Name: Rico Pose
Nickname: Recall
Address: Room in back of a Pizza, Sushi fusion joint.
Place of Birth: Street alley near you.
Height: 5' 6"
Age: 29
Weight/Physical Description:
Weighing in at around 175 pounds, Rico clearly does not miss too many meals. Do not let the number on the scale fool you, though. Part of that is tech and the rest is muscle. She is fit, toned and ready for a fight.
Ethnic Origin: Claims to be Italian. Really unknown.
Parents’ Names & Occupations: They say Rico's mother's name was Becka. She was known in some neighborhoods for illegal, undocumented upgrades. At the age of 28, Becka was murdered in an alley. Many, including the police, think it occurred during a deal gone wrong. Rico was six years old at the time.
Social Class: Lower class, slumming it.
Education: Street smarts. Formal education was limited during childhood. Often opted out of school to try and sling cyborg parts to make a few extra bucks.
Occupation/Employer: Anyone looking to hire some muscle. Those seeking a thief, otherwise known as a retrieval specialist.
Employer’s Social Class: Any. Rarely upper classmen.
Community Status: Known in many circles as someone of questionable dealings.
Job-Related Skills: Fighting, dirty fighting, fire arms, lock picking, a bit of hacking, knife skills
Hobbies/Recreations: Eating or preparing fresh foods. Watching old movies surfing the interwebs causing trouble on forums.
Rico lives a life filled with risky behaviors, living in the moment and driven by action. For better or worse, she could be equated to the eye of a storm. Her personality makes anything with a structure or organized environments a challenge. Not so much because she lacks the intelligence for these endeavors but is unable to deal with regimented, formal situations.
Ambitions: Fix her implant if she lives long enough.
Fears/Anxieties/Hangups:
Touchy about being viewed as weak because she is a female. Also fearful of being viewed as overly masculine. Struggles greatly with finding the balance between the two. Secretly fears that one day her subpar interface will cause her to go crazy and there will be no one that will care for her.
Health/Physical Condition/Upgrades: Rico lost her left arm when she was about 10 years old. Being underage at the time, left few legitimate forms of employment. Her hand became jammed between two gears and the operators did not hear her cries. The manufacturing process continued and the mechanism dragged her arm in, snaring it up to the elbow. Rico's blood curling screams finally caught the attention of the factory workers but the issue still remained, she was pinned. If they went to seek help, they would have to answer for why she was even there. The shift manager made the call and severed Rico's arm just above the elbow. A tourniquet made from a belt and filthy clothes was slapped over the wound and she was dragged out of the factory. Infection spread and amputation was required taking most of the shoulder with it. For better or worse, Rico got good at pick pocketing, gambling and other means of thievery with only one arm. Between what she was able to 'earn' and a loan from a shark, Rico was able to pay for a first class black market cybernic arm and eye at age 20. The visual implant comes with a chip that interfaces with her mind and other computer systems. However, several years after having the work done, Rico found out that the implant is faulty and known to cause its user to go mad because of mental synapses over firing or burning out. To this day, Rico has been unable to afford an upgrade to correct the implant with a more secure chip.

Job-Related Skills:
Nikoladze's greatest trait in his meandering and often dangerous field of work is experience. Knowing how to read people, how to lie and when someone is about to turn violent are life saving talents that are not the kind of skills learned from a book or a classroom.
"It's not about being the smartest or the fastest, and it's certainly not about being bullet proof. My job is a bunch of little niche tricks cobbled together to form a skill-set that's completely useless elsewhere."
Hobbies/Recreations:
Record collecting, Basketball, Movie memorabilia, Music, Working out
Personal Qualities:
Patient || Obsessive || Deliberate || Friendly (outside of work) || Ruthless (during work)
"At this point in my life I don't know just how much of my personality if a product of my work, but I'm pretty sure it's a lot. The biggest thing is that I agonize over stupid little details, and I distrust a lot of people. I'd like to make friends that I didn't meet at the office, but that's just not a luxury I get to have with my life style. Ambitions:
"Having seen the whole world fall to shit, I realized that it's important to gain as much fulfillment from whatever I do, and avoid things that suck, like country music. Everything I do, I do to as an excessive degree as I can manage, because It's what makes happy. That's all I want out of life." Fears/Anxieties/Hangups:
"My fears? Retirement, no really. I'm terrified of not being able to do this anymore, the only reason why I keep doing this job is because it consumes so much of my focus and attention. Everything else I do, my hobbies and recreation are just there to fill out the rest of the day. I suppose I did it to myself though, were I to have a different profession maybe I'd be able to devote more of myself to more enriching, or at least more normal things. But being an investigator seems to be the only thing I've ever been really good at, and I need the distraction it provides, otherwise Jesus... it's like i'm having an existential crisis, just thinking about the possibility of having an existential crisis. Oh yeah and clowns, fuck them."
