Arano

[Seraph]

Name: Arano [Wasteland]
Aliases: Agent Charon, Project CHAOS
Age: 16
Birthday: June 21st
Hair Color: Indigo
Eye Color: Icy Blue
Laterality: Left-handed
Affiliation: Cerberus Contracting - Senior Agent; Weapons Combat Expert

[Persona] Cold-hearted and ruthlessly aggressive, mercy and compassion are almost alien subjects to Arano. He does take the safety of others into his plans, but to him his allies are nonetheless expendable. When around others, he tends to keep silent save when he is in charge, the only exception in this scenario being to point out the mistakes of others before correcting them properly, be it in their plans or their fighting style. He believes that organization is a necessary part of any plan, actively seeking to create or join groups which can help suit his needs. In combat, his attitude radically changes according to his opponent, becoming either sarcastic and mocking to drive them into a blind rage or completely silent to better focus on combat.

He isn't superstitious, preffering cold facts to theories and rumours. Due to his past, he has long since discarded the need for trust or dependability, only opening up to a person when they have fully proven themselves to be his ally, or even friend. There are few who can claim such a position, and only recently have the scars of his young life begun to heal over, allowing him to once more open up to others.

http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/1497/seraphrecolor.png[Physical Appearance] Standing at a healthy height of 5’8” Arano keeps himself at top physical condition at all times, refusing to allow his body to dull in terms of either strength or speed. A multitude of small scars, the result of an early age hollow attack, run down his arms in a tiger-stripe pattern. His eyes, often hidden from view by a pair of sunglasses that he constantly keeps on him are both his best and worst feature. Being a mixture of an icy blue around the edges and fading into a darker blue towards the pupil, the most significant fact is that his pupils are in fact slit pupils, resembling cat’s eyes, though this has no apparent affects on his eyesight. His hair is a dull indigo that reaches his ears, having been kept closely cut by him. Since awakening his powers, Arano has swapped his sweater for a grey and black jacket with a navy blue muscle shirt underneath.

[Biography] Arano detests talking about his past, only ever mentioning it to curse his old family. He was a runaway, having been born to a very religious family in Fukushima. The natural appearance of his eyes caused a rift in his family, with one half believing him to be unlucky or possibly even cursed, and the other claiming that he was just an innocent child. He grew up amongst this rift, and once old enough ran away to Tokyo, hoping to find some semblance of peace from the conflict of his own home. While there he did learn the basics of Kendo and received some of the conditioning necessary for Muay Thai. Most of his fighting is based on free styling, often meaning that he never comes out of a fight unscathed.

His abilities as an Advent Human are derived from his mother’s side of the family, which has had a history of spiritually aware humans. His history with the supernatural began just a few years after being born at the age of six, when he began to see the spirits of souls who had yet to pass on. He saw his first hollow when he was eight, and since then he has had a history of nightmares concerning the beasts, leaving him with a case of chronic insomnia and a phobia of the beasts. Only recently has he begun to conquer his fear of hollows, seeking to confront them so that he might be able to once again find peace amidst his chaotic life.

[Feat][Rei Genkai]

Money: 22,300 Credits

Ewer Patch
Price: 4k credits
To Activate: 500 reiatsu
This black patch must be filled with a drug at the time of purchase (each sold separately). The name of the drug is then written on the patch in white for easy identification. Applied to the skin and activated in the same way as Negation Patch, this patch automatically introduces a drug to the bloodstream without the need for syringes or pills.


Cybercell D
Purchasing Cost: 2k credits
Prerequisites: 300 reiatsu, 100 resistance
Duration: 4 rounds
Cost to Activate: 300 reiatsu
Some field work requires an agent to overcome the limitations of his own fears and pain to accomplish the task at hand. This set of nanomachines is injected into the temple, where the tiny robotic implements quickly travel through the bloodstream and adhere to the amygdala, where they secret small amounts of neurotoxins that block the fear and pain receptors of the brain, effectively halting those emotions. It has also been known to deaden other emotions at random in agents who do not possess a large amount of resistance to its side effects. The ability to ignore pain may also increase the agent’s general endurance.

