From Chaos Comes Order [Accepting Profiles; Not Yet Started]

[Zahzi]

Humanity has many common traits that they rarely come to fix on their own volition.

Humankind is very adept at making mistakes.
On August 18th, 2041, at exactly 9:26 A.M., a team of scientists unleashed upon the world an Event, known only as 'The Incident'.
The very Earth shook as an unknown energy source was set free. The energy known now as the 'Helios Strand', seeped across the globe at an alarming rate.

For one hour, the entire planet was covered in a bright, glowing fog.

While no one was killed in 'The Incident', lives were changed completely.
The 'Helios Strand' only affected ten percent of the human population.

This ten percent took on an evolution completely unheard of outside of fiction.
Strength, Speed, Flight. Only the tip of the iceberg of what changed with these people.
And not one person was the same as the next.

Humans will almost always fear what they cannot, and will never bother to understand.

Almost one year after 'The Incident', those left unchanged by the 'Helios Strand', while in admiration of the great deeds done by the 'Helios-Afflicted', they were also appalled and horrified by the transgressions done by those who were less-than responsible with their new talents.

Thus, a single organization was made, Afflicted, and Unafflicted alike.
'Order'.
An attempt to rally support from those with pure hearts, as well as to preform the job of detaining those with evil intent.
And for awhile, it did its part, making the world a normal place.

But with new blood, new ideas stir. More than twenty years have past since 'The Incident', and 'Order' has become something...Different.

It has become a tool to be used by its newest chairmen, Clive Harvey, in his own envisioned state of 'Order'.

The Afflicted are now rounded up like cattle, and are given two choices, Obey or Die.
The Unafflicted, while mostly left alone, are commonly brought up seeing any Afflicted not apart of 'Order' as a parasite who needs to be put down.

Little hope stands for anyone who thinks differently.

The Human Race only truly understands the concept of Strife, and War.

The year is 2065. Conflict has found its way to 'Order', as a new Organization appeared overnight.
As if in spite, it was named 'Chaos'.

Their very discovery first appeared with a note nailed into the window of the Chairmen's Office.

"Dogs of Order.
Embrace the Coming of
Chaos."

Very little is known about this new Organization, save that many Afflicted unaffiliated with 'Order' flock to it.

And it is clear neither Organization will ever know peace while the other exists.
Much blood has already been spilt on both sides. 'Order' will kill any even suspected of being affiliated with 'Chaos', and 'Chaos' seems to have ways of infiltrating 'Order' to the point of attempted assassinations of the Chairmen.
Five have already occurred.

ORDER

The majority of the information on Order is accessible to nearly anyone.
Only certain bits of information require clearance high above that of a civilian.

Most Staff of Order go by rank and last name, much like any Military would do.

The Chairmen, Clive Harvey, is seen as a Philanthropist, who wishes only for the benefit of mankind. Whether or not it is just an act, and he's using it to manipulate the General Public as well as the Organization, or if he's true to his ideals but going at it in an odd way is uncertain.

Order has many Bases of Operations. One in almost every major Country worldwide. Their Headquarters is stationed New York, New York.

The estimated number of Order Operatives exceeds that of Fifteen-Thousand as of the last Census; Only 30% are Afflicted now. All others Unafflicted Soldiers.

All procedures used by Order are deemed 'Necessary'. Nothing more is ever permitted to the Public.

Most Order Operatives wear a Uniform White and Black uniform in order to stand out in crowds.

Badges, ID's, Crests, etc. reveal one's affiliation with Order. All Identification is revealed by the Emblem above.

CHAOS

All information on Chaos is sketchy at best.

Most operatives go under Code-Names, referring to their abilities.

All that is known about the Leader is his Code-Name; Overwatch.

Their Base of Operation's location is unknown.

Their exact number of members is unknown.

Their methods of attacking Order range from stealth, to full-scale war, yet never involve the innocent (One thing that infuriates the Chairmen of Order to no end. The General Public is on the fence.).

Operatives of Chaos wear no sort of Uniform, as it gives Order something to gun for, and because it adds more spite towards their enemy.

How they can identify each other without any sort of identification is still a mystery. There are no Code Words, no Objects signifying it on their person, nothing.

The above Emblem was attached to the note, and has become the only face of the Organization.

Technology

Technology has gone a long way since they Twenty-First Century.

One of the most drastic changes is in Transportation and Fuel.
In an order to keep up with Afflicted capable of flight, and due to the discovery of a new type of renewable fuel derived from Thorium, literal flying cars are capable.
Speed of these vehicles tend to remain at the same as they had been in the 21st Century, as to keep accidents at a minimum.



