November seventh, 2009 a day that marked a huge turning point for the entire human race. It was the first day that their ships had appeared in the skies above the world's major city. The Dezaras ,as they referred to themselves, were revealed to be a race of benevolent and startlingly human like aliens who merely wished to advance those living on earth with the promises of new technologies and the possibility of building a new utopian society without war, poverty and strife. We welcomed the Dezaras with open arms, allowing them to integrate themselves into our society. In time they made good on their promises, slowly introducing their technology across the world, and forging better relations between governments, all while postioning themselves in government and nearly all institutions known to man in order to make sure their work wouldnt collapse. With the Dezaras becoming more and more numerous within the various world governments some began to believe that they were gaining a little too much influence over earth, and those that believed that had a tendency to vanish without a trace. by the time people began to wonder if there were more sinister intetions driving the Dezaras it was far too late. The Dezaras had so deeply ingrained within Earth's governing bodies, having more or less replaced earth's militaries with their own soldiers, and of course the ever present Dezaras mother ships and their special warp network that allowed their agents to be able to warp anywhere on earth, any time and from any place. Even with no war involved, Earth was more or less conquered and we let them do it.

In time the Dezaras began to show their true colors, herding humans into internment camps where they would be forced to work maintaining their various warp network nodes, ships, overseer vehicles, as well as farming the food the the Dezaras would likely horde for themselves. In time humans became less like people and more like property as the Dezaras had no more need to continue projecting the facade of benevolence as well as shedding their human like disguises and revealing the true repitilian beings that they were. As the decades continued to pass humans were driven into underground stasis modules where they would remain until needed by their new masters while the Dezaras occupied the surface of our world. They saw humans as little more than workers or raw materials to create powerful, yet disposable soldiers or bio computers for their use.

Within this conquered world through, there was a ray of hope though. A group of humans who had escaped stasis, and the geneforges of the Dezaras and found one another. It was through through this that the underground resistance movement known as Deus-X was formed to eventually take back the world that was stolen from them. It wasnt a quick or easy operation though. It took years to "aquire" and repurpose the technology to develop the six sets of Striker Gear powerful enough to take on the Dezaras, even longer still to assemble a team of users skilled enough to use them Finally though, in the year 2079 the team has been assembled, and trained to properly use the Striker Gears the time has finally come for them to fulfill their purpose and retake our homeworld.

My bio:

Name: Talyn Grey

Age: Difficult to determine, estimated to be somewhere in his twenties

Designation: Striker Black

Appearance:
vlcsnap-81620-1.jpg


Gear: Striker Brace, Striker Pistol

Weapons: Striker Chainsword, Tanker Shield

Bio: Many years ago most humans were born by normal means with a mother and father, though in this generation all of those not born in Freehaven arent so fortunate. Talyn was one such person, cloned by the Dezaras with his genes optimized for combat, it was determined that he would be able to serve as an exemplary command type Shocker rather than an ordinary one. It seemed that he would be doomed to a life of serving the Dezaras and suppressing his own people just like all others who were cloned to be Shockers for the Dezaras. But fate had something different in mind for him. While still very young, and long before the mental conditioning began a team of Deus-X operatives, led by the founder Nathaniel Grey and was liberated by them and taken to Freehaven. In that time the Striker suits were still in the planning stages but already people were considering the possibility of him being raised to use such a suit sometime down the line. Given the fact that he wasnt just intended to be any ordinary Shocker, but a commander type it seemed that he would be a natural choice when he was old enough to use it. while Nathaniel believed that raising him simply to fight was rather cruel, he couldnt ignore such a possibility for the fight for humanity's future. He chose to take a sort of middle ground, and agreed to the plan. Giving him the name Talyn he was raised as Nathaniel's son. Over the years Nathaniel allowed them to give him martial arts training, and provided him with training in various other forms of combat and strategizing that still allowed him with time for social interactions with others in order to ensure that he would at least be a properly adjusted person. Needless to say his origins were kept secret from him in order for him to feel a little more normal.

