A huge meteor shower fell upon the earth one decade ago, covering the vast majority of America and creating what is known today as "The Aed." The Aed are people that were affected by the meteor storm, and were granted - or cursed with - superhuman abilities. Some Aed use their abilities for fun, others simply to survive, and others still who use their powers against other people - Aed or human.
The elements of the meteor are drawn to become one... all Aed are drawn together in the vicinity of New York City, NY, USA. Their gathering, although less obvious than written here, is noticed; some people are aware of their coming, and though they have different intentions, it does not bode well for our Aed.
The year is now 2034 and the day is June fourth. The weather has been predicted as mostly cloudy, and showers are expected later in the evening.

*Note that I only chose NYC because it seems to be a common location. "Everyone's been" or heard of.
*The shower hit America, but visitors to the states were also vulnerable. Locations close to the US may have also been hit, but it has been deducted that Alaska, Hawaii, and south Florida could not have been hit.

Some notable facts:
[>] The Agency is headed by Alexander Von Kleiss. He is just as active at the head of the company as any of its members. The location of its headquarters is well-known.
[>] The Aed Resistance works in a similar way to the Agency, but instead of capturing Aed, it informs and protects them. The Resistance gives Aed a shelter if they have none, and they gather together to destroy the Agency. Elaina and Adam Zekiel run and organize it. It's location is kept secret from those who are not found or chosen to know.

Ryu teh Ryu
Name: Malakai (Kai) Spiro
Age: 17
Abilities: Shapeshifting
Appearance: Morph!
Brief History: Kai came to NYC with his brother soon after the meteors fell. It seemed to be fate that carried them there after what terrors befell their family. Kai's brother had stolen him from their home in Ohio after their parents strongly encouraged that they leave, as their parents were researching the effects of the meteor shower - which didn't settle well with some people. It happened that only a few years afterward, Kai was separated from his brother, who had moved back home to Ohio. Even though home was relatively close, Kai found no way to escape NYC to follow his brother, and without any means of contact was presumed dead.
Fate found him in the hands of the Agency, who had detained him for weeks with minimal food, regular testing, and less-than-favorable living quarters. His escape was less than favorable... he was kept alive not only for experimentation, but for work. As he searched the streets for more Aed, he slowly gave up on life, and planned to suffer by starving himself to death. Luckily for him he was force fed back to health by an older woman, and she removed his tracking collar so that he could be free again. She didn't last long after that, and Kai has since dedicated himself to destroying the Agency by any means possible.
Personality: No longer lighthearted and innocent, Kai has a mature personality that precedes him. He has a hard time trusting people, having seen the truth of human nature and realizing that there are few who will genuinely sacrifice themselves for others without selfish reasons. On the inside he desires trust and affection, but he fears that people will be dishonest with him and therefore is really hard to please. If anyone is ever trustworthy or loving toward him and means it, he is a most loyal friend, and is warm to talk to unless he needs to be serious. He's focused primarily on destroying the Agency, and he stresses himself out by refusing extended downtime. However, if it weren't for an occasional break, he would probably risk a high chance of getting captured again.
Other: Kai can only shapeshift as long as his energy holds out, meaning, he can only perform the action with an appropriate amount of metabolized foodstuffs. He does not use up energy when in any form, so he can keep a form infinitely. He can also focus his shapeshifting to regions of his body instead of his whole, which follows the same limits as normal shifts. Depending on his shifted form, he uses up energy at different rates during the shift, but replenishes it by consuming food. It naturally falls that thievery and begging are his main means of survival due to his lack of money.

