Humanity Never Learns - Rebooted [OOC/OPEN]

[Ghondra]

The former wouldn't work since we won't be touching on Cuba. But for the latter it might if you replace Anarcho-Communist with EF Separatists... wait.

How about we create a shared history for Amaya and William? Might be interesting.

That could work. Although I don't know why a Carribean national would care what happens to the EF...eh, that can be worked out.

Well William was a PMC, and since Amaya's a smuggler she must've dealt with PMCs before. Maybe they were on a mission in Central America and Amaya bailed them out of a tough spot. Since then William kept in touch and occasionally buys things from her that he can't get in EF Territory.

I could see that. Keep in mind that she only smuggles medical supplies unless she owes someone a big favor.

Also, keeping in touch with Amaya is extremely difficult. She wipes and destroys whatever phone she's using whenever she leaves a particular country or region, and only makes calls when she can get an encrypted connection.

She once smuggled Medical Supplies to West Africa, when she came under attack by a group of Mercs. William's group. After recognizing Amaya, he chooses to kill and/or knock out his comrades knowing that she only smuggles Medical supplies. Big enough favor

Fair enough.

[The Ik Ka Ek Akai]

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.

[spoiler=App]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.

[Soviet Farm]

Shameless copy of my first app.
Nation Name: Soviet Farm
Character Name: Elijah West( Usually goes by a pseudonym)
Nationality: American
Affiliation: Highest Bidder
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Species: Genetic and Cybernetic Enhanced Human
Appearance: Elijah weighs 210 pounds, and is 6'7. He has light brown skin, and jet black hair. His most noticeable features besides his height are his eyes, the left one is silver, and the right one is red, and has a scar over it. He typically covers them with aviators, partly to make it harder to give a description, and partly out of self consciousness. He wears specially made leather jackets with body armor sewn into them, with full size armor under as a precaution, and jeans with black combat boots, along with black leather gloves.He also has an old army rucksack, in which most of his gear, including a gas mask is stored.
Personality: Elijah has no sense of morality, and is a media fly diagnosed psychopath. He can seem kind, charming, angry, envious, sad, or whatever the occasion calls for, but in reality he's faking it.
Weapons: He has a specially made katana, forged out of a mix of Damascus steel and titanium, along with an assault rifle he stole from a gangster. His sidearm is a custom made LeMat revolver, with an underbarrel designed to fire 12 gauge shells. He also has a canister of mustard gas, as a last ditch weapon.
Strengths: Has spent most of his life training, and is in peak physical condition. He's skilled with almost all known weapons, and has a special talent in making plans on the fly. His enhancements give him the strength to lift 200 pounds with ease, the endurance to easily run a mile in four minutes, and the intelligence to remain a step ahead most people.
Weaknesses: Once he has a set plan, he's prone to ignoring advice, and not paying attention to his allies suggestions. His height makes him a target, and people have easier times describing him. He also attracts unwanted attention with his brutal methods. And despite all his enhancements, he's still vulnerable to bullets, poison, fire, long falls, and whatever else would conceivably kill a human.
Profession: Mercenary/Hitman
Character History: Elijah West was born into a wealthy family in Malibu, and lived a sheltered early life. His formative years were spent surrounded by weaponry, thanks to his fathers arms manufacturing business. Over time, he gained familiarity with all types of weaponry, and took up boxing, jiu jitsu, and Krav Maga, all of which he excelled in. At age 17, he suddenly cut ties with his family, and joined a PMC, and served till age 21 as a mercenary. He left the PMC, believing that he could make more money working on his own. He has no home, preferring to travel around the world, to make him harder to pin down.
Character's Role in the Plot: He'll work for the highest bidder, but at the same time attempt to snatch some level of control for himself.
RP Example: [b]Miami, Florida
Elijah strolled calmly toward the dingy bar, as if it was his business. The bored looking bouncer that stood outside the dirty building glared at him. "You're not a regular. Get out." Elijah smiled. "You're right. I'm not a regular. I'm simply a courier, with a package for your boss" He held out the sword encased in an all black sheath, and slid out two inches of metal, allowing it to shine in the moonlight. The bouncer squinted confusedly. "I was told that you'd look different." Elijah sighed. "Ah. yes. My eyes. I was hoping I could avoid showing them. If you insist" He took off his aviators, allowing the bouncer to catch a glimpse of the one red, and one silver eye. "Apologies, sir. Just a precaution" Elijah ignored him, and walked in.

