Kido"Kidd"Briar » "No more Counting down the Hours // No more Wishing you were Here" « "You say that, but forgetting isn't so simple." Yoko_Matsubishi  Who am I? ⋙ STARTUP
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ My name Is ⇢ Briar Tarrif Kido You can call Me ⇢ Briar, Kidd, Kido...they're all interchangeable. When publicly opposing society he goes by the name "Trekker". Just a Number ⇢ 19 Nuts & Bolts⇢ Male Keep Swinging⇢ Bi-Sexual ⋙ REWIND
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Different then You ⇢ At first glance, Briar seems just as dull and colorless as the world in which he lives, but in reality this nineteen year old is a multitude of contradictions and circumstances, and posesses a personality possibly more colorful then anyone's else's; it's all in how deep you're willing to dig. Quiet and at times seemingly apathetic, most people would tell you not to bother making friends with, or so much as trying to engage in friendly conversation with Briar, and for the better part of the time it's a safe bet he won't want anything to do with you not because he's cruel, but because for the most part Briar isn't very good with social interactions outside a very few, specific people, such as his younger sister who he cares for more then most. Despite this, it isn't right to say he's completely incapable of being friendly; in fact, depending on the situation he can be one of the kindest, most reliable and hardworking individuals you'll ever meet. Briar possesses a spark that many would deem as rare, and genuinely wants the world to change for the better; he values his freedom and so long as his actions don't damage his rather easilly moved moral compass he'll do anything necessary to accomplish his goals; this can oftentimes lead to his being so absorbed in his "projects" that it's impossible to talk to him, and by no means is he perfect since he snaps and gets angry rather quickly if questioned or tied down, but his heart and thoughts are in the right place, and he knows it. Wheather or not others understand him as well is always up for debate, but having spent a good portion of his life flying solo, Briar isn't about to change himself anytime soon.
Hitting Rewind ⇢ Briar was born the first child of his family into a world that had already been going through the process of unification for many years after the first end of the world; as such his parents were, and still are to this day, deeply embroiled in and completely for society's idea of peace and fairness at all times which is the way Briar was originally raised. For a long time Briar thought the same way as everyone else did, had no problem with living out his life on a day to day basis the same way as everyone else. That was before his sixteenth birthday. The day he discovered color. It was just for a brief second, a moment in time when Briar witnessed a lawbreaker being hauled off to the machine, hair streaked with something so strange and wonderful he was unable to fully comprehend exactly what it was; after a friend informed him it was called blue he inevitably fell in love with the idea of color, of questioning society and wondering what exactly a world could be like if it wasn't living in one shade of grey. This desire to change, to make a difference, is what inspired a then seventeen year old Briar to create the HAXRS; at first it was just a small little vendetta and Briar and his younger sister were the only members, but after recieving secret, underground sponsorship for his graffitti art and rebellious ways, HAXRS became something more then that. It became a revolution.
Since then, Briar has devoted his life and free time to the cause; noticed a splash of color on a back wall? Been hearing about the police being given trouble? Thank the HAXRS. True, it hasn't been easy; Briar's had to hide his life from his parents and their relationship has deteriorated rather unfortunately, and recently his younger sister has lost her spark and color thanks to the rules of society, but he isn't about to give up. To make the world shine again, he'll work until he dies trying.
That which Divides Us ⇢ HAXRS
Peices ⇢ Leader of the HAXRS
I can do it Better ⇢ Like most of his rebellion, Briar has at the very least some rudimentary knowledge of parkour, and his slim build allows him to slip through tight spaces without much issue, but his intelligence is where he really shines; Briar has his hands in every raid, every movement the HAXRS make, and he usually manages to be one step ahead of the enemy at all times.
