Name: Doctor Rominov

Age: 64

Position: Head Scientist of R&D and Paranormal Studies & Translation

Bio: Doctor Rominov or as he was better know as Marlaton Rominov in his younger years was an avid believer in the paranormal. He would spend hours every day studying the works of profound paranormal investigators. He himself found that it was much more interesting to study a field of science of which there was so much to still learn. His parents, both accomplished in the fields of Quantum Physics and Medicine remonstrated their son many times to forget about these childish obsessions with the paranormal to study more humane science, but Rominov was steadfast in his resolution to follow his dream. Bio: He studied at the Top University for Paranormal Studies and eventually received a PhD on the subject when he wrote a ground-breaking thesis on the possibility of beings from a separate dimension. Rominov tells stories of times when he was a assistant for one of the leading scientist in the field of Quantum Mechanics by the name of Doctor Kingkead and where he witnessed the birth of inter-dimension travel. When the Third World War broke out, Rominov was far away from the action, but he was originally hired by the U.S military to develop weaponry t harness any form of supernatural energy. Rominov worked tirelessly until he came up with a prototype called " KFB " or Kinetic Force Beam which harness physic energy into a blast which is capable of penetrating diamond. After this discovery Rominov was quickly recruited to help with the investigation of the inter-dimension beings. He currently works as Head of the Research Lab.


Description: Doctor Rominov is an average sized man at 5"9 with noticeable white mustache and grey hair. He walks with a slight limp and can be seen talking to himself in quiet whispers. He often mutters about the supernatural. He wears a white lab coat and is never seen without his trademark pair of spectacles. The Doctor

Other: The Doctor is especially interested in any information dealing with the Wise One, it can be said he has an absolute obsessions with all things related to the power of the Ancients.

( Well that was " The Doctor " I still have to hammer out 5 more bios before I'm done. )

Matthew (phoebus) | 30 comments Well, the scientists come here in for their passion of science. They'll be looking at things about the new dimension such as the structure of it's atmosphere and the geology of the place, such as the rocks and minerals that are found within the earth. They would be interested in a whole area of scientific things, which is a large area indeed. There are millions of questions a scientist might ask about a different dimension, whether it is like their own or not?

While the perspective of my character would be about the culture of this new civilization, the architecture they use, how their goverment worked, their languages, their history and legends, he would be more focused on different features of their society.

Generally speaking.

Matthew (phoebus) | 30 comments Not really. >.>

I also imagine there will be some rich benifactor who is giving a lot of money into the whole project and they of course would be here for two things, money and power.

Huh? ._.


message 5: by Matthew (new)

Matthew (phoebus) | 30 comments Of course that would mean that this person would also have something to do with the U.S goverment as well, a connection. Or merely possibly because they are a rich billionaire in this time of strife and fighting for resources. So, it would be easy to imagine this rich billionaire being involved.


message 6: by [deleted user] (new)

... right, well, I'm thinking a villainous role. I'm still a little foggy about how the whole plot works, what is the castles and corruption thing again? Is there any specific history to their conflict?


message 7: by Matthew (new)

Matthew (phoebus) | 30 comments Well, the rich dude would obviously present a possible conflict in the future, especially since he is the one paying the mercenaries.

They are here for the love of science and discovery, he is here for the love of money and power.

I thought it would have to do with the three seals. There are many good possible conflicts and twists leading up to those.

Then of course there are the two books.

...and I forgot what the last thing was. ._.

Her father quit his life as a Mercenary and made her and her siblings stop their training. Loving the fighting and the danger, Xia Mo continued to train to be a Mercenary behind her fathers back. She met with one of her old mentors that her father had hired when she was younger, and that mentor helped train her.

