CITY EYE NEWS

New City: The fugitive Runner known as Faith Connors is still alive, and on the run from the authorities. After aiding in the murder of mayoral candidate Robert Pope, of Pope & Associates, and raising security measures to level Red, the maximum alert, she broke into the main building of the New City, the Shard, assisting for the second time in the tried escape of her associate-in-murder and sister, former CPF(City Police Force),Kate Connors, and destroying the server rooms with all the security data needed for ensuring the crime-free city continues safe and orderly. They're now accused of Terrorism.
Mayor Callaghan's Representative of Press stated that: "Until repairs, every citizen is strongly advised to avoid any eletronic communication means, and police force will be used to ensure the safety of all communication in the city. Attendance in groups of four or more people will fall under the crime of Conspiracy until the situation is back to normal and the terrorist suspects are arrested."
This is Shannon Mclean, to the City Eye News.
This news report is brought by: Giving the City what she needs, when she needs it! Newstream Energ-

*C 0 MMS 4R3 0NL1N3*

—Well, hello there, fellow runner-wannabe-ish! Name's Drake. Now I don't like to expose myself too often but I've seen you run before - and don't try to hide it from me, I know all of this City - Thing is we might need your help. You see, when Faith hit the spinal bones of this little surveillance " government", and Jacknife was done and gone, some of us Runners were left in the dark, and sometimes on the field. And I need you guys to come pick'em up and get with them to the meeting point where we'll see how to proceed.
Anyway, since you guys probably don't have a clue of anything more than your home, school and work, and the way to them - I don't blame that with those eyes always on us- I am here to help. Lucky for you guys *gets a white board to the camera and extends his arms* I'm a freaking genius artist.

So...let's start with those November Riots , okay? They were protests that went bad. You see, the City was getting whitey-and-shiney as it is today, violence was diminishing, BUT! Our freedom was sailing away in this boat, too. Most of us chose comfort and safety of this empty walls over you know, just basic things like freedom to come and go, free speech and freedom from those city eyes but some, and our guy Pope was with them, don't. *draws a very bad-drawing, vaguely remembering an old man's face* It went south, big time. Most people gained scars and dead relatives from that day.
The November Foundation was a group, an non-government one, created by yet again Pope and another popular leaders of that day, for support of like-minded people. But as the years passed and the city evolved to what it is now, "Where is November?" Became one of our motto's and sarcastic jokes.
The City was divided as it grew, with great buildings and never ending constructions everywhere, The New City, surrounding pouches of The Old Town, poverty and considerable liberty off comms. *draws childish light blue tall skycrapers and red cranes with guetto buildings in between*
Then guys like Merc and me, along with some more people, decided to get out of our bed revolutions, put our running to good use, and create the Runners. We sworn to get people's info and packages out of surveillance, never asking what we deliver, but rather doing it for freedom, as we dash and jump trought the rooftops, defining the edge of what's an illusion and what's real: we exist and operate on the

Mirror's Edge.

*Draws Runner Sign with red marker* Our logo is a replica of the Horus Eye that sees it all, only with it closed. As if it also looks like is grieving and/or crying. It's red for the blood that was spilled. For the silent revolution we are fighting. For the leadership-and action role we are taking on this.
So, the runners performed different tasks, and were divided by us, The Mentors, into different Runner Factions. I'll tell a little about them so you know how to deal with anyone you encounter.

First of all, we all believe in the Flow, not only of movement, but of everything: that which climbs up, falls down. Things change, this oppression won't last. You wanna know what's not moving or adapting? The dead. So if the weirdos start to say to stay on the flow, try not to look at them with a awkward face, okay?

*First of all, the Reds. *draws red stickman on top of the building beating off three blue stickmen* The "talk to the fist" kind. They believe that the flow kicks in with every fighting move. For them, the perfect run is one where they throw down the first opponent, kicks the second and is already running for the third, without losing rhythm. They are called when the package needs to be secured or when it needs to be hidden and lose heat before being put back on route. Most have great upper body strength, but some are really short-lean types, I like to call those last ones "surprise delivery." All runners have tags, black tattoos for each great job that shows their evolution, and these guys like shocking and sharp ones.

*Yellows!*draws yellow stickman running like wild on a wall* well, if you ask me, runners are all super-athletes, but those guys are the high-performance ones. They train and wash, rinse, and repeat with attention and persistence to each footing, each jump, each step -including in wallrun ones- until they make it so fast they run like they have diarrheia. They get the express, relatively shorter deliveries. Those speeding devils like to make runner tags that are parallel stripes, much like the ones on running clothes.