Cortaboost D
Purchasing Cost: 700 credits
Prerequisites: N/A
Duration: Variable
Cost to Activate: Variable
This clear serum can be injected to double the duration of any other Cerberus drug above at the same activation cost as the drug itself. Cortaboost (of any level) can be used safely only three times per mission.


Microid
This microchip implanted under the skin of an agent releases a constant pulse that draws a small amount of the agent’s reiatsu into their muscle tissue, effectively raising any strength multiplier received under the base tech Internalize by one tier (e.g. at 5,000 reiatsu, an agent would have 6x human strength). The release of the reiatsu is taxing however, and can only be used for five rounds before its use must be discontinued for another five rounds.

Ieru Kara Yozen: To Recover at the Brink of Ruinhttp://www.aviddesignblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/blog-2009-023-caduceus-2.gif

[Physical Appearance] A small, navy blue, asterisk-shaped tattoo placed on the back of Arano’s left shoulder. Inside this asterisk is a picture of the Rod of Asclepius.

[Abilities] The seal is Riki’s first project in R&D. After studying the nature of the seal which suppressed Arano’s memories, he derived his own one which could hold the healing properties of the Blessing of Asclepius. At any point during a fight, Arano may feed the seal, having it absorb 100 of his reiatsu. This amount peaks at 1000 reiatsu, though the seal may be activated at any time in between. Once activated, the seal sends the stored reiatsu, now converted into a condensed healing energy, throughout his body to heal wounds. For every 100 reiatsu stored the healing effects last a round, with minor wounds healing in 5 rounds and major wounds healing at the maximum amount of rounds, 10. It is possible to stagger these waves of healing energy, feeding more reiatsu to the seal shortly after activating it to prepare for another use.

[Acquisition] Upon returning from the Vancouver mission, Riki requested he be allowed to study the now inactive memory seal on Arano. By studying its properties, he derived a similar one which would hold not memories, but the healing properties of his own Awakening.

[Seraph]

[Awakenings]




"]
[Yakunan]
[I]Calamity

Arano’s own actions and the appearance of his eyes have led to him believing himself to be a monster of sorts. Yakunan supports this ideology in both its purpose and appearance. When activated, the squelching of flesh occurs as the tiger-stripe scars on his arms disappear amidst bloodied bone, almost completely coating his arms in pieces of thorn-like bones. The entire process of activating Yakunan is extremely painful to undergo, often leaving him out of breath. Once activated, its cost immediately takes toll, as his reiatsu tried to stop the bleeding caused by Yakunan’s activation. Having it active on one arm requires Arano pay 3% of his reiatsu per turn in order to keep the blood loss under control, while using both arms amounts to 6% of his reiatsu. When active, the bone’s density is altered through its saturation in reishi, becoming akin to that of a zanpakutou.

[Zansatsu]
Massacre

By paying a fee, Arano may extract his own bones, using Yakunan to replace them. For every foot of bone extracted, 250 reiatsu must be paid with each extra foot accumulating the cost. Any amount under a foot costs 100 reiatsu. Once created, it may be formed into a singular shape a single time, before being extracted. This shape is limited to crude forms, and as they are not directly tied to Arano’s own reiatsu once extracted their durability is only similar to that of steel and therefore easily bested by most reiatsu-based attacks. The maximum amount of feet per extracted bone is 10, though this limit increases by 2 for every 4000 harmony he has, capping at 20 feet. By paying an extra 500 reiatsu, Arano may forcefully launch the bone as a projectile weapon.

