[Cyberpunk] Mega City: Andromeda [Recruitment Thread Need Six]

     Dr. Ha Yoon Kim was a brilliant roboticist for the Jupiter Corporation. She was the first scientist in Andromeda to revolutionize the Service Droids. Service Droids were the typical cybernetic servants used throughout the city as waiting staff, janitors, traffic police, and commodities of the upper-class. Dr. Kim changed the behavior and appearance of the Service Droids, shocking the world with their close resemblance to human beings. When a sneak peek of her Service Droids were released to the public, the broadcast went viral. The rich and the military wanted them and were willing to shower the doctor in credits just to have them. Her first creation known simply was “One” or “First” was not ready. The broadcast had meant to be a first look at the future to come, but buyers were demanding for the future to be now. She faced harassment and threats. When she shut down development for any future droids, the public was outraged. Dr. Kim nearly lost her job at Jupiter Corp when she refused the demands of the President, Kiba Suzuka, to continue development. Because Dr. Kim was too valuable to give up, the president kept her so as to keep an eye on her and First. Even if she didn’t make any more Service Droids, he was certain she would develop something new.

     A new scientist joined Jupiter Corp by the name of Dr. Jeremy Christensen. He was assigned as Dr. Kim’s assistant and the two grew close. They fell in love and Dr. Kim was soon Dr. Kim-Christ. Her husband made her the happiest woman alive, although First was wary of their relationship. [For the purpose of this story, “First” is referred to as “they” for they will be whatever gender the player chooses.] They shared with Dr. Kim-Christ their suspicions, but she dismissed their behavior believing it to be a bug. Dr. Christensen eventually learned about his wife’s Service Droid project. He tried to propose to her to start it up again for it had been years since Andromeda’s outrage. Fearing how the military and any other criminals would use her droids, she refused.

     One day, Dr. Christensen was followed while he was out running an errand. He attempted to lose his followers down an alley when they cut-off his escape and surrounded him. His pursuers were government agents, and they desired Dr. Kim-Christ’s Service Droid research. If she didn’t want to continue the research, then the federal government would. They promised him 10 million credits and to make him the Research Lead. Dr. Christensen was too stunned by the offer and asked for 12 hours to consider their offer. He returned to his wife that night in their high-rise studio. He told her what happened, and he begged her to reconsider keeping the Service Droid program shut down. She refused. Dr. Christensen left in the middle of the night. He went to Jupiter Corp and infiltrated his wife’s computer in search of her research on the Service Droids. He hacked into her files and began downloading the data, when Dr. Kim-Christ arrived at the lab with First. She had awoke in the middle of the night and saw that her bed was empty. She had grown suspicious and followed her hunch to Jupiter Corp to catch her husband red-handed trying to steal her research. She felt anguish and betrayal. She attempted to stop him, ripping out the flash drive before the download could complete. Dr. Christensen, overwhelmed with a mixture of feelings—anger, sadness, shame, and determination—grasped his wife’s throat. He attempted to strangle her and near-succeeded until First shocked them both and intervened. They freed Dr. Kim-Christ from Dr. Christensen’s grip and nearly killed him in their defense of their Maker.

     Government agents and troops surrounded the facility eager to ensure the flash drive entered their possession. First took Dr. Kim-Christ and fled. They managed to escape; and when Dr. Christensen and the government attempted to re-download Dr. Kim-Christ’s work, the download did not fully complete. When Dr. Kim-Christ had ripped the flash drive from the computer, it corrupted some of the data. The government not bothered by it, felt they had what they needed to begin producing their new line of super soldiers. Dr. Christensen got his wish and he would become the Research Director of a project called Hercules.

