Squall

(Technically, this is a question if .hack//sign char's go in the game, so I guess it might go here) In .hack//MUTATION, at the very end you [spoiler]get a bonus mission and meet Mimiru.[/spoiler] and in OUTBREAK, [spoiler] There is a rumor floating around that you get Tsukasa, Helba, Sora, and probably Mimiru (Mimiru's just a guess on my part) I've seen a screen shot of it, and it looks pretty real[/spoiler]

Mason sat silently across a dimly lit table from a man in a pinstripe suit. "I'll kill him, but the price is unnegotiatable." The man leaned forward and rested his elbows on the table. "And, what would that price be?" "two thousand dollars." The man let out a small laughter and leaned back. "Going rate's ten grand. You having a dicount or something?" "The money's not for spending, in fact the last time I used money for that was for kicks. It's for proof that I did it." Mason flashed a grin. "And of course, to leave a hole in your pocket." The man shrugged. "Sure, I'll pay up, but I want this guy dead. Get me? D-E-A-D." Mason nodded and stood up. "Gotcha, I'll bring his head back in a doggy-bag." He walked out of the bar and onto the street.

Name: Mason Sage Gender: male Age: 17 (worn in habbit from Final Fantasy games) Appearance: Black hair with silver sides, sloppily brushed to one side. Brown eyes and pale skin. Dark brown old leather jacket with sheep skin collar. Black shirt and blue worn in jeans; Black boots and fingerless gloves. Silver magnum bullet hung around his neck. Personality: Arrogant, and occasionally an *** hole. Loves to fight. Weapons: Switchblade Bio: Mason never knew why, but from an early age, he always loved to fight. He spent his life trying to perfect his skills on a rigerous training schedule, until he picked a fight with a gang leader. Mason won with one punch, and he was attacked by the entire gang. Of course, he couldn't win, and they beat him with an inch of his life and left him. After that, he went from a fighter to a ruthless killer. He hunted down the entire gang and killed them one by one. Since then he became a mercenary, always looking forward to the next job. Profession: Mercenary

Kyru looked from Kovu to the baby that was now in the woman's arms. He slowly walked over and kneeled by Kovu. "How did she..." Haru ran over, grinning. "Great job Kovu! That was-oh." He looked to see Kovu was unconcios. Kyru hoisted her up and threw her over his shoulder. "C'mon, let's get going." "Right now? I thought you wanted to kill them." "No. Kovu would blow a gasket. We'll leave and hope we don't regret it." He spat and continued walking, as the mob of people crowded around the woman. She thanked god between sobs. Haru looked back at her for a second before jogging up to Kyru. "It's kind of weird, though. It's like she was never released from the trance." Kyru suddenly stopped and held his arm out so Haru didn't pass him. "Wha-?" "Shhh. Look." He nodded towards Mina and the man she was talking to. "Why aren't we going over there?" "She can handle it. Let's just watch her back."

Seichiro went into his room and fumbled through his bag to find anything he might need in a moments notice, which wasn't much. He ran out the door and almost bumped into Anya. "Hey! Watch it, Seichiro!" Seichiro was about to keep going, but he stopped instead. "Hey, Anya?" "What's up?" "How long have we been on this ship?" "I dunno. We left late yesterday, so I guess about one day?" "Great first day. Is every day going to be like this?" "I dunno, but I don't think this ship would do to good with that." "Heh, terriffic." "What? Don't tell me your already leaning back." Seichiro grinned back at her, and reached into his pocket for the thing he crammed in earlier. "Not while I got this!" He pulled out a Gun with an enormous barrel, about the size of Anya's face. Inside was a metallic spiral, which Anya found herself staring into. She pushed it aside. "Great, a toy gun." "Toy?!" "There's no reloading chamber. Did you loose it somewhere?" "It's not a toy." "Looks like the trigger won't squeeze either, will it?" "Shut up." He jammed it back in his pocket and pushed it under his sweatshirt to hide it. He raced off into the hallway that had the drill. Seichiro noticed that it was starting to come undone, and he knew once it did space would vaccum out everything it could. He swallowed hard. "uh...guys? We've got another...problem."

