It will, but the company that researched the nano-virus, Xylon Pharmaceuticals, is already established. Just so you know before making your app.

Oh got it, well there's bound to be knock off and such these days.

Nation Name: Stadenwick
Character Name: Ludwig von Heidreich
Nationality: European Federation
Affiliation: Heidreich Industries
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Species: Cybernetic Augmented Human
Appearance:
Image
Personality: Most of the time laid-back and polite, even to his complete enemy, but know to turn serious when it comes to business. Always calm and smiles, a lot.
Weapons:
- Colt Mamba, a futuristic variant of Colt python hidden in his suit.
- Usually have an electric butterfly knife hidden in his sleeve as well
Strengths: Cybernetic-ally enhanced eyes and nerve system. Massive fortune, big political power, and naturally a genius as well.
Weaknesses: Over confident and ambitious, generally weak body and stamina.
Profession: C.E.O of the Heidreich Industries
Character History:
Fortunately for him and unfortunately for tragic back-story, Ludwig didn't have a bad or sad childhood. In fact, it's the best anyone in the world can asked for. As the only son and the sole heir of a business empire, Heidreich Industries, Ludwig's life is pampered. Everything he's asked for is granted tenfold of what he's originally wanted, and even some things he didn't have to ask at all. After all, he's the cliché rich prince, and with it comes the cliché answer for rich parents that never able to really connect with their children in their pursuit of. But this never bother him, unlike in many cliché story, as in addition to be extremely spoiled rich, he's also a natural social person and a robotic genius much like his successful father. Every attention that he didn't get from his parents he get from other people near him, and what he can't get from other people, he get from his robotic creation.

At his twenty year old anniversary, his father falls and died due to stroke. This sudden loss leave quite an impact in seemingly-perfect life Ludwig has until now. His mother, sad and depressed by the loss, moved back to her family before dying on her own few months late, leaving him alone and with the throne of the giant corporation his father created from scratch in the early 21st century to take on with. Ludwig himself, depressed by the loss in the first few months, decided to lock himself in his room drowning in work to search why and how his father died from stroke despite there's almost no signs of it. Turns out, his father suffer from a rare genetic case called Algernoon, which basically make you a genius but harmful in the long run. It's hereditary no matter what and it seems that any genetic modification will cancel this genetic case.

After sobering up from the death of his father and knowledge of his new condition, Ludwig face the day and start working in his father corporation. In his first day of work, his father co-worker and colleagues sneered and even plot to get him out, but quickly he turned it back around. In Stalin style and with his now trademark ironic polite smile he always have, he purged everyone that against him, and those who turns out to be problematic to kick out get their spot switched away from any position of power. With all corporate power in his complete grasp, he turns all of his talent and privilege to be his spear point in the EU wealthy and heavily regulated capitalistic market, and he came out victorious as he brings Heidreich Industries to be being the biggest robotic and cybernatic company in the area, with British Policeman Charles Dawkins being the first human cyborg as the trophy of it.

However not all sweets in Ludwig's life after his father passing. After he's reached success many eyes him with envy, his Stalin purge also breed hatred and the wish for revenge in the mind those being purged. It's reach it's climax at the cold night of Christmas few years ago. In one of the board meeting Ludwig was having, the building got bombed by unknown assailant. He's survived, unlike his colleagues that dies from the explosion, but nonetheless he was injured. His right eye is now broken and so does his nerve system. The doctor recommended a genetic modification to heal these injury, but knowing his genetic condition, Ludwig opt-out and choose cybernetic instead. He use the state-of-the-art cybernetic his corporation had for the time, and it makes him better than before the explosion.

But even then it's not enough to deter Ludwig, in fact it's never enough now that he have the position and power. His ambition now is too high to be confined to be the strongest company in the E.U, he wants the E.U itself. So he start to make his way to the politic as well. Sponsoring puppet official, off-the-book deal, anything that his hand can reach he will take it. The only problem is of course, the usual Russia and U.S, with whatever the name they go by nowadays. The Cold war between the two meant that both of them have their own influence over Europe, and theirs even more established than the newly powerful mega-corporation like he have. Not too often, the two will bruised their shoulders of influence with his company.

But that's not the only thing he have to deal with, now with Xylon Pharmaceuticals branching out to Cybernetic market as well, and Ludwig watches very carefully of what the competitor doing basically 24/7, complete with hacking the server and corporate spy and all that. One of his report told him of a secret conspiracy with a certain Nano-virus, something that certainly intrigued for someone like him

Character's Role in the Plot: Competitor of Xylon Pharmaceuticals as well as trying to be that person that turn entire country to a oligarchic corporate state.

Thanks. I've only got the history left to do now.

Preview: Born in ex-Israel in 2035, a few years after the first genetically modified baby in China. She grew up in a wealthy family until their mercenary guards turned on them and she was sold into slavery (roughly 20-something years old at the time) by local warlords. After a few years, she escapes and becomes a mercenary of sorts. She's been retired a while, though she's still got some skills and weapons to spare.

