Although Earth-mission probably calls for a nanosubversion-proofed Fury morph, yeah.

Edit: Hey, Neotenic. Whaddyaknow. Musta got it cheap. (Totally did.)

Ugh. Why does every good sign up happen while I'm busy for a few days? It's like you guys do it on purpose. Well, since you're being cool an' all with the sign up selection, I put my name down now too. Working on the concept now!

Overview: Combat Specialist knowledgeable in martial arts, guns and blades. She does security work, and can drive and fix up vehicles.

Personality: Anika likes three things: cats, vehicles and guns, in descending order of liking. As such, her morph is heavily modded to appear cat-like. Despite her appearance, she takes what she does quite seriously, and other people should think twice before laughing at the crazy cat lady with the big guns. She enjoys the thrill of finding new things and visiting new places, which she does when she's not working as a bodyguard or building security. When she needs a quick buck, she performs at bars or sculpts feline effigies.

History: Born on Earth before the Fall, Anika led a poverty-stricken life. Her family was poor, and she lived a mostly lonely life in the slums of Chicago, with little in the way of other children to keep her company. Instead she found herself keeping the company of stray cats. Unable to pull herself up from the ghetto, she signed up with a recruitment office for the U.S. Rangers as a combat engineer, and was just finishing up Ranger School. She was rushed to space shortly after the Fall hit.

She didn't make it.

A backup of hers survived, and she was reinstantiated and indentured to a Hypercorp doing security work, thanks to her previous training. She received decent compensation, and more military grade training with them, including driving patrol vehicles, but she had signed up on Earth hoping to help people, not subjugate them, and so she made her escape as soon as she could. She hasn't regretted the decision since. She acquired her own morph and built herself up, looking for new things in the new age. Drifting back and forth, she's going to do what she wants and enjoy what she wants, damn what anyone else thinks.

Anika once had the misfortune of breaking the nose of a high-rep Jovian on Mars, after he called her a "Disgusting fur ball-coughing little freak, earning her a black mark with the Jovians.

Goals: After her near-permanent death during the Fall, Anika's become obsessed with living her life, and hopes one day she won't have to worry about ego or even morph death. She wants to see and do everything there is in the solar system, the galaxy, and the universe. This doesn�t mean only visiting places no one�s ever been to before, rather it, means doing things she herself hasn�t done, and she won�t accept XP as a substitute.

Roles: Anika has a wide variety of combat skills to pull her through. She can pilot and repair a wide variety of crafts, has a great sense of direction, and heightened perception thanks to her feline enhancements.

I'd go into more detail about the Jovian she punched, but he's going to be her Enemy so I figured I'd let Arhra take care of it, since he's the one that has to control them. Though if you don't like that, just tell me and I'll give you his entire life story.

I realize her combat skills are a little more vague now, but it was silly to specify in the first place since I wasn't entirely decided on what skills to take and Arhra still hasn't announced his modifications to the system.

Overview
Self-important, pre-fall military AGI: part of a running experiment on manpower-scarce base management, evolutionary cluster-AGI, and hyphen distribution methods.

Personality
Generally jocular and egotistical; fond of portraying himself as the greatest of all AGI, but he deeply desires appreciation and acknowledgment of his value from the people he meets, and wants to experience his romanticized version of the (occasionally drunken) esprit de corps he has witnessed but never quite been able to be a part of. He would find himself irrationally insecure around AGI, or even some AI, who can outperform him and can become dour or stoic in such situations. Nonetheless, he has a penchant for loyalty and self-sacrifice.

History
One of many AGIs designed in a joint enterprise between Thought and L� Enterprises, Mitra was one of a small cluster of cooperative AGIs designed to help manage and run various aspects of manpower-lite, isolated, or dangerous installations. The project was ongoing in an Antarctic installation when the Fall happened. Within the chaos, Mitra was instrumental in the evacuation of the complex's staffs and the containment of local exsurgents. After attempts to clear the infected AGI systems failed, Mitra destroyed all methods of external communication and isolated his sectors to await recovery.

He has since been on a picnic!

Goals
Escape, return to humanity, win the infinite adoration of all beings, GET REVENGE ON WORLD

Roles
Damsel in distress is his primary role, followed by indomitable will and unflappable loyalty. Also, like, infosec/interfacing and pre-fall knowledge and shit like that. Whatever.

An AGI sitting on post fall earth all by its lonesome for that long? Screw that.

Flash the drives, burn the facility to the ground, and then drop a nuke on it from orbit. I'M not gettin' no exsurgent infections.

The Kneumatic Pnight · 03-01-2011, 01:29 AM

But, free huuuuuuuuuuugs!

Arhra · 03-01-2011, 05:04 AM

In no particular order, a few random thoughts that occur to me:

1) Is one aware that Motivations constitute a game mechanic?
2) One would not be permitted to participate in runs on Earth of a suicidal nature or otherwise while still indentured to a hypercorp for other services.
3) One's key features are not limited to what skills one possesses.
4) One's skills do not spring fully fledged out of nothingness.
5) Hypercorps have psychoanalysts.
6) Diplomats have guards.
7) Diplomats are diplomatic.
8) I am pleased by most of what I see.
9) Twenty-five is five times five. >> <<
10) I will be providing more information on the Earth run soon.

Because it is frequently infesting the FFRPG edupad, here is one for all your Eclipse Phase needs.

D-don't think it's because I like you or anything, st-stupid!

Stop stealing all my skills. D: Well, I guess beam weapons isn't in that list.

You could also take Clubs.