James looked up at the sky and sighed. "You do know they left, right?" Said the man next to him. "Yeah." James said shortly, standing up. The man grabbed his arm before he could walk away. "Remember, make Charlotte's life hell." "I know." He walked off as the man left in a seperate direction. A small time later he had found himself a cab and drived about two blocks away from where Jackel and the others were. He slowly xalked a block closer before entering a hotel. "Why are all these hotels grouped together like this?" The attendant looked up at him while shining a key. "Rivaling buisness. I've been here for three years, but the other guy wanted to run me down by building one just one block closer to-" "Please, be quiet." James said suddenly. Maybe you can find someone else to chat to, someone who can brush it off as an old man talking to himself, but just don't push it on me." "Well, your not what I'd call well mannered. What is it that you want, if not good conversation?" "A room, on the top floor on the eastern side, please." "Okay, 7-09 is your room." James got the key and headed towards the elevator. "You can try a thank you!" The man yelled as he went up.

Seichiro looked bewildered at the monitor showing Garai. "Than why did you come to this place of all things if you were already dueling with what's-his-face?" "Bad time to talk Seichiro!" Seichiro was about to shout back, but there was a large shake and a red light was blinking. Hak growled. "Damn! Garai! There seems to be something big coming up on our left, cna you see it?" "...Yeah. It looks like a drill!" "Seichiro! Go check it out!" "Me?" Anya tried to shout over the sirens and rumbeling. "Sorry kid! I got my hans full, and that's ditto for Hak. But relax! All you gotta do is go and look out the window. Think of it as sight seeing!" Seichiro wanted to argue more, but he could see that he wasn't getting anywhere. He reluctantly ran out the door. Seichiro ran down the hallway until he saw a big bulking metallic figure. Garai was right, it was a drill. He stared in awe as it broke through the sheild and shattered the window glass. The hole started sucking eveything into it until the drill opened up and covered the cracks in the hole. Seichiro looked at it for a second, when somebody started coming out of the drill. The man cracked a grin when he saw Seichiro. "Gee, I guess I got the wrong ship. What's a kid doing on Garai's ship?" Seichiro didn't say anything, but just ran. "This'll be more fun than shooting fish in a barrel!" He started firing off random shots. He fired one shot at the floor that didn't hit Seichiro, but scared him enough to jump away and crack his head against the wall. He held his head and scrambled away. A moment later he burst through the cockpit door, gasping for breath. "Th-there's somebody in here!"

They stare into eachother's eyes, until a clapping sound draws them away. "Great. All that, and you let him get away." The figure who called himself X drops from the shadows. "You're an idiot. Do you know how many will die in the time it takes to kill him again?" Chinkan stood up quickly. "Who the hell are you?!" "Names don't mean a lot in war." "Why are you here?" "To make sure you idiots do your job." "Our job? You mean-" "Yeah, to kill that freak." "Ryu?" "That is NOT Ryu!!" He almost shouted. "Ryu died, just like he said. That Luna freak is Osirus, the self proclaimed messenger of death." Chinkan tried to pick up his scent, but it reeked of alchahol and smoke. "Show me your face." The man's helmit glinted in the small light. "Sorry, but no." "Why have you contacted us?" "Did I stutter? Look, I'm here to give you information, and that's about it. After that, you two can piss it off and **** 'till Christmas for all I give a damn about." "What information?" "Osirus's only weakness." "???" "You have to destroy his true essence. Osirus died long ago, but some quackpots had the nerve to revive him in a different body." "...Ryu's" "Yeah. You already know that perfect warrior experament he keeps jabbering about, and since he split with Ryu, he became it." "So he's neither affected by light or the moon." "Bingo. The only part of the freak you see now that's really Osirus, is his arm. That's how you kill him." "Tear off his arm?" "And burn it." Azuran turned his head slightly. "But...I-I ripped it off a while ago..." "Wrong arm, idiot." Chinkan kneeled again beside Azuran. "This is a really bad timing. Azuran's hurt pretty bad." "Oh, right. He's not hurt nearly enough for what he just did."