It's going to be a character more focused on stealth or persuasion, with her main failure being the lack of potential in direct confrontations.

Oh quick heads up guys:
The country in yellow that is made up of Korea and Japan is called the Republic of East Asia. Japan doesn't have a monarchy anymore.
And Israel is actually part of the European Federation, I marked it black instead of blue, my bad.

Republic of the Cristo wrote:Nation Name: Republic of the Cristo
Character Name: Fa'ad Mobaruk
Nationality: Iraqi tribal
Affiliation: (Leave blank if Affiliation is same as Nationality)
Gender: male
Age: 35
Species: Baseline human
Appearance: Just the face
(Image)
Personality: Is warm enough, is intense, is stubborn, and if not the bit most charming
Weapons: Magnum 44. - with magnetic bullets
Strengths: is resilient, is quick with his wits and his hands, is extremely tough
Weaknesses: Is a big loud unbashful guy ( thus making him a rather big and easy spotted target for enemies )
Profession: Radio show host/ activist
Character History: Fa'ad was born in what used to be Kuwait to a Bedouin family of nomads. Life in the middle east was extremely hard at that time, due to there being no government outside of the warlord. Fa'ad's family would move around Kuwait and southern Iraq herding sheep, similar to how their ancestors had for thousands of years prior. Fa'ad would be raised with a simple life, not knowing too much about the outside world. He was taught how the quaran, he was taught how to live off the land, and how to be a man, and that was all.

At 18 however, his family had grown quite large, with 20 members in total. His parents were unable to take care of them all with the sheep they had. Fa'ad took it upon himself to go out into the world, thus releasing his family from the burden of taking care of him; besides, he was a man by now, and needed to go out on his own anyway. Before Fa'ad would go searching for a wife, he would first travel to New Delhi India. Although he had never been taught much of the outside world, he still dreamed of traveling there, just to see what it was like. He was astounded by everything! The plane ride, the city, the cars, the pollution, and most of all by the people.

Fa'ad had lived amongst only baseline humans his entire life, thus when he saw these supposed machine men walking down the street freely, he was horrified. He was later informed by a friend he had made in Delhi that this was normal; this friends name was Mahmoud Al-sabin. Fa'ad had meet each other when Fa'ad stumbled his way into the Muslim quarter of Delhi. Fa'ad was still extremely scared of the world he was seeing around him, but found that the Muslim quarter was slightly more... normal. Not as many machine men, as he called them. Upon hearing the call to prayer, Fa'ad recognized something from his home life and immedieantly went to the mosque. After prayer, he met with one of the men whom were praying, Mahmoud.

Mahmoud would explain to Fa'ad the world that he had been sheltered from. The next couple of weeks, Fa'ad and Mahmoud would live together in Mahmoud's apartment. Fa'ad would get a job as a store clerk while in the quarter. While there, he would be subject to both news of the world as a whole, and the religious teachings against augmentation. Fa'ad would eventually be jaded towards the augs, seeing them as an attempt to immolate God. Eventually, Fa'ad was hired as a security officer in a mall in one of the nicer quarters of the city. Within a week of getting the job, he quit. He was shocked and astonished at the sheer amount of gluttony, greed, and hubris present within the richer and augmented classes.

Fa'ad bid Mahmoud a farewell after that and traveled back to Iraq to live a hired hand with a another family's sheep herd. A year of living this way though, Fa'ad felt that he was wasting his life. He was aware of the sins and the blasphemies being committed by the outside world, yet he chose to stay here and do nothing. Fa'ad chose to travel back to India. He refused the use of airplane this time however, as he had finally made up his mind that technology would inevitably lead to moral - and eventually physical - corruption. He would tag along with a warlord's caravan that was traveling to Islamabad, Pakistan. The trip would take several weeks, and Fa'ad would serve as a body guard. He would be taught how to use weapons by the other guards, and on several occasions he would use them to ward off attackers to the caravan. By the time the caravan had gotten to Pakistan, Fa'ad broke off and made his way back to New Delhi.

Once he had returned, he reunited with his old friend Mahmoud. Mahmoud was surprised to find Fa'ad a much harder a man than what he left as. Fa'ad would work out a deal with a local mosque and would start his own radio station inside of Delhi. He would use the station to spread his message of human purity, submission to God, and redistribution of wealth. Along with the radio station, he would also set up a political party inside the quarter, " Party of Holy Revolutionaries ". The PHR, would emphasis Islamism, with their own socialist and Human supremacist understandings.
Character's Role in the Plot: religious fundamentalist - the human supremacist who will lead a movement against the established aug order.

You know, I've been looking for something to fill a couple of gaps. I've not much experience with cyberpunk, admittedly, but I'll see what I can do to make something interesting given the lore.

