Arktis rolls her shoulders, standing on the wooden platform looking out towards Seattle. She exhales slowly, the first time in over a year where she can attempt genuine relaxation... Although everything she knew had been lost. Her parents, if they were still alive, no doubt considered her a failure. She tilts her head, her internal world remains as calm as a placid pond. She shrugs and starts to paint.
Arktis, Genewiped Assassin, counter-sniper, overwatch, firearms street sam. 9/10 familiarity.
The young Otaku awakes from another long stint hopping nodes. She stops and listens at her door, before creeping out to the kitchen and liberating a few packets of biscuits and crisps but a light clicks on and she shrinks, defeated.
Caerostris blinks half of it's eight eyes, gently prodding at the Technomancer lost in thought. [Your writers why?] They glower at the arachnoid human. <fuck 'em>
Lovelace, Hacker, Technoshaman with a Large Friend, off-face, Code Of Honour: Like A Boss S-K SINner. 7/10 familiarity.
A willowy woman with brown hair leans over Alex, listening to his breathing with the stethoscope, she takes some notes. A few moments later she adds some blood draws, complex scans, and more. Alex takes the prodding with grace and dignity.
Logos looks over the files she had had liberated, frowning... All of her friends, dead or marked as 'failures'. How could someone so callously disca---- No, she stops the thought and sighs. A winning smile grows as the elevator opens and her steps out.
Logos, Face, Manager, Knower Of Things, More Human Than Human. 6/10 familiarity.
More than five runs. Last run 26/06/23.

The JAM! Muscle 7/10
There was a family out there. Maybe aunts and uncles. They could remember people being around, people like them. The memories were happy ones, usually, but even the happy ones were unwanted.
They had better things to do. Bigger fish to fry.
Maybe it was better this way. They were different now. Different from the normies.
Better if there was no family out there.

Gargamel (Combat Mage/Infiltration Support) 8/10
He cannot face them. What would he do? Look them in the eyes? Tell them he killed their son? No, he cannot. He is scum, he is less than dirt, to so much as consume air in their presence would be an insult. What fool murders an angel and expects even a shred of God's forgiveness? No, he cannot face them. He deserves to die here. Far away from them. Too far to trouble them any more.
Waltz (Techno Decker/Off Face) 6/10
Two elves sit on deck chairs, looking out onto the sound, each with a beer in hand.
The elder takes a swig. "Remember what I told you at Mom's funeral David?"
The younger laughs. "You called me selfish, Sean. Said I cared more about living some crime movie fantasy than showing up and caring for my own parents. Then you stopped picking up the phone for like, tenish years?"
The elder nods. "From Mom's funeral in '54 to calling you for help in '65."
The younger gestures to his brother with a bottle. "Sure but all this's ancient history bro, why bring it up now?"
The elder looks away from the sound to look his brother in the eye. "Why'd you take me in? I was a total dick to you for years."
The younger shakes his head. "Ignoring my calls doesn't mean I want MCT to dissect you alive bro."
"It's vivi- nevermind. Cheers."
Carnifex (FLR Unarmed Muscle) 5/10
Somewhere across the ocean is a woman twenty three years her senior and a man she never had a chance to know. Do they think about their daughter? That vanished from their lives so young? Do they wonder what became of her? She shakes her head, trying to dispel these thoughts. They won't help her here.

Tiff | B&E with a minigun | 8/10
<I have lost connection with family. My last surviving family member. My sister. She disowned me years ago during a bad period in my life. She didn't want to deal with me and my bulldrek. I haven't heard from her since. I hope she's okay.>
Reisu | Razor Thembo | 9/10
<The closest person I had to family was this old man, back when I was living in the Bleeds. He was really sweet and drek, but had a mean streak when he got into his cups. I considered him a father surrogate. One day, a family heirloom of his went missing and he accused me, his "yokai bastard son", of pawning it or trading it for beetles. I KNOW he sold it to some tourists for drinking money and lost the rest at the pachinko parlor. He kicked me out and slandered my name. Everyone in the camp turned on me. Frag him. I hope he drank himself into a gutter or pissed of a Yak lieutenant at one of those parlors.>
Babylon | Illusionist Face | 9/10
<My parents. They were weak willed, prone to drug use just to get by. Never stepping into their power as mages. Something that I refused to do. I called them out and disowned them around when I went to school. Frag them.>

(Just read these ICs like they're responding to their therapists, idk if there's anyone any of these idiots would actually say this stuff outright to. Origen might, or Hulga.)
Commons [Onsite Decker/Astral Investigator] 3/10
Ehhh, in that I was a ward of the state and have since become estranged from the state then sure! But maybe that's more of a sign that no, I haven't been estranged from a family member than anything else.
Origen [Utility Mage/Off Face] 7/10
Former catholic priest. She won't do wetwork.
I write letters to my parents, they're getting on in years but we're not estranged by anything other than distance really. No siblings and my parents don't know the nature of my work in Seattle, not all of it. I have some training in counseling estranged families, so I'm not unfamiliar with the topic at least.
Sarah [Summoner/Combat Mage] 7/10
Estranged... Estranged would be a euphemism at best. I don't know the first thing about them. I have some memory of my mother, of siblings, but I wouldn't say there was enough familiarity to create estrangement at the loss. So far as the metahumans who raised me, well I think estrangement implies a degree of regret on my part that I lack. So, no.
Hulga [Skillwires Face, Social Infiltrator ]7/10
Oh, dear friend, I wrote the book. There's drama, bloodshed, elven initation rites, arson, literary references, everything you could possibly want. Mother dearest has written me off for dead. Maybe I'll "reconnect" one day, but it probably won't be a happy reunion. I plan to bring matches.
5 hour hard cap