Name: Elektra Helicia Graydon

Gender: Female

Age: 31

Position: Military intelligence – field operative

Bio: Elektra was born into an odd family, on a cold wintery night twenty-five years ago. Her mother, always the eccentric one, named her Elektra in sequence after her older siblings August (brother), Bethaene (sister), Chandra (sister), and Draco (brother). Her mother was an artist, and her father was a doctor, and both struggled to understand the teenage Elektra. At the time, she was experimenting with 'love' and psychology. Everywhere she went, she left a string of broken hearts and minds in her wake. It was as her parents said upon multiple occasions, she was just too smart for her own good. In a way, it was a relief for them when she ran off when she was eighteen, shortly after graduating from high school, leaving them no note or any explanation of where she was going. At least she was out of their hair. When she left home, Elektra joined the military with a particular focus on intelligence. They sent her off to college where she studied math and psychology. She returned five years later and became an analyst until she completed her training for field work, at the age of twenty-six.

Description:
Elektra is taller than the average girl, slim, but with the solid build of a warrior. Dark red hair with orange highlights falls lightly upon a tanned face dusted with freckles. Beneath her yellow-green eyes on her right cheek is a small, vertical silver scar. She has never explained where she got it from. She wears two small earrings in her right ear and one in her left. She has a smooth, clear voice and speaks in a very controlled manner. There is a small tattoo on the right side of her neck, a pattern of three lines horizontally intersecting a vertical one.

Personality: Though not necessarily an introverted person, Elektra keeps mostly to herself. When she interacts with others it is in a very impersonal way, and she never reveals personal details about herself. She is a great liar, and has a remarkable knack for keeping track of all the little details of her of 'stories'. She thrives under pressure, in high-stress situations where her ability to remain cool and collected is pushed to the extreme. Elektra loves mind games. But even more than she loves messing with people's minds to get what she wants, is finding the rare person who can play these games with her, at the same level.

Other: n/a

Heeeeey another character bio that I had to do!


Name: The General

Gender: Male

Age: 58

Position: Head of the U.S Military, Leader of the Assault Team Specialist Force, ( ATSF )

Bio: “The General” born Jonathan Wrathbone was a boy with a trouble childhood. During his adolescence he experienced intense paranoia due to his isolation throughout most of his childhood. He was home schooled and came from a military family who trained him to be a tactical warrior on the battlefield. For classified purposes he was given the code name " The General " after many continued years of consistent military service. He began his career in military at the age of 18 as he fought in the Gulf Wars of the late 1900's. During his time in military he developed post traumatic stress disorder after the brutal massacre of his entire platoon. The General went dark after a farewell transmission he gave to his extended family. He was found three weeks later in a cave with the bloody remains of the enemy soldiers. He received a purple heart for sustaining multiple stab and gunshot wounds, and was awarded a silver star for continued military service after his gulf war years. After his first war he went back into training and gradually rose through the military ranks. He received the rank of Brigadier General by the time of the Third World War. He was pulled out from his front line leadership position and relaxed to a more behind the scenes view of the operation where he learned of the researching of the ancient cultures of the parallel universes. He began to assemble a strike force team of the most highly trained operative to help investigate this new area.

Description: The General The General has a robust manner to himself, he acts dignified and shows his age more often then he likes, but still shows the leadership of his youth when he leads the squad through remote video feed. He appears to be in top physical shape despite his age and talks with a treble in his voice. He stands tall at 6'3 and doesn’t back down when talks. Often talks in rather powerful commanding voice and will only refer to his favorite operatives by their names.

Personality: The General is fan of loyalty raised on the military principles that desertions is grounds for treason and believes that anyone who would betray their unit should be put to death. The General often seems to muse on issues that would often seem beyond him, but yet he shows a strange interest in the Castles and the power they hold. The General wishes to see the U.S restored to it’s former glory and is willing to see that anything at all cost be done to achieve his goals. He retains the same mind set that he had as a kid from his Gulf War days: Do whatever it takes to survive in the world and worry about the rest later.

Other: The General can often be seen in the gym training even though he appears rather old he is actually quite fit and stays in shape.

