Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Colonel. No other name known.

Stage: Infant

Likes: Swords, war films, the army, oldies music, just about anything from Britain, tea, combat, giving orders, reading, being with his sister.

Dislikes: His honor being insulted, dishonourable combat, pirates, womanizers, over-silly antics, pranks, mutiny, having his hat stolen, people who upset Iris

Personality: Very honourable. Colonel is very old fashioned sometimes, usually by being polite, respecting others, ETC. He's like a knight in a metal body. However he has his pride, and sometimes it gets in his way when it comes to making good choices. He's very protective of his sister and those he cares about. His loyalties are to his home, and family. He is unafraid of combat and will willingly participate in an honest duel. For some reason, he's used to dealing with large groups of people, and tends to be a little bossy. He also delivers killer speeches.

Notes: Colonel is the soldier half of the "perfect soldier" project, who is both a warrior and a pacifist. However, the data proved incompatible in a single body, so Colonel shares his source code with his sister, Iris. If one sibling were to die, the other would be overwhelmed by the other's will, and would become overwhelmed with greif, as well and emotionally unstable, and will seek the other's killer.

A Reploid is a robot with complete human will and emotion, however, they remain in mechanical bodies. Many are tuned towards specific fields and will then work from there. (IE: Scientist, soldier, medic, ETC)

The twins have yet to meet many people.

Quests for Colonel will be logged here as he gets them.

How the Twins came to the Hall

Nova was curled up, in her nighty no less, wih Sora for one in her arms teething an ice cold teething ring. Music slowly filtered through the radio as she read, the infant next to her gumming away. Teething HURT damnit, and not just for Sora. Nova's hands too, while being metal, had tasted the wrath of baby teeth cutting, as had most of the household. That was why Spider volunteered to go find Sora a chew toy so the house could stop getting new hand wraps every five minutes because Sora'd been chewing on them. It was bad enough he snubbed the baby food until Nova got him some more island like flavors of what she called "Baby Mash".

Sora's teething ring dropped from his mouth and he squealed as Spider came in, clutching a brown paper bag with a cocky grin on his face. Nova hardly looked up.

"How'd it go?" the robotic woman asked, nose still in the book. Spider strode over, leaning on the couch.

"Well enough. We've not got a Sora Chew Toy. Metal thing. Some lunatic kept saying it was haunted." With that, he pulled out a teacup with a blue jewel in the middle and handed it to Sora. Sora stared, biting it a few seconds before it began to vibrate angrily, making the boy scream and drop it, beginning a chain reaction. Spider jumped out of the way before the cup hit his fot, Sora was wailing, and on the ground was a very angry teacup, vibrating like it was somehow OFFENDED. Nova picked Sora up in one arm and was on her feet, book forgotten as she smacked Spider upside the head as hard as she could.

"IDIOT! Why did you give Sora a haunted teacup!? He could've hurt himself!" Nova pretty much yelled at Spider. The teacup in question continued vibrating, as if it were yelling at Spider as well. Nova presented Sora, still upset, to Spider.

"Here, YOU get Sora calm. I'll see about appeasing the ghost here."

With that, the young woman bent down and plucked up the still-vibrating object. and flicked it. It seemed to not like this, giving an angry buzz. Nova growled.

"Snot-assed little ghost."

THAT got it vibrating roughly before she noticed very breif intervals. It was.. Ranting? In morse code? Oh good GOD. The thing had to be possessed by some sort of nut. Well, the General would love the idea of possessed MORSE CODE USING teacups. Well, unfortuanately for him, she didn't know morse code. But she DID have the bigginings of a craving for Ear Grey, and walking to the kitchen with the cup, Spider and Sora in tow, she rummaged for the teabags, pulling out a paopu fruit to turn to :Baby Mash" for Sora. Pulling the box of assorted teas out, she also thought some cookies would be good. By the time she realized anything was going on, the previously violent teacup had calmed to a faint happy vibration as the tea steeped and Sora was being fed. Spider was spooning Sora the ground up paopu fruit and watching amusedly.

"You're eating like a knocked up human woman."

"Hush." Nova grumbled, munching a cookie. "I'm fine."

She took the teabag out of the teacup and would've taken a sip if it hadn't given a wee warning buzz. She put it back down and made a fresh cup using the same teabag in an inanimate cup. By now the teacup's jewel was sparkling merrily. Nova blinked, reminded of Sora's key phase, and paled.

"Hey, Spider, I think you brought home another kid. possibly two, since that gem seems to react differently then the cup." Nova blinked, sipping the tea. Spider shrugged.

"Sorry?"

Nova rolled her eyes at him.

"Anyways, this time you aren't allowed to touch."

Nova sipped her tea, patting the teacup slowly, a little more affectionately. This, the gem and the cup both seemed to like. Nova glanced at Spider.

"So whaddya think we should call them?" She asked. Spider ******** if I know." The merc shrugged, giving Sora some more paopu fruit. Nova rolled her eyes.

"Useless son of a... Well, I dunno why, but I have a weird feeling to call one Iris and the other Colonel. Yeah, General's gonna really ask where we got THIS." Nova shook her head.

"Oh well. This'll be really interesting..."

Attack of the 16 Year Old Babysitters: Part II - Mobile Force Code BABY

It was a good sleep. A very good sleep indeed, the kind that, uninterrupted, would make even Rip Van Winkle Jealous. And Iris was enjoying it. Atleast, she was until she was woken up by their older brother screaming. She opened her pretty blue eyes to see Colonel already up. Recently, Colonel had gotten it in his mind to attempt to stand, and he was doing quite well at it - something likely to do with the development of infant Reploids - and tried it frequently. Normally, he was the best behaved, and usually kept quiet. But he was awake, and standing at attention staring at Sora's room.

