Introduction
It is the year 2060. As cybernetic modification become more of an enhancement to human bodies than the replacement for limbs, the government has applied it to agents to get rid of pesky citizens who open their mouth too wide. The government has become rather oppressive and is corrupt. As many activists either disappear or are found dead, the anger amongst the citizens is rising. Recently a group has emerged to fight the evil and rather inhuman agents. They have already gained attention by attacking the town hall of Jiroshi city causing the death of three city officials. The group calls themselves the Jiroshi Liberation Front aka JLF. Now a fight begins for the safety and the rights of the citizens.
Types of people:
Humans: They are normal humans. Most of them are citizens while the fewest are officials and policemen.
Cyborgs: A select few citizens are cyborgs. Most of them are in service sectors with their enhancements to ease their work. Many cyborgs are agents or work for the government in any other way.
- Corrupt agents: Corrupt agents work closely with the government and love to kill normal citizens. They only believe in their own wealth and power.
- Good agents: Good agents know the difference between right and wrong. They only deal with criminals, even if they are other agents. They believe in the safety of the innocent.
- Cleaners: Cleaners are cybernetically and genetically enhanced people who clean up areas where collateral damage had been used. They consume the metal parts in the area often to either get rid of scrap metal, for self-repair or to upgrade themselves. They are rendered nearly harmless by the government even though they have inhuman strength and are about to consume other cyborgs (a mere underestimation on the side of the government.
Guardians: Guardians are found on almost all sides, pursuing their own goals to the benefit of citizens. Most good agents are guardians while there arent any corrupt agents who are guardians. Rumors say that guardians want to control the nation.

"Why kill Saki? Just because she knows that I am a cleaner or that you want to get rid of the park. I think there is a flaw in your wiring since it neither is logic nor rational. If you were intelligent you would be minding your own business or you would have at least found out that the Anto-building is vacant and in bad shape and that where it is standing is a much better suited place to build an apartment complex than a park. Saki is not going to die on my watch though, even if she stays with me." Miranda said. "You just think you are smart but I know you arent." Miranda grinned.

Demetrius
”I see and understand, I will take my leave then.” Demetrius wasn’t satisfied but he was still alive and the job was as good as done. The biological part of his mind wanted to kill Saki just to show that he was intelligent but this would only lead to him getting squashed by Miranda. He just stepped into a now unoccupied police car and began to drive away, the computer send the code to the trap to ensure Demetrius had done his task even if Miranda still breathed. Inside of the park on the side of a tree a metal box’s began its job. The box’s created a fire that spread trough the thick park’s tree’s, after the fire had done it’s job a fire truck would arrive to stop the fire from spreading if this occurred but without any trees the ground was useless and this greatly increased the change of the construction continuing.
OOC: Please stop criticizing me.

Miranda called a friend as the fire broke out. "We need a good deal of trees for a park. Some asshole agent set the park on fire." Miranda said. When the fire was out a load of vehicles came to clean up and plant new trees. Miranda gave her friend, a gardener with a big company, a big lump of pure gold as payment. In addition, he left twenty security guards from his other company there. They were veterans with whom agents would have problems with. They weren't on the side of the law if the law endangered a client with a heart. "If that guy tries this again I will cause a full scale riot earlier than I had planned." Miranda said.
(OOC: Why? To be honest. I dont like roleplaying with you because you make your character so uber and you make roleplaying extremely hard and frustrating. I only did had all the people come as a countermeasure. I would rather play a neutral character and the bad guys are supposed to lose. Otherwise I would have called it Villains always wine and said that everyone is an anti-hero. *sigh*)

Mark was looking at the kid as he was calling the women out as a liar. Just standing back letting things happen, he called out his machine dog breaking it's way through. He turned to it with his eyes wide opening speachless. "that thing..." he thought to him self. "It could kill us if it wanted to!" He looked back to the boy as the boulder flew across the sky hiting the capital building. Mark was slightly freaking out from what's happening around him as his phone starts to ring. He picks it up saying "What the hell is going on?!" He puts his phone down and says to the girl and the boy "Don't worry, there was a fight at the park having something with a cleaner and an agent in it. But seems like it's over now. He sighs and says "You' seem like a smart kid, but everyone needs help. Let me take care of you and your....Dog. He smiles at him hoping the kid would say yes. Trying to get a robot like that on his side could be very good for him.