Oh look another bio this time fo my pyro

Name: Matt “ Boomer” Stone

Gender: Male

Age: 24

Position: Demolitions Expert, Assault Force Team B Leader

Bio: Matt A.K.A Boomer was child of fire. He was born into a world of flames the minute he picked up a lighter. Called by some a pyromaniac with insatiable appetite for explosions he would tinker everyday with normal objects until he could set them on fire in some way. It was said Boomer once set his eyes brows on fire until they burned away. Boomer was sighted to have burned down the entire east wing of high school with home-made Napalm that he created at the age of 16. From there Boomer moved to more complex explosives being able to rig up plastic explosives easily before he moved into college where he studied architecture, or really figured out how to destroy architecture. His parents always kept a watchful eye under him and tried to limit his contact with anything flammable or explosive, but he lead to know more than they ever knew. He was taken to therapist after therapist, they expected him to crack, but he never let on to his psychological problems. Eventually both of his parents died in a tragic fire accident to which the blame as been totally acquitted from Boomer public record. Boomer worked around in public demolition for a few years before getting contacted for military demolition. He was properly trained in the military arts where they learned off his tremendous strength before putting him on experiment muscle enhancers that give him the strength of ten men. The only downside is that it drastically shortened his life span, but Boomer seems okay with it. Boomer worked in a few Seal Team 6 Demolition Operations, before being drafted to a special ops team during the start of the Third World War where he performed a huge part in operation Gothic Serpent, and operation that nearly devastated the Eastern Hemisphere. Boomer seemed like the nature choice when selecting crucial members for the strike force.

Description: Boomer has the slender young body of a young man his age and he often appears younger then he looks, he likes looking aloof as he can be serious when the time calls for it. Boomer stands proud at 5‘10 with an air of superiority that surrounds him. Boomer understands the nature of his good looks, but never uses them to his advantage thought. Boomer talks in a deeper voice then most and often can have a crazy far away look in his eyes and smile that sends goosebumb running down the spines of comrades and enemies alike.
Boomer

Personality: Boomer is driven by the sound of the explosions he crafts, he loves to see things go
boom more than anything else, but more importantly Boomer loves to see a good plan come together. He doesn’t really give a damn about the War he really just likes explosions more then anything else and is really only here to see what kind of things he can make go boom in the other world. Boomer is very aloof to the problems of the world, he never had to work hard in his life to achieve anything and that characteristic has pursued throughout his life.

Other: Boomer loves the sounds of explosions more than any other sound. Boomer likes things that go.....BOOM.

Lloyd was raised in the mountain tops of Tibet as an orphaned child who was given away to monks. Lloyd was raised on the principals of Buddhism by the monks who raised him, during the first 14 years of his life he learned the ancient art of meditation before he found solace in the world. He was trained in the arts of jujitsu and judo before he moved onto swordplay. The monks found that Lloyd never spoke to them on any issues, Lloyd took a vow of silence as way of committing to the life style of the monks and he vowed to live to the 8-Fold path that Buddhism promised him. Before mastering the art of the sword at the age of 19 Lloyd would always go down the mountainous village that was just below his dojo. He learned the way of exorcism through a 87 year old Tibetan who taught him in the way of talisman and true mental discipline and restrain as he learned to talk with his actions rather than his words. Still as Lloyd reached his 20's he decided to bring a pen and paper should people not understood what he meant. By his 21 birthday Lloyd had decided to depart from his mountainous setting as he thanked the monks for everything they taught him. He went over to the U.S where he experienced the untold horrors of war and pestilence. Lloyd began a for-hire service that promised a persecutor of “ evils “. Lloyd vowed against killing the innocent as his blade only meets the flesh of the corrupt. His talents soon became scouted by the U.S Spec Ops Forces and was given the title of Spec Ops CQC Leader. Soon Lloyd was taken and drafted into a Strike Force that contained him, Boomer, Beacher, and Etrius. During this time Lloyd did not sustain a single injury. After a year of soul searching and meditation, Lloyd was contacted to be a field operative for the Castle project because of his background in CQC combat and exorcism,

Matthew (phoebus) | 30 comments Name: Professor Oswin

Gender: Male

Age: 32

Position: The specialist in Sociology and the study of Ancient Cultures.

