It's okay I tend to only look at character sheets when I feel like I've forgotten something. But it does look interesting and we have a few plot hooks from the start.

Well I have found nothing that has interested me so far, but I am willing to see this through.

Guys, the update may or may not be delayed as Google Docs is having technical issues & as my system is prone to random resets I only trust Clouds with large bodies of writing now, however I AM still trying but if you don't get it today, you WILL get it by Sunday THE LATEST! I'm really sorry about this guys, forgive me?

'My name is Shirato Jin, or as the Westerners would say: Jin Shirato.
for the last 10 years me & my only 2 friends have been under the guidance of a man called Ikutsuki Shuji after we escaped experiments performed on us by the so called 'Leaders of Tomorrow' the Kirijo Group.
It turns out Ikutsuki's 'kindness' was nothing but a hellish lie, I should've known the second I failed to find any records of Chidori's daytime-shoplifting for art supplies to wipe. A genuine man of his standing not entering 3 Orphans into the correct legal systems, really?
Now, there's two ways to go from here; either stay here with Takaya & Chidori and hope this document is another one of Shuji's bad jokes, or I can read the writing on the walls and get out now whilst hoping the others are smart enough to do the same…
Not really a choice is it?'
With that I switched off my Laptop, put it in my briefcase, cuffed it to my right wrist, secured my Evoker horizontally across the base of my spine, got off the sofa and walked over to the supply area of Strega's little base/home.
First off I went to the freezer to grab my bottle of Persona Suppressants, never leave home without them 'lest our Artificial Personae-the result of the Kirijo experiments-revolt & kill us. "Too bad we're coming to the end of our current batch, otherwise I'd take spare." I muttered as I carefully placed the precious bottle in one of the many hidden pouches in the sleeves of my black-&-lime-green bomber jacket.
Next, my preferred weapon; Bombs, while I do know some martial arts, it's mainly just Self-Defense, plus, you have to admit; blowing your enemies to smithereens is quite amusing, although there is something to be said about smacking a bitch to relieve stress. Anyway, I fill by two obvious pockets with 7 bombs each equalling 14 in total, any more & I'll make too much noise from the bombs hitting each other, also my pockets would bulge making me look even more suspicious.
Finally, I move to the box of spare Evokers. We've practically never needed them, especially since Takaya stopped needing one, but I'm leaving & it's better to be safe than sorry. With that I open both my jacket & the box, now, how many should I take?

With the spares safely holstered in my jacket, I turn around and headed towards the door calling over my shoulder as I went. "C'mon, Takaya, Chidori, we're leaving."
But Takaya's reply made me falter. "Oh? But I was unaware we had a target tonight."
Half-turning to face him with a bewildered stare, I answered. "Of course we don't Takaya, you know I run every assignment by you & Ikutsuki first, but you just saw the same document I and Chidori did, are you honestly telling me you're ok with staying in a lie, with being manipulated?"
At that Takaya chuckled. "You know our patron Jin, he likes to try to be funny but it never works, besides, even if we are being manipulated, what does it matter when Nyx-sama will release us anyway?" he questioned, referring to The Fall, an event where an extremely powerful Shadow named after an ancient greek goddess will descend upon the earth killing only the people who are suicidal at the time, us three included.
I fully turned to face the others. "If he lied to us about caring for us & not being involved with the experiments, what else did he lie about? For all we know; The Fall could wipe out the entire human race." I reasoned.
Here, Takaya snorted derisively, which is very uncharacteristic of him, before responding in a hate-filled tone. "So what?! Humans are cruel, twisted, miserable creatures that deserve, no, NEED to be wiped from existence!" The eyes that barked out those words weren't Takaya Sakaki's eyes, they weren't my best friend's eyes, these were the eyes of an abused animal that wanted to hunt the whole jungle to make sure it's pain never came back, I decided I hated those eyes; they stung too much.
The pain turned to hollowness, which gave way to rage as I roared back at this monster wearing my best friend's face. "TAKAYA! Have you forgotten the promise we made to each other back in the Lab?! "No matter what life throws at us, no matter how suicidal we get, we won't take it out on anybody except the ones directly responsible." Does that mean nothing to you anymore?!"
Takaya fixed me with such a ferocious gaze that I actually stumbled back. "Do NOT bring silly childhood 'promises' into this Shirato! Words of ignorance hold no meaning here." he snarled. "If you wish to leave, we shall let you in honour of what we have been through, but be warned; when next we meet, it will be as enemies, now go before I change my mind, GO!"
I stood there for 4 frantic heartbeats in shock, before turning tail & running, trying to keep the tears from falling.

'Okey Jin, calm down, you've been through worse, pull yourself together & find someplace to settle in, you're in no state to face Shadows tonight.'
Now, where should I set up shop?

As I was walking to my new 'home' something Takaya said reminded me of something I can use to my advantage: I am the Admin of Revenge Request, The Assassination-request site I ran for Stega so we could earn some money. Only problem is; now that I've reminded myself of the promise we made, I can no longer assassinate people for money in good conscious, however to close it down outright would just be plain absurd, maybe I can convert it into a forum or social media site, but what to call it & which should I pick?

Well...this is both embarrasing & frustrating; I just ran a private tally just out of curiosity & I noticed all the site name votes were orphaned.It was at this point that I realized I'm running a old tally program, "Ok" I thought. "I'll just download the newest one, easy fix." So, I went to the thread; 5 versions I tried, none worked on my Windows-XP-running-system. I don't know if I need any extra programs to run it or what, but untill I can get a decent tally program, I'll need a...vote-keeper if you will; someone who, when I ask gives a tally of the currant votes, in return I'm happy to act as beta for either your present or upcoming project.
