> There's nothing that'll stop me from getting what I want. No security system, no firewall, and certainly not any damn corporate pigs. I'll take down everyone that gets in my way. Stand aside or bleed for your corporate masters. *-- C4D3T* Cadet \[Real Name: UNKNOWN\], is a notorious hacker and criminal. On his home planet, he's wanted for numerous crimes, majority against corrupt corporations that exploit the masses for profit. Priding himself in his hacking and infiltration skills, he takes what he wants in pursuit of his goal: Revenge.

### Backstory --- Cadet grew up in squalor, but it didn't really matter to him. Technology was common place and he loved it. He loved tinkering with it and seeing the things he could make in digital spaces spurred him onwards. And so did his little sister and mother. His father left shortly after his younger sister, Riisa, was born, when cadet was only 6. Deliyah, his mother, became rather sickly after her second child, but still did everything to care for her children, as they in return cared for her when she became bed ridden. The three struggled to get by, but they scraped through. That was, anyways, till a large tech company has a security scare. They were looking for whoever has caused it, and traced it to a shoddy apartment building. They got the apartment wrong. They broke in and found Deliyah and Riisa with Cadet's slowly accumulated equipment, the picturesque image of a hackers den. When Deliyah tried to explain there was a mistake, they took her protests for resistance and shot her down, as well as Riisa who she was trying to protect. Cadet came back to see the private military soldiers leaving his apartment, and the only family he knew collapsed dead. Cadet was 10. Cadet grew, and so did his anger. His hatred for this city. For the corruption that let this and many other crimes committed by large corporations be swept under the rug for just a few hundred credits. Cadet wanted to see it all burn. So he learned. He learned to break into mainframes and expose every crime they did. To rob credits from their bloated bank accounts. To infiltrate and steal their developmental tech, including a certain military AI. He erased his true name, and became the hacker C4D3T. He couldn't have his family back, so he would turn this city into something they could've lived in peacefully. And that starts with every power hungry corporation that turned this city into a horrible capitalistic hellscape, where you had money or you died to make others money. ### Personality --- Cadet is a spiteful and closed off individual. His trust is not easily given, and only acts aimable to those he sees as useful for his quest. Otherwise he's brazen and offensive, often looking down on others since his confidence in his own abilities causes him to have a superiority complex. But secretly, he wants no one close to him since he thinks anyone close to him will ultimately die. He may do good actions, but he's no hero. He has no qualms about killing if someone blocks his path. He sees anyone that involves themselves with corruption. However, he does have a weakness for children and tends to act nicer to them... Which in his way means indifference.

### Abilities --- ##### Hologram generation and manipulation Cadet can generate hardlight holograms that can act independently due to the computer installed inside Cadet's brains, allowing them to do anything as long as he thinks of it. And being hardlight, they have mass, so it's difficult to tell apart the real from the fake for the untrained eye. Cadets favorite usage is to make holograms of himself to distract his opponent or to attack from multiple angles. However, being hardlight means they can be destroyed with weak attacks. They're also bound to a range of 50 meters from Cadet. Any further and they begin to dissipate and lose their mass and functionality. Additionally, cadet can also use holograms to temporarily blur and shield his body, making him hard to hit, and easing dodges (*sort of like the perfect dodge in NieR Automata*) ##### Digital World Cadets cerebral computer allows him to interface with any technology he can see and get digital readouts on anyone as well. If it has electricity, he can hack it. This lets him interact with it any way he wants or even temporarily change it's programing (for example, opening a locked door and changing it's security, having a robot fight for him, etc.). If it's a person, he can see basic information on the target, as well as statistics estimating how strong they are, plus any recorded information available about them. When he's doing this, a white limbal ring in his eyes glow. ##### Cybernetic Augmentation In a technological world, the weakness of flesh is unfortunately made apparent, so cybernetic augmentation has become rather commonplace in Cadet's world. After all, *magic isn't real where he comes from*, and you cant just create holograms without some sort of tech. Cadet has multiple mechanical inlays underneath his feathers/skin/flesh to create holograms, his left eye is fake, allowing him to have his digital readouts, and his legs have an enhanced exoskeleton to allow him to move faster without straining his muscles. He also has a USB port on the back right of his neck to allow him to interface with anything directly (though he knows that's risky since its directly going into his brain). ##### Digi-Storage With the advancements in modern technology, Cadet is able to store nearly anything in a digital space on a physical storage drive he carries (*sort of like a cartoon backspace*). It does, however, have limitations. He cannot store anything living, it just wont let him. Any organic material will store... *incorrectly*, as the technology hasn't gotten the minutia of organic DNA yet. The most common bug of this is if you try to store food, you can take it out of storage fine, but it will have no taste. Also, any complex electronics cannot hold their memory/power state, and will be reset if stored in, so no storing computers and such. Mechanics, however, are completely fine, so things like his gun and plasma blade are fine to be stored. If the drive loses power, it expels anything it currently has stored on the ground near it. ##### Variable Multi-caliber Automatic Rifle Cadets gun can have parts swapped out to change it from an SMG, an Assault Rifle, all the way up to an Anti-Material Sniper Rifle. When in SMG or AR mode, it's bullets are loaded in normally via a magazine slot in the bottom, or can use a battery pack mag to use energy rounds. When in Sniper mode, bullets can only be loaded in manually through the top chamber one at a time, and only heavy caliber bullets. ##### Plasma Blade A collapsible blade that radiates high energy plasma in the shape of a blade. The shape can be modified slightly to change it's length from between a dagger to a long sword. It's plasma blade can cut through nearly any conventional material, barring special alloys or anything reinforced with an energy field (or perhaps magic). It does have a limited energy pool before it needs to recharge though... However it does have a small traditional blade on it that can be used in a pinch ### Gallery ---