Name: "Ishiin" Carter Eriksson
Age: 22
Abilities: Absorbs and expends electrical current
Appearance: zzzZAP!
Brief History: A native of the Appalachian Mountains, Ishiin grew up in a quaint little town and was home schooled by his parents who were both university instructors. Needless to say, he was quite the educated little stinker - and by stinker, he wasn't a goody-goody nose-in-book boy. He ran away from home after the meteors hit, hoping that people would think that he got hit by one... but in any case, he fled to New York and immediately began wreaking havoc for more reasons than one. The city itself knows of him, but he avoids every means of media capture he can to limit their knowledge of his appearance so that he can work in broad daylight, without his armor. Once he had learned of his power, he constructed the armor suit to use as protection and intimidation, which he is most commonly recognized in. He is only ever referred to by his armor, and sometimes by his power as the people experience it. There are just too many variations to list.
Personality: Ishiin is a clever, sneaky, turmoil-causing man - or boy, in some perspectives - that just won't quit. He hates sitting still, but needs his rest; and for all the destruction that he does, he's also fond of building - construction, drama... relationships. He's not cold, but he spends a lot of time thinking, and is not interested in relationships with others unless it benefits him in some fashion. Those with similar goals as his own, or even those with goals that he would like to support are the only ones who will receive respect from him as an equal.
Other: Ishiin is very knowledgeable in the mechanical world. He built this armor body for himself that moves similar to a feline and is about the height of a compact car. It's implied that he powers it with his own energy, be it from his ability or actual physical movements. He is also cursed with a biomechanical right leg, the parts of which cover damage as far up as his waist. The other devices on his body are a hard-wired radio and a rigged transmitter device.

Name: Arcan Fierd
Age: 27
Abilities: Superhuman Senses
Appearance: [DECEPTION]
Brief History: Arcan keeps things simple - he hides the truth. He's a master of secrets and espionage, and has yet to be rivaled by anyone. His face is masked to hide his identity, and sometimes just to intimidate his foes. His job is to hunt, spy, and assassinate when hired. This life style was studied from the moment he could hold his own with a knife, and was made more challenging when he was affected by the meteor shower. The Agency found him only recently and hired him to hunt another Aed. His work has taken him to New York City, where it is evident all Aed are gathering.
Personality: Arcan makes emotional ties to nothing and no one, having learned that such things were unnecessary to deal death to the weak. This is not to say he has no moral value however; he would kindly lay down any enemy of a trustworthy man if it meant a challenge for himself. Intelligent he may be, but also quite simple, and sadly... easily manipulated, given the right circumstances. One would do well not to risk crossing him though, as his growing reputation speaks for itself.
Other: His super senses include everything; heightened hearing, sight, smell, touch. His sense of touch grants him quicker reflexes, whereas his sense of smell simply grants him grief. He may also have heightened taste buds, as no one has ever seen him eat or drink much save for completely natural, base foods and rice wine. Arcan is also quite flexible, able to hoist himself to high places in little time and with little effort. He attacks to kill.

Darkness Master9
Name:Elaina Zekiel
Age: 20
Abilities: Power over Ice.
Appearance: [Frosted]
Brief History: Elaina lived happily with her parents in Massachusetts until 4 months after her 14th birthday, when her mother died of cancer, her and her father moved to New York. Despite her father owning Zeke-E Corp, and him often being away on business, Elaina still lives a pretty normal life. After becoming an Aed, Elaina and her father Adam organized the Aed Resistance Movement, where they try to locate and hide Aed before being captured. They are currently working on a way to free the captured Aed.
Personality: Despite her tomboyish looks and tough girl air that she seems to exude, she is actually a very caring and motherly individual. She is one who will dote over children younger than her and worry over people she's just met. However she is no pushover, as she will stand up for what she believes in and even fight for it.
Other: She can control the temperature around her to make it colder so she can make ice. Her fogged breath can also be turned to ice crystals. She cannot make it warmer, it warms up to the temperature it was before naturally.
Elaina's favorite pass times are cooking, singing and walking. You can often find her walking through the parks in New York, humming to herself.
She keeps a small bottle of water strung around her hips with a piece of leather. At the bottom of the bottle is a little good-luck charm she got from her mother before she passed away.(It's a little yellow star)