If you're wondering, I don't have much experience because I've played the intro sequence of Shadowrun.

Nation Name: Kotahi Akuaka Hona Yocatala Mataka Tekarua Hapuka Ik' Ka' Ek' Akai
Character Name: Ahava Haza bat-Aharon
Nationality: Israeli
Affiliation: Nobody in particular
Gender: Female
Age: 83
Species: Genie (Genetically augmented human)
Appearance: These are rather large pictures
Clothing is various, but these should help paint a picture
Personality: Ahava can best be described as the sort of person who goes to a party, and then doesn't talk to anyone.
I saw "traits as a CK2 character" earlier. I could do that if desired, but I honestly am not that good at describing personalities. Show, don't tell, eh?
Weapons: Plasma rifle intended for sniping, a common ballistic pistol, a curved dagger, and a shiv made from an old key.
Strengths: Intellect, improv skills, affinity for stealth, seeming coyness
Weaknesses: She lacks any significant physical strength, and her small frame makes her easy to overpower. She, in essence, lacks skills in the case of direct confrontation.
Profession: Ex-mercenary
Character History: Born in 2035, a few years after the first genetic experiments were carried out on fetuses, Ahava was one of the first genetically modified fetuses in the Middle East. Born to a wealthy Mizrahi family, her father was a prominent businessman who kept his holdings in-tact through the continued use of mercenaries, protecting against the warlords beyond the border. This would prove rather effective for her earlier years, as she grew up well-educated and well-funded. Things were going pretty well, and she grew up like any other child. Her parents were afraid, by her 20th birthday, that the genetic engineering they had undertaken on her had been completely lost, although they would be proven quickly wrong.

She had not seemed to change much over the next few years. It became quickly evident that the experiment had worked, and her life had been significantly, if not indefinitely, prolonged. Her aging had slowed to an invisible rate, to the point that even at the age of 83, she still appears to be the same as she was decades ago. A few weeks after her 26th birthday, the mercenary guards that her father had hired turned hostile, and the family was attacked. While the parents were able to flee to a more stable region, their daughter, Ahava, was captured in the escape and sold off to a local warlord. She served her next three years in the life of a slave, forced to do housework and wear humiliating costumes for the pleasure of her sheikh. She, fortunately, managed to stave off unwanted advances and confined her duties to being an unwilling maid.

After three years, on her 29th birthday, she still looked as if she were 19. Having gained the trust of her lord, she offered to make him a birthday cake in celebration. He let her, and would soon regret doing so. She poisoned the cake, with the sheikh falling violently, but not fatally, ill after eating it. Using the advantage, she escaped from her usual restraints and used the sharp, rigid, and serrated key as a weapon against any trying to stop her. She snuck her way into the desert, and after hours of walking in the night, was lucky to find a friendly Bedouin tribe willing to help her travel to Dubai, where she could lead a life of recovery and safety.

She was, at the time, granted subsidies for living from the government of Dubai on the condition that she act as an informant and raider to bring down local slavers. They were, after all, a serious detriment to Dubai's system of order and law. She happily accepted, using subsidies and government pay to not only survive, but she used the lessons she had been taught to invest properly and build a comfortable life. She started by playing a part in sting operations, using what knowledge she had gained to contact slavers and set them up. As time progressed, her work became more violent, involving infiltration and eventually assassination of warlords and slavers. It was through her efforts that the government granted her a plasma rifle to use in her missions, a very effective weapon indeed, and a standard pistol for self-defense. She carried her missions out dutifully, and after nearly five years, was released from her government contract and allowed to live whatever life she chose. Now getting close to her 40's, she became a mercenary. She worked as a guard for private corporations willing to pay big for good security, and made herself a small fortune. This continued for a while.

On her 50th birthday, she officially resigned from her work. She met up face-to-face with her parents for the first time since she was captured, having only had loose contact with them since arriving in Dubai. It was very emotional and tearful, and had the phrase "You look just like we remember" in it for obvious reasons. The family was finally reunited. Ahava used her wealth to ensure a steady flow of wealth through investments, and currently stands situated with a comfortable life and several places of residence in multiple countries. Despite this, she has always remained humbled by her past experiences, clawing her way from near-death to a small fortune was no easy feat, but she has no pride over it. She's spent the last 30 years or so doing some of the things she wanted to do before she was given such an unusual life, namely musical endeavors. Even still, though, her skills are as sharp as ever, and she remains untrusting of others. Her social skills leave much to be desired, although her silent personality can be seen as endearing by some.

Her current location is at home, in whatever location is most convenient for interaction with players.

Character's Role in the Plot: I'd consider this relatively fluid, although the most likely case is as a scout, guard, or infiltrator for the anti-conspirators.
RP Example: I saw something about having over 1000 posts, but you can probably get an evaluation of me from Alouite or Sanabel.