Don't leave Home ⇢ When he's not leading the Resistance Briar doesn't really carry much on him...maybe a book or a notepad but that's about it. When on the job he always has his gasmask, at least one swiss army knife and a belt that carries a variety of spray paint cans. His hoverboard is well constructed for it coming from a scrap heap, and built for speedy escapes. ⋙ COOLDOWN
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Pass the Time ⇢ Reading, sleeping, drawing and making graffitti art (also known as spray painting any and everything). I'll have Another ⇢ Realism, forward-thinkers, his younger sister and the few friends he has. Briar inhales soda like it's water, and loves cats though he's fine with big dogs. Musically he doesn't really have a preference as long as it's loud and rebellious, and he values his freedom above all else. Have to Pass ⇢ Being told what to do, being touched by most people, PLOT4, the Machine and this whole unification nonsense. Expect him to cover any plain grey wall or building he sees with bright, obtrusive colors; he really can't stand looking at plain monochromatics. (Thanks to his experiences with the dullness of society, if prevented somehow from using color he'll have a panic attack) Replay Always ⇢ California 37 // Train
You should know Better // Andy Grammar Under the Bed ⇢ Haphephobia (Fear of being Touched, only overriden by his younger sister), Fear of Conformity. Thinking of You ⇢ ...Feh. Forgetful, Much? ⇢ Has a rather tempermental cat named Mary Blue, who has become the unofficial mascot of the Neon Cat bar; she scratches him a lot, but Briar doesn't really seem to mind it much. Childhood friends with Marina; he comes to all her street performances.

Kasane"Mari"Marina » "It's good to let you in Again // You're not alone in how you've Been" « "Do we not all have the freedom to choose?" Yoko_Matsubishi  No longer Afraid ⋙ STARTUP
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ My name Is ⇢ Marina Gabrielle Kasane You can call Me ⇢ Mari, Rin, Gabby, etc. Just a Number ⇢ 18 Nuts & Bolts⇢ Female Keep Swinging⇢ Heterosexual ⋙ REWIND
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Different then You ⇢ A sharp and quick witted study, Marina is a generally kind and friendly if not fairly reserved persona; she's quick to reach out to those she cares for, and equally at home with avoiding those she can't get along with. In the public eye Marina tends to be rather quiet and she doesn't say much, only speaking when spoken to and in always the most polite turn of phrase possible, and while she's entirely capable of being genuine in that respect, it's rarely who she actually is. On her better days Marina could be described as a tomboy when around those she cares for, those she can express herself honestly around; she can keep up with the roughest members of the group and posesses a well bred sense of humor that though ocassionally dry can make even the must hardened person snort or giggle in amusement. Her spirit burns bright and she truely beleives in the goals she sets out for herself; once she settles on a decision it's near impossible to deter her, but she's always willing to help the team before herself. Because of how much of herself she has to hide away to fit in Marina may at times appear to be secretive, but be honest with her, and she'll be respectful and kind to you in return; it's not hard to form an easygoing relationship with her. Very difficult to make angry..but watch your step and avoid saying anything you might regret.
Hitting Rewind ⇢ Growing up in a world where things are lifeless and dull, Marina was privellaged to one thing and one thing only; innocence. Her parents worked honest, in line jobs and for a long time, the only things Marina worried about was doing well in school and avoiding the wrath of PLOT4; she didn't know any different, that there was a world she would have never imagined, and for a while she was completely fine with it...until she met a very strange boy with a vivid imagination named Briar at the age of twelve. At first Marina didn't much like him; after all, what sort of person keeps to themselves, mutturing and staring off into space? Turns out Briar was exactly what she needed, and from the moment she found him holed up back behind the schoolyard mixing paints, they formed a friendship that to this day has lasted years. It was Briar who introduced her to the shock to the senses known as color by getting his hands on non modified blueberries, and that was all well and good, sure. But music...one look at what the quiet boy described to be a piano and Marina was in deep. Who knew that one instrument could make so many sounds, hold so many possibilities? In the years that followed, Briar taught Marina many things; he taught her the rainbow, and how to sing songs other then those praising the unification of the world. And then suddenly, he wasn't around so much.
