				This thread is for Character Sheets <span class="bbc_u"><strong>ONLY</strong></span>, for "Iron Fist For Hire".<br><br>Any discussion of the characters should be done either via PM or on the OOC thread, here. (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=79108.0)<br><br>Anyone wishing to join the RP, please post your request to the OOC thread first. Once the existing players have agreed, then you may post a character sheet here. <br><br>All character sheets are to be of the following format:<br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Name:<br>Actual Age:<br>Apparent Age:<br>Gender:<br>Sexuality:<br>Appearance:<br>Nationality:<br>Languages spoken:<br>Modifications:<br>Specific skills and abilities:<br>Character traits:<br>Bio:<br>Picture(s):<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>Most of the above should be fairly self explanatory, but to clarify a few:<br><br>Actual age is the year 2086 minus whatever year your character was born. This can be anything up to 75. Apparent age can be anything as low as 16. The reason for this is that medical science has advanced to the point where the rich and famous can retain their youthful looks and physical fitness right up until they drop dead. The reason for the 75 year maximum should be obvious - the science hasn't been discovered yet in reality! The 16 year minimum is E's requirement. Personally I would be happier if everyone's apparent age was 18 or more, but if you want to play a 60 year old with the body of a 16 year old, I'm not going to stop you.<br><br>Appearance should be a typed description of what your character looks like. This is mandatory. Partly because it allows you to expand on whatever photograph you can come up with, but mostly because it gives me a chance to see how good you are at describing physical things!<br><br>Nationality should be obvious, but if you want to create a new nation - United States of Europe fore example, please PM me first. Languages are any your character speaks besides English. English is assumed to be the <em>de-facto</em> international language and is spoken by everyone. If your character speaks a foreign language, please make it one that you speak... Equally, if your character speaks in that language in your posts, a translation is required by E's rules. Put it in italics after the speech.<br><br>Modifications: This is where you list everything that is NON-STANDARD human about your character. First thing on everyone's list should be a cranial implant unless (as mentioned elsewhere) you have a very good reason for not having one. List special functions of your implant. Physical modifications, such as cybernetic enhancements or biotech (furry) enhancements are listed here also. If you have any doubts, or want to ask if something is allowable, either PM me or ask in the OOC thread. Asking in the OOC thread is probably better because then everyone gets the benefit of the answer to your question. Please be as detailed as possible with respect to what your modifications can and cannot do, and list any drawbacks or weaknesses they may have.<br><br>Specific skills and abilities: These are what will determine which role you get assigned within the team. Again, please be as detailed as possible. Note that god-mode characters will not be allowed. I want a team that needs each other, not one all powerful super-villain that can work alone. List at least ONE weakness here.<br><br>Character Traits: Again, should be obvious, but please remember we are the bad guys here. Soft, simpery subbies need not apply! That is not to say that your character can't be a sub, just that (s)he needs to have a certain hardness and be prepared to kill if it comes down to it.<br><br>Bio: Not war and peace, but a couple of paragraphs summarising what your character did before they came to Iron Fist. If you want to include something about how they were recruited, that is fine too.<br><br>Pictures can be photographs or art work, but the more realistic the better. I'm not too fussed about the level of attire. If you want to put up a picture of your character stark naked, go for it. If the best one you find is wearing a parka, that's fine too. More than one image is welcome.<br><br>NOTE: Please make sure that your description matches the photo. Probably best to find the picture first. Obviously, modifications are an exception to this, as the photo can be of the character pre-mod.

