Pre-N.S.P.A. Biography: Camilla's life was not a pretty one, she was born in Neo-Nairobi, to a simple couple with a simple life, until her father got in bed with the wrong people, in a rush to save his family from Neo-Nairobi's biggest crimelord, they fled to Neo-Seoul, without a chit to their name, her parents worked hard for very little, just enough to survive but they couldn't care for their 5 year old, not with the threat of the Crimelord ever present even in Neo-Seoul, so they put her up for adoption. She stayed in a poorly funded, run down orphanage until she was 18, when she decided she'd find her family on her own. See the orphanage was basically a halfway house between the streets and prostitution, it was basically a finishing school for prostitutes run by women, though no one knows that when they drop their daughters off, so by the time she'd gotten old enough to run, she'd been trained to steal, flirt and defend herself from the day she was dropped off. She was at the top of her class and while she was pretty and could flirt like the best, her primary skill was combat, she was basically a prodigy if there were such a thing for that. The girls are trained to not only show a man a good time but to protect themselves and their 'sisters' as well.

After years of training, she finally graduated to start real 'Work', Her first day was a fateful one as she was to be the escort for the son of a crimeboss, Axel Kawabe. It was supposed to be a simple party where he and about a half a hundred of his friends would drunk and party themselves into an early grave but it was more than that, it was Axel's initiation day and to take his father's place one day, so his first assignment was the murder of a couple who'd long since run from his father's wrath. They'd been tied up and Axel feeling himself thought to bring his escort along, to show how much of a man he was. Camilla was his favorite of the night though she hadn't touched him. They'd been lead into a room and Camilla's training had been lost to her at that moment. That was the first and last time she'd seen her parent's faces before Axel shot them both dead. Unable to move, or do anything, Camilla was lead out of the room and was supposed to be killed since she'd witnessed a murder but the shock wore off and she wasted no time defending herself, her intentions were to kill Axel Kawabe but instead she decided that the whole family needed to go so she abandoned the "Home" as it is called and became a bounty hunter, hoping to one day be lead in the direction of the Kawabe family instead. As a bounty hunter she spent most of her time beating creeps, breaking pervs and abusive husband's and parents, and over her years of work she built quite the reputation around Neo-Seoul and finally approached by N.S.P.A., hoping to legitimatize her and get her working for them. She agreed with the idea that she planned to destroy the Kawabe family, starting first with their business then themselves.
Personality profile: ] Looking at her, One might not know how deep this river goes Camilla is someone who walks around like she owns the place, with an aire of confidence that isn't actually there. She always seems to have something to prove, and given her species, she kind of does, so she put nearly everything she does on display, she isn't afraid to take control, simply for the glory, and will rub it in your face. Don’t let her beat you at anything because if she does, she'll never let you live it down. She uses sarcasm and dark humor to hide her real emotions, except anger. She has a predisposition towards violence, and has no problem throwing a punch, or whatever’s close. She is a quick witted, sharp tongue girl who doesn't have much of a filter. She says whatever is on her mind, good or bad and does not care how it makes someone feel as long as it is the truth. She is cynical to a fault. It takes her a great deal of time to trust people and even then that trust is limited. That being said, Camilla can be kind of sweet in her own way, and is most of the time a bit playful and is deep inside a good person. She tries to hide it but overall she’s looking out for the greater good. Even if that means putting a bullet through a brain.
Unique Skills/Abilities:She is very good at hurting people. If it is in her hand it's a weapon.

So begins...

Nov. 14, 2117
West Slums, Neo-Seoul

Cammie was not in the mood for this. Her target ran down ridiculous amount of alleys, hoping to avoid her but instead what he got was an elbow to the nose as he burst out of the alley and into the street where Cammie was waiting for him the entire time. He crashed on to his back, clutching his nose. "You stupid bitch!" He wheezed. "You broke my nose." he cried, blood gushing from nostrils. Camilla rolled her eyes. "Yes," She said, her Neo-Narobi accent still strong, after all this time. "I did." She told him as she stepped on other side of him. She brandished her whip before crouching down. "That's not all I'm going to do to you either." She said, almost as if she were flirting with him. He should know better then that.