With the Strikenger project underway he was often encouraged to hang around the others who had been chosen to be raised for the purpose of someday becoming Strikengers, as the organization believed that to ensure success and making working together easier that the group should know one another from a young age. He had always been paler than the others and with that blue marker on his face which had been used to designate what type of Shocker he was meant to be and his red eyes. While he thought nothing of it himself it seemed that the others were a little unnerved or even a little afraid of his appearance, causing him to become a little withdrawn in his younger days causing him to focus more on his combat practice rather than his social interactions thrrought out his teenaged years. By that time they didnt find his appearance as unnerving but by then he found socializing with them to be a little akward which made it a little difficult for him to mesh with the rest of the group. He was at least friendly toward them though, he just didnt seem to talk much to them most of the time.

Finally after so many years of development and work the Striker Gears had been completed and he along with the others were presented with the Striker Braces, thus formally making the Strikenger team a reality. He cant help but feel a little nervous about his combat and leadership abilities, but he trusts than when it comes down to it all of that training he recieved throughout his life will serve the team well.

Personality wise Talyn is rather friendly toward people, regardless of how they are to him, and seems to be dedicated to doing his best at all of his endeavors, especially when doing things for others. Very few things actually seem to bother him, and he always seems to be wearing that same smile on his face even during those more difficult days of his youth. Wether this is simply a facade or not has yet to be seen but no matter what he always seems to be willing to press on and keep going. His dedication to bringing about a better way of life to everyone at least gives him an attitude that perfectly suits him for duty as Striker Black.

Name: Mars Reyhart

Age: 19

Designation: Striker Green

Appearance:
48985_1414593197_3519_n.jpg


Gear: Striker Bracer, Striker Pistol

Weapons: Striker Sniper, Flight Striker.

Bio: During the time when the creation of the Striker Braces were still a whimsical dream, Deus-X was started to become desperate, during those moment of despair they started down a very dangerous path. Taking a page out of the Dezaras' book, Deus-X's scientist begun working towards creating their own version of the augmented human. After many years of researching and experimenting with gene modification and selection, a group of children were born with top physical capabilities and enhanced senses, which they immediately begun training to turn them into weapons for the war against the Dezaras. Mars was one of those children and in soon became clear that he held more potential than all the other kids, however, his mental stability was part from perfect. It reached the point that, during a simply mock fight between all of the kids, Mars severely beat all of his comrades, and was about to snap the neck of one of the kids when the trainers stopped him. When confronted by the trainers and officials afterwards, Mars no only show a lack of remorse for his actions, but also a lack of understanding of what he had almost caused, instead the boy simply asked if he had done well during the training exercise. Despite being a very boisterous and cheerful boy, psychiatrist realized that Mars could not form any deep, meaningful bond with any one else, being the trainers or other children. This caused Mars to be very dangerous during to the other children, as he could not see anything wrong with seriously injuring the others, even during training. To prevent more injuries from happening Deus-X officials decided that Mars should be trained separated from the rest and his training should focus on things that are carried out solo.

When the Striker Braces were finally completed and the time came to choose the team's sniper, Striker Green, it became obvious to the Deus-X officials that Mars was the best choice to carry out those duties, since he had being trained for them sense he was a kid. Despite their trepidation of putting Mars on a team, something that they had spent most of his life trying to prevent, they still chose Mars as Striker Green. During his very first meeting with the rest of the Strikenger team, Mars walked up to them, smiled brightly and warmly, and reassured them that, even if he had to shoot through the entire Strikenger team, they could rest easy the he would accomplish his duty as Striker Green.

Personality: At first sight, Mars seems like a very cheerful and talkative person. He is tries to be nice to everyone and feels the need to say everything that comes to his mind. However, in reality he holds no meaning for human life, not even his own, so fails to realized what dying and killing thoroughly are, so he simply disregard it completely. The only reason Mars even cares about his duties in Deus-X is because that's what he has been thought seen he was a kid, otherwise he would not even know the difference between a human life and a Dezaras' life. Because of all the time he has spent alone, Mars has developed a very vivid imagination, which leads him to often make up stories about others and assume them to be true.

