@Proin:
Anarchy,
is easily introduced if the tree factions were to go to war. Or if there were to be an outside invasion. Or we can timeskip and find ourselves in a world where sources for fusion are ending/ended, they've only got solar power left and technology is on a downroll.
Aftermath of all of those three would create a nice apocalyptic world with huge amounts of anarchy.
Thus creating a power vacuum for the characters to fill?
Character,
No limits, you can play anything you like, I won't have anything to say even if you play a 200 year old gay transvestite. So if you're rich enough, your mother took you to the old layers to give birth and you've lived there etc. you can be a gifted outside of the military but expect your life to suck then. The more powerful you are, the more you can expect it to suck. Hiding a five year old who can blast a wall by accident isn't exactly easy or cheap while the military would likely let someone with the power to shine dim light from his forehead retire early.
In that case let me present: Eleor Nilin, professional assassin (aspiring), hacker extraordinaire (self-proclaimed), and ex-military (by way of desertion).
Height: 5'3"
Weight: ???
Age: 24
Three sizes: 32A-24-33
Hair color: Black (natural) with blue highlights (dyed)
Eyes: Red (artificial optics, passive light gathering(night vision), can see infrared, x-ray, built in optical zoom), Black (with contacts inserted to hide telltale red)
Skin: porcelain white (gets almost no sun) with no tattoos or significant skin blemishes
Her powers allow her to become invisible on all wave spectra (visible, UV, IR, etc), causes near-perfect absorption of radio and sound waves (making her almost impossible to detect using radar or sonar), and makes her scentless. She is still audible, she has trained to breathe very quietly and move nearly silently; if they're available she'll use a sonic damper to make detection even more difficult but since it's a blanket effect the sonic damper gives away her presence (though not her exact location) and so she won't activate it until her presence is revealed. Her other power allows her to manifest two long daggers with monomolecular edges, she also carries a fire-arm as a back-up/ranged weapon when possible.
She has also learned how to pick conventional locks in addition to knowing how to take care of electronic ones. She also is a trained hacker/cracker.
She was born in territory controlled by the Vandorians. Her powers developed at puberty and she was taken to a military training camp for talented youngsters. There she was further marked for Internal Enforcement - State Police of the worst sort - and was trained as an assassin. She was taught how to hack/crack, one of her assignments was to hack her own implant and remove the tracking function (which she accomplished), in order to better police the people. As part of her training the government made her an unperson, erasing her from all but the most highly classified of military systems.
She committed her first assassination when she was 17 and has engaged in various forms of internal espionage, counter-intelligence work and the like for the last seven years; however, rather than being treated as a valued asset she was treated as just another tool, degraded and abused by her superiors. Eventually she had enough and effected her escape, not too difficult after being given the training to do just that.
At the start of the game she'll have been on the run for about two weeks, long enough to establish several cover identities. Her current destination is GreFac territory, from there: who knows?