*Greens are ambientalists, sometimes vegans, and we more often than not tease them for smoking some of what they love. *draws green stickman climbing a very large wall* They live on tree houses on the natural reserve that exists surrounding the border of the City, or in the vast nature-taken parts of Old Town devastated by a hurricane and left abandoned by the government. Greens believe that the flow is better applied when you move as nature intended you to move. Consequently, they are great at resistance-efforts much like the Tarahumara tribe - they can run in a little more slow, but steady way, accomplishing truly mega-marathons per day. When you need something out of the city, or moved great distance, they're the guys. Their runner tags are usually simmetrical, geometrical, sometimes looking like a black squares puzzle.

*Purples are sneaky little dudes. They go ninja - I've even heard of one of them invading a private security building alone and putting everyone there to sleep. They lock picks, and even hack little servers: for them, the flow can be stretched and lengthened the time needed for them to hide and lay low, just like a predator, always ready to take his target. It's not uncommon to find a nest made by them inside ventilation shafts *Draws a purple stickman inside what seems to be underground tunnels* they lack a little in the movement, but living in the sewers -which some runners believe to be so large to fit opposition bodies- they know it better than anyone. They break and enter. Call them when you need to steal something from a company or you want to make things vanishing. Their tags are usually made from a single shape, repeating in a pattern where it gets bigger each time, like a stair. They are sometimes rollers - their cillindric underground lets them use Rollerblades and combine it with their running, so they use shoes that change to rollerblades on the fly.

*Pinks are feminists, *draws pink stickgirl with ponytail, doing a superman frontflip in a gap between buildings* and those girls are great expectancy breakers. I'll explain these women's flow: during a long time I thought flips and tricks were just for aestethics and showing off - and then I saw a pink run. Tough sometimes a pink is from another faction as well, exclusively pink runners train their acrobatics so hard that it becomes functional and it's even distracting to the blues (CPF) - a superman frontflip covers a distance of 20ft with a running start that you are lucky to survive if you try to jump instead. You can laugh all you want, that is, before one of them hits you with a capoeira somersault kick to the chin. They are employed for taking care of all feminist communication and help organize the numerous feminist acts that happen here that you probably never heard of, but should have. Their tags vary a lot, but about half of them use stereotypical geometric-made roses, hearts and birds, the "girly" stuff, while others make the geometrical feminist symbol on black on their skins, the Venus sign that represents females in general, so they all make drawings with geometrical shapes.

*Oranges were left for last, and for most runners and people they are just psychos running wild with masks and non-firing weapons shouting crazy nonsense. *draws orange stickman hitting its head with a loose metal pipe* That's because on their explosive view on the flow, but very few know what they are really about. I sympathize with the guys, I suffer from lack of comprehension too, like, they say I can't draw! *points at his lame-ass drawings on the board* Can you believe those guys? Anyway! Actually all Oranges come from parts of the Old City that are so bad, we call it The Wastelands. And well, for being the ones that most suffered from this shitting system, they are the ones who responds with the more violent approach: they willingly cover their faces and break laws far beyond using a mask in public, they make practical jokes, get real violent, sometimes blow stuff up, all the while carrying his improvised weapons, called Agents (Yeah, Agent Orange, all runners have the secret superpower of making huge lame puns) and shouting all kinds of stuff: Clockwork Orange quotes, runner slangs on a sentence, and their own coded-talking, for example. They work for more extreme political parties, what means their presence means trouble, specially in the New City, so most other factions despise and avoid them. They too are rollers sometimes (after all, you can get explosives and rockets on rollerblades), and they use mocking figures done with geometric forms for tags, like "X" s, or emoticons.

—OK, that's all the info you'll get for now. Get to the Looking Glass Gardens in one piece and you will know more - the coordinates were texted to your phone. I'd be careful around blues lately, specially pursuit cops, keep an eye out for them. Now get out there, and go with the Flow, okay?

Sounds interesting! Here's my sheet

Name: Lena Mikolova
Age: 19
Gender:Female, with a bit on the small side◊
Occupation: [x]Runner (Green with hints of Purple)
Style and Flow: Her way of running is quite unique even among her hippies compatriots. In addition to long distance Running the Green is famous for, she is a rather mousy fellow, in that she also learnt to be quiet and run silently when in a corner or when needed. She believes that the Flow is to be prepared for what Nature throws at you, and go with the flow as needed. Be quiet when things get tough, and be prepared for the long haul otherwise.
Backstory: Lena was all things considered, relatively normal. She grew up with a middle class family on the outskirts of the city, in one of the suburbs, and grew up as any normal girl in a totalitarian government. She was objectively, quite happy as she can get.

