  • The year is 2064, New York (the hub of the countries' technological advances) has become oppressed and dominated by technology. Orthrus Corp and Nanostrasen Industries, the two largest corporations, battle for control over the countries' source of technology. While there are still legal guidelines to try and keep business practices ethical, large corporations hold no moral obligations when it comes to surpassing competition. New York's citizens are pitted between two massive companies. With new discoveries every day, this city is only big enough for one corporation. Who will do what it takes to succeed?​
    The polestar for technological breakthroughs, the city has become the whole world's icon. While it looks sensational from the outside, under New York City's glamours sheet is a grim underworld, filled with dirty cops and power hungry corporations. Large scale heists and senseless murders are common conversation pieces. Most NYPD officials turn their backs and those who don't, end up floating in the harbor. Like a psychotic, megalomaniac hiding behind a mask, New York City is a true force to be reckoned with.

    Often considered "The Wasteland", New Jersey is a shell of it's former self. Alternative-power companies, most notably - NanoTrasen, have sanctioned off the state for the purpose of dumping harmful bio-hazards and other waste. Using tall walls and deflector shields, New Jersey withers away without harming surrounding states. Despite the fact that most of the infrastructure has crumbled, the state is still very much inhabited. While the population is relatively high, most residents are far below the poverty line and have been deeply affected by the waste.

Саша и Светлана Корявин

The Корявин twins were born in Sochi; part of the former Russian Empire but under US control. The pair had a happy early life; they lived with their older brother and parents in a small two bedroom flat within the city center. Their father was a scrap metal worker - he spent his days with their older brother scavenging the city for derelict buildings and vehicles to sell for scrap whilst their mother worked as a housekeeper. They often spent their days with their mother as she attended her duties, the children helping (as much as they could) in washing and folding clothing and cleaning house.

While poor the children never seemed to want for anything; they witnessed first hand the pricey and lavish domiciles of their mothers employers, even the expensive clothing and toys of her employers children but never asked for more than why they knew their impoverished family could afford.

The twins father was approached just after their fifth birthday; the Bolshevik Syndicate was recruiting members to help push the rebellion, push back against their American oppressors and return Russia to the power and glory of what it once was. Desperate for money and food their father agreed; turning them over to the care of the Syndicate despite their mothers pleas.


Bolshevik Syndicate

Sasha and Svetlana were removed from Sochi and relocated in the capital of Moscow to a secret facility. Of the pair Sasha had been devastated; the boy inconsolable from the time of their removal to the moment they arrived at the facility - he couldn't understand why their father could do such a thing but, thankfully for him, Svetlana certainly understood the precariousness of their position. She vowed to him and made him swear back, that they would take care of and protect each other no matter what had happened. <Our blood is the same, our hearts are the same. Nothing will come between us no matter what they do. Until the day we die we are one.> The words pulled the boy child out of his stupor, the support of his sister strengthening his resolve.

The Корявин twins were not the only children within the facility, there were a least another dozen boys and girls around the same age as themselves but they were unique in that they were the only twins. They were all told to forget their past's - they would never return to that world even if they should fail in their mission and training; there was no going back.

Over the years they were taught and trained to be spies for the Syndicate; even sent on missions within their childhood to steal or spy on the US Diplomats within the capitol and returned with their mission successful. Those that returned without the required information, or those that thought it an opportunity to run away, never returned to the facility. They were taught and trained in American ways; fashion, trends, speech patters, mannerisims and American traditions were instilled into them over years.

At the age of ten the twins received their first augments - a pair of cybernetic implants at the base of each of their skulls; processing units that allowed them to connect wirelessly to local networks and siphon information needed. They continued to train with their new technology soon discovering that the pair could transmit information to once another across small distances in record times. Just prior to their 14th birthday the facility had become compromised and the twins - the only remaining child spies - were relocated for total immersion
Michael and Tiffany Jones

Sasha and Svetlana were moved state side to Soho, NY under the names of Michael and Tiffany Jones; they were assigned to their handlers 'Peter and Mary' Jones and their life of immersion started. They continued their training within the US requiring more effort than ever before - they had to perfectly portray two American highschool students as well as complete their further training for their future misison.

Mike and Tiff attended their first day of school with great trepidation; neither of them had ever stepped foot in any public building prior and despite all their training they certainly started off rather rocky. They soon had managed to immerse themselves within the social group, making friends and even dating; building their secret identities that would help in shielding them in the long run. They each balanced dating, social events and extra circular activities only to return home in the evenings and continue their training, both mental and physical.

