During the onset of the Second World War, human experiments concocted in the early stages of the Third Reich yielded evolutionary results. Modification of the human genome and experimentation on DNA tampering produced what the Third Reich perceived as the next step in biological evolution: Der Ewige gewählt: the eternally chosen. The first stages of the Second World War were carried by this newfound discovery, or as some would put it, the ultimate crime against humanity. The first of this new breed of genetically modified "Übermensch" would serve in the elite, SS divisions of the German military as war broke out across the continent.

Storming across France and Russia, armies of the eternally chosen brought destruction and desolation to Europa. Faster, stronger and with other unnatural gifts, these genetically modified humans were capable of fighting for days without food or water, against forces vastly outnumbering their own. It seemed that German domination of the world was inevitable, the Allies incapable of stopping the genetically enhanced vanguard of the Blitzkrieg. When it seemed that German victory was all but secured, a new horror emerged from the Kremlin...

The Russians were quick to learn an important lesson: to defeat a monster, one must become one.
Germany had not been the only country to implement horrific human experimentation. From the Kremlin emerged a horde of unspeakable horrors, creatures that bore even less resemblance to man than the genetically enhanced German soldiers. In a rush to face the unstoppable German army, the Soviet Union put forth the incomplete results of their own experimentation. Eight-foot-tall creatures that resembled that of the fantastical lycans of folklore tore through the German order of battle. Over the course of the war, the Soviet Union and the Germans would equally ramp up their human experimentation.

Though officially, the Allies had denounced the use of DNA manipulation, the Americans used data retrieved by defecting German scientists and information unwillingly provided by the Russians in their own Manhattan project. Soon, all major powers of the Second World War had their own variety of super-soldiers, with each nation participating in an arm's race to create the ultimate super soldiers. Soldiers who could read minds, see in the dark, become invisible and even teleport short distances became the heroes of the War. With all sides of the conflict pushing the limits of the human genome further and further.

Eventually, the Allies emerged victorious. Yet, despite the end of the war, the genetic arms race intensified deep into the Cold War. The nations around the world began creating, training and indoctrinating their own armies of super soldiers without impunity and with little regard to the consequences of their actions in secret for future conflicts. In 2020, the nations of the world were overwhelmed by rising civil unrest, the people of the world clamoring for an official end to the genetic arms race. Dubbed the "NOAH" by English speaking nations, resentment and racism for these genetically modified human beings grew to boiling heights. In 2050, the United Nations officially outlawed the right for nations to possess Noah within their national militaries, with heavy restrictions imposed on genetic modification and DNA manipulation as a whole.

Of course, this would do little to solve the issue, as nations quickly discovered a loophole in the United Nations' language and thus began turning to government-funded "Private Military Corporations" to provide the super soldiers barred by the UN's Anti-Noah resolution. Furthermore, the use of PMCs allowed superpowers to engage in unadulterated "proxy wars", leading to a string of conflicts in the Middle East by private armies funded by foreign interest governments. It became clear that the United Nations Anti-Noah Resolution was simply not stringent enough... and in 2100, a new resolution was passed, barring any Noah from engaging in unsanctioned military conflict. With this resolution, an international military task force was formed:

@Tiguidi asked:

What is the minimum age our character can be? I guess it's gotta be above 20 since they're involved with the military and stuff?

>Since technically you don't have to be in the military to join Infinity, I'm willing to allow teenage characters but they would be facing NOAH's with military combat experience who have had more time to hone their skill and abilities, so the minimum I'd say would have to be 18.

How exactly does one join Infinity?

>That's up to you, but since your character is a NOAH most countries would more often than not shoot on sight just for being a NOAH. As a potential walking weapon of mass destruction with possibly no training, your character might be pressured into joining Infinity simply to not have to watch their back the entire time, especially since statistically NOAHs tend to be kidnapped and experimented on.

Infinity: Mirage is a science-fiction, action-adventure roleplay set in the year 2105, where political tension and fear of the supernatural by the public is high. In this roleplay, you are a member of the International, United Nations Military Task Force "INFINITY", a team of supernatural beings sent to investigate and enforce Anti-NOAH laws and apprehend those that maliciously break them, with force if so required. Beware, many dangers lurk amongst man, the results of over 100 years of unregulated human experimentation. It is up to the team to dispose of them, by any means necessary.

The United Nation's Anti-NOAH Enforcement Agency, "INFINITY"

An international, law enforcement agency created and funded by the United Nations to enforce the UNs' 2100 Anti-NOAH Resolution #12. An agency comprised of almost exclusively NOAH, the Anti-NOAH Enforcement Agency controls and regulates modifications to the human genome and investigates breaches in the UN Anti-NOAH treaty. A multi-level organization with significant financial backing, INFINITY members are recruited from national governments around the world.

INFINITY is organized into color-coded, semi-autonomous sub-divisions:


  • Gold Division "Centurion" (Command/Support Staff)
  • Red Division "Gryphon" (Assault/Raid Division)
  • Blue Division "Mirage" (Investigation/Intelligence Bureau)

Most assets are supplied by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Though the Soviet Union, North Korea and China have signed the UN's Anti-NOAH resolution, physical support of the organization has been limited. Though separate divisions with different roles in the agency, the divisions work closely together to enforce the law. It is a new agency, but international pressure to regulate the NOAH and genetic arms race has forced nations to pour resources into this organization. As such, the Anti-NOAH enforcement agency is incredibly well-funded and capable of matching the strength of the strongest of Private Military Corporations.