Bio:
Alexander Oswin, more officially known as Professor Oswin, was chosen for this project because he is an leading expert in the area dead languages(along with his other qualifications). Prior to the discovery of this new dimension Oswin was merely a professor at the University of London. But let's get back to that later.

Oswin's parents were both well educated people, his mother a psychologist and his father an aspiring author as well as a literary professor. They both encouraged Oswin to have a curious mind and were a good influence to him. His greatest influence, however, was his uncle. You see, Oswin's uncle was an archeologist who traveled the world, and Oswin couldn't wait for his next visit. Oswin's uncle would tell him stories, and feed his young imagination with things of wonder.

Oswin was home schooled since he was little, being that his mother didn't exactly trust public education, nor did she want to send her child off to a private school. Anyways, from a young age it was apparent the Oswin was exceptionally bright and very adept at learning and remembering things, along with a knack for languages.

When Oswin was only thirteen he was sent away to live with his uncle. Though "sent away" isn't exactly the right way to describe it. Oswin traveled the world with his uncle for a the rest of his youth, I believe the term would be referred to as "studying abroad". I mean, there was a reason behind this, why else do you think his parents would send him to live with his uncle? Oswin was just merely living with his uncle, he was also advancing his education in the area of his choice. Unlike most people, Oswin did not live at his college, though he did indeed visit many universities where he attended lectures and was able to have educational discussion with many experts.

It was only when Oswin was twenty-two that he had written his thesis and received his first PHd. Oswin late had furthered his studies even more and received many more degrees. Professor Oswin has a good range on things that fall under his range of knowledge such as; sociology, psychology, linguistics, architecture, world history and mythology. In the time since then Oswin has written numerous books, mostly in the study of ancient cultures and mythology.

One day Oswin after work two men come to his office, talking about the ruins of an unknown ancient culture that predates any discovered so far. This was the chance of a lifetime and Oswin took it. They didn't tell him everything though, it was only after they were had left and was on the plane to the United States that they told him the rest.

Being the Oswin was no scientist, he was not part of the original team of researches whom built the device to travel through dimensions and began the expedition. Actually, Oswin is the newest members of the team.

Description:
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 160 lbs
Accent: Smooth British accent.
Physique: Well kept athletic tone.

Personality:
Oswin has lived quite an interesting life, and anyone whom has lived such a live always end up with an intriguing personality. There is a bit more to this man then what meets the eye. To others he might appear to be young, you might have doubts at his capabilities. Perhaps you think him ignorant of life, hardships that perhaps you had to face or the trails you had to go through. You don't like that smile on his face, you think it ignorant. To you, perhaps he is merely just another one of the scientist, all they care about is their little projects, and you have how unfeeling they can be. Professor Oswin is new to the team, he was called in after everyone else. Whom is this man and can you trust him? So, it might be reasonable to hold doubts about this man.

It might be true, that upon the surface Oswin does carry the appearance of one who is innocent of such trails and hardships, of one who probably spend most of their life in luxury. Oswin smiles, a friendly almost carefree smile that he could give to anyone, anytime, anyplace. There is a story behind that smile, a secret behind it's curl. Then when Oswin talks, he is far to carefree sounding, as if he has no worries in this world. Upon the surface appears a man, one that smiles as if the world holds no hardships.

That is only how he appears upon the surface, it goes no deeper then that. Why you might ask? That's simple, why would a man choose to live their daily lives with an appearance of one whom has face many trials and sorrows, like a plague that spreads like wildfire a mood can spread. Oswin would prefer to spread a feeling of carefree friendliness around, a sort of atmosphere.