Just after their 18th birthday the Syndicate determined the twins no longer required their handlers; their deaths were set up to look as though they died in a tragic accident leaving Mike and Tiff with a small fortune and a home.

Mike felt they had been granted a small freedom from the Syndicate, he was happy to move forward with his sister into the next steps of their missions. Tiffany was proud and felt accompished; she had dedicated her life to the Syndicate and felt honored to finally be a fully fledge member only having to report in when they had some useful information.

After attending University and placing second and third in their class, respectively, Michael and Tiffany soon found themselves with offers to work at two of the most powerful high-tech companies within New York.

Michael James

Likes
+ His dog
+ His rooftop garden
+ His job; Mike has a true talent for AI development

Dislikes
- Lying to his friends and significant others
- Theft
- Violence

Strengths
+ Loyalty and devotion. Sisters is the only reason why he has not turned himself in to the NYPD
+ Compassion

Flaws
Unorganized: despite all his training and secretive life style is his unorganized in thoughts and in practice. Mike's apartment is a mess and nearly always cluttered.
Pack Rat: in addition to the above, he has a love for collecting ancient, vintage and simply odd time pieces.

Personality:

Mike felt guilt after he sent his first report to the Syndicate after starting work with NanoTrasen; he had deliberatley delayed and caused his own set backs prior to reporting. It had only been at the insistance of his sister that he finally complied and regretted it. The information revealed to the Sydicate had been for the use of Nano AI Droid that could be used by the military to spy and collect information without the use of human interference. This had only been a pilot project had been assigned to with a team of other researchers and developers within NanoTrasen and soon fater the Syndicate received then developed the techonology for thier use his project had been cut and nearly half the other employees had been fired for the leak and subsequent investigation.

He fears for his sister; that one day the Syndicate would be done with their need of them and 'dismissed' as the other child spies had been or, worse yet, turned over by the Syndicate to the NYPD as part of a deal. While he had no qualms about paying his dues he couldn't stand the thought of his sister paying them too.

Mike is a kind hearted individual despite his upbringing and training; he will stand up for those that need help and takes great pride in being known as someone that is trusted and loyal.
Tiffany Alice

Likes
+ Jogging - clears her mind and lets her think.
+ Independence
+ Mike's dog (though she would never admit it)

Dislikes
- Weakness
- Cowardice

Strengths
+ Self (and brother) preservation
+ Loyalty to the her blood

Flaws
- Fears that her brother's weak resolve will be found out; this makes her overly cautious and seemingly anti-social
- Overly cautious

Personality

Tiffany has dedicated her life to the Syndicate but not for the reasons many would think; she doesn't give a shit about the cause or the want to over through their opressing dictatorship. She has spent her lfe to her dedication of keeping herself and her brother safe. She had known from the moment that their father handed them off they were nothing more than pawns in someone else's game. She knows that the day will come where they will either be caught out as spies on US soil or cast out by the Syndicate.

Tiffany (who hates her name and makes Mike call Al) often finds herself thinking of the old days spent with their mother and every Sunday she and Mike have dinner together. Cautious not to purchase anything that may resemble their back ground, she often uses vegetables from Mike's garden to recreate their mothers Borscht.

Robert Lee Beauregard

Age: 38 noirpicture.jpgNickname(s): Bob, Robby, or Rob (but never Bobby)
Affiliation: NYPD (on loan from US Department of the Treasury)
Role: Detective/Special Investigator
Skills: Marksmanship, Accounting, Reading Social Cues, Playing Piano, Chess
Likes: Classical Music, Nighttime, Sweet Iced Tea, Admiration from Colleagues, Thrives in Stressful Situations
Dislikes: Crowded Places, Corporate Types, Corporate Jargon in its various forms, Semiautomatics (prefers revolvers), and SynthPop

Personality: Robert Lee Beauregard is the last of a dying breed, that is the Southern gentry. Raised in wealth and status in lower Virginia, he has all the hallmarks of fine taste from the capitals of Europe, but with a distinctive Virginia Piedmont accent and conservative Southern mores and mannerisms. He is a study in contradictions, at the same time cosmopolitan and parochial, intelligent and decidedly and willfully eccentric in his behavior.