Camilla Janye was a bounty hunter, and this sad sap was her bounty, Rick Park-Un a con man that had a taste for downtrodden women. He would come in like a shining knight, pretend to love them, make them forget about their exes, or dead husbands, boyfriends what have you, and then promptly rob them blind. "Now, we can do this the easy way, or my favorite," She paused, gesturing to her chest which he was stupid enough to look right down. "The hard way." She said with a grin that promised many things. He looked up at her, unsure what to make of her. She stood up and stretched her long body, which was draped in black and red leather that hugged her form in ways that ought to be illegal, not that much was in Neo-Seoul, and allowed him a long look of her, elongated further by the boots she wore, with a hidden wedge.

God, men were stupid. She turned slowly, as if waiting for his response and all he did was look at her ass, which was precisely what she wanted. She gripped the hilt of her whip and cracked it, wrapping it around his throat. " The hard way it is." She said and proceeded to drag him along with her, like a toy dog on a leash, down the streets of the West Slums. It was a short walk to where they'd originally started, and a woman, a round but young Korean stood near a bank. She was shivering but not from the cold, but instead having watched as Camilla grabbed Rick and tossed him bodily into the alley nearest them. The woman, whose name Camilla didn't bother to ask for or remember if she told her, just gaped. "He's wanted for--" Camilla paused and couldn't quite remember all of his charges but she didn't care much. He was a pretty penny and he was close enough that it didn't take her too far out of her way to catch him. "He's wanted for a lot, a bounty's one his head." She said and tightened her grip on her whip causing him to groan miserably behind her. The woman looked sick. "You're were almost a victim, You're Welcome, By-e" She called out and turned, her volocycle sat waiting for her, a little ways up, where a group of teen aged boys at admiring it. She grinned, and dragged Rick along about a foot or so before she grabbed a set of cuffs from her hips and and secured them around his wrists and a utility pole. She grabbed her whip but not before tightening it just a bit before hooking it back onto her hip.

She approached the boys and smiled. "Is there yours?" She asked, faking her best stupid girl voice. The boys turned to her, and gaped. One of them, a thin, lanky Japanese boy who looked as if his balls just dropped, grinned. "It's mine." He said with a nod. "Oh?" She said, inwardly rolling her eyes. "Big man huh?" She said and his friends all chuckled and nudged each other. "Do it, Kamui." one of them said with a whistle. "Yea, Real big." He said and she chuckled. "Give me a ride?" She asked and he blanched. "Ah, It uh-needs charged, but how about you come hang with us?" He countered and Camilla chuckled. "I can't, I have somewhere to be." She said and walked over to the bike an d pressed her hand against the ignition pad, making it roar to life, lighting up the otherwise dimmly lit street. The boys, all but Kamui, laughed. "She got you, bro!" one of them said and Kamui looked defeated. "Man, Whatever," He said and Camilla chuckled. "Do me a favor, lover boy," She said and leaned in. "Keep an eye on the pervert for me." She said sweetly, nodding in Rick's direction and pressed a kiss to his cheek. Kamui melted and chuckled goofy. "Sure thing," He said and she took off.


A few hours later, Camilla sat in the N.S.P.A's office, her leg crossed over the other while she waited, seemingly forever for her check. Kamui and his friends held to their word and kept watch over Rick while she had a car sent back to fetch him. "Camilla Janye," the receptionist's voice called out. "finally," Camilla said before getting to her feet and approaching the desk. "Fifth collar this, Month." the receptionist said handing her an envelope with her check in it ."Indeed, Christmas is coming up." She said, and shoved the envelope into of of the many pouches that hung around her shapely waist. She turned to leave but the receptionist called her back . "Oh, This came for you." She said and Camilla arched an eyebrow. "Christmas bonus?" She asked and the receptionist chuckled. "I don't know." She said and handed her another slightly larger envelope. Camilla shrugged and put it into a slightly larger pouch before heading out.

She drove to an old parking unit and dropped off her bike with the half dead security guard. He was useless but everyone knew that Camilla Janye lived across the street and if you touched her bike, she would find and emasculate you so she didn't really care.