Beneath that, Oswin is far more then what he appears. Oswin may not have faced the same trials that you have face, but that shouldn't make you underestimate what he did go through. His parents were very firm and strict on him from a young age, they saw his potential and they would not allow him to waste it. Instead they made life difficult for him, he did not have the carefree opportunities of most kids his age but spent his time learning. This obviously would have an effect on a young boy.

Growing up with his uncle was a bit different from what lives others might have lived through. They traveled the world, but let me tell you it was not in paradise. Oswin's uncle was a good man, this was true, but Oswin was still young when he left with him. There are still many problems when you travel the world, especially when the places you went weren't always the best. They went to places where they would have to watch out for dangerous animals, natives, bandits, and a bit more. So, it was a bit adventurous and was not something that a mere sheepish-geeky-weak-guy could go through. Oswin may appear to be just another smarty pants, but he is much tougher then what he appears to be.

You might see how there might be a bit more to this man now. Though it is true that he is indeed a compassionate man, there is much more. Oswin has lived a life where he learned a collection of skills, some might even be a bit on the dark side. You might say that their is another side to Oswin, one that he keeps firmly to himself, locked away till it's needed. Oswin prefers to play the part of the charismatic man who brightens peoples day with his friendly gestures.

Oh, and I might have forgotten one detail. As I might have suggested from his history and all, Oswin is an extremely intelligent man, how else would he get to where he is today? Oswin may be young, but he hold a truly clever intellect and a passion for learning and understanding.

βεℓℓα のαωη  | 65 comments Name: SQ-E49 (Soldier Queen - Experiment 49) By the team she is known as Melica.
Age: The girl=4 1/4. The system programmed in=21
Gender: Female
Position: Software Technician and Engineer.

Bio:
Where She Comes From:
SQ-E49 was brought about by an underground mafia. They know each other by the name of Soul. This mafia is puzzled together by men and women of various, if not all, countries.
"Stronger than brothers. Stronger than blood. We are one Soul." The woman who said this, the Founder (unknown name) of Soul, established it in 2014. In the beginning Soul consisted of 7 members, and now they stand at 107, many centuries later. Each member is examined and then approached, upon refusals they die in an accident a month or so after. 107 members is not a lot (and it is not required for a person to be a member to be used by Soul), and 107 does not strike terror or give much threat (on a mafia scale). Actually this mafia has never been heard of. They have never made themselves gaudy in the streets like most others. Soul was formed with one purpose, and until that purpose can be seized, Soul is patient.

Patience does not mean inactive. Members give up their children for experiments to create "Perfect Souls". SQ-E49 is a result of those experiments, not to mention a success. (There were different categories in the experiments. Soldier Queen was one of them. Like, Test tube A, compared to Test tube B, C, D, and the control. SQ dealt with "technologically advanced humans"). When a "Perfect Soul" becomes a success, they are sent out by Soul to go undercover for their work. Their work is merely gathering information and securing positions at this point.

Hint: Soul is formed on a religious foundation. Their purpose deals with the decline in resources, which the Founder predicted and warned of, along with the end of the world.

Reason/How She Got Into This Group:
Her father, Jacob Ralphs, is from Idaho, US. Her mother, Nivina Cardal, is from Ontario, Canada. Her mother is one of the 107 members of Soul. Jacob Ralphs met Nivina at a dance on the American/Canadian boarder, introduced to each other by friends at the ages of 21 and 24. They dated for less than two months then got married, and made a home in Ontario. Jacob Ralphs came from a strong, well-bred family of hard working parents and 6 siblings. His biggest dream at one point was to be the cowboy who kept riding along the horizon, traveling the world.