He glanced around, allowing his eyes to adjust to the dimly lit room. At the bar in a weathered looking jacket was a young punk surrounded by a motley looking crew of teens serving as bodyguards, attempting to hook up with the woman next to him. As he got closer, Elijah heard the conversation. "This is my bar ya know.If you go out with me, I could get you some free beer. Oh, hold that thought." The punk turned toward Elijah. "Ah, Mr. Smith. I trust you have my package?" Elijah nodded, and held out the sword and sheath. "Right on man. I believe that costs me 10,000. Here, with something extra for you." As he reached out to grab the sheath, Elijah whipped the blade out, and stabbed one of the teens. Before they could react, he drew his revolver, and fired five times, killing the remaining bodyguards, and fired the underbarrel at the bartender, before planting the blade in the punks foot. As the crowd fled, he leaned in to the punk. "You owe my current employer a lot more than that. Roughly 90,000 more I believe." The punk shook in both pain and fear, and whimpered out"Please! I can have the money back in a week, I swear!" Elijah shook his head. "But you know very well that the money isn't the problem. Silas would've lent you that money himself if you asked. The problem is that after he treated you like a son, and set you up with your own turf, you double crossed him, as if he wouldn't notice that the guns were faulty." And Elijah quickly withdrew the katana from the foot, and beheaded the young punk. As he walked out, he noticed the petrified looking bouncer edge away, and take off.

[spoiler=will this work]

No it won't
I restructured the plot heavily so that there are only 3 arcs all leading up to one final climax. You should edit your character to reflect the changes.

I'm not quite sure how the new story format actually affects the app in any way, since the only part that would be affected (the background/bio) takes place entirely before the start of the rp, and the history does not seem to be changed.

Why is everyone doing Merc characters? Like does nobody truly want to rule the world with an iron fist? Or destroy the world for shits and giggles?

"No, Bureaucrat-man! You've forced me into overtime work! Curse you!"

Seriously though, which side of the conspiracy?

Probably anti conspiracy overall. He works for the Sino-Russian government overseeing weapons research based on alien tech in Antarctica, and will ICly realize the development is going towards helping the conspiracy. He will realize what it is, and use his bureaucratic abilities to try and take it down.

[Lunas Legion]

Nation Name: Lunas Legion
Character Name: Erika Von Reinach
Nationality: German (European Federation)
Affiliation: 'The Conspiracy', Control Faction
Gender: Female
Age: 86
Species: Genetically Augmented Human
Appearance: Here.
Personality: Erika is a calm, careful and collected individual, rarely letting emotion beyond simple disdain show to others. Arrogant if pressed right, with a colossal ego. Extremely narcissistic, athiestic and materialistic. Often prone to acts of cowardliness if backed into a corner.
Weapons: Erika rarely wields weapons, as in her opinion, if she has to fight, she's already lost the war. However, she carries an experimental 'plasma revolver' for personal defence, which can be overloaded to act as a one-use powerful grenade.
Strengths: Erika has phenomenal resources as head of the Reinach Conglomerate, one of the largest genetic research corporations in the world, and has been genetically modified extensively, including near-immortality, heightened senses and heightened reaction speed.
Weaknesses: Erika, for all her genetic modifications, is not a fighter. In any fair one on one firefight against a non-baseline human, she will lose as a matter of when, not if. Obviously, she tries not to get into fair fights, or fights at all for that matter.
Profession: Head of the Reinach Conglomerate.
Character History: Erika was born in 2032 in Leipzig, Germany, to a pair of biology professors, Klein and Sabine Von Reinach. They played a vital role in the initial advances caused by the Absolution's crash, pioneering the use of genetic modification. Erika was one of their first cases, narrowly missing out on being the first genetically-modified baby to be born by a few weeks.

Their work led to the founding of the Reinach Conglomerate, which became one of the leading companies for genetic augmentation. This position led them to become one of the founding members of The Illuminatus, believing that humanity needed to be saved from itself through adversity; namely, the removal of the crutch of technology. They were later killed during an attack by religion-motivated naturalists when she was 16, and after their death Erika filled their place in The Illuminatus' council.

As a member of The Illuminatus, Erika was responsible for it's European operations, as well as the majority of it's Research and Development personnel, although the majority of the funding and resources were provided by others. Although originally continuing her parents ideals of liberating humanity from it's self-induced technological prison, she eventually discarded those ideals in favour of something that appealed far more to her; uniting the planet under herself. She never considered the implausibility of such a task; she was going to do that, by any means necessary, at any cost to everyone else.

Erika  also expanded the Reinach Conglomerate, devouring a wide variety of smaller companies across numerous sectors, while building up her influence within the European Confederation's government via any means available.

