Holy Diver

Welcome to Providence City America, cirta 2364 AD. Spanning about 200,000 miles in diameter hanging just off the coast of California like a cancerous growth. A fully realized technological marvel and a “paradise” of late stage capitalism, offering the mere illusion of a more “evolved” civilization no longer adhering to the old ways when in truth the old status quo is very much alive still feeding off the lower class like a parasite. And now going against the system is punishable by having your very alienable rights stripped from you and being treated as a pariah on social media, death would be much for favorable…..so naturally the suicide rates are at an all time high (and a frequent source of meat for fast food chains). Truly is a wonderland of stagnant progress……much better than the alternative. About 80% of North America lies in ruin, terraformed into a hellscape of alien crystal and bio flesh following the events of the Great Cataclysm, details of which are now lost to time. Anyone who cannot afford to leave the continent will have to brave this hellscape for a chance of freedom.

Such is the sad state of affairs that two very unlucky street rats find themselves in. Forced to live day by day under the oppressive rule of corporate greed. Waiting for the last straw to give them cause for unleashing the strange power that they each possess to burn this nightmarish status quo to the ground…..and then they are contacted by a mysterious freedom fighter, one Poppy Quocks, who has a proposition for them both….

Fredrick “Frisk” Mercury {MASKED KILLER ECHO} [Marc Soskin]

Caucasian American, age 20, femboy, gay. 5 feet 3 inches. An all in one sex machine that can rock your world for the right price. Spunky, perky, dazzling, alluring, passionate, tenacious, professional butt chugger, consistent five star rating……and homeless. Living off the streets of Providence City not even allowed to stay at a hotel unless he’s with a client, having to give up 80% of his earnings to his pimp Valentino Vox, left with barely enough to eat for a given week. Not to mention he has to keep taking vaccination for the sexually transmitted Hellfire Disease which gives him constant hot flashes in his neither regions if he doesn’t keep up with treatments. It is a horrible life bar none. The only thing that keeps him going is his adopted sibling Chrost Matoi, this little genderless brat that just dropped into his life about three years ago and became his best friend. In caring for Chrost he found new purpose, the very purpose that made it possible for him to don the Masked Killer Bat Driver becoming the notorious gentlemen thief Echo.

[MASKED KILLER ECHO] {Laura Bailey}

-Vicious Driver [BAT]; A predominantly bluish black outer armor further amplifying the femboy’s feminine build, granting him the unique speed and finesse of a catwoman. Height does not change in this form. His affinity for music has twisted the sound based capabilities of the Bat Driver, mutating them from mere sound based abilities to more drastic influence over the very wavelengths of reality itself letting him stop time in short controlled bursts! -{SKIP}- Instantaneously fast forwards time about 6 seconds in a manner much like jump cutting. -{PAUSE}- A full on time stop that lasts for up to 6 seconds. -{REPLAY}- Instantaneously rewinds time back about 6 seconds in a manner much like jump cutting. -{MUTE}- Nullifies all sound for 6 seconds thereby rendering the very concept of causality null and void, for example, attacks from enemies don't do any damage. Using any of these time based abilities will tax Echo greatly, using them too much could endanger his life.

-Overkill Core [WIDOW]; A red and blue inner armor that grants him the ability to spin seemingly infinite webs from his fingertips. Not only that it grants him the ability to shrink down to the size of a quarter increasing his molecular density and magnifying his strength to Herculean. He can only sustain this shrunken form for at least 30 seconds.

THE MASKED KILLERS

Augmented humans wearing quantum mechanical biotech armors that all but make their biology inhuman. Easily identified by their monstrously shaped graffiti like eyes and having no mouth or nose. Originally created by an underground criminal empire known as Shade for the purpose of being an elite assassin taking out police forces, political targets and “undesirables”. But then came the first Masked Killer Echo who destroyed Shade leaving the Masked Killers without a master, the technology thus vanishing into the underworld for anyone to find and use to their own ends.....

-Vicious Driver; A distinct belt with a unusually large buckle like device, pumped full of viviparous animal genomes via internal quantum quartz data chips. This provides the quantum mechanical Ambrosia energy that encases the user in a fully developed battle armor giving them strength and abilities beyond imagination.

-Overkill Core; A concentrated pocket of oviparous animal genomes digitized and crystallized into a perpetual energy battery. Once plugged into the Vicious Driver, the Masked Killer is brought to life, giving them specific elemental capabilities indicative of the oviparous genomes stored in the core.