Miranda had finally contacted the company that wanted to build their and arranged a meeting in the park. "So Miss. You say you will buy the park from us and tell us of an alternative?" The man said. Miranda then answered: "Sure. The alternative would be where the Anto-building is. It is old, vacant, in need of repair and the lot is cheap. By the way it is situated downtown not far from recreational facilities, a supermarket and the financial district." With a mechanical whizz her mouth opened widely and a block of platinum came out. With the same mechanical whizz, her mouth closed again. "This is my offer. 45 kgs worth of pure platinum. That is 750 million yen. From what I have heard this is almost twice the amount you have paid for the park." Miranda said. After a short discussion between the men, they had agreed but under one circumstance. Miranda had to tear the building down herself to save the company costs. Miranda saw it as an opportunity to salvage metal from the building. It would probably be about 2000 tons of steel and a couple tons of other metals such as copper.
Leaving the park under supervisor of the paid security guards, Miranda then left back towards the cafe with Saki to noticed that there was some chaos because of a kid and a mechanical dog. "What a cute dog. Who's a big boy? Huh. Yes, you are a big boy." Miranda said to the mechanical dog somehow knowing it was like her in a way. She pet it as if it was a normal dog. Even if the dog tried to bite her it would be metal versus metal with little or no effect. "So what's up?" Miranda said to the people around her.

Tetsu-inu, when approached by the woman, first gave a low growl, but allowed the woman to pet him. Eventually, the lumbering beast warmed up to the cyborg a little, relaxing a bit. His rear even swung a little, wagging without a tail.
Bento-bako, however, was dealing with the man who was no better than the woman. By the way the man dressed, and the gleam in his eye toward Tetsu-inu, Bento-bako presumed he was in affiliation with the government. And that meant the Orphanage. "You won't catch me dead in your Orphanage!" He stormed outside, shouting back before letting the door slam: "I took care of myself for nine years; I can take care of myself now!"
With that he walked to his dog, petting him alongside the woman, who appreciated the beast for what it really was--a dog. A dog, simply stuck within a mechanical body. But a dog nonetheless. "He's cool, isn't he?" He smiled in pride at his creation. "I built the body all by myself." The dog gave a small mechanical whine, to which Bento-bako laughed. "God made the doggie inside."
A sudden beep went off in Bento-bako's pocket. He pulled out a strange-looking device, not unlike a GameboyColor with coils of wire and extrasensory computer chips scrapped together. He looked at it for a moment, then the woman; the device, the woman; the device, the woman. He finally approached her, putting a part of the device near her giving yet another beep. He smiled to the woman.
"Cooooooool." He gave her a small poke. "I've never met a human cyborg like you before..."

As the young boy saw Miranda, he explained that he built the mechanical dog. Then after looking at a device, he found it awesome that Miranda was a cyborg or rather a cleaner. "Well, it was rather that I became this after the government took me in. But then I rebelled and now they are mad. I overheard that they are trying to take you in. Come with me. I can provide you shelter, clothing and food while protecting you from them. I even have room for your buddy here as long as he doesn't leave oil stains around the apartment." Miranda said and smiled. She then went over to the man who was probably an agent. "I would recommend you to leave the boy alone as he doesn't want to go with you. It is his decision, even if he is a young boy. It is better not to trust a government swine like you. And if you think you are different, it would be best for you to leave your job and side with me. If nothing changes then I think I will have to take over and change things myself!" Miranda said to him.

The boy erupted in anger, Maewynn instantly felt awful. she hadn't thought it through entirely, never thinking that the boy would react this way. Tears came to ther eyes, before she could react an enourmous crash sounded outside. She moved to the door and peered out. She soon found herself in the street watching helplessly as dozens of civilians and student protestors fled from the forest a few blocks away.

Mark looked at the women and said to her with a slight timid voice "Well...If you want to be counted as the boys legal guardian I can get the paper work and everything. He pauses for a moment looking back to the boy and back to the women going on with [b"]You did say you can shelter him, right? So just give me a few minutes at the office and I can get everything filled out."[/b] This women did say she's a cleaner as well, and a rebellion one at that. Mark isn't much of a fighter, but if he acts like the cowerd, she might spare him.

"Hey!" Bento-bako shouted as the government man blabbed on about making her his guardian. Which, to him, meant something just as bad as an Orphanage. A foster home. A temporary home. Bleh. He'd have none of it. "I never said I WANTED to go with her!" Realizing what he said would be taken as rude, he gave a sheepish bow to the woman cyborg. "I mean, uh, thank you for offering...but no." He straightened back up, a look of resolve on his face. "I can take care of myself...I mean, I gotta shelter, and I can provide my own food and clothes!" And he was right, he could; however, he conveniently left the part out about living in the long run-down Anto-building and that his food and clothing came at a five dollar discount most of the time.
Looking to the people running from the capital, he asked aloud, "What's going on?"