UNIT HISTORY:
2100: United Nations' Anti-NOAH Resolution is passed, signed by 190 member countries. Article #12 of the Resolution calls for the establishment of an Anti-NOAH organization. INFINITY is formed later that year and resources and training begin to pour into the organization. They would not become officially active until the next year. Lieutenant-General Arthur Wellesley, formerly of the British Army, is nominated and selected as Commander for the organization.

2101: Red Division is deployed to the Middle East, engaging in Operation Talon against the Rogue Paramilitary organization "Black Steel," a mercenary NOAH group that operated out of the uninhabited regions of Afghanistan and Iran. One of the most deadly organizations at the time, their numbers were drastically reduced after a successful military campaign to expel their influence on the region. Eight hundred NOAH were killed between both sides of the conflict, numbers that had not been seen since the Vietnam War.

2102: Blue Division is formed as the intelligence and investigation wing of the agency. Normally, operatives from Blue Division are sent first to inspect and investigate. The NOAH assigned within this division tend to have abilities more suited to reconnaissance, allowing the agency to no longer rely on the intelligence bureaus of sovereign nations.

2103: The Soviet Union is attacked by a NOAH terrorist group, leaving two thousand civilian and military casualties. The Soviet Union begins to financially support INFINITY, adding a Russian unit to the organization. Despite signing the treaty, North Korea and China continue to refuse support for the organization.

2104 ➞ Present: Black Steel resumes military operations in the Middle East, coming into conflict with other Private Military Corporations in the region. Currently, over 20,000 Infinity Operatives are stationed in Africa and the Middle East as military deterrents.

Inside the Cockpit of a USAF Sikorsky, MH-2050 "Arikara"
The year is 2105, technology has undergone dramatic and significant changes. While the balance of power between nations is still decided by the access to NOAH possessing Private Military Corporations, advances in technology have only served to dramatically increase both their lethality and potential. One of the more notable technological achievements is the development of faster methods of transportation.

The current transport utilized by the United Nations' Anti-NOAH task force is the United States Air Force's Arikara, named after the tribe of Native Americans in North Dakota. Developed in 2050, the Arikara served as the main troop transport and assault craft of the USAF for nearly fifty years, until it was officially decomissioned by the US military in 2100. While currently being phased out, many countries, including INFINITY, continue to use it.

Capable of carrying a complement of 24 personnel, including a pilot, co-pilot and enough equipment for three days, the craft is capable of transporting INFINITY agents wherever they are needed. It is capable of supersonic flight, has vertical take-off and landing features and is both decently armored while also possessing light radar-defeating stealth capabilities. Equipped with a rotary 20mm autocannon fixed below its nose, it is also capable of destroying light targets.

Armored Frames, sometimes called "ArFras," are mechanized combat machines similar to tanks. While these bipedal war machines are usually manned by one or two pilots, occasionally they are remote-controlled or automated. Faster and more versatile than tanks, while also being rapidly deployable from airborne troop transports such as the Arikara, armored frames have essentially rendered the main battle tanks of the world obsolete. While military nations have many armored frames in service in their militaries, INFINITY maintains only a handful in service, as an entire platoon of personnel are required to sufficiently maintain such units.

Still, it is not uncommon for INFINITY members to encounter such machines, as they are widely used by police forces of first world countries and occasionally, terrorists will retrofit civilian/construction models for combat. There are many different types of ArFras that exist throughout the world, with different levels of armament, movement and entirely different weapon systems that vary from machine to machine.

While small-arms technology hasn't changed much in over a hundred years, integration of improved satellite and UAV technology has given modern fighters new advantages over their predecessors. Aerial feeds provided by Arikara and other support craft integrate with soldiers' heads-up displays which allow soldiers to more quickly respond to and track enemy targets... even while inside buildings. Due to INFINITY's multi-national background, members are allowed to use whatever small-arms they desire, as each member may have been trained to operate a variety of different weapons platforms.




Recently, several more developed nations have begun development of exosuit systems. Starting as an attempt to bring down the size of ArFras into something more compact and more easily concealable, both America and the Soviet Union have begun to deploy these units in small quantities. Additionally, INFINITY maintains a few number of prototype units.

An exosuit is defined as a lighter variant of the ArFra that attaches directly to the wearer. Though smaller and much easier to field, an exosuit is incapable of taking nearly the same amount of punishment as an ArFra. The thin armored plates that encase the wearer are only capable of withstanding one or two hits from common, armor piercing rounds as delicate electronics must fill most of the space underneath the armor. Exosuits also require frequent maintenance, tuning and outside assistance putting on and taking off. One of the major issues with suits is sourcing power for the units. Power for a suit lasts for only a few hours before battery replacement must take place. If for whatever reason a suit loses power, the suit will freeze and the user will no longer be able to move. Exosuits, like ArFras, also generate larger heat signatures on thermal optics and can sometimes be spotted more easily on close-range radars.

Despite these issues, the exosuit is still seen as a major achievement in military and civilian technology and has many benefits to the wearer. First, the suit is vacuum sealed and temperature controlled, when completed with a helmet - the armor provides both full armor protection and protection from external elements. While not perfectly armored, it provides full protection across the entire body, where conventional body armor only protects areas commonly considered as vital. It provides significant protection from fragmentation and its limited power durations are addressed by easily replaceable external batteries, though outside assistance with this is required during combat operations. Modern exosuits also increase the wearer's mobility by taking pressure off of the human body and onto the suit itself, allowing them to carry heavier equipment and run for longer periods of time without fatigue. Some suits have been modified to carry an arsenal of special weapons, such as shoulder deployed rocket launchers or wrist-fired grappling hooks.