     Dr. Kim-Christ went into hiding though the government made no attempt to pursue her now that they had her research. She illegitimately changed her name back to Dr. Kim and fell into depression. She near drank herself to death until First stopped her. She regretted having created First, believing that her life would have been happy without them, but she knew she would never know the truth. When out grocery shopping, she learned from the news about the Hercules soldiers. They were Andromeda’s new army being developed, and as she watched, she noticed that there was something lost with their creation. The Hercules soldiers were stoic and not as lively as First. Anxiously, she returned to her hide out and retrieved the flash drive from First. Her research was intact, and she suspected that the government somehow did not retrieve all of it. The relief was liberating. She was so overjoyed, and soon, a vengeful desire filled her heart. She sent First out on missions to retrieve the technology she would need to reproduce her lab. She then redesigned First. No longer was First a Service Droid designed only to perform menial tasks. When First restarted, they were a weapon.

     Dr. Kim developed more weapons that she named from Two to Seven. Their numbers were branded in Roman numerals on their bodies. They were her Arsenal. With her androids, Dr. Kim rose infamously in the underground. She built up her resources and her revenue. She became known as Lady Kirin. The government soon learned of her growing power and started secretly paying the city gangs to take her out. In the meantime, she patiently waits for the opportunity to destroy her ex-husband’s army.

There was seven members of Arsenal currently. However, if a writer would like to make one of them a freshly-made prototype, then they can. They can also make one a Hercules defector that was upgraded with Dr. Kim’s humanity program. Each member of Arsenal specializes in one weapon and one unique power. Their number is located somewhere on their body in Roman numerals. The members of Arsenal are all androids, but unlike the Hercules soldiers, they are very human in expression and behavior. No human could tell that they are androids. Hercules soldiers think on the level of a programmed A.I. While Arsenal androids come with a standard program, but are capable of learning. Because of their unique ability to learn, they have developed their own styles and techniques. They were the ones to develop their powers. All members of Arsenal hail Dr. Kim as not only their Maker, but their mother. They are loyal to her and will die for her and her cause, although, she treats all of her machines as though they were her own children.

Arsenal Group have these standard abilities (some of these are mentioned vaguely):

• Super Strength (can lift up to 1 ton)
• Super Speed (can run up to 45 mph)
• Acrobatics and Agility
• Uncanny Flexibility
• High Pain Tolerance
• High Durability (can tank small arm fire, getting hit by a flying small car, stabbings, and basically, if it doesn’t scratch or dent metal, they’re impervious to it. They can also survive most high falls.)
• Cannot be remotely hacked
• Non-magnetic.
• Can mentally communicate with each other using their cybernetic mind network (CMN)
• High Kinesthetic Sense (know where their limbs and how their fingers are placed at all times.)
• Master-Level Martial Arts
• Multilingual
• Cross into Cyberspace and do battle in a Network

The above list of abilities are already given to your character if they are a member of Arsenal. You do not have to mention them again in your character sheet. If you wish to upgrade one of their abilities as a power, such as making your android stronger than the standard strength, then you may do so. Below, you will find the CS. Be sure to read it for it is basically the guide telling you how to fill it out. You can design this CS however you like.

Character Sheet

Code Select Expand

[float=right][img height=250]No anime. You can however use digital art or actual face claims. If you use an actual face claim, please tell the GM who it is. If you don’t know who it is, then that is fine. You can use unknown face claims just be sure to tell the GM that it is unknown.[/img][/float]
[b]Name:[/b] One-Seven; One also known as First has been with Dr. Kim since the beginning so they may have the closest relationship with her.
[b]Alias:[/b] Have they earned an alias in The Underworld (crime world)?
[b]Height:[/b] No shorter than 5’0 and no taller than 6’4”
[b]Weight:[/b] No less than 120 lbs and no greater than 300 lbs. Yeah, you think machines would be heavier but these are hailed for being closely human.
[b]Hair Color:[/b] If different from your picture, if you have one, explain in detail. Highlights, length, shortness, cut, etc.
[b]Eye Color:[/b] Any color. They can even have interesting features. Just explain.
[b]Mark:[/b] Where is their number located on their body?
[b]Gender:[/b] Male, Female, Nonbinary, etc.
[b]Personality:[/b] What are they like? What do they like and dislike? What are their hobbies?
[b]Weapon:[/b] One weapon. I don’t care if there are others who have this weapon type. I’m sure it won’t be the same because every describes things differently. This weapon will either be melee or projectile. This doesn’t restrict your character to only this weapon. This is your character’s favorite weapon and what they specialize in.
[b]Power:[/b] No time control. No, you cannot hack other members of Arsenal. If someone sends me a deux-ex-machina kind of BS power, then I am more than likely going to reject it. So be sure to choose one power.
[b]Extra:[/b] This is for further information about your character. Do they own a vehicle of some sort? Do you want to mention some important background information? Character relations can also go in this section. All members of Arsenal know each other. They are not siblings obviously and are very capable of developing feelings for the other. They are just a close-knit team/family. So work with other writers to develop their relationship.