She took up parkour as a hobby, a club, and a way to get to school faster during her high school years. Her parents are rather supportive of it, if not worried; they insist she wear a helmet every time she goes out with her friends, which causes her to be teased about to no end.

However, it ceased when her father got involved in a scandal that resulted in her parents getting rounded up, her house getting seized, all during her first year in college in a chemical engineers course (She found that she is rather talented in the field of science). Quickly and hastily running away from her former home and abandoning her college, she escaped to the sewers below the city in a random bout of decision.

To her surprise, she found out that her friends decided that college degree won't be useful when they can't even be accepted, and thus started Running to gain a mean of income as well as giving the city a metaphorical middle finger. And a few close friends joined the Purple, running right into Lena just as she collapsed in the sewers.

Long story short, they found her, caught up with each others, and she trained with the Purples for a while, joining her former friends in Runs as well keeping up with surprising ease. Feeling that she was still within the City's scope of 'people-to-be-rounded-up-and-maybe-shot' however, she decided to inform of her friends of her decision to head to the city outskirts and maybe stay there permanently. So her Purple friends won't be targeted as well.

Thus, with contacts from her Purple buddies, and as well as some hippie friends from high school in the Greens, she joined the Greens, and has been with them ever since. That, and having the materials to ahem, enjoy life doesn't hurt either.

Skills:
- Knowledge
  - Specialises in messing about with chemicals, extending to various medicines and stims she manufactures off plants from a Green greenhouse. Also, keeps a pack of tranquilizer syringes with her.
  - Also knows how to use various utility grenades made from kitchen materials, predominantly smoke bombs or flashbangs.
- Lousy at close combat, and prefers to disorient and then escape, or avoid combat altogether. Seriously understrength in fighting.
- Her signature move is to simply toss a flashbang in someone's face. Either to incite blunt trauma or to well, blind them.
Equipment:
- [2] Flashbang
- [2] Smoke grenade
- PDA/Phone
- First aid kit, with [5] Tranquilizer darts inside as well as bandage and painkillers.
- Switchblade, 20cm.
Runner tag: As simple as it can be◊. Trifecta

Not really...if you're looking for creating an all around Runner you could create one that is independent of factions, like Faith was. Then if you are a PK mercenary and wishes to spy on all factions (that's kind of what I understand by ' mercenary being part of all factions') you could accept jobs that got Runners from all the factions. if you're a merc runner, then you are like Celeste, blackmailed into helping Pirandello Kruger taking over state police force(CPF, the blues) and taking down Runners.

Factionless Runners are relatively free and can train pretty much any way they like, even with the factions if they're proven worthy, but they've got no support from these groups and depends on strong contacts to make a living.

@F1r3 - Lena seems fine. I'll just add up some aspects of the file for you to submit and we are good to go. These are:

Does Lena have a particular way of running that is unique to her, or does she have any signature move?
What is her backstory? How was her life like? What kind of people did she get envolved with in her life? How she started Running? Did they support her running?
does she really was a Purple or did she just trained with them? Because the latter is possible. You can make her run and know stuff like the greens or the purples, which is long distance resistance running versus more silent and faster,(altough fewer) movement, and medicine knowledge versus hacking and lockpicking abilities. Pick a knowledge and a view of the flow, and we're good to go.

Name: Keaton Josephs
Age: 29
Gender/Appearance: Keats is a short, african american man, he has black hair which he tends to tie back into a ponytail. He has a tattoo of a black centipede with red legs going from his left wrist to his shoulder blade. He tends to wear black fingerless gloves, a grey tank top and a pair of camo pants with black running shoes.
Occupation: Independent Runner
Style and Flow: Keats is practical. His method of flow has little flash, having a focus of getting there, fitting his practical mindset. This extends into his combat, where he focuses on dislocating or breaking bones.
- Backstory: Hey. Hey! Is this damn thing on? Cool. It is. I'm Keats, not sure why I'm making this. Guess I'm prepping for when they nab my ass. Eh...Okay, My name is Keats. Folks can call me Centipede. I spent three years with the Blues. Hunting down Runners. Which, of course brings up the question of how I got here. Simply enough; Addiction. When you run, you feel the flow. It's there beside you, you're trascending your body-you become something more. You've heard it all.

So, eventually, I left the PK. I didn't question the fact I had lost a lot of my rights, I got that Tattoo I was looking at, grew out my hair and became a run. Of course, I wasn't much for joining any of the groups. Especially not those fucking organe psychos. So, I'm my own thing. I'm the guy you come to and pay to make things disappear. Ya know? 'Course, I also tend to run and transit things on the side. But, if you need someone to leave their occupation? You call me.

