conversations.value: *I have no choice but to pretend that I'm a warrior who knows no fear.*
  
  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.from: human
conversations.value: Intellect: 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.from: human
conversations.value: Pressure: 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.

conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Only one thing left to lose: 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.from: gpt

conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Cold: You refuse to show your emotions to your team, any of the time. You keep your distance, stay professional. Totally disconnect yourself from them. It's all for their sake, but such things can hurt people in ways one may not expect.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The face underneath: You put on a brave face for everyone else, but when you're alone, the mask comes off. And it's not a pretty sight.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Short Fuse: You look calm on the outside, but you've got a hair-trigger temper. It's scary how quickly you can pass from calm to enraged...and how little clues there are to your actual mood.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Action Oriented: Who the hell wants to sit around all day when there's a war on? You'd rather be doing something. Productive or not.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Determined: When things get hard, or start to weigh you down, you focus on your goal, and that is it: It sometimes makes it easier to keep going. Whatever happens, you will not allow anything to get in the way of your goals - If you have the chance to stop it of course. 
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Scarred: Perhaps not physically scarred, but certainly mentally scarred. Seeing the invasion from 'Ahriman' firsthand still haunts you, and that feeling of powerlessness has rooted itself deep inside your mind. If you feel that special kind of powerlessness again, you may just give up.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Ready for anything: Who cares if it's impossible, or unexpected, or unbelievable. You have a way to deal with it anyways.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Martial Arts: You are highly skilled at several different martial arts. Your very body is a weapon.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Get Revenge: You're not particularly sure what kind of revenge yet - Things aren't particularly clear in your head right now. All you know is that you want to get revenge on the thing that made you feel this way, and took away your happiness - Whatever that may be. Once you discover it, however, you're sure you'll make it *suffer.*
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Protect without Hesitation: You are the shield. You are the wall. Nothing else matters. You won't lose a team member, not while you can draw breath. Not a single one.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Echoes of Loss: You've lost people before...and now it seems you may have again. The weight of failure crushes your soul. Even now, can you not protect anyone?
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Irritable: A bad mood, much like temper, is quick to arrive and slow to leave. It will take time and isolation to return to a normal temperament, but both are in short supply.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Nerd's Attention: You might not be a genius, but since you put attention in class, you have an edge when it comes to certain knowledge and theory.