Military Strength has also been upgraded to counter the power of the Afflicted.
While still not capable of taking on vast numbers of experienced Afflicted, an Unafflicted soldier can now fight at a more-equal level due to 'Titan' suits.
Their size ranges from humanoid-sized to that of a large tank.

•Username: Zahzi.
•Name: Commander 'Weiss'.
•Gender: Male.
•Age: 43.
•Afflicted/Unafflicted? (If Afflicted, include ability.): Unafflicted.
•Affiliation: Order.
•Appearance: Weiss.
•Background: Little is known about this man, as all records of him from Order are almost entirely blacked out.
What is known is that he was chosen to be apart of a new experiment to combat against hostile Afflicted called the 'Juggernaut' Program, which dealt with a prototype Titan suit capable of 'adaptation'.

The name 'Weiss' comes from the suit's near-solid white appearance.
•Extra: Known as the 'Hammer of Order', Weiss commands his own group of soldiers to aid him on the front lines.
He cares little for the welfare of others, including other Order Soldiers, and will not hesitate to execute any who deviate from the orders of the Chairman.

•Name: Jake Wolffe
•Gender: Male
•Age: 26
•Afflicted/Unafflicted? (If Afflicted, include ability.): Afflicted: Can phase through objects and make those he’s in contact with as well.
•Affiliation: Order
•Appearance: Jake
•Background: Jake came from a family of three, living with his father and brother up until he turned eighteen. For a long while he lived on his own with his brother before they split ways; his unafflicted brother joining the order while he used his skills to gather information and items for others. It wasn’t much but it paid the bills. After a few years his brother found him to recruit him to the order, and on a whim, he accepted. Not long after joining his brother was killed on a mission but he still stuck with it, figuring it was what his brother would have wanted.
•Extra: Jake still has a few friend from when he was an informant and goes to them from time to time to hear about the latest rumors, though nowadays he doesn’t contribute much given his current job. While he can phase though objects he is unable to phase through people.

Operatives of Chaos

•Username: Zahzi.
•Name: James Campbell. Codename: 'Overwatch.'
•Gender: Male.
•Age: 36.
•Afflicted/Unafflicted? (If Afflicted, include ability.): Afflicted; Capable of assuming control of nearby technology.
•Affiliation: Chaos.
•Appearance: James.
•Background: James was born seventeen years prior to 'The Incident', and grew up among a more 'Fenced' population, in that while many despised the afflicted, there were also a good amount that treated them as equals. This gave him the knowledge that people can be both good and bad, allowing him to tolerate the hateful ones.

When of age, he even joined Order, back when it was a much more agreeable organization. But, as the years continued, and the new Chairmen was found, the once-glorious group soured, and he left, but not before wiping the entire database Order had of all known Afflicted.

After a year of hiding, James returned with his own Organization, 'Chaos'. While nowhere near as large Order, Chaos is dominantly afflicted, and filled to the brim with those whose lives have been altered due to Order.
•Extra: While technically the 'leader' of Chaos, James was never one to sit back on the sidelines unless there was a clear reason. It has also been proven on many occasions his comrades are more important than the success of whatever is in front of them.

•Username: Zahzi.
•Name: Jarid Caymen. Codename: 'Gunny'
•Gender: Male.
•Age: 26.
•Afflicted/Unafflicted? (If Afflicted, include ability.): No.
•Affiliation: Chaos.
•Appearance: Jarid.
•Background: Jarid comes from a family whose history in the military was long as it was bloody, so him enlisting as a soldier to Order at the age of twenty was no big surprise.
While he was in Order, he established relations with two different people.
Weiss, as the 'The Asshat', and James as 'The Bro'.
He held onto his duties for six years in service with the only demerits coming from Weiss (Shocking) due to his lack of following his orders to the letter.
To better fight against his enemies, back when that term was simple, he needed a Titan Suit. This was where James showed up, as normally the Suits were just built on parts. The one Jarid was given had been 'tinkered' with by James to see if his powers could help at all.
Because of the tinkering, he was able to work out any flaws and increase output without adding input, or as Jarid viewed it, 'Sciency Magic'.
Not only had Jarid been the one to help with his suit, the two were also in the same Order Unit under Weiss' command.
Neither of them got along with their CO...
When Order began to sour, he remained after James left for a few years, until Chaos appeared. Seeing as Weiss was making every attempt to either discharge him or worse, he defected on the battlefield.
•Extra: Jarid is one of the very few Unafflicted that works for Chaos on the battlefield. Albeit, before he switched sides, he 'forgot' to return his Titan Suit.
He seems to have a tangent for unpredictable behavior when either bored or put off...Both happen a lot...