Exosuits increase a wearer's weight by approximately 400 pounds, something that must be considered when moving through areas not designed to take the weight of an exosuitted squad of soldiers.

The major powers of 2100.
Within the alternate timeline of INFINITY: MIRAGE, nuclear weapons do not exist. Instead, the power balance is dictated by the presence of NOAH, genetically modified human beings capable of impossible feats. Because of this alternate timeline, Japan did not unconditionally surrender during the end of the Second World War. Though they gave up all colonial territories, including Korea, the Japanese still maintain a strong army and strict warrior culture. The Allies during WW2 were much more willing to sign a peace-treaty not as strict with the Japanese to ensure Japanese resistance to communism in Asia. While Japan is noticeably hostile to all nations, their resistance to communism and closeness to China and the Soviet Union has pressured the communist nations from war.

Additionally, the Soviet Union does not face an economic... and therefore political collapse. Although a mutually assured destruction scenario does not occur, the Soviet Union and NATO forces never see an all-out war, instead relying on proxy wars based in the Middle-East and other countries such as Vietnam and Korea.

Seen as weapons of war, NOAHs are often shunned in public society. They are forced to face harsh, government control and are even banned from setting foot in certain countries. While many NOAHs understand their origins as weapons that could possibly cause mass destruction, there are also many NOAHs that see the laws imposed by society as persecution that if left unchecked, could become a genocide similar to the Holocaust. Some radical NOAHs have even begun to resist in different areas of the world, forming terrorist cells and armed militias across the globe.




KoLH30R.png

It is said that the fear of NOAHs was so great that in 2010, a mass migration of people across the world occurred to the Island of Rhodes, a Greek Island within the Mediterranean Sea. Promised to be a "NOAHFREE" country, the city cut all contact from the rest of the world in 2012. It was estimated that nearly 1 million people migrated to the island over the course of two years. Radio transmissions received by local ships in the Mediterranean have reported that the mysterious island nation refers itself as "VALHALLA", threatening any ship or aircraft that strays too close with a barrage of missile fire.

With the passage of the UN's first Anti-NOAH Resolution in 2050, barring any nation from possessing NOAHs within their armies, nations began to use various loopholes to exploit the UN resolutions. A sudden emergence of "Private Security" corporations began to spring up, allowing the nations to not only continue to keep NOAHs as soldiers but also use them in proxy conflicts with no political strings attached.

The first Anti-NOAH Resolution, while temporarily appeasing the public's concerns, only served to worsen the conflicts, giving NOAHs the ability to fight one another without any form of regulation or political consequences. Some of the most notorious Private Military groups emerged during this generation.

Private Security Corporations known for harboring NOAHs:

  • Norsecorp (Funded by: West Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway)
  • Echelon Security Solutions (The United States)
  • London Bridge Trading Company (The United Kingdom)
  • Hanwha Dynamics (South Korea)
  • Kerberos (Soviet Union)
  • Suidokashi Aviation Industries (Japan)
  • Black Steel (Origin Unknown)
In 2100, the new Anti-NOAH resolution was passed, officially barring NOAH from engaging in combat unless in explicit, self-defense situations. With formal backing by the majority of the world's governments, most of the former Private Security Corporations have been relegated to actual security and local police roles. The Private Military Corporation "Black Steel" still continues to operate as a renegade mercenary force, resisting the UN Anti-NOAH resolution.

Relationships
Right, so this is our little sheet to keep track of character relationships before the roleplay starts (tonight!!!) its entirely optional, however further down the line we'll be doing this now and then unless everyone would prefer to build the relationships in character instead. It's just a nifty way to save some time. Make sure to post your relationship here in the OOC if you're going to make one.

Simply suggest the where/how and why of your relationships origin with a character in their tab, then coordinate with the characters player. Once you've both settled on a character relationship (friendship, rivalry etc.) just edit your sheets accordingly and give me a heads up ;D relationships can vary, either having formed before or after joining Infinity and can be as vague or detailed as y'all like. If you prefer being a loner instead, that's totally cool, everyone will become quite familiar with eachother eventually. It's highly likely each character will have their own story arc as well. This is mostly just to get everyone warmed up for the prologue.

Once again, sorry for the delay and here's hoping for a successful roleplay!

    OVERALL OPINION: Strongly Dislikes
    LIKE LEVEL: ✰✰✰✰✰
    DISLIKE LEVEL: ★★★✰✰

    REASONING: Bandit has been known to openly shit-talk Casanova often, purely because of her ability to actually know where she is. Seeing it as a challenge, the very fact Casanova can bypass her abilities makes the thieving NOAH feel incredibly insecure.

    Additionally, Bandit seems to sometimes detest the fact she has to work for INFINITY. Casanova's existence completely bypasses any suicidal attempt to leave the place - not that it'd help much - making Bandit feel trapped in.

    Bandit doesn't have the social proficiency to see through Casanova's secret, caring nature. And therefore, only sees her as a cold and uncaring person. Not fun to mess with, not fun to hang out with. From the perspective of Bandit: a total bore.

