Ditto with news files.

Profiles for unfilled FCs may also be updated to reflect their positions in

IO2: Dirty Little War              Sun Dec 04    Leo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It starts with a spark. The conflict was inconsequential, a small flare-up 
between a Robot Overlord and a Robot Master. But it only ever takes one spark.

Attacks started across the city. Civil uprisings by miners were joined by 
Mavericks and Irregulars. Neo Arcadia launched a few very significant attacks 
against businesses, attempting to cripple the ability of smaller companies to 
compete with the companies they had a stronger influence over: Gimialla Mining 
and Melda Ore, companies of European expatriates or South American 
sympathizers.

The Mavericks established a foothold in the Lagrano Ruins, displacing the 
Irregular presence there. Repeated attempts to dislodge them only drove them 
deeper into Old Vancouver. A containment strategy was implemented by 
Repliforce, who focused their strength on the Central Tower. Repeated 
saturation bombings have left the tower and city core in poor shape, which 
continues to make the security situation there tenuous.

"Humanitarian" efforts were established around the central tower, with 
different groups operating repair tents for civilians. The Neo Arcadians 
targeted these areas with a daring strike, leaving behind a stunning amount of 
bloodshed and horror. The images of the wounded being gunned down by Pantheon 
troopers boil in the minds of the Reploids in Giga City, and have driven many 
of the more radical miners into the Maverick cause.

The most salient event to the rest of the world came on a day already being 
called "Bloody Saturday". The Robot Masters, who had previously seemed 
disinterested in Giga City, struck the weakened city with their full strength. 
Dr. Wily, piloting a new WilyMachine, led a two-pronged attack. The main body 
of the force took part in a strike on the central tower, with a second group 
led by Bass drilling up into Gimialla's mines.

The resulting violence was catastrophic; a weakened Repliforce and Hunter force 
could not stand up against the Robot Master assault. Bass and Lumine were said 
by some to be working together to destroy their opposition, and the sheer 
number of fresh Robot Masters resulted in the mine being badly damaged, large 
quantities of Force Metal being stolen, and an ever-rising casualty count.

The citizens of Giga City could take no more. Leaders of the unauthorized miner 
unions began to meet in secret meetings with the management of the major 
corporations in the city on Friday, and a "cease fire" of sorts was announced 
early on Sunday morning. An uneasy peace has come to Giga City, and not a 
moment too soon: critical city services were being threatened by the 
relentless violence.

With peace comes the possibility of hope. General's unyielding stand on Reploid 
rights has earned him the favor of the people of Giga City. Negotiations 
moderated by Repliforce are said to be planned between the leaders of the 
unions and the corporations to establish a lasting peace in the city. 
Appleman's "dirty little war" has ended.

NA OVERDONE/UNDERDONE              Thu Dec 08    Io
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How late am I with this? Anyway.
 
OVERDONE:
- People who are morally ambivalent about the NA cause.
- Aquatic ops; I think we're about OK here now.
- Rebellious folk.
- Youngsters (teenage to very early 20s), goes double for WDS.
- Rebellious teenage folk.
- People with heavy Asian influences.
- Umbrella freaks with very high endurance and/or some regard for human life.
 
UNDERDONE:
- Individuals truly loyal to the idea of a world free of AI and the lazy people 
who would rely on them to live life in their place.
- Professional soldiers and/or obedient people who respect the chain of command.
- Non-combatant support staff's always welcome!
- People hailing from Europe or Mexico.
- Umbrella FCs.
- Heck, 'plain' NA FCs while we're at it.
 
It's now OK to start apping cyborgs again, but be wary that if I get a ton I'll 
rule them as overdone again soon enough.
 
This does not apply to apps already in the box or in the middle of being 
processed, of course, but they do to all new OC apps coming in after this post.

of codename.
 
So, there you have it.

IO2: Brand New Sky                 Fri Dec 09    Leo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2219 approaches. The world continues to turn. Wars continue to rage. Vendettas 
are declared, scuffles break out in the streets; romances begin and end; deals 
are made and broken. The players change, but the earth remains the same.