				<strong>Name:</strong> Major Anne "Rupert" Laughton (Call her "Rupert" to her face, unless you share her bed, and you die!)<br><strong>Actual Age:</strong> 45<br><strong>Apparent Age:</strong> 27<br><strong>Gender:</strong> F<br><strong>Sexuality:</strong> Bi but with a strong lesbian preference<br><strong>Appearance:</strong> 5'5" tall, 34B,25,34. Weight 122 Lbs. Long dark hair, slightly olive coloured skin revealing a Latin bloodline. No piercings. Has a tattoo on her upper left arm of the 22 SAS Regiment's coat of arms.<br><strong>Nationality:</strong> English<br><strong>Languages spoken:</strong> Some French.<br><strong>Modifications:</strong> British Special Ops military grade cranial implant, with full command and control functions, stealthy IFF, a full terabyte of RAM. Her implant has remote targeting software for artillery or air strikes, full stealthy GPS, small-arms targeting. Cranial Interface Jack. Military grade palm interface pad on her right palm. This enables weapons with the correct hand grip to interface directly to her implant without the need for a vulnerable cable or jam-able blue-tooth link. The technology is experimental though and is not as accurate as the more tried methods of interfacing. Eyes modified to see radar or infra-red. Cannot see both at once. Also, cannot see visible light while in either mode.<br><br>Because her implant is a special-ops one, it is untraceable even by the people who made it. This is a security feature because should her superiors be compromised, the ability to track her would compromise her also. Of course this means that, having left the fold, her implant is untraceable by those she left.<br><br><strong>Specific skills and abilities:</strong> Field commander of elites Special Ops commando unit. Excellent tactician. Can be over-confident at times, is far too sure of her own abilities.<br><br><strong>Character traits:</strong> A normally very competent commanding officer. Can be impatient with those around her. Has a temper. Ruthless and highly motivated. Will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Callous and uncaring of others. Can at times be over-confident. Expects nothing less than 150% from herself and from those under her command.<br><br><strong>Bio:</strong> Major Laughton joined the British Army at 18, going to Sandhurst Military Academy and passing out with top marks in everything. She applied for and was accepted into the Parachute Regiment. The war in South Africa saw her distinguish herself in combat, and even though the Southern African Union won and British forces were pulled out, she remained behind with her company to harass the enemy for several weeks before making her way to the coast for pick-up.<br><br>This brought her to the attention of the SAS, who transferred her from the Paras, upgraded her implant and promoted her to Captain, and finally to Major. <br><br>However a change in government in the UK as the world situation deteriorated into anarchy suddenly meant that the British army, and in particular the elite units, were to be cut back. Sensing that she was about to be betrayed by the country she had fought for, Anne Laughton went AWOL, taking a good deal of hardware with her, not least being what was in her head.<br><br>She had her appearance altered, reducing her apparent age and darkening her skin slightly, giving her a more innocent look. She remains on Britain's most wanted list, but is careful to stay under the radar. The lack of any real law enforcement and the virtual disbanding of military forces into private armies funded by rich individuals meant that she has so far escaped capture.<br><br><strong>Picture(s): (Played by...:)</strong><br>(http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2007/12/25/amd_michelle-rodriguez.jpg) (http://batman-porn.com/pictures/michelle-rodriguez-nude/michelle-rodriguez-nude3.jpg)<br><br>*drools over naked piccies of MRod, even if they are faked!*

				<div align="center"><strong>Name:</strong> Nikita Stack<br><strong>Actual Age:</strong> 47<br><strong>Apparent Age:</strong> 31<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Female<br><strong>Sexuality:</strong> Bisexual<br><strong>Appearance:</strong> 5'10", 140 lbs. White skin, a small rose and dragon tattoo on her left bicep.<br><strong>Nationality:</strong> Canadian<br><strong>Languages spoken:</strong> Some French and German<br><strong>Modifications:</strong> Cranial implant, Extra large memory chip implanted below her neck, which allows her to carry more data than the most, X-Ray and night vision implant in her eyes. Beneath her hands, an illegal hologram implant has been fixed an experimental technology considered to put quite the strain on the user's nervous system, allowing her to fire images which often confuse others, usually used in times of trouble.