She made the short trek to the apartment, hit up the convenient store on the same side of the street and even longer trek up the stairs to the tenth floor where her apartment was. She didn't mind the walk, it give her a bit of a work out before chilling out at home. She got to the door, and unlocked it with an ancient method of pulling out a phone, and having it unlock it but before she stepped in something attached itself to her waist "Su-Yeoung," Camilla sighed. "Welcome back!" said the little creature, which was actually a little Korean girl, with a cute but dirty round face. "Here," Camilla said and dropped the bag of food she was carrying into Su-Yeoung's hand. "Bought too much" She lied, and Su-Yeoung beamed. "You always buy too much, you're gonna go broke." Said the girl, and Camilla chuckled and opened the door, letting her and the girl inside.

Su-Yeoung's mother was a drug addict and could barely keep herself up right when she was high and wasn't home when she was sober, Su-Yeoung worked scrap yards and repaired bikes just to keep them in the apartment,where her mother got money for drugs, Su-Yeoung never told her but Camilla guessed. Prostitution wasn't illegal, but it was heavily monitored, what likely Su-Yeoung's mother did, wasn't monitored at all. Camilla would know, she'd been raised for the latter. The Home as it was called, had been built for tutoring orphaned and abandoned girls for such a career, they were cleaned and high priced, but there were cheaper ways to get girls, from women and girls who didn't grow up in one of the Home's, it was a fast and cheap fuck, for quick cash. It was what made Camilla look after the girl, she pitied the mother, mostly, for what she had to do to get by, had she'd been doing it to look after Su-Yeoung, Camilla would have sent her to the Madame at the Home for proper training but it wasn't, it was for drugs and other bullshit. So Camilla took it upon herself to look after Su-Yeoung.

Su-Yeoung plopped on the couch that sat parallel to the wall of her rather cheap apartment. The walls were thin, so thin, they could hear people yelling, fighting, fucking, without even trying. "The Parks are back together," Su-Yeoung said as she dug into the bag for her favorite treats, as if to emphasis this. Mrs, Park screamed out her pleasure. Camilla rolled her eyes. "That'll last about fifteen seconds, after that." She said and sat down beside the girl and they tore into food she'd bought.

Su-Yeoung sat watching hypernet videos while Camilla showered, changed into a loose tee and a pair of underway, and counted her checks. She had enough for her and Su-Yeoung to get by for a month or two as things were but she needed something steady. She was thinking of maybe adopting the girl in truth, but she wasn't sure she could do that until she found Axel Kwanabe, and his ilk. Once that was over she could chill out, properly look after the girl, but none of that was possible at this rate. His collar never came up and that was likely because he wasn't in Neo-Seoul, which if it hadn't been for Su-Yeoung, she would have left ages ago, but this left her with no other options. She needed a job. Sighing softly, she logged into the hypernet and paid her bills before deciding she needed to sleep. She stood up and then remembered the envelope from behind and grabbed it, wondering what this was about.

"Oh, you've got to be kidding me." She said to herself. So there might be a God after all.

Camilla sighed as she parked her volocycle in the N.S.P.A's car port and strentched at the sight of the massive building. She chewed on her inner cheek. She was late, obnoxiously late, but she wasn't sure about this, at all. She decided though, finally that this would serve two purposes, give her access to terabytes of data on Axel as well as provide a steady enough income to truly care for Su-Yeoung.

She cracked her neck, her hair left down in wild spirls, bouncing around her shoulders as she did so and made her way into the building and the elevator.

As she travelled to the fortieth floor, she examined herself in the polished metal. She was dressed in her typical attire, a skin tight black body armor, that looked like a designer cat suit. She wore a white designer half hoodie over her chest with short sleeves, that gave her a street fashion look as opposed to a bounty hunter, she wore thigh high athletic shoes, and a loose black belt that Su-Yeoung liked to call her 'Utility Belt,' with all the pouches that hung around her shapely waist. She told the little girl she was never letting her read another comic again, but that was a lie and they both knew it.


The elevator door opened and she approached another desk, the receptionist was male, so she smiled her almost signature kiss you, kill you grin as she leaned against the large desk. Before she could speak, he handed her a keycard. "Room 10," And that was it. Camilla sat up, took the card with a pout and made her way to he room.

Suddenly, nerves hit her like an automatruck. She was about to go legit, no more bounties, no more free reign. Would she have to wear a uniform? By the Maker she hoped not, her outfits were distracting but that was the point, it worked, it allowed her to break almost any guard. It was what the whipmistress at the Home taught her. Distract, Pretend to sumbit, only to dominate. She shook her nerves.
"Fear cuts deeper" She told herself as she had been telling her for years. Fear makes everything worse then it actually is. She approached the door.