[True Awakening]


[Shinsei Akumu]
True Nightmare

Having finally accepted the darkness within him, Arano becomes a vessel for it. His skin turns a bone white, with his pupils and iris switching colours within his eyes. His body is lost amongst bone as his transformation encompasses his entire body with strength akin to that of a zanpakuto, the two most prominent features being a wiry tail extending from his lower back and a pair of gauntlets coating his forearms and hands ending in claws. The process, though quick, causes a great deal of pain to Arano when activated, usually requiring an outside source to alleviate it.

[Kiwa no Hakkyou]
Edge of Insanity

The once painful and slow process of creating weapons from Arano’s Awakening has begot a near mastery of it, allowing him to creating weapons from his own body, costing him 1 reiatsu per lb. These weapons have resilience akin to that of a zanpakuto, and the speed at which these bones are created is decided by his combat stat. The shape of these weapons is crude at best, but so long as Arano’s reiatsu can supplement it then a rough imitation of just about any weapon can be made. The wounds caused by removing these bones heal immediately, having no effect beyond the pain they cause.

[Kourin no Senmetsu]
Advent of Annihilation

A wound is not merely surface damage, internal wounds are one of the most deadly sort. This fact is the basic reasoning for prompt first aid whenever injuring oneself. Kourin no Senmetsu was designed to spit in the face of such a thought. Whenever contact is made by an enemy with Shinsei Akumu or the weapons made by Kiwa no Hakkyou, an opportunity arises for this attack to be activated. By paying 1% of his reiatsu, Arano may infect the wound by injecting a small splinter-like thorn of bone into the place of contact. Once injected, the cost may be paid again to any active thorn, causing it to then grow and deal damage equivalent to the energy paid to make it grow. This cost may be paid once per turn to each thorn. Once the battle has ended, the thorns are rendered inactive and can no longer have reiatsu further siphoned to them, allowing them to be removed without fear of it simply deepening into its own wound.


[Abilities]



Shinigami and hollows gain strength from being spiritual creatures and the energies associated with them. Quincies gain strength from manipulating the world around them. Advent Humans are different in that their strength comes from within and is inherent in both their body and their spirit. What affects their spirit affects their body and as their Reiatsu grows stronger, so does their physical form.

Advent humans, especially ones experienced in combat, often undergo an augmentation of physical strength that extends even to superhuman levels. It manifests itself differently in each being as some experienced enhanced strength only when threatened and fighting a powerful opponent while others enjoy such effects at all times.

The increase to strength is directly proportional to the Combat stat. Note that this enhancement is not a modifier to the combat stat but rather an expression of it.

3000 combat – 3x base human strength



[Unshakable]
Advent Humans are far more vulnerable than their spiritual counterparts as their powers are tied inextricably to their corporeal forms. Fortunately, as an Advent Human’s Reiatsu grows, so does his ability to protect his physical form, using his supernatural powers to allow his body to weather attacks that would kill a normal human and at higher levels, recover from mortal blows far faster than any normal being. These effects are directly proportional to an Advent Human’s Resistance stat.

2000 resistance – 2% physical damage reduction


[Fight or Flight]
While Advent Humans cannot move instantaneously like other beings, they have other ways to compensate for enemies who utilize shunpo, sonido, or hirenyaku.

The first is reaction speed, as the anticipation of an attack, even a near instant one, can make the difference between a potentially lethal attack and successful evasion. As agility increases, so does an Advent Human’s ability to perceive and react.

The second is more overt. While Advent Humans cannot walk on air in the face of physical laws they can use their power to surpass the limitations of humans. They can their increased speed to perform post-human levels of speed and acrobatics; leaping immense distances and running on flat surfaces for brief periods of time. As agility increases, so do these abilities.

