of day as it always did right around 8'o clock. He got off of the sandy floor of the training area which was covered in a thin trail of blood. Taking in a deep breath, he then brushed off the dust that had accumulated during his training that night. He walked towards the direction of the bathing area which belonged to part of his illustrious family home that he inherited from his parents. Unclothing his sweat-ridden clothes he proceeded to wash himself in the showers, followed by a 20 minute relaxing session in the sauna. It helped relax him after an intense work out that endured every single day of the week. He managed to maintain his workout regime after his father was no longer there to train him.

Ashton began to wipe himself down with a soft towel and fitted on some new clothes which were provided by his house servant. He greeted the woman with a smile and carefully unfolded the clothes on a bench beside her. “Chiya” he spoke. “I'm going to be eating out tonight, have the rest of the night to yourself...watch television...whatever I don't mind” he gently smiled as he looked into her bright blue eyes. “Thank you Master Hayter, I uh...I'm sorry, I know you hate it when I call you master. It's become a force of habit after your parents...uh...” her words trailed off into an awkward silence. She waited nervously for Ashton's response. Ashton turned away from her face and let go of the gentle smile which was placed upon his face. He turned back again, this time with an even bigger and joyous smile. “I know I know, don't worry about it Chiya, you have fun. You're the only person that has cared for me after the incident, everybody else quickly left. I'm sure it is hard for you to work by yourself.”

Nodding and grinning wider he held his arm out to the door. “I know you did this for me when I was younger but uh...I would like to change myself if you don't mind Chiya!” But you're more than welcome...“Oh right away Ma-uh...Ashton, I'm sorry!” Ashton laughed a cheerful laugh along in harmony with Chiya's as she left the bathing area allowing the rest of the night to himself. Alone. Unrolling the towel around his waist Ashton began to clothe himself with the attire Chiya had given him. His attire matched that of his casual wear. A simple black tank top with a green hooded jacket followed by his favourite pair of black baggy cargo bottoms. Growl. His stomach announced what time of day it was to him again. “I know I know” he muttered to his belly as if to settle it's demand for food. He left the Hayter estate and began to slowly walk in the direction of Zen district's central area. It was not a long walk. After all, Ashton did live in Zen district himself.

Zen district retained the beautiful innocence of a peaceful Edo-period town, although it was backed up by modern influences such as automatic sliding doors which led to celebrities luxurious homes and fancy neon advertisements which moved along the side of walls, following you as if by magic. As Ashton left the street which belonged to his family estate and numerous other wealthy home-owners homes he laced his hands behind his head with the night ahead of him occupying his thoughts. Noodles! Noodles! Noodles! His belly groaned happily along in conjuncture. He looked up into the star lit sky and let out a content sigh, gazing at the stars as he walked along the numerous streets which led to his hunger's destination.

Five minutes had passed before Ashton found himself in Zen central. The area was bustling with people enjoying themselves, the familiar sound of a child's laughter could be heard each time he turned to look. He looked behind him and heard the surprised gasp from Jasmine, who had been walking behind him by sheer coincidence. Jasmine rushed to hide, fleeing into a small alleyway. She gazed upon Ashton with her big indigo eyes, filled with love and admiration, yet showing her apprehension and anxiety. She was still unsure of herself, even after all this time. She had as of yet to have a lasting conversation with him since his return to Zen and it had been over half a year since then. As she recalled this fact, as she often did, she let out a deep sigh, but a faint speck of hope remained, although obscured by her overwhelming self-doubt. She was nervous, and it truly showed in the way she acted around him.

As if by magic Jasmine sighed with relief, it looked like Ashton had not noticed her even though he was looking in her direction, perhaps he was looking past her and with that self-absorbed head of his didn't notice one of his old friends. Ashton turned back to his daily struggles, shrugging off what noise he heard behind him and continued in the direction of his favourite Chinese restaurant, Oishii. Making his way to the fast food stand he was met as a regular by the cook. “Hey Ashton, what can I get for you tonight?” A soft smile made it's way onto Ashton's lips. “It looks like you haven't forgotten about me Old man! I'd like a large bowl of your world famous Chow Mein!”.