Name: Johann Vaughn

Age: 17

Designation: Striker Blue

Appearance:
5d1d3796.jpg



Gear: Striker Brace, Striker Pistol

Weapons: Virus Whip, Hacker Gauntlet

Bio: It had been three years after Deus-X began to train children to become Strikengers, but this is where they went wrong. As much as Deus-X wanted to believe they could train a mind to be as smart as one would be to utilize Striker Blue's gear they just didn't have anyone capable. Deus-X had this problem and so Deus-X knew what they needed to do. After years spend reproducing the Dezera's Genebreeder technology Deus-X scientists and engineers produced a mentally enhanced human. Four years passed and after his birth so to say the lead scientist Michelle Vaughn adopted Johann, and began to see how capable his learning skills were. At four Johann's was reading at a fifth grade level and he spoke english as if he was ten. Even at his young age Johann knew what was right from wrong and was able to study, play, and be trained with the other future Strikengers.

Johann's skills in reading, technology, problem solving, and even fighting were excellent. When it came to martial arts Johann was able to dissect every move from which muscles were being moved to even how to counter them. When it came to technology Johann was a expert for he was able to read binary, and with this skill Johann became almost like a human computer. Johann could hack anything necessary and sometimes even being able to persuade technology to make their defense systems more vulnerable. With all his time spent inside labs and with no elongated periods of time spent outside Johann's skin was deeply pale. Not only that but Johann's eyes were his only deformity for they were lime green, and his pupils were more like a cat's. Johann's personality seems to be like a know it all, because that is what he is. Johann's reading abilities made skimming through a book to others reading for him, because to Johann five hundred pages was only ten minutes. Johann tends to be sarcastic and even though he knows the people he's trained with are his only friends and allies he tends to point their weaknesses out which seems kind because he thinks that it is helping them, but truly he is seen as a prick.

With the Strikenger gears being completed Johann was assigned Striker blue's gear for it was the only true reason he was born. Johann was only seventeen and yet this burden was thrown upon him. It was no true issue for Johann because of what would happen if he didn't accept his duties. The time to fight was now and the know it all knew he was the only one who could stand the burden even though he was so young. Finding out all of his friends became Strikengers truly made him feel like not only were the Strikenger a force of people who knew one another, but they were his family.
 
Name: Sommer Abendroth

Age: 18

Designation: Striker Violet

Appearance:
2321780-zaie.gif


Gear: Striker Brace, Striker Pistol

Weapons: Heat Drill, Grenade Hurler, Striker Mines

Bio: Sommer was born in one of the few free enclaves of humanity in what used to be Germany in the year 2061. Life was harsh for Sommer, especially since her mother died in childbirth and her father was lost to a Dezaras patrol. Thankfully for her, the community she was in decided to take care of her instead of throwing her out, and she lived with them until about 2068, when a Dezaras patrol finally found their enclave and intended to enslave the populace there. The enclave put up what fight they could, but most were killed or were carted off by the Dezaras. As for Sommer, she was left all alone in the now deserted area, having been able to get away by hiding under the corpse of who essentially was her foster father.

She lived in that desolate area for about two weeks before a Deus-X squad arrived to search for any survivors. It had taken the Dezaras a good amount of time to find the place, so it was only natural that Deus-X would have had a little trouble to find it as well. When they found Sommer, she was sent to Freehaven, with the original intent to put her in foster care of another family. However, Nathaniel Grey had seen the report on Sommer, how she was able to survive in a dead village for two weeks and attained guardianship of her, to train her up to use a Striker Suit. There was a hurdle to climb though, and that was her mental state. Witnessing the deaths of those she held dear and having to survive in such a place made her mentally and emotionally unstable.

Instead of outright curing it though, Nathaniel thought it would actually be something to harness and put the young girl through mental conditioning and the like to basically set up a trigger inside her. Once she was given the code word "toten" (kill in german), her outright hate and malice toward the Dezaras would be amplified, basically turning her into a controlled berserker that would go after Dezaras soldiers, but not her own teammates. On the other hand "ruhig" (calm in german) would settle her down and get her out of that state. This state does cause her a lot of mental stress, so she usually passes out after the calm codeword is spoken. It is for this reason that it is really only used when the situation is dire. After the mental conditioning, she was better behaved and went through the training with the Striker suits, eventually being assigned the Violet gear.

Since Nathaniel Grey is her legal guardian, she is kind of like a sister to Talyn and was told by Nathaniel of Talyn's origins, so she wouldn't attack him when her codeword was set off. She doesn't hold any grudge against him, however, and gets along with him rather well, though has been told not to reveal to Talyn on what he really is. As for her personality, she is approachable and can be talked to, but it is best to not question or bring up her past, since that was a rather difficult part of her life. When the codeword is activated, her thoughts are obsessed with killing Dezaras troops and it is very hard to hold a normal conversation with her. As for her choice of clothing, it is just something that she hasn't been able to shake off since she couldn't find much clothes after her enclave was attacked.

