( physical description) Arwen has a small, slight frame. She stands at about 5'2". She has pale, alabaster skin and violet cybernetic eyes. Her hands and calves are also cybernetic. Her hairstyle is a platinum pixie cut that she tends to like to add a punk style to.
[ PERSONALITY ] El is the spoiled, rich, troublemaker type with a soft spot for humans and occasionally a synthcoke junkie. El is a relatively friendly and outgoing sort of girl. She is the life of the party and never one to back down from a challenge. While she is relatively lackadaisical and easy-going most of the time, she is quick to flip when certain buttons are pressed and won't hesitate to act if she feels threatened.
» strength(s): bravery; money; socialite; connections; strength
» weakness(es): claustrophobia; astraphobia; drug addiction; temper; dramatic
» like(s): sweets; dancing; games; adventures; exploring places beyond the Elite stratosphere

[ HISTORY ] Arwen had a relatively pleasant childhood. She grew up in a home where both of her parents loved their only daughter dearly and she wanted for nothing. She was privileged, attended the best schools, played with only the most deserving children, and was waited on hand and foot. She had always enjoyed her life. Things took a detour, however, when one of her music lessons ended early on account of her teacher's sudden family emergency. As a result, seven-year-old Arwen arrived home to find her father having cuddle time with one of the maids, Greta. Arwen had always liked Greta, she would sneak her sweets and let her skip violin practice on occasion. Arwen's young mind didn't quite comprehend what was happening at the time and she didn't quite understand why her father pulled her aside to tell her that it had to be kept a secret from Mommy and that it was perfectly normal for adults to have secret cuddle sessions from time to time.
True to her word, Arwen didn't speak to her mother about Greta and Dad's cuddle time, but she asked her mother when she would be old enough to do the cuddle time and one question led to another... In the end, Greta stopped coming to work and Arwen was sad she didn't have her friend anymore, but the other maids and butlers were kind enough, so she learned to move on.
One rainy day, the young heiress was ecstatic to find Greta had come to pick her up from school. She was waiting with her favorite treat and the same smile Arwen had known and loved. She couldn't remember what had happened after that, but she woke up in the trunk of a moving car, the air cold and damp from the rain. She called for the maid to no avail until the car eventually stopped. Suddenly, something was banging loudly against the car alongside the rattling thunder as Greta shouted angry, ugly things at her. The maid screamed things like "you ruined everything" and "he would have been mine" amongst other things. Arwen wasn't sure how long it went on until there were gunshots, a final thump against the trunk, and the smell of iron seeping into the dark place amongst the rain. Not soon after, it was a flurry of lights sounds, blankets that the young girl could hardly keep up with until she was shivering under blankets in the back of an ambulance while a policewoman questioned her, and her parents were crying and shouting in the background.
Despite the moment of ugliness, her life resumed almost as normal. Her parents stayed married; Arwen became a bit of a social "elephant in the room" for a period of time, but eventually recovered. She began seeing a therapist, but she didn't like to talk much in her sessions, preferring to focus on other things. As far as her behavior, she had been docile for a while, but slowly recovered her bubbly personality with only occasional angry outbursts. Somehow, she even learned to trust some of the other human butlers and maids again, befriending one of their children at one point. She became fascinated by the world she had been so sheltered from all her life.
In college, Arwen utilized her newfound freedom a little too much. She went to many parties, from Elite to illegal and at some point was exposed to synthcoke. The drugs made her feel alive in a whole new way that made her addicted.

Ji Mei, I made an errand boy for Holly :) he's going to be nice and angsty, though, so I'm wondering if maybe he can also be an acquaintance of Kang-Dae as kind of like occasionally he will go to Kang-Dae for extra errand boy work semi-Vesper, but not necessarily related kind of work?
Sounds good I will add her :)
[ NAME: ] Cyrus Thomas West» alternatives: "Cy" [usually by family members or close friends for short], "Rusty" [usually by party friends]
*Cyrus = "lord"
[ GENDER: ] Male
(sexuality) Heterosexual
[ AGE: ] 26
[ RACE: ] Cyborg
(faction/affiliation) Elite
(occupation) in line to be next CEO of family company

