When I think of big favours being cashed in, one thing that comes to mind is the incredible a calling in a jet but that's beside the point.
My character could owe you for either getting him one of the first spots in line for the use of your invention and the prestige that went with it. Or he could perhaps owe him for freeing him from his frozen prison in Russia, or perhaps owe him for being a reference that got him the job of advisor to sinopecs too governing body. Which one do you think would be good?

Indeed. I think those would be an apt and good description of their relationship.North America Inc wrote:Cainesland wrote:

I think I like the first one. How should the relationship be cordial? Friendly?

Sure thing. Though I will have to post it tomorrow. Is their a context or reason for calling in the favour that might be beneficial to know before I post or is the reason ok to introduce during the the course of the phone call (which it would need to anyway)? I presume your character would be the one calling? Becouse otherwise my character would be the one calling in a favour.

I would be calling but I imagine if this far in the future, it's probably holographic.

(Image)
Name: Donovan Hyland
Age: 58 (augmentations make age irrelevant)
Body Form: Cyborg
Gender, Sex, and Sexuality: Male, Male, and Heterosexual
Personality: Donovan is quiet, but when he speaks, he does so with extreme fervor. Dedicated and severe, his only friends are his teammates and other members of the DNG. The mass amount of people he's killed, tortured, and blackmailed had made him not capable of empathy towards those he sees as "enemies". Civilian contractors are no different, in his eyes, then the PMC soldiers.
Skills:
- Stealth: A key component to Donovan's missions is keeping everything under wraps. False-flag attacks are pointless if people know who truly was responsible, and witnesses are never a good thing. Dexterous and agile, Donovan has multiple augments that help he remain unseen, unheard, and unknown. Metallic skin that camouflages, extremely lightweight materials in his construction, and more sensitive sight, hearing, and touch allows Donovan to both perceive of, avoid, and if needed, dispatch threats he comes across.
- Explosives: Sabotage and the destruction of evidence are paramount to the Black Ops Donovan partakes in. As such, he knows a myriad of explosives and chemicals that can be used to destroy property, mechs, robots, and even people.
- Hacking: Although not a master by any means, Donovan knows his way around most computers and networks. While he could hardly attempt a full-scale network attack, he is adept at close-range hacking of robots, mechs, and security systems, even if his success is only temporary.
- Intimidation and Persuasion: Kidnapping, bribery, and extortion are all key parts of Donovan's operation. As a result, he is skilled at extracting information from his victims, blackmailing or extorting influential politicians and corporate leaders, and persuading patriotic businessmen to donate their funds to the cause.
Faction: DNG
Occupation: Black Operations Officer
Starting Location: New York City, New York
Bio: Donovan was born in Chicago, a city slowly declining into vice and sin as he came of age. MC's protected the wealthy and resource-rich areas while the poor slums were left to fend for themselves, monopolized by drug lords and petty tyrants. As the US government slowly shrunk away, becoming a shadow of its former self, Donovan's family fled into Wisconsin, and then Minnesota. Within these rural areas, the MC's had not dominated, nor had the petty crooks spread that far.
Out here, Donovan's family was recruited into the DNG. Organizing themselves away from the massive urban centers, many families who had lost their livelihoods and loved ones to MC's increasingly radicalized themselves within DNG compounds. Donovan was one of these people.
Since there was no other career field left for him, Donovan grew up in an incredibly martial setting. Navy SEALs and other Spec Ops who had not sold their souls to the MC's had fled along with other military members who had any semblance of patriotism left. These men and women, angry at seeing their entire lives wasted as the country devolved into a den of despair and crime, helped teach the next generations the skills to serve what remained of America.
Accelerating through the ranks, Donovan has established a reputation as a skilled Special Operations Officer. He has two main tasks - turning the public against the MC's, and acquiring funds for the DNC in whatever way possible. The first is done through both violent and non-violent means. False-flag attacks, propaganda, assassination of key figures, and the sabotage of major media networks. The second is done through both legal and illegal methods. Extortion, theft, and forming alliances with business still patriotic are Donovan's chief duties.
Donovan's name is not officially held by the DNG - who deny any accusation Donovan's mystery crew has anything to do with them. As far as anyone knows, Donovan, whose name has been scrubbed and goes by the pseudonym "Wes", is a mercenary who works for a shadowy criminal organization. To maintain his "Wes" character, he occassionaly forms real contracts with criminal organizations that fight against MC influences. After all, the DNG has released top-secret orders treating workers for MC's, especially one's in North America, as enemies of the state.
Donovan has been mechanically altered, in order to maximize his effectiveness. Many missions require the skills his augmentations provide.