Name: Mist
Age: 2 years in cat years, 24 in human years
Abilities: Shapeshifting into a human and back into her original cat form (A steel blue coated cat)
Appearance: [Cat And Mouse]
Brief History: Mist was the usual lazy farm cat, chasing mice, taunting farm animals and enjoying long naps in the sun. She was bored of this life and often considered running away, but how could a cat survive in such a big world? Well that's what she thought until the meteor shower, which hit in the middle of the open field on her farm. Mist gained the strange ability to change into a human! Now she could do whatever she wanted, and so she did! She headed to New York, with a mischievous grin painted on her lips.
Personality: Mist is like most cats, mischievous, curious, always getting into and looking for trouble while thinking they are the center of attention. She will often tease and play with people, thinking it all just a big game.
Other: Mist is prone to cat-like tendencies, like sometimes chasing shiny objects and having a weakness for being scratched under the chin and behind the ears.

Ayanami_Elena
Name: Jess
Age: 20
Abilities: Able to "step-sideways," meaning she can travel into the dimension next to the material plane, disappearing from site and reappearing elsewhere. Similar effects as to Nightcrawler, but without the visual and audible signs. She can also store things in the parallel dimension, called her "Dimensional Pocket."
Appearance: Standing at about 5'2" tall, Jess is pretty average looking. Her shoulder-length brown hair is usually pulled back in a messy ponytail, revealing her green eyes and soft smile. Her usual outfit is a pair of black pants and a green and black striped shirt.
Brief History: Jess was raised in an Atlanta orphanage where she was always pulling jokes. One of those jokes went too far one day and the orphanage kicked her out. Since then she has lived off the wealth of others, through pickpocketing, cons, and other thievery. With such a free lifestyle, Jess has traveled the country. This resulted in her presence at the meteor shower and her recent arrival in the Big Apple.
Personality: Highly charismatic and able to blend in with a crowd. She likes to observe people and pull the occasional prank.
Other: While she has a good grasp on her power, occasionally she is unable to pass through "the Veil" during the day and sometimes she cannot exit at certain points.

Name: Will
Age: 25
Abilities: Will is able to see people's auras. This allows him to know who has an ability or is an Aed. He can also amplify or nullify others' powers, but only when they are in his presence.
Appearance: Will is tall and lanky, standing at 6'1". His hair, which is usually a mess, is dark brown with golden tips. His eyes are green with brown and gold rims that match his nondescript wardrobe of a brown tee-shirt and blue jeans.
Brief History: Will moved the New York five years ago with his little sister, Sallie. They both got caught in the meteor shower and weeks later Will began to see the shimmering colors that radiated from everyone around him. After going to his doctor, who was also just hired by the agency, Will and his sister were abducted. After a trial of questioning, Will's kidnappers (working under the pretense of national security) made a proposal. He would work for the Agency, hunting and finding Aeds or he would never see his sister again. And so, Will began his work as a Bloodhound for the Agency.
Personality: Once a lover of life, since his abduction, Will has become more withdrawn and distant. However, he is also cunning and charming, which helps him get close to other Aeds to verify their status.
Other: Will's position is monitored by a large metal anklet, hidden beneath his pants.

Name: Alexander "Alex" Von Kleiss
Age: 25
Ability: N/A
Appearance: Alex is a petite, feminine man, with dark hair and steel grey eyes. At first glance, he appears to be a sweet man (or woman); however, sometimes people can see the evil glean in his plotting eyes.
Brief History: Alex has always wanted to rule the world, but honestly, who hasn't. However, Alex has come extremely close to his goal. When the news of super mutants came to light, Alex set to action to find a way to rise a powerful, loyal army and to harvest the abilities of the super mutants for himself. Using the vast fortune his family estate left him, Alex built an secret organization dubbed The Agency. The Agency, which is concentrated in New York, now has many employees who track, capture, and test on Aeds, mainly to fulfill Alex's goals of power.
Personality: Alex is a cunning, power hungry individual who often dresses as a woman, "Alexandra." Alex will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, whether that is seduction, blackmail, or murder.
Other: Alex has come close to finding a way to mimic other mutants powers.