Health/Physical Condition/Upgrades:
"There was a lot of trial and error that went into what was going to work best for me in terms of augmetics. The biggest criteria is that it needed to look like I didn't have very many at all. Ultimately I settled on some low grade muscle amps, and a sensory array which involved a prosthetic spine."

Personal Qualities:Having the Defender personality type, Quinn is reliable and patient. She would rather be meticulous and careful, than be sporadic and whimsical--always taking the steady and safe approach in order to achieve her end goal. She is imaginative and observant because of this she’s adept at empathizing with others; seeing things in their perspective and acting accordingly. Though she has an avid imagination, finds many things quite fascinating and inspiring, her feet is always firmly planted on the ground. She is enthusiastic and hard-working and given a little time, this enthusiasm grows into loyalty. Once she's dedicated herself to an idea or group, she will often form an emotional attachment to them; devoting everything in her power to aid those she cares about. Quinn is very practical--she will get the job done, even if it's the most boring of tasks, though she does this using very creative means.
Ambitions:To take care of her aunt who is on the lower spectrum of what is considered 'middle class'.
Fears/Anxieties/Hangups:She is overly sensitive and will often time take trivial things personally. Quinn will also repress her emotions, locking them in within her own heart when she believes that voicing them would only hurt others. She hates emotional conflict and will go out of her way to avoid it. Unfortunately, her strong sense of perfectionalism and duty will combine with this and cause her to overload. She is reluctant to change because she values tradition. Quinn will often have to be put in an awkward situation, or pushed to the breaking point, in order for her to change her view.
Health/Physical Condition/Upgrades:Hearing implants that allow her to hear the slightest whisper, or the drop of a pin. This helps her to achieve perfect pitch.
Philosophies or catch phrases:"Alrighty, then." (Usually said with exasperation.)
Name: Cadence Lupei Nickname: Cade Age: 29 Height: 5'11 Weight/physical description: 55 KG. Lean and muscular build. Toned abdomen, thighs and arms. Has shoulder length black hair and brown eyes. Occupation: Bodyguard (former)
Head of security at Genesis labs (current) Ethnic origin: Romanian American Parents names and occupations:
Gheorghe Lupei: Drug dealer (Deceased)
Marcy Lupei: Former Genesis bioengineer, currently in rehab for drug addiction and unemployed. Place of birth: City slums of NYC Address: 80 ½ Exodus Way. Social class: Middle class (Her job allows her access to higher class areas) Education: Up til 10th grade. Job related skills:
Stealth
Hand to hand combat
Skilled strategist
Capable leader
Calm under pressure
Good shot
Knowledge of weapons (specifically guns)
Bio: When Cade was sixteen she damaged her vertebrae and became paralyzed from the neck down, a quadriplegic. Her parents had no money to send her to a special needs school as her mother had just been fired from her job and her father didn't exactly care enough to use his money. She essentially became a piece of the furniture, relying on her drug addict mother to feed her, bathe her and take care of all her needs. Often her mother would get high and forget about it.
When Cade was eighteen she underwent an illegal procedure to have her damaged spinal cord replaced with a cybernetic one that would allow her to walk again. It was extremely risky but it paid off and after six months of rehab she was on her feet again for the first time in two years. The day her rehabilitation ended she ran away from home to strike out on her own. She started pit fighting in order to pay off her debt to the underground doctor who had helped her and by age twenty one had paid it all off. From twenty two she became a bodyguard for a well known socialite and while defending her from an attacker lost her left eye. It was replaced by a cybernetic eye (which allowed for better night vision, long range vision, etc) She was hired by Genesis labs when she was twenty five and by twenty nine had become their head of security. She's recently had her left arm replaced by a cybernetic one. Personal qualities: Cade is extremely cynical and has a pessimistic outlook on life. She enjoys being active, you won't find her sitting for too long. She is happiest when in a fight and is grumpy most of the time. People tend to not want to approach her because she is constantly scowling which is unfortunate since she has a beautiful smile. Community status: She doesn't interact much with others outside of work. Most people are a little scared of her. Fears: That one day her back will give out again and death. Health/Physical condition: Healthy so far. Despite not being a high up cybernetic doctor, the man who fixed her spine did a good job and it hasn't given her any problems in the eleven years she's had it. Over all she functions like a well oiledmachine. She is prone to hay fever and allergies to pollen.
Name: Zachary Matthias Beyston Nickname: Zach, Zax, Zex; not "Zexy Beyst" (although he's been called that before) Address: 19312 Pendragon Avenue (Apts. 314, 316, 318) Place of Birth: Renton, Washington (U.S.) Height: 5'9" Age: 40 (born 2008) Weight: 167 lbs. Physical Description: Well-built for his age, Beyston has maintained his health since being discharged from the Army. He has short brown hair, reminiscent of the regulation cut for Haven's military defense force. His blue eyes seem to glint, sometimes even shine, in the right lighting, as light reflects of his optical overlays.
