TEST #4215

BOX #1003 CODE: BLACK

BOX ANALYSIS: Box #1003 has all six walls completely black. No furniture or items of any kind are within. Door is standard. Test subject is given standard I.C.E. education (provided for by I.C.E Educational Chip Programming) and is placed in Box at standard Box Age, non-standard memories wiped. Before awakening, subject is coated pure, permanent black coloring. Subject is awoken, no contact of any kind is to be made with subject via speakers or otherwise. Standard I.C.E automated feeding system (Provided for by I.C.E Mechanics) will be used. One variable to the box has been added. The subject is to be injected with a mutagen to give it a green glow that increases in brightness over time. Subject is to be let out at discretion of Box Overseer. Once released, the paint will be removed to allow the subject to

SUBJECT #MC3207

SUBJECT ANALYSIS: Standard Caucasian Male Subject. Clones from Subject #1004's DNA.

PRE-TEST-ANALYSIS: Another test on Box #1003. Personally I don't believe further testing on this Box is necessary. Results from this box have proven uneventful and repetitive after the first few days. Monitoring the individuals after they are released outside usually ends the same. They curl into a ball and stay there, avoiding the light, if they don't die from shock. However, Division 1000-1100's Overseer told me to re-open the Box, so I did. The new mutagen might make things interesting, however. I am eager to see the results.


I.C.E.... Isolation Chamber Experiments. An organization hidden and sanctioned by the government. However, the government doesn't know the extent of what it is hiding. I.C.E's experiments have reached beyond 5000, and more and more are still being conducted. They have what seems like an infinite amount of resources, from furniture to Boxes to mutagens to the education chips used to give instant basic learning to the subjects, as well as for cloning.

However... they are getting over-confident. They may not always be so successful in avoiding detection, and their subjects may not always remain so ignorant.

STORY END:

Alright, here's how it's going down.

PROFILE:

Subject #: (Kind of irrelevant, but it goes with the theme, and some numbers can hold special meaning. 1, for example, or 666, 777, etc...) The first 2-3 letters before the number signify Sex and Race respectively (Sex=M or F for Male or Female, Race=C for caucasian, AA for African American, AS for Asian, etc...)

Name: (This can either be given to you by a BOX, or you can have your character make it up himself)

Age:

Box #: (Once again, the numbers can hold special meaning, etc... Also, if one person likes a Box idea from another person's profile, they must use the same box number)

Box Analysis: (What were the circumstances of their box, i.e. what was done to them, was the box like, etc...)

Personality/Psyche: These I.C.E Boxes can have some devastating effects on the mind. What happens to YOUR subject?

Appearance: While the subjects are often clones of each other, certain environmental effects from the Boxes can change appearance, as well as personal choice, etc...

Mutations: If your character was given any mutagens, what were they/what can he do?

Bio: As all characters are characters who have either just been released from their boxes or have been released for a period of time already. So, what have they been up to since leaving the Box? Etc....

I'll post my profile first.

Subject #MC2360

Name: Stranghill Olganis [given to him by the Box Speakers]

Age: 24

Box #2044 CODE: VAMP

Box Analysis: Box is suited with standard furniture (Couch, table, bed) and has a black floor, with black walls and ceiling, but splotches of red throughout. Red-filtered lights are mounted on the ceiling. Standard education chip is used, but extra information involved: Vampire Myths. The standard food will be used, but the beverages will be replaced with blood. A mutagen will be placed in the subject before they awake, giving them fangs, sharp nails, red eyes, black hair, enhanced speed and strength, and very pale skin. The word "Feed' will be looped to play over the speakers, and will increase in tempo during feeding-time. After one year in the Box, the blood will be placed in 'blood-packs' instead of in a glass. A year after that, the blood will be placed in a skin pouch. After that, live humans cloned solely for this purpose will be supplied as food. After a year of that, the subject will be knocked out, and there will be a sky-substitute on the ceiling, symbolizing night and day. A tent will be supplied as well. The subject will be informed by the speakers when day is approaching, and will be instructed to hide in the provided-for tent. Then the subject will be instructed to go out at night, and there will be a 'food' waiting for him. After three months, the speakers will die out, and if the subject is out during the 'day' the room will begin to super-heat until the subject enters the tent. It will then be cooled. If the subject does not enter the tent before the room approaches death-levels of heat, the speakers will inform the subject to enter the tent, and the process will be repeated until the subject can do it without the speakers warning him. After the year ends, the subject may be released at the Overseer's discretion.

