Loners have two places where they may live, either the dorms of NTU or in Taipei Main Station) Power: (see the powers list) Preferred Rank: At Checkmate, we do not see ranks as a OOC way of congratulating someone for their activity. We see a rank as a valuable tool for plot. Please examine your character and see which rank would suit him/her the best. Also, please do not ask for a high rank just because you want to be in a high rank. Low ranks are fun to play too! Also, if there is a NPC in your preferred rank, after your acceptance you may plot with others as to how you take the NPC from that position (high ranks included, if your character is fit for it). (see the ranks list) Job: (see the job examples list) Weapon: (see the weapons list) Appearance/Personality: (this doesn't have to be very long, just to make sure that all of our characters aren't blonde hair blue eyed perfect gentle and wise good girls. physical/mental imperfections, strengths/flaws. this can be in point form if you wish.) History: (a good paragraph or two, please. Remember that your character is completely new to the Family. He/She can be "found" by a member of the Family but has been living in the underground city for a while, or they can be completely new to the city and to the idea of the Family in general. The only exception to this is that if you want to play a character who is born into the Family, 12 yrs or younger / or someone who is in a bloodline)

[thea]

OOC
Name: Maddie
Email: rainbow_ribbons[at]hotmail[dot]com
MSN: same as above

IC
Name: Thea (pronounced "Teia") Sugimori
Gender: F
Age: 19
Family: Flashback
Residence: Taipei City Hall, Rm. 302
Power: Cat
Preferred Rank: Pawn/Page
Job: Eavesdropper (Spy division)
Weapon: dagger

Appearance: Long hair, originally dark in colour but dyed copper brown/pseudo-blonde. Brown eyes with large, sensitive pupils. Likes to wear pretty clothes and dress up. [MODEL: Tomoko Kawase]

Personality: Self-serving. She will do what's right for her new family, but this is also because it helps her too. The kind of person who asks, "What's in it for me?" Not above cheating and backstabbing, though she hates when it's done to her. She likes to make threats but rarely acts on them. Her bark is worse than her bite. She is rarely in a good mood, or at least one that is both good and calm.

History: As her surname suggests, Thea is of Japanese descent. Her father had been taken by the police shortly after Thea's birth, so her mother escaped to China with Thea and her mother-in-law. Thea lived the first fifteen years of her life in an underground city near Beijing with her mother and paternal grandmother. Just before Thea's sixteenth birthday, her mother passed away in an accident, so she was stuck with her obaa-san. Her grandmother had not been kind to Thea's mother, and so Thea naturally resented her. She felt stuck in the underground Osaka, though she knew the reasons for living there. But she wanted to explore.

She suffered through two years with her grandmother, who thought Thea was simply being a difficult adolescent. Finally, at age 18, Thea snuck away. She found her way to the underground city in Taipei, armed with a dagger and her natural light feet. Once there, she was found by a member of the Flashback family, who tempted her with promises of the riches and glory of old. She agreed to join them, and has been in their ranks for a little over six months.

[Anikyan]

Out of Character Name: Ivv/Damaged Email: damaged16@hotmail.com Contacts: MSN In Character Name: Anikyan Morpheus Siamko Middle Name Explanation: "Morpheus" was not the name given to him at birth, but rather one James (see History) gave him shortly after he took Anikyan in. Morpheus is the mythological God of Dreams. His migraines and the failure of his thought chip played a role in this nickname. Gender: Male Age: Twenty-four Family: Loner Residence: n/a Power: Cat Preferred Rank: n/a Job: The best one to describe him would be a Spy, but the truth is that he works for himself and is basically an assassin to anyone who can sway him. Yes, sway him. Anikyan must believe that he is helping the progression of people and life before he does any work for anyone. Weapon: Scimitar Appearance/Personality: Anikyan has the rigid physical features of his father, but he has his mother's soft eyes (even if they are rather hard to read). He generally wears dark coloured pants and a long coat to conceal himself. No, he has no one to hide from, but he has created a habit out of it because of the life he lived on the surface. Besides, perhaps it is better that he remain a shadow for now. Anykian is a wallflower. He is highly opinionated, but does not voice his opinions unless he feels it prudent to do so. He does not like large groups, and prefers either solitude or the company of a few select others. Anikyan could be considered quiet and reserved or he could be viewed as an alpha-male type man depending on the situation. He often has trouble backing down from a direct confrontation and when things get heated he is known to lose all rationale. History: Anikyan grew up on the surface. His thoughts were the property of the police, but not for long. For one reason or another, Anikyan's chip constantly malfunctioned or stop working altogether. He regularly got horrible headaches, even migraines, where his vision would blur and he was rendered helpless. One day it was discovered that the chip did not work at all, and his father took this opportunity to hand Anikyan (who was seventeen) off to a known rebel and wanted man, James. In doing so, Anikyan's father sacrificed his own freedom, but his son was safe. Why? Even he did not know where his son would be taken. His thoughts were useless to find both James and Ani. James had one other apprentice, who became like a brother to Anikyan. James taught the boys of what the world had once been. The boys were informed of the religions of the world past; the laws; the freedoms; and James' hope that it would return to such a state but without the wars and suffering of others. The boys were allowed to understand these concepts, but to also formulate their own opinions. Just days ago, Anikyan underwent a surgery to remove the chip in his brain for goo (and hopefully put an end to his migraines), but with the surgery came a period of temporary blindness. All was not safe, for James' current lair was discovered and the boys were told to run. Neither knew what became of James, but they assumed the worst. With his friend leading him through alleyways in the darkness of the night, it was decided that Anikyan would have to go underground (for he was slowing them down, being blind and in need of guidance). Without much warning, Anikyan was pushed down a manhole not far from the NTU Hospital where he felt his way to safety. And this is where his history ends and the present takes shape.