It's a known fact there's a unique bond between twins, and Colonel and Iris were no different. The concern on Colonel's tiny face had Iris making her way to her twin, peeking as well as one of the Teens entered the room, the one they knew as "Code". She was still new, but, unlike some of the others, she had a small inkling of how to deal with them. Sora was in her arms, whimpering away, which immediately put Colonel on guard as he stared and put on a scowl. Iris reached up for Sora.

"Uwwaaahhh?"

Sora sniffed, making grabby hands at Iris.

"Ris-ris!"

Code frowned and looked over her shoulder.

"Are you QUITE done out there!? Colonel's giving me this dirty look..."

Andrea came in a minute later, Heartless free, and rubbed the back of her head.

"Yare, I'm here."

Colonel immediately scrunched his glare up further. Where was his Mommy? Or their older brother? Hell, even their neice? Oh, he was an angry Baby IN-DEED. Andrea stuck her tounge out at him.

"If you keep making those faces, you'll lock up like that."

"No, he won't, dipshit." Code passed Sora off to her classmate and picked the twins up. Iris blinked, but cuddled up. She liked Code, Code always told them fun stories. Colonel however, was less social, prefering immediate kin. He made the closest noise a baby could to a dis-satisfied growl, looking up with a "Where is my Mommy!?" look. Code blinked.

"Eh, sorry, Col, but, Nova's not here right now, Chorus is off with Willow, and, well, don't ask about your neice. I think she's been out with someone else."

Hrmphing noise. Babysitting wasn't unfamiliar, after all, their mother had a boyfriend. But most babysitters gave up with a "NO" after one day with Colonel. Maybe because...

Colonel grabbed his rattle and promptly smacked Code with it as hard as he could. She was NOT his mommy or big brother or neice, so HE WOULD NOT STAND FOR THIS NONSENSE. Iris blinked, making whimpery noises at him. She liked the babysitters. After all, people providing food couldn't be bad, right?

Colonel made a noise similiar to grumbling - a habit he picked up from one of the adults - and crossed his arms. Code got a disturbed look. Andrea looked over.

"Maybe if you tell the lil' wanker that-"

WANKER? Oh, that did it. Colonel's rattle smacked Andrea square in the face and he scowled. How dare she swear! And in his presence! Code snickered.

"Careful, Nova said he knows a few curse words and he ain't fond of them." She then hugged both.

"But what she wants me to say is, your Mommy's looking at fabric cause may Dad asked her to marry him."

Confusion was across all 3 babies' faces. Code blinked. Oh, right. They didn't get it.

"I'm going to be your big sister?"

That seemed to clear things up as all 3 degrees of confusion/indignation/happy returned. Andrea rolled her eyes.

"Let's just do this."

----------

A few minutes found the trio in the main room, which had pillows everywhere. Something was up, the babies knew it, especially when all 3 were set down and the teens crossed the room. Sora, the oldest, was immediately standing, making grabby hands at both. Why were they across the room?

"Wee-eeehhhh?"

"Come on HERE, Sora." Andrea coaxed, pulling out candy. Sora blinked, then, forgetting he was on his two feet and not hands and knees, tried to move for the candy, tripping, and landing on his bottom. Blink. Blink.

More grabby hands.

"DEE! DEE!" Sora moved again, upon getting up. Totter. Totter. He was, after all, older. He took a couple wobbly steps, but that candy kept making him hungry. About 5 steps later he fell forward on Andrea, who picked him up and handed him the candy.

"Nice one. Here, have a candy. Paopu flavor."

Greedily, Sora stuffed the candy in his mouth, trying to eat the lollipop. Both twins watched in fascination. That earned candy? They exchanged glanced before Iris got up. Colonel watched warily, much less sure about this, as his sister tried to follow in Sora's footsteps. Wobble. Wobble.

She might have moved, until a blast of energy landed behind the twins, making Iris squeak and land on her bottom as Nova swapped out of her travelling mode.

"Oi. Hey, what're you two doing with the kids?" The Reploid grumbled, scratching her head.

"Getting them to walk? Sora did, anyway." Code shrugged. Nova grumbled.

"Atleast it's on security cam... Damn... Missed it."

Colonel, meanwhile, looked up, making a somewhat content noise with his mother now there, standing up and making grabby hands. By now Iris managed to turn herself around, standing up too. Nova laughed.

"Yeah, hey kids. And don't look at me like that, Colonel, you torment enough babysitters."

Colonel looked indignant a minute before taking a wobbly step toward his mother. He wasn't getting picked up, and he wanted attention to compensate for this indignity. Iris watched her brother, who took some HIGHLY shaky steps before he began to fall forward. Nova was faster, picking him up.

"Well shoot, if I knew you were this active irritated..."

Colonel scowled. Ever so not funny. Iris blinked. She was ready to go over to Colonel herself, and then tried again, taking a tottery step. Colonel watched then made a reassuring noise. Iris cooed back nerviously, then took another step, and another, each one much more wobbly than Sora. Nova walked over, picking her up.

"Easy you two. That's enou-ACK! BY DOSE!"

With Iris now secure, Colonel had latched one hand his Nova's nose with a look that clearly stated "DON'T DO THAT AGAIN!"

She grimaced.

"Dats id, I'b idtroducig you do do Kaze ad Jag..."