<br><strong>Specific skills and abilities:</strong> Wizard at disguising herself, she can swiftly move in and out of any roles which her job demands. Man, woman, cyborg..it doesn't matter to her.<br><strong>Character traits:</strong> Cool as cucumber, extremely sarcastic she has a careless demeanor..she knows she can get the job done. She doesn't really feel any emotions for anybody, absolutely cold bitch. She doesn't care about others, and is all about finishing the work, however this approach also can make her target for disdain from others. The confidence she has in her abilities can land her in trouble at times.<br><strong>Bio:</strong> Not much is known about Nikita's past, considering she herself has erased, re-erased and changed what she wants others to know about her multiple times. The widely accepted information is, she led a rich life, her parents making incredible amounts of money as virtual reality stars, eventually she embarked in the same at young age of 12 under the name Nora Grace. The life she led, making her engage with the dark side of the life and indulge in it..because with money, came power..and with power you can get away with anything. That's what she liked most. Tired of her controlling parents who had laid out rest of the life for her in advance and not really wanting to live the life of a VR star who would have to live the image depicted of hers in the VR, she embraced the darkness for good as she participated in her first data theft at age of 15, her prodigious acting and disguising talents used in the incident, it was the notorious Datasmoke Incident. Propelling her to the forefront amongst those who were wanted, she fled for good..eventually becoming an expert in weapons over the years due to one difficult job after another. She's usually considered an unlucky member to have in team as often only she has survived out of all those who went in, several of those times she herself cleaned out others.<br><br>She had had her apperance altered several times over the years, often drastically changing how she looked, sometimes because it was a necessity..sometimes because it simply seemed fun. But her current look is something which has been there for the longest, the beautiful face prominently displayed on Most Wanted lists all over the world.<br><strong>Picture(s):</strong> <br>(http://claire.belliard.free.fr/claire_lindbergh/claire_lindbergh3/giflind/linda-08.jpg) <br>(http://claire.belliard.free.fr/claire_lindbergh/claire_lindbergh3/giflind/linda-06.jpg)</div>

				<strong>Name:</strong> Sofia Nilsson<br><strong>Actual Age:</strong> 34<br><strong>Apparent Age:</strong> late teens/early twenties<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Female<br><strong>Sexuality:</strong> Bisexual<br><strong>Appearance:</strong> 5'3",&nbsp; well-sculpted in shape and graceful. Sofia has dark chestnut brown hair, grey eyes and fairly typical nordic light skin. Her eyes are large but heavy-lidded beneath a long fringe, her nose straight and just a tad bulbous, her mouth welldefined. Distinctive marks includes a scar on her left abdomen from a knife wound and very light shrapnel scars on her right shoulder.<br><strong>Nationality:</strong> Northern Union<br><strong>Languages spoken:</strong> Swedish, a modicum of french.<br><strong>Modifications:</strong> Cranial implant with remote detonation build. <br>Cranial Interface Jack. <br>Epinephrine-injectors subdermally positioned by her veins.<br><strong>Specific skills and abilities:</strong> Chemistry and technical physics, bombmaking, long-distance precision shooting, some hand to hand combat and urban guerilla warfare.<br><strong>Character traits:</strong> Once idealistic and at least morally guided Sofia has cast away childish things to become a cynical, ruthless woman. Not an unpleasant person per se but the only thing Sofia wholeheartedly cares about now is Sofia. She can be catty and vindictive, a double edged sword as she doesn't know how to let go of a percieved slight, but most of the time she's simply indifferent towards others and greedy. Vain in the sense that she would highly dislike altering her appearance surgically and she has opted to keep her scars.