It was the first time Ashton had been to Zen Central since he returned to live in his family residence after the unfortunate incident which had occurred. He had always had Chiya running his grocery errands for him as he slipped slowly in a self aroused paranoia brought on by his elder brother's vicious threats. It didn't seem to last long though. Somehow Ashton got the idea into his head that he would have to become stronger, enough so that he could defend himself from the brother that had always overshadowed him and praised constantly as the “superior son”.

It wasn't as if Ashton sat around and did absolutely nothing whilst he was locked within the confines of his family estate. He quickly made connections with a broker who dealt with acquiring sensitive information about anyone in particular, as long as you had something to trade – money, information or in exchange for a favour. Tonight was the night he would be meeting this contact. It took him almost 6 months to acquire the information which Ashton asked for, and it was no easy task in acquiring it either. Ashton was met by a large bowl of wavy noodles in a brownish broth with several vegetables and meats decorating the delicacy. “Thank you!” he greedily smiled as a drop of saliva dropped from his over excited lips and into the broth. His belly growled in delight.

He quickly snapped the chopsticks and dug into his meal leaving no trace of food left in the bowl. He had the habit of dropping the chopsticks and drinking the broth straight from the bowl after eating the noodles. He placed the bowl back down onto the counter, licking his lips in appeasement. A serious expression then found it's way on Ashton's face, following the satisfying meal he thought about what would happen during the rest of the night. White Rabbit...he thought to himself. White Rabbit was the nightclub he was supposed to meet the Information Broker, but Ashton couldn't help but have an unnerving feeling in his gut, and he was sure it wasn't because he ate too fast.

He left the money on the counter and cheerfully smiled at the cook who had served him his meal. It was now time to meet the Information Broker. No matter how much he tried to go along with it, he hated nightclubs. All the rich kids hyped up on the latest chems which were sure to be the root of most problems in today's society. Tonight seemed kind of strange. All around him Ashton saw Omni-Tech's personnel, armoured to the teeth as if something serious was about to go down. He tried to pay no attention to it and continued to make his way to White Rabbit. It was nearing 10'o Clock, and that was when the party was about to begin.

He was met by one of the club's bouncers that were built to the brim like a shit house on steroids. “Password” the bouncer snorted. He wasn't on tonight's guest list, and he didn't book a reservation for the party that was inside. White Rabbit was a classy kind of nightclub. It wasn't just your average club where junkies would go in to find a place to chill from the harshness of reality, it was a sophisticated nightclub, one where snotty nosed rich kids inherited their parent's fortune and needed a place to blow their massive amounts of crystals.

“How about I slip a little somethin' somethin' your way and we forget about this guest list huh?” Ashton smiled as he slipped the bundle of crystals into the bouncer's breast pocket. “Enjoy your night” the bouncer snorted once more, but this time with a smile beaming across his face, he was just another one of those guys that would lick your butt clean even if it was just to get a few crystal notes thrown his way, there was nothing to fuss about anyway, this worked in Ashton's favour.

Ashton swung open the large glass double doors and was met with the pulsating beats that were the clubs traditional rave music, it didn't even sound like music, more so than a bunch of loud noises which drilled into your sensitive ears, but that was Ashton's opinion, he had a more acquired taste in music after all. Strobe lighting and artificial blasts of lightning struck along the dance floor as the snot nosed rich kids bounced around in pure ecstasy leaving Ashton dumbfounded on how people can enjoy that kind of music. Ashton smoothly walked towards the bar on the opposite side of the dance floor and ordered himself a drink. It was legal to drink from the age of 13 onwards, it was a crazy law to have it lowered but it kept kids from drinking on the streets and that seemed to work towards Omni-Tech's favour.

“I'll have two shots of rum with crushed ice followed by a glass of your finest whiskey on the double”. He smiled and looked around him in awe. Although he did hate the music, you have just got to love the intense atmosphere, it was enough to excite the most depressed kid on these streets. The barman tapped the bar behind Ashton as his drinks were set in front of him. He quickly downed the two shots of rum, the liquid trickled down his throat leaving an intense burning sensation behind. Followed by this, he grabbed his glass of whiskey and watched as the ice cubes danced around in the glass. It would seem that the Information Broker hadn't arrived yet, this was to no surprise though, the Information Broker seemed to love making his clients wait.