Quick Bio:
Born in 2008, Beyston spent most of his formative (high school) years with the Genesis Project in the news. Thanks to the values his father had instilled in him, Beyston knew what he was going to do once he graduated: he was going to join the Navy, following in the footsteps of his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. But, only months before his graduation, the Moon Crisis changed everything. His father, the commanding officer of a patrol boat in the Pacific Ocean, was destroyed by the massive tidal forces generated by deorbiting lunar chunks and space debris. As Earth's situation deteriorated in the following months, Beyston realized that the Navy was no longer a viable option, and began planning a new way to protect his planet from the rising Origin threat, and make his father's memory proud. The day after graduating, Beyston enlisted in the Army, and, following the results of a seemingly simple proficiency test, Private First Class Beyston was sent to training for a combat engineering unit. The next two years spent fighting the Origins were hell on Earth, but nothing when compared to the final days of the Great Retreat, when the Army was assigned to keeping the civilian influx into Haven as orderly as possible. Staff Sergeant Beyston was part of the unit responsible for sealing the final hangar of Haven, and the begging, screaming, and crying of those left outside would continue to haunt him. After serving in the Haven military defense force for two years, Beyston was discharged following terminal leave when it became clear that he was still struggling under the weight of his Great Retreat ghosts.
Ethnic Origin:
Parents’ Names & Occupations: Frederick Beyston (killed in action), ship captain in the Navy; Amanda Waller-Beyston (deceased), elementary school teacher
Social Class: Lower class Education: High school education; received intensive instruction in relevant subjects during training as engineer for the Army. Occupation/Employer: Self-employed/Independently employed Employer’s Social Class: N/A Community Status: Frequently called upon to help neighbors when things break, and calls upon those who can't make it to his apartment; however, even his neighbors know he has his ghosts, and know better than to bother him at times.
Job-Related Skills: Mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, programming (basic), prototyping (designing circuitboards, robots, machines, etc.) Hobbies/Recreations: Beyston rarely spends time away from his job; that is to say, when he isn't repairing something, or building something for someone else, he's frequently prototyping a design that he came up with.
Personal Qualities: Problem solver | Inquisitive/Curious | Analytical | Observative Ambitions: Beyston is currently content with his life, happy to be able to help his neighbors, impelled to make amends for those he was unable to help during the Great Retreat. Fears/Anxieties/Hangups: Beyston is still haunted by the actions he was forced to take during the Great Retreat, when his Army unit was assigned to seal off the last of Haven's hangars.
Health/Physical Condition: Beyston is extremely fit for his age, having maintained the level of fitness which was required of him while he served in both the Army and Haven's military defense force. Upgrades: As an engineer in the Army, Beyston's eyes were enhanced with retinal overlays and optical optimization hardware; although the hardware is now slightly out of date, he has maintained the firmware at the state-of-the-art level. Ten years ago, Beyston suborned and reprogrammed nanobots he had smuggled from his Army kit when he was discharged in 2030. He used them to implant spoofers, designed to fool handprint scanners through the use of a low-intensity close field, in both wrists, as well as an unobtrusive homemade scanner in his right palm.
Philosophies or catch phrases:
"No matter how hard you try, if you don't pay your dues to Murphy, you're screwed."
"Never forget to factor in Murphy."
Address: Unknown Place of Birth: Unknown Height: Approximately 6'1" Age: Unknown, likely mid-twenties to early-fourties Weight: Approximately 175-180 lbs. Physical Description: The "Silver Dragon" exists mainly as a quasi-mythical entity that has claimed responsibility for several murders of high-profile citizens of Haven. He rarely emerges from the shadows long enough to be identified, let alone long enough for someone to get a detailed description. However, many alleged sightings of him describe the Silver Dragon as wearing a low-profile gray armored suit of unknown make. Other sightings claim he was carrying a sword, or arrows, or multiple guns; several of the attributed murders have been committed with such weapons.
Goals: It has been noted that all the victims of murders attributed to the "Silver Dragon" have been members of high society, or the upper class of Haven. It seems likely that the Dragon has some sort of vendetta against Genesis corporate employees.
Health/Physical Condition/Upgrades: The Silver Dragon appears to be in peak physical condition, generally committing his homicidal deeds with methods that would require great physical endurance, dexterity, and strength. It is unknown whether the Silver Dragon has been augmented, either electronically or bionically.
Philosophies or catch phrases:
"The High must fall."
"Living up high only means that you have longer to fall."
"It's a long way down."
"How far the 'mighty' fall."