The Irregulars were fighting a war on a distant planet for the future of this 
pockmarked world. Led by Epsilon, the Irregulars did battle against an 
inhuman, unfeeling enemy for almost a year in anonymity. His Omnidroids and 
the power of Devilmachine Vocabulary rivaled any force on Earth. They were the 
shining hope of a world which had lost its ability to see wonder.

They failed.

Driven from the planet, the Irregulars made a desperate attempt to escape back 
to the Earth. Did they plan to warn us? Marshal an army? Flee into the dark 
parts of the world and attempt to un-see what they had seen? We may never 
know. They were lured into a trap and torn apart from within even as they had 
almost escaped the grasp of their relentless Adversary.

A crippled ship carrying the poison of a distant war crashed into the ruins of 
another great warzone: Robotropolis, the cursed earth created by endless Robot 
Master and Maverick battles for dominance. All the great armies of the world 
attempted to draw the spoils of alien technology, but faced a terror they were 
unprepared for: Reavers, the robotic creations of an unknown alien intellect. 
Who made them, and why? Were they only intended to exterminate the Irregulars, 
or does an alien armada continue to mass its forces just out of our sight, 
waiting for the best time to strike?

The fiends were defeated on this day by a (relatively) unified world. The 
Earth, for now, remains safe. But as the days pass, and more is learned, the 
corridors of power echo with alarm.

As the United States government disassembles the alien ship to find its 
secrets, it discovers a gruesome discovery. Written in mech-fluid on the floor 
of the alien spaceship by a former schoolteacher's finger, moments before she 
was finally brought down by the Reavers herself, is a single word.

PATRIARCH.

Overdone for Civilians

JAPAN

This includes being from Japan, being Japanese, being half-Japanese, being 
inspired by anime because your creators loved anime so much (as already 
mentioned in 2/31), or even living in Japan for a long time being the 
formative experience in your life.

The anime thing is completely overdone. Japan itself is overdone for a WHILE.

Underdone for Civilians

Yes, I'm declaring an entire country overdone for my particular faction for a 
while. It's cool, though, there are others.

Rockman Dash, I am very sorry that your ears are so cold, and also that your

On the bright side, you have some things going for you.

Call to Replenish my Temp Pool     Sat Dec 10    Gemma
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My temp pool is empty. I can see the blue concrete bottom.

Send me an @mail if you are open for temping for TP characters, or wish to be 
considered for temping in future TPs so that my cup may once again runneth 
over.

Sending a request does not guarantee consideration; staff looks mostly at your 
availablity and your timelog to make sure you will be around when we need you. 
We tend to choose people we feel are a) suited to the character we need and b) 
in it for the long haul and not likely to jump ship.

If you have sent me a temp request @mail in the past, I have cleared out that 
folder and you need to send this temp request @mail again. Note that this is 
DIFFERENT from my last instructions regarding this. I want to start my list 
over again because it's a bit outmodded, so if you want to request to be back 
on the list, please request, or you will not be on the list.

BTW, if you are curious as to why only a few people from the non-staff list 
were chosen for IO temping, it was because a large number of my potential 
temps apped IO OCs and so were not able to temp other IOs.

Cinnamon & Axl back up towards the elevator... wanting to get away from the

Cinnamon: Axl, please, let's get out of here!
Axl: For Light's sake, keep a grip on yourself.
Cinnamon: But it... it seems so unhealthy here.
Axl: It's just a party, Cinnamon.
Cinnamon: Well -- I want to go.
Axl: Well we can't go anywhere until I get to a communicator.
Cinnamon: Well then ask the butler or someone.
Axl: Just a moment, Cinnamon -- we don't want to interfere with their

Cinnamon: This isn't the Junior Chamber of Commerce, Axl.
Axl: They're probably foreigners with ways different than our own. They may do 
some more folk dancing.
Cinnamon: Look, I'm cold, I'm wet, and I'm just plain scared!
Axl: I'm here -- there's nothing to worry about.
Cinnamon: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Cinnamon faints as Axl turns...