Good Old RPer
Name: Marcus Maverick
Age: 40
Ability: The ability to absorb and expel various forms of energy from the body.
Appearance: Maverick
Brief History: Marcus Maverick is the owner of Maverick Industries, the leading creator of all things aeronautical. He was given his abilities just like everyone else, except instead of using his powers for good like many of the others, he uses his to further his business endeavors. Marcus will do whatever it takes to get what he wants, even if it means using his own two hands. Marcus is 40 years old with no children, and no local family. This is probably because he changed his name at a young age to escape the poverty he lived in. His business headquarters were already located in New York City, in a huge skyscraper meant solely for Maverick Industries.
Personality: Marcus is cunning and witty. He always knows just the right thing to say. He graduated from Oxford college in Europe and is incredibly intelligent. Marcus will do whatever it takes to be on top, even if that means stepping on a few toes on the way. He also has quite a temper, which has always been his downfall. Marcus practices good etiquette when around the more richer and powerful groups of people, but he isn't afraid to get his hands dirty.
Other: Marcus doesn't see himself as a criminal, yet he still commits sinful acts.

YinWolf
Name: Kendall
Age: 24
Ability: N/A
Appearance: Science!
Brief History: At a young age he was always good at science and math. At the age of twelve his parents took him from the United Kingdom and moved to Kirby, PA. After the discovery of super humans, he started tinkering with electronics and gadgetry. When he went to college for a degree in chemical engineering, he grew infatuated with the mysteries behind the Aed's power. While he went to school, he used his knowledge to research how his classmates powers work. After graduating college with a Master's degree at the age of 23, he was found by the Agency. Having heard about his research and his abilities, they grabbed him up and transferred him to their New York headquarters. There, he creates useful gadgets and machines for their agents and scientists, and researches the Aed.
Personality: Due to his high IQ, Kendall has always felt that he is better than other people. As he grew older he became cocky and arrogant because of his skills.
Other: His head phones can be used as a radio transmitter. In addition, because of his high knowledge of mathematics, he is a great sharpshooter and can handle himself in times of emergency.

Oleander_Neko
Name: Akane Chisio Kusagi
Age: 16
Ability: Can cause mental illusions.
Appearance: Is this real...?
Brief History: Akane Kusagi, the girl many know as childish...but do they know why she's so childish? Perhaps they should know...
As a young child, she was fascinated by the dresses worn by the women in fairy tales, the long and beautiful flowing gowns. But as time went by, she began to learn how false fairy tales were compared to reality. She denied these facts, un-knowingly locking her mind in her days as a child. As she reached her pre-teen years, her parents finally accepted that their daughter was nothing but a child. They had attempted to break Akane free of her childish nature, but were easily ignored.
A few months had passed when they decided it was finally time to send her to a hospital for professional help. As Akane was in the hospital, the psychiatrists slowly began to work their way into her mind, to see how they could help her out of the past. But one fateful day, one of the men had found out why she was stuck in the past. Upon mentioning the facts about fairy tales, Akane snapped. Her mind went blank as a hidden power arose, chairs and plants and pictures in the room lifting up into the air and flying at the man...
Akane is now living with her aunt in New York, whom was fascinated by supernatural things...
Personality: Despite her age, she acts like a child, her mind stuck in the past. Although the few people who have been with her all her life know she has her moments of 'wisdom'. She loves victorian clothing and any sort of cat and bird. But when there is a dog around, she becomes uneasy and sometimes even frightened. The presence of men is no different, seeing as how all the men she had come to know were rather brutish and impolite around women.
Other: She can only create illusions on those that have a 'weak mind'. The weaker the mind, the stronger and more realistic the illusion can become.

