The future..it was supposed to be a new beginning. Technology erupted and computers became the dominate,humans become just mere underlings some reprogramed to do their bidding. Some humans chose to flee and become outcasts..or sub-dwellers as the computers termed them. Cities were destroyed and became hideouts for the lowest. Computerised cities were built to float above these undergrounds,only those fortunate enough to side with the computers were allowed there.
The underground was made up of run down slums,burnt out ruins of the former towns.Groups of dwellers chose the bars and clubs here to do their business.Bulletin boards held ads for mercenaries and bounty hunters alike to do odd jobs. Killing,recovering stolen properties,or any other low job that higher up humans deemed unworthy of themselves doing. One small bar was run down,but the many people floating around in it were obviously dwellers. Their worn clothing,various weapons attatched to their bodies. Some were hiding in the shadows waiting for an opprotunity to emerge. The bar keep was a small female,her shaggy cut shoulder length white hair touching just below her shoulders,her bangs covering one side of her face,hiding the scar that lay along her eye and cheek.
Her body was lithe and toned,shorter than most in the bar at 5 foot 4 but her hard eyes told those around her she was no creampuff. The black leather jacket rested over a a dingy white tank top,the straps of her shoulder holster visible when she moved. Her black leather pants hugged her hips and thighs just right,the muscles in her legs also appearent. She was known here as Ryha,short for Ryhannon,on the floating cities she was known just by a barcode tattooed behind her left ear behind the scar she bore from an old prison fight.The barcode was simply a number..2647. She had went to prison after being caught for smuggling,a 10 year prison sentence she served from the age of 16.
She had been out for less than a year before Manny had hired her to help in his bar. It wasnt easy getting his attention,a few bar fights with several men and woman much bigger than her and her prison record finally gained her his trust. She kept one slight fact hidden from most except for Manny. She was not 100% human anymore. While in prison she had lost her arm from the elbow down in a blindsided attack,the prison grid had relaced it with a cybernetic arm. She usually wore long sleeves when she didnt have her jacket on and a glove. She was considered part of the grid..someone who could be dangerous to both humans and computers alike. She chose the former going back to her human roots and life.
It had not been easy for her,men thought she was weak and vulnerable,taking shots at her when they could. She had to prove herself in many fights,each fight making her harder,colder to any around her but a few select friends. This got her a rep of being a hard ass and many tough running jobs fell her way. This night she just lazed around the bar,watching those around her. Seeing newcomers trying to fit in but getting their hopes dashed with each try. She shook her head remembering how it used to be. She looked up when the door swung open,the man that walked in was someone she had never seen before. He outsized any other man in the place,she couldnt tell much about his features with them hidden among his hoodie,his coat dragging to the floor concealed his body also.
He went to a table in the dark corner and sat down,the waitress hurried over and then brought his order back to her. Ryha frowned at the order,just a glass of water. This was odd for anyone to torder since water was a very expensive items in the underground. Alcohol and whiskey were the easiest thing to find,but water was limited by the computers above them. She poured a small glass of water and tagged it with a price code,nodding to the waitress. Watching her return to the man's side,she was suprised when the man paid with real money and not credits.Looking over her shoulder to Manny,who just shrugged and went back into the small grimy kitchen off the bar.
"WHo the hell is this?"She thought to herself,her skin itched with her anxiety. New people made her nervous.She reached up and made sure her scar and barcode were hidden by her hair,no sense drawing unwanted attention to herself since she had failed to report in to her probie the last 2 times. SHe knew eventually they would put her back on the recapture list,the grid had ways of finding people if they got careless. She was not about to go back to prison,for anything.
Turning her gaze from the man,she wiped down the counter,her attention drawn away by a fight breaking out at the end of the bar. She sighed and in the flash of an eye she had vaulted over the counter and had one man by the throat with her robotic arm,squeezing tight but not enough ti kill him."There is to be no fighting in here..if ya need to fight take it out back."She sneered into the larger mans face. His expression was of pure shock at the little woman before him managing to subdue him that easily. He nodded quickly rubbing his neck as he moved towards the backdoor,"Bitch.."Ryha heard him say under his breathe as he left. Shaking her head she turned and tossed her towel onto the bar,calling out to Manny.
"Manny..Im done for the night.It's all yours."She yelled heading towards the door,not looking back as she walked out into the dark,damp street,the sun hardly ever shined down this far and things were always chilly and wet. She turned and walked along the sidewalk towards the small apartment she rented from Manny. She listened as footsteps sounded behind her,looking over her shoulder she spied the shadows ducking off into an alcove.
She gripped the butt of one of her guns,tensing with what was to come. She wasnt prepared for a 2 sided attack. The board caught her jaw from in front of her,she spun,going to her knee. Blood pouring from the split lip,spitting she stood. The three men surrounding her grinning like idiots. One was the man she kicked out of the bar.
"Watch her left arm...shes a Cyber."The man growled out as he lunged. The 2 other men lunged also,she ducked taking one man down easily,the larger man she ahd fought with earlier managed another hit to her face,this time her nose burst.Blood running down into her mouth,spitting once more sheswung her arm out. The smaller of the trio felt his windpipe shatter and he gurgled falling to the ground,choking on his own blood. She looked up to face the large man,her grin made him narrow his eyes at her.
"What gives..You crazy...."He said as he pulled out a knife and moved around her,trying to figure out her weakest point. SHe didnt give him time to find it,moving with him she spun into a crouch taking his feet out from under him.He went to the ground cursing as she leapt onto his chest,her arm pressed against his throat.
"You tell whoever sent you..Im not so easy to kill."She pressed until he had blacked out and she stood,wiping her human hand across her face,the blood from her nose and lip staining her hand."Shit.."She muttered as she began to walk once more. The grid had put her on the seeker list finally.She made it back to her place and made sure all the securities were secured before relaxing a bit. She was deep shit in trouble now..Most people thought she had went to prison for her smuggling,yeah that was part of it,but mostly she had tried to fry the systems. The info she had in a micro along the back of her neck was valuable for anyone friend or foe,she held the encrypted "Keystone"file. To get it either way could be a good thing for the underground but also the computers wanted her dead to keep that info out of other hands. She walked over to the small dresser she had and pulled her few meager things out. She attatched her guns back onto her hips,but also added her knives to her hidden sheathes along her calves. She had to get out and get out fast.
((Looking for one male to rp this ..I left the physical appearance of the man in the bar open to whomever takes the role..IM with a brief bio and intro and I will see if you fit in..want this to be a good drawn out storyline..thanks for reading.))
