CHARACTER INFORMATION
******************************************

*Name: Denyto "The Wire" Oddgrass
*Pronounced: (Den-ee-toh)
*Residence: Geartown
*Height: 5'7"
*Weight: 130 lbs
*Age: 20, he thinks
*Race: Human


******************************************
BACKGROUND
******************************************

Denyto was born into an impoverished household, and as a child he lived with his mother, father, and younger sister in a tiny apartment in the city. He worked a factory job as a child, and one day he returned home late one evening to find that his whole family had disappeared. A bright child of only 13, Denyto immediately suspected foul play. Seeing no other option for survival, he quit his job and took to the streets, where he has been living ever since.

Denyto was very close to his sister, and against all odds, he still holds onto a glimmer of hope that she is alive somewhere in the metropolis.

******************************************
CURRENT STATUS
******************************************

For the past several years, Denyto has been making his home in a small storage compartment in the ceiling of a parking garage. Although he never received a formal education, he is quite bright and reads anything he can get his hands on. He collects discarded objects that he thinks are beautiful or unusual, and he adorns his makeshift home with these things.

Denyto is mostly nocturnal to avoid being noticed, but he runs the occasional daytime errand for the owner of a local bookstore, who in turn rewards Denyto with tattered books.

******************************************
FIGHTING STYLE
******************************************

Although he is rather small in stature, Denyto is incredibly flexible and uses the laws of physics to his advantage. His unique fighting style and resilient nature has earned him the nickname "The Wire" on the street. He capitalizes on momentum, inertia, speed, and accuracy to deal devastating blows to his opponents. In some cases, he uses his enemies' momentum in ways that makes opponents deal damage to themselves (i.e. swinging them into walls or tripping them).

Although he is certainly skilled in unarmed combat, Denyto's favorite weapon is street sign that says "10" on it. He wears makeshift armor made entirely of discarded scrap metal that he has scavenged.

Denyto can disappear and stay hidden whenever he needs to.

******************************************
PERSONALITY
******************************************

Denyto does not interact much with others, and never has. As a result, he tends to be withdrawn and extremely soft spoken, with no real perception of what is considered socially "normal." When he does talk, he stutters compulsively and tends to fidget.

Although he dislikes stealing in practice, Denyto takes what he needs to from time to time so as not to starve to death. he has perfected the art of remaining unseen, and such does not get caught.

He has a few "friends" who also live on the street, but Denyto does not form emotional bonds with his peers because he knows that they (or he) may disappear one day without a trace.

Although he drank heavily when he first lost his family, Denyto has attempted in recent years to curb his alcohol use because he believes that it dulls his reflexes.

******************************************
WEAKNESSES
******************************************

Although he is hard to catch, Denyto is not very strong at all, and can be easily overpowered if he is rendered defenseless.

Denyto does not show his emotions much, but he loves objects of beauty. As such, he will take great personal risks to protect these objects. Life is something he considers to be especially beautiful.

Although he is bright and has great instincts, Denyto never received a formal education. As such, his bank of knowledge is limited only to what he has read in books or newspapers.

Name: RED
Race: Gear Bot
Alliance: Robot

Appearance:
As in picture, but with a couple extra details. Under his "skirt" is a centipede-like lower half with 50 single jointed legs in all. His body while concealed stands casually at 7ft, but with his lower half fully extended, he can reach up to over 10ft tall. His body is made of a combination of steel, copper, brass and gold. The outter body is plated with gold and brass, while his fingers are copper (for electric attacks). The gear symbol is etched and coated red on his back.

Backstory:
One of Baron's first few AI creations as well as a damn good stealthy assassin. He has had his memory erased a couple decades after Gear Town was established, so he has no real memory of what Baron really is.

He is a noble and a business inspector for the Gear Bot and human community and has been known to take advantage of his position, age, and power. Even a few other Gear Bots will make insults behind his back (never to his face. He has some political influence over the town militia). Red started as an assassin bot and has worked his way up in a sense to this current semi-retirement. He is usually seen in public market places on inspections. He will usually grant good grades to bot owned stores but he has been known to (and strangely over looked for) puposely destroying and then harrassing human owned shops with fines and threats.