Personality: Stranghill is convinced that he is a 'vampire'. And really, considering the mutations, he is one. The conditioning from the Box has made him into one, and he follows the 'myths' perfectly. He is proud and honorable, as the 'myths' taught him to be. He feeds once a night, and stays out of the daylight. He has no hatred toward humans, but has been taught that it is okay to feed on them, but must keep himself secret.

Appearance: http://www.catroll-art.co.uk/images/vampire.jpg

Mutations: Enhanced speed and strength. Fans and claw-like nails. Very pale skin. Permanent black hair, made to look younger for a longer period of time. His skin burns at sunlight.

Bio: Stranghill has remained relatively unknown. He has moved from city to city, hiding in make-shift shelters from the sun whenever necessary. His secret has remained completely unknown. Other than that, he has done little. though, he is coming to see that he might be the only one of his kind, and he is growing suspicious.

Other than being a 'vampire' he holds good relationships with people, though they end whenever he decides to move to a new city.

Now that Strang has demanded that I post a profile (even though I’d already started one) I’ll put it up. Please tell me if my profile is crap though, as I don't doubt it will be.


Subject #: FC1307

Name: Mary Anne Cooper (as told to her by the Box Speakers)

Age: 31

Box #: 729 CODE: PHWIFE

Box Analysis: Large box is divided into four sections, one room containing a couch and television, the next containing a dining room table, cupboards containing fine plates, bowls, glasses, and silverware, the next set up as a kitchen/laundry room with a stove/oven, sink, counters, refrigerator, pantry, washer, and dryer, and the last is set up as a bedroom. Walls are white and the floor has grey carpet, except in the kitchen which has off-white tile. Standard education chip is inserted into subject on style, cleaning, and cooking. Subject is to be awake by 5 o’clock am to dress herself, fix her hair and makeup, and be in the kitchen making breakfast by 5:30. By six am, subject must have breakfast set out on the dining room table set for her and another that she is informed is her husband, who will be with her when she leaves the Box. If task is not completed on time, the speakers will yell at her and she will have the sensation of being slapped across the face. At 6:45 am, Subject is to clear the dishes from the table and clean them in the kitchen sink. Between 7:00 and 10:00 Subject is to clean the Box until it is in tip-top shape, and then is allowed to sit on the couch and read a romance novel until 11:30am at which time she will be informed that she is to get up and prepare herself food for lunch. If Subject does not put down the novel the stove will be turned on, giving off the smell of something burning from the kitchen until she gets up to go turn off the stove and makes herself lunch to eat in the dining room. Her diet consists of salads and light soup or sandwiches while her husband is away at work. At 1 o’clock pm, Subject will clean up from her lunch and clean the kitchen again. At 1:30pm Subject will sue or knit until 4 when she will begin making dinner for herself and her husband. At least once a week, a simulation of having company will be initiated at 2:00 and she will socialize and entertain her guests and then serve them dinner with her and her husband. When her husband comes home at 5:30pm, she will have set dinner out on the dining room table and be ready to take his coat. Again, if this task is not completed on time, she will be yelled at over the speaker and feel a slapping sensation in her face. During dinner, she will ask her husband about work, which the speaker will reply to, and she will show great interest in her husband’s life outside the home. After dinner, she will clear the table, wash the dishes and clean the kitchen once again. At eight o’clock, she will join her husband on the couch and watch the weather and then another channel of her husband’s choice, and knit. At 9pm, Perfect House Wife will go to bed with her husband. Subject will be released at the same time as Perfect Working Man, Subject #MC1308, at the Overseer’s discretion.

Personality/Psyche: Mary, in essence, has a bland personality and only holds the opinion of her husband (whom she did not meet until leaving the Box), and is simply sweet and gentile. She works perfectly on the clock that the Box set her with, but has miniature panic attacks if said schedule is disrupted, resulting in her running around trying to do everything at once. However, she

Appearance: user posted image
She has brown hair, and light brown, almost amber eyes. A slender, long figure are hers as well as silk-soft, fair-coloured skin.

Mutations: None.