Personality: Keats, is a practical man. He just takes jobs, and will accomplish them with cold, pragmatic ruthlessness. However, when he's not working, Keats tends to be friendly, if not a bit laid back and relaxing. It's the same with making deals, as he'll often invite his clients to grab a bite while they talk over business, His little way of getting on their good side.
Skills: Having an ex military background, Keats is an incredibly skilled hand to hand combatant, fast with a knowledge of the body's weakspots. and skilled and sneaking around, he's also skilled at parkour. He also is a skilled diplomat, has some handiness with tech and is somewhat skilled in strength. If you're taking jobs, you might as well cover your bases.
Equipment: **His fingerless gloves had short, cylindrical steel bumps on each knuckle,
- Cellphone
- Karambit
- A wallet.
Runner Tag: Centipede

Name: Gabriel Zolner
Age: 28
Gender/Appearance: Male, A tall bulky man of Russian descent, box beard, wears hair combed back
Occupation: Blue
Skills: Proficient with Rifle type weapons, a noted mechanic and software engineer, capable of making makeshift weapons and traps if need be or running a virus, capable of running at high speeds typical for the human body and surviving a few punches.
Equipment: G36 Rifle, Body Armor, Riot Shield with special clip to help support rifle, M 1911 A 1 pistol, headset, grappling equipment
Backstory:

Formerly a cop, Gabriel joined after the November Riots hoping to adjust some of the brutality from within the system. And for a few months, he was happy to assist the police force, it paid well, beatings didn't seem too often, and if he worked hard enough maybe he could get something done.

That's what he got for being a idealist, it eventually became clear that no one in charge wanted to change anything about the brutality and none of his fellow cops or anyone in charge had the power.

Not too long later when the runners and couriers began to become really popular, Gabriel took notice, and decided to start contacts and contracts with them. Best to use them as best as he could to help change the city. He's since joined in underground activities and wishes to see where to go next.

Runner Tag: None
Movement style/signature move: When actually in pursuit, best described as a tank in motion, with his riot shield he will charge through objects a little something like this. When in combat his style changes, he could be waiting farther off to pick off his opponent or he could use his shield and rifle and slowly march forward. Safe to say he is not a parkour master in anyway.

I was thinking about including a little detail about how he's working on a exoskeleton from salvaged parts to preform freerunning but nah. He's good as he is.

Anyway, right now, we're the best shot this City got. Being a former cop should bring us some advantages. Check your GPS.

Hey is there room for another on here? No hard feelings if not.

Gonna add my Bio just in case.

Name: Toumi Esa Lepuunen

Age: 22

Gender/Appearance: Male. [URL=http://s570.photobucket.com/user/Obsidian_Guard/media/1390634721836.jpg.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s570.photobucket.com/user/Obsidian_Guard/media/350x700px-LL-8fb89150_260661_600.jpeg.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

Just with a Black Single strap Backpack.

Also has a Tattoo of a Dragon, done in the Trademark runner style with the Tail tip starting under his left eye, travelling to to connect with a coiled body around the left side of his chest, over his heart.

Nationality: Finnish American

Occupation: Runner (Grey) Custom Faction. Motto: We hunt the hunters. The Greys are a collection of Runners with one thing in common. A Burning hatred for the PK force. The Greys see themselves as Apex Predators with the PK's as the prey, having lost runners close to them, or see their very existence as a threat and a blasphemy. The Blasphemy of using the Flow to Halt the flow. To control the Flow. To become a grey is to train ones skills to the fullest. In combat, Mobility and infiltration Because that is exactly what it takes to kill a P Ker. The Greys Ultimate Goal is to completely destroy the PK program, and then Immediately disband once said goal is complete.

Skills: Highly trained in Martial Arts, Parkour and knife fighting. Speaks both English and Finnish. Is a skilled Tinkerer and creates Gadgets and Writes programs that allow him to bypass most technology. The issue tends to be trying to find Materials to build these gadgets. Well versed in Infiltration tactics.

Equipment: Wallet, Karambit, 2x EMP Scrambler grenades, 1 Datastick with Hack Assist Programs, 1 Monocular, Cellphone with Bluetooth Earpiece.

Backstory: It doesn't take much to make someone stand up and fight when they lose everything. It's a whole different story however when a Person fights when they have nothing to gain, and everything to lose. Toumi's Family was Wealthy and influential, with Toumi himself on the fast through the Police force. Would have even made a decent P Ker if given the chance.