James cursed under his breath when he saw Matt. "Jee-sas. I knew he looked bad but..." Mira shook her head. "He's gonna look a lot worse pretty soon. I'll go get Angel. Where's Cooler?" James took off down the hangar. "It ain't finished yet! The bum came in late!" He started laughing as his shoes clanked on the metal floor down the hall. He skidded to a halt when he saw his mech. An arm was missing, and half the chest and head plating was missing, revealing the dark wiring and flashing lights. James couldn't have been happier to see it. "Hey, Zeig!" He called out. "What do you want?" "I'll race you through the defensive barrier!" "You idiot! We're trying to escort Matt to the hospital, not go out for a joyride! "Swell, so are you in or out?!" "...You're on!" James flashed a wild grin as he climbed into the cockpit.

"What is he doing?!" Seichiro yelled, pointing at the monitor with Garai on it. Hak peered over. "Gee, looks like he's fighting to me." "You know what I mean! He's out there without a spacesuit or anything!" "So?" "So?! How's he doing that?! It's weird to-" A rumble interrupted him and knocked him off his feet. Hak growled and punched a few buttons. "Seichiro! Status report!" Seichiro rubbed his head, having hit it on a pannel board. He jumped to his feet suddenly and servayed the graphs. "Er... Sheilds at 84%!!" He looked over another graph and felt his heart jump into his throat. "Incomming Missles! And Demi's out there too!!" "Good she can take care of those missles." "Good?! GOOD?! Is not being able to breath in space just a myth these days?!"

This takes place after .hack//sign, but before the movie and the games. Kite and Blackrose aren't there yet, seeing how they were newbies. Any advice or information is appreciated. the old .hack//sign cast is still playing, plus Seig from Liminality, and anyone who wants to be anyone from either cast is welcome to. ~~~~~~~~ The ambulance sped down the road, it?s sirens blaring. The stretcher kicked out at the hospital as a young boy was wheeled down the hallway. The docter ran along the stretchers side, as a young girl talked to him between tears. ?A-and he didn?t respond! He just kept playing that stupid game!? ?Shh calm down. Your brother?s going to be fine. Did you notice any irregularitys before this?? ?No. He never left his room and was always playing that stupid game, but that?s normal. He never did anything like that in his entire life!? ?It?s going to be okay.? Flashback The door creaked open and the young girl peered inside with a bowl. A computor terminal glew faintly across the small room. There was a kid in the room, rummeging through a drawer. The young girl said something (lips move but you can?t hear) And the boy looked up. He said something back and pulled something out of his drawer. The young girl dropped the soup bowl and gasped? Flashback One Week Later A boy silently walked down the road, carying a backpack over one shoulder. Some of the people along the sides of the road were staring at him. He rolled his eyes at them as somebody jogged up next to him. ?Hato!? He looked and grinned. ?Hey Roki.? Roki panted out of breath and walked along side Hato. ?Geeze, I was calling your name all the way down the block. Did you go deaf?? Hato shook his head. Sorry, I was just thinking about something.? ?The hearing?? ?Yeah. I can?t stop imagining it. Attempted murder, that?s creepy.? ?What did you do?? ?Nothing.? ?Really?? ?I was just playing The World, that?s all. When I logged out, everything went black until I woke up in the hospital. They said I had blacked out for three days.? Hato, Roki, and the young girl are also playable, just PM me before you post. Just don?t sign up as Tsukasa.

Name: Manson Vashoncii Nick/Code name: Gender: male Age: 23 Description: Short, silver and spiked hair. Cold light blue eyes and black eyebrows. Pale skin and fanged teeth. White T-shirt, black leather jacket with spikes on the shoulders. Chain across jacket opening. Blue jeans, black boots, and black fingerless gloves. Dark blue ax-guitar on back. He's hot headed, loud, and freezes up when he meets a pretty girl Creature: werewolf- when in his true form he grows to seven feet tall. His mouth and nose jet like one on a dog, and he grows pure black fur. His posture is hunched and his eyes glow red. Trigger factor: A melody on a flute- He try's to avoid hearing it, but if even the slightest noise of it tickles his ears, he looses it.

