I-Spy || Carnificem

World Setting

• Post modern dystopia, cyber-enhanced society run by money and influence
• 13 major corporations run the world, destroying everything and everyone in pursuit of lining their pockets
• The dregs of society (those who are not affluent) are left to fight for scraps and make mundane, cursed lives under the neon lights of their autocrats

Local Setting

• Faex Terram lies beneath it all in the deepest recesses—hiding the most disgusting ilk of society
• The city of Altitudo Aurea, the upper levels tower above that of the majority of the population
• Media-Urbe Profundis (Middle Town Depths) is where some targets of interest live such as brand models, low ranking executives, and B-list celebrities
• Companies have hidden enforcers they call “Reconstructed”
• Reconstructed are cyborgs and can be almost entirely augmentations with only their internal organs remaining inside their robotic shells
• Companies own their Reconstructed

Faex Venari

• Also called the “Dreg Hunt”
• Corporations unleash their “Reconstructed” to collect the value from the dregs of society
• Dregs (people) are collected to be used in “profitable service”

Background Being born in Terram was a curse to most, but a blessing in disguise to the wicked few. The biggest, meanest, and generally the strongest survived down there away from the view of the corporations. Gavin did the same in his younger years, but that was before he had learned the hard way what strength was. It was disgusting—taking what you wanted from whoever crossed your path. Being beaten to a pulp over scraps wasn’t something Gavin was willing to subject himself to forever until he perished. The first time he saw a reconstructed person was the first time he knew what he wanted to be—the pinnacle, standing above the rest of these fools. He didn’t know what happened or the details. All he knew was that he needed to be one of them, to taste that power. Unlike other companies who collected for sport, the depths of Terram held a place to perform to Blink Manufacturing.

Gavin threw himself face first into the thick of the battles, not knowing if he was going to make it out alive. Against the odds, he did—like a bloodied beast, he towered over his foes and demanded his place among the reconstructed. Blink granted it and secured his loyalty so long as he could lord over others. The pain didn’t matter. Gavin wanted to be reborn, so the technicians at Blink destroyed him and replaced his weak matter with something far stronger and granted him a new name (Carnificem) to complete his rebirth.

Personality and Habits

• Archetype: Crazed Pursuer
• Carnificem only cares about one thing: power. He never wants to be without it again now that he has it. No matter what it takes, no matter who stands in his way—he will do as he pleases and as his employer desires. They allow him great freedom, and in return, they get to test their prototypes without waiting for a scheduled Faex Venari. Carnificem will rip, tear, and relish in the terror he instills in others, especially in those stupid enough to piss off the directors at Blink Manufacturing. Travelling to the ends of the earth, or even hell itself, is no obstacle to Carnificem’s wants.
• Tags: ruthless, violent, manic, arrogant, prideful, competent, vicious, focused.

Behavior:

• When Happy: Carnificem will smile and laugh whenever something makes him happy.
• When Sad: Sadness? There isn’t time to be sad when there are toys to test!
• When Angry: Carnificem’s anger is quiet, building like a tsunami before he destroys.

Traits:

• Arrogant: Carnificem is better than everyone and he knows it, so long as he stands above the common man, none shall topple his ego.
• Violent: Terram had a way of beating any kindness out of the living, so to live Carnificem became what he needed to be to survive.