<br><strong>Bio:</strong> Sofia had a fairly boring bourgeois life growing up in former Sweden as the daughter of an architect and a proffessor of theology while the world around her was turbulent and volatile, especially 2061 when after a brief crisis Finland occupied part of Russia and entered a union with Sweden and Norway. As the wedge between the classes grew it became very popular for teenagers from mostly higher social standings to join Ung Vänster, a marxist and feminist political party for youths, where Sofie met enigmatic Pontus Löfgren whom she thought was as enthusiastic for justice and social reform as she was. In reality he was a 47 year old recruiter to ARN, Anarchistic Revolution Now, which a starry eyed and enamoured Sofia joined with burning conviction. In 2068 Sofia helped to enable the successful assasination of an imperialist dog orchestrated by Pontus as a way of making sure his new recruits couldn't turn him in but they were all too naive to realize it and it wasn't very long before Sofia had actually pulled the trigger herself. But the ARN were quite meticulous, promising members were encouraged to be something alike to weekend-terrorists only, educating themselves or climbing corporate ladders meanwhile. Sofia started studying engineering at the new KTH in Stockholm while spending her weekends with Pontus mostly. She gave ten years of her life to ARN before she figured the truth out, they were nothing but a pawn to the SACC-USA (The Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce USA) and Pontus... Pontus died anticipating it, strapped down with an incindiary explosive wired into his bloodstream with a counter ticking down.<br><br>In 2078 Sofia lived by taking odd jobs in South America before she was truelly recruited as a mercenary. Thanks to her weekend-terrorist past and her role as long distance killer Sofia hasn't made it to a most wanted list yet which makes things easier on her part but she has the nagging feeling that SACC-USA knows very well what she did to Pontus.<br><strong>Picture(s):</strong><br>(http://lh3.ggpht.com/_t4Sdb5muC0M/TGl84GDZbrI/AAAAAAAAAJ4/-36L3xTJy1U/s800/daisy-lowe-photoshoot-uk-esquire-magazine-recorded-july-2010-by-greg-williams-song-tiger-by-maximum-baloon-feat-aku.jpg)<br>(http://lh3.ggpht.com/_t4Sdb5muC0M/TGmPfP0RQkI/AAAAAAAAAKE/4wy_wqBe2dU/s800/daisy-lowe-nude-i-d-02-550x756_80070203.jpg) (http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Sed5celoVYbrxlgro75rxKfV-Mo7x2ddKfltwrZqFo8?feat=embedwebsite)(http://lh5.ggpht.com/_t4Sdb5muC0M/TGl833m0SBI/AAAAAAAAAJw/G7y77hnvjg0/s800/000000183568-daisy_lowe-fullsize.jpg)

(Drawback: sudden, unknown loud noises such as explosions, gunfire, and screams can cause temporary hearing loss, as well as certain ultra high frequency noises may cause auditory hallucination)<br><br>3)cybernetic arm implant/replacement: a multi-use plastic and ceramic reinforced implant that replaces the bone structure of the lower and upper arm, as well as portions of the shoulder for climbing reinforcement. It is nearly undetectable except under very close scrutiny, it contains a small hidden, cylindrical storage compartment (ulna) big enough to hold a couple of small Items (no bigger than two pencils) assessable through a small slit in the lower palm that resembles a small unhealed cut, with a voluntary muscle contraction the tiny mouth 'spits up' all its contents(Drawbacks: all items must be loaded/unloaded at same time and takes about 1 to 3 minutes to put in, take out,) From a second 'hole' closer to the thumb, a micro-grapnel (radius) can be fired, along with it's 15 feet bioresine line, its small, quiet motor can pull up to 170 pounds slowly. (no Batman like quick accents, but not a useless crawl either)(Drawbacks: Takes around 3 minutes for the system to reset before firing again, and the launch of the grapnel itself is rather noisy)&nbsp; A sonar like motion detector is also included within the device, that is linked to the optical overlays of her cranial implant and displays range, direction and speed (femur)the closest five objects within 25 feet. (Drawbacks: Can be confusing/distracting/misread in a busy environment and may cause overheating/shorting, can not penetrate walls/material thicker than 8 inches)<br><br>Specific skills and abilities;<br><br>Primary Skills/Training:<br>lock-picking/safe cracking; from archaic tumblers to high tech key cards no locking mechanism is safe<br>pick pocket/ slight of hand; can 'lift' or 'plant' small objects, or make them 'disappear' or 'reappear' from nowhere<br>disappearing tricks/evasion; can blend into a crowd, give one the slip or hide in near plane sight<br>stealth; the ability to move relatively undetected and unnoticed<br><br><br>Secondary Skills/Training:<br>extensive edged weapon training: knives (including throwing knives, her w.o.c.), daggers and swords all sing&nbsp; silently in her hands<br>explosives training: training in the deployment, types, and use/application of explosives (Can not disarm, modify or manufacture them)<br>surveillance/counter surveillance; skilled observer and can detect being observed as well<br><br>Weak Skills/Training:<br>Hardly ever uses firearms/guns (has minimal training and has a distaste for them)<br>General education is equivalent to the high school level.<br><br><br>Character traits/ Psychological profile:<br>Somewhat Antisocial with Acute Agoraphobia and bouts of paranoia.