An EMP is an electro magnetic pulse. It's supposed to deactivate all electronics in the area, but Ryu gave it a little...tweak. ----------------------- The man cursed and turned away. He held up a little speaker. "This is X, are you there?" "Good to hear you. Is she safe?" "She went to the luna, just as you thought. It's strange though, she acted like she didn't know his real intentions." "Maybe she doesn't. Anyways, I found the others. Shana is dead, so I guess that's one less thorn in their sides." "Can't say I'm too sorry." "Never mind that. Did anyone see your face?" "No, but that ***** cut a nice hole in my helmet. I'll need to get another a-sap." "Do so, but be at the rondevus point as planned, you need to debrief the others on Ryu's operation, the Wings of Chaos." "Don't remind me. Do you think Hakira will be safe here?" "Ryu can't kill her yet, she's safer there than with you." ----------- Ryu punched through the top of the elevator and ripped through it. Hakira landed as he climbed out. His first reaction was to slap her hard across the face. "If you EVER do anything like that again, I'll torture you 'till you beg for death!" His furious face calmed down. "There was someone there with you, who was it?" "I don't know." "Are you sure your not hiding something?...no, of course not, you still value your life. Come, we should go."

The elevator cart thundered and rumbled with Ryu's anger. "THIS WILL BE THE DEATH OF YOU IF YOU DON'T LET ME OUT!!" Hakira slowly turned around, to see the figure emerge from the shadows. The figure was wearing a black helmet to conceal his face, and a black chest plate. He ran at the elevator and kicked it down a little, revealing the rope. He hacked the rope off with a katana and jumped back, letting the elevator plumit. After he heard it crash, he slowly stood up and looked at Hakira. "What the hell's wrong with you?! I could have finished it right there but you had to have that episode!" He yelled, sheathing his katana. "Anyways, there's no time for that. Ryu's pissed and he's going to launch the EMP. We need to get out of here." He started walking across the room, ushering Hakira to come along. "Who are you?" "...I'm the guy 'they' sent in here to save your worthless butt."

Seichiro crashed out of bed as the ship shook violently. He looked around dazed before ramming his shoes on and bolting out the door. He darted back in for a second to rummage in his duffle bag. He pulled out something and jammed it into his pocket before taking off again. He bolted down the hall and almost collided with Hak. "Hakaru?! What's going on?!!" "Bad timing kid! And it's Hak!" He shouted back, running towards the cockpit. Seichiro stood confused for a moment, and looked out the window for an answer. Suddenly a black suction cup attatched itself to the window, making Seichiro jump back. "Bwaa!! What's going on?!" He spun around frantically and started running towards the cockpit again. Seichiro almost cracked his head on the cockpit door as he came bursting in. "What the heck is-" "Not now Seichiro! Garai's friend came for a visit." "What's with the suction cup?" "Suction cup? He must be trying to drag us in! I'll blast his pull wires before he gets the chance!"

Ijimeru stared up at the sky in the grunty field, thinking about those monsters. The sillohuette(however you spell it) of a female wavemaster stood above him, her features hidden by the sun. "Where is it that your friends are? I will find them whether or not you tell me." "All over one PK? You got issues lady." BT frowned. "It isn't about that. They were with Tsukasa when he collapsed." "So?" "27 other people collapsed, and in the real world 3 people were reported in a coma." "I see." "What's really weird, is that these are the same people that fell into a coma last time, Mai Minase and her boyfriend." "Then who's the third person?" "That would be Tsukasa." "Bummer." "Tsukasa's in critical condition. the heart rate is soaring, as if Tsukasa was running or..." "Is the little guy gonna be okay?" "It's a she." "...okay." "I have a theory. What if Tsukasa is still in the game, fighting a monster? That wold explain her heart rate." "Tsukasa collapsed, inside the game as well as out." "Yes, but have you checked the spot where she was?" "She isn't there, right?" "Yeah, Mimiru was with him after she collapsed, but they parted a little while later. Mimiru's pretty shaken up." "To see Tsukasa?" "...She won't talk much, but it was something that Tsukasa said. You should see if you could get any answers. Who knows, you may have better luck than me." "Thanks."