<Reaction time increases by 2% per 1000 agility, capping out at 20% increased reaction speed.>
90 Step - 4,500 Agility - 900 Reiatsu




[Reiraku Tanran]
A special sensory skill reserved only for Shinigami whose capabilities have matured markedly. Reiraku Takan allows the Shinigami to deeply focus upon the spiritual signatures of all surrounding entities within a certain area and manually compress them all into different-colored "threads." The maximum range of this ability is the same as the Shinigami's highest Reiatsu Noukan range. Colors are as follows:

White : Normal soul, Plus soul, Quincy
Red : Shinigami
Black : Hollow
Dark Red : Arrancar, Masked Vizard


[Feats]

[Rei Genkai – [I]“Zero Limit”]
[Type: Trained]
The user has put his/herself through brutal, rigorous and punishing training. This training resulted in them gaining both a pain threshold far beyond anything thought possible, and the ability to surpass the body’s physical limitations regularly with little consequences. They now have a passive resistance to all forms of pain and manipulation, be they physical, mental, emotional or otherwise. In addition, by paying 1% of the user's reiatsu per round, their body may ignore non-lethal or debilitating wounds, allowing them to ignore the effects of blood loss or other detrimental things.

Learning Requirements:
- At least 2 training collaborations with another user


[Division Techniques]


[Warimashi - Bonus]
This tech adds benefits onto an agent’s Cerberus salary (the thing you rp on your own that let's you buy toothpaste). The benefits come in the form of credits that can be spent within the company on the organizations’ items that have undergone enough testing to be viably used in the field, or on any other items available to all Advent Humans for purchase (e.g., kidou scrolls). An agent’s benefits scale along with his position into the following tiers:
Agent – 2k credits per week
Senior Agent – 4k credits per week
Assistant Department Director – 8k credits per week
Department Director – 20k credits per week
Note: Additional salary bonuses may be earned through missions.

[Oushurin - Controlled Response]
Cerberus operatives know the value of reiatsu allocation during and battle and are adept at its usage. At the beginning of any battle, a Cerberus member may put a portion of his reiatsu away into storage. This reiatsu pool grows at a rate of 10% per round until it is brought back into play, usually to devastating effect.

[Name: Izou – “Legacy”]
[Release Command: Sakarau Tenjou – “Defy the Heavens!”]
[Bankai: Koden – “Legend”]
[Manifestation] Seizonsha takes the form of an old, four-winged eagle with scars decorating its body, the most prominent one being a large one that runs down its right eye. He has an old, raspy voice that speaks with constant wisdom, though at times it can be mistaken for senility as he almost always speaks in riddles to Tougen.
Tougen’s Inner World takes the form of an endless sky decorated by a multitude of clouds. The whole setting is illuminated by a permanent sunset, the location of which is unknown.

----------------------------------------
[Sealed Form] Tougen's Zanpakuto is a standard length katana with a wave design on the edge. The blade is shining silver, a sign of Tougen's vigilance in cleaning it. The hand guard is a silver cross pattern. The grip is black leather wrapped in a light red cloth. The sheath is also a light red, with three bands of silver metal stretching around the width.
----------------------------------------

[Shikai Form] Upon the release of Izou, an intricate floral pattern becomes apparent on the sides of the katana, shining in the same golden hue as Tougen’s reiatsu.

[Shikai Ability][Koutaku – [I]“Brilliance”]
By paying 500 of his reiatsu, Tougen may create an ‘image’ of himself, imbuing enough reiatsu in it to complete a single melee attack. Each clone is created with a copy of his zanpakuto. This clone contains 25% of his attacking stat, and upon being created automatically enters shunpo to reach its target. The cost of shunpo is not added to the cost of Koutaku, but only the base grade and range of its lowest level available for the ability. Upon completing its attack or upon five seconds having passed, the image disappears. No more than 5 images may exist at any one time.

[Shikai Ability][Senkou – “Flash”]
By paying 5% of his reiatsu, Tougen may switch places with a pre-existing image. This switch takes place at the same speed as his hohou. The distance between the image and him is limited to the range of a base level shunpo, as per Koutaku’s own limitations.
----------------------------------------

[Bankai Form] Upon the release of Koden, Tougen’s form is obscured by a miniature hurricane which blocks him completely from sight. A few moments later the storm fades away to reveal his new form. He now stands wearing a full bōgu. The men (helmet) of the uniform completely obscures his face, though behind it a radiant golden light shines through. The remainder of the outfit is normal, as his entire form is obscured from sight while any loose endings or points at which he could be visible are blocked by a golden light. The outfit itself is a combination of dark red and gold, with the shinai being replaced by the same katana his shikai and sealed form share.