He is several decades old, maybe as old as Gear Town or older. He has an obsessive compulsion to replace his oldest parts each Market Day, out of a paranoid fear of winding down like an old watch. He is also involved in part of the selection process for the human sacrifices.

Powers:
His fingers are actually extendable tentacles that reach out to 10ft and can give off a high voltage charge. His centipede-like lower half along with the tentacles allows for high maneuverability and the ability to scale walls.

* Name: Veras Coldt
* Race: Machine
* Gender: Female
* Alliance: Cash->Gearbots.

Veras Vamos arrived in Geartown by sheer accident. Her mother was a Mercenary who was on the run from the law and who's only escape seemed to be stowing away on a transporter to Geartown. During the chase she was shot four times and with the safe haven of Geartown within a minute's reach, she held on to the transport and made it to the docking ring within an inch of her life.

She was rushed to the hospital where she gave birth to a bouncing baby girl and quietly passed away from her injuries. Before she died, she made the doctor promise on his life (and at gunpoint), the girl would come to possess the bullets that killed her mother. The baby received the Gear brand and was made an inhabitant of the city.

Twenty years later saw the rise of the new Veras. Having been taken in by an old gunsmith named Oliviander Coldt and having relinquished her body of flesh and blood, save for her face and neck, she has been taking mercenary orders from the Gearbot establishment. Things have been going well. Were it not that she thinks Oliviander is her Father.

Uh, what? I'm sorry, but "dreadnought"? That's a BLATANT copyright rip from the WARHAMMER 40K universe. Not to mention making a character bio purposely made to one-up another?

Quote :

bio: little is actually know about dread but the are rumors that he is older there red but none know but dread

Not to mention that the characte bio is... 5 fragmented sentences.

The alliance is still either humans or robots

Execpowerz, There is NO deathcorps in GearTown. You need to write a full bio, with full sentences.

Second Warning.

Name: Antoni
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Alliance: Human
Gear mark location: Under his left eye ( Oops!)
Bio:
Antoni is a self taught Prosthetic Technician. After seeing so many workers losing their limbs to the teeth of factory gears, Antoni decided to study up on engineering and mechanics of both the machine and the human body. Citizens paid well for his equipment and consultations and life was good.

It got even better when he met his wife. Although the situation that lead to this wonderful meeting was unfortunate. His wife’s leg was crushed during a visit to the factory. She was rushed to Antoni’s house where he saved her life by replacing her bloody crushed leg with a prosthetic. From there, they fell for each other and had a daughter together. Antoni would create small toys for his little one and worked hard to create an A.I. playmate for her. One unfortunate night, the Gearbots attacked his home and kidnapped his wife. Antoni panicked and hid his daughter under some boxes and rags then ran after his wife. The rescue mission failed and when he returned, his daughter and the A.I. project were gone. His entire family was taken to the grinder.

Baron decided to take this chance to nab Antoni. Antoni was taken to the Tower, and Antoni pleaded for his life and that he’ll do anything to stay alive. The Baron told him he would not throw him into the grinder if he becomes an assistant. The Baron appreciated Antoni’s work considering his skill and contraptions as a work of art. With his talent, the Baron could create the “perfect” person. Antoni was contracted into forcing parts onto humans to make them “better”. He would follow the Baron’s orders, constantly making changes to one person, and unfortunately victims would not survive the surgery. The Baron would constantly blame Antoni for the failed projects and Antoni could only reply “I’ll do better next time sir.” Antoni still continues his secret occupation at the tower and while working in the city.

Antoni slowly became addicted to perfection. When a citizen with an oddity would walk down the streets, Antoni’s eye would twitch and he would try to figure out how he could fix it. He doesn’t like where this addiction was going, but he can’t help it. His life depends on it.

Note: Antoni never met the Baron face to face. He is usually in an operating room with a speaker phone yelling at him.