Over curious at times.<br><br>Bio:<br>Grew up on the rough streets of LA and turned to crime early, started with gang level petty theft/extortion and quickly graduated to bigger, better things. Was recruited by CIA in her late teens after they took notice of her raw talents. received additional stealth training, including advanced close combat and explosives/demo training, by age 20 she was a full fledged agent, assigned to project ST-i-8 (Shadow Threat - internal -8) and was an operative in a secret war of misinformation and fear among her fellow Americans, the teams viscous attacks include the Mitsubishi tower bombings in Seattle and the Miami bombings and fires of '79 (was a distraction for the hijacking of a forging aircraft later used in a state funded "enemy planed act of terrorism")&nbsp; as well as the theft of weapons grade material from the Nevada proving grounds in '77, there purpose was to add to the levels of paranoia and unsteadiness of the Americas, It led to the passing of the re-militarization and national surveillance act and gained much needed moral support or the governments many global "policing" and "anti-terrorism" actions. In '84 she was sent to Panama City to help shed light on the importance of an American prescience there, unfortunately for her the higher ups had, by this time, viewed her as a threat, she simply knew too much and far to many names, set up and barely able to flee with her life. Her director had no choice but to tell his superiors she was "taken care of" rather than admit failure, this gave her just the amount of slack she needed to resurface with a deep seeded vengeance growing within her, she developed a deserving grudge against her former Agency and all those connected to its profiteering. Shes spent the last few years seeking out and connecting to other like minded individuals and selling her services to the highest bidder, just waiting for the chance to strike back.<br><br>Picture(s):

				***EDIT*** Fleshed out the character some. I wanted to make someone that basically gave over his life to the machine. He'll probably be the most vulnerable to electronic tampering as a result, but it's something that he would have learned to deal with.<br><br>Name:&nbsp; Richard “Oni” Preston<br>Actual Age: 40&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>Apparent Age: 20<br>Gender: M<br>Sexuality: Straight<br><br>Appearance: A slender man just shy of six feet tall, he has remained the age of twenty while retaining a tight musculature with very little exercise. He sports wild hair as both self expression, and to hide his cranial implant. He usually dresses a step below typical urban sheik, deciding to keep the expensive clothes for when he really needs it. Typically seen in Ratty baggy cargo-pants with shirts usually either a few sizes too big, or skin tight<br>Nationality: “American” Citizen<br><br>Languages spoken: natural English speaker. Most spoken languages loaded in his brain and available at his command.<br>Modifications: <br><br>Cranial Implant (custom wireless interface included): Offers direct PnP with anything holding DirectConnect Technology (damn near anything used today) using a “zero” setting that doesn’t limit his ability to connect to other machines as it would a normal citizen.<br><br>Cyber-eye for left eye: Enhanced vision, including telescopic, microscopic, multi-spectrum, and light sensitivity (extreme day or extreme night)<br><br>Soldier-Sol Corp. nanobots (custom): Soldier-Sol Corporation, the leading military manufacturer for warfare products (both hard and wetware) developed nanobots for military use. Primary function is to maximize body/sensory efficiency (perfect right eye vision and higher than average hearing), including nutrition consumption and waste reduction. Secondary function is an increase in muscle density and endurance. Rest periods are used to knit and repair damaged tissue throughout the body. <br><br>The custom application allows for minor repairs of his cybernetic enhancements, providing the damage isn’t extensive enough to require a whole new device. Muscle density protocol runs within acceptable limits, based on body mass and muscle use. Nanobots also use a mode of replication that employs the food eaten by the host as well. If they require more nanobots for a task, the host will experience a larger appetite than usual until the need has been fulfilled. The custom upgrade requires that he sometimes each metals of various types. Nanobots no longer needed flow out with normal waste material.