Summary

Ares proto-transhuman used as a testbed for meta-human cyberlimb compatibility – due to treatment as a biological machine, very little social capacity. Task orientated, follows a basic set of procedures on a Job – does not understand ethical quandaries.

Goals

Main:

• Buy "Normal" limbs to decrease abnormalities when not associated with tasks.
• Obtain a Cyberspace Dragonfly to keep it company.
  

Side:

• Seeks to pacify its curiosity and gain an understanding of the world it now lives in, is very much a tourist in the shadows.
• Improve cyber-augmentation - (increase rating of limbs to allow better body-mind connection). (0/4 Limbs to Alpha)
• Find a group of people that it is compatible to work with. (Optimized)

Afterthoughts:

• Get a larger (mobile) base of operation.
• Find the original mole that planned the escape.

• Rediscover the Ares research facility.

Achieved:

• 
  

Background

White walls, a strip of red, and a strip of green. Subject 124-028 was never treated as a meta-human, because its intention was never to be a meta-human. It was a biological entity that shared all the aspects of a human, though when no one knows you exist, you don't exist. Social interaction was minimal, “Pain at the arms?” “Feel the legs” “Anything itch?” - no one had time for another vat-born. They were busy and understaffed. Learning was offered for basic association to decreases resources spent for interpreting the data, and minimal entertainment was offered so "fun" would be associated only to work orientated tasks.

The awakening occurred around during exposure to a mana-warp, and while completely a coincidence, the idea there could be a link was enticing enough to extend possible research parameters, this came alongside its SURGE - while physically the only notable alteration was a blue skin tone, on the astral they represented the terror of others more emotional in the program, new senses were violently altering its perception of the world - and it became the second most important subject of research due to advanced and yet unexplained anomalies.

At the age of 18, the subject lowered in priority due to dead ends in research, and the Ares facility decided it was time to transport the subject for alternative testing procedures. This occurred for a large portion of the vat-borns, either being repurposed for new experiments, or being recycled to try to get back some investment if unable to be used for other purposes. During this movement, the transport convoy was attacked - it was on a mountain pass and the mid-truck was thrown into the deep snow. A severe firefight started above, while the unknown group engaged in both offensive tactics, and "asset" recovery. After waking, the first thing they experienced for their new life was bullet fire, intense heat followed by intense cold - a smoky room from the leaking battery acids, and a figure throwing in a assortment of automatic weapons for the still conscious protohumans to use against their capturers. Like any other experiment, he linked the opening of a door to be the current leader, and with diligence assisted in the extermination of an assumed practice scenario.

After a trek through the snow, they arrived at their transportation - each going a different way to be dispersed around the UCAS/CAS to find the best work each could associate with.

Frostbites initial contact was Haruki Uchida, however after their assumed death due to a overzealous trap to re-secure them for Ares, he has since been "Adopted" by Shi Hakase to assist in ongoing research matters in awakened-transhumans, aiming to see if there are any possible correlations. The attack has left it severely damaged, with its left arm being rendered as useful as a early 2000's prosthetic.

Life in the Shadows

Months 1 - 2

Months 2 - 4

Narrative Significant Qualities

Perceptive

• Biosonar, Thermal Sensitivity
• [Explanation] Possession of abnormal organ, perceptive ability has increased.

Man & Machine

• Adept, Biocompatibility (Cyberware), Cyber-Singularity Seeker, Metagenic Improvement (Agility)
• [Explanation] Probability dictated that some may awaken, and I happened to be a part of that percentile. Though I was also given cybernetic limbs, and awakened to the power of machine. I now stand the precipice of losing my awakened abilities, though also understanding that for me to improve, I must continue down this route of cyber-enhancements. I am to improve myself, and find ways to garner limbs that give me back the sensations I have lost, as well as find a way to continue unlocking the limits of my body.

Not a people Person

• Antipathy, Impassive, Impaired Attribute (Charisma)
• [Explanation] Even by prefixing the goal onto my sentences, it appears my ability to commence in pleasantries always appears as hostilities. Being "sinisterly" monotone does not suit friendly communications. [Disappointment] I wish there could be an individual whom understood my intentions.