It would seem this club was being paid special attention by Omni-Tech as well. There were official personnel lined along the balconies above surveying the ecstasy below them with a hawks eye on any trouble makers, even if they had to find some, again they were armoured to the teeth and didn't seem to be enjoying the atmosphere too well. Taking a sip from his drink Ashton swirled the ice cubes around the glass and watched the liquid swirl into a miniature whirlpool. He couldn't put his finger on it just yet but he thought something bad was going down, the heavy concentration of Omni-Tech who were supposed to be promoting peace seemed to be actually promoting vendetta.

He caught the eyes of one of the soldiers. “B*stard” he muttered to himself. If that b*stard broker set me up...Ashton shook the thoughts from his head. All he could do right now was not make any sudden moves. If he left now the soldiers would get suspicious and probably begin tailing him. He would have to act smart and think of a plan if the worst should come to pass. All he could do right now though was wait for the Information Broker, but it was hard to find him...or her...when you don't know what he or she looks like...That's right. Ashton had never met the Information Broker face to face before. They dealt with each other through a messenger who served as their running man who sent messages back and forth.

Ashton pulled one of the ice cubes out from his glass of whiskey and began to suck on it, removing any excess whiskey that was still on it. He then proceeded to rub it around his forehead and cheeks, under his neck as well. The temperature was just as intense as the atmosphere. He set his drink back down onto the bar and pushed his crystals towards the bartender. He then took off his jacket and wrapped it around his waist. His unique augmentations glistening in the artificial light. This would surely attract some attention to him but he did it intentionally. He wanted to see if he could spark a reaction from any of the greedy bastards here, those including Omni-Tech. They were probably here to rape him of his augmentations and the broker gave them information pertaining this. After all, the broker was a greedy bastard and worked for the highest bidder.

Ashton clasped the glass in his obsidian augmented left arm and proceeded to finish his drink. He took one last glimpse to the soldiers above him who were directly staring towards him. Bastard! I knew it!. Ashton quickly made his way past the bar and into the cover of one of the booths not knowing that it was already occupied by other people. He ducked his head downwards hoping that the darkness would obscure his face from the prying eyes of Omni-Tech. Whoever is in this booth with me is one unlucky guy. He looked up towards the stranger and met them with a gentle smile. “Mind if I join you?”. He chuckled.

((Okay so heres the deal...Do whatever the hell you want. BUT you must all arrive at the nightclub (I know that's hard for homeless dudes so they can be begging in the joining alleyway which leads to the fire escape but if you can find an imaginative way inside the kudos ). Oh, and if anybody wants to be the person...or persons that are in the booth with me then you can put that into your post if you want I will allow it ^^ but if nobody wants to I'm just gonna put another person there who I shall have a conversation with

anyway thanks for staying with me this long guys and I hope this role play is everything you expected it to be ^^

and yes lokuri, before you bloody well ask because I KNOW you will, 14 year olds can go into the night club as well If your pockets are lined with crystals (which is the role plays currency in case any of you guys haven't catched on) then your more than welcome to go to the club...just as long as your not 5 years old. T.T)).

Aidan Carmile, a celebrity on his own right, was resting in a luxurious hotel suite. He had just came back from a press conference where, yet again, he had to give out another hundred signatures. His right hand was screaming out of pain, it was a common problem for celebrities. For Aidan it was worse since he was almost worshipped. Naturally not everyone actually worshipped him, there are always two sides to one coin. During his short six year career he had already accomplished more than one could imagine.

"Quite a lovely evening", Aidan said as he watched out of the 22nd floor of the hotel he was in. Like anyone of his age, Aidan felt like partying since it was such a wonderful evening. He turned around and took a glance at his new hotel suite. He didn't want to stay in one place for too long, thus he hadn't bought an actual home for himself. Instead he lived in hotels, it was quite an expensive way of life but hell, he had the income for it. With the snap of one of his finger, the TV turned itself on and lights erupted from the closet of his room.

A news broadcast was on, it was like every other with next to zero difference. People had died in an accident, a company was thrown into a scandal and of course last but not least, the icebreaker. Today it was from a puppy who seemed to say "What" with every bark. It was quite an adorable sight, and funny too since you could see a tear emit from one of the anchor's eye. It was a happy tear no doubt, yet Aidan hadn't experienced such a thing yet.

