  The day the skies were torn apart, we knew that our old lives were a thing of the past. We were no match for the horrors that came from beyond, and millions died every day. We faced the end of our existence, and lost all hope.
  
  As a last resort, our government agreed on the experimental Tennō project. It was supposed to create heroes and save mankind through the most advanced military technology available, a suit of neurally-controlled power armor.
  
  It was a tragic failure. War heroes, engineers, the best men the country had to offer, they all died as the armors' neural network destroyed their brain. The remaining armies and cities soon capitulated until only Tokyo was left.
  
  In desperation, the project began experimenting on the refugees swarming the city, and finally found a way. Teenagers under the age of 16 were able to meld with the suit's systems without suffering from excessive neurological damage. They were going to be the heroes everyone was waiting for. The last hope of mankind.
  
  What they were soon to learn was that the life of a hero is not an easy one.

  Our Destiny is a character-driven Sci-fi / horror story for 3-5 players. It's going to be extremely dark: expect great amount of suffering, physical and emotional. It's likely you will die, or completely lose your mind.
  
  I'm looking for troubled individuals with interesting personalities above all else. 
  
  Remember to describe both your character's public persona and their real self. The perfect hero that everyone loves and admires, and the flawed individual on the verge of despair.

conversations.value: For some, anger is self-destructive. For you...it keeps you going. It makes you fight harder. It pushes you to exceed your limitations. It keeps you from dwelling on the consequences of your actions. Healthy? No. But it keeps you alive...for now.

conversations.value: Love.  Desire.  Intimacy.  It's what trapped your parents in a loveless marriage.  It's why your older sister had a teenage pregnancy and your older brother's skirt-chasing.  You never understood the point or the need... until now.  
  
  Suddenly, there are these feelings, urges, desires - you have to fight them.  Or flee them.  You can't give in.

  The armor is comforting.  The computer is rational.  It does not care.  Even if it invades her head, it does not try to invade her emotions.

conversations.value: To put it simply: You don't think you matter. You often forget to take care of yourself, not thinking it as a necessity - you don't deserve it, of course. The others simply matter more than you, and you know this. Though this may make you seem overly caring, it certainly isn't good for your mental health, or physical health, especially in a battle.

conversations.prefix: Wild:

conversations.prefix: Uncompromising:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're here to kill monsters. And if you kill enough of them, things might be...better. Why waste time with anything else when there are bullets in the chamber and targets in the streets?
conversations.prefix: Bloodlust:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Nothing is infinite. Not even these creatures. At some point there will be a tipping point. They'll run out of numbers, whatever is bringing them will cease, they'l get too scared to continue, whatever works. If you can hold out till then, everything will be fine.
conversations.prefix: End the Tide:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You're tired of suffering and death, so you try to help others to avoid both of them for as long as you can.
conversations.prefix: Compassion:
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: They say that if you don't take care, you'll kill yourself one day. But sometimes, a fast action is better than watching people dying or worse.
conversations.prefix: Reckless:
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: Wild:

  You need to do something to prove yourself worthy of survival.
conversations.prefix: Justify Your Survival:

conversations.prefix: I'm not making this up!:
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Your skills reside mainly within your mind, but the ones found there are often the best. You plan well, yet can improvise in a pinch. You know yourself and your team, like the back of your hand, and you can think like the enemy does. and most important of all, you can think *fast*.
conversations.prefix: Intellect:
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: There's a lot depending on you. The stakes are higher than with anything else, and the job keeps getting harder. You know this, and it's hardly a good thing. It slows you down. It weakens your blows. And soon enough, it'll tear you apart. One can only hope you win before that happens.
conversations.prefix: Pressure:
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Your family is dead. Your home, gone. The entire world you knew is in pieces. There's only one thing left to lose now, and it's what you risk your life to defend. If you fail, all you'll have left is death.
conversations.prefix: Only one thing left to lose:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: These people around you - *your* team - aren't just your friends, they're also your reason to live. You lose them, you lose your will to live.  As a person, you do not matter at all, but your team? They *need* to survive. 
conversations.prefix: Obsessively Caring:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: It doesn't matter if you have to level a city down trying to get to them. It doesn't matter if you crush civilians that didn't heed the evacuation warnings. It doesn't even matter if your sanity or your life is lost. You *will* make sure that your friends survive, and are stable.

conversations.prefix: Focused :
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: No matter how much self control you have you sometimes get ahead of yourself. Self Control is important but sometimes you just have to let go. 
conversations.prefix: Reckless :
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You life is one of service. Like your ancestors you have a purpose and that purpose is to make sure others have a future that they don't have to fight for. 
conversations.prefix: A future for others :
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Possessing a strange certainty, when others think, you act.
conversations.prefix: No Doubts, No Hesitation:

conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You really need to learn restraint, and to assess odds of success realistically.

conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Whatever you do, it'll be extraordinary. No one will forget your name, even if you have to carve it into people's memories cut by cut.
conversations.prefix: Make Your Mark:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You have the ability to think and understand things quickly. You are mentally aware and alert almost all the time. Pressure has little effect on you and in dangerous situations you can find a way to act, be it coming up with a plan, or being spontaneous.
conversations.prefix: Quick Witted:
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Your behaviour distances you from most, meaning people tend to physically avoid you whenever they can. This means you do not have the emotion support to get through the situation that you are in and it merely fuels your inferiority complex. You tend to make others uncomfortable with your speech patterns, you may seem normal at first, but by showing your true colours it may not even be possible for you to sustain a healthy relationship with another. 
conversations.prefix: Isolated:
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Your goal is simple - Give other people the hope they need to strive forward, even if it means becoming a stepping stone yourself. Even if you consider yourself worthless, even if your behaviour is outright deranged at times, you live to spread hope to others. How you do it may be unconventional or even confusing to others, but your methods are your own. Just because you have little hope of your own does not mean you cannot instil the hope you so cherish to see in others.
conversations.prefix: Give Others Hope:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Some call it showing off. You call it 'helping'.
conversations.prefix: Diversionary Tactics:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Your mind is your own. You will not surrender, nor will you be manipulated.
conversations.prefix: Iron Will:

conversations.value: You survived what others did not, and that fact haunts your nightmares and pushes you towards reckless behaviour.
conversations.prefix: Survivor's Guilt:

conversations.value: Other people mind their own business. You usually mind it, too.
conversations.prefix: Nosy:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You are quite in touch with your emotions, allowing you to empathize easily, and to be honest about how you feel - To those that you trust.
conversations.prefix: Sensitive:
conversations.from: gpt