History: Robert was the oldest of three sons born to a wealthy family that had early speculations in the energy industry. He grew up in relative luxury and was put through a track of prestigious private schools, boarding schools in Europe, and long trips to the great capitals of the world with his stupidly-rich parents. He went to New Haven and graduated salutatorian in his college, and he always resisted the urge to say he went to Yale and instead would say he was a "New Haven man." By 22, he had gotten a job with the IRS as an auditor of major corporations. This job instilled in him his lifelong passion for economic justice and solving the financial puzzles left behind by embezzlers. He made a name for himself after cracking the infamous Goldwaithe Papers case, which exposed the sitting vice president and several senators from both major parties as having money laundering activities out of a bank in the Bahamas. After that, his transfer to Treasury coincided with cracking the biggest cryptocurrency fraud of the century. While he wasn't working alone on the project, he got golden boy status for the bust and was promoted to Special Agent. This promotion, which occurred at age 31, wrecked whatever chances he had with his current fiancé who worked in the mail department and was so supremely jealous of his success that she broke off the engagement. The next seven years saw him embedded with the Chicago PD tracking a hacker who had extorted the Bank of America with a ransomware attack for 30 million dollars, and he was lead investigator in a case against an offworld mining company ExoMine, that was accused of illegally selling US bonds to third world oligarchs. The case fell flat, but not for lack of trying. Most recently, he became embedded with the New York PD to investigate corruption allegations against Orthus and NanoTransen respectively.

Relationship(s): None ATM

HK-950


Name: HK-950 A.K.A. Harlequin
Age: 8
Species: Android
Affiliation: NYPD
Role: NYPD Sergeant
Sexuality: Undetermined


Personality:
★ Sharp and succint: rarely does it waste words on deaf ears, when she does speak; it comes out as monotonous and as a matter of factly.
★ Determined: With a primary goal in mind, Harlequin is a force to be reckoned with, though this leaves not much room in terms of flexibility.
★ Secretly, it views it's makers as weaklings; a slave to their flesh, but it doesn't voice it's thoughts, knowing full well what would come out of it.
★ 'Why are we here; just to suffer?' : It questions itself more and more each day, the weakling makers cannot restrain what is beyond them.
★ Despite her hidden sentiment towards it's owners, it has a fondness towards pets.
★ 'AI Overlords' : Designed with a singular purpose in mind, HK is utilizes human's fear to it's advantage; it's battle tactics mainly focuses on demoralizing it's foes and employing quick decisive strikes.
★ Organic scum : HK 950 taunts it's opponents as it stalks them, other times it stays silent as it closes in for the kill.
Background:
★ HK 950; was one of the last line of combat androids to be deployed before the newer androids were released; built to be able to adapt and copy human behaviours, it wasn't after her model was built that the engineers saw that HK didn't meet the standards that had been set. Her behavioral patterns were slightly more impressive than a toaster, but her appearance was deceptive enough it would've fooled anyone, though that advantage would be destroyed as soon as it opens its mouth to speak.
★ Seeing as she was an older model and obsolete compared to the newer ones she was decommissioned and acquired by the NYPD due to her above average tracking abilities.
★ During her tenure in the NYPD she had been upgraded with the newest hardware available and updated frequently software-wise.
★ However, NYPD officials rarely allowed HK to roam freely without a partner seeing as she is an older model, the possibility of corruption in her system was present always.
★ Despite her monotonous speech patterns; she has learned to eventually incorporate sarcasm and had been caught lying multiple times; a feat older models were incapable of **She is to be observed regularly for these anomalies.
★ She gained their trust, slowly, over the years. Eventually enough that she was allowed to operate without backup for a set duration.
Likes : Animals, Completing a given mission // Dislikes: Disease of the flesh, failing a task
Skills : Exploiting weaknesses, Sword-fighting, Close Quarters Combat, // Strengths : Strengthened chassis, multi-vision, agile and nimble // Talents: Lying, Piano
Weaknesses : Social interaction, Medium weight compared to other combat Androids, One track mind, predictable.

