[QUOTE="Pell-Mell, post: 3407645, member: 50273"] [b]CHARACTERS[/b] [b]Dirk Chance[/b] [i]Human Rogue[/i] Dirk is a smooth-talking, chain-smoking, perpetually unshaven man in his late twenties. Born in the city of Asheril, a sprawling metropolis and the largest trading hub on the Continent, he has a rather checkered past. However, he has always been plagued by a conscience unusual for a native son of a city whose only concern is money and power. Growing tired of living with the injustices routinely ignored by the corrupt police forces of Asheril, he started a small private investigation office. The agency floundered for several years as Dirk was unable to secure a dependable partner. All this changed following a chance encounter with the Lud-Man known as Case Nine. [b]Case Nine[/b] [i]Warforged Fighter[/i] Pulled from the strangeness that surrounds the ruins of Old Lud, Case Nine was one of several Lud-Men (also known as warforged or robots) retrieved in an expedition conducted by the Xummax Group. Old Lud had once been a grand civilization, filled with technological marvels far beyond anything available in the current day. However, a devastating war with the ancient Eastern Empire destroyed Lud and plunged a huge swath of the Continent into an unending maelstrom. The Xammux Group, one of the many companies that have their headquarters in the factory city of New Lud, conducted all manner of experiments on the reactivated warforged in an attempt to divine the secrets of the eldritch technologies that gifted these wondrous machines with true consciousness. The fact that each of the machine-men was inevitably driven insane by the group's tinkering was considered an acceptable cost of the project. Case Nine, who was the ninth warforged to be retrieved by the project, managed to escape before he was experimented on. Wandering south through an unfamiliar world, he eventually made way to the city of Asheril. Unaware of the city's Non-Traditional Sentient Hosting and Registration (No-TraSH) Act of '17, which among other things requires all non-exempt undead and constructs to have a registered owner, he was almost scrapped by the city. It was only the timely intervention of Dirk, who calmly talked the bewildered robot out of the situation, which saved him from this fate. Case Nine first became Dirk's bodyguard than graduated to partner in their agency. [/QUOTE]
