Chapter 1: A New Power
[/align]

Contractors – A contractor is an individual who uses special powers in exchange for a price. The power is usually related to the price paid and in some cases a price can be paid in full but this is a rare case. In addition to them obtaining new powers they seem to lose all sense of emotion and act rationally rather than being guided by emotions.

Dolls – A doll is a being who does not do a single activity unless told to do so. Much like contractors Dolls were previously humans who have lost emotion. The difference between a contractor’s powers and a Doll’s is that a doll can use specters to see long distances through a medium. This medium could be anything from water to brick to glass.

Specter – Specters are controlled by dolls. They are like secondary eyes for a doll. These can only be seen by contractors and other dolls. To them it appears as a few bits of black material surrounded in a blue aura.

PANDORA Files Latest Events

The Gate Incident – During the sun’s latest sun spot cycle there was an incredible surge of energy from the center of Hell’s Gate caused by BK201 and the Meteor Shard. The energy surge was then transferred into that star and used to end the destruction of all contractors. After news of this plan was released to the press, along with the existence of contractors and dolls, the public had a field day pointing fingers at PANDORA.

With the Director of the Tokyo Police involved in this situation it was almost a total breakdown of the high ranking research government positions. Now with new and younger members filling in the spots PANDORA struggles to recuperate as the Syndicates battle it out for control of the Tokyo City.

Tokyo is down to three factions in the streets. The first, of course, is the Tokyo Police. They try to keep the order and take what advantages they got against the other two forces. With their restricted gun power they are forced to rely on hired contractors to settle larger and more intense affairs.

The second is an American mobster group called Pike. Their biggest claim is the resources they have backing them. Although they are a prominent group in the city it does take awhile for them to have “resources” shipped over to them. Seeing as most of those items are illegal and the distance covers a lot of checkpoints they tend to arm light and recruit many contractors. Sticking with the group you are assigned to has been something of a trademark in the Pike group.

Finally there is the New Chinese Syndicate. This group of gangsters, unlike Pike, are operated out of a counsel of families. Each control their own men and discuss things together. With different people controlling some of the power there have been inner squabbles before. To prevent any kind of devious plans being concocted they thought it was best if each team was strictly assigned and changed on a regular basis. Each team usually has one human, one doll, and one contractor. The time they work together varies on the job they are assigned to. Sometimes it is just a day and sometimes it is a month.

With all three constantly fighting each other there was no way anyone could tell what was to happen next. In one day the city would go from a quiet place to a battlefield. The one question that was asked the most…what started it? Well it was early that morning a certain Syndicate member was found dead in a hotel. His name was Mao Xai and the calling card left by his assassin was the ace of hearts with a knife through it straight into his heart.

The time is eight in the morning, and the day shift for the Tokyo Police is just receiving word of his death. Things have to be kept under control so what are you to do?

Re: Red as Crimson Chapter 1: A New Power

Name: Song Mei

Age: 24

Appearance: ((original link failed so i guess this is her new appearance since i can't find another similar one >>))
66870-bigthumbnail.jpg



Faction: New Syndicate

Entity: Human

Power & Price/Medium/Weapons: She prefers bladed weapons but is also known to use guns (generaly rifles or pistols) but she is quite adaptive so she can turn almost anything she needs into a weapon of choice

Personality: She really doesn't seem to talk much and has what some might call a serious personality. Very rarely will she be found smiling though she does exhibit some amount of sarcasm. Despite this generally distant personality she gives off if you are lucky enough to break through her barriers she is actually quite the affectionate individual with a well rounded personality (she just keeps it hidden for her own reasons)

History: Mei never really lived a 'typical' life. She lived and grew up as a member of the new syndicate, her father being a prominent member. Thus from a young age she was taught to fight and defend, soon rising in skill level to be able to go out on various 'jobs' for the new syndicate by the age of 15. Mind you through all of this she had a great dislike of her father and still does, but she doesn't really disclose why to anyone. Being on the job a lot she's traveled around much but recently they've been keeping her around Tokyo.

[BG="4A4A4A"][DASH="3B5323"]

Name: [Originlly Emmaline Bowen] Emmaline "Emma" Griffin

Age: 15

Appearance:
Emmaline.jpg


Faction: Pike

Entity: Contractor

Star Number: EG101

Power & Price/Medium/Weapons: Emmaline has the power to manipulate people's minds through touch for an amount of time. After she uses her ability, however, she is forced to turn into a sparrow for the same amount of time.