(view spoiler)
( physical description) Cyrus stands at around 6'2" and has an athletic build, but not to the point that he has a 6-pack. He exercises for the sake of looks and health as opposed to physical sport. He has rather pale skin, but a slight tan from spending time outdoors, napping under a tree. His hair is bleached platinum blond and his eyes glow sky blue. He has cybernetic eyes, left ear, and right arm.
[ PERSONALITY ] Cyrus is a guy people like to be friends with. He can get you into almost any party, pay for expensive meals without care, and and can drive you anywhere in some fancy car or other. Not only this, but he's easy-going and charming. He's always down for exciting adventures or the latest thrill. That said, Cyrus absolutely hates people having expectations of him (for example, constantly expecting him to pay for things, or having someone scold him about his job performance when he's going to inherit the company anyway... that sort of thing). Cyrus, while endearing, is not always the most reliable person because he can be self-centered at times when he should be thinking of others.
» strength(s): wealth; privilege; connections; charming; not easily intimidated; engineering background
» weakness(es): no passion, drive, or determination; resolved to play his role; lacks intention
» like(s): parties; thrills; learning new things; spontaneity
» dislike(ѕ): eating alone; the mundane; people having unrealistic expectations of him; judgmental people
[ HISTORY ] Cyrus was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He wanted for nothing as a child. Any toy, snack, or robot that he had his eye on, was his the moment he asked. His parents had more of an authoritarian relationship with their children. It had always been clear to the boys that Max would be groomed to become the next CEO of the family company and that Cyrus would support his brother and take over some of the branches. Despite this, Atlas, his father, constantly used the brothers to compete against one another so that they would be encouraged to work harder and do better. This, unfortunately, made the siblings hate each other more than anything. While the winner was rewarded with love and attention, the loser would be left bitter, thinking of ways to outdo the other next time or sabotage each other at the next test.
By the time Cyrus was twelve, the stress had drove each boy to extremes. While Cyrus began showing his frustration through thrill-seeking behavior, Maximus had turned, unfortunately, to synthcoke. At this point, the brothers' relationship turned from bad to even worse. Originally, Maximus disliked Cyrus, but now that has turned to hate. Max blamed Cyrus for all his struggles and at one point, while he was high, tried to set Cyrus's bed on fire while he was asleep. Cyrus was hurt, but it wasn't anything that couldn't be fixed with cybernetics. After the incident, Maximus became estranged from his family and Cyrus became the new heir to the family company.
Cyrus doesn't know where his brother is now, but he could care less. Without the competitive atmosphere, Cyrus thought he would finally be able to rest, but his father, ever the perfectionist, wouldn't have it. He continues to cast guilt upon Cyrus that he will "end up like your brother if he doesn't get his act together".
At some point when Cyrus left for college, he decided he didn't care what his dad said, he was done competing with the vision his father had for him and stopped trying. He decided to invest his time in things and people he liked. Of course, while he could never quite escape his name or future, he could enjoy his time until then. Once he graduated, his parents bought him his apartment in exchange for starting work at the family company. Cyrus enjoys his growing freedom to the fullest.

[ OTHER ] Cyrus loves sweets. Pastries, candy, chocolate, you name it, he will eat it. He is also surprisingly good at building things with his hands.

Is it cool if I put other elite characters as Arwen's relations? I feel like she has probably met a lot of other socialite elites at like elite gatherings such as galas, parties, college, etc.I think she would also have a drug dealer and maybe some human acquaintances that she might have met at a party.
I also have this older guy, hugh, who i'm thinking might have a secret daughter/child in their 30s if anyone was interested in doing that (not super necessary, but just a thought. I'm also want him to have some sort of business that can function as a neutral ground/safe haven for unaffiliated or people down on their luck.
I think I'm going to make Arwen an elite, synthcoke junkie, free-spirit kind of girl. potential collabs: her drug dealer being a vesper, party friends, booty calls, people she sneaks out to see in the slums
Hey :) I don't know if you've ever heard of the game "the world ends with you" but I started replaying it recently and the music sometimes gives me some cyberpunk-esque feels.Here's a link to the complete music collection from the game, but there's a list beneath of the different tracks, which you can click and listen to:

What would be some good ideas for large companies? Aside from tech development companies?
[ NAME: ] Marianne Wynter» alternatives: Mari
[ GENDER: ] Female
(sexuality) Heterosexual
[ AGE: ] 26
[ RACE: ] Human
(faction/affiliation) Unaffiliated
(occupation) Maid; Singer at Bar 404 and occasionally The Flux for private events
[ APPEARANCE: ]
(view spoiler)
( physical description) Mari has a lean, near emaciated build due to her poor nutrition. She has honey tanned skin and striking green eyes that have been compared to bright peridot or emerald. Her hair is chocolate brown and naturally curls into a wave (though it gets even curlier and frizzier in the rain or humid environments). Her hands have burn marks from an incident with a past family she used to work for.
[ PERSONALITY ] Mari is a survivor. She has learned to keep her head down and make her way day by day, but is not above stealing bites of food here and there when she is particularly starved. Mari tends to ignore the struggles of others and knows not to get in the way of those above her station. That said, she is someone who will sacrifice everything for her family. Mari doesn't have many pastimes, but she likes to hum quietly to herself while she works or even sing a little tune when she can. She loves hearing stories told by others, but she isn't particularly well-read. Mari struggles academically but is a diligent, hard-working woman.
» strength(s): cooking; cleaning; eavesdropping; singing; frugality
» weakness(es): empathy; social status; physically weak; dyslexia; pride
» like(s): singing; listening to stories; eating; dogs
» dislike(ѕ): the upper classes (generally); being talked down to; anyone who would dare hurt her family or animals; being asked about her scars; drug dealers and junkies
[ HISTORY ] Mari's mother was also a human from the slums, but she had a drug addiction that she'd never been able to shake. She had her good days when Mari was younger, but she died giving birth to Mari's younger sibling when Mari was about eight years old. Mari was never told who her father was, but she knew her sibling had a different one. After her mother died, Mari and her baby brother stayed at an orphanage in the slums. She took care of Callum as though she were his mother to the best of her ability as they grew up, often sacrificing her own meals so that her baby brother wouldn't cry out of hunger. It had been the two of them against the world. When Mari was old enough to start working, she used to be a slum messenger, but hardly earned enough to feed herself, let alone Callum. She eventually got a job as a garbage collector, but the hours were too long and she constantly smelled and looked like garbage. When she got her first assignment training as a maid, she was fifteen. She thought she'd finally made it. The other maids were kind to her and supportive, understanding of her need to take care of her brother. Unfortunately, the son of the family she worked for saw her take some of the family's leftovers one day and told his parents. Apparently, no one had told Mari to NEVER take leftover food from the family, even leftover scraps. As punishment for her theft, scalding water was poured over her hands to remind her never to steal again. After this incident, one of the maids she was working with was able to find her another job, for which Mari is forever grateful. The new family seemed kinder and Mari never made the mistake of taking food scraps again. She stayed with the new family for a while, but after a few years, she switched to a new job with better pay. Finally, she and Callum were able to make enough money between the two of them to afford a small apartment just outside the slums. Mari also makes a little bit of money by singing occasionally at Bar 404 or The Flux when they have an opening.
» family/relation(s):
-Rosarie Wynter: mother; deceased; human; Mari has very mixed feelings about her mother and memories can be both fond and resentful.
-Callum Wynter: brother; 18; human; undecided occupation[perhaps factory line employee]; Callum is Mari's world and she does everything within her power to protect him.
[ OTHER ] Will eat just about anything edible. If she smiles at you, she is probably flipping you off in her mind. Can't afford pets, but dotes on the pets of the families she works for.

Maybe they’re kidnapping Elite synthcoke addicts?
Maybe she witnessed an abduction?
Wrong place/wrong time situation?
yeah or like people who see too much/know too much kind of thing?
Ji Mei wrote: "I've had similar ideas as to who the kidnappers are. Personally, I'm leaning more towards some Elites are behind it. I like the idea that the remote control disguised as welcome gifts. Perhaps in t..."what if the Elite's are kidnapping and controlling people as a way to infiltrate the untouchable resistance? Like they could take regular humans from the slums (who would miss the dirt of society? And then they could use them to spy/blend in with the background?
Ok I'll adjust her bio!
Hi Sarah!!! It's been forever! How are you?Oh, I thought that was the shady/low class club I may have made a mistake...
According to google/wiki: A pink-collar worker refers to someone working in the care-oriented career field or in fields historically considered to be women's work. This may include jobs in the beauty industry, nursing, social work, teaching, secretarial work, or child care.
Ji Mei wrote: "DragonDreamer wrote: "Collaboration idea: I have a human maid. maybe she could work for an elite family? Or maybe she sings at the nightclub sometimes when they have an empty slot? potentially she ..."Ok I will put that in her bio
Ji Mei wrote: "For the male elite, he could be a party buddy with Orion perhaps. Maybe they even were old college buddies or maybe even earlier like boarding school?"Ok that could work! Though, they have a bit of an age difference. I guess I can make my guy a year or two younger?
