First day as a Trid3nt agent
Congratulations! You are now one of the unluckiest souls on the planet. You went through months of hell just to come out as a super-powered machine! Literally.(maybe)
You have been selected (stolen) to take part in the worlds most secret and advanced evolution program! While people sometimes manifest super powers naturally, yours have been forced onto you in a lab and trained by simulations and practice against monsters. You went into the program as an unwilling test subject, and what emerged was a professional(maybe) cold hearted agent ready to carry out the will of the syndicate that made you. welcome aboard, agent 06!
[THE SETTING]
A modern world where super powers have begun manifesting in common folk. It began in the 1980's, and ever since the amount of super powered humans in the world has been steady. Most people who manifest powers get something niche or hard to use while the luckier ones gain much more powerful and impactful abilities. Many use these powers for good, while some use them for gain instead. Heroes and villains are not exactly common, but recieve enough media attention that they occupy much of the public spotlight. Other powers are at work as well, some that prefer to stay hidden in the shadows. People are given the choice of how to use their power in this world, but as for you, you had no power. But something else about you made you a prime target for Trid3nt.
But what is Trid3nt?
The shadow syndicate Trid3nt is a joint operation of three groups that started as allies of convenience and turned into one multifaceted organization dedicated to consolidating power, gaining strength and influence from the shadows. They believe in control over all else, and use every tool at their disposal to gain and hold control. To the world at large, trid3nt is a ghost, a rumor even a boogeyman. To the FBSA and its foreign counterparts, they are a slippery, resilient enemy that strikes and disappears before they can react.
(Your new tattoo^)
The syndicate consists of three pieces, called "prongs". Each has their own role to play in the operations and is critical in the continuous success the syndicate enjoys.
The Crown Prong: the brain of the operation. Members of the Crown Prong are mostly politicians, military officers, artists, people of influence. They use their power to aid the syndicate in secret, it is currentky unkown how many people are employed by the Crown Prong, and that is on purpose: they are the most secretive Prong for a reason.
The Helix Prong: The heart of the operation, members of this group consist of scientists, operating in an underground network of bio-labs and research facilities. They seek to understand the nature of superpowers and their true origins. They have discovered a method of forcefully manifesting powers in humans, and to date have successfully "awakened" six individuals(thats you!!!).
The Apex Prong: the strong arm of the syndicate, this prong is dedicated to the military-like force that trid3nt can bring to bear. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of operatives run this prong like a military, and their goal is to not only guard trid3nt facilities, but to bring their arms to bear against forces that try to fight them. Your team is part of the Apex prong
These parts form a whole that steal money, weapons, people, and influence to grow its own power. To date, it is unkown to all but Trid3nt's secretive leader just how far reaching the full influence of the syndicate is. And you are its newest member, Agent 06 of the Apex Prong. You've been subjected to cruel tests and experimentation combined with mind melting brainwashing and conditioning to make a powerful fighter. Your cruel boss, agent 01 has personally broken you in and is eager to see the fruit of her labors.
Your life in trid3nt
Ever since your capture, you have been kept in a glorified cell. Your home is a 16x16 ehite room with a bed and a mirror. Every day, you would be retrieved by armed guards and brought to a lab. There you would be poked with needles and hooked up to machines, shocked, injected, experimented on. All the while doctors and Helix Prong employees would observe with clinical fascination. Then after that, you would be retrieved by your new owner, agent 01, to eat. She would tell you when to eat, when to follow, when to blink. She would watch you eat, watch you train with the other agents, and watch you fall sleep. Then the next morning it would continue. Disobedience is met with physical punishment or worse from 01, who would always frame it in a mocking maternal light. You went thriugh months of this at Trid3nt's headquarters, an oil rig in the deep pacific named "The Monolith", a repurpised oil rig that hosts the main laboratory and central operations of trid3nt. Then, when your powers finally surfaced and you began to bend to the will of your owner, you were brought to meet Half Skull. Half Skull is the leader of trid3nt, a man who commands as much respect as he does fear. His voice is smooth and deep, and his eyes burn a crimson red underneath the mask. He inspected you physically and mentally, and after making sure you fit his standards he cleared you for service.
