[SIZE="1"]Organization Title – Destiny’s Bane
[A small fraction of the well-respected company Choice Industries Unlimited. Only a choice few are knowledgeable about the existence of this fraction.]

Branches:
Dusza[s]-
Lalki[es]-
Board of Directors:
- Information is for Executive eyes only -
Medical Faculty:
- Madam Crimson [Dr. Crimson]
- Senior Staff member, Dr. Blyskawica



DR. CRIMSON [notes & diagnostic]
File # 215/Q
* Viewing is only permissible by Executives, Senior Staff and myself.
-CONCERNING DUSZA AND LALKI-
Unbeknown to the general public, a widespread illness had been rampant throughout the world. To the untrained eye, this vindictive intruder carries the same basic symptoms of the common Flu. Obviously, however, the very, VERY busy staff at Choice Industries Unlimited would never be interested in such a trivial matter. This “illness”, which I have entitled FATE, for research purposes, is most intriguing. FATE reacts with certain people. We have full knowledge of what kind of people, but I have been strictly forbidden to foreclose such information in my report. When is reacts with these choice few, (and I do mean few) it seems they are granted abnormal abilities. When the Organization first began this investigation, I must admit I was skeptical. A colleague of mine has most aptly-though not in the broadest of terms- summarized these traits. “Superpowers”. There seems to be no set rule for what type of “powers”. They range from the most useful to the most bizarre. Both, however, are coveted by not only the Organization but also by various Crime Syndicates. Thus, it is imperative we get our hands on as many as possible. Also, there seems to be a price for their blessing. We have named people who have had a negative reaction to FATE Dusza[s]. It seems there is a price for the Dusza's blessing. After one uses their power, regardless of the extent, they are forced to do some odd action right afterwards. Its very peculiar, and we've had Dusza's whose penance were actually quite frightening. (Having to bite another was one) Yet, a majority are just unusual actions, like smoking, singing and such. I need to put more effort in locating a method to this madness.

The public have absolute no idea such beings exist. Now, you must remember that it was the infection FATE that awoke the powers. Before they were infected, they were relatively normal people. I will try to be brief in describing not only the Dusza's abilities but also the side effects.

+They, as stated early, get powers/abilities
+ The power depends on the individual
+ After performing said power, they have to perform in involuntary action [Named penance]
+Like their power, the penance is unique per Dusza
+Before the Dusza’s power is awoken, they lose a fraction of their memory, which is replaced with their ability
+ The Dusza also lose an emotion
+ Dusza[s], though retaining their original personalities, have no free will
+Once a Dusza is bonded to a “Master” (in the most loose of terms) they devote their life to serving and protecting that individual


FATE is most defiantly an infection. It alters the generic code of the recipient. Also, I have firm knowledge the transformation is quite painful, both physically and mentally.

In FATE’s twisted web of despair, is born yet another sorrow. Lalki[es] are individuals that had a violent negative reaction with the infection. Sadly, a majority of the Lalki[es] die after being infected, so their numbers are even less. Lalki[es], also referred to as PUPPETS, are barren of any emotion. All their memories have been forfeited, leaving them hollow.
A Lalki also has “powers” but does not need to pay a penance. Their redeeming quality lies in their unique ability to be implanted with any memory or personality. This makes them highly sought after for espionage and the likes.

At the present time, there has yet to be any cure for FATE. I sincerely hope that it does not come to that, but would most defiantly be in our best interest to conduct such research. I will update my diagnostic when I have new information. Until then, this has been Madam Crimson.

---
The RPG is set in a fictional 19th century Europe. If there are any suggestions, questions or complaints, please let me know.
You may go into as much detail as you like with your character, or as little. Try to use your imagination with their powers and penance. The Dusza[s] and Lalki[es] have been given “code” names in order for it to be easier to remember the individual. Their new name needs to somehow reflect their power or penance. (Even if it doesn't, I’m not going to scold you ^.~)

I forgot to mention this earlier. Before anyone accuses me of plagiarism, this is loosely based after the anime Darker then Black. The story shouldn't reflect the anime, but I thought I'd let you know.

Lady Kenshin, did you want Adelheid or Salida to be her "Title"? I just wanted to make sure I hadn't messed up.

Also, if anyone wants their chara to be "found" by Destiny's Bane, lemme know. That way, the other charas would have a mini assignment to start out with. X3[/SIZE]

X No one-liners. They KILL rpgs. Murderers!
X Don't speak for another chara's actions. Duh~
X You're not invincible.
X Don't take the action one place quickly without asking me. Example: Everyone's somewhere, then suddenly you transport them all to a island. Yeah, not good.
X -and anything else I think of! >8D [dictator mode]