The bankai itself takes the form of six, large, wing-like structures that float freely from him. Each wing is about six feet long by itself, being translucent and made up of his reiatsu.

[Bankai Ability][Kagayaki – “Radiance”]
Each of these wings can move up to 50 feet away from him. A single ‘image’ of Tougen may be spawned from each of these wings for the cost of 2% of Tougen’s reiatsu, each armed with all the same equipment he has. These images last five rounds, or until destroyed. They acquire 10% of one of his combat stats, gaining all of Tougen’s hohou stat with which to travel as they wish. A single attack can disperse these images, no matter the severity of it. They can make up to 3 attacks before dispersing, making them far more effective in combat than their shikai counterparts.

[Bankai Attack 1]“Overflow”]
By paying 500 reiatsu per clone, Tougen can temporarily double the amount of images created by Kagayaki for 2 rounds, after which they revert back to the original number before the attack. Should any images be destroyed during this time, the doubled up copy will replace it, taking its place with the same amount of time left to exist as its original. These tertiary clones are capable of all the same things as the ordinary images.

[Bankai Attack 2][Assaku – “Compression”]
By paying 500 reiatsu per clone, Tougen can force the images to overlap onto his body, creating a wave effect with all melee attacks. Any initial attack holds the target in place while the rest of the overlapping clones mimic the exact same attack, making the wound deeper and deeper until the final image strikes, sending the target flying with the force of the initial blow multiplied by however many images have been compressed over Tougen’s own form.

[Bankai Attack 3][Kyuushutsu – “Deliverance”]
By paying 5% of his reiatsu, Tougen may switch places with a pre-existing image. This switch takes place at the same speed as his hohou. The distance at which he may switch with this image is limited to the same range that the wing-like constructions of Koden are limited to moving away from him, 50 feet.

Persona: Considered by many in the third division to be easy-going and fun to be around, the easiest way to describe him is kind. He cares little for pride, instead focusing on the safety of his comrades. He takes this to an almost unhealthy aspect, often risking injury to ensure their safety.

Despite his comparatively young age as a shinigami, Tougen has already experienced plenty of hardships, and it has left him somewhat solemn on the topic of both families and memories. As such he tends to live in the past, unable to let go of his own mistakes and shortcomings. This has left him with little confidence in his leadership skills to the point where he will actively seek ways to avoid being in a position of responsibility, though he has recently begun to accept his duties as both a shinigami and, more recently, a seated officer.

Theme Song: Meant to Live ~ Switchfoot

Physical Stature:
Standing at 5'11", Tougen's hair is a light metallic blue and neck length, always being kept straight by him. His eyes are turquoise, and usually hold a calm look even when talking to someone who seems to have a problem with him. His facial expression is usually a small smile, but often switches to a much larger one. His posture is rather normal when standing, and he slumps slightly when sitting. His voice is a baritone that slightly dips into a tenor when shouting.

Tougen wears a shihakushou with a sleeveless kosode, and he ties it together with an aqua blue sash that he stores his zanpakuto sheath in. Once wearing cowls in public, he has since discarded them in favour of wearing a black cloak that reaches his feet, making constant adjustments as he sees fit, having started wearing it since taking up the advice (or in Feng's case, threat) to wear something that wouldn't make him seem like a noble. He is never seen without his katana at his side. His most noticeable feature is that he has the kanji 記憶 (Memory) tattooed on his left cheek.

He wears size ten brown leather boots that were handed down from his father though he wears plain zori sandals on occasion, usually off-duty.

