BIOGRAPHY:

Kenshiro Takemura, current commanding officer of Fireteam Mu, was born on August 26th to the prominent yakuza Takemura crime family in Dotonbori District, Yamato Prefecture, Illium, the capital colony of Mars. The eldest sibling out of three brothers and two sisters, Takemura was bred from a young age as the successor to his father, Hideyo Takemura, and heir to the Takemura criminal empire, which dealt in extortion, piracy, kidnapping, human and controlled substances trafficking, arms dealing, as well as dozens of other enterprises. With major outposts and cells working in nearly every major Martian colony, as well as numerous other locations on Earth, Venus, Mercury, as well as various major moons and orbital trading stations, the Takemura clanowned one of the largest, most important criminal syndicates in the inner system. The young Kenshiro, cushioned in luxury, led an extravagant life of excess. Pampered and doted on as a favorite son by his father, he indulged himself in all manners of vices, gaining a reputation as a playboy and a womanizer. Often skipping class at the elite Sakuranomiya Academy where he received his education as well as the lessons given to him by his yakuza tutors, Kenshiro was seen as reckless and impetuous, as well as disrespectful of his elders. Soon, many began to doubt the fitness of the young master as the heir of the Takemura organization, and a split developed in the group. Meanwhile, Kenshiro, oblivious to the increasing tension around him, continued his foolish ways despite his fathers pleas for Takemura to fill his role as the destined successor to his father's position. On his 21st birthday, events came to a head, and several influential members within the crime family attempted a coup against Hideyo, hiring an armed contingent of Black Sun assassins to eliminate the Takemuras before storming their Illium compound to take over the organization for themselves. However, while Kenshiro did not bother to learn the details of running a criminal organization, he was a talented marksman, and long hours of practice in the firing range and combat experience from training missions had given even Black Sun's group a formidable opponent. In the end, however, the Black Sun team managed to successfully kill his father, mother, his two brothers, and his elder sister, at the cost of four out of six of the androids. As he stood amid the broken corpses of his family, pleading for his life, the squad leader, an android called Seonangsin, took pity on him. Before the traitorous yakuza bosses stormed the building, the android decided to spare him and took him away before the traitor army could capture him.

Kenshiro arrived at the Black Sun Illium Facility a broken man. His family was near gone, his younger sister, the only one he had left, had gone into hiding without a trace, and the empire his father had worked so hard to build was in ruins. Seonangsin was severely reprimanded for going against orders, but nonetheless, he defended his decision, arguing that Kenshiro's marksman skills would find great use with the Black Sun Security Division. Administration, intrigued by the case, decided to extend a recruitment offer to him. Furious at Black Sun for murdering his family but even more eager to gain his revenge, Kenshiro, after much debate, decided to join. After a battery of training and aptitude tests, he was assigned to the Special Operations Section, serving under Fireteam Sigma, a specialized dedicated marksman squad. He would not have to wait long. Soon after the coup, hundreds of rival gangs and groups, seeing the disturbance as a chance to strike at an old enemy and secure a slice of the Takemura's power, placed a flood of new contracts and hits on the coup plotters. Black Sun, eager to get rid of the disgruntled traitors, who were complaining that Black Sun didn't complete their end of the contract by allowing Takemura to live, assigned several squads, including Fireteam Sigma, to deal with the problem. Eager for vengeance, Kenshiro spent the next two years methodically dismantling the Takemura crime family, personally placed his scope on the backs of many of the yellow bellied, treasonous cowards that had, in their arrogance and wickedness, killed his brothers and sisters in cold blood. At the end, one of the largest criminal syndicates that had ever existed had disappeared, with most of it's members either dead or working as freelance mercenaries in the obscure backwaters of the outer system.