Lumine: How do you do, I see you've met my faithful handyman. He's just a 
little brought down because when you knocked, he thought you were the 
candyman! Don't get strung out by the way I look! Don't judge a book by its 
cover! I'm not much of a man by the light of day, but by night I'm one hell of 
a lover! I'm just a sweet transvestite, from Transexual, Transylvania!

Let me show you around, maybe play you a sound, you look like you're both 
pretty groovy. Or if you want something visual, That's not too abysmal, we 
could take in an old Steeve Reeves movie.

Axl: I'm glad we caught you at home, could we use your phone? We're both in a 
bit of a hurry.
Cinnamon: Right!
Axl: We'll just say where we are, then go back to the car, we don't want to be 
any worry.

Lumine: Well you got caught with a flat, well how 'bout that! Well, babies, 
don't you panic! By the light of the night it'll all seem alright, I'll get 
you a Satanic mechanic. I'm just a sweet transvestite, from Transexual, 
Transylvania!

Why don't you stay for the night.

Cyber Peacock: Night!
Lumine: Or maybe a bite!
Fianait: Bite!
Lumine: I could show you my favorite obsession. I've been making a man, with 
blonde hair and a tan, and he's good for relieving my tension. I'm just a 
sweet transvestite, from Transexual, Transylvania! Hit it! Hit it! I'm just a 
sweet transvestite!

Chorus: Sweet Transvestite!
Lumine: From Transexual...
Chorus: Transylvania
Lumine: So come up to the lab, and see what's on the slab. I see you shiver 
with antici...

...

...pation!

But maybe the rain, isn't really to blame... hmm hmm hmm... so I'll remove the 
cause... but not the symptom!


Lumine slinks up the elevator to applause from the gathered Mavericks, and 100

Execute Order 66                   Thu Dec 15    Draco
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Cossack sits on his chair in is lab. He places his ushakya on his head to 
distract from the dark, baggy circles underneath his eyes. He keys his 
communicator on, and speaks the dread words.

"Execute order 66."

This is the small hologram that the SOVbots see during their various duties. 
The hive mind radios back their reply in unison. "IT WILL BE COMPLED WITH, MY 
CREATOR."

A pair of SOVbots turn around and advance on Roll as she's baking, their 
terrible claws clacking. The two SOVbots riding on Ride Chasers, helping Mike 
and his Desperado with a store run look at each other with their cycloptic 
eyes and nod at each other. The pair cut their acceleration. As Durandal 
watches television, eating his snack, the two SOVbots commiting Feng Shui on 
the furniture stop and turn towards the Hunter. Durandal looks left and right 
as he feels like he's being watched. Meanwhile, Massimo, walking down the 
corrider with his groceries, is confronted by a wave of SOVbots. He starts to 
charge forwards valiently, only to stop, and look over his shoulder... to see 
another wave of SOVbots behind him. And as Rock flying around the Tower on the 
back of Rush, a SOVbot on the ground points upwards as a second starts to aim 
an eyeslaser at the hero and his loyal mount.

Elsewhere, Doctor Light leans on his table, from a distrubance in his 
acid-reflux tablets. He looks over to his plate, with a saddened and suprised 
look... he knows what is going on. The Doctor turns around and gives the 
approaching to SOVbots the Minnesota Slugger.

Rock and Light meet up later, luckily picked up by Storm Owl's Fortress V, and 
there Light tells Rock the plan. "Rock, the plan, it is... to go back to the 
Tower and steal back our cookies from Dr. Cossack!"

Congrats to Dr. Cossack who has amassed an impressive 500 +cookies!

9mm strapped to his chest, dried blood on both claws, and cookie crumbs on his 
face. There is also a sticker on his tummy that reads 'F--- You'. The CARE
