Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Grolves - A pack of 3 genetically altered wolves, consisting of 2 Grolves and a Dire Grolf. These are the result of the G-Virus pumped into wolf pups, and MK deploys them on the grounds above the facility to patrol the area. They are mostly harmless to anyone that they recognize, though they are quite fierce with strangers or anyone meaning harm. They are controlled by the sound of a silver flute, one which MK himself carries around.

More NPC's to come...

Name: Vault
Age: 5 (36 in past life)
Race: Golem/Robot

Vault was once a highly decorated officer in G Corp's military department. Her name and rank from that time are both classified. She worked side by side with various heros, including gaians like the legendary Edmund. On her downtime, Vault dabbled in Science, and created various programs and chemical reports for the Corp.

One day, a few years ago, Vault had come face to face with the mighty Jack. It was a battle she knew she could not win, but Jack threatened to destroy the Corp, in the name of taking Halloween back for himself. Vault fought to the very end, only to be left for dead.

A team of LabTechs arrived on the scene shortly after, and as with Vault's last wishes, they took her body to the Area 21 facility, and saved her brain. They knew they could not sustain it for long, so it was then decided to download her brain into a cyber core.

It took nearly a year to design and construct a body fitting of a war hero, but at last, Vault had finally come to life once more. She was not the woman she once was, but she sustained an unexpected amount of memory in the transformation.

Longing for her lost body, Vault would wander the corridors at night, and she would weep to herself in the silence. It created an odd echoing that could be heard throughout the levels, and the sadness was overwhelming to those who heard it.

Not even a month later, strange things began to happen. Rocks would seem to roll in Vault's direction as she passed, and sparks would come from her body at random times. She had MK check her out, but everything was in proper working order. There was no malfunction. Something else was happening.

Long story short, Vault found she could control the earth around her, and use energies that a robot such as herself could not have possessed on her own. She found that her spirit returned to her metal frame, and she could use the powers of the Death Plane to aid in her unfinished business.

Vault is now not only a robot, but even moreso a Golem. She is infused with magic and technology.

Powers:
Computer Interface - Vault can tap into and control any system controlled by a computer.
Earth Rising - With a little focus, she can command the Earth around her, and cover her body in solid rock, or fling it around on an electric tether.
Size of Matter - Vault can shrink or grow at will. This is also how she got the name "Vault", as she stores various faction items in her body, and shrinks down to gaian size.

Name: Raven the Whitehat
Age: Believed to be 26
Race: Vampire/Ghost
Job and Sublevel: Project Mist, Level 7
Appearance: Refer to Avatar

Powers/weapons:
In an experiment completed during The Great War, Raven found
the solution to the problem that is death. She injected herself
with said experiment, and she was brought to the boundary of life
and death. She is fated to stay on this line for all time,
unable to die, but eternally sad.
Walking such a fine line, her body, mind, and soul all exist
in both the plane of the living, and the dead. She can shift
herself more to one side at will, but can never cross fully
inter either plane. this also allows her to, of course, see
and interact with dead people. It was too late when she found out
that the process was irreversible, and she has since refused
to use the weapons of mankind.

History: "The Great War"

The Great war, as it is referred to, is tha name given to the great battle
that took place during the Zombie Outbreak of 2K4. There was complete
pandemonium during the event, where many zombies added to their kind by
biting the remaining Gaians, and those who were not infected were fighting
back with Shotguns. For a time, LabTechX was selling the antivirus to
the G-Virus; Which was the catalyst for the entire event.

On the surface, where most of the event was taking place, Gaians were fighting
with the Zombies in the mansion of Gambino. What most people didn't see,
however, was the battle taking place in the various G CORP Facilities.

The facility underneath the mansion was cleared of zombies early on, as they
were all attempting to make it to the surface, and escape to the streets of Gaia.
Before things got out of hand, an injured LabTech was brought to the Area 21
facility for treatment. Little did we know at that time, that we were too late,
and that we had endangered our entire base of operations in the process.

By the time the Silent Flash protocol was released back at Gambino's mansion,
we were in a full scale zombie infestation back in Area 21.

Once we found that the LabTech was beyond aid, we took him down to Level 7.
(In the beginning, Each LabTech signed a form when they first joined us,
that ensured that we may use their body for science in the event of Death or
other effect that rendered them incapable of independent thought. We no longer
require this, as plenty of subjects are found in animals these days.)
While strapping him down to a table, two of the assisting Techs were bitten,
and attempted to hide the infection from their superiors. They returned to
their respective levels, and it was not long before an outbreak had occurred.

In a last ditch effort to save the facility, the Techs on Level 7 got together,
and waged war on the rising Zombie population. Two of the best trained techs,
who go by the names of LabTechMK, and Raven the Whitehat, fought side by side
as they made their way through the facility. By the time they cleared up to
Level 4, they had gained the aid of 40 remaining Gaians. The trouble with such
numbers though, is that you become quite the pocket of Zombie bait. Someone
in the group became effected, and it took less then 10 minutes before only
a few were left standing. Now surrounded by the Zombie Horde, MK and Raven
swore to kill them all. MK realized the severity of the situation, however,
and the low supply of ammo was not helping much. Raven refused to quit, and
she decided to beat them with a melee weapon. They surrounded her quickly...
and MK could not get her free. She was carried away into the shadows, and MK
shed but only 1 tear, before he turned away from them all, and took to the
exit with all of his might. There was a blood curdling scream, followed
by a massive explosion. There was a brilliant white flash, accompanied by
a thick purple smoke. This is the last that was witnessed by any gaian,
before it was decided to move back into the facility.

He blames himself to this day for what happened there, and things have
not been the same since. In a strange twist of events since moving back into
Area 21, Raven has been seen throughout the facility. At first glance,
she seems just like another LabTech, doing her job just like anyonw else.
Something is different though, and MK pointed this out when he saw her
again. She was dead, and there was no way that she wasn't. Yet, she stood
there before him, on more than on occasion. She has even since helped him,
when MK mysteriously took ill, and collapsed in a dark corridor.

What is stranger still, is where all the bodies have gone. Nobody knows for
sure, as there was never a clean up crew sent in after the war. MK returned
to the facility one day, to find it completely empty. He recruited some
brand new members to restart the research at the facility, and those Techs
are the ones who work here to this day.

Many things are still unknown... but the answers surely lie beyond the locked
doors in level 7. They still have not been unlocked since The Great War...
But MK cannot bear to see what lies beyond.

Weakness: Being immortal is no walk in the park.
She is very compassionate for MK, and several other LabTechs,
but is always sad in one way or another. She will outlive
those whom she loves, and will one day witness the end
of all life. This tends to distract her greatly, and she will
sometimes hide from the living in shame.

Name: Emerald Zaryn
Age: 25
Race: Time Lord / Vampire
Job and Level:
Appearances: Current Avatar

Powers/weapons: Time Manipulation, LGHTNRGY

History: Emerald is the daughter of LabTechMK and Nalini. She was born with a mix of both races, and the powers of LGHTNRGY. She is mischevious for her race, and at one point came back in time to aid the facility while her present self was still in infancy. She had also made the error of taking Evijan with her on one of her little trips, and came into contact with herself. A paradox was forced, and several former members of the facility vanished altogether, being replaced with their similar selves from a separate timeline; 15 years from the future.

Weakness: As a LGHT user, there is little known about weakness save for DRK, though she is a bit of a trickster and has a tendancy to appear and vanish; sometimes even without willing it. More to come when more is learned...