He changed his attire into his favorite one, white suit with a black collar shirt and a baby blue tie, just like his eyes. The suit had the same pattern as always, thin black stripes circled around it everywhere. The first time Aidan saw the pattern he fell completely in love with it. There was simply something about it, it eventually lead Aidan to slightly dye his hair by having thin black stripes going through it. Now he was almost ready to leave and enjoy the evening to it's fullest. Aidan flinged open his cellphone and called to Jenny, she always knew the best places to party.

"Evening Jenny, how has your day been?", Aidan asked first before progressing into the real subject.
"Hi Aidan! It's been pretty awesome! I'm in this nightclub called "White Rabbit". You should definitely check this place out!"
"Huh, I was just about to ask you that. Thank you Jenny, see you later", Aidan hung up and made another call. It was quite rude to just suddenly hang up but Jenny was a childhood friend of Aidan's so she would understand, right? At least that's what Aidan thought.
"C-Security, how may I help you today?", a female voice was heard as the call was answered.
"Evening Aya, it's me, Aidan"
"Evening Mr. Carmile. You wish to have the usual?"
"Always so straightforward Aya! Actually, I would like to have Matthew and Tom today. Are they available?"
"Let me check.. Yes, they are available. Where do I send them?"
"I'm still in the hotel near the Zen plaza, well, the one and only hotel around there. It's Skylight Hotel if I remember right"
"Matthew and Tom will arrive there in 20 minutes. Have a pleasant evening Mr. Carmile"
"You too Aya", Aidan hung up and proceeded to sit on his couch.

~After exactly 20 minutes~

A green light switched on right above the front door. It was the signal that Tom and Matthew had arrived. Aidan checked his wristwatch, they had arrived in exactly 20 minutes. Always so punctual!, Aidan thought before he opened the front door. There the two stood, both were like heavyweight wrestlers put in a tuxedo. Tom was the bald one with a tattoo covering his head and Matthew had a black ponytail. These two were the bodyguards Aidan would have as his protection during his visit in "White Rabbit".
"Evening boys, shall we depart?", Aidan spoke and before letting them answer he already started walking towards the entrance.

The city was as lively as always. Homeless littered the dark alleyways while the rich kids littered the streets. Since Aidan undoubtedly belonged to the rich kids, he walked down the street with his two bodyguards. Surprisingly, no one had come to ask for an autograph yet. Aidan felt actually relieved, finally his hand was allowed to rest. The advertisement holograms were a real annoyance to most, they just popped out of nowhere and started selling you a vacuum cleaner. Turning to face an electronic map, Aidan checked the location of "White Rabbit". The nightclub was located right here in the Zen plaza, it would only be a short walk to get to the place.

Too bad that short walk was already compromised by a crowd of fans, all of them were women who kept screaming Aidan's name from the top of their lungs. Aidan only smiled and let Tom and Matthew clear the road.
"I LOVE YOU AIDAN!! MARRY ME!!", a desperate shout erupted from the crowd. It seemed the woman had gotten herself a megaphone. This is going to be bothersome, Aidan thought. Another woman robbed the megaphone and used it herself to announce ridiculous things to Aidan.

Finally Aidan was able to get to the entrance of "White Rabbit". The bouncer was standing like a stone wall next to the double doors that lead inside. There was a line of people trying to get inside, however when Aidan showed up the line vanished and became yet another crowd. The bouncer let Aidan in for his name was in the list, Jenny had taken care of that. The nightclub sure was loud and it was as full as a tuna can. It was quite fortunate for Aidan since people only danced and didn't care who passed by. Drugs were quite obvious in this kind of place. In order to avoid a scandal Aidan didn't take any.

Instead of dancing Aidan went to the bar and sat down next to the counter.
"A Manhattan please", Aidan said to the bartender.
"Aidan Carmile, boy am I lucky", there was sarcasm in the bartender's voice before he gave Aidan his drink.
Aidan didn't respond, he took his drink and walked to a nearby couch. He went past a guy who looked rather nervous, not something you often saw in a nightclub. Aidan sat down and started slowly sipping his cocktail when the same man suddenly rushed off from his seat. Aidan observed as the man entered a booth, as if to hide himself from something. Aidan looked up and noticed several Omni-Teach security personnel patrolling there. Now that's odd.. what's going on?, Aidan thought. Tom and Matthew had been with Aidan the whole time, however it was in their nature to blend in.

Aidan kept sipping his cocktail while observing the situation.