<br><br>Neuro-Net (installed at the cost of childhood memories): The Brain Sorter. A section of wetware installed in his brain to Access and store information in parts of the brain still underused. This allows for a vast amount of data to be immediately stored and recalled, including complex instructions on dance or martial arts, language, and manual machine operations. During extreme moments of electronic feedback, the net acts as a disbursement device as well. This could result in anything from no-change (light feedback), to complete net replacement (which would normally result in a fried brain)<br><br>Neuro-net Firewall and Anti-virus: Corporate issued with a few tweaks done to beef up the settings for his own tastes and situations. Though not as robust as a Military issue suite, the corporate version allows for easier modifications. This allows for much more flexibility than military security suites, and constant upgrading to combat bleeding edge viruses and intrusion techniques.<br><br>Voice-emulator: After almost botching a job that needed voice-identification, Oni quickly purchased this mod to make sure it didn’t happen again. As long as he had a 30 second sample of the voice, he could mimic it. The longer the sample, the more original the sound, right to the point of regional dialect.<br><br>No Fingerprints, due to laser-burn of his fingertips<br><br>Specific skills and abilities: Decker (Hacker) and Cyber-Cowboy Extraordinaire. Makes everyone’s job easier by talking the doors into opening and certain security eyes into closing. If it has wireless access or direct port, he could make contact. If he makes contact, he's in business.<br><br>Secondary skills: Jack-of-all-trades, thanks to his enhancements, but it's no substitute for a person who has a full level of experience in a chosen field. The best example would be the fact that he could perform open heart surgery, provided he had the tools, but he could not adjust that surgery in the even of complications. His ability to perform a downloaded function, is only as good as the information he downloaded.<br><br>Character traits: Oni is an adrenaline junky with a geek’s demeanor. The chance to go fully over to the “Black Hats” was something he couldn’t resist if he tried. Though augmented to display his boyish good looks, it doesn’t hide the depraved side of him for very long. Highly Intelligent, though he keeps it to a casual minimum when interacting with groups, as a way to fit in. Socially adept, with a fear of being an outsider, which constantly clashes with his chosen lifestyle. He wouldn’t consider himself a hypocrite, if asked, merely an individual who has had the chance to fully appreciate the duality within humanity itself. Oni is very sure of himself, to the point of overconfidence in some cases, but has always got the job done…just sometimes not as subtle as it should have been.<br><br>Bio: Much of Richard’s life before his transformation to Oni was erased by the man himself, including a large part of his own childhood memory due to augmentation. One could decide that such a deliberate act could mean that his childhood was especially painful, or his life as Richard wasn’t worth remembering. He has fully accepted his Oni decker alias, and works hard to keep his net cred strong by performing “random acts of art” that he inflicts on certain higher-profile targets, leaving the artistic ancient Japanese calligraphy symbol for “Oni” either in code, or visual graphic form. The Chiba market crash of '63? Him. The infamous vending machine free-for-all of '67? A prank he thought of after a dream about raining snack food. He'd had near-constant solo and group battles for net supremacy to carve out a name for himself. While he earned his rep, he also built up credits, which have paid for his augmentations and rigs over the years, but it was all hollow. Lacking a certain...pizazz. <br><br>Like many other cowboys, he only allowed for computer-related work, until his first freelance job working for someone other than himself and rep.There he saw the meaning of a true rush, as he put his meat on the line along with his tech. The pressure and activity almost broke him, and after the job, he&nbsp; spent his proceeds on the nanobot enhancement, he was back to checking seedy dives and even seedier forums to see who needed what done. It wasn't long before he found Iron First. Then it wasn't long before the Iron Fist Office rigs would be sporting "Oni" symbols as their screen saver. He'd already dropped his card, and even left a convenient trace to a dump of a warehouse far from where he put his head.