Biography: A few minutes after dying a shinigami came and offered to send him to Rukongai, but Tougen refused to go before seeing his funeral. After seeing his funeral and how depressed his family and friends were, he made a vow to never let anyone suffer because of his weakness again. After arriving in Rukongai the first thing he did was get the tattoo that would make him as recognizable as he is, as well as make sure he would not forget his vow. After two years in Rukongai, Tougen met his father.

His father, whose name was Keiji, finished their training after twelve years, and eventually Tougen was recruited into the academy. After graduating with his normal class, he joined the third division, all the while keeping in touch with his father. Also, though it is unknown when, he apparently fell in love with a fellow student in the academy named Kaminora Ayako. The two were engaged and set to be married when a tragic accident resulted in Ayako's death.

Since then, he has flourished in the third division, taking on various missions and assignments with other members such as Takehiro Shunsen and training with members such as Amanda Taylor. Eventually he was assigned to a search and apprehend mission that pitted him against a madman with a vendetta against Tougen, Kaminora Shinji. He escaped with his life, though his father who had been taken prisoner was injured gravely in the process and barely survived the ordeal.

Afterwards, war was declared against Hueco Mundo and he found himself in the position of both 19th seat and communications officer. His preparations were quick, and in the process disbanded the band that had included him and three pluses, all of which he considered friends, in favour of taking his duties as a shinigami more seriously.

[Blessing of Asclepius]

[Manifestation] The Blessing of Asclepius manifests itself as a sky-blue, translucent aura that hovers around Riki like a bonfire. The entire aura gives off a feeling of relaxation and calmness.

[Ability][Genesis]
By paying 2% of his reiatsu, Riki can heal a single layer of human tissue (i.e: skin, muscle, bone) for a single limb. The time it takes to heal each layer becomes progressively longer the deeper the tissue, with bone taking the longest. Given enough time and reiatsu, it is indeed possible to recreate entire limbs, though it cannot heal any damage beyond physical trauma.

[Ability][Purification]
By paying 500 of his reiatsu Riki can create a single lance of energy. This lance can reach up to 20 feet away from him, with this range increasing by 10 for every 1000 harmony he has and capping at 100 feet. Up to 5 lances can be made at one time, with their speed determined by his agility stat.

[Ability][Purge]
By paying 4% of his reiatsu, Riki can alter the Blessing of Asclepius to eat away at a certain substance. The substance is determined by him beforehand, allowing him to filter out poisons from a person’s bloodstream or remove infection from a wound without harming the patient. This can also be used in an offensive manner by causing the aura to eat away at something such as flesh or skin. This corroding reiatsu must be applied directly to the area affected, with it eating away at the substance specified for up to a foot in diameter from the point applied.

Persona: Riki, despite his unnatural talent in healing and medical practices, is unusually naïve. He believes in justice, but is rather short-sighted when trying to see it done with him often jumping to the wrong conclusions. He thinks nothing of other Advent Humans, thinking of them as good to the Hollows evil and so has little to no problem with showing off his power in front of others. Despite this he is quite honest about his own opinions and is quite an eager learner when it comes to anything, always wanting to learn something new. His mood is rather prone to flying off the handle at a whim, with him often getting angry for little reason and happy for just as little as well. His one true passion seems to be in healing others, and he personally follows the code of, “It takes little skill to take a life, but much skill to save one.”

Theme Song: Let it Die ~ Three Days Grace

Physical Appearance: Standing at 5’10”, Riki has a slender build born of a life of comfort. He has little muscle mass, but is quite healthy in terms of fitness making him a fairly thin person. He has sky blue eyes that often show a blinding kindness and naivety in them, matched by his equally cheery sky blue hair. His hair is rather long, reaching past his ears and down to his neck, often obscuring his eyes from view. He almost always wears a long white doctor’s coat, though what else he wears changes frequently. He does seem to favour an olive green shirt with a pair of jeans.