    OVERALL OPINION: Useful, but Creepy
    LIKE LEVEL: ★✰✰✰✰
    DISLIKE LEVEL: ★✰✰✰✰

    REASONING: Bandit doesn't really understand Klaus, and is so narrow-minded that she probably will never try to. A part of her understands that all veteran soldiers end up professional or dead, and watching people like Klaus makes her feel dread for the days where she'll go through her own electroshock therapy and become a hardened veteran. Or just, y'know, kill herself. Both thoughts creep her out; seeing Klaus is a creepy reminder.

    Still, if anything, she's entertained by his 'ladies man' side. It takes him a step above 'boring', just enough for her to actually have something to tease him about every now and again, even if it rarely ends in any sort of reaction at all.

    REASONING: Bandit appreciates someone who doesn't act like a military robot and has a sense of normality in them. People like that keep her going; keep her being her, even if she knows most people would rather she got brainwiped.

    She's learned a few tricks from her, and is actually somewhat polite to the NOAH every now and again., Some tips from her caused her to succeed (barely) for the first time in her acrobatics training course. Although Bandit is only mildly chill with her and not a whole lot else, that's saying something for Bandit.

    LIKE LEVEL: ★★★★✰
    DISLIKE LEVEL: ✰✰✰✰✰

    REASONING: Two people who like poking fun, getting into trouble, and sneaking around stealing shit were made for each other. Though Valeria is much more refined than Bandit herself, that doesn't stop Bandit from always having a good time with her pretty much every time they meet.

    Even if Valeria doesn't feel the same way about her, deep down, Bandit doesn't really care if she's just being ignored. Something in Valeria reminds her of home. Where she could do naughty shit and get away with it. When things were actually good. A friend like that isn't worth trading for anything.

    Also, Valeria's more professional and decietful attitude is something Bandit looks up to. Though she'd never admit it, she's jealous of people who are patient enough and have a high enough attention span to play a long game. Bandit's picked up a few tricks from Valeria, and is probably the reason she could take a sidearm from your belt without you noticing.

    REASONING: Even though Bandit is a massive fucking nerd herself, her insecurity of this fact transfers onto Orion - someone who uses his intelligence for things that are probably a whole lot more constructive, and she knows it.

    Bandit actually knew a guy like Orion. A guy she liked to steal from, bully from. Rich kid back from her block in Hawaii... having him around is like having that mook around again. Helps her remind herself how cathartic it feels to talk down to someone and have them do nothing back, but at the same time, it feels oh so unsatisfying.

    As of recently, Bandit's grown bored of teasing Orion seriously and just wants the guy to grow a pair when it comes to other people pushing him around. She's not known for wanting to do many good deeds, but if she can get Orion's confidence up a bit, maybe she can actually smile proudly at a good thing she did, for once.

    LIKE LEVEL: ★★★✰✰
    DISLIKE LEVEL: ★✰✰✰✰

    REASONING: There are parts to Vera Bandit both likes and dislikes. On one hand, she knows some great jokes and knows how to poke fun, but a girl that starts getting all snappy and defensive once you start calling her out on her shit? Nah. Bandit isn't about that, even if it's extremely hypocritical.

    She enjoys watching her 'naughty' side when it comes to wanting to man the big guns, but at the same time, when she starts acting all pretentious about being a NOAH it usually rubs her the wrong way. Her 'heist' is great and all, but at the same time, being a NOAH was what got her out of a luxury Hawaiian lifestyle and got her family fucked over. Even if she doesn't show it, toting being a NOAH around as if it's the best shit ever somewhat triggers her.

    Still, she's certainly not boring to be around, and in this facility - for Bandit - that's what counts.

    REASONING: Sometimes, you just need a guy to talk to. They don't even necessarily have to talk back, they just have to listen and not get all red in the face when you say something mildly offensive. Neil is that guy to Bandit; just a normal outlier you can find every now and again - not always - and spill your secrets to and know most won't slip.

    Bandit also respects people who haven't bent down to fully take orders, like dogs. She likes someone who lazes around every now and again; gets shouted at for trying to sneakily do one less push-up. What matters if he's relatable to her. Probably the most out of any NOAH she's met.

    Just for his company alone and reminding her of the good old times, Bandit likes to slip him some of those military rations he prefers every now and again along with old gifts. In fact, she used to steal so much shit for him that it's the main reason her stealing is strictly monitored nowadays. Hard life.

    REASONING: The big-shots of infinity scare Bandit somewhat, sure. When they bring out big threats of cutting ties for good, but they don't scare her in a way that gets Bandit to respect them. But if there's one woman that can actually get some respect out of the little weasel known as Bandit, it's Annie.

    Though she'll occasionally act cheeky and poke fun at Annie if she's clear of any bad deeds, but if she's done something wrong or had a successful heist of el chancla? She will be pale-faced all day.

    Bandit's not sure what it is about Armstrong that scares her so much. Perhaps it's the fact that somehow, a part of her she thought she forgot about actually respects her for her genuinely supportive attitude. It hurts Bandit, though, because it reminds her too much of her old adoptive mother. Far too much. If it were up to Bandit, Armstrong would just be out of her life for good, even if she's had a few good experiences here and there.

    REASONING: His abilities? Bandit likes. His personality? Bandit can't stand. It's the cliché sort of 'military tough guy' persona - even if genuine after years of being hardened - that Bandit can't stand. Everything he stands for, Bandit doesn't want to be.

    In a sense, people like him are one of her greatest fears. Becoming like that. Seeing enough shit that she just becomes hollow and stern like that, rather than being graceful enough to get a clean bullet through the head or die in some badass explosion in the field. People like him torture themselves to get that strong physically and mentally, and she knows it.