Personality: Emmaline seems to be an emotionless, brooding young girl. She's impulsive, doesn't think twice and takes people and danger very lightly. She can be rude and hateful and although a precocious child, she doesn't care much for what other people say or think. She's prone to break the rules and leave them broken without so much as the slightest guilt and she'll do anything to get her way, even if it means crossing forbidden lines. Emma wishes she could remember her life before Pike; if she could remember, she believes, she could possibly enjoy her life now. But the only things in her memories are brief flashes and blurry images, all that remains of Emmaline Bowen.

History: Emma was fortunate enough to live a normal life until she was almost nine years old. Her parents were driving home from a party one night when a freight truck collided head on with the car. Everyone except Emma was killed. An unconscious Emma was rushed to the hospital where she lay lifeless in a severe coma for several days. During this time, she was spotted by Pike members who had been looking for new recruits. One of the upper members, seeing that the child had little chances of adoption otherwise, decided to take the girl into her own custody, changing her last name from Bowen to Griffin. When Emma awoke, suffering from amnesia, it was Pike that welcomed her. Her new surname, Griffin was now a symbol for her miraculous recovery as well as a pet name with Pike members. She grew up with them, with no memory of her past, and around her eleventh birthday, discovered her powers as a contractor. From then on, Pike trained her to become one of their stronger members and sent her on special missions.

Re: Red as Crimson Chapter 1: A New Power

This is the same old character, just changed the name a bit and the past made a bit different.

Hmm..Hope the others rejoin soon.

Name: Kane Lai

Age: 23

Appearance:
vydril.jpg

Faction: New Syndicate

Entity: Contractor

Star Number: AX909

Power & Price/Medium/Weapons: Gravity Manipulation, he can adjust gravity to send targets flying or crashing down. The issue with this however, his price is having to drink juice made from blended rotten whale flesh. This is both disgusting and not easy to come across, thus Kane has to plan out when he'll need to activate his power.

Personality: Kane is calm, almost care-free and rather lazy. Kane is taking things easy to compensate for how hard he had to work in his childhood and early years. He is loyal to the New Syndicate but he does intend to rise up in the ranks one day, whether it requires back-stabbing or not. He plans ahead and always seems to be thinking, to size up his comrades and to think his actions through before he proceeds. He is not very greedy or selfish.

He isn't very friendly or social but he tries to get to know those he works with at least. He's also not violent, he will only start a fight/kill if it's part of his current mission or if it's a situation that calls for it such as a rival syndicate attacking or if Kane himself is attacked.

History: Kane grew up in China. His family was rather poor and thus throughout most his life, he had to work very hard, getting a part time job to help the family with it's money troubles. However at the age of seventeen, because his cousin had connections to the New Syndicate, he was able to join and became a rather well known and successful contractor in his own right.

He left China to aid in the New Syndicate's expansion plans. His family no longer has money troubles and thus he just wishes to maintain his spot and eventually rise up to become a top class Contractor in the New Syndicate.
 
Re: Red as Crimson Chapter 1: A New Power

So far everyone is accepted. I'll have my character up pretty soon. I'm thinking perhaps Monday we'll get this thing started.
 
Re: Red as Crimson Chapter 1: A New Power

Name: Roy Rhein

Age: 29

Appearance:
royrhein.jpg

Faction: Tokyo Police

Entity: Contractor

Star Number: IZ481

Power & Price: Like his magic tricks he can make himself vanish and become invisible as well as make other objects do the same. Roy’s price is almost perfectly suited to him, he bows and takes his hat off as if accepting applause.

Personality: He takes light even the most drastic situation. His upbeat attitude makes people really doubt if he is a contractor or not.

History: Roy’s past is much like any other contractor. He was once a normal human doing his normal things until the Gate changed his life. He used to be a travelling magician up until six years ago. After a bad gig in Tokyo he was forced to stay there. Now he works for the police trying to get enough money to go back home to England.


Alright there is my character. I will have the IC up in a couple minutes.

Age: 19

Appearance:
99d52eb91dbc4d79dac7a6955d611d34.jpg

-Left

Airi rarely wears anything but a simple pair of cream colored slacks and an orange blouse. Her hair is often held back by orange bands that keep it from her face. Her eyes are a softly reflective brownish yellow and she stands at five feet six inches.

Faction:
Tokyo Police

Entity: Doll


Medium: Water

Personality:
Gentle and soft-spoken, Airi is an overall meek creature.

History:
Airi and Aimi were raised together by their parents, taught love and understanding. When the twins were twelve, their parents were both killed in front of them by a robber seeking their money. The pair were horrified, withdrawing from the world.