Name: Marin Teegan
Gender: Female
Race: Human (with enhancements?)
Alliance: human
-------------------
Physical description:
Age: 24
Hair color: Dirty blond
Eye color: Blue gray
Color of prosthetics: mainly a nice shiny steel gray, with some cobalt blue and dark gray on the undersides.
Gear mark location: goes from the cheek bone, to her jaw.
-----------------------------
Emotional description:
Personality: On the surface, she's a rather happy go lucky kind of girl. She's rather cheerful, and likes to talk to people, humans, bots, and inbetween, to hear their opinion on certain subjects, or just to see how their day has been. She's assured her place in the world, even if she is not sure where it is going. Marin does have a serious side though-she is very focused on her work, and the improvement of her artificial limbs. She also has a great admiration for those who work in the same feild.

Vices: Can be hyper and oblivious to her surrondings. Can also be obsessed over her work, to the point of staying awake to where her body just gives out. Can also be a little high maintance at times, and very rude to those she doesn't like.

Virtues: She's pretty nice to everyone, and is willing to look over things for free. She also likes to try new things, and has a fairly flexible mindset. She's also not a bad listener, when she isn't being a hyperball.
---------------
Historial description:
Bio: Marin was the second child born to a middle class parents, of the bureaucrat profession. She, along with her older brother and younger sister, were brought up in normalty for the middle class of gear town-play, learn the basics to become a productive citizin of Gear town, respect the Baron and his bots. But, as Marin became older, it became more and more obvious that there was a problem-a very serious one, from the way her limbs would become suddenly weak, or how she would faint on the playground-and later, a resistant fever that would not go away. After taking her to doctor to doctor, trying to discover what the problem was, when it was finally discovered that she was suffering from a rare, flesh eating disease had invaded through her arms and legs, and was getting close to invading her vitals. Marin was rushed into surgery that very night, losing her arms to the socket, and her legs to the knee. She was watched for over two weeks to make sure there was only healthy tissue left, before releasing her back to the outside world.

Least to say, she had problems in the days ahead. While she was lucky to gain prosthetic limbs due to her family's budgeting and favor call ins, the physical therapy in order to function on a normal level was brutal. She forced herself to attempt walking or fine mortar skills in order to do everyday tasks others took for granted. For awhile, she had her doubts that it was worth all the hard work just to try and be normal, and follow in her parents footsteps. Then, at fourteen, her life changed again.

She had been walking downtown, when she saw an ad for a prosthetic limb clinic. Marin ended up taking the flyer home with her, seeing the difference in the one shown, and the one she currently had. Before long, she was studying the construction and engineering from books; after learning as much book knowledge that she could, she wrangled, weedled, and pleaded to observe in prosthetic technician's clinic's in the various sectors that she could find that were approved of by her parents. Some of them gave way; others, did not. Either way, by observing, raiding the junkyard, and barting to use their equipment, at seventeen, Marin made her first, usable limb. From then on, she kept at it, making it into a self improvement project from then on, and gaining from this, in time, a mentor that she could work with. She worked under her teacher's eye, a man named Shean, for five years, until deemed ready for the work force at age twenty one. Currently, Marin is working for a small clinic, doing repairs and creating custom parts for cliente. She has hopes in opening her own profitable clinic one day, and is still working on her greatest ongoing project of improving her arms and legs.
--------------
Fighting description:
How she fights: She's well versed in hand to hand combat, as part of her physical treatment to make sure her prosthetics work as they should. Seeing how her feet and fists are refined steel, she can pack quite the punch when forced to. She's also added some reinforcement to her legs lately, as to run at greater speed. Jumping with little effort can usually take her up to the roofs of smaller buildings.
Weapons: Her limbs are the only weapons that she needs. While she has not made any sort of enhancements on her legs as of yet, she has done a few experimental modifications. With the left hand, she's used an old fire alarm as a noise distraction, and, with her right, has used the basics of a taser in the wiring system. Seeing how hard it can be to gather enough of a shock to stun, she prefers using her left hand in weapons.

