forum Mission of A Lifetime (Closed)

Everyone who lives anywhere near Nova City has heard of the infamous Kate Raikov, and now you are sitting in a strange room with her at the head of a table like you’re in a board meeting with one of the most wanted criminals in the country. She tells you that she wants you to join her in a top secret mission and that she will reward you handsomely. Of course, you’re probably also a criminal, or at least not the most upstanding citizen, or you wouldn’t be here. The only question is: are you going to help Kate save the world (for the money, of course) or walk out on this once in a lifetime opportunity? The choice is yours.

~~
In this world, magic and technology intertwine in a modern, fantastical country called Ninkovia, of which Nova City is the capital.

There are six classes of magic users:
Elemental
These are people who can control an element (fire, air, water, earth, light, darkness). They can both create it from nothing and manipulate the existing element. Elementals are usually viewed as turbulent and unpredictable. They are also seen to be fairly basic.

Animga
These people have abilities relating to the mind, such as mind reading, empathy, pyschometry (seeing the past of objects), etc. They are usually viewed as distrustful and scheming. Of the classes of magic wielders, they are generally seen as the worst and most backstabbing.

Corporis
Corporis, or the plural, corpori, are those whole control bodies. This class includes both healers and those who can tear people apart with only their minds. This one has two connotations depending on the exact power. Healers are greatly valued and respected and seen as helpful and selfless. However, those who tear people apart are seen as terrifying and dangerous, almost as bad as animgas. Both their abilities and animgas’ abilities can also be used on animals.

Seer
These people can see the future, past, or present in short bursts. This category has the least different kinds of abilities, along with technologi. Seers are seen as smart and knowledgeable, almost on par with healers.

Technologi
These people can control technology, such as technopaths. They are seen as smart, but boring or even weak.

Shifter
Shifters are…you guessed it, shape shifters. They have one specific animal they can transform into at will. They are seen as unstable, but also vain.

As Elliot walked through the dark rodes he scrolled through his phone. Everywhere he was he saw people backing up. He got used to it. He got a call from his stepbrother and answered it. "Yes, Alic. What do you want?" Elliot said in a low tone.
He heard Alic laugh. "Brother, brother, brother…Must I remind you? You aren't coming home tonight." Elliot raised an eyebrow. "And why's that, brother?" Elliot said, reaching for the coins in his pocket. "Because mother said so…" Alic chuckled.
"Shut up!" Elliot yelled into the phone. "Im going home, one way or another…" Elliot scowled. Elliot quickly hung up and stuffed his phone into his pocket. Damn Alic… He huffed. He continued walking until he got to a store. He entered it and everyone stared. He heard murmuring coming from the back of the store. Isn't t-that Elliot?… A person said. Elliot scowled. "And so what if I am!" Elliot sighed. He walked out with a frown on his face.

Name: Kate Raikov
Age: 19
Gender and sexuality: Female, pansexual
Class and exact power: Elemental; her power is the manipulation and creation of darkness.
Appearance: Kate has curly dark brown hair that goes just a bit past her shoulders and eyebrows that are always plucked to perfection (the only physical feature that she is meticulous about). Her eyebrows are a bit on the thicker side, and she has a grecian nose and rosebud lips. Her skin is a warm tan color and she has light green eyes in contrast to the rest of her coloring. She has several ear piercings and an infectious smile. Kate is a bit over average height, standing at 5’ 7”, with an athletic body type. She usually wears dark colors to blend in with the shadows and is good at going unnoticed in a crowd.
Personality: Kate can come off as cold to those who don’t know her well, because she doesn’t mind being mean or cold when it feels necessary. She has a sarcastic and dry sense of humor and sometimes can’t help saying things that she thinks are funny (but aren’t always are). She is kind and loyal to those who know her best, at least some of the time. She isn’t afraid to speak her mind, and she is quite honest. Kate can be quite emotionally intelligent sometimes and can get annoyed by little things, though she tries not to show it. While her background has led her to be adept at lying and pretending, when she isn't on a job her face shows exactly how she's feeling. She also has trouble trusting others and is a lone wolf type. She gets easily annoyed by the chattering of others, and flirting annoys her as well. She's the kind of girl to get a job done straight away and then move on.
How they know Kate/job if they have one: She is Kate lol. Her "job" is just whatever people pay her to do, usually something like stealing, destruction, etc. She's known for being silent and precise.
Backstory: When she was little, Kate's father left her and her mother. She barely remembers him, and her mother died when she was fourteen. Kate hadn't finished school, and while she was smart, she didn't have much to get by on. Most normal jobs don't exactly hire fourteen-year-olds, so she took some less legal jobs. At first they were more innocent, like getting certain small and fairly sentimental objects back to their rightful owners (or at least, those desperate enough to pay for it). By the time she was sixteen, Kate was a masterful cat burglar and continued onto bigger things, eventually quitting school altogether. It was around this time that she started to make a name for herself. She had her first hired assassination at the age of seventeen, and by that point was a wanted and known criminal. Ever since, she's done any kind of shady dealing that she deems worth her time (and her pockets).
Any other helpful skills/strengths: Kate is good at hand-to-hand combat and has a lot of street smarts. She's good at reading people and clever.
Weaknesses/fears: She never finished school, so she is lacking some book smarts, though she has a fair amount of practical knowledge. Kate is bad at trusting others and working in a team, and she lives by the motto that the best way to do something is to do it yourself. (However, the mysterious benefactor did specifically request that she needed someone of each class to do this mission.) She also is a bit on the vain side, which some people find surprising from an Elemental.

(Not sure if this is short enough, but here you go!)

"You know what I've wanted and you know why I do what I do.", Lucien stated,"So, why is it that you keep asking me the same questions over and over again?" He uncrossed his legs before standing up out of the chair; the screech coming from the bottom of the iron broke the silence for a second. Those ice bleak eyes stared down into the investigator's as the man stood still.

A small tingle feeling crawled up Harper's neck making the sides of her arm twitch momentarily. She couldn't face looking back at Lucien with the pure purpose that reflects against his stare. How it made her froze with not having a clear direction to pull herself out of this. Harper moved her seat back as she managed to get a glimpse back at the suspect who's somehow still waiting for an answer.

What Harper finds interesting is how the silence in the room is not affecting him at all. Lucien has his hand lying flat over the dark yellow file; he's not dragging it over to him or her, it's still. The lack of emotion in his face is what makes the eyes stand out to her. His posture is perfect yet rigid, she isn't sure if he is going to lunge at her or if this is all a waiting game to gain power. Lucien doesn't have anything on him to attack her with, so what the point be to kill her right then and there? Harper also noticed that his suit jacket is still buttoned; the past times he always opened it or placed the jacket behind the chair.

She bit the corners inside her lip trying to hide any possible sign or sudden smirk. "It's simple Mister Wildgrube, to see if you have anything new up your sleeve.", Harper remarked," You know, any change of interesting habits or people that could possibly be missing. Anything."

Lucien broke the gaze he kept with her, a grin appeared as he shook his head. How does he manage to overstep this time? Bringing his chair back, he sat down pushing the file closer to her. "Come Harper my sweetheart, if you're smart enough to work on case with twenty people dead or missing, I think you would know by now."