Andromeda is the main setting of this cyberpunk, futuristic game. It is a mega city and there are probably other mega cities elsewhere on this fictional Earth; however, they are not the focus of this game. Characters are all Andromedans whether they be Asian, European, African in name and ethnic appearance. There is no racism. However, there does exist prejudice between the rich and the poor. The rich view themselves as superior and will more than likely have bought some personal Hercules soldiers of their own—just because (rich bitch!). The rich rule this society, often manipulating elections in their favor. They are like a modern noble class, while the poor are forgotten and forced to survive in the trash dump slums. The currency in this game are credits. There is no more paper money or coins. Natural resources that power hover vehicles such as nuclear energy are high in demand as well as fresh water. So water is expensive in this game and not plentiful.

This game will be a hybrid between GM-guided and sandbox. The GM will introduce rivals. Every now and then there is a criminal organization targeting/challenging Lady Kirin and the wealthy mafias will have some new Hercules prototypes to test against Arsenal.

The more interesting you make your character and the more willing you are to interact with others, then the more we can do. So please bring dedication and an imagination. You are just as capable of building and adding to this world as I am.



1. No Mary Sues/Gary Stus. I feel that I made it so that every character is on an equal ground. No Arsenal member is more powerful than the other unless the other writers decide such.
2. No drama. This rule will always be here because people do not obey or even read this. Do not bring drama to this game. Not aggressive or passive aggressive. I will not let you into this game if you demonstrate to me that you cannot behave like a mature adult.
3. No is No. GM says no. Move on. I try to be fair but if I literally tell you No, then it’s no.
4. No weak, partial, and trim character sheets. If it looks like you barely put any effort into your CS, you will be denied. Do not send me a weak CS.
5. Interact. You are joining a group game. By joining a group game that means you want to interact with others. Do it! Do not join this game if you don’t plan to write with others. Do not be a creeper either. If I get a report that you are creeping on writers, then you will be dropped. Again, this is not a smut game. You should be here to write a story not to do a sex scene and leave.
6. Activity. This game is going to be as fast as we make it. However, if the game slows down to the point everyone is posting once every 3-5 days, do not deem this game as dead. This game will only die if the GM says it is dead. If it dies and the GM didn't say it's dead, then the players killed this game. Do not kill this game. As a GM, there is only so much I can do. I can guide this game until conclusion, but I cannot force you to keep active and interested. You have to do this on your own. Interacting with other players and developing stories with them helps. Communicate with me if you plan to go AWOL. If you're coming down with a sickness and think you're going to be gone, let me know before it gets worse. If you plan to go on vacation for a time frame, let me know so we can accommodate your absence.
7. Respect each other.
8. Have fun.
More rules will be added as they become necessary.

Reserved Numbers

Writers have seven days to complete the CS. If you do not complete your CS within this time period, then your reservation will be dropped. If another player submits a CS that is the same number you are submitting for, then the best concept (which will be determined subjectively) will be accepted. So compete with confidence and good sportsmanship.