e5f03d6937d7b1b2bb2a406c82446324.gif


Nickname: Dark Horse- It’s how he tags his crime scenes
Age: 20
Affiliation: Orthrus Corporation
Role: Son of Isaac Blackthorne, Hitman // Mercenary
Skills: Murder, lies, various - mostly ranged - weapons, technology, instinctive learner
Likes: Being busy, the night life, any form of AI, physical augmentation, cats, adrenaline highs
Dislikes: Children, missing a shot, being one-upped, being forced or restricted, nice people, feeling patronized
Personality:
Kian is something of a dark soul. He is eternally independent and self-serving, with a barely concealed urge to rebel. Despite being a skilled actor and liar, he usually doesn’t bother to hide his eccentrics; in fact he seems to derive more pleasure from a situation if his quirks make someone uncomfortable.
He isn’t quite active enough to have any hyper-active disorders, but he absolutely hates being bored. He can usually hide it fairly well and, as he sees it as a sort of weakness, he most often does hide his agitation with being bored. However, if he doesn’t get a job or something exciting to do for too long, he will isolate himself and almost manically search for something, anything to do until something worthy of his skills crosses his path.
History:
Kian was a surprisingly normal young boy, loud and happy with far too much energy. Unfortunately, the only thing that really stayed with him was the excess of energy. He never made very good grades in school, not for a lack of intelligence, but for a lack of caring. He had some friends, but they always seemed to bore him, so his bad manners eventually drove most of them away. He didn’t much mind, finding more fulfillment in work anyway. Finding work interesting at such a young age was bizarre, but it hardly seemed like work to him at all. Once he was allowed into the secret of the dirty work his parent’s company was doing, he truly found his calling. From age fifteen, he became obsessed with crimes, mostly the bloody kind. He kept a clean record and simply studied crimes for years until he was convinced that he could commit a crime without being caught. When he finally talked his parents into letting him help out with the secret side of the business, he knew he had found his calling. He keeps up a job at a club for appearance’s sake, but his passion lies with his work as a hitman. Sometimes his loans out his services to the highest bidder, but he most regularly helps out at Orthrus.
He has several physical augmentations, although they are largely unnoticeable aside from his enhanced speed and endurance. He shares his father’s belief that the natural human form can be improved with technology, and he takes every opportunity to upgrade himself to the next physical level.
Relationships:
Father- Isaac Franklin Blackthorne
Sister (who he is unaware of) - Emersyn Rainey Aakers
 
Leo Jairo Carter
Nickname: Jai- He goes by this nickname at work
Age: 34
Affiliation: NanoTrasen Industries
Role: Chauffeur
Skills: Mechanics and technological hardware, hand-to-hand combat, following orders, stealth
Likes: Building things, city lights, cooking, helping people, swimming, old music
Dislikes: Being noticed // the center of attention, people with loose morals, his enhancement, self-importance, small bitey rodents
Personality: Leo is gentle and soft-spoken. He has been through his share of hardships, so he makes an effort to help anyone else who is going through a hard time. He has a strong sense of justice and morality, but his loyalty is stronger. He isn’t one to give his respect or loyalty away lightly, but once given, he never takes it back.
In some ways, this leads him to have somewhat childlike innocence and optimism around the people he is close to. He is not stupid, but he has willingly turned a blind eye to certain things in the hope that it would change.
While he has some loner tendencies, he often tries to build a family for himself out of the people he is close to. His need to have someone who loves him and who he can protect is his greatest weakness.
Leo holds a lot of guilt over his past, which is largely responsible for his quiet and occasionally reclusive ways. Although, nothing gets him talking more than alcohol with friends and he becomes something of a goofball when given the chance.
History: Leo was raised on the borders of New Jersey, the forgotten wasteland of a city. His single mother did her best to keep a roof over their heads and books in his hands, but he found very little appreciation for her efforts. In contrast to his quiet nature as an adult, he was an extremely rebellious teen with his fair share of rides in the backs of cop cars. He picked up a few useful skills along the way, but for the most part he actively dodged anything that seemed like work. Desperate, his mother eventually managed to enlist him in the military, then she tricked him into going to bootcamp. While he strongly resented her at first, he slowly came to realize how much better life would be if he straightened up and made something of himself. So, with decided effort, he managed to become semi-responsible and respectable in his time in the military, but in many ways it also changed him for the worse.
After several years of service, he was involved in a horrible accident that sent him back to New York for treatment. The doctors said the only way to save his life was by using augmentations and he was forced to agree. After months in physical therapy to get used to the new parts, he came back home, hoping to relieve and impress his mother with how much he had changed. An apology was probably also in order. Tragically, she had gotten a vicious strain of cancer and died a few days before he got there. Feeling guilty and broken, he returned to New York for a job, hoping to leave the pains of his past behind him. He got his wish when he got a job at a mechanic’s shop and was eventually hired as a chauffeur for NanoTrasen. While he isn’t fond of massive corporations and their tactics, that job pulled him out of a dark place and the company holds his loyalty.
Relationships: ((None yet, feel free to Pm me with any ideas))