    Bandit wants to avoid him when she can. Maybe poke fun at him now and again, to try and break that facade for her own petty sadistic pleasures; her own defiance against the inevitable.

    ...The turtles are pretty cool, though. Even she can't deny that.















 




  • Reminds Klaus of himself when he was her age, although from what he's heard she seems to be in a league of her own and carries herself on the battlefield mentally like she were playing chess, bringing the best out of her teammates. Probably the only woman hes ever been genuinely attracted to since he was a teenager, so he's always asking to eat together in the chow hall, offering desserts and trying the worst pick-up lines he can think of at any given chance on her, searching for a sense of humor under her stoic demeanor. She's his favorite person to train with and he's been dying to be deployed on the same operation as her to see her skills in person.

    Every now and then asks her to play soccer together with other NOAHs when they have the time, but so far she has yet to accept.







  • @NeonArmageddon

    The closest thing to family Klaus has had in a long time. Having been on countless operations together for several years past the two became very familiar with one another. From one of Klaus' only friends to his best friend, assuming the big brother role for Tamara's sake is one of if not the only thing that makes Klaus feel human and in turn is a remedy for Tamara's insecurity when it came to whether her efforts as a solider were in vain or not. The strength of their bond also made the two an effective duo, which was valuable as neither of them were familiar with operating as a unit. Tamara was a constant reminder to Klaus that every NOAH deserved a second chance at a normal life, even if it meant sacrificing many lives in the process.

    Kai was inadvertently a sore reminder of the life Klaus didn't have the pleasure, or rather luxury of living. He didn't take her vulgarity or eccentric attitude as seriously as other people and actually found it slightly entertaining, although he wouldn't admit it to avoid encouraging her behavior when she should be taking her powers and role as an asset more seriously. She was naive, which he envied, so he could only tolerate her mischief if he was inebriated. Still, he didn't consider her incapable of reaching her full potential. She was chaotic, but inquisitive, always ready and eager to learn, not to mention more or less a teenager. As Klaus realized those traits overtime he grew to tolerate her more, even entertaining her volatile antics occasionally. Whereas others might reprimand her unfavorably, Klaus simply shrugged off her rascal nature, figuring she would eventually comply out of boredom. "Shes got spunk" he'd affirm then look the other way.

    Orion's terrible past experiences with figures of authority had caused him to repress his abilities to form opinions of such individuals, this has extended to Casanova and other commanding ranks of INFINITY. It is less of distrust and more utmost caution mixed in with fear of inproportional retribution.

    Despite having developed such a defense mechanism, it has changed somewhat during his years in INFINITY. Orion can tell that Casanova is different from the people of his past, while not exactly explicitly friendly, he feels safe enough working under her orders.















  • [Transcription of Telepathic Message] --Klaus? Ah...What can I say?--

    >Orion sighs, all previous traces of static had disappeared at this point.

    [Transcription of Telepathic Message] --He's, well, just a better version of me I guess. Better at fighting, planning, talking to girls...really, anything. He can probably be a better scientist than me if he was raised to be that.--
    "He doesn't seem interested though."

    Level of Comfort when Interacting: ⬤⬤⬤⬤◐○○○○○

    More often than not Orion feels like he is a burden to other INFINITY members, but Klaus is the case that stands out the most, being a part of the same division. Oftentimes he feels as if his own NOAH abilities would be better used by him instead, though these sentiments are rarely made known to others.

    Sometimes during off duty hours, Orion has considered consulting Klaus for support of his scientific pursues, but has always refrained from doing so as the other's lack of humanity often acted as a deterrent. During these times Klaus is a somber reminder to Orion that NOAHs weren't meant to be innovators nor pioneers, but only as tools of war.














  • "Oh, Tamara...I mean...um…"

    >His voice was quiet, but it was undoubtedly a vocal message.

    "I think I can talk about her, she's very nice to talk to sometimes, reminds me of my coworkers."
    [Transcription of Telepathic Message] --Oh no, I mean, we are coworkers but---
    "I meant my old coworkers, you know, normal civilians. Sometimes it's hard to believe she's a NOAH agent, and it's why I can talk about her like this."


    >He pauses for a bit, seeminging rewinding the previous statement in his head.

    "Like this, I mean, with my voice. She's calming in that way."

    Tamara is one of the few people that Orion can speak to normally without the use of his telepathy, something that he hasn't done since he left his minuscule slice of civilian life behind. Her relative normality compared to the rest of INFINITY helped her leave a good impression.

    As Orion is often self-conscious about his inability to shut out all his emotions and experiences existential dreads about his idealism, Tamara serves as a reminder that there is no shame in still possessing those things despite being an INFINITY agent.















  • >He chuckles a bit, seeming a bit more relaxed than before.

    [Transcription of Telepathic Message] --I understand her, well, maybe, she's always around calling me a nerd and other names, it feels kind of nice sometimes.--

    >He looks lost in thought.

    [Transcription of Telepathic Message] --I mean, I guess I understand it's bullying, but...being bullied, it's what people do to other humans. It's all part of being treated like a human..right? Oh, sorry, I have a PS12 I need to maintain...the way she treats those devices, miracle they still function...--



    Overall: Precious cinnamon roll
    Level of Like: ⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤○○○
    Level of Comfort when Interacting: ⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤◐○○○○

    People have coping mechanisms, and Orion always assumed Bandit's bullying, trash collecting, cursing and insistence on using her codename all the time is part of those. He is much more supportive than the average INFINITY members of her hobbies, when one is in an environment where death is all too prevalent, latching onto something with pure passion is perhaps the best way to not shrivel and die, metaphorically. He has his calculus and astrophysics, while Kai has her videogames and music collection.