XxXrinXX
Name: Leo Igneel
Age: 18
Ability: Pyrokinesis, is the technical name for it but he doesn't really like that name. Really his gift is a bit different from that. He not only can control flames but he can produce them and take energy from them to give to himself. He has a wide variety of attacks and he can even breath fire like a dragon. He is also unaffected by most forms of cold.
Appearance:Leo
Brief History: Leo was born into a rather flamboyant family. Be what you wanna be kind thing you know. His parents where in his opinion hippies but that was cool. They took good care of him. He is originally from the southern region of the USA but was visiting in Jersey when the meteor shower began. After it was over he went home and soon discovered his powers. Feeling the call to NYC he grabbed some loose clothing and bid his parents farewell. With one bag and himself he struggled a train ride and is now roaming the streets.
Personality: Headstrong and rash are the two most predominant personality traits of Leo. He is also honest to a fault and not scared to tell you if he doesn't like you. Despite is reckless personality he does genuinely care about the people around him and tends not to hurt to many with words. His actions are another subject though.
Other: He has a tattoo on his right shoulder that is his family crest. Not much is known about and even if there was something known he would probably still know nothing about it.

PatchesVonGore
Name: Isabella Dawn
Age: Real age, unknown. Biological age at time of death, 20.
Ability: Ghost-like things. The ability to pass through walls and other objects, invisibility, etc.
Appearance: When Isabella is not invisible.
Brief History: The first thing people say when they find out is "Aah! A ghost!" Well how do you think that makes them feel? Try being the apparition in question. It's not as easy as it sounds. You're not even alive. What happens when you're holding an expensive vase and you phase out and it drops to the floor? Being a ghost is down-right expensive.
But first, how it all started. The spirit in question is named Isabella Dawn. She was twenty when it happened, which at the time of her death kept her at that constant age for the rest of eternity. She wasn't a very lucky woman to begin with. If something could break, it would. If she could trip over it, she would. Isabella had the worst luck of all. When the meteor shower hit, wouldn't you have it, she was outside minding her own business. Isabella wouldn't even be able to recall what happened at the time, but when the showers fell, a meteor struck a power line up ahead. The pole snapped and crashed to the ground, instantly collapsing poor Isabella underneath it; Luck didn't even have the common decency to kill her normally like a car crash. No, instead of gaining incredible abilities like other people, Isabella Dawn had died. At first she hated the Aed because it just wasn't fair. They got powers like out of a cool comic book and she was killed? It just didn't seem right. But as time went on, Isabella's resentment toward the Aed fizzled to a dull simmer and eventually disappeared. However regardless of her neutrality between the Aed and human, she was unable to pass on to the other world. Isabella is forever stuck on Earth.
Personality: Isabella is your average shy girl. She's quiet, nice, kind when she can, polite, and sometimes gets scared rather easily.
Other: Although an apparition, Isabella still looks like a regular person. In times of great stress, excitement, etc. she may become transparent and phase in and out. Other than that, she can still pick up regular objects, open doors, windows, and the likes. In addition, as a fault of being a spirit, Isabella cannot pass over salt or cross it.

It was a perfectly calm morning. Dew held itself tightly against everything as it fought with the rising sun, which threatened to lift it back into the air. The city was still chilled from the night, but gracefully accepted the sun's warmth as it broke over the horizon. The light cast a beautiful orange glow over the city, and the buildings left crisp blue shadows in its wake. Morning birds chirped and sang to break the silence as traffic signals made their own songs to one another. All of this would have no bearing whatsoever on the events of the day - but it was a wonderful start.

As light broke across the city, Kai meandered through the streets with his hands in his jacket pockets. His destination was a secret location near the unkempt city park, between a closed historical site (that was once for the park) and a gas station. The location was mostly hidden from view and had no obvious signs for business, but it was indeed open as a convenience store. The back of the store held the entrance to the basements of the store and the museum, where various artifacts and park memorabilia were kept. It was also the site for the unification of Aed, as well as their resistance against the Agency.

Kai was no fool. He knew that the saying "strength in numbers" was not just a well-wish, but he hadn't trusted that the group was all it was cracked up to be. It was only recently that he had heard of their potential, and was told that it would not be much longer before they struck a hard offense toward the Agency. At this point, the location of the Agency was known to all Aed. Word spreads fast among the outcast.