				<strong>Name:</strong> Maria Venezuela.<br><br><strong>Actual Age:</strong> 27<br><br><strong>Apparent Age:</strong> 24 - 25<br><br><strong>Gender:</strong> Female.<br><br><strong>Sexuality:</strong> Bisexual.<br><br><strong>Appearance:</strong> Maria is a tall, willowy young woman who stands at 5'7 and weighs about a total of 210 (see <strong>Modifications</strong> for explanation of this) pounds of toned, strong muscles and machinery. She has tanned skin that matches her brown eyes and long, sleek black hair that touches her back. Has a roundish, pretty face with delicate features, a button nose and full, dark red lips. She is 35 C-cup, has a full, perky butt and has curves in the right places of her figure.<br><br><strong>Nationality:</strong> Spanish American<br><br><strong>Languages spoken:</strong> Tagalog and Spanish.<br><br><strong>Modifications:</strong> Cranial implant, with some access to the system to it but not all since the army of Spain restricted it (see <strong>Bio</strong> for explanation of this). Has bionic eyes that now act as an x-ray, scanner, recorder and night vision goggles. Skin toughened and thickened through chemicals and drugs to make it act as a sort of literal armor for her from now on. Retractable metal blades in her arms. Her legs and arms were weighed with metal and armory to make her heavier and her hits harder as well.<br><br><strong>Specific skills and abilities:</strong> Trained excessively in hand-to-hand combat, Maria was mostly groomed for physical combat with the enemies. She knows several forms of martial arts, including how to use different weapons, and also how to use fire arms with deadly accuracy. She also knows first aid and medicine as well. Due to the fact she was groomed (see <strong>Biography</strong>) to simply be muscle, it is obvious she doesn't know many 'mental' abilities like hacking computers or creating weapons or defusing bombs or any sorts like that.<br><br><strong>Character traits:</strong> Maria is, despite her job and upbringing, is a soft-spoken and sweet girl if paranoid about the intentions of those around her. She is devoted and loyal to anyone who is nice to her, pathetically so if you think about it. She works hard to pull her own weight, knowing that she isn't that helpful from time to time besides bring the 'strong person'. Though born in a religious family, she wasn't that close to the religion and is open minded to a lot of things instead. And do I mean <em>open</em> minded.<br><br>Maria is a bit dim, forever stuttering and wide-eyed if you ask her a question about math or chemistry, but makes up for it with her determination (bordering to stubbornness from time to time) and her willingness to follow other people's orders. Surprisingly, she's an optimistic, affectionate (very much so) and open-minded girl who thinks life gets better soon enough if you work hard enough for it and wait long enough.<br><br><strong>Bio:</strong> Was born in 2059, Maria lived a semi-normal life in Spain with her family until she was 18-years-old, when the country entered a war with another country for something that has been long forgotten among the people. The fighting ravaged the country, making inflation go up and commodity a thing of the past as people struggled to get by. In an effort to help her family to get by, she enrolled in the army for the promised money and was selected for Spain's attempts to have a secret super soldier program that the world wouldn't know about and have 'big guns' for any battles they had. <br><br>They implanted her with the modifications she has today and educated and trained her in order to make her the person they wanted her to be. The latest implant they wanted to do to her, jet implants set into her back, was a risky move that could kill her. The drugs they put Maria on for preparation of surgery made her constantly sick and ill and feared it would kill her somehow and the slim chances of the surgery being successful didn't help. She broke out of the base she was hidden in in the year 2080 at the age of 21.<br><br>Has been working as a mercenary or a robber from the rich ever since, only contacting her family far and between in order to not danger them. Maria went to the UK in 2083 since it was one of the few countries that she could go without anyone noticing her there and were still in bad terms with Spain, so they couldn't fork her over if they ever did find out about her existence.<br><br>Picture: Seen here (http://www.rjgeib.com/thoughts/dark/dark2.jpg).