    Whether his guess was correct or not has naught to do with the way he interacts with her, or the way she does with him, but Orion still feels somewhat protective of her bravado, even though he understands she can likely hold her own better than he can with himself.















  • >Orion shudders.

    [Transcription of Telepathic Message] --Ah, I've heard about her, uh, interrogations before...no, it's fine, I'm not exactly fazed by those things...it's part of life isn't it. I wonder if she learned how to do that from somewhere....--

    >He puts his head on the table.

    [Transcription of Telepathic Message] --It's hard to say, she's easy to talk to, but not really...She shys away from certain things. I suppose we all have things like that, I-no one should be going hard on anyone for that.--

    Valeria somewhat unsettles Orion, from her enigmatic style to her confidence in carrying herself, he always attempts to match the other's refinement on the rare occasions that they meet. Yet on some odd deep level she seems to share something similar to him, perhaps it's her tendency to avoid talking about her past, a sentiment that he also holds deeply.

    The sadistic streak that she holds amuses Orion, in a strange combo of being both cathartic and frightening at the same time.

    Vera is one of those people whom Orion can only afford to look at from afar, her liveliness and chattiness are traits that he welcomes and admires but have no idea how to deal with. She simply shines too brightly and has too much energy for him to cope with. He envies her ability to make witty remarks without hesitation and fear.

    What really intrigues Orion is Vera's pride in being a NOAH, as it is not exactly a common trait amongst their kind, it makes him wonder if such a mentality is forged by her past or is it just that some NOAHs are naturally more confident than others.













  • >He clears his throat.

    "Neil...he's the reason why I talk...umm, well, more than I do before. I-I, I didn't know that people like him existed...I guess it was my arrogance...ever since he got transferred here…"
    [Transcription of Telepathic Message] --It's short-sighted of me to think I can talk like this all the time, if we're going up against other NOAHs, sooner or later someone will be able to read these just as well as we can hear.--

    >The messages overlapped as he took a deep breath.

    If Neil didn't have the ability to perceive telepathic messages, Orion may be just fine with him, or even be friends, but all thanks to that one ability it all went downhill. In day to day operations, Orion tries his best to get more comfortable with Neil's presence, to some progress.

    He is trying to hasten that progress ever since the other's transfer into the Mirage division. Neil's own aloofness doesn't help, but it's certainly a subject of envy, as it is a constant reminder to Orion of the type of person he could be if he would just get over his personal flaws.

    [Transcription of Telepathic Message] --She cares a lot about others, I'm not someone who deserves that. It's a terrible feeling, getting a gift that you can't bring yourself to take. She should just focus on the ones who actually need it, so, not me, I think.--

    Growing up on the notion that he deserves no care, Annie's tendency to care for others becomes something extremely overbearing and stressful for Orion to deal with, many of her kind acts do little more than dragging him down further into his self-loathing. He is quite intimidated by her passion for giving out this care, and would sometimes go out of his way to talk her out of her more violent attempts.















  • [Transcription of Telepathic Message] --Ahah, he's, uh, interesting, always kind of angry.--

    >Orion taps the table, trying to think of something

    [Transcription of Telepathic Message] --He doesn't talk a lot, neither do I. Well, I think he talks less than me...he would probably still talk less than me ever if he can talk like this…--

    In professional situations, Orion is fine with Mikhael's stoic attitude, and his silence during off times doesn't stress him out either, it's that type of consistency that he enjoys...as long as they don't have to actually interact.

    This usually isn't hard between a person who dislikes socializing and a person who is terrified of socializing, but Orion loathes the day that they might need to actually have a conversation, as temperament and the looming possibility of sudden outbursts brings him paralyzing anxiety.

  • "Okay, so you know how people are supposed to have emotions? Like, how that's a thing all should have? I'm not sure she does. Actually, I don't think she speaks much either. She's sorta like a robot, but that's most of the military, ain't it?

    Oh, also her power? Useful, but also way creepy. Like, she can track us all from how far? A kilometer? Fuckin' hell, nevermind Big Brother watching, we got Big Sis over here.

    Also she's apparently just allowed to do whatever? Like, she has nobody above her to give orders to her? The lass has to be pretty good to get that sorta treatment. I mean, she just has 3 years on me, and I can't see myself being told 'aight, you just do what you need with these lads' anytime in the next three years. "


    Tamara doesn't know much about Cassanova, and to her knowledge, neither does anyone else. That makes her a bit cautious of her, but she still keeps in mind they're in the military, not in high school, and people have their shit to deal with, sometimes by being quiet and awkward. Honestly, if anything, that's a better way of dealing with trauma than becoming an unlikeable prick and taking it out on others, she reckons.

    She also doesn't know much about how well Cass does in combat, but she assumes she's good, if she got such a high position at such a young age.

    Final verdict: Neutral with a dash of not knowing what her deal is














  • "You know, when I first met him, I thought he was proper dead inside. Like, no emotions at all, kinda like what I think of Cassanova. But we worked together for a while, and I found out that's not true at all. Far from it. He may be a bit... broken, but he's still a caring person, under that cold exterior. You just gotta get to know him a little better.