Character Theme

https://youtu.be/1qsgBF7ZIsk

Name: Dr. Ha Yoon Kim; formerly: Kim-Christ
Alias: Lady Kirin
Age: 32
Height: 5’6”
Weight: 130 lbs
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Brown
Gender: Female

Personality: Ha was once a very kind, careful, and empathic woman. She dedicated much of her time to her studies throughout her life not only due to having strict parents but because she took great pride in the quality of her work. There were times where she found it difficult to stand her ground and would often times bend to the demands of her old boss President and CEO of Jupiter Corps, Kiba Suzuka. When the city turned on her, Ha did demonstrate a hidden strength when she refused to give her research to the military and the public despite pressure. It was this hidden strength that sprouted and grew into the woman she is now.

Her whole mentality changed when her husband betrayed her and nearly strangled her to death. In that moment, she was willing to just let him succeed in killing her for her heart had been so broken. If not for First, then Dr. Christensen might have succeeded. Ha is now a vengeful woman and shows little magnanimity to her enemies. She is fearless even when odds are against her, and she is the executioner deciding the fate of the crime lords who had the balls to come after her. She is called, “Kirin” by the Yakuza. In her language, it is “Qilin.” Kirin, however, became the more popular name choice in the Underworld and so she has kept it.

Lady Kirin is calm, patient, and regal in her behavior. She is to be respected at all times and dogs who disrespect her get the hose. She loves her children (Arsenal) and so feels no need to ever have actual children of her own. If she does in the future, she knows that Arsenal will continue to protect her family for as long as they are functional. Out of all of her children, she is closest to First and relies on him to rally the others. He has been with her the longest through his Service Droid face and he was the first Weapon Droid. He is also the reason why she is alive today and so she respects him and trusts him to carry out all of her needs.

Weapon: Yonghwandudaedo – a Korean straight sword with a dragon. Her sword is simply named “Dragon." It is ornate in appearance, but it is not a decoration. She had the blade redesigned into a high frequency blade, and its edge is capable of slicing through most things with its high vibrations. She activates the vibrations with a switch on the hilt beneath her thumb and deactivates them similarly.

Extra: Will be filled out as Arsenal members are created.

[TheBlackThrone]

Face Claim: Andrew Stetson

Name: Three; Third
Alias: Zeus
Height: 6’0”
Weight: 195 lbs.
Hair Color: Dark Blonde
Eye Color: Grey
Mark: His first, middle, and ring fingers each have a single Roman numeral tattooed on them. Together, they are III.
Gender: Male

Personality: Three is young and reckless, possibly due to the high his powers give him when active. He can be wild and ecstatic just like electricity, but when he doesn’t get his juice every now and then, he’ll calm down. He likes taking risks and performing stunts most might view as crazy just to see if he can do them. He gets excited when The Lady has a job for them. Who wants to fuck with them now?! When engaged in combat, he can sometimes be heard laughing while he’s fighting, which scares his foes. They’ll often think he’s unstable.

At the same time, Three can be childish if ordered to stay behind or told not to do something that he really wants to do. Sometimes it’s for his own good, but he can be very stubborn. Three moves quickly and fights energetically in combat. He likes to get in quick and take out as many foes as he can, so missions not requiring much stealth or tact are best suited for him. If there are multiple enemies, Three would be best suited to dispose of them. His most common use is powering down a facility with a good ol’ EMP or starting up dormant machinery.

Three likes stealing energy from power sources—when he is allowed to at least. He may have an addiction that his young android existence hasn’t learned to overcome yet.

Weapon: Kali Sticks – they are more like electric batons. Three will charge the batons with his power, and attack his opponents with shocking blows.

Power: Electrokinesis – Three can create, shape, and manipulate electricity, a form of energy resulting from the movements of charged particles (such as electrons and protons), allowing control over electric fields, all charge carriers (ions, electrons, protons, and positrons), electronics, and electromagnetic forces. Three, unlike other Arsenal members, will at times sleep. While he sleeps, he recharges. Three is also capable of stealing energy from power sources to amplify his own powers, but if he takes too much power in, then he can fry himself.