Walking into the store, the first thing Kai noticed was that it was well-stocked with all the gas station favorites: energy drinks, candy bars, gum, tobacco products, sodas, teas, and quick or ready-made foods stretching from donuts to deli-select sandwiches and salads. Kai smiled to himself, finding it a nice gesture to stock an obscure store with so much variety.

"Care to buy something?" A young woman at the register looked at him with one hand on her hip and bubble gum expanding from her mouth. As the gum popped, she drew it back in and tightened her slit-eyed gaze.

Kai stood motionless after turning to see where the voice had come from. He hadn't noticed the girl on his way in at all. His expression wasn't reflecting his surprise; he had grown face-stupid in the past few years. Realizing his stagnant gaze must have looked out of place, he drew his eyes away and quickly tensed his face as he readied himself to speak. "I would have to think on it, but I came to see someone. I'm interested in sharing my abilities with the resistance."

[ No worries people! I'm probably not going to write this much throughout the RP. I'm practicing my advanced writing skills (iknowthisistotalcrapforthat) and intros are normally longer for me anyway. ]

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

The alarm broke the silence of the morning in the hotel room. The lump in the middle of the bed stirred. Finally a hand broke from under the large, feather down blanket and groped for the electronic device. Finding the button, the hand flipped the switch and the silence filled the room once again - until a sigh and yawn made its way out of the comforter.

"Guess it is time to wake up, Jess." The young girl pulled the covers down and zombie-walked into the hotel's bathroom. She emerged a few minutes latter, with her brown hair wet and clinging to her neck, and wearing brand-new clothes, freshly stolen. In fact, the tags still hung from the sleeve of the tee-shirt, which featured some indie-band's logo. Jess noticed the tag and with a flick of her wrist, a pair of scissors appeared hand. She snipped the tag and the scissors disappeared and she threw the tag into the trash can.

Jess walked back to the bed, having retrieved the towel from the bathroom, and fell back onto the cloud-like surface. Rubbing the towel into her wet hair with one hand and finding the remote with the other, Jess turned on the television. The screen displayed a beautiful woman interviewer talking to a rough looking male. Jess was about to turn up the television, but she read the caption, "More AED attacks," and turned the set off instead.

Jess got off the bed and walked to the window; she pulled the curtains back and looked out into the sun-rise. "Well, it is a new day, and time to find some food and some fun." With that, Jess dropped the towel and stepped closer to the window, disappearing from view.

Minutes later, as a cleaning lady, confused by the mess, entered the room that Jess had once occupied, Jess reappeared on the streets of New York.

In the forest of skyscrapers that reached up to touch the heavens above New York, The Agency occupied one of the taller buildings. The building was also one of the deepest. The basement continued down many floors, with the last ten floors dedicated to housing Aeds that had been captured. The floor above held a unit of security and dining. The next ten floors were equipped with state of the art technology and laboratories. As the morning sun flooded the city, Aeds in these floors were being probed, tested, and experimented. The next few floors before reaching the lobby housed the security that helped ensure the Aeds did not escape. This, unfortunately, was not completely fail-safe. But no one is perfect, not even the Agency.

From the lobby, the building looked like any other business building in New York. The floors above the lobby, however, were a mix between apartments and business offices. The agents that worked for the Agency were offered free board and long tireless hours. The last three floors, 47 through 50, of the skyscraper, housed the home, office, and personal lab of Dr. Alex von Kleiss, respectively.

Upon exiting the personal elevator on the 48th floor within Alex's office, the bookshelf which hid the elevator slid silently back into place. Alex walked across the marble floor to the oak desk. CLICK. CLICK. CLICK. The black, high-heeled shoes made an audible sound as they made contact with the floor. Upon reaching the table, Alex wheeled the high-backed leather chair around and gracefully sat down. His dark purple dress clung to his slender body and rustled in the air as Alex turned back to the table. After picking up a pen and flipping through a few papers, Alex impatiently dropped the pen and picked up his phone.

"Diane. Yes. Please send in Mali." Alex said sweetly into the phone, his voice very feminine. However, the pleasure and happiness disappeared in his voice. "Oh. Really. Well this is not good. We need to fix this. " Alex's voice changed back to being sweet.