•Username: cptflint
•Name: Jestilla
•Gender: female
•Age: 23
•Afflicted/Unafflicted? (If Afflicted, include ability.): Afflicted. Unstable and barely controllable psychic abilities in all flavors.
•Affiliation: Chaos
•Appearance: Jestilla
•Background: Jestilla's mother was 4 months pregnant when the incident happened and both of her parent's ended up afflicted with similar, but controllable powers. When she was born they didn't think she was afflicted, right up until she turned 13.

Order had finally tracked down their family. Before they could be dragged out of their home Jestilla lost control. In a blind rage she destroyed the house and everyone inside, including her parents. The remaining order forces outside found her passed out in the ruble.

The next eight years of her life were spent learning to control her emotions and powers with some success. On top of regular sessions see was trained to be an assassin. She learned incredibly quickly. Her ability to read surface thoughts on top her her own intelligence allowed her to learn another person's skills incredibly fast. The skills she was given combined with her powers helped her thwart the multiple attempts on the chairman's life.

Order tried to keep her sheltered from the media to keep her under control but you can't hide much from a psychic. Eventually she escaped the compound and very quickly found some people from Chaos. Had she not left when she did Order might have had an easier time finding Chaos had they sent her walking around in the streets.

•Extra: Her powers aren't very strong when she is in a stable mood there are simply divers. She can lift and throw about five pounds, read surface thoughts from a few feet away, predict the next few seconds accurately, and sense human life from half a mile away and know their location if she focuses on one life sign for a few seconds. She uses these in combination with the skills given to destroy her enemies. When upset, angry, or under stress her telekinetic powers spike and unleash indiscriminately. She has yet to have an incident while with Chaos.

Neutral Party

•Username: Zahzi.
•Name: Mistwalker Morris.
•Gender: Male.
•Age: Unknown.
•Afflicted/Unafflicted? (If Afflicted, include ability.): Yes.; 'Mistwalking': His body can break apart and disappear without a trace, leaving him in a smoke-like form. This can be used for either infiltration, escape, and, on a few occasions, a very unpleasant way to meet your maker..
Shooting when he's dissipating seems to have no affect.
His power also seems to be able to affect his appearance as well, as his normal attire seems to be a fabrication.
•Affiliation: None. Prefers to be in it for himself.
•Appearance: Morris.
•Background: Moris' appearance, and very existence for that matter, came to be known within only a few months. Showing no allegiance to either side, he has little stake in the matter in front of the world's changing times, yet has a certain desire in seeing to the spoils.
All that can be pieced together for his background goes off speculation, mainly believing him to hail from the UK, due to his attire and accent...And his theatrics...
•Extra: Morris has a more than irrational penchant tendency for the Theatrical, making interacting with him a very odd person to interact with, if you are even capable of it.....
•Theme (Optional): Renegade.
•Quote (Optional): "Mistwalker Morris, at your service! Thief, Assassin, PLAYBOY!"

•Username: SoujiAtsumi
•Name: Christopher Pact
•Gender: Male
•Age: 12
•Afflicted/Unafflicted? (If Afflicted, include ability.): Afflicted: Can cause temporary paralysis when eye contact is made.
•Affiliation: Mostly loyal to Morris, he gave him a home.
•Appearance: Chris
•Background: Chris was raised in the circus; though he was ignored for the most part until they found out he had an affinity with snakes. After that was learned he was deemed the circus’ snake charmer and went from sleeping on the ground to sleeping in the snake habitat, which was merely a small housing space for the snakes surrounded by four pieces of wood to keep them inside covered by a tarp. He didn’t mind the change though, at least he had his friends to keep him warm and company, if he ever needed anything it was easy for him to climb out of the pin to get it himself. Things were well enough like this, well they were until one of the poisonous snakes attacked the ring master one day when he was yelling at Chris. Afraid of what might happen if the others found out he took the man’s keys, freed his friends, and then ran off.
Things were a bit of a blur after that, he scrounged to survive on the streets until he found an odd man by the name of Morris.
•Extra: Not being used to human contact he dislikes being touched. Any time he goes out he wraps his face in bandages in case anyone is looking for him, like the police or angry circus people. He knows how to use knives for defense.