Extra: Three notably wears a suit and tie when he goes to work. He prefers to look dapper when he goes to battle, and won’t be seen wearing anything less unless he’s being a home body.
Character relations will be filled out as other members of Arsenal are created.

Will finish CS later today or tomorrow. Ran into some RL stuff that I didn't anticipate.

[Juggtacular]

Name: One/First
Alias: Onslaught
Height: 6'4
Weight: 300
Hair Color: One tends to keep short dreadlocks tied back into a mohawk, while his sides are shaved.
Eye Color: Gold
Mark: The Roman numeral "I" is tattooed over One's right eye.
Gender: Male
Personality: First is highly inquisitive, as his systems have been online the longest, and had the most time to learn and grown and be further modified by Lady Kirin. Despite everything he's experienced and done, he still views the world with the wide-eyed wonder of a child as he sees and does more and more.

As the Lady's primary protector and aide for so long, he has fully mastered social cues and how to act around the population. This results in his personality seeming to change slightly depending on the people around him, always as if to keep them as personable and relaxed around him as possible.

Due to the heavy responsibility he has been charged with, One is always the one to keep the others in line and motivated, as well as the one to put more burden on himself to make sure things get done. Despite this, he tends to have a rather light-hearted personality when it comes to the other ARSENAL members and the general populace.

He treats Lady Kirin more like a revered figure and mother, as she not only gave him life, she also gave him purpose and the power to fulfill it. He would happily kill for her, and die for her as well. However, he will do everything in his power to remain active so he can continue to serve her until she sees fit to release him from his duties. If she doesn't, he'll guard her will and memory until his battery runs dry.

Weapon: Reaper - One's weapon of choice is named Reaper, as it has a single purpose. It appears as a Hammer-Axe, with a large axehead on the front, and a similarly large hammer flat on the back, as well as a spike jutting up from the center. The handle is ergonomic so the weapon can easily be held front or back. The handle is also telescopic, adjusting length depending on One wanting speed or power with his swings so he can use it one or two-handed. The blade has a high-frequency unit installed, allowing it to cut through most materials backed by One's strength. The hammer side has a kinetic force multiplier, increasing the power behind each hammer strike by causing the kinetic energy that normally dissipates with each impact to be amplified and violently discharged with each hit.

Power: Overclock - One's ability is a simple, straightforward, yet highly effective one. He calls it "Overclock" and it is the ability to supercharge his systems or his chassis. For optimal performance, he is usually restricted to overclocking a single system at a time, focusing completely on that aspect of himself. For example, he could increase his strength to throw a car or fortify his armor to withstand greater damage. Or even boost his speed and agility for enhanced mobility. While one system is increased, the others remain at standard levels.

One possesses a further ability he calls "Berserker"; the ability to disable Overclock's safety parameters temporarily. This allows him to enhance multiple systems at once, making him even more of a threat during combat. However, the drawback is that using that much power at once wreaks havoc on his systems, and if he uses this form for more than a few minutes, he could severely damage himself.

Extra: Over the years, as First is constantly out in the city as well as the larger world beyond, he has built up a network of safe houses, stashes, and connections. Almost all of these are accessible by Lady Kirin and other members of ARSENAL at any time to help with their mission. He keeps a few to himself so if any of the others get compromised, the remaining ones will be safe. He's also copied this process with the entire family, so if anyone is captured or turned, the others won't be threatened.

[TheBlackThrone]

First is approved. I am shutting off my net tonight. I am flying out tomorrow into Thursday. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. I will return to approve any other apps on Thursday once I reach my destination. For any who are interested. This is a story-driven game so please only apply if you plan to contribute to the story. Thanks.