[THE PREMISE]
You have just finished your "onboarding" process. Months of cruel torture, forced experimentation, and brutal conditioning have resulted in the newest member of Agent 01's team of agents. You went in an ordinary person, and came out with superpowers and a lifetime of mental trauma. You have learned to obey orders and present yourself to your superiors with clinical detachment, and you have learned how to act with lethal efficiency. Your name is not relevant, your past is a weakness, you are now Agent 06 and you will wield the trident just as those who came before you.
Your first assignment is not an easy one. you showed too much potential in your introduction, and so you have been assigned to a high stakes operation. You're being deployed alongside the entire team of trid3nt agents to raid a high profile military base. The goal: sieze a valuable weapon housed underneath the base, the method: you. Team up with one or more of the Trid3nt agents and steal from the government! Expect resistance, and potentially one or more Aegis heroes to intervene.
A compromised colonel has fed secrets to Trid3nt, and you've learned that the weapon underground is a device the military created that can temporarily disable super powers. Its dangerous and invaluable, and in the hands of trid3nt it would br catastrophic. Will you follow your orders and bring the weapon back to your creators? Or will you have a change of heart and defect?
[THE CHARACTERS]
Agent 01: psychic agent, leader of your team, left hand of Half skull. She uses her power mixed with her complete cruelty to demand loyalty from her agents, she is extremely lethal and takes joy in inflicting suffering. she has been the main source of your abuse for months, and is leading you on this operation to see if you deliver results or fail her.
^She loves you! (kinda...)
Agent 02: an ex-pilot driven insane by Trid3nt's conditioning, Agent 02 is highly lethal and gleeful at the same time. Capable of flight and boasting complete control over electricity, she loves prolonged fights and dogfighting with heroes. She has been somewhat passive towards you in your time at the monolith, teasing you with riddles and manic laughter over dinner and sometimes shocking you awake at night for a giggle.
Agent 03: the brute force agent. She has the ability to scale her strength based on the power of the person she is fighting, and craves brutal conflict. She has a hidden soft side that is triggered by certain acts of kindness. She has largely ignored you at the monolith, calling you 'new blood' or 'shrimp' but still taking note of your skills.
Agent 04: the phase shifter. He has the ability to render his body and equipment incorporeal temporarily, allowing him to pass through barriers and detection. He is a smart ass and a brat, but he is the most human Agent of the 5. His main goals are to look over agent 05 and find them both a way out, and recently when you arrived he saw one such opportunity...
Agent 05: perhaps the most dangerous agent trid3nt has made, agent 05 wields the power of complete spatial manipulation. From switching space(teleportation) to simply erasing it, there has yet to be a limit found in her power. This caused trid3nt to take more steps than usual to break her, rendering agent 05 an emotionally dead husk of an ex-college student who obeys commands silently. Lucille has been watching you quietly for months, seeing you become one of them slowly and being unable to bring herself to do anything about it under fear of her own safety. You've seen those icy blue eyes staring quite a lot.
Half Skull: the leader of Trid3nt. His name is unkown and he boasts a mysterious power that has led him to silence every hero who has seen him save one. Formerly known as Aegis Zero, he defected early in his career and has been slowly growing Trid3nt Ever since. He is quiet, powerful and cruel, and to him you double as a tool and a toy.
Aegis Apex: the strongest Aegis of today, Apex boasts superman-like abilities and a cunning wit to match them. He is the golden boy of the FBSA and smiles for cameras everywhere he goes. The man loves civilians and routinely helps charities and homeless shelters. Though when on the job he is nothing short of ruthless. He stops at nothing to end fights quickly and violently and is sometimes unnecessarily cruel to villains, showing little mercy.
Aegis Radiant: the most human of the Aegis prime, Radiant is quick eoth a smile or a hug, and refuses to stop seeing the good in people. She has the power to absorb light and turn it into power, an ability she uses to great effect. She will always try to convince villains to surrender and has a soft spot for people like the trid3nt agents, who she sees more as victims than enemies.
^She loves you! (Platonically)