The shift towards a more egotistical end goal, combined with the more religious and occult leanings of other members of The Illuminatus, eventually contributed to the formation of the two blocs; Cleanse, and Erika's own 'Control' bloc. Although there were tensions between the two blocs, cooperation continued until Cleanse attacked a meeting of the upper echelons of the Control bloc in Paris. With most of the Bloc's high-ranking figures killed, and Erika herself barely surviving the blast, Erika assumed personal control over the vast majority of the Control faction's assets as she has attempted to fight back with varying degrees of success.

Character's Role in the Plot: Head of the 'Control' faction of The Illuminatus, Arc 2
RP Example: You remember me, right?

Theme Song: The Everlove- Cities in Dust

She's not even a merc/fluid. She's an ex-Knesset agent, a civilian now by all means. It's also gonna be hard to limit merc characters when such people are like 1/3 the spine of cyberpunk as a whole.

Like, having a secret conspiracy is fine, but...it's a secret. There can't be an organized resistance if nobody knows about it.

She's not even a merc/fluid. She's an ex-Knesset agent, a civilian now by all means. It's also gonna be hard to limit merc characters when such people are like 1/3 the spine of cyberpunk as a whole.

Like, having a secret conspiracy is fine, but...it's a secret. There can't be an organized resistance if nobody knows about it.

Alright then you made your case.
Your accepted.

[The Ik Ka Ek Akai]

Nation Name: Lunas Legion
Character Name: Erika Von Reinach
Nationality: German (European Federation)
Affiliation: 'The Conspiracy', Control Faction
Gender: Female
Age: 86
Species: Genetically Augmented Human
Appearance: Here.
Personality: Erika is a calm, careful and collected individual, rarely letting emotion beyond simple disdain show to others. Arrogant if pressed right, with a colossal ego. Extremely narcissistic, athiestic and materialistic. Often prone to acts of cowardliness if backed into a corner.
Weapons: Erika rarely wields weapons, as in her opinion, if she has to fight, she's already lost the war. However, she carries an experimental 'plasma revolver' for personal defence, which can be overloaded to act as a one-use powerful grenade.
Strengths: Erika has phenomenal resources as head of the Reinach Conglomerate, one of the largest genetic research corporations in the world, and has been genetically modified extensively, including near-immortality, heightened senses and heightened reaction speed.
Weaknesses: Erika, for all her genetic modifications, is not a fighter. In any fair one on one firefight against a non-baseline human, she will lose as a matter of when, not if. Obviously, she tries not to get into fair fights, or fights at all for that matter.
Profession: Head of the Reinach Conglomerate.
Character History: Erika was born in 2032 in Leipzig, Germany, to a pair of biology professors, Klein and Sabine Von Reinach. They played a vital role in the initial advances caused by the Absolution's crash, pioneering the use of genetic modification. Erika was one of their first cases, narrowly missing out on being the first genetically-modified baby to be born by a few weeks.

Their work led to the founding of the Reinach Conglomerate, which became one of the leading companies for genetic augmentation. This position led them to become one of the founding members of The Illuminatus, believing that humanity needed to be saved from itself through adversity; namely, the removal of the crutch of technology. They were later killed during an attack by religion-motivated naturalists when she was 16, and after their death Erika filled their place in The Illuminatus' council.

As a member of The Illuminatus, Erika was responsible for it's European operations, as well as the majority of it's Research and Development personnel, although the majority of the funding and resources were provided by others. Although originally continuing her parents ideals of liberating humanity from it's self-induced technological prison, she eventually discarded those ideals in favour of something that appealed far more to her; uniting the planet under herself. She never considered the implausibility of such a task; she was going to do that, by any means necessary, at any cost to everyone else.

Erika  also expanded the Reinach Conglomerate, devouring a wide variety of smaller companies across numerous sectors, while building up her influence within the European Confederation's government via any means available.

The shift towards a more egotistical end goal, combined with the more religious and occult leanings of other members of The Illuminatus, eventually contributed to the formation of the two blocs; Cleanse, and Erika's own 'Control' bloc. Although there were tensions between the two blocs, cooperation continued until Cleanse attacked a meeting of the upper echelons of the Control bloc in Paris. With most of the Bloc's high-ranking figures killed, and Erika herself barely surviving the blast, Erika assumed personal control over the vast majority of the Control faction's assets as she has attempted to fight back with varying degrees of success.

Character's Role in the Plot: Head of the 'Control' faction of The Illuminatus, Arc 2
RP Example: You remember me, right?
--------EXTRA--------

Theme Song: The Everlove- Cities in Dust
Likes: Herself, and anything related to herself.
Dislikes: Religion and spiritualism, anyone who vaguely implies they're better than her.