Bad Aura

• Nasty Vibe (2), Critter Spook, Astral Hazing
• [Explanation] It appears even my presence disrupts the flow of positivity, animals detest me - and I have been told by those with the ability to assense that I carry "negative energy", complicating the usage of magic.

Creature of the Night

• Changeling (Class III SURGE), Striking Skin Pigmentation, Nocturnal, Insomnia (Basic)
• [Explanation] I am not sure why, though daytime is a plague to me - I am restless, mentally I become duller, and my skin tone becomes more pronounced in the orange light. In night I can hide in the shadows and blend in with the moon, though at day I am an oddity that people actively revolt at my 'deformity'. [Frustration] If only I could walk among the populace without drawing attention to myself - though that is going to be a task if I am to ever complete it.

Note:

• Despite being an escaped experiment, at least to his current knowledge - there are no public warrants for his capture due to the - illegality - of the tests - Ares may have organized bounties with private groups on the subjects heads, though at time of writing, he has no knowledge if that is the case.

In Character Information

Likes

• Order & Logic
  • [Explanation] The world while ordered and a continuation of a stream of events, particles falling into a domino effect that makes us perceive free will - can seem like chaos. It is only perceivable as chaos due to the lack of proper information, I lack that information and therefore have a distaste for the natural, and enjoy it when a decision is based on cold, bias-less facts, untainted by an outside influence.
• Contractual Safety
  • [Explanation] While I have been noted to break trust, it is only if my assignment required it - though I always do my best to complete a contracted agreement, and prefer others to abide by the same restrictions.
• Drones/AI
  • [Explanation] Similar to me, they are usually bound to a set of parameters that can be viewed or encoded - They seem unaffected by my natural characteristics, and therefore I feel I can actually enjoy within their company; without fear of betrayal or deceit.
• Plans
  • [Explanation] While a plan ceases rigid effects after engagement, it enables everyone to be in the proper locations - allowing things to be ordered, and less based on chance

Dislikes

• Drugs
  • [Explanation] While they can provide a boost to ability, I prefer consistent ability over the highs - and given the potential for addiction, I would rather continue pushing my physical limits in a permanent capacity, than rely on a momentary boost - I am not adverse to using them if the situation requires it, I just would rather not use it in general.
• Chance/Luck
  • [Explanation] While probability has gave me gifts, it is not a consistent factor of my life - And due to the fact I can't control it, or even research it to create usable data - I am therefore adverse to it and it's pleasures. While many situations can become luck based, I prefer taking out the chance when applicable.

Assensing Results

Hits	Information Gained
0	You scored 0 Hits. Subject has a severe astral taint. It growls like a dying wolf that wants to get one more kill before subsiding.
1	Subject is of average health. Emotions are mute, though there does seem to be inner conflict of some kind. Character is awakened. Deeper looks into the taint show a severe hatred that cannibalizes itself. Anger and terror interweaving in a raging storm.
2	Standard-grade cyberware: All limb, both eyes and both ears have been replaced, there is a datajack on the back of their head - and their mind has been supplanted with a Flashback System. Looking through the taint there is a humanoid figure with the teeth of a shark and eyes of a cat grinning wildly.
3	No alphaware-grade cyberware. The subjects essence is minimally viable for magic, though it's strained, a waning that could disappear with minimal effort. They are awakened, though barely. It subsides partially to a agonizing look, the grin lowers - almost looking like it wants to crack.
4	No betaware-grade cyberware. Essence 1.02, Magic 1. Pain, terror, emanating from the subconscious of its mind, unheard, and screaming out.
5+	No deltaware-grade implants. Not a technomancer. Mute and subsided, it's an ugly apathy that persists beyond all of this.

Matrix Persona

Ninja (Stock)

Appearance

Nude/Base form

Body is a icy blue, limbs while the generic shape of muscles are blocky and matt black - the legs have been altered to be that of a cats hind - and joints ready to be removed for more fitting disguise. Eyes have a red iris with black sclera's.

Clothing

Combat Gear: Armored trench coat with a pure white, almost ceramic looking mask. A blank expression with 3 eyes. The armor is clear, plates can easily be observed on the body - and subtly is forgotten.

Personnel ware: Leather trench coat, a balaclava with a respirator attached and a light armored vest. Weapons are on show, thought it blends into the scenery if it weren't for his odd stature, interesting legs, and general demonic presence.
