    Summary

    YN has already given up on living a normal life. Life has taught her one thing and one thing only: there’s no one else but her at the end. What keeps her going is the unrelenting ache in her heart that drives her fire for revenge. If she’s going to do one thing in this damned life of hers, it’ll be revenge on the one who caused all this shit to happen. Against her enemy, Charles Choi.

    Now that she was finally out of the hell she never called home for almost 4 years, she could finally act on the plan she crafted in that time. Everything would, had to, go perfectly. Only then could she possibly find out what exactly happened to her to cause this ache in her heart she desperately ignores everyday.

    Her perfect plan was going well, up until her feelings got in the way. Not only her new found feelings, but her new found memories as well. These blurred faces, a feeling that YN couldn’t explain. Why were these people, who she felt so strongly for, join the person she aims to destroy?

    Summary

    The Hadal Blacksite operates in tandem with a writhing ecosystem that only expands with every wave of clueless expendables sent to their doom. It thrives off the push and pull of its own rapid decay, and the absurdities that come with it.

    The facility houses a food chain which leaves the expendables at rock-bottom. Even the parasites infesting the dark waters hold more leverage than the criminals who throw themselves at death's door.

    Yet, there remains an unknown variable: a shopkeeper who holds the power to make or break any expendable's attempt at getting the crystal. A saboteur who uses the enemy's methods for his own.

    It starts with a discount, and ends with a sawed-off double barrel shotgun pointed at your skull.

    …at least, you thought it ended there. For now, Sebastian seems pretty interested in keeping you around.

    OR:

    details of the expendable's tenure as Sebastian's unenthusiastic business partner.

    Summary

    Expendable. That's all you were, all you'd ever be. Stuck in the depths of the Hadal Blacksite you've come to admit it to yourself. Just another Expendable, seeking a freedom that was never promised. You know of others in similiar plight. The experiments, that funky fish-looking dude with the snark and his static friend who often radio'd in whenever you were buying supplies.

    "It's either us or them."
    "You're just someone trying to persist in the unimagineable circumstances they placed you in."
    "Surviving doesn't make you a bad person."

    You'd heard Sebastian's softer words of comfort to Painter. Ofcourse they were only surviving, but so were you. Freedom was a precious thing you both sought, but they would never extend their trust to someone working for Urbanshade.
    So, despite the unimaginable circumstances, you seek to change that. To stray from the script.

    And you know, to avoid getting murked by Sebastian at every little inconvenience.

    Or,

    Player seeks to gain Sebastian & Painter's trust (and sometimes fails miserably).

    Summary

    You weren't an Avenger. You weren't. You trained people to be Avengers, but you weren't one. Allowing people to learn to control their powers had given you purpose after experiencing trauma that no person should ever experience. When it comes down to it, though, you had to save everyone. And in the process, you unwillingly announced your existence to both your enemies and the Avengers. They both want to use you for your powers, afraid of what will happen if the other side gets you first. Can you trust the Avengers to have the right motives and help protect you from your enemies, who would do anything to get back the asset they lost? Or are the Avengers using you, too, wanting to keep you on a leash as their personal weapon? Figuring out who to trust when your entire past is haunted memories leaves you confused and desperate to figure out what you want from life and how you are going to achieve it. On the journey to just that, maybe friends, and even love, could guide you to your answer.

    After a storm causes you to expose your power, the Avengers want you to join them.