    He's doing his best to keep me sane, and I do my best to return the favor, I guess. And we carry on, somehow. Even after all the things we've been through. It's good to have someone that cares about you, you know? It feels like you have a home even when you're God knows where getting shot at and covered in mud.


    His shapeshifting shtick creeps me out though, that's his one bad side. Like, imagine just turning into someone else. Useful, but gives me chills for some reason. Feels like you need to be careful not to lose yourself when putting on others' masks."

    Tamara didn't think she'd find a true friend in the military, but for some reason she still doesn't quite understand, she found one in Klaus. When she doubts herself or is reminded of her past, she reminds herself that there's at least one person here who believes in her, and sometimes that's all she needs to keep herself going.

    They've worked together many times, and she knows he's competent and reliable. When it comes to stealth operations, these two together are a duo not to be underestimated.

    Final verdict: Big bro energy














  • "Um... that's me. Shouldn't you, like, skip over me? Let me talk about the next one on the list? No? Fine then. Jeez, is this some narcissism test? You're gonna check if we're not gonna go on about how great we are? Ah, whatever. I don't really know what to say about myself, if I'm being real with you. I mean, I'm just a gal tryin' to do my best, not much beyond that. As much as I wish I was some super-powerful NOAH that could wipe the floor with this world's evildoers, I'm just... Mist Girl.

    I'm not even that good at combat, honestly. I can just sneak around and swing a sword decently. Compared to what some of the other guys here can do, I'm not really outstanding or anything. I mean, my mist powers are mostly good for sneaking around and dodging bullets like a goddamn coward. Well, I could evaporate people, but... No, I promised, never again. The look on the face of that lad I turned to mist, as his body disappeared... you never forget that. You never live that down.

    Well, that brought us into a downer mood, didn't it? I'm not all sad and sappy though, I promise. I can go for a drink with someone, I can joke around, I'm not a stick in the mud. I'm more than just my past, aren't I? I still want to atone for it, but I can't let it define me. Crap, I'm getting into the sappy and philosophical again... please don't make me talk about me ever again."


    She doesn't think much of herself, but she knows if she's here, it's because she can be useful, so she's aware she isn't useless either. She does her best, always, and she likes to think she's likeable and pleasant to be around. Other than that, she prefers not to think about herself.

    Final verdict: I'm okay, I hope














  • "Ah, the lil' gremlin thief gal. Yeah, I know her. Can't say I'm fully on board with her just grabbing random stuff from God knows where in the world, but she's alright. I mean, for one, she has a personality beyond being a soldier, and that's already a big plus. I mean, if I wanted to be stuck around a whole bunch of stiff dicks, I would've gone to work at a brothel... She's fun to be around though.

    Oh, how I feel about her always being a nuisance? Well, she hasn't been kicked out yet, so she hasn't done anything that serious, now has she? Well, I hear the higher-ups have their knickers in a knot over her, but hey, they're keeping her around. Maybe it's like a reverse Stockholm Syndrome, they brought her here and they like her too much to drop her. You gotta admit she has some charm despite being... you know, herself.

    Am I aware she keeps breaking into the database and changing stuff? No, first time I hear of that... She gave herself how many stars on the report card?! Hahahaha... oh, I'm sorry but you gotta admit that's fucking hilarious. Like, come on. No, not even a little chuckle? Alright, jeez. You guys are no fun at all."


    She quite likes Kai, despite her being a little thieving brat. It makes her feel really human in the eyes of Tamara, and she clings to any humanity in this profession that seems to turn people into essentially machines. Kai's anything but a machine: she has flaws, she can have fun, she's complex and unpredictable. Some of it may be her trying to get people's attention. Tamara doesn't mind. Craving attention is a very human thing, and she finds it sort of cute even?

    She's unsure about her stealing powers and how she abuses them, but when they're stealing from the enemy - she really appreciates them. She wishes Kai was a little less... reckless.

    Final verdict: We stan a gremlin prankster














  • "Alright, she can't hear me say this, so let me just get it out there: she's one fine looking lady. What? Am I not allowed to find my comrades attractive? Oh, get over yourselves, you're probably drooling over her too, stop snickering like a bunch of morons. Cunts. Anyway, she's pretty alright, I reckon. Feline-like charm, mysterious, knack for mischief... that's a good combo. Not sure if a good one for military, I'm talking more on a personal level.

    Another one that doesn't seem broken yet. Though I think she's not the type to be broken, I mean, she carries around a whip for crying out loud, if anything, she's gonna be doing the breaking around here. It would be a very pleasant breaking though... Anyway, what else... well, I'd like to get to know her better sometime. I don't know much about her, I know she and Bandit are pretty tight, and Bandit's alright, so I reckon Caipora has to be too. I think I only talked to her like once or twice... I always felt hot when talking to her. No, she wasn't using Temperature Control, I'm pretty sure she's just an absolute babe that can make a gal flustered, that's all.

    Wait, Bandit can show the transcript to her... Can we redo this with me sounding less horny? No? Ah, bollocks."


    Tamara quite likes Valeria, despite only being acquaintances. It's in part due to her good looks, in part due to Tamara feeling she was also... normal. She feels like Valeria gets her need to remain human and "normal", whatever that could really mean, in the situation they're in. They obviously don't have the same story, but she feels some sort of unspoken understanding between them. Or at least, she silently understands Valeria.

    She hasn't heard much about what Valeria can do on the battlefield, but if she's still in Infinity, and alive, she can't be bad at what she does, right?