Heres a list of current location, although i am stumped to how they all got there: Radio Tower near where Aike lives: Ryu, Hakira San Diaz: Azuran Carmize Chinkan London: Miazmodon Vincent Dregen is somewhere... That's at least how I understand it... _______________ Ryu's stare remained unblinking as he slowly circled Hakira. "I was hoping to greet you with rejoice over your victory over Miazmodon, but it seems there was more to that encounter than meets the eye, isn't there? It seems you are still attatched to your old comrads, and even more to Miazmodon. Is this true? Of course, actions speak louder than words, and I am always watching. So, is there something you'd like to tell me?" A DD blade appeared out of his wrist while he stood at her back. Hakira spotted somebody crouching in the shadows in front of her. The figure seemed to be waving his arm as if to say "Get out of the way!" There was a gleam of silver metal from the figure as Ryu readied his blade to stab her. Hakira looked away for a moment and the figure was gone. "Do you have an answer? Hakira?"

Sorry! I've been a little preoccupied. James took the pictures and circled through them. He laughed when he saw Zeig being tortured. "Don't get any ideas." "Aw, that's no fun..." He flipped to the one of them together. He grinned at her. "Y'know, these are really good. You should join that one art thingy." "The art club. Yeah, but the members are all too serious about it, like the only way they could be happy is if they learned to eat and breath the stuff. I like my own way." James streached back and looked up at the sky. "...It bugs me." "???" "Have you ever thought about what's up there?" "Yes. We covered it in Astromany." "But how do you know for sure? You haven't been there." "There are a lot of studies on that stuff, with all of the information they have, it would be impossible for it all to be fake." "But what if it all is? What's really outside of Kakashki? Is the entire world really like this? How come nobody can leave?" "...I don't know." They remained silent for a while, just staring up at the sky. James sat up after a while. "Know what? We're going to find out for ourselves. When the time comes, we'll take off and never look back."

Ryu sat calmly with his arms around Hakira. "This may sting, but it is necissary." He said, pulling out a small syringe needle from his pocket. He took hold of one of Hakira's arms and pushed the needle in. A small amount of blood swirled up the needle and into the tube. He removed the needle and dabbed Hakira's arm with a cotton ball. "There, it's over." He produced a DD blade that was still smeared with Miazmodon's blood. He kept his arm around Hakira to keep her under his will. Hakira was helpless, as the blade danced in circles in front of her. Something shifted above. Ryu didn't kill her though, instead he cleaned the blade and dripped the blood into a vile. The blade dissapeared and the vile was returned to his pocket, along with the syringe carrying Hakira's blood. "That wasn't so bad, was it?" He said, lifting the spell on Hakira so she could move again.

James calmly walked down the street, blending in like a normal pedestrian. He watched amused as people ran around frantically from one place to the next. One kept jumping from building tops, like a deranged chimp in James's opinion. He calmly walked down the street and sat on a bench next to a man reading the newspaper. "You were to kill them. Anybody associated with Charlotte. That was our deal." The man said. "I didn't like our deal. I decided to make a new one." The man sighed and flicked through the pages. "Why do you think I put the control circut in your arm?" "I like the attatchment, along with the other one. And I think you put the control circut in so you could watch Kilo throw the object of Charlotte's desire into the horizon." "Whcih reminds me, he just came running back with a book in his mouth. Any ideas?" "That's weird. Oh well. Areis was bound to be exposed sooner or later." "I don't care about Areis! I care about my company and it's weaknesses being exposed! I didn't break you out jail for nothing!" "I don't give a crap about your company. All I want, is revenge."

