did not realize we were doing this, I thought it was merely a potential one, dont ask why. I'll tweak my backstory abit, perhaps simply deciding to take a chance on earth in the hopes of finding something worth a functioning body/home

same basic concept though, but if infomorph just wont work let me know and I'll make up a new character

[Aldurin]

Actually I'm gonna pass on this RP, I've got too much going on right now to have time for something this big and complex.

Maybe if another round comes up later I'll consider.

[Steel Shadow]

Good god that was a long read. Lemme know if I've missed stuff.

Overview:

Alyk Sins, a man searching for 7 missing years of his life. An experienced scrapper, specializing in intimidation, information and hacking to get the job done.

Personality:

A friendly and relatively open man until he woke up with a lack the size of Jupiter in his head. These days Alyk's somewhat more cautious. Gaining his friendship isn't hard, but his trust is a rare commodity indeed. Middling between sarcasm and blunt frankness in stressful situations (and when he just feels like being a prick), Alyk still suffers from that old cliche of 'never leaving a man behind', and if it's within his power will protect members of his group as best he can. Some might say this attitude applies to Earth as well, given his remarkable drive to restore the home world to it's former state. He'd argue that rather the place is not only the source of human history, but also holds a phenomenal amount of resources and inhabitable space. It should also be noted that the value Alyk places on individual identity is rather high for an age where you can change anything and everything about yourself. He backs up frequently, and has several contingency plans so he doesn't lose years of his life again.

In short, he's a direct and practical man, calm in combat, even if he's a softie when you get to know him. Getting between him and his goals is generally a bad idea.

History:

Rough draft is go:

While he wasn't on earth during the Fall, being one of the minority that managed to get off the planet before things went south, he damn well wanted the place back. It wasn't that long before he ended up with the reclaimers, and he's earned his keep since then (Including the possibility of at least one trip down and back...). Or has he?

2 years ago Alyk woke up in a fresh sleeve remembering nothing of the past 7. Why and how are a mystery. Official sources claim there was some sort of Error with his backups. Odds of this being true are low. Alyk was, and continues to be, obsessive about his backups, and had more than a few fail safes just in case. All of them had failed, or been removed, even ones he was sure only he would know about. Clearly he had been doing things during the missing years, a search of the mesh would reveal any number of projects and the like he had been involved with. Contacts would recall meetings, friends would recall nights out, but none of them held answers. Just what was in those 7 years? It was a question he couldn't ignore. Subtly, he began to investigate.

That's been his main motivation of late, but caution takes time, and he still needs to keep his Credit up. The reclamation of earth is still a topic close to his heart, so he works towards that most of the time, when he worrys he's attracting the wrong sort of attention in his investigations.

Goals:

In no particular order:

Goal 1: Find your memories

Goal 2: Save Earth, become big damn hero.

Goal 3: Pay the bills

Roles:

Alyk's a skilled investigator with a multitude of contacts and skills to suit the job. He's up to date and eager for a chance to pay the home world a visit, and has the skills (and possibly the experience) to increase the likelihood of the mission going well, even if everyone's a corpse walking on the earth. An experienced fighter and generally a sharp man who knows when to keep his mouth shut, with a reputed knack for cutting to the truth of the matter, Alyk's a useful man for a variety of situations for both the earth mission and Firewall.

Okay, I made some changes to Anika's stuff. Take a look at them if you want, Arhra.

[Sifright]

Name : Phrike Epiales

Overview: Phrike is a man after his own past while looking to the future of all.

Personality: Idealist with a pragmatic streak. Calm and genial describe most of Phrike's action but in stressful situations it can be very hard to know how he will act with responses ranging from calm professionalism to acts of extreme rage. Phrike's ego is made from input from two other egos scrambled together into a infantile state during his time in the Futura program Phrike learnt to be secretive and very very careful. Since the program shut down however Phrike has managed to become much more open although he is still guarded.

History: Phrike didn't exist before the Fall, not that this stops him from having memories from before. As a Lost he was vat grown and reared, his ego an odd juxtaposition of several lives fused together through chemical, sensory and psionic stimulation. The few years since his release from the Futura Project have seen him join the Argonauts, pursuing a cause he believes in very strongly. Phrike's memories of times before the Fall are jumbled and hard to sort, when trying to view his memories in chronological order his memories shift from 'life' to 'life'. In some he is a soldier participating in warfare exercises and training, in others he is a scientist. For Phrike these memories are deeply confusing and hard to deal with: he understands much of what he views in these memories, but the memories come with feelings and thoughts that feel both alien and at times painful. Thankfully he has his specialist muse to help him deal with these memories, which has been with him since before the Futura program was shut down.

Goals: Phrike initially had few goals beyond survival after the Futura program was shut down. However with the Argonauts giving him membership to protect him from the hypercorps Phrike now has many goals in line with the Argonauts themselves. He seeks to ensure all morphs are treated equally and that knowledge be available for all. However Phrike does have one particular aim that perhaps the Argonauts don't wish to pursue: he wants retribution from the person in charge of the Futura Project.

Roles: Phrike is a skilled async who has many contacts within the Argonauts, despite or perhaps because of his brief existence. The mission to Earth would be the perfect chance to recover technology to arm transhumanity with the tools needed to recover from the Fall. Phrike has many skills that could help on this mission ranging from infiltration to technical.

Right well there is my character is possibly not final depending on a talk with Krylo, but i can't see to much changing.

[Teal Mage]

Looked at the book, decided I'm not interested.

Have fun everyone!

[Arhra]

HELLO PEOPLE IT IS THE TIME FOR THE MOMENT WHERE THE SELECTIONS ARE MADE

Teal and KP have told me they'll be dropping, so obviously they're out of the running.

So for our list of definitives:

Krylo
Overcast
PhoenixFlame
Sifright
Steel

Now Dracorion and Geminex, you have put me in an interesting position. I think your characters have some of the least long term development potential, but you have been quite involved so far. Therefore for the potential last slot you will be fighting to the death for my amusement.

So just to make things simple, why should I pick you?

Now unfrotunately I am going to be quite busy for some time, therefore definitive rule changes will not be able to be put out for at least a week.

Instead we will be discussing some more about the characters for the moment. I'm putting together a little questionaire, it's mainly intended to just get you guys thinking about things you might not have otherwise.

[Aerozord]

...why is it whenever someone makes a list of yays and nays I'm always never mentioned

[Arhra]

Because it is purely a list of yays.