Biography: His childhood remains a mystery as he doesn’t talk about it often enough, but it is known that from an early age on he quickly took after his father, a doctor, by practicing medicine. He learned all he could from his father and soon enough found that he had a particular talent for healing others. His first experience with the deceased began shortly after he graduated from Tokyo Nishi Koutougakkou, though Riki states that he was capable of hearing the departed long before he could see them. He has since then taken up an internship at a local hospital, gaining enough experience to go to a medical school in which he can perfect his healing capabilities.

This plan of his was brought down when he met Arano, however. After several exchanges of information, and the discovering of a spy attempting to gain information on Riki for Cerberus, he accepted Arano's offer to join the same corporation with him in order to find out their intentions.

Persona: Hot-blooded and always with a raw temper, Mouko is often the first to get into a conflict. She hates to take orders from anyone, though if the person giving them is obviously stronger than her she'll still do them grudgingly. Not a particularly patient person, Mouko will often seek out what she wants instead of waiting for an opportunity to rise. However, behind this tough exterior does lie a teenage girl, and as such she is often prone to bursts of behaviour not usually displayed by her.

Physical Appearance: 5’8” with charcoal eyes, Mouko hates for her appearance to be criticized. Her equally dark hair reaches to her back, always left free-flowing. Her attire varies daily with her moods.

Biography: Her past is unknown. What is known is that she currently lives with an older sibling at her house. How they were orphaned is a mystery.

Persona: Aki, when off-duty, is actually a rather amiable girl. Social, hardworking and for all intents and purposes normal, she gives off the impression of being an ordinary teenage girl. However, this fades away when under one of two circumstances: when on-duty or whenever Arano is mentioned. In the former circumstance, all emotion fades away into her programming to leave a cold mask of indifference. In the latter circumstance, Aki usually responds with either rage or dispassionate dismissal.

Physical Appearance: Her altered body has left her at a height of 5’7” with a lithe frame. Her jet black hair reaches down to her chest, often being tied back in some manner. Her hazel brown eyes often have a calculated look on them, regardless of whether or not she’s actually on the job. Her standard attire while on the job is a black and gold cheongsam.

Biography: Her early childhood with Arano is not known, though it is fact that because of her mother’s influence often treated him with similar yet lessened scorn. It was revealed she was Project HARMONY during Arano’s time in Fukushima.

Chimera
http://images.elfwood.com/art/p/o/ponzetti/chimera3sm.jpg
.: Development is Necessity, Limitations are Sentimentality :.

The Organization
Chimera is a former sub-section of the Cerberus Corporation designed and founded by Hourou Kurohi, former Director of Research and Development at the Fukushima branch. Chimera was founded with the purpose of improving the efficiency of agents as well as the potency of the chemicals available in the Cerberus apothecary. When funding became scarce and several shady deals brought the organization under observation, it split off and became a self-dependant organization. The details of this secession are still unknown, as are the exact details of their funding.

Chimera's focuses are narrowed upon two subjects:
1) The manufacturing, programming and outfitting of artificial agents for purposes unknown.
2) The implementation of a hive-mind into said artificial agents for unknown purposes.


The Experiments
The main reason for Chimera to be placed under investigation in the first place, the experiments and processes that the shadowy company puts their test subjects under can be considered humane only by the most stretched of standards.


[ PROJECT: CHAOS ]
_____________________________________
Subject#: 050
Subject Name: SABISHII, ARANO
Status: FAILURE PENDING RECOVERY

CHAOS began as a side project of Agent Persephone (Sabishii, Ayame) and Agent Hades(Sabishii, Asane) not 16 years ago. The goal of the experiment was to create the first ‘super soldier’, a manufactured human. The project began a success for the first 10 years. The experimentation was to be triggered at once, the compounds injected in his body designed for increased muscle density, increased calcium deposits, altered powers involving bone manipulation, increased reflexes, alterable appearance to a certain extent and mental conditioning to ensure loyalty.