She swiped the keycard through the keypad and stepped through the door.
It turns out, she was late and clearly noot the only one. She scanned the occupants. Two women, who looked to need a serious fashion overhaul, one was Korean with glasses, she held holopad and the other, she guessed Korean and something that gave her a darker shade. She seemed to be in charge but her aura. Speaking of a darker shade, there was a dark skinned man, handsome enough, as well as a two other men, one Japanese if she had to guess with a serious aura about him and the other, Korean maybe, the complete opposite. She then noticed a Japanese man that didn't seem quite right. She ingored all of this and walked into the room like it belonged to her. She smiled dangerously. "So," She pulled the enevlope, no wrinkled to all hell, from her pouch and held it up. "Which of you, stalkers sent this to me, and offered me a job?"

Meon Jong rose an eyebrow at Dikshil's offer, biting his lip. He was small, but small on the outside. Being small in the inside meant crawling into a web he could not again easily escape. Neo-Seoul, the NSPA, the systems Dikshil so proudly flaunted- they were prisons. They were your life. He opened his mouth to say something when suddenly the door flew open, a young woman entering. The elderly dick's eyes wandered down her outfit for a moment before glancing up to her face again. She wasn't from here, that was for sure.

"That would be me, dear," Dikshil called to Camilla as she entered. "Meet Camilla Janye, she's done contract work for the N.S.P.A. before. She has a history with apprehending criminals." Casually from his chair Laszlo swung over a holopad for Camilla to sign. "And the job, if you choose to accept it, would be to work in a new department of the N.S.P.A. One designed to solve the crimes our other systems cannot." Dikshil stared at the woman. "I brought you all here to offer you a position in D.U.S.K."

"So we would move to D.U.S.K permanently?" Su-min asked with a slight frown, blatantly ignoring Camilla and her entrance, "Not still working in our own departments alongside? I'm not sure if I can balance the work load, if that's the case."

"No, whatever positions you previously had, as well as your salaries and benefits, would be wiped and replaced with those more fitting to your new ranks," Dikshil responded, trying to give her toothy equivalent of a smile. "You'd be the only officers of an all new police department. That's a full time job if I've ever heard of one."

Investigator Park nodded curtly and crossed her legs. It would seem she had made a decision, and one in favor of the promotion offered. For Su-min it wasn't a hard offer to take. She was particularly disliked by her coworkers in Forensics and often felt like her job was stale - boring. Any excuse to get out was welcome.

"Hey, we get bigger salaries? Better benefits? Fuck it, I'm in," Amen shrugged, seeming without a seconds hesitation, though in his mind a flurry of thoughts flew by. This gig would be useful, but dangerous. A descriptor Amen had grown accustomed too, working here.

Amen glanced over at new arrival. Neo-Nairobian, maybe? Don't see a lot of them in Neo-Seoul outside immigration heavy sectors. "Really pullin' 'em from all over the place, ain't you Dikshil?" He asked.

"That would be me, dear," The dark woman called. "Meet Camilla Janye, she's done contract work for the N.S.P.A. before. She has a history with apprehending criminals." She explained and Camilla gave a cutsy finger wave at the lot as a man who Camilla barely noticed moved, handing her a holopad for her to -according to the screen- sign. She hesistated. "And the job, if you choose to accept it, would be to work in a new department of the N.S.P.A. One designed to solve the crimes our other systems cannot." The Darker woman explained and Camilla's brow shot up. "I brought you all here to offer you a position in D.U.S.K."

With that, Camilla signed.

She handed the man back the pad and found herself a seat on the table by the woman who seemed to actively ignore her as she inquired about work balance.
"So we would move to D.U.S.K permanently?" She asked. "Not still working in our own departments alongside? I'm not sure if I can balance the work load, if that's the case."
"No, whatever positions you previously had, as well as your salaries and benefits, would be wiped and replaced with those more fitting to your new ranks," The Darker Woman replied smiling some twisted verison of a smile. She didn't smile often did she?
"You'd be the only officers of an all new police department. That's a full time job if I've ever heard of one."
Really pullin' 'em in from all over, ain't you, Dishiki"
"Well, I'm in," Camilla interjected ignoring the darker man's comments. She wasn't exactly common around these parts. "Though, I'm curious, I thought D.U.S.K was blown into NextLife, What's to stop that from happening to the rest of us?" She asked folding her arms. She reallt couldn't afford to die. She had people to take care of, well, one little person. "I like my parts were they are,"

"I intend to make D.U.S.K. work, Officer De Silva. For it to work where it previously failed," Dikshil responded, a glint in her eyes. "You were all chosen for a reason. Any who join you in future will join you for a reason."