Ryu appeared at the scyscraper. Hakira was already there, she had to stay while Ryu took care of that buisness with Miazmodon. She was staring out the window at the sea of dead bodies. "Aren't they beautiful? Hakira, I was hoping one of you would get to see this." "Wh-" "Shhh." Ryu pulled out the device again. "Watch closely." He pushed a blue button, and a grey fog hid them all. It stayed like that for five minutes, before it cleared. The scenary hadn't changed. Until suddenly, one of the corpses twitched. It slowly rose to it's feet, a vacant look in it's dead eyes. Hakira gasped as more of them started to get up and walk towards the building. "Isn't it magnificant? An entire army just to help our cause. It's the beginning of the end, Hakira, beginning of the end of humans..."

"oops." Seichiro said stupidly, getting up. He couldn't help but chuckle at Anya's toppled over position. "Thanks a bunch. I'll make sure to call you when i need help being a klutz." Anya said sarcastically, getting up. "Sorry. Couldn't resist." He grinned. Anya walked closer to him and bashed him on the side of the head. "What was that for?!" "Couldn't resist." She mimicked. "But now we're even." Seichiro rubbed his head and grinned. "Fair enough. But you didn't have to hit so hard." "Did anyone ever tell you that you're a wimp?" "Yeah, you." He let out a small laugh.

Sei'ichi'ro sat on a cold stone step outside of the Prophet Knight's training arena. His short sword, the Sorugimasa, spun idely in his hand. The engravings on the blade seemed to blur and refocus a few times, and Sei'ichi'ro had to shake his head to keep from falling asleep. He hated long waits, and this one was going on three hours. The sky was a swirling grey as a foggy full moon barely manedged to pierce the clouds with it's shine. In it's light, Sei'ichi'ro could clearly make out the shadows of two people, just the people he was waiting for. He stood up and sheathed his blade, keeping it loose just in case. "Sei'ichi'ro." One of them greeted him as he passed. Sei'ichi'ro's nostril's flared when he smelt the burning flesh from within the arena. "Prick." Sei'ichi'ro greeted back. He hated how the two trained, killing off hundreds just to break a sweat. Sei'ichi'ro always preferred going on a hunt, or sometimes grabbing a wooden sword to bash the prisioners heads in, but not kill them; they were too weak to kill, no fun. "You two are pretty early this time. Make sure you get your fill of mutilating there corpses?" "You know, all that rightous "human life is precios" crud is really tiring." "Human life isn't precios, it's just boring. And shut your trap before I decide to shut it for you." He said back. The two turned back to him. "A challenge?" It wasn't odd for Sei'ichi'ro to pick a fight with anybody he didn't like, as long as they were worthy. He grinned and turned around to face the two. "Yeah, good to see you can recognise it." He unsheathed the Sorugimasa and pointed it at them. "Are you going to stand there around like dummies or are you going to accept?"

Isamu watched Kira walk away before he turned back to Tal'nin. "Why don't you make like her and get the heck out of here?" "Do you really think you're going to evolve over night? How do you think the Hydrans first evolved?" "They did it out of necessity, and so can I!" Isamu's eyes burned with anger. "Why do you want to breath underwater so quickly? You can already hold your breath for longer than you'll ever need under there." Tal'nin didn't bat an eyelid as Isamu's schimitar shot out of the sheath. "Be cause I need to find-...." He stopped for a moment. "...this conversation has gone on long enough. I need to do what my genes are ment for, end of story." He started to walk away, this time farther up on land. Tal'nin kicked the sand. "Genes are ment to contain potential possabilities, not goals for anyone to force out of them. They will develope eventually, you can't force-" "Stuff it."

Okay, I posted this in the origional recruitment, but I'd like to avoid confusion, so... -- Name: James Age: 20 Gender: male Race: mysterious creation Appearance: Messy black mid-length hair, blue jacket with yellow collar, blue jeans white t-shirt and red sneakers.