"Well, sorry to hear that you do not want to come with me. I could take care of you until you are an adult. I make plenty of money from metal scrap and tearing down run down buildings. Speaking of which, I saved a park and in exchange I paid a sum and have to tear down a large run down building downtown tomorrow. That is 2000 tons of steel." Miranda said. If someone talked about a large run-down building downtown then there was a 50% chance that it could be the Anto-building since there werent many run-down buildings downtown and even less that were large.

Mark looked at the women thinking to him self "I can't force the kid to go to an orohanage or else I'll have to deal with this cleaner...And she could kill me if she wanted to. Dying for something as small as this isn't worth it. He sighs saying "Well if the boy can take care of him self, I see no reason to give him a nice warm bed and home. He lauhgs a little walking to the boy looking down on him, going on with "Just kidding, I won't force you to do something you don't want to. You're a smart kid, so I hope one day you'll see pride can bring you down. No shame in asking for help when you need it. He smiles and heads to the front door. He passes the other agent and says to her Have a wonderful day." Just opening the door and walking outside the cafe heading back to his office.

Re: The Agents
Just a heads up, heading into finals for senior year in highschool. So my activity may drop. And because I can't spend alot of time making post, my quality of post will drop from mediocre to...slightly more mediocre.
Re: The Agents
sigh. Sorry man. But until now it is stressful with the way you roleplay. The only time it actually worked out was on the Oblivion rp but too bad that one died so soon. I do not know how it is for the others or if they have experienced Thorait in a different way. I am sorry, but you and me, we just arent good roleplaying together.
Re: The Agents
I will follow the wishes of the GM and seeing my character is currently not involved with anybody and that continuing this constant arguing would be bad for the role play and it's frustrating for every body involved.
Sorry if you think of my behavior as bad and I hope to never forget this moment so this situation won't occur again Aniihya. I will take my leave if nobody rejects

Re: The Agents
I can see where you're coming from but I didn't see as auto hitting when I did it so accept my apologies. I did this because I don't like to make a 50 words post and then wait and wait for a response this just seemed quicker to me but I was a bit wrong this time.
Newkid: I understand what you mean I was very irritated when I wrote that, there's no form of tone in writing and this can be confusing.

Re: The Agents
"Demetrius moved in a flash stabbing the joint of the upper right arm with the force of his landing..."
That is autohitting and therefore godmodding. If you stabbed an npc, it would be a different story. But stabbing another player without giving them a post to react or accept an injury is autohitting which is power-playing which is a lower form of godmodding. Do you understand?
And you probably mean "object" and not "reject".

Re: The Agents
Thoriat: I'm not getting involved, I'm simply telling you that your message is confusing due to syntax and tone. I can't understand exactly what you're trying to say, and if I can't, I'm sure that Aniihya can't either. I simply wanted to allow to know this fact, as a writer to a writer, so that you may improve the post so that unwanted additional friction does not occur.
Shadow lynx: Although I do think the issue between Thoriat and Aniihya may need to be sorted out first, I agree. I like to let things flow, hence why all my posts are pretty open-ended, ready to be tagged on to by others. And being considerate never hurt anything.

Re: The Agents
Woah, woah, woah. Why all the hate, we are all here for fun.
We can all help to avoid drama and friction by simply being considerate of the other authors in our story. You are responsible for your actions, try not to force the story in any direction... let it just happen on its own, and write posts that help aid the progression of the story not just place your character in the lime-light.
Just my thoughts. :)

Might I reject to the accusal of god modding, auto hitting, power playing
The fact that something as big as I think the cleaner form wouldn't be able to stop at the rate 100 km/h in almost any circumstance and the fact it would crash into a building is sensible seeing the park is surrounded by a city, I did over do the reflex part. I haven't spotted a power playing action maybe I misunderstood:
With the repulse engine she was about to pursuit vehicles up to a speed of 100 km/h.
For going 100km/h and in this case it's my mistake and I would like to apologize for this but it wasn't my intention. I did act a little poorly but I reject the accusation of god modding my reaction was mostly based on facts and based on this information I would also like to point to the fact that you your self have reacted just as poorly by grounding the bulldozers and murdering four 'agents' as you called them granting your self a victory if this is allowed my equally unorthodox reaction aren't wrong. I'm not at all angry I'm not a person with a short fuse neither do I have a lot of pride, I just remembered you're status and as such I recommend to murder Demetrius to avoid this discussion.
