SHADOW HALLS ASYLUM
#ShadowHalls IRC Channel
Backstory:
The year is 2044 and the world's most dangerous criminals are all in one place, Shadow Halls Asylum. There are three floors full of criminals. It is located in Death Valley, California which is the lowest point on Earth. Death Valley is also basically a desert so it is far away from any major city, in case of a breakout. The third floor contains the more dangerous criminals and are only allowed out of their cells as long as they obey the one rule set by the guards don't attack the guards. The third floor also contains the super-powered criminals and these criminals have special devices on their neck to nullify their powers. The second floor contains the normal criminals and it also contains the gym and cafeteria for the criminals. the first floor contains the control room along with the livings quarters, cafeteria, gym and armory for the guards and also contains a vault which holds any weapons and personal effects confiscated from the criminals when they were brought to the asylum. The guards work on 12 hour shifts and change shifts at noon and midnight.

Weapons: A small backpack and a utility belt that contains various improvised tools and weapons ranging from simple lockpicks to hand-made shivs
Powers: Catgirl Physiology (Heightened sight and hearing, retractable claws, increased jumping and falling capability, extremely nimble and swift), Parkour Skills
Alignment: Criminal
Personality: Untrusting misandrist, she prefers to keep her distance and is quick to flee. She is more approachable if you're a woman and she'll warm up to you quickly. Betray her trust however, and she'll be gone before you know it.
Appearance: She has a short, pink hair that's unkempt yet wonderfully clean. A pair of little cat ears juts out from it that's amusingly soft when rubbed. The fierce expression she carries on her cute face makes her look simply irresistible and in dire need of a hug. Her slender frame allows ease of picking up and taking to your home. In contrast, she wears the stereotypical Japanese school uniform that's ravaged by wear-and-tear. On her back is an old leather backpack she stole from a kindergartener and on her waist is a utility belt she looted off a dead guard.
History: Ever wonder why, in a world where stick figures walk amongst us, living anime stereotypes are a rarity? They either die from wRHG crossfire, or they...are marketed as commodities.
Akiko is a catgirl who's bred and raised to be the ideal catgirl waifu...until one faithful day. She followed everything without questions and her upbringing was going swimming until that one moment of neglect where she spent the entire day in a room with a computer as part of an independence experiment. From that point on she's slowly discovering her eventual fate and started showing signs of rebelliousness. Her owners retaliated with severe punishment, both physical and emotional, to keep her in line. Things went smoothly again since she has learned that she can't escape her prison until one day where she was to be handed over to an auction winner.
On the moment she was thrown into his hands...she snapped.
His face was covered with several lacerations and has a severed jugular while Akiko is running for dear life. Her sprint for freedom was too unexpected and she was already too far ahead to pursue. So her owners registered her into the wRHG and placed a huge bounty for her capture. After several attempts by various gladiators, she was caught by an archer, a swordswoman and a detective; and was hauled off back into her "home." Due to her current state, and the fact that they already had another catgirl to work with, she was deemed unfit for sale and sentenced into the asylum. There, she learned to fend for herself the hard way.[/spoiler]

Weapons: None.
Powers: None.
Alignment: Criminal
Personality: Afraid of almost everything. Anal-retentive. Uptight. Does not. Stop. Talking.
Appearance: Oh you know, the usual. Boring ole jumpsuit (do they wear uniforms in this prison?). If no dress code, then he wears the same old battered suit he originally came in from. Nothing special. Just the faded blue suit with purple and pink striped tie. Slacks have patches and holes on them. Dusty leather shoes that appear to have once been made of the finest leather.
History: One Sunday afternoon while watching TV, about 20 SWAT operatives bust down his apartment door and arrest him on multiple counts of fraud. Miffed that he was missing his favorite soap, Francis instinvtively reached for the remote---a whipping action of such urgency that the coppers misread it as reaching for a gun and promptly tasered him to the ground. For this act of stupidity, he has thus earned the nickname of "Ruthless" as a sarcastic mockery of this remote action. He hasn't been seen since.
Oh you want the history? Well.
10 days ago, Francis was working from home---as tech support for various machinery and equipment---when a man knocked on his door. This man was Humphrey Templeton II, a local entrepreneur who made a fortune for himself in Hong Kong but fled when the Chinese came back. Posing as a local socialite, Templeton was able to bamboozle Francis into investing his retirement fund ($300,000) on a charity scam that guaranteed a 15% return. He went with it, and for awhile received a usual 1,000 every month until one day the well dried up and Templeton was nowhere to be found.
That was his story anyway. What Francis instead received was The Shiv. Since he was living alone and barely went outside, he was made the perfect patsy for Templeton, who had in fact managed to embezzle up to 2 Billion Dollars from the local community (mostly retirees and expats). including Francis himself. Those conditions made it easy for Templeton to convince turning state's evidence in exchange for revealing the mastermind behind the plot: Francis himself.
As if the day can't get any worse, Francis, now hated by the community at large, was transferred to Shadow Halls simply because the local county prisons were all at full capacity. After all, who's going to miss a vile man that was practically invisible his whole life.[/spoiler]

