remember citadel
Heyo,
This is Vee, I also play Roxas, I am bringing you now Marie Delacroix! She's from the System Shock universe, which kind of goes on a general cyber punk dystopian path for a while. Corporations replace governments, hackers are neat, mankind has a space station.
The divergence and singular defining incident for them was SHODAN, the Sentient Hyper-Optimized Data Access Network. She started out benign, but then a jackass by the name of Diego hired a hacker to take down SHODAN's ethical constraints. This released a megalomaniac personality which believed herself to be a goddess. She used Citadel Station as her own personal laboratory and those humans she didn't outright slaughter, she experimented on. She had plans to do the same to the entirety of humanity, but luckily she was defeated when the hacker realized just what he had done.
Post-SHODAN saw government reemerge with some heavy luddite themes. This created a black market for tech and progress. When Marie tried to move from theoretical physics, for which she is famous for being the progenitor of post-relativity thinking and making Einstein obsolete, she found herself entangled with a former gangster of said market. He bankrolled her projects, and everything was pretty kosher until her prototype of the first Faster Than Light drive was nearly completed. Marie wanted five years to test it, her boss wanted three months.
So they set out in the Von Braun, the ship was falling apart at the seams, there were tensions between scientists, military, and corporate personnel. And when they hit Tau Ceti V they unknowingly brought not only SHODAN but one of her ugly experiments onboard.
'The Many' are hivemind flesh monsters that live to consume and to ~*be as one*~ which is actually a nasty body horror kind of deal. They killed or subsumed just about everybody on the ship. Marie had to fight them. They were scary. Marie is a little PTSD about it.
Allow me to traumatize you:
As for SHODAN, she pretended to be on the side of humanity before eventually revealing her evil plan to use the immense power of the FTL to recreate reality to her liking, which is why Marie will forever and always be utterly convinced that Norfinbury is just a sick joke made by that evil robot bitch :)
Marie wasn't exactly pleasant before she went crazy, and now she is... even less pleasant. She is crazy paranoid and willing to do whatever she deems necessary for her survival. Be careful around her...

blizzardseason, which you are welcome to friend if you like but I talk about non-RP things on it quite a lot, as full disclosure.

I'm Catie, btw, and I play this poor soul from a nice, medieval/steampunk fantasy world with exactly zero rogue murderous cyborgs (but plenty of murder anyway).