Kenshiro Takemura had finally had his revenge. However, without another target to kill, an enemy to destroy, he was a man without a purpose. Slowly shuffled up the ranks, and without the rage that had driven him on before, Takemura became a cynical, bitter, hollow shell of his former self. He was barely on speaking terms with most of his co-workers, and his only true friends were his old squadmates at Fireteam Sigma and, though he hated to admit it, Seonangsin, the android that had assassinated his family two years prior, had also become one of the few people he could place his trust in. However, after a disastrous operation against the NSF in which nearly half the squad were eliminated after an informant had leaked details on the mission beforehand, Fireteam Sigma was disbanded, and it's surviving members were scattered across the Section. Kenshiro only became more miserable. Seonangsin was promoted to the administrative security detail, and recalled to Terra to be stationed earthside permanently. Takemura spent his nights drinking alone. After numerous cases of insubordination and drunken brawls against the members of every squad he was sent to, he finally found a place as the squad leader of Fireteam Mu, where an old Fireteam Sigma member managed to keep his temper in control enough to make him manageable. However, Black Sun had become tired of his unprofessional attitude and sloppy work ethic. After accidentally crash an expensive prototype aircraft while black out drunk, he was censured by administration, had his pay docked, was forced to pay a heavy fine for damaging Black Sun property, and was demoted to instructor for a year as punishment. Disgraced and furious, he took out his resentment at the company on the recruits he was now forced to babysit, sending many of them on dangerous missions with no combat experience or forcing them into grueling physical training exercises for "experience". Even though he made sure none of the recruits under his watch were too grievously injured, the Security Division heads that had been monitoring him were extremely displeased, as he was doing nothing but driving away cadets and giving the company a bad name. After multiple warnings, Kenshiro was close to being fired and discharged from the Division outright, but before that could happen, he met Mei Baitu, who would become one of his star pupils, most trusted subordinates, and eventually, his closest friend. Seeing his younger self in the lonely young woman who had no place to call home, he took her under his wing, giving her a place to stay and paying for her training expenses. As he watched her slowly struggle through the course, Takemura promised himself that, no matter what, Mei would not go down the same self destructive path that he took, and that he would make her a better soldier than he ever was. Under his training, Mei excelled, and soon, Takemura began to show signs of improvement as well. After an alcohol fueled incident with an ATV where he nearly killed Mei and sent seven cadets to the hospital, he never touched another bottle. He learned to keep his temper in check, and the students under his charge became to improve dramatically. By the end of the year, the Division leaders had commended him for his work and fully reinstated him as leader of Fireteam Mu, with Mei as the newest member of the squad. Once again, his old drive and talent that had gotten him into the Special Operations Section now propelled him back up the ranks, with Mei by his side. Within 3 years, he became Special Operations Director, the highest office within the Section. However, such a time of peace cannot last in a field as turbulent as that of assassination.

While taking a hyperrail train on routine business trip to Illium, Takemura received a classified report from Black Sun intelligence about a possible threat to his life by a cell of NSF operatives within the Section. However, he noticed that one of the names, that of the NSF handler that directed the cell, could not be right. It was his own. In shock, he could only sit and wait, unable to move even though he knew a bomb was right under his seat. He refused to accept it. It could not be true. It was not true. The intelligence report must be wrong. He got his answer when the bomb he knew did not exist detonated beneath him, tearing his body to ribbons with deadly shrapnel. By the time the Black Sun Emergency Response Team had arrived, Takemura was a soggy pile of bloody meat, barely holding onto life. He drifted in and out of consciousness for the next three weeks as Black Sun doctors, cyberneticists, and regenerative medicine experts rebuilt his body from scratch, replacing torn muscle, damaged nerves, and shredded arteries with wires, pistons, and steel. Mei took a generous administrative leave offer to act as his caretaker as Takemura slowly relearned how to walk and see. Over two decades of work in the field had left Takemura too tired to go on, so, against Mei's wishes, he decided to retire. Or so he said. In reality, he would have preferred staying with Mei and Black Sun for the rest of his life if need be, if it were not for one thing: the name on the bomb report. Chiharu Takemura. Youngest sister of the Takemura clan. She had been missing for more than 20 years. Takemura had assumed that alone, she was by now either dead or eking out a living in some forgotten rundown district of an outer planet colony, but there she was, a senior NSF officer, intelligence operative, and the person that had directed the plot against his life. A hundred thousand questions had run through his head during his recovery. Why? Where is she? How did this happen? The only answers, he knew, was with her. He had to find her and meet her in person. He was not the only person to know. Black Sun had also known about Chiharu. Approaching the brooding Takemura with a new employment offer, a smiling Black Sun executive explained all that Black Sun had on her: her history, her location, her contacts, associates, and friends, and most importantly, a way to find her. Seeing no other choice, Takemura accepted, and was inducted in the Sanhelios Nano Military Android program as commanding officer of the reformed and repurposed Fireteam Mu, now a specialized black ops force of nanorobotic androids, who's self repairing and molecular deconstruction abilities make them extremely difficult to kill and effective against a wide range of targets. Determined to save his sister, Takemura will stop at nothing to bring down the NSF once and for all, as he had dismantled his own criminal empire decades ago.