Design Sheet

Name: Walter Gerät Erfinderisch
Race: Robot
Gender: Male
Alliance: Gear Bots

Walter was born human from a German family that moved to Gear Town in the mid 1880s. He was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Erfinderisch. At the age of 8, he started playing around with gears and pipes and gadgets by taking them apart and putting them back together again. At the 25, he graduated at the University of Gear Town as engineer and inventor. Throughout his lifetime, he helped the city with all sorts of revolutionary inventions like the automatic vaccuum cleaner, the motor bicycle (as well as the motor tricycle for the kids), the weather control system, and so forth. Just when things were going so well, he then discovered at the age of 39 that he had cancer and only had 2 years to live, according to his doctor.

In order to keep making inventions, he spent the remaining 2 years of his life working on what would be his greatest invention yet: A robotic suit entirely run by a human mind and soul. He finished the suit on 1926, just before his final days of living was closing in on him. The purpose of this project was to transfer both a person's mind and soul from his dying body into an artificial body made to function like a human. He finally tested it out on himself at full blast which caused his machines in his laboratory to go out of control and destroyed his house. But other than that, the project was a succeed.

Decades has passed since the project that saved his life. Now as a functional robot with a light bulb for a head, he recently runs a shop selling gears and parts to the citizens of Gear Town, as well as continuing creating his inventions for the town he was born and raised in.

Abilities:

- The power to INVENT!
- His head lights up when he has a idea, but can also light up to express emotion.

Notes:
- His robotic body went through a series of changes throughout the years. He started from a blocky mass of steampunk-esque machine parts up to a slim, lightweight body using spare parts
- He has to change his "light bulb" every 3-4 years
- Since he was raised by Germans, he speaks in a German accent
- He normally wears clothes like he did when he was human (i.e. 1920s fashion)

Walter:Passed
Marin: still under discussion

Name: Cecilia "Cupcake" Norelle
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Gear: Right shoulder, right at the joint
Alliance: Human
Bio: Ceci probably doesn't want to start and conversation with you. Or go out sometime. She doesn't want to hear about your pets or buy whatever it is you're trying to sell her. And no, she doesn't want your number. She does, however, want you to buy her cakes. Or cookies, whatever you're into.

Cecilia Norelle was born in the ghetto and was very promptly thrown out when she reached sixteen. Tycan Norelle, her father, thought that was a good age for her to set out on her own. That's when his dad threw him out, and that's when he threw out her older sister and older brother. And that's when he'll throw out her baby sister. That's just how it's done in the Norelle family. Lucky for Ceci she was better equipped than her brother, Finbar, to deal with her new independent life. He's somewhere... He shows up at her shop every once in a while asking for money which she sometimes gives him. Navu, her sister, is missing, disappeared by all accounts. Ceci is somewhat preoccupied by finding her, hoping that she can reunite with a most beloved sister. She fears for her youngest sister, Sara, who is only twelve but will eventually be shoved onto the streets as well. Ceci had money when she'd been tossed out; she'd worked hard to save up. She doubts that Sara is preparing the way Ceci and Navu had. Sometimes she visits Sara and brings her treats, doing her best to make sure Sara knows where Ceci's shop in the Green Zone is. One day, Sara will at least have somewhere to go. The very few people that are close to her call her "Cupcake". That's what momma called her when she was little and Sara still calls her that. She hates it when people call her that, except for Sara.

Ceci lives in the Red Zone, right on the cusp of down town and the suburbs. It's pretty nice and a big step up from where she grew up. This after four years of success at her very own bakery. It's not too fancy but she moves a lot of cookies and cupcakes to hungry teens. Her shop is right in the middle of the Electric Light District and she doesn't have much competition for tea and cake. She likes her customers too, so that helps keep her relatively friendly. She doesn't deviate much from the Red Zone and the Green Zone, mostly out of ambivalence for her hometown. She just wants to make cake. Every now and then she has to wander over to City Hall, but that's about it. The Green Zone is her comfort zone and she's at every Market Day looking for something special. She's successful enough and she wants to keep it that way.