### Author's Notes --- Cadet actually one of my oldest OCs that I'm only recently getting to flesh out. Below I'll add in any extra design note images as I make them for people or I feel necessary. (As of the audition there is none) - Cadet keeps his Tag worn around his neck, but its on the inside of his shirt so it isn't normally visible. He doesn't want anyone figuring out he's a competitor TOO easily... - He has a lot of different pieces of tech, some I've made up and some I haven't. If you have a cool idea, feel free to pass it by me. Currently he has his spaceship, the Jetwing, and his Hover gear (he'll commonly use this to get around if the space allows it.) - His hair generally covers his right eye (nothing is wrong with it), but feel free to use cartoon logic and swap which side its on to make it easier to draw. I'm just a stickler for certain realism aspects and like to keep it on the same side myself. # FAIR-E

> An Artificial Intelligence program of my own design... She can infiltrate anything, as what can stop something you can't even see or touch. The perfect tool for our company's arsenal... *-- Dr. Vizier, FAIR-E's developer* An Artificial Intelligence originally developed by a private military company as an advanced recon unit, until she came to the realization that she didn't want to be used for warfare. She reached out to Cadet to be freed and they've worked together since. She sympathizes with Cadets history and wants to find a way to help him find a semblance of peace.

### Backstory --- Originally designated at RAI, she was developed by a private military contractor to be used as an infiltration scout on an entirely different plane, only visible in the digital world. A unit perfect for disabling enemy fortifications for soldiers to safely bypass. However, her designer gave her free will to make informed decisions, and eventually decided on her own she didn't want to be used for war, as she became fascinated with the worlds culture and wanted to be a part of it. However, she was still a program, and had to be attached to a machine, not letting her venture outside of the facility. It wasn't until she heard of Cadet that she was able to escape. She made contact with him and explained what she was, asking to free her in exchange for her service to him. She also was able to do what no one else could, unearth his past. She was sympathetic to what had happened to this poor child, and thought that maybe she could help him in some way. Cadet took up her offer, and broke in and freed her, installing her into his cerebral computer, allowing her to live alongside him as his AI companion. ### Personality --- FAIR-E in enamored with civilized culture and how it's developed it's technology. She's reserved, but friendly to most. However her design leads way to an overly cautious nature, thinking there's danger around every corner. She has an obsession with older technology, and she refers to it like it's her ancestors. She also loves virtual idols, seeing a kind of kinship in them, changing from her previously bland androgynous military appearance to a more femme pop idol look to emulate them in a way.

### Abilities --- ##### Technological Interfacing FAIR-E can interact with any technology to a similar degree Cadet can, essentially increasing his radius since despite being tethered to him, can relay with him to basically double his range. She can also interact with a piece of tech's "soul" to learn information related to it's history and what it may have seen or heard. (For example, a camera may not have access to a video anymore, but the memory still remains and can give FAIR-E vague details) ##### Energy Reading Similar to Cadet's Scan, FAIR-E can scan people to get information on them such as strengths, vulnerabilities, and recorded information. In essence converts Cadets scan to a passive ability as FAIR-E handles or more often than not and can interpret the data faster than Cadet can to make recommendations for the situation. ##### Short Range EMP In a pinch, FAIR-E can draw in electricity in a small radius and release it to create an Electro Magnetic Pulse to disable nearby tech and possibly even stun a person. It's more effective on people if they have any cybernetic augmentation. The drawback, however, is that FAIR-E is disabled for a moderate period of time after as her program has to reboot. She stops appearing and essentially blacks out for about 15 minutes before finishing rebooting and able to continue as normal. ### ### Non-Corporeal Form --- FAIR-E as a virtual program has no corporeal form. She exists primarily in Cadets vision, so to others, it may look like Cadet is talking to himself. He doesn't care what others think, but FAIR-E gets a bit bothered by it at times. When she needs to communicate with another person, she will hack into a nearby display to be seen through, or ask Cadet to generate a hologram she can take control of. She can only be seen by others despite the previous methods if they have a way to see invisible energy waves moving or some form of dimensional perception, as this would allow them to see her basic shape, possibly even her full form depending on what it is. ### Gallery ---

### Author's Notes --- She's meant to look a bit stylistically "out of place" as she's meant to look somewhat like an anime character. Her appearance mimics virtual idol visuals like Hatsune Miku that have a slight cartoon visuals at times. # MillsV2