But the November Riots changed that. Toumi didn't lose a single person he knew in that riot. Instead he gained a purpose. and when he stumbled on the runners, a cause. They saw potential in the young man with the burning blue eyes and trained him. The Same drive that drove Toumi through Collage and the Police force soon helped him during his training and he devoured every scrape of wisdom and knowledge the Runners were willing to teach him. He became a skilled runner and a vicious fighter.

When the P Kers began killing Runners, Toumi took it worse than most, grieving the loss of his comrades and growing cold and detached, seething with icy rage. When the Grey Faction was founded soon after, Toumi took up it's banner, having been relatively unaligned before, and vowed to see the program burned to the ground.

Runner Tag: metsästäjä (Finnish for Hunter) Movement style/signature move: Easiest way to describe his 'style' is fearless. Toumi does not hesitate to reach his objective by any means. Some even say his methods appear suicidal.

And there we go! Lemme know if I need to fiddle with anything.

Okay, there's a quick issue here, pursuit cops were only revealed to runners about 5 days ago. Don't you want to be an aspirer to creating the greys instead?

I can guess the Greys are going to be some sort of collection of Reds, Oranges and Purples that are so small they function like a small factionless group. I wonder how they will pay their bills, tough. There were false runners employed by Callaghan and the PK some time prior to the game to compromise the Runners, Pope and the CPF, tough, but Reds could protect the other from most threats anyway.

Name: Skylar "Breezy" Locke

Age:27

Gender/Appearance: Female. When she's running packages, she wears a green tank top, brown, loose trousers, and white sneakers, as well as a green bandanna over her mouth, a keepsake from an old friend of hers, which matches her green eyes. She ties her blonde hair back in a ponytail as well when she's on a run.

Outside being a Runner, she normally wears nothing but a green t-shirt, a brown leather jacket, jeans, and black sneakers. Her hair also hangs loose, and she doesn't wear the bandanna.

As for appearance, she's clearly of European descent, and is tall, thin and lithe, of average height for her age.

Occupation: Runner. She's a former Red Runner, but switched to Yellow, with ties to the Pinks, at least in philosophy and beliefs.

Skills: Skylar is one FAST lady, as well as acrobatic. She's got good grip, though not quite good to climb for extended periods of time. She's used her former Red skills and mixed it with the Yellow, creating a style that effortlessly minimizes the loss of the Flow when she attacks while she's moving. She excels at speed, as well as passing takedowns, using wall runs and acrobatics to never be standing still. In combat, she's really fragile, but uses her agility and dexterity to their fullest, packing quite a punch in her painful "dance", as she calls it. However, she knows absolutely nothing about working with technology other than normal everyday items. She's quite the sneaky person as well. When it comes to fighting, she uses the fist blade. The fist blade is a pair of brass knuckles with a short blade sticking out at the end, facing outwards (Right hand has the blade on the right, left hand has blade on the left). She's VERY proficient with them, able to knock out or kill with them as the situation requires it. She's not a follower of any fighting style, preferring to be free form, using her own mixture of moves.

Outside of Running, she can play a mean violin, and speaks German fluently.

Equipment:

Her fist blades, but she can wear those WHILE she's Running, as her hands are still free.
A pack of bandages for bruises, scrapes and cuts.
2 Smoke bombs.

Backstory: Skylar lived a carefree life, happily drifting along in life like the gentle breeze, where she got her nickname from. She was blind to the injustices, the wrongs committed by people...until the November Riots came about. There, her eyes were opened to the sheer brutality of the world around her, as one of her closest friends, the very same that gave and made her her signature bandanna, Seth Steele, was killed. And it also started her on her career as a Runner, the now gentle wind turned into a raging maelstrom. And she was not afraid to show it to anyone that got in her way. She got in contact with an old friend of hers, now a Tracker, who goes by the name of "Frederick Gestalt", who provides support and advice over her comms, but not as an official Tracker. And she's been on the Run ever since. Some even say that she's the wind itself when she works with the Flow.

Runner Tag: Strangely, she has a small picture rather than a tag or emblem. The sign is of a few leaves, caught up in the wind, the very same as the one embroidered on her bandanna. But, for the sake of marking places and such, a crude drawing of two leaves, one white, one green, is normally enough.

Movement style/signature move: She seamlessly blends her fighting and parkour skills to move quickly, while minimizing the loss of the Flow when fighting. She incorporates a lot of slides, wall running, rolls and quick dashes when she moves. When she's REALLY in the zone, she lives up to her nickname, moving like the wind. Her signature move the Wall Leap, leaping from wall to wall as a quicker means of climbing, provided that the walls are reasonably close together.

Okay Breeze, you are accepted!

Come hang by the discussion thread where we'll discuss a little about your character balancing, training, affiliations, and the issues of killing as a Runner.
