Conducted by Personnel and Resources Officer Rita Macnamara Rita: What is your name? Adam: Adam Byron. Rita: Where were you born? Adam: Appalachian. Seventeen Hundred Eight-Nine. Rita: So you're two hundred and twenty-five? Is this a joke. Adam: Oh I assure you this is no joke. Rita: Then what are you? It's sunny outside so I assume you're not a vampire. Are you a shifter? Adam: Nope. I'm human. Ish... Got a nice little certificate from the Government of the United States of America signed by President Regan a while back recognizing me officially as a human citizen of the United States of America and thanking me for over a hundred years of loyal service protecting this fine country along with it's interests. Rita: Then what makes you human, and how do you explain the "Ish"? How are you different those who are not human? Adam: Other than a conglomerate of enhanced organs, enhanced muscle groups, and a denser more advanced skeleton not a whole lot. My anatomy follows the same design purpose as yours. My physiology works the same way. Only I'm stronger, faster, and a hell of a lot harder to kill. Also I have a heart beat, I draw breath, and I have rational thought. I also don't subsist off blood or human flesh. Just a ton of calories to keep going. I've been kicked out of all you can eat buffets. Not to mention when I get hurt a doctor has to physically repair, replace, or completely reconstruct parts of my body. Can't replace this brain though. So if you want me dead you better shoot me in the head, and enough times to make sure I don't come back. Damage by fire is incredibly hard to repair. So I don't really care for it. Fire.... It kills anything.... Go figure..... Speaking of that. Not much different from the supernatural. You inflict enough trauma to a degree of where they so much energy than they can take in they can't heal and they die. You inflict enough trauma my whole cellular structure and body is going to say 'I quit' then shut down. I can't really heal. It take a while for new parts to settle in and get to where they can be used fully. Toss either one of us out a plane at twenty thousand feet and we're pulp. Drop a building on us and we're paste. There is no surviving that level of trauma. Brain can only survive so long without oxygen. So take a guess on how we feel about water. Only in my case if I don't swim I sink like a lead weight. How am I different from the supernatural? I am a creature of science and dark alchemy. The powers of the supernaturals do not apply to me. I cannot be hypnotized. Telepathy just picks up static or a void of black. Emotions cannot be projected onto me. It takes a moment, but I can see through illusions. Basically my body is a magic dead zone. Only external and physical can affect me. Rita: Don't you think it's kind of a bad idea to share that information? Adam: Kind of. Only your most of your personnel files are confidential. Not to mention if you leak it I'll take you to a hell in which you cannot possibly imagine. Rita:...... I'll remember that..... Can you be turned into a vampire or shifter? Adam: Nope. Biting is a turn on sometimes. Any other time. It's just plain annoying. I wasn't born. I was created. I guess you can say that given that I do not have a soul, born into the whole sin thing, or inherently flawed as man I cannot carry on that curse. Rita: Going back to your talk of anatomy and physiology. Does that mean you were created? Like Frankenstein? Adam: Yep. Only Frankenstein was the scientist not the monster, and I'm not an angst depressed whiner. Much older though. I kind of was having a bit of a fling with Ms. Shelley. Sue me. I was horny and didn't feel like working. Do you really think she would tell you where she got the real idea? Rita: So you were brought to life.... Technically you're undead.... Adam: Yeah... Even though necromancers have no power over me. I was given true life. Rita: So who created you? Adam: Erasmus Byron. Rita: What happened to him? Adam: I killed him. My first punch splintered his rib cage and stopped his heart. I pulled his arms off his body and twisted his head off after that. Rita: Brutal. Why did you do it? Adam: Eh... You know how babies are when they're born. Angry, scared, and hurt. I wasn't feeling that well with the whole electricity and life giving. So I had a little tantrum. Rita: One heck of a tantrum. You're a lot smaller than I imagined. Not as hideous either. How did you manage that? Also wouldn't you age and your appearance change? Adam: This is where the "Ish" in "Human-Ish" comes from. I'm still trying to understand it. Guess you could call it a step in genetic evolution and cellular improvement. I don't know how Erasmus did it, but his genes made an imprint in my genetic code. My skin tone will always be the same as his. Along with my eye and hair color. Changes. Even if I take skin graphs and body parts from someone different. Facial bones seem to change on their own. Never really age because I'm always taking in new parts. My body isn't picky so it doesn't reject anything. As far as not looking hideous. I learned to be handy with surgeon tools. Not to mention plastic surgery has improved since the first world war. Rita: You mentioned that the government thanked you for a hundred years of service. What do you mean? Adam: I cannot tell you too much. Much of it is classified. Only I've participated in almost every conflict the US has been involved in since the first World War. Declassified material recognizes my service in the battle of Verdun, Normandy, Bastone, Chosin Reservoir, Ia Drang, and the Fall of Saigon. I've never been part of US Army Special Forces or MACVSOG though. I have worked with the OSS and SOE however. I have offered my services in combating Nazi and Soviet use of supernatural para-military units. Rita: So the Nazis actually used supernaturals? Adam: Soviets too. Exact details are still classified, but with all vamps and shifters coming out it should be declassified someday. Rita: So I take it you have a great deal of experience in the law enforcement field? Adam: I'll have to dust off all the qualification certificates. Those I can't account for I can re-cert on. If it's a weapon I can use it. If you have information I need I will make you tell me what it is. If I need to find you I will. Rita: So you're not opposed to violence? Adam: Nor do I appove of it being used senselessly. I have morals too, and I believe order must be maintained. Rita: What do you mean? Adam: One thing you and everyone else needs to get over is the nice sparkly side of the supernaturals. There is a nastier darker side that all of you seem to be over looking. The marshals, while formidable, are unwilling and unfamiliar with it. Your department is just now learning about it. My father created me to be the sum of all men. I am the wall to keep the darkness from spilling over into your world. So you need me. Rita: ........... So....... When can you start? Adam: Today. Tomorrow. Now.... Rita: Are you affiliated with Humans First or Humans Against Vampires? Adam: Sadly they don't recognize my status as human. Rita: Okay.... Well... We'll call you okay? I'll just have to send this up through admin..... Adam: I've got all the time in the world.... Trust me.... Okay! Write all about yourself in here! Include your name, age, and a way that we can reach you. Just like I did, bold those sections! After you get all of that you can tell us anything else you want to mention about yourself. Favorite book, how many pets ya got, other characters you have. . . whatever! |

ADMIN EDIT: Janitor, fill the bottom portion of the bio out. I've replaced it in the format when I was fixing your bio and the coding.