Dikshil then turned to Camilla, who voiced her concerns. "D.U.S.K. perished from their own actions, by their own blade. Not mine." She responded. "Don't break the system, Camilla."

"D.U.S.K. perished from their own actions, by their own blade. Not mine." She repiled and then sent her a glare. "Don't break the system, Camilla." She reprimanded and Cammie grinned sheepishly and removed herself from the table to a chair. "So, Fair enough, they screwed themselves but did you catch the people that blew them to hell?" She asked. "I mean, Criminals tend to hold grudges, I would know, I hunt them for a living." She said leaning agaisnt the table top with an elbow, her head resting in her hand. "I mean, I'd like to know, D.U.S.K clearly had enemies."

James had been quite for the majority of the meeting. He remembered the Wolfman case, though he didn't work on it directly. He didn't need much motivation or reason though, he had enough motivation, this was just another request from Neo-Seoul of him.

Questions were asked and, for the most part, answered. The last arrival walked in late, but she did it with confidence at least, and more questions were asked. James cast a knowing look toward Laszlo when Camilla noted criminals holding grudges. He hadn't replied to Amen's comment, but he couldn't help but recall it. It was hard to hold grudges after G.H.S.T. visited.

"As I said," Dikshil responded. "D.U.S.K.'s demise, tragic as it may have been, was their own doing. You are officers of the N.S.P.A. Captain Laszlo is here to both watch and protect you."

Laszlo gave a slow smile to the ground as he leaned back in his chair. "The D.U.S.K. members died once they... broke away from us, and started interfering with forces we could not control." Dikshil glared at Camilla and Jong. "You two are not in the N.S.P.A., but if you accept you will be... things inside are different than they are on the streets."

"Heh," Jong murmured, glancing over the contract. "I know..."

"And I assume you have a first case in mind, Commissioner?" Su-min gave her a small, knowing smile. Dikshil wouldn't have just reformed D.U.S.K without there being a reason.

Dikshil stared down at Park. "Yes, we have a case for you." She looked up at the group, the assembled men and women of the law sitting across the desolate boardroom, the cold white December sun shining in on them. Half their faces were illuminated by the bright of the window. "But first, I have something to say. This is the new Department of Unusual & Specialized Knowledge. There are only a handful of you, but trust that all of you have been chosen for a reason."

Dikshil swallowed, her palms touching the table as she stood at it's end. "Your budget will be minuscule, your equipment loaned from the other departments. I do not yet know if you are valuable... but if agree, and you prove to be." Dikshil bit her lip and nodded slowly. "We'll see where this goes."

Jong leaned back in his chair with folded arms, scanning the room. This did not feel like a celebration. Not yet. Not even close. This felt like a test.

"So," Dikshil spoke. "Are you in?"

Jong frowned. "Commissioner, with all do respect, I got out of being a cop a long time ago... why would I want back in?"

"Imagine the worst of this city, Meon Jong. Imagine the worst you've seen. The darkest corners, the blackest depths, the truths you know but cannot bear to imagine," Dikshil began, her voice growing low. "If you are in the world you wish to live, if you have the life you wish to have, go back to it." Dikshil stepped away from the table. "But if not... I offer you a chance... to change everything."

There was something frightening about Dikshil's words, something unsettling. In Neo-Seoul companies offered you the world, individualistic change, but it was all bullshit. One person couldn't change anything, and everyone knew it. And that's what sent a shiver down Jong's spine. Dikshil seemed to mean it.

"So do I!" Laszlo added, reminding everyone he existed.

Jong let out a long sigh. "Okay... you have my attention."