Nickname: Rotthound
Weapons: Teeth (a custom-made cleaver-like axe)
Powers: Consumption Healing (eats flesh to heal wounds), Enhanced Agility, Speed, and Strength, and Superhuman Senses (can smell victims from far away).
Alignment: Criminal
Personality: Once a benevolent soul of a family that runs a circus business, Rotthound is now a bloodthirsty maniac that lives through murder and cannibalism. He came in contact with an unknown disease that has caused him to lose his sanity, memories, his past life, and morals in exchange with superhuman abilities and a hunger for human flesh. Rotthound usually goes alone with any need of alliances, but can be persuaded by other means of dealing. If he refuses, he can either run off or jump on you and eat the skin off of your face. If he accepts, he keeps a close eye on his partner to be certain that they don't stab his back. After reaching their goal, he decides what to do with his partner; kill or let go. When it comes to victims, he calls them "rabbits" like how a predator stalks their prey.
Appearance: He's 6'5 and weighs up to 150 lbs. Rotthound has white hair (poliosis) that’s dyed with multiple bright-colored hair dyes, and has red irises. He wears a black shirt with black-and-white-striped sleeves underneath a gray vest. Wears suspenders for his gray pants with black-and-white-striped leggings. His face is worn by makeup with splashes of different other colors; the reason why is because due to the disease he has, it made his skin transparent.
History: Before the murderous life of Rotthound, Hector Conroy was once a circus performer with a great sense of humor and a heart of gold. The oldest child in the family, he helps his parents with the circus business; The Conroy Family Circus. In the family were his father and mother, Kevin and Selina, and his only sister, Katherine, who is accompanied by her friends Rome and Julie. Along with his family are a group of performers and acrobats, including trained animals like elephants, horses, etc. Hector and his family has been in business for many years and have become a popular show among the community.
One day, Hector felt ill and have to be hospitalized as his condition worsened. Physicians were scratching their heads on what kind of disease has plagued him with; it was undefined and every vaccine used on him has only strengthened tenfold. The disease has taken its toll on Hector's mind; starting to lose his precious memories with his family, friends, and personal life, only to be fueled and twisted with rage and insanity. Parts of his skin has lost pigmentation and slowly became transparent; his strength and senses has increased rapidly, and his hunger has turned to a new source: Human Flesh.
Broke out of his bonds, he slaughtered anybody that came to stop him, and everyone that stood in his way. Feasting among the corpses of his victims while leaving a trail of death behind him. News broke out instantly after his escape and has the entire neighborhood shut down and evacuated to a disclosed location. Unfortunately, there have been some who've never reached to safety; Katherine, after hearing the news, rushed towards her friends' house to warn them about her brother's bloodlust, but was too late. Hector broke in and has slaughtered and devoured Rome and Julie. Not recognizing his own sister, he attacked Katherine in a flash. Struggled to survive his onslaught, she grabbed one of her juggling clubs and shattered his jaw. In pain, he sprinted away from her, promising to kill her next time. Unbeknownst to him, Katherine has the exact same disease that he has, but the development is extremely slow and has only a minor case of it. She is soon called Skinnyclaw; an opposite alias to Hector's nickname, Rotthound.
Time passed by as he created a road of blood and destruction, he was eventually captured by SWAT and was taken down to the mysterious Shadow Halls Asylum. Planning to sentence him to Death for his crimes, Rotthound plans to escape the titanium shackles of his prison and kill his captives and anybody who's willing to come across him.[/spoiler]