It wasn't until a good few years later that Marina ran into Briar again, down on her luck and afraid; after her parents had discovered her songbooks they had shredded them to peices, punished her for being different. But in the middle of that street, surrounded by nothingness, Briar gave her hope again. He spoke of the group known as the HAXRS, promised a new, brighter future, and just like that Marina found herself happy again, for the first time in many months. The offer to join is still up in the air..not that she's sure she'll be taking it.
That which Divides Us ⇢ NEUTRAL..though she posesses some of the same ideas as the Resistance.
Peices ⇢ Singer
I can do it Better ⇢ (Special Skills/Talents/Abilities)
Don't leave Home ⇢ Marina's backpack holds anything she might need, but it's mostly for hiding her sheet music and song book; if society found out she was trying to be even remotely different she'd be sent away to the machine. She started recently carrying small paint capsules around in there too...just to try them out. ⋙ COOLDOWN
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Pass the Time ⇢ Singing and writing music; she's not all that great with instruments but Briar likes to joke she can play a piccolo with the best of them. I'll have Another ⇢ (Likes) Have to Pass ⇢ (Dislikes) Replay Always ⇢ Bruises // Train ft. Ashley Monroe
Rolling Girl // Hatsune Miku Under the Bed ⇢ Marina has severe arachnophobia, though she deals with it by immediatly killing every single spider she comes across in the most violent way possible instead of screaming about it. She worries greatly for the existing members of the HAXRS that she knows, especially Briar. Thinking of You ⇢ N/A Forgetful, Much? ⇢ Despite her lack of involvement in HAXRS, she is Briar's childhood friend; he comes to all her street concerts and she sings him songs that tell it like it is. She dyed her hair green officially a few years back, but keeps it pinned up under a blonde wig.UC

Fujimaru"Koi"Rihan » I am the canvas you paint with // I am the can that holds dirty water this time « "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but if all eyes see the same thing, where is the beauty in that?"Hunter Crawl  You won't see this pretty face any more... ⋙ STARTUP
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ My name Is ⇢ Rihan Fujimaru You can call Me ⇢ Friends call him Ri, close friends call him Koi, but his HAXRS name is Scorpio. Just a Number ⇢ Nineteen Nuts & Bolts⇢ Male Keep Swinging⇢ Pansexual⋙ REWIND
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Different then You ⇢ Koi is a very outgoing person, and even his close call with the Machine has yet to make him shy away from his duty as a HAXRS. Of course, he wasn't always this way. Before, he had only been a secret supporter of the HAXRS and was a shy, quiet individual. He was always a bit of a clutz, and was awkward and wrong because he could never express himself. After joining the HAXRS, he was able to open up a little more and do what he wanted to do, so he became loud and willful, not afraid to express his own feelings anymore. He's easy to get along with, and very loyal. He's probably one of the nicest HAXRS you'll ever meet, and it's quite difficult to get him riled up. Anyone who succeeds in making him angry is very pitiful indeed. Sure, he can get irritated at times, he's not perfect after all; but it's easy to make up with him if that ever happens.
Hitting Rewind ⇢ Koi was born into a family who had conformed to the ways of the society, and though Koi was naturally a different individual, he was forced to become like everyone else. He was surprised they didn't start hacking away at people's legs just for being too tall. He had a younger sister, the only person he would ever love in his whole family, but she was a very sickly child and he hardly got to see her at all. He heard about the HAXRS a while later, and admired them for their difference and longed to join them. But his family was strict, and he had his sister to think about. But then his sister died of a disease when she was much too young and Koi didn't really think when he started forgetting that the society preferred conformity. He befriended a girl who was a next door neighbor, and for a time he was happy again. That was, until he started sharing his ideas about the HAXRS. She pretended to listen to him, and agree with him, but when the chance came she sold him out and they caught him wearing shoes of different colors. What else could Koi do but run?