				<strong>Name:</strong> 'Doc' Earnest Shaw<br><br><strong>Actual Age:</strong> 47<br><br><strong>Apparent Age:</strong> 25<br><br><strong>Gender: </strong>Male<br><br><strong>Sexuality: </strong>Bisexual<br><br><strong>Appearance:</strong> Only five foot seven tall, Earnest has a slim build, but his body is nicely toned from regular work out. He has strong arms in particular, with long thin fingers. He has black wavy hair, which goes down to his shoulders and is usually tied back in a simple pony tail. A long thin scar runs down from his left eye. Both his eyes have been replaced by bionics, so the iris is a unnatural electric blue colour. He has a few piercings, two located in more interesting areas. As well as a Tattoo on his central back between his shoulder blades of a rather unique design. ( something like this but the other way up (http://aetarianavenger.deviantart.com/art/The-Chameleon-Tattoo-16246351?q=boost%3Apopular+neck+tattoo&amp;qo=16)<br><br><strong>Nationality: </strong>British<br><br><strong>Languages spoken:</strong> English<br><br><strong>Modifications:</strong> cranial implant, bionic eyes with zooming capability, night vision and&nbsp; heat detection fuctions.<br><br><strong>Specific skills and abilities</strong>: Quick fingers which help in fast shooting, can use any gun put in his hands, quick at aiming, is also a fully trained doctor, though terribly out of practice.<br><br><strong>Character traits:</strong> chews on cocktail sticks, likes to go with the current fashion trends in youths so is generally wearing whatever is in style as he likes to dress well. Sometimes wears mascara and eye-liner. Has surprisingly good hearing and sense of balance, and he prides himself on his natural abilities. Is also a little obsessive about some things once his mind is put to it.<br><br><strong>Bio:</strong> Earnest was born blind into a rather rich family, his father being a politician and his mother a model. He learned to read and write blind, but when he was ten he got his first operation which installed bionic eyes, back then they were simple prototypes which were completely colour blind. But it enabled him to see for the first time ever which started his passion for the medical field as afterwards he would spend countless hours in hospitals with check-ups or even getting replacements installed with the latest models.<br>So no surprise that he went to learn medicine at Oxford university and by the age of twenty five he was a fully qualified doctor, and being a war going on at the time he'd graduated he decided to go out to be a medic on the field which is where he got his basic military training.<br>Out there he saw such horrors on the field he lost all interest in being a doctor. There was something about trying to rearrange what remained of a dead body, whether it be a scattering of mooshed limbs and singed flesh or a decapitated body where the head was never found, not to mention the soldiers attitudes... everything about the job just made his passion for anything medical shrivel up and die.<br>After several months at the job, his base got captured by the enemy, and he was held for six months as a hostage while his home government bartered to get him and the other hostages back. Every day living in terror of his own impending death, which wasn't helped by the fact that they stole his eyes, and occasionally killing off other hostages.<br>But eventually he was released with the other few survivors and sent back home, where he found his father had ended up in prison for fraud and goodness else what and there committed suicide, and his mother drunken herself to death on Martini's with too many younger pool boys. Surprisingly little remained of his family fortune, enough to buy himself the best model eyes his could afford for the time, and weapons. In his determination to never be put in a vulnerable position like he'd faced out there on the front he decided to become an expert in weaponry, and he would be the one to put others in that situation. He started off simply as a hit man, not caring any more for morals, he just needed money. With the money he earned, he used to spend of practising with fire arms, going through each one at a time until he could shoot with complete accuracy with each one. Advancing quickly onto sniper rifles once learning there was more money in such things and that his bionic eyes would come in handy. After several years of pure devotion to this cold career as an assassin for hire he soon became known in the dark circles as one of the best, driven by obsession. In that time he has given himself few upgrades, preferring to rely on his natural skill. Though for vanity's sake he got himself youthend as a birthday present for himself at 45.