Five

Face Claim: Mizuhara Kiko

Name: Five, Fifth
Alias: Neuro, Quinn
Height: 5’7"
Weight: 143 lbs
Hair Color: Short, but wears hair extensions as a simple disguise
Eye Color: Blue, but wears brown contacts with glasses
Mark: Nape of the neck, close to the hairline
Gender: Female

Personality: Five sees the world as her candy store with her powers as she enjoys taking on different persona's as her attempt to blend in with the populace. Something she enjoys is pretending to be defenseless and come off as not a threat using her stature to her advantage and hiding who she is unless there is a mission then she can let her hair down figuratively speaking. Granted she isn't as wild and reckless as Three and doesn't act like some crazy person. Despite what she shows the public, having fun is important to her and sometimes she needs to be reminded to stay focused with the task at hand. Like wise she can also go off into the deep end and overthink the situation which is just as bad depending on the situation.

She adores Lady Kirin and is always excited to show her the latest upgrades or inventions that she came up with and constantly checks their security through the data stream since her safety is paramount. Five understands that One will always be the closest one to her, but she wants to make Lady Kirin smile just as much as any other and takes any negative thing that is said from her as a stab in the heart.

Otherwise she is fun loving, competitive, and a enjoys tinkering with things that can make them better. Making gadgets for her fellow Arsenal family and while she knows she can't hack them, she keeps track of their vitals and systems to make sure they are not pushing themselves past their limits. They are a family after all. 

Weapon: Garrote is her go to and she carries it in two different forms at all times because one never knows what kind of situations can come up.

One is traditional in a sense as it is in her bracers she wears.

The second comes in a small cylinder (think lipstick size) that are mechanized upon her command. Upon opening the disk she wraps it around the persons neck or other body parts as they are held on through both magnets and latch, a small motor will go and automatically tighten. These beauties are never left behind because she doesn't want someone to copy her hard work.

Power: Technopathy

User can create, shape and manipulate technology and technological constructs, computers, robots, hardware and other devices that can be termed as "technology." Manifested as a special form of electrical/telekinetic manipulation, a special form of "morphing" which allows physical interaction with machines, or even a psychic ability that allows mental interface with computer data.

User can control the flow of intricate machinery, and assemble or disengage their programming at will and operate most technology at distance. A variation of Electricity Manipulation, they control specific electrons and instructs them which items to engage or disengage and may be able to use the electric impulses to gently control smaller metal parts.

Applications of the power depends on the situation and a few examples can be added if needed.

Extra: Five likes to go by Quinn or Q when they are out and about in public and when she goes by Neuro, she enjoys the persona change. Meaning she removes her contacts, the hair extensions, and the traditional stuffy clothes that she has to wear.


As Arsenal members are created, relationships can be established.

Five is approved.

I hope to get more members, but even if we do not fill the slots initially, we will still proceed with the story. This way people who want to read along and join later can do so. I will be designing the IC and other threads once I get home and it will more than likely be after Thanksgiving: Black Friday!

Can I reserve number 7?

Also, you mentioned we can be a rogue former Hercules? Are Hercules soldiers solely used as (private) soldiers or can they be 'trained' and used as other things as well, like a very expensive butler or something else? Cause if you're rich and you want to show off to your rich friends, why not use something expensive to do menial tasks? :)

Seven is already on reserve by another player.

Two and Six are left.

Hercules Soldiers unless bought by the rich are designed to be soldiers. The rich or crime lords will use them as bodyguards.

Service Droids are the basic janitorial and menial jobs droids found around Andromeda. Service Droids would be butlers/maids but not soldiers. They are not designed for such things.

Arsenal members were redesigned from the service droid. Unlike the other droids, they are the most human in behavior and personality. They basically have free will.

If you are asking if you can play a redesigned former Hercules droid, who is now a member of Arsenal and chooses to perform butler/maid duties around the home, then that is not a problem. But this is an action game. If your desire is to not get involved in any action, then you should not pick an Arsenal member and just play either a supporting human or service droid.