And that's when he really stumbled on the HAXRS. Briar was the first person Koi had met, and saved his life, literally. Koi was offered a place with the HAXRS, and Koi, having nothing else to lose, took the offer without hesitation. He quickly learned what life was like being part of the HAXRS resistance and wondered why he never ran away in the first place after his sister's death. He could no longer show his face in public of course, but it was a small price to pay. He met Adaline there, who reminded him of his own little sister, and the three of them (him, Ada, and Briar) became very close. But then Ada was caught on a trip (and Koi suspects a snitch) and was sent to the Machine. She was never the same again, and Koi is eternally grateful that Briar had saved him when he did. The incident with Ada only brought him closer to the siblings, and he looked after Ada alongside Briar when he knew that no one else would.
That which Divides Us ⇢ HAXRS
Peices ⇢ Second in Command
I can do it Better ⇢ Rihan is good at getting to those high up places where everyone can see but few can reach. It's useful, because then he can climb up to billboards and taller buildings to advertise the HAXRS to the world. He also does parkour and knows a little bit about self-defense.
Don't leave Home ⇢ A multitude of spray cans and hair dye, two or three small knives, a custom hoverboard that he's rather proud of (even though it appears kind of rickety it's really fast), and a paint cannon (though he doesn't usually carry this one around). ⋙ COOLDOWN
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Pass the Time ⇢ Coloring the world, pissing off PLOT4 I'll have Another ⇢ Lots and lots of color, candy, racing others on his Hoverboard, being spontaneous Have to Pass ⇢ PLOT4, the Machine, monochromatic things, following a schedule, the Endorphin Tower. Replay Always ⇢ You Know That Ain't Them Dogs' Real Voices Under the Bed ⇢ Fear of being caught and put into the machine, fear of forgetting himself, fear of losing the people close to him.Thinking of You ⇢ He used to be in love with this one NEUTRAL girl, but she turned out to be working for PLOT4 and sold him out. He might have a bit of a crush on Briar, but it's not like it's anything serious....he thinks. Forgetful, Much? ⇢ N/A

Kido"Ada"Adaline » Where to go I had no idea // Twenty six ten was the price to pay « "As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the flame of love with words." Hunter Crawl  I used to be... ⋙ STARTUP
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ My name Is ⇢ Adaline Kido You can call Me ⇢ Just Ada, but only Briar and Koi are allowed to call her that. Her HAXRS name used to be "Candy" but it's been a long while since she's used it. Just a Number ⇢ Seventeen Nuts & Bolts⇢ Female Keep Swinging⇢ Hetero - Straight⋙ REWIND
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Different then You ⇢ Ada is a very reserved person. She's painfully shy around anyone who isn't her brother or Koi, and it's very rare to hear her say anything. The only person whose ever heard her voice on a daily basis is Briar. She's naturally a very compassionate person; something that brought about her downfall but also something that she can't bring herself to get rid of easily. She's always been an amiable person, and this can be easily seen as she had befriended her brother's temperamental cat, Mary Blue, and is one of the few that the cat will not scratch often. She's very morally driven, and refuses to do things that go against her morality, which was why she joined up on the HAXRS in the first place. She's sweet and kind, and very forgiving. Before she was put through the Machine, she was outgoing and loud, in more ways than one. She was a very active and stubborn girl, doing anything and everything to make sure that her brother's cause was heard. But the Machine changed her so much that she doesn't even want to talk about anything else, especially about her time in the Machine, anymore.
Hitting Rewind ⇢ Adaline hadn't always been a quiet person, or a social recluse. Though she was forced to be by the society, inside her always burned a rebellious kind of fire. When Briar formed the HAXRS, it didn't take long for Ada to join. She became one of their most active members, and was actually the first second in command because of her skills. It was through this way that she met Koi, and had her first crush on him. HAXRS was the best thing that had ever happened to her; she was able to open up and express herself like she never could have, and she could tell that it had made Briar happy to be a part of it as well. But her happiness at this point wouldn't last and she would forever be afraid of stepping outside again.