Airi became distant and timid, afraid of people and wishing to help others while Aimi became vengeful, closing her heart to anything save the eradication of all she despises.

Name: Kotone, Aimi

Age: 19

Appearance:
99d52eb91dbc4d79dac7a6955d611d34.jpg

Faction:
New Syndicate

Entity: Doll


Medium: Metal

Personality:
Cool and professional, Aimi can seem sweet and is a wonderful actress but beneath it all is held the ember of pain and bitterness, the tears and fears of a little girl no one could help.

History:
Airi and Aimi were raised together by their parents, taught love and understanding. When the twins were twelve, their parents were both killed in front of them by a robber seeking their money. The pair were horrified, withdrawing from the world.

Re: Red as Crimson Chapter 1: A New Power

((not to double-post but... PIRO!?))
 
Re: Red as Crimson Chapter 1: A New Power

Yes if you are looking for an accepted you are accepted Kitti. The only question I have is do you want that doll with the Tokyo Police Force to meet up with Roy then? It will make the story roll along a bit faster.
 
Re: Red as Crimson Chapter 1: A New Power

If you want... ^_^
 
Re: Red as Crimson Chapter 1: A New Power

Edit: Eh maybe Saturday will be a more reasonable day to get my post in.

Hmm well I'll get onto making my post sometime tomorrow. It's good to see this back but Pike still is a bit short hmmm...
 
Re: Red as Crimson Chapter 1: A New Power

I have someone who is willing to participate. If Miru obeys Piro's commands listens to my advice we should have one more for Pike making two for each group if I count it all up correctly.
 
Re: Red as Crimson Chapter 1: A New Power

I could make another character for Pike, if it would make things easier, Piro-kunn <3
 
Re: Red as Crimson Chapter 1: A New Power

Well for now we'll see if Miru joins up. I'd rather have players than NPC's. I deal enough with NPC's when writing for ICSYL. *inward sigh* Anyway if it comes down to it you can create an NPC to use Sakii-chan. I'm going to give Miru until Monday to create a character. That should be enough time for him.

P.S. If you are reading this Miru Monday is the deadline for the Sophismata character too.
 
Re: Red as Crimson Chapter 1: A New Power

piro....do you want me to make another post?? or who all are we waiting on?
 
Re: Red as Crimson Chapter 1: A New Power

Alright here's the scoop. I originally thought Miru was going to join but apparently he's been having some problems. So this is how we are going to solve it.

POST POST POST!!!

Yeah we'll have to post so if you can get a post in I suggest you do that. As for Sakura, I'd like to see a post from you as well. You will have to make NPC's outta the rest of your time so you will have pretty free dialogue. Roy will join with you rather shortly. From there we will approach the election for the New Syndicate which happens at noon. That will be the first dramatic event and I think everyone will like how it plays out.

If you are wondering how far we are going to take this RP I was thinking along the lines of either 9-10pm or midnight to add some drama to the situation. Either way it is bound to be a fun chapter and the second chapter will only be more interesting.
 
Re: Red as Crimson Chapter 1: A New Power

Soweeeh for the long wait for my post.
I'll be more active for sure now :3

Thank you for waiting :)

Ooh. And hope the coffeeshop thing is OK ;D
 
Re: Red as Crimson Chapter 1: A New Power

I just made my own post. I would like to get moving to Chinese Syndicate Territory. So if you could put in your next post getting on a train or something that would be nice.

PS I'm still editing my post as I had not realized we were headed to a coffee shop until my post was up.
 
Re: Red as Crimson Chapter 1: A New Power

Posted. Hope it's not too absurd but Kane shouldn't really be going too far away from the syndicate's HQ in times like these..
 
Re: Red as Crimson Chapter 1: A New Power



Name:Aika Kuronai

Age:15

Appearance:
2.jpg
Faction: Pike

Entity: Contractor

Star Number: XZ180

Power & Price/Medium/Weapons: She has the ability to heal people from their pain. With this power, she is forced to turn into a white bunny at night.

Personality: A girl who will always be ready to help someone find their own happiness. If it means using her powers, she is willing to do it. She is always smiling, cheerful and naive. She doesn't take things to heart and she never expresses her sadness- so it'll never be known. She likes to help people, even strangers. She's the type to walk right up to you and help out in anyway.

History: She always lived alone, after her parents abandoned her at the age of 5. She was found by a lady who later became a Pike member. When Aika discovered her abilities at six, she decided to use them for good. Her fate with the Pike members remains a mystery...for now.