"Have you located the email address of Marcus Maverick. You have? Good. Good. Send it to me, will you sweetheart. Thanks." Alex hung up the phone, smiling. He picked up the pen again, placing the end in his mouth, between his dark red painted lips and woke his computer up with a shake of the mouse.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. ____ Sounds filled the kitchen of water running as dishes were being washed, and the sound of two people on the tv drifted in from the living room. The tv spoke of Aeds attacking, and suddenly the water turned off and a head peeked out the opening in the kitchen wall over a bar table. "Ah... looks like we lost more... Soon..." Said Elaina in a soft voice.

____ Elaina locked the door of her home, which was it's own suite, her home taking up one floor, while her father's took up the floor above hers. She felt lucky that she had a place of her own and was able to do what she did: help the Aed. She went down the elevator and out the front door, looking at the morning sight of New York. She took in a deep breath, "Time to get to work..." She headed through the crowds already forming on the sidewalks toward the Resistance Agency.

____ As she got in, she heard and saw, a young boy chatting with her first "receptionist". "Ah, sorry to interrupt," She smiled at the boy, then turned to the girl, "Cassy, has anything come in today?" Her voice was very nonchalant, as if she was actually asking if any stock had come in.

User ImageIn one of the basement floors of the Agency, a white room reflected artificial lighting off the clean and stark walls. Equipment covered the floor along each wall, with exception of the wall with the door into the room, which instead held a giant observation window. Several work desks stood near the center of the room with storage units underneath the tabletops. Upon one of the desks, parts were strewn about haphazardly. Upon a stool at one end of the desk sat a young man with his goggles down concentrating on his newest gadget.

"If I just put a circuit board here, then maybe I can program it to move certain components," Kendall said to himself as he tinkered with what looks like a pocket knife with numerous small gadgets encased in the two inch device. With this advanced pocket knife, agents should be able to limit how many gadgets they have to carry with them, he thought to himself as he finished up the final pieces of his newest 'toy'.

After testing his gadget and making sure it functioned properly, Kendall moved over to a sink to wash his hands from the grease and dirt that accompanies the creation of many of his gadgets, before moving his goggles up onto his forehead. Kendall cleaned off his work area, before sitting down and writing out the necessary paperwork that comes with creating a new gadget. When he finished the paperwork, he scanned the original into the system before placing it into a filing cabinet for safe keeping.

Before leaving the lab for lunch he called up one of the many correspondent secretaries, who helped get information from scientists to agents or the boss. "Hey Stacy could you let Dr. von Kleiss know that I have completed a new gadget and could you tell the agents that I have a new gadget that they can use," he told the secretary as he wrote out a note, of his whereabouts, to post on the door.

"I'll let him know and post a memo to all of the agents. Have a good day now," the secretary said before hanging the phone up, after hearing his reply.

After hanging up the phone, Kendall put this note on the door and headed to the elevator in order to get himself some breakfast after cooping himself up in the labs throughout the night.

Dangerous Friend

User Image In the center of Central Park, one of the Agency's hunters laid on a bench. His hands rested under his head of brown, messy hair. The city was still quiet, with the exception of the chirps of birds and the buzz of the agent's cellphone. The young man sighed and sat up in the bench. He reached into his pouch and received the phone, opening it without looking at the caller ID; there was no need - only the Agency called this number.

"Will here."

"Status report. You have maintained your position for the last five hours; are you in the presence of a target?"

Great. Checking in on me. Will thought. "Negative. I have been surveying and gathering information with passerbyers."

"Well. Remember, resting should occur at HQ. And you need to check in once a day, or else." And with that the other end of the hung up. Will closed the phone and returned it to his pocket. He placed his head in his hands and sighed.

Sure. Some Aeds are dangerous. But they don't need to be taken to that hell-hole. Will thought as he rose and started walking to the local cafe. He knew he had to find some Aeds, no matter how much he hated being the slave of the Agency. Sorry Sally.