It was something simple; just an incident. They were to go and color a section of town they had never been in before and Ada was the one leading the group. It had been a quick-in-quick-out plan; it had been flawless. But they were found out and Ada chose to sacrifice herself to get the other team members out of there safely. Their lives were worth more than hers, she reckoned; they would be able to continue being HAXRS. She was sentenced to the Machine for much too long and when she came out, she was never the same. She wandered about when she had been let go, too scared to return to the Cat, chased away by people for being a Colorless, until Koi and Briar found her and immediately took her back. She refused to speak or eat for a week, until Briar was able to coax her into functioning normally again. Her brother and friend took care of her as she hid in her room, under the covers, refusing to move even though she could eat properly again. It took her even longer to come out of the room to see everyone else, and months before she was motivated enough to start helping about again. Even in the present, she still has nightmares about the Machine.
That which Divides Us ⇢ HAXRS
Peices ⇢ The Younger Sister
I can do it Better ⇢ Ada is actually a really good artist, but she refuses to pick up a spray can anymore. Now she just helps out with decorating the HQ and keeping it in order. Her skills at escaping were usually depended on when she was still an active member as well, but now she doesn't want anyone to depend on her that way anymore.
Don't leave Home ⇢ Just a knife or two, a locket with a picture of her's and Briar's mother. ⋙ COOLDOWN
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Pass the Time ⇢ Helping out at HQ but avoiding most members at the same time, reading in a quiet corner and drinking cocoa I'll have Another ⇢ Briar, good books, colorful confectioneries, chocolate Have to Pass ⇢ PLOT4, the Machine, colorless, being an albino, being looked down on because she's an albino Replay Always ⇢ Long Distance Call Under the Bed ⇢ Fear of becoming colorblind, fear of the PLOT4, and fear of authority (with the exception of her brother) Thinking of You ⇢ Used to be Koi, but not anymore. She's much to scared to love anyone but herself and her brother. Forgetful, Much? ⇢ N/A

NOIR"candle and lumi"CANDELUS AND ILLUMINATA » With your hands you can change this whole world of yours // Everything that you wish for is in your grasp « "You don`t wear a mask to hide your identity. You do it to protect the ones you love." [ Iced_Chocolatte_Coffee ]  ⋙ STARTUP
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ My name Is ⇢ Candelus Velare Noir // Illuminata Foschia Noir You can call Me ⇢ Candle // Illumi or Lumi - as HAXRS, they are known as Night // Orchid Just a Number ⇢ 17 Nuts & Bolts⇢ Male // Female Keep Swinging⇢ Heterosexual ⋙ REWIND
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Different then You ⇢ Obviously, Candelus is the male while Illuminata is the female counterpart. They`re remarkably smiliar and different at the same time. While both are very mature, they can be rebellious and mischevious. Illuminata always puts up the "proper lady" act and has impeccable manners. A lady-like and friendly figure, you`ll find Illuminata practical and down-to-earth. Illuminata is very neat and precise, and you can count on her to get things done. She`s very easy to get along with, and can tolerate almost anything thrown at her. It`s rare to see Illuminata break that calm and mature aura. She`s more of a peacemaker than a fighter, but is a complete maniac when it comes to colors. Especially purple. Candelus is the very quiet and background type. With a mellow personality, he often stands by the side while his sister takes the spotlight. He is the older of the twins, however. More like a shadow that follows his sister, Candelus observes from a distance. He can be a bit protective of Illuminata. Candelus is very kind and friendly to people that actually go and speak to him, but he`ll keep quiet unless he feels motivated. Compared to his sister, he`s actually more of a fighter than a peacemaker. He doesn`t go as crazy over colors, but Candelus loves the color purple and all its shades and tints. The two of them treasure music and all its various sounds very much.