Nivina Cardal had no father growing up, and her mother had gone to jail too many times. Nivina eventually was approached by a man, one of the highest members of Soul, when she was 11. He took her in and raised her to be a member of Soul. Authorities put her down as kidnapped, and years later, presumed dead.

Nivina gave her heart and soul.... no.... She had truly become Soul. So when Soul required her two and a half year old child, she eagerly handed it over. When Jacob, her husband, SQ-E49's father demanded to know why his daughter was missing, Soul became annoyed. Two weeks later he got jumped by a local gang of kids and was shot and killed supposedly because he had been in the way of a grocery store robbery.

SQ-E49 has known only Soul ever since. They erased her memory through electrical charges, and when she almost died, had to replace half her brain. Then more, because it was convenient.

AND SO. What makes this 4 year old cyborg eligible, and more capable than other professionals, to join in the Castle's Investigation? In her "official work papers", it lists these abilities and feats:
- Since the majority of her brain is computerized, she has downloaded different software systems, codes, and is able to write her own software on the spot. Her human side gives her the ability to understand what she is doing, can work better with orders, and can be flexible and adaptable when problems arise.
- She is not a liability to the team. Any injury dealt to her can be fixed up within moments. If she dies, or in any way has become incapable of completing her tasks, she can be dropped off anywhere or discarded at any time.
- Due to her young age and her programming, she will not question or try to understand orders. Tasks given to her will be completed with satisfaction, unless she is malfunctioning.

In addition, her papers were placed on top of the pile of suitable people for the team and mysterious flaws (that checked out) had "mysteriously" appeared on some profiles, while others were "suddenly" incapable due to catching of a disease or death, amongst other things.

The government believes she came from a volunteer facility called For The Heroes. It's a place that helps wounded soldiers recover serious injuries by replacing limbs/etc with mechanical parts. Rich families sometimes come to this facility to have themselves or their children enhanced secretly. SQ-E49's pretend background is as follows:

She comes from a family in Chile, her parents were rich. All the children were suddenly dying from a disease spreading from Brazil to the rest of South America. SQ-E49 was sent to For The Heroes, and dropped off with nothing but a box and a blanket keeping her safe. A dufflebag filled with enough money beside her. She had caught the illness, and FTH saved her. Yet she had become weak because of it, so she was enhanced. FTH tried to track down her parents, but SQ-E49 hadn't been born in a hospital, and her DNA could not be matched. So in secret the FTH president raised and taught SQ-E49, calling her Melica. He was one of the members of Soul. Through Soul, her existence was whispered to the people in charge of investigating this big new discovery of another dimension.
((FYI: She never went to For The Heroes. It was all made up, except for the president of FTH being a Soul member.))


Appearance:
-
- Her eyes: Exactly as shown. One eye completely removed and replaced with a replica with built in software that connects to her brain which signals back to Soul, and one that she got to keep for herself.
Description:
- 3'8 inches tall (Unusual height for her age, caused by enhancements)
- She likes to hold her hands together, or hold onto something solid nearby.
- When she speaks she opens her mouth wide in a childish way to pronunciate her words, otherwise her lips are pursed together thoughtfully.
- Her duo-colored eyes are always watching openly, gazing with no hint of shy or timid interest. Her expressions are that of a normal 4-5 year old. Curious, optimistic, absorbent and easy.
- Despite everything directing one's thoughts to "Why is there a little girl here?", people have been baffled to hear what SQ-E49 actually has to say (ignoring how she says it) when she makes a sound. Although she has the body and heart of a little girl, her mind is on an entirely seperate level than most adults.
- What you can't see about SQ-E49 is her "technological" side. What makes her a cyborg? Well, there's the eye for one detail that cannot be missed. 4/5 of her brain is made of metal and gears literally. 9/10 of the most important bones in her body have wires running through them, directly along the bones' marrow. The only flaw; she won't stay the same size forever. Every living thing grows. The technology won't grow to adapt. When the pain becomes unbearable, or the technology starts to malfunction, SQ-E-49 will be shut down.

