Jinn:

Age: 24
Nationality: Middle-Eastern
Affiliation: Syntech
Eyes: Yellow
Hair: Pale and Black
Personality: Serious, Logical, Tactical, Empathetic
Weapons: Jinn's Dagger, Dõkan

Bio: Jinn's story begins in one of the many self-sustaining villages before Syntech expanded to the Middle East after taking over a majority of Europe, Asia, and North America. At 8-years old, he lived with his parents and little brother, trying to survive peacefully in their small community. One night his hard, yet, peaceful lifestyle came to an abrupt end. He was awoken in the dead of night by his parents and told to run.

Jinn didn't look back, holding his brother's hand when an explosion slammed behind him. Jinn flew, smacking into a rock face. He attempted to focus and saw his brother lying on the ground, missing a leg and part of his torso. Jinn tried to comfort his brother, praying that it would be all right. His brother looked at him and exhaled his very last breath. Jinn's eyes widened, and he started to scream.

A group of men came out of the darkness as Jinn held his brother. One of the men gestured towards Jinn and started walking towards him. Jinn snapped. He saw the knife that belonged to his father, grabbed it, and charged at the man. One of the soldiers pulled out a handgun and shot Jinn in the shoulder. Delirious from the pain, Jinn passed out.

Jinn was taken back to Sanctuary, Syntech's headquarters in western Europe of what was formerly known as Norway. He was now free from the constant tornadoes, earthquakes, and volcanic activity. It is here that Jinn was re-educated and experimented on. He has been modified to slowly take Injections and is one of the only humans to survive the metamorphosis into a special task force called D.E.I.T.Y. He was told Syntech fought off the rebels that killed his parents and were aiming to build humanity back to its former glory.

Jinn is a quiet, yet, empathetic person who is aware of the tragedies that surround him. His loyalty to Syntech is strong, but he won't hesitate to extend a hand when he feels it necessary. He views his missions as a job and nothing more. When it comes to his work, Jinn is cold and efficient. It is only of late that he has begun to see the cracks forming in his views of Syntech.

Bio: Shan Li was picked up by Syntech as a baby during the battle of Shanghai. Chinese revolutionaries rose to power far before Syntech's influence could take hold. The Chinese colony had access to many ancient technological resources and operational industrial facilities that were necessary for the corporation's growth. Negotiations between the two factions faltered and a war broke out. Syntech, with its division of special super powered agents, massacred the revolutionaries and began taking thousands of young children as young as infants to be tested and put into the D.E.I.T.Y. program. Shan Li was one of these infants. Most injected with the special gene required to use the injections don't survive the gene therapy, yet she was one of the lucky ones.

Shan Li grew up with Syntech as her mentor and her family. She excelled in her training and became an agent much faster than her peers. She was ruthless in accomplishing her missions yet calm and calculated. Like all agents in the D.E.I.T.Y. division, she was required to create her own weapon, one of the most legendary created to date. The Pneumatic hammer dubbed ATLAS.

Shan Li was curious about her past and eventually went on to search for her origins. Her investigation over years led her to what she believed was a clan of her heritage. She eventually found this nomadic clan in Mongolia. Shan was given a special young boy named Jinn. She took Jinn to Sanctuary but not without becoming fascinated with the boy, even teaching him a few fighting techniques. Their bond made an impact on her, enough to convince her to try being a mentor to the new recruits.

Shan was assigned to be a mentor to Jinn, tasked with training him harshly in her ways until he was ready to be sent out into the field. She did so for a long while until she was assigned to a mission where she never returned.

Jinn is an example of Graham's work, being his best student to date.

Graham is a sensible man who thrives on keeping a cool head at all times and despite the sometimes questionable practices of Syntech believes there is no better option for humanity. In his eyes, the strength of the organization is required in order for humanity to push through these treacherous times and aim for a better tomorrow.

Through a militaristic governing system, the community prospered relatively due to their ability to utilize modern weaponry and tap resources with old world tech. The Bunker colony named 'Krepost' or The Fortress was a harsh warrior ruled colony that always put natural strength and talent above all else like the ancient Spartans.