Hitting Rewind ⇢ Once upon a time, Illuminata and Candelus lived in a normal family, in a normal neighborhood, in a normal society. They were normal people - okay, I lied. Both of the twins were attracted to sound. Specifically, different pitches of sound. They never told their parents of course, because this was not considered normal. Whenever the twins were alone, they`d try to make a different pitch, to string it all together. They were not aware that they were trying to create their own songs. Illuminata grew bolder and bolder, but Candelus was more careful. One day, when they were out (trying to find a private are to create their "songs"), they passed by a man being dragged away to what they would later find out was called the Machine. And the twins stared. They couldn`t identify the...strangeness of how he looked. They couldn`t find a word for it. But it exploded in their faces. Literally. In a last attempt, he had thrown something. It missed the people carrying him away, but it exploded near Candelus and Illuminata, lighting up the ground. They were immediately drawn to how different the...substance was. Illuminata had wanted to smear her finger in it and take it home to treasure, but she didn`t upon seeing the disapproving glares of other people.
Eventually, Illuminata could no longer take it, and asked her parents about the incident. They informed her the man was a lawbreaker, that he was covered in a something called "color", and the "color" they saw was "lavender". Candelus and Illuminata were frightened at first - not only were they fascinated with sound pitches, now they liked colors. It was hardly considered healthy in their society, and they certainly didn`t want to be hauled off to the Machine. Eventually, the heard of HAXRS, and were fascinated with the idea. But their parents certainly were not. The two began to come home later and later, and their parents wondered why. One day, Illuminata`s father caught her singing with Candelus scribbling down lyrics in the backyard. Furious, he gave them harsh warnings and said he wouldn`t report it if the two stopped. The twins did stop for a while, but gave back in to temptation a few weeks later. This time, their father had no mercy. When the authorities came, the two ran. They were just a couple of kids who were overly curious, that was all. Honestly.
They wandered aimlessly for a very long time. A few weeks of this wandering taught them how to rely on sound and smell to map out their surroundings pretty accurately - using only their sight would`ve made it impossible for them to survive. Of course, it was suspicious to have two kids wandering around, so they stuck to rather abandoned areas without people around. Eventually, they had to get something to eat (drinking water off the streets certainly didn`t help with their health), and wandered into the Neon Cat, a more abandoned...err, bar. Not the ideal place, but their exhaustion won over and both were knocked out cold immediately after they entered the place. They had a very nice sleep, yes, but it was a nightmare when they woke up. It turns out they were found by HAXRS, and they babbled their story out. Literally. The few weeks of torture made them relieved to be found by someone who wouldn`t tattle on them....hopefully. In the end, they were offered a position, which they accepted gratefully.
That which Divides Us ⇢ HAXRS
Peices ⇢ Flame Twins
I can do it Better ⇢ Their sense of sound and scent are both sharper than their sight, and they prefer not using their eyes when moving around. Other than being able to sing, they don`t really have any special talents.
Don't leave Home ⇢ Both of them each wear a black cloak-like jacket, with the hood pulled way below their eyes (think Mammon from KHR). Occasionally, they`ll opt for black blindfolds (being blind doesn`t hinder them). Hoverboards, check. Spray cans, paint cannons, hair dye, check. Knives? Only one on each person, since they can`t really fight anyways. ⋙ COOLDOWN
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Pass the Time ⇢ Composing, Painting // Singing, Painting I'll have Another ⇢ Music, Color (especially Lavender), Flames, Nighttime Have to Pass ⇢ Parents, Confinement, PLOT4, the Machine, Seperation, Betrayal Replay Always ⇢ Confessio Under the Bed ⇢ Both twins suffer from autophobia - being seperated for long periods of time makes both of them extremely uneasy. They also tend to not trust adults, especially parents. When they are attached to something, they cling on to it. They hate having things taken away from them, again a fear developed from childhood. Thinking of You ⇢ Pfft...NAH! Forgetful, Much? ⇢ They're much more reliant on their sense of hearing, rather than sight. The twins are slightly obsessed with "pretty" things and have a sort of obsession with them.