Personality: Sweet, innocent, what more can be said? She is an average, untainted, perfect little cyborg angel. When she sees someone standing a certain way, their eyes looking off into the distance, she goes over and hugs them. When someone is angry and hurt and yelling, she goes over and hugs them. She feels that everyone just wants to be loved. Maybe it's her own soul that's calling out to people, either way she finds comfort in comforting others. She knows no more than is necessary, and even though she wishes and hopes, she does not understand, and has been taught to obey.

Other:
- Adults scare her. The people who were "enhancing" her were nice, but not good. They rarely spoke directly to her, so SQ-E49 is generally uneasy around people. Although despite the uneasiness she feels, she is inclined to do spontaneous things. Like hugging people.
- Soul can see with her right eye; heat scans, normal camera. They hear what she hears too, and can send messages into her head, but that's about it. They can also control her movements, although it hurts SQ-E49 when they do. Just like any radio or TV, if the signal is blocked, it is blocked.
- This poor child has never eaten ice cream before.
- She does not remember Soul, or anything past. She has been programmed not to think about it, so she can't intentionally give anything away.


βεℓℓα のαωη  | 65 comments Er... The program (computer) in her head was created 21 years ago, when Soul was founded and "enhancing" started amongst it. It's not very important. I kinda put that up to represent (or mask) the personages behind SQ-E49, the ones watching through her and occasionally controlling her like an electric toy car. I should probably just take it down to minimize confusion. ^-^
(She looks so young because she is that young. It's the cyborg part of her that is required for the team.)

AND GUESS WHAT!!!!! I FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO PRONOUNCE YOUR NAME!!!!!!! I'm so happy. :D But I will continue calling you Inny, for remembering how to spell your name is at least 10 levels higher than learning how to pronounce it.

( Ehhhhh tired. )


βεℓℓα のαωη  | 65 comments HURRAY!!!!!! COMPLETED!!! (.....ALMOST!)
Just lemme know what I need to edit/add!!!



Name: Patricia (Patch) Testle (SB-E11 / Soldier Bullet - Experiment 11)
Age: 30 - on record. (15 - in reality)
Gender: Female
Position: Bodyguard/Field Agent.

Bio:
Where She Comes From
SB-E11 comes from Soul. Soul is an underground, religious based mafia group that is preparing for the end of the world. (If you want to learn more directly about Soul, read the History of SQ-E49's profile). SB-E11's mother and father are both members, but they have never met each other let alone married. SB-E11 is a result of being grown in a science lab in Brazil. She grew up among ten other Soldier Bullets, each a success.

(There are different categories for experiments. -Soldier Queen- experiments require all average human features. They must allure and represent Soul's beauty, innocence, and intelligence.
-Soldier Sight- experiments are merely kidnapped people (usually adults who live alone, but they don't have to be). They are implanted with cameras and hearing devices. SS experiments have no awareness of this.
-Soldier Bullets- evolved after Soldier Weapons was shut down. Too many kids were dying in SW, and the technology didn't work. They tweaked the designs and fixed the flaws, and began SB with their renewed details. SB experiments are the elite squad of offense in Soul. Their ages range from 13 to 27, and all but two are working, scattered in the world. SB-E11 is one of those sent out. SB's do not have to be perfect. They can be rebuilt or fixed up easily with no concern of their appearance. They are expendable.)

How She Got Onto The Squad
Like SQ-E49, SB-E11's "opponents" we're dealt with accordingly so that she could be put into the team. What can she bring to the team?

- She can easily be repaired or replaced if damaged.
- She has records of fighting in wars under acclaimed generals.
- She has 'underhand' records of 'underhand' missions by security groups based in Africa. (There was a woman who Soul Soldier Sighted who served missions in Africa. They ended up getting rid of her and switching her with SB-E11. The woman had been going to sign up as a candidate for a squad to the Castles. Her name was Patricia Testle).