Ceci is by no ways mean spirited, just... practical and not particularly patient with strangers. She's worked hard, come from a distinctly unhappy childhood plagued by a drunken father, and has her reasons to keep to herself. But she's a nice lady, really. She cares deeply for her siblings and even though she views Finbar as a failure, she does what she can to help him out when he asks for it. She's a bit of a softie for her more regular customers, giving them extras here and there. She doesn't go out of her way for people unless they're customers and strangers certainly won't get any kind looks from her. People describe her as cold and guarded and that's no entirely untrue. When she opens up, she can be quite warm; it's just rare. Good luck, sucker.

Currently, she's doing pretty well. No boyfriend but she's thinking about working on that. No pets and she might remedy that as well. Her brother hasn't been around in awhile and that worries her but he can take care of himself for the most part. Business is good and she's had some free time to look for Navu. The new kid minding the store during the day is doing okay and her assistant, Mark, is doing great. Hopefully, he doesn't run off to start his own place. That would suck. And she needs him to be her diurnal better half so she can stick to her night owl schedule.

Marin: Pass
Ceci: Pass

: D welcome!

She looks cute! More humans are always good.

It Name: Poison Gunner
Race: Gunner/Science Accident
Gender: N/A (But refer to it as a "He")
Age: 25 years
Gear: Chest, split
Alliance: Gearbot
Bio: The Poison Gunner is the youngest of the Five Gunners, machine-and-flesh Enforcers of the Glorious Gear Baron, and one of the strangest inhabitants to be created, albeit accidentally, in Gear Town.

Back in the early years of the current Baron's reign, the Gunners were numerous and experimental creatures, combining each others' talents and being(s) to create new Gunners and new Weapons. The Poison Gunner is comprised of Four Such Gunners who attempted, and failed, to combine themselves and their weapons into a new form. The creature that was created in the failed combination, and the sudden explosion in one of the wings of the Research and Development building, was a mass of highly toxic poisons and acids, corrosive beyond most acids known to the residents of Gear Town, it became self-aware and contained itself inside a Toxic-Waste Disposal 'bot, and soon after refitted itself to contain its' core-self, the bit of him that created, constantly, the acidic body of Poison.

Eventually, it was determined that it was, in a skewed view, still a Gunner, for it had been the thing that had, ultimately, killed the Two Full Gunners and their Apprentices, and was intelligent enough to take a Gunner's Name; thus, The Poison Gunner was born.

Highly intelligent, for a blob of acidic poisons, and viciously inhuman, the Poison Gunner has re-created his carrying unit to accompany his unique physique, containing his body inside a special Hardened-Glass bubble and surrounding that with his Second-Body. It moves as he commands it to, it is strong, it is tall, but very clunky and slow-moving.

His weapons are attacked to his back and, when removed for combat, reveal glass chambers that fill with the excess of the Poison Gunner's body-waste. This substance is used to fuel his weapons with "ammunition"; filtered through powerful machinery, the "Gun" on the right fires a pure stream of the poisonous acid, while the Gun on the Left fires Breakable Canisters of the acidic poison. While being dangerous and deadly to both humans AND Gearbots, the acids do not wear away the buildings of Gear Town in an As-Of-Yet-Explained phenomena.

Extra Fact: Being stripped of a human conscience; the Poison Gunner went on to create the First Gunner Mafia, a network of thugs and hooligans that answer only to the Poison Gunner and enforce his judgement. Through this, he runs Extortion rings, "Protection"-money rackets, and a huge "underground" drug-trafficking network made from the Filtrated Excess of the poisons used in his weapons. He currently Enforces in the Green Zone.

Weakness: Oxygen and Fire: His body cannot sustain itself long in oxygen-rich environments, hardening and eventually evaporating in the outside world, it works to his advantage as the Gear Baron has ordered his City be Protected, NOT destroyed. However, put to an open flame, the acids burn up almost immediately.

Clumsy Body: While being in an armor-hardened containment unit with an exo-suit to rival any gearbot or human alive, it is very lanky and very ungraceful in its' motions; preferring to stay in one place and turn to face his opponents, it puts him at a disadvantage (in some situations) to fight fast opponents.