K'sana had grown up being trained and working for Vladimir Bosk. She loves and idolizes him for his strength as per her culture growing up. K'sana's life has been one of a hardened soldier, learning to adapt and persevere to all situations as the change. One day Syntech attacked the colony. They fought the corporation for weeks but finally their leader surrendered, who was then executed by Vulcan and K'sana's regiment as it was a sign of weakness. Ainu (CEO of Syntech) was amazed by how long these soldiers fought and offered them to be a part of something greater than simply survival in this dreary world. He offered strength to the valiant soldiers and they graciously accepted. They now control the largest prison factory in all of the Syntech territories. K'sana and Vulcan volunteered to be a part of the DEITY program and against all odds survived the gene editing process.

K'sana is highly intelligent with various skillsets. She is cold and ruthless due to her upbringing and utilizes her powers to best serve the organization. She is cold and rational except around Vulcan. For distances, she uses a revolver rifle that has interchangeable ammunition and weapon parts like a scope if necessary.

The prison is claimed through propaganda to produce civilian technology when it actually creates nothing more than weaponry for Syntech forces. The facility he manages takes all those who oppose/threaten the organization from murders to Neo-Human Coalition fighters to pesky activists and reporters.

Vladimir hates when people use his name, so he tells them to call him Sgt. Vulcan or Sarge as a sign of respect for his authority. Vulcan is the one who found Jinn and immediately noticed he was no normal child. He took Jinn and sent him off with Shan Li, his former teacher.

He is prized by the board of directors for his unparalleled assassination skills. Unusually, he has an interest in Aiyah.

Puppeteer's existence is little known to the populace. Strenger is an Injection manufactured and utilized solely by Puppeteer. His jet-black attire and glowing eyes have made him a living nightmare for those lucky enough to witness him and survive. He is extremely agile, with reflexes equivalent to D.E.I.T.Y.s under the influence of Øke. He is never seen without his gas mask, which protects him from his own weaponry. Use of the injections over the years and the initial gene therapy has left his face looking decayed and diseased.

Hair: Black
Height: 6'0
Personality: Stern, Narrow-Minded, Dedicated, A Glint of Kindness

Bio: From birth, Nabila was raised and trained solely to fight back against Syntech. Because of this upbringing, she only sees Syntech as a threat to be dealt with. She lacks the perspective Viktor has, having been on both sides of the conflict. She is always quick to decry Syntech, and due to this, has been placed as second in command of the Neo-Human Coalition.

Nabila is a brilliant strategize and formulates most of the plans against Syntech. She even masterminded the plot to bring Jinn to their side and to fight with them. Unfortunately, she fast-forwarded through most of her childhood, forcing her to act even more adult and conservative than is expected of her.

Personality: Opportunistic, Traditional, Territorial, Proud (Bordering on egotistical)
Weapons: Luca's Pistole

Bio: Originally lived in Russia working the sex trade to look after his family. Once he transitioned, he started to receive fewer clients, and those that remained became abusive. He soon decided to leave this work behind and travel with his family, similar to their nomadic heritage.

During one of their explorations, they found a valuable, old piece of tech. They brought it to the nearest Syntech outpost and were greatly rewarded. With that first success, Luca decided to make this his new lifestyle. Soon he brought in more Romani who had been expelled from their homes. They continued traveling and scavenging all they could, calling themselves the "Gun Running Gypsies".

Luca has embraced his position as leader of the GRG. In this position, he fights for their independence from any faction. He's very traditional in the sense that he still holds grudges against the cities that betrayed his people in the past. While he will make deals with the cities in order to survive, he refuses to let non-Romani join him and his team as they travel the Middle East and the surrounding areas.

The problems he faced with his past employment have turned him away from any form of sexual activity. He grew to see it as pointless and a waste of his precious time. This resulted in his husband falling distant from him, and eventually leaving the GRG.

Luca chooses not to undergo sex reassignment surgery. Instead, he wraps his breasts and wears tight, ruined jeans with a cup. His arms are covered in various tattoos, with a large tattoo of a butterfly above his breasts. His blue hair is never styled the same way twice. He can usually be found riding in his tank "The Ox" which he has decked out with blue, pink, and white stripes.

If any of its internal processes show signs of thinking contrary, they are quarantined by a "Warden" process.

Instead of paying for the man-hours to do all these jobs, Syntech attempted to redesign this AI to fill those roles. It acts as every assistant, agent coordinator, and any public facing job for Syntech. Intended to be a clean, approachable, friendly face for any citizen to talk to about Syntech and its programs.