Equipment, Weapons, and Vehicles: M1A14 Rail Sniper Rifle, R294 Experimental Rail Assault Gun, 2L44 Commercial Plasma Shotgun, 2K2L Silent Laser Pistol, DNG Experimental Laser Assault Rifle, Modified Industrial Van, Heavy Explosives.

North America Inc wrote:Bio: Eric Heckler was born in London, United Kingdom in the year 2103 by an Austrian Father and an English mother. His childhood and indeed his young adult life is nothing of particular interest, with his only exception him being exceptionally bright. His father was a drunkard, and just as easily squandered his income on cheap whisky and vodka. So it was to no surprise that he was a mama's boy, something that his school mates teased him endlessly, but none the less true. His mother pampered him with the little luxuries that they can afford. Of course you can argue that it may have socially stunted him, his classmates in secondary school noted his quiet demeanor and his reclusive nature.
As a young man, he was accepted to the University of Oxford, with the dream of being a neurosurgeon and perhaps move to America and go to John Hopkins or its equivalent so that he can be successful like his idol, Ben Carson. Although that never occurred, he would eventually tack on the newly established major of Quantum Computing. It was in this hectic lifestyle that his mother developed cancer, something that tore him up.He watched with abject horror as his mother's health quickly worsened as she was eaten from the inside, with her awareness of the situation making all that much worse. It made no sense to Heckler,why she needed to suffer and die when it was apparent that the cancer was in her ovaries. But alas, the brain didn't care that only the body was dying. Her body died, along with her soul.
After a few years in his mid thirties he was contacted to work with a bunch of other gifted minds, with one goal in mind: the transferring of the conscious to a server. It was something that he always dreamed and finally he might be able to save other loved ones. For the next a decade and then some, a small group of dedicated and well funded scientists worked to make brain- uploading a reality. Heckler's research mainly focused on one rather gargantuan problem: in trials the conscious would merely copy. The conscious was merely being copied like a compute file and destroyed the original, thus it meant the person was not free from death. A transfer was necessary, not a copying. In the spring of 2149, Heckler was able to design the Synthetic Conversion Process (SCP) which finally allowed people to stored in a server. In a matter of months breakthrough after breakthrough came into light, and in 2150 the PPsyD was finally refined and showed to the public.
Award after award, contract after contract was bestowed to the team. They shattered the idea of Mortality, and the world would never be the same. Indeed Heckler looked back at that time, and he could see the rise of the MNC. Companies flocked for everyone in the research team, and Heckler became a millionaire overnight. Heckler's first contract was the use of actual humans and allow the PPsyD to transfer between bodies. This was the first time he was the head researcher, and he enjoyed every moment of it. He was finally able to say something was his his, and within a few short years he unveiled the ability to transfer consciousness between bodies, destroying any idea of 'illusive beauty'. He let his company deal with the backlash, he was busy heading in Russia.
His time in Russia, confirmed what he had been debating philosophically in his mind for some time. For the majority of his life he had been a major proponent of Capitalism and in his youth he enjoyed learning about late 19th century Captains of Industries. However during his PPsyD research days, he got into the teachings of Friedrich Nietzsche and late 21th century thinker Edmund Gonzalez . He noted the the fundamental failures of the human condition, we were short sided, debauchery was coveted, and greed was place above all else. Indeed looking out of the Kremlin, he could see the development of feudalism occurring once again. Humans by their nature were weak willed, for humanity to truly advance a core of the most educated and gifted people of our world will need to be allowed to lead. Similar to Plato's dream of Philosopher Kings, but Heckler wanted to take it once step further. He would use the PPsyD to merge the consciousness of the 'talented ten' with the deletion of individuality and emotion. They needed to be detached from the rest, and needed to lead the world without personal views and ulterior motives. He worked with glee in Russia but in the end it proved to only be an experiment, the Russian Leaders were too short sighted. They couldn't see his Utopian future and thus allowed the retention of individuals and established a dictatorship. He left before they could successfully retain him.
Now going by the alias of Nathaniel Koch, he plays the part of aloof but well-meaning socialite, with more money then he could do with. Most don't remember Eric Heckler any more and Koch stays in the shadows wishing for the ability to create 'peace.'

Donovan's ultimate ideology is with the DNG, but I see no reason why Wes couldn't fulfill contracts with you, as long as you aren't actively fighting the DNG. While I doubt he will ever fully embrace your ideals, he will have no qualms fighting corporate leaders, politicians, and other criminals.
Although, maybe I should make him less reliant on the DNG. It may be more fun to pick a side later.

It's not really well known at this point, he would appear just another anti-establishment socialite with a few good ideas.
If he is morally righteous, why is a mercenary for hire?