I lied. IC isn't going up tonight. Again, I've got an essay to do...

BIOGRAPHY: Artyom Raskolnikov was born to a working class family of mechanized fight vehicle mechanics and technicians on December 29th, 2217. Since he was an infant, he had been taught extensively in the workings and operations of mech suits, often going to his father's factories to observe how they are designed and made. As a result, he started developing a life long love with the field of mech sports, designing his own suit from spare parts at the age of 17. He quickly became known as a hot pilot around the Kaliningrad district, and large crowds would come to see "that boy" who could dance around other mechs like a ballerina and hit as hard as a boxer in the arena. The aspiring young pilot quickly signed up for a local private military mech company, and soon racked up dozens of kills and earned a reputation as a combat ace.

While on a contracted mission for Black Sun, Raskolnikov caught the eye of Security Divison officers, and lured with the opportunity of better pay as well as serving with a rising megacorporation, eagerly joined the 101st Mechanized Heavy Response Company as a scout. Serving with a group of star pilots, Artyom fought for six years, piloting his mech through countless missions and raids against heavily fortified facilities, in vehicle battles, and other situations where the overwhelming force and firepower of the 101st was required. Promoted to squad leader, then platoon leader, he quickly became a decorated veteran of the Black Sun Security Division, earning multiple citations, commendations, and awards for his bravery and competence. Recently, replacing the last commander of the 101st, who had earlier retired, Artyom has been promoted to commanding officer of the company, and Black Sun is confident he will continue leading his unit with distinction.

If it wasn't so against Osiris aesthetics, this would be my mechs - the best mech ever designed imo

Tagging to keep an eye on this. Not going to join for now to avoid getting too busy, but if another RP dies I'll be sure to sign up here.

BIG EDIT: After much consideration, the first post of the IC will simultaneously depict the UN meeting AND the NSF raid on the UN armory. This is to prevent a boring start to the rp which'll slow it down, and I think going right into the action will help us get off to a quick start.

Hey Turm. So it's late my time so don't expect an app like right now but can I get a quick run down of some of the other apps so I don't make anything/anyone which overlaps?

I'll look into the other apps tomorrow when I'm free.

Your basic cyberpunk setup. Be a merc, a corporation worker, a janitor, a pilot, doesn't really matter.

Taking a look at the archive, we see that thus far, we've got two corporate agents, one android assistant, a UN peacekeeper, a megacorp's spec ops division leader, two independent guys, and two members of different squads. Characters can either be attached to an existing megacorporation or go independent, and there's nothing really else to say about it.

At the beginning of the IC, any characters that are attached to a megacorporation attending the UN meeting (the UN is calling all of the corporations it can to sign a contract after a terrorist attack on a space station killed several thousand people) will be going out to repel a NSF raid on a UN armory. Mechs will be involved.

[Free Arctic Territories]

I got all the characters I need for the opening mission and I am ready to go.