Edit: Oh and if you are reserving Seven to compete with Seven for the Seven role, then you can do that too.

=3= Goddamnit, Throne.

-plants an interest flag- I would like to reserve Two, please. Will be making a female character, so I would like to reserve Stefania Ferrario as my faceclaim.

I kinda meant the other way around... a female designed for housely work and pleasures turned soldier :)


Also, how much human emotions will they have? If any?

[Sye]

Can't wait to see how all of our characters work together and what the dynamics are for our Extra's section ^^

Hm...I don't think that concept will work. Service Droids would do that but Lady Kirin would not make a pleasure droid. The rich would but they wouldn't pay for the pleasure droid to be anything more than that.

Hercules soldiers are designed to only be soldiers.

Arsenal are human in personality and behavior.

I said if someone wanted to be a Hercules Soldier converted into an Arsenal member, then they can do that. I did not say a Service Droid converted into a Arsenal member. Lady Kirin would just make an outright Arsenal member. The very first design was inspired from the Service Droids.

Height: 5'9"

While Two hadn't been online as long as One, Two felt she had gained enough insight about the world as it is. The world was ruthless, unforgiving and brutal though she understood the beauty and peculiarity it offered. Despite her cynical views towards the world and humanity, Two remained curious about it; even if she remained apprehensive. Nonetheless, it explains on why she tends to be protective over the other Arsenals, and of course, over Lady Kirin most of all.

Throughout the long period of time since she had been activated, Two had enhanced her perceptions when it came to human interactions to where she now know on how to seduce men and women if she needed to. This definitely has some benefits, especially if she needed to gain valuable information for Lady Kirin and her fellow Arsenals. When given a mission or a duty, she takes the responsibility very seriously as Two will finish the given task dutifully and without fail — as she only wanted to ensure that her creator will have her vengeance.

When not given a mission or a task, Two is very amiable and welcomes interactions with her fellow members. She tends to ensure every of the Arsenal would get along and would usually be the first to break any quarrels between them. There is no doubt that she cares for them deeply; which is why she would do anything to ensure their safety. Other than that, Two does indulge in some fashion and luxury as she sometimes would recieve gifts here and there from people.

Weapon: Omega - As Two prefer to go with the stealthy and silent approach, it shouldn't be a surprise that she took a liking to use sniper rifles or anything remotely to do with guns in general. She had heavily modified her sniper rifle to her preferences and she could even use tranquillizers if she wanted to go non-lethal. Nonetheless, she strived to never miss a single shot.

Power: Invisibility - She can render herself unseen and undetectable by the naked eye as she becomes invisible in the visible spectrum. When she uses this ability, her movements wouldn't emit a single sound and even her scent would be concealed. The only drawback is that she has to avoid any physical contact to secure her concealment.

Two is also able to extend her invisibility ability by physical contact with either inanimate or animate objects; like for example, she's able to conceal a vehicle and even the patrons inside while keeping her hands upon the car itself, or having another Arsenal member hold her hand while keeping them their presences concealed. When she has to extend her ability like so and with more than one person or a large object, she has to focus on the task at hand and it might strain her a little if she keeps it up for too long. However, with light-weighted objects or something akin to her carrying her gun equipment around, it would be relatively easy for her.

Extra: Two admits that she gets spoiled with gifts from her 'admirers', as she would call them. Because of that, Two owns quite a bit of luxury clothes and items, which she doesn't mind sharing with her family if they were interested. Nonetheless, Two confesses on liking to keep track of what's new in fashion and to keep herself updated on what was trending so far.

Despite Two sees One as family and is relatively close to him, she couldn't help but feel some sort of resentment towards him as she felt she is more worthy of having the full trust of Lady Kirin than him. There would be times when she would try to challenge his authority, mostly wanting to gain the full trust of Lady Kirin and thinking of herself as superior to One at times.

That's fair enough :) Doesn't kill my interest :D


So how much human emotions do they know?