Address: Homeless Place of Birth: Kyoto, Japan Height: 5'11" Age: 30 (born 2018) Weight: 168 lbs. Physical Description: One of the lucky people whose face can be described as "ageless", Murioka appears to somewhere in his early twenties. With a short shock of black hair, Murioka's (black) eyes and high cheekbones show his Japanese heritage. Although many would describe Murioka as thin or delicate, this is just the way he carries himself, in order to be seen as such. In reality, Murioka is extremely athletic and fit, capable of many feats of strength and flexibility few others could perform.
Quick Bio:
As a child, Ryu Murioka grew up in the lap of luxury. His father Shigeru, as one of the top architects for Genesis, was the main provider for his family, although Mei provided additional income with her job as a law clerk. Two years before the Moon Crisis, Ryu's father was reassigned to the U.S. headquarters of Genesis, and he moved his family there along with him. A few months before he completed third grade, the Moon Crisis occurred, disrupting life as anyone knew it. Ryu's father became extremely busy, working on a secret project for Genesis--a project eventually revealed to be the U.S. Haven--and spent longer and longer hours away from home. Within a year and a half, Ryu was lucky to see his father even twice a month.
As one of the head designers of the Haven project, Shigeru's family was one of the first to be moved into Haven, where they were given lavish dwellings in the Waterford Tower district. Safe from the Origin monsters savaging the country, provided for by all the modern amenities failing outside of the Havens, life was good, for a few months. However, when the time came to seal the last hangar, Ryu's father was hundreds of miles away, investigating an issue at an auxiliary Haven site. In the logistical chaos that had swept Haven's planners, no one had thought to consider how long it would take for an armed convoy to return to Haven. Much to Ryu and Mei's horror, Shigeru was consigned to the dead. Although Genesis provided for the Muriokas' every need, the belief that the corporation had betrayed his father severely shaded the way that Ryu, now ten years old, viewed his father's ex-employer. The next year, following a corporate "restructuring" that was far more questionable than it outwardly appeared, Genesis stopped providing for the Murioka family, almost abandoning them completely. Ryu's widowed mother did her best to provide for her son and herself, but with her experience as a law clerk was not very much in demand in Haven.
Soon, Ryu and his mother were forced to move out of Waterford Tower, as the high rent demanded of the property had nearly bankrupted them. Relocating to the by-far less affluent Fumio Street, Mei began to waitress at a nearby diner, and did her best to provide for her growing son. Two years later, though, tragedy struck, when Mei was fatally hit by the vehicle of a Genesis shareholder, who later denied all charges. Enraged that the corporation that had benefitted so much from his father's work had abandoned his mother, and had later, essentially, orphaned him, Ryu swore vengeance upon Genesis. However, there was not much a twelve year-old could do against the corporation that ran Haven, and so Ryu waited, and planned.
Considered "underage" by Haven's labor regulations, Ryu was unable to find work, and soon was forced to leave the Fumio Street lodgings, making him homeless at the tender age of thirteen. A fighter, Ryu defended the few remaining possessions he had, including a tablet left by his father--one that Genesis had failed to collect after declaring Shigeru deceased. A tablet which, Ryu discovered, contained several prototypical designs for Haven. Although most were radically different from the final version that was ultimately built, one plan was similar enough to pique his curiosity, and so Ryu began to explore the unseen areas of Haven, the areas blocked by "Authorized Personnel Only" doors, "Keep Out" barriers and "Under Repairs--No Trespassing" walls. For five years, Ryu survived--barely--by selling scavenged goods discovered during his exploration. Then he hit the jackpot.
It was an previously undiscovered back entrance into an auxiliary armory for Haven's defense force, and it was everything Murioka could have dreamed of. This was all he would need to avenge his parents' deaths. After stealing most of the gear from the armory and making off with it to his "lair", Murioka began modifying several of his finds, through much trial and error, and training for his "mission", with the aid of several exercise programs he had found in a spare locker.
Thus was born the Silver Dragon.

Occupation/Employer: Unemployed Employer’s Social Class: N/A Community Status: Murioka is known by a few, lower-end black market dealers as a supplier of occasional contraband, although most don't even know he exists.
Job-Related Skills: N/A Hobbies/Recreations:
Personal Qualities: Loyal | Inquisitive | Driven Ambitions: To avenge the deaths of his father and mother. Fears/Anxieties/Hangups: Generally considered fearless, Murioka is only afraid of only one thing: failing in his quest to right the wrongs committed by Genesis.
Health/Physical Condition/Upgrades: Although he carries himself in such a way as to appear waifish, Murioka is actually in peak physical condition, both physically and, more arguably, mentally. Although unaugmented, he has, through great dedication and intensive training, transformed himself into a warrior of comparable abilities to many far more augmented elite bodyguards. Murioka possesses absolutely no implants, including a wrist implant for identity or currency exchange.
