You are an 'Exmortal' Convict
« on: September 18, 2015, 03:51:09 pm »

A deathless rattle from the past.

All you want is revenge.

A blaring klaxon spurs you forward, there is no turning back. You've been in a fugue state for the past six weeks, driven to this place by a heedless, but righteous, intoxicating rage. You used to work for a hotshot megacyst ganger, the top dog in the area. You lived and died for him and his gang, and when you were reborn in one of those God forsaken pod banks, someone was there to chop you up and turn you from a pod baby into a full fledged cyborg. It was a pretty sweet gig, truth be told. Most convicts come back with all kinds of defects, and eventually they come out as insane cannibals or worse. You at least have a leg up above the others when you're reborn. Not anymore though. You'll be lucky to eat a bullet right out the pod next time you come back. Worst case, you'll be a renewable source of fresh meat for those aforementioned cannibal psychos...

But it will be worth it. You'd die a hundred more times if it meant you got the chance to kill the guy that ruined everything.

While you are marching through the dark corridors, intermittently illuminated by an orange-red beacon, your mind drifts back to the past...

What is your name?

What used to be your profession, before you were convicted?

What is your crime?