Appearance:
and
Description:
- What's that on her face? Face paint? Nah, that's just colored metal pieces covering the implanted wires crossing through her skin. She has lost her right leg at the knee during experiments. It wasn't strong enough to keep up with the rest of her. Her joints are enhanced by cyborg parts, making her stronger and able to withstand outside force.
- Her eyesight failed at the age of 5, so her eyeballs were completely removed and replaced with mechanical devices. They connect to her brain, and so both she and Soul can see through her eyes. Yet it isn't like normal sight, she sees everything with a narrowed perspective and she can zoom in and out like a camera.
- She stands at 5'3. A small, lithe cat.
- Her mask "cannot come off", so the only way for her to check out as Patricia Testle is to switch her finger prints with Patricia's. Literally. (Her mask can come off, but only she knows how to do it).

Personality: She has a small lack in social skills, but it isn't too great. She has interacted with the other SB's (and has a crush on SB-E4 and SB-E9). She doesn't do well with people she doesn't know in idle conversations. She can really only control herself in intense situations. She follows orders precisely, sometimes doing more than she was asked. It doesn't matter if she has enemies or allies in people. They both challenge and benefit.
Other:
- She has crushes on most every guy she sees, and follows her instincts on it.
- She has slight empathy, but it's more that she can see the emotions in other people, but cannot not fully relate or know.
- She's afraid of animals. They're out to get her.
- Soul can see with her eyes, but she fully reports back through SQ-E49, and can only do this when their paths intentionally cross so no one knows their connection to each other.

Name: Etrius

Gender: Male

Age: 31

Position: Assault Force A Team Leader, Leader of Strike Force Team (A.K.A Etrius, Beacher, Lloyd, and Boomer )

Bio: Akin to how a mythological phoenix is reborn from it’s ashes Etrius is said to have been reborn from the body of merciless mass murder. His parents died in a brutal public shooting during the early 2000’s. Etrius was spared because of his age and was soon transferred to a foster home where he withered until the age of 7 where military operatives were sent into a foster home to apprehend a murderer where they saw a young Etrius covered in blood surrounded by the bloodied remains of the orphans. The military intel told the General that a young Etrius had singe handedly slaughtered every single person in the orphanage with just what wreckage was lying around. The military issued an entire media blackout for this young boy as he was taken into the care of the military. Etrius was considered a research experiment by the Instructors who trained him. He was trained in the advanced use of deadly weaponry such as firearms and close quarter combat. He was considered cold blooded and emotionless by his instructor with not a feeling of human remorse in his body. Gradually he just became more emotionless and the rage drained out of him from what happened, but he was still considered merciless by the end of his training. He was sent to the front lines of the war where he racked up 237 confirmed K.I.A’S without serious injury before he returned for special ops. There he met the only three guys he could ever call his “ friends, “ Boomer, Lloyd, and Beacher. They worked in numerous black ops and over the course develop a sense of comradeship that few people can match. After the black ops were completed Etrius decided to quit the military business and retire early. Within 6 months his retirement was cut short by the discovery of the castles where he was brought in to be the main field agent fort he job.

Description: Etrius Etrius has deep green eyes and a gauge in his left ear. He has burnt black hair and has a broken hourglass with two wings tattoo on his chest. He has a somewhat deep voice and has a tendency to stare nowhere near the person he is talking to. He stand's at 6"1 and wears very casual clothing in any occasion.



Personality: Etrius is driven by the sheer force of will that one day he will be able to just relax and never have to work a day in his life. That’s what he says, but little is known about Etrius and his motives other then his teammates who refuse to divulge information about Etrius and his outside life. Etrius doesn’t talk about his feelings much at all and instead opts to be cold to people and often cryptic about what he actually means.

Other: Etrius’s codename is “ Prophet “

( Hey it's Etrius and I'm cutting it close cause I slack off a lot! )