Name: Crystal Paige

Age: 18

Designation: Striker Yellow

Appearance:
RinoaX2holyshitshelookshot.png


Gear: Striker Brace, Strike Pistol

Weapons: Distortion Claw, Blackout Projector

Bio: At around the same time Nathaniel Grey was putting forth into motion his plans for the creation of Strikenger, such as development of the gears, as well as training potential users of the gear, a smaller resistance force in another enclave existed. This force, though not as well-equipped as Deus-Ex, has been comprised of members of the enclave that managed to hide in the shadows, and were determined for sure to topple the rule of the Dezaras, starting with the enclave they existed in. The group, known as "Spartan", performed fly-by-night, hit-and-run tactics that picked off the Dezaras one at a time. Such tactics worked well for Spartan, thanks in part to the efforts of a courageous young girl known as Crystal Paige, whose small frame at the time allowed her to squeeze into spaces that were big enough only for her, and in the Enclave, such spaces provided vantage points for Crystal. This allowed her to report the positions of the Dezaras in real time from the safety of whatever vantage point she had to fellow members of Spartan. Such tactics worked so well for the group, that they nearly succeeded. Except all that came to a crashing end.

During one mission, Crystal, then a 10-year old girl, would perform her duties as usual in what would be Spartan's final mission ever. As she reported the positions to her comrades, instead of hearing the usual replies, such as "Copy that", she started to hear the blood curdling screams of her comrades. Scared and confused as to what went on, Crystal would find her answer in the form of a small Dezara contingency that confronted her on the roof, finding their locations through the use of the same radio channels they used to conduct ambushes on various Dezaras. Knowing that she was going to die if she did not do a thing, Crystal attempted to escape her potential captors. Though managing to evade her captors, she did not escape unscathed, as a shot from one of the Dezaras' weapons hit her on the shoulder. Bleeding profusely on the shoulder, she attempted to walk to the only place she could turn to for help -- Freehaven. Before she could even get halfway to Freehaven, she passed out due to an immense loss of blood. Fortunately for her, Nathaniel Grey, who received word of the existence of Spartan, managed to find her, the lone surviving member of the group. Thanks to the efforts of both Nathaniel Grey and a team of doctors, Crystal manages to not only survive, but also make a full recovery.

Since that day Nathaniel Grey found her half-dead on the halfway point, Crystal has since accepted Nathaniel's offer for her to join Strikenger, knowing that among those being trained, she has combat experience, even though it was indirect and mostly in regards to helping Spartan in a tactical sense by being their eyes and ears. As such, Crystal accepted the role set for her as Striker Yellow, and trained diligently to fit the role

Bio:

The daughter of the Striker Suit’s creator Len Solei and Ellie Solei was raised in their time of turmoil by a loving and caring man. Emma does not have any memories of her mother as Ellie passed away shortly giving birth. To fill this void her father would take time away from his work to show Emma not only what she look like, but explaining to his child the type of person she was in general by stories, photos and old home videos. Her father would often remark how Emma was the spitting image her late mother.

The bond between father and daughter did not waver far after Len was sought to help construction of the Strikenger’s suit and often hovered over him dotingly as he worked. Emma had taken on the responsibilities looking after her father when she became older by making certain that he had enough sleep and warm food. Often Emma would assist her father at times by asking how she could be of further help to the project, which made him feel even more prouder. Unfortunately Len would soon come to face losing another loved one.

Emma had been sent to retrieve few needed essential for home when the Dezaras caught on rumors of her father’s activities. Believing that she would lead them to the resistance cornered Emma in the middle of the city. Even when facing an onslaught of torture by her captures Emma refused to tell them anything. As a message Emma was killed in the middle square. This loss nearly sent Len into near madness. Not wanting to lose his only child dabbed in cloning the daughter stolen from him by those monsters. The clone was not to have any memory her untimely death was unsuccessful and retain the last few moments. When approached her father claim these memories are false and created by nightmares force upon them. Emma knows differently and vows never to see another person hurt.