Bio: Mary Anna Cooper has lived in a suburb with her husband for a few months and has made a few friends with the neighbours often having small dinner parties, but not really having a life outside her home. She is very contented with her husband and neighbourhood.

Interesting ideas, both of yaz. Oh, and Sorch? *points to your personality part of your profile* you broke off there at 'however, she'. Other than that, both profiles are good.

Speaking of which, there's one more profile I need to put up for myself, but this character won't come into play until late in the rp.

Subject #MC6307

Name: The I.C.E.-Box Man. (Self-given)

Age: 22

Box #2500 CODE: N/A

Box Analysis: N/A--For Overseer's Eyes Only.

Personality/Psyche: John has a rigid form of righteousness. He follows a moral code and standards with ruthless efficiency, and has no qualms about denouncing anyone he meets who goes against these standards. Other than that, he is friendly and approachable, though he is somewhat distant, often seeming like he's always thinking of something else.

Appearance: http://www.sassistas.com/sassistas_our_dis...04/Mr_Smith.jpg (The guy holding the book)

Mutations: No obvious signs of mutation.

Bio: The I.C.E. Box Man 'escaped' from his Box. Desperate to show the world the truth about the organization that had been performing sick and twisted experiments on humanity, he managed to scrape together enough supplies to send out a large-scale broadcast across radio stations everywhere (yes, there is still radio in the future, deal with it) stating:

"Any of you who hear this, listen to me. There's something horrible going on. An organization, the I.C.E, Isolation Chamber Experiments, has been performing experiments on humans, mutating them and conditioning them, then releasing them out to the world, for no reason other than their own twisted curiosity. I, though... I managed to escape them, before they did... whatever it was they were planning on doing. They're evil, and MUST be stopped! Join me! If you're hearing this, co-"

That's where the broadcast was cut off. The direct cause of the cut-off is unknown to all, except the I.C.E.

But the I.C.E. Box Man suspects the truth, and it has made him watchful. He's not giving his name out, instead going under aliases, but he is trying to find other Box releases, to tell them the truth, and gather an army to destroy I.C.E.

[Note: The broadcast has gone out. Whether your character heard it or not is your choice. I will most likely be withholding this character from the rp until everyone gets comfortable[

Name: Sfetlana/Isadora

Age: 21

Box #: 65668

Box Analysis: During the subjects passive personality the box is almost like a college dorm room. A moderatly comfey bed, desk with a computer and a controlled internet connection that only allows her to chat and interact digitally with members of the watch team in the Ice-Box. A dresser with clothes, carpet, and a couple decorations on the wall. A fake window outlooking a realistic painting of normal surroundings.

Personality/Psyche: Sfetlana was doing alright in her Box until she tuened 18 and the onset of her Schizophrenia began.

Appearance: While the subjects are often clones of each other, certain environmental effects from the Boxes can change appearance, as well as personal choice, etc...

Mutations: If your character was given any mutagens, what were they/what can he do?

Bio: As all characters are characters who have either just been released from their boxes or have been released for a period of time already. So, what have they been up to since leaving the Box? Etc....

PROFILE:

Subject #: MAA967
Name: (This can either be given to you by a BOX, or you can have your character make it up himself)

Age: 25

Box #: 400967

Box Analysis: Nothing but the bare neccessities, a cot, a toilet, a sink, and a device that provides him with a special shake filled with all the neccessary energy, proteins, vitamins, fiber, etc. (doesn't take very good) Has a karate mat in the middle of the box where he constantly trains through the speaker and a television that provides visuals on how to operate attacks and counters. He also has a pad for hitting and a dummy weighing 200 lbs.


Personality/Psyche: After the constant demandings from the speaker boxes, he must train every day or else he will surely go insane. Not much of a social type but is able to communicate with people on the lightest terms, ex. "hi how are you? good, me too. have a good day." etc.

Appearance: Tall, black and bald with a perfectly toned body where all the sinews and veins seem to pop out like there isn't a layer of skin at all.

Mutations: He doesn't know it but his light gray eyes aren't normal due to the fact that there are no pupils or "whites" of the eyes. Both of his entire eyes are light grey. Also he is able to harness electricity once he comes in contact with it, but he doesn't know that either.

Bio: Given the privilege to leave his box, he chooses not to because of his obligation and addiction to train. Though sometimes at night he practices his talking voice and conversations, however simple they might be.
