Quote: "They wrote in the old days that it was sweet and fitting to die for one's country. But in modern war, there is nothing sweet or fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason." --- Ernest Hemingway
Comments:
1) He is Subject Number 15, and despite his flaws - notably the albinism gene that was erroneously included in his DNA - he is the closest Zymogenetics' Project 73 ever came to a success.
2) Talon is his employer, his lover, and probably his closest friend - he has a very limited social circle.
3) There is a barcode tattooed over his spine, just above where his neck meets his shoulders. It was put there using a machine, and as long as his skin is not stretched too awkwardly, it is scannable. He destroyed the database it was registered in.
4) He makes his living as a freelance agent - personal and group protection, information acquisition, security measure evaluation, and bounty hunting are just a few of his usual areas of employment.
5) He has a...strong dislike...of dogs.
6) Before he came to know Talon, the only person he trusted was Abigail. He did not know at the time that she helped build and program him.
7) He does not know how many people he has killed.
8) He considers Wren his sister, which by default makes Jian Yuan his brother-in-law. This is not something they have ever discussed, nor are they ever likely to.
9) By a complete coincidence, he killed the first man he ever knowingly slept with - Giuseppe, a Cosa Nostra hitman. He still carries Giuseppe's gun.
10) He does not know where most of the scars on his body came from.
11) He wears sunglasses most of the time, unless it's night or he's in a dark place, to protect his eyes - they're particularly sensitive to light because of the lack of pigment in them.
12) He does not like killing - but he is good at it, so he does it.
13) He naturally thinks in the on/off, positive/negative binary of machine language. This can make for some interesting thought processes.
14) He does not know how to drive. He relies entirely on public transit and his own feet.
15) He is not the only person with his exact genetic code. He does not know how many of "him" there are, but he has killed at least one. It was a mercy killing at the man's request.
16) His weapon of choice is a Beretta Model92-FS Inox, custom.

Quote: "Thought does not bow to authority." --- Ayn Rand
Comments:
1) He grew up on the streets of Dublin, Ireland.
2) He named himself - Talon when he was a young boy, Phoenix when he was a stupid, brash teenager, and Blake when he was older and wanted to create a steady, realistic and reliable identity for himself. Lewys was the name of a street he was especially fond of when he was young.
3) He plays the violin fairly well, though not so much so that he'll ever become a professional. He learned to do so as part of the construction process for his Blake Owens persona.
4) He has no idea who his parents were, has no memories of them at all, and has never tried to find out.
5) His weapon of choice is a stock model Desert Eagle Mark Six.
6) He is a collector of beautiful, expensive, and rare things. He expects whatever he possesses to be the best of its kind.
7) He suspects that at least one of his parents carried altered DNA, but has never had himself tested to confirm or deny this, and has never discussed it with anyone other than his childhood friend, Rafe.

Quote: "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." --- Friedrich Nietzsche
Comments:
1) She is something of a quotation collector, among other things. Some quotes of which she is especially fond include"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" (Voltaire), "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable" (John F. Kennedy), "A doubtful friend is worse than a certain enemy. Let a man be one thing or the other, and we then know how to meet him" (Aesop), and "I need no warrant for being, and no word of sanction upon my being. I am the warrant and the sanction" (Ayn Rand).
2) She has an Associate in Arts and Sciences (AAS) degree with a triple focus in English, Anthropolgy, and Japanese. She is currently working on a Bachelor's degree, majoring in English: Creative Writing.
3) She has studied a mixed hard-style martial art (Freestyle Kempo) since 2000, and Yang Style Tai Ch'i Chuan since 2003.
4) She would love to someday work as an archaeologist, specifically as a translator of ancient texts and inscriptions in dead languages, but it's so far down her list of goals that it will probably never happen.
5) She loves the scent of fresh/new carpet, and finds it particularly relaxing, as it reminds her of time spent playing in the interior decorating store her mother worked in when she was a child.
6) She is an agnostic-atheist, but has great respect for religion and faith in other people.
7) She currently works as a Security Officer at a local hospital. This is like being a bouncer, except she doesn't get to wear leather, she rarely sees fishnet, and she has to tie the drunks to beds when they get too rowdy, rather than throwing them out.
8) She is (obviously) a collector of Asian Ball Jointed Dolls, and has been since early 2003, when she purchased her first 1/3 scale resin doll. Before that, she collected and customized 1/6 scale Volks Dollfies for two years, convinced that the "big dolls" were just too expensive for her. She is now one of the founding (and current) staff for Dollectable, and the Administrator of the Controversial Doll forum.
9) Her first car was a silver 1987 Nissan Sentra. She worked in a raspberry processing plant (Individual Quick Freeze) for a month to save up the money to buy it.
10) She has seen - and handled - so many dead bodies that she no longer bothers trying to keep even an estimate of a count.