    Final verdict: Tam's horny on main














  • "Right, Mr. Supercomputer Brain... he's probably useful to have around, but his powers seem kind of creepy. I mean, turning off parts of your brain? That seems... wild. And that's how he never sleeps too. Imagine just not sleeping, like ever. No wonder his eyes look like he was dead for the last 3 years, you gotta let those eyeballs rest too sometime, hon. Can't keep looking at screens 24/7/365 and expect to be perfectly healthy.

    To be fair, I feel awkward talking to him, you know? The guy has like, five times the smarts I do, I feel like a complete airhead next to him. I mean, he's gonna start talking about astrophysics and I'll do what exactly? Say 'ah, I understand at least two of the words you just said'? I'm no match for him, intelligence-wise. I mean, I'm not dumb, per se, but this guy's on a different level, I feel."


    She doesn't know Orion well, and she's keeping her distance. To her, he has a weird aura of superiority that she can't seem to look past, and she's genuinely embarrassed to talk to him one-on-one. She respects him though - he's a smart man, he has a background in science. That's way more than she's ever achieved. I mean, she got pulled from high school for killing a kid, go figure.

    As she said, his powers kind of freak her out, but mostly in a "this can't be healthy for him" way.

    Final verdict: The one person you don't wanna be called a moron by














  • "Occam? The gal that can make earthquakes, right? I hardly know her, I'm afraid. She seems nice enough, though, I guess. I might try and get to know her better sometime, we'll see.

    Have I heard there were complaints that she gets better gear than others? No, but no shit she does? She has those mind powers and whatnot, and if she's using them to get better gear for the battlefield, well more power to her, honestly. Like, she's making do with her powers, and aren't we all?

    Am I afraid she'll try to mind control me? Why the hell would she do that? You guys have terrible questions... No, I'm not. I don't think I'm important enough for her to waste energy on. Now are you gonna start asking better questions, or are we done here?"


    Tamara doesn't know Vera, but she doesn't mind her. She's sort of a person that exists and that she's aware of, but not much beyond that. She's heard rumors of what she can do with her mind powers, but she assumes at least half of those are made up bullshit, so she takes them with a grain of salt. Still, she likes to be cautious around her... just in case.

    Final verdict: Neutral, but definitely don't piss off that one














  • "Ah, the dude that's always chilling. Yeah, I like him. He's not overwhelmingly smart like Stargazer, and he isn't a machine of war, you know what I'm saying? He's just kind of... normal, weirdly enough. And you'd think the one who can use telekinesis would be the wacky one, with a few screws loose... I mean, they're always the spiritual weirdos in like, books and shows and whatnot. I'm honestly glad ESP's not like that. God, imagine if he started yammering about blocked chakras during an operation...

    Somehow he's even less equipped than I am? Here I was thinking I'm bringing very little gear, but then this dude goes and one-ups me, just a pistol and knife? Buddy, that's a lot of trust in your powers... mad respect for that."


    They're not super close or anything, but she knows him, and she admits, she likes his low-energy style of being. She's not sure if his is the most effective approach to life, but damn if it isn't neat to just hang around someone quiet and mellow. Plus, he's smart without feeling scary like Orion is to her. He's just... yeah, normal. And that's what Tamara likes the most.

    She doesn't know much about his combat skills, but she assumes if he comes with so little gear, he has to be amazing with his powers.

    Verdict: Vibin'














  • "This one I'm very conflicted on. She kind of reminds me of my mom, which is nice... but it's like... my mom if she could snap spines in half? Does that make any sense? She's alright though. I don't think I ever got into much trouble with her. I mean, I'm a good girl, obviously. I hear Bandit's terrified of her though. Something about slippers? I don't know, back in Motherland we don't toss footwear at people.

    But anyway, anyone who cares about others is alright in my book, and she seems to care, so as I said - she's fine. As far as powers go, the muscle shifing thing sounds weird and gross, more so than most other NOAH powers I've heard of. Well, I'm saying it's weird like I wasn't able to turn into a cloud... but you get what I'm saying... it's kinda grotesque, basically."


    Tamara doesn't mind Armstrong, in fact, she kinda feels some sort of sympathy towards her. With her mom being so far away and with little to no contact with her, having a sort of mother figure is comforting. Well, she's not exactly like her mom - her mom wasn't a buff Latina, but she still has similar energy, and it gives Tamara that little glimmer of normal life she feels she kind of lost.

    She has no idea how Armstrong does in combat, but she assumes a person like her can't be a bad soldier.

    Final Verdict: Mom friend














  • "Robot man. No, literally, not much else can be said here. He's exactly the sort of person I hope to never become - he doesn't seem like he feels anything, even more so than Cassanova. I mean, at least she feels like she cares about something. I don't know what exactly, but bloody hell, at least I'm convinced she does. Meanwhile Running Man over here seems like he's just blank. Nothing. He's just gotta do the thing. Nothing else matters. I mean, I guess his devotion to get the work done is admirable, but jeez, at this point you're barely a person.

    I don't like him, and I don't think he much cares about that, so I guess it's whatever. I'll work with him if I have to, but I bet it's not gonna be a pleasant thing for either of us."


    She doesn't get Jericho, nor does she want to understand him. To her, he's a military machine, more than a human, and that's one thing she can't look past. He might be useful. He might be powerful. But he's just like a hollow shell, and that she just can't stand.

    Final Verdict: The Tin Man from Oz