CASE 01: THE WOLFMAN OF GURI

"There's been a murder," Dikshil continued. "Downtown. Over a month ago. What we believed to be a copycat of Neuk Dae, the wolfman of Guri. Eaten alive. Only one witness. No camera footage." Dikshil folded her arms. "Of course Neuk Dae has been in prison for ten years. A trio of S.I.L.O. agents, including Agent Saito here," The woman indicated to the Japanese man she'd entered with. "They found a culprit and made an arrest in record time. Two weeks later we have another death, this time in Guri. No witnesses. No footage." Dikshil swallowed. "Last night we had a third. No witnesses, shots registered but to a person that doesn't exist."

Dikshil glared over the group. "I need you all on this as soon as you can. You have twenty three hours to accept my offer. If you do I expect you all here first thing in the morning, ready to hunt down this copycat. In work appropriate attire." The last line was added with a sharp glance at Camilla. "You will all be Inspectors with the D.U.S.K. And James," Dikshil looked up at Kyo. "I would offer you the position of department head. Chief Inspector."

Laszlo suddenly shot to attention. "James Kyo? Chief inspector?"

"Captain Kardos, you will still watch and assist with the full power of G.H.S.T. behind you," Dikshil dismissed the blonde man quickly. Jong looked across the table, at the Japanese SILO. Agent Saito, he'd been called. This was a demotion for him. SILO were the top branch of the N.S.P.A. and he wasn't even going to head it.

Suddenly a smooth chime came from Dikshil, a small holograph appearing on her arm. "I'm afraid another department calls, inspectors. Leave when you want."

Dikshil grabbed her pad and walked toward the exit of the room. "Remember," She said as she left. "You have twenty three hours to accept." And with that the Commissioner left, the noise of the lounge flooding in as the glass door swung open, her coat tails following her as she marched.

"And remember," Laszlo added, catching the door as it swung shut. "I'll be watching." He gave them all a smile before sliding a doorstopper on the glass and exiting. The silence was broken. The daylight outside had faded, the bright city lights flooding in from the early sunset. They were back in the noise of the fortieth floor, their exit clear.

Meon Jong swallowed before glaring at Saito. "Who the fuck did you piss off to get here?" He began, laughter from the lounge bar seeping into the office at his words.

"Yeah, uh...you got kicked down from SILO, bruh?" Amen asked, bemused. "Or did you quit? I heard there aren't a lot of foreigners in SILO so y'know," he shrugged. "Well that's what people say anyway..."

Amen looked back briefly at each member of the group assembled before him. He'd already accepted on this job, because of what would benefit him and hadn't quite thought of how this outfit would run itself. Former GHST captain now heading the DUSK squad. If that didn't rub anyone the wrong way, there was something seriously wrong. He wouldn't raise any objections now....Kyo was in charge after all. Might as well see how he leads first before jumping to conclusions.

"You in, kid?" Jong suddenly asked, looking at Amen from across the table. "You signing up for this thing?"

Kid. For real?

"Fuck yeah, I'm in," Amen nodded quickly. "You know how much you get paid on patrol?" He asked incredulously. "I'd take a job in GHST if it paid better than that shit..." he stated, turning to look towards James Kyo. "No offense, Chief Inspector..." he stated with a tone so perfectly respectful that it could be nothing but disingenuous.

Jong sighed. "I'm making okay money... maybe too much to throw it all away..." The man paused. There was something in the Commissioner's words. About changing the world they lived in. There was something in them that mattered.

Outside the window a holographic whale swam, a url beneath it, the bright neon blue light shining into the room. "But this case," Jong lied. "It might be too big to pass up."

Su min stood, tucking her holopad in her bag and slinging the black satchel over her shoulder, "Well then, I'll see you all tomorrow," she said, making to leave, "Perhaps."

James bowed his head slightly when Dikshil offered him the department head position. It was unexpected, with a SILO agent on the team, and Laszlo, but he supposed it made some sense. He didn't know much about the people in the room, but he felt safe to assume he had the most relevant experience leading a group of people. This group of people, however, was going to be vastly different than he was accustomed to leading. A G.H.S.T. team worked more like a machine than a team of people, and this was group of people who didn't seem to work great as a team.

"It does. Quite a bit." James replied matter of factly, adding "You would not have been accepted for transfer." Someone like Amen, Camilla, even to some extent Jong, they simply didn't exist in G.H.S.T., the system was designed that way.

"Fortunately, this isn't G.H.S.T." he stood, "Tomorrow then."

Just another request from Neo-Seoul.