However, once it began the trigger no longer worked as expected due to the child’s hereditary spiritual awareness. Sadly, the processes had to be done one at a time. Persephone and Hades almost succeeded by the 10th year, but the subject began to show signs of independence. It was with this in mind that Director Kurohi asked the two to accelerate the mental conditioning ASAP. By the 15th year, the process was almost complete, but the subject escaped from holding and left Chimera’s jurisdiction. Current status of the subject is unknown.


[ PROJECT: SOLSTICE ]
_____________________________________
SUBJECT: 10VD
SUBJECT NAME: IGNAZIO MARTELLI
SUPERVISORS: BLUE, ECHIDNA
STATUS: FAILURE PENDING INVESTIGATION

SOLSITCE was requested by Agent Typhon, as the primary test subject to create a completely mechanized human weapon. Subject was drafted at the age of 20 from New York base. Transported directly to Fukushima Branch, subject was immediately injected with a large quantity of rapidly evolving nanobots (BRANCH-R). The subject was next subjected to large quantities of radiation from –CLASSIFIED-. Large quantities of Protein-XKSA were created, eventually fusing directly with the brain.

Midway through treatment, subject’s thantoresonance levels spiked, resulting in a CODE-IIA. The mechanized commands resulted in the subject escaping from restraints and murdering Analysts –CLASSIFIED-. Current location: UNKNOWN.

[ PROJECT: HARMONY ]
____________________________________
Subject #: 051
Subject Name: SABISHII, AKI
Status: SUCCESS

HARMONY is the follow-up project for [ PROJECT: CHAOS ], being made as a countermeasure for it and to succeed where CHAOS failed. The induction of the subject into the program began shortly after CHAOS as a sister project, but once CHAOS began to show signs of independence its programming was altered. The project finished 3 years after the location of CHAOS was lost, and HARMONY has been acting in the Fukushima institute as a personal assassin for Agent Persephone ever since. Since the death of Agent Persephone, however, HARMONY left the destroyed institute and was moved to the Tokyo institute.


[ PROJECT: TITAN ]
____________________________________
Subject #: 142
Subject Name: CLASSIFIED
Status: FAILURE

TITAN was a project created and managed by Agent Persephone for the creation of a heavy soldier on orders from Director Kurohi himself. The project was an initial success, but the subject bonded with another test subject, name –CLASSIFIED-. The subject attached itself emotionally, and so resisted the mental conditioning processes consistently. As the project was considered obsolete with the beginning of [ PROJECT: CHAOS ], the subject was left in HADES4 level of the Fukushima institute. Subject is currently deceased.

[ PROJECT: PHANTOM ]
____________________________________
Subject #: 227
Subject Name: RAINE, STANLEY
Status: FAILURE

PHANTOM started initially to improve a modified Seeker formula. When the test subject showed permanent effects regarding its Potentiated Release, further research was led into the conditioning and outfitting of the subject into the role of an assassin. Further exposure to the new formula, codename –CLASSIFIED- was given to the subject, resulting in the ability to phase through solid matter. The drug is now being mass-produced in hopes of creating similar abilities in other agents. All further attempts to recreate PHANTOM have failed since then, but the subject itself had improved greatly. Its abilities mingled with its own thanatoresonance, creating a more powerful version of the original compound. However, when the subject began to use its powers to ward off the mental conditioning processes, Agent Echidna was ordered to end the project. Subject’s current location and status is unknown.


[ PROJECT: NEMESIS ]
____________________________________
Subject #: -CLASSIFIED-
Subject Name: NATSUMI [Surname Unknown]
Status: UNKNOWN

A personal project of Hourou Kurohi, NEMESIS was made for the creation of the perfect reconnaissance tool. Injection of several variants of Seeker has resulted in the subject gaining abilities similar to a telepath as well as limited telekinesis. Its main Potentiated Release has adjusted, allowing it to harness psionic energy for various uses. Further information was denied to the database. Subject’s current location and status is unknown.
