What is God?
"The Beggar" is the first of the Many Faced, a number of transhuman shapeshifters dating back to when the all-encompassing Unity was still young, according to one of the many rumors swirling around the Omega Church. There are quite a few versions of the rumor, particularly macabre tellings speak of insane assassins who wear the faces of those they murder and deceive with the voices of the dead. Though now largely discredited as absolutely ludicrous conspiracy theory by the general public, many in the world of the Cloak and Dagger lend credence to their existence.
For the Last Church, the God humanity seeks is many things; He is Father, She is Mother, It is our Shepard, the endpoint of fate, but above all, God is the architect of Paradise and the unquestionable, impartial judge of the immortal Soul.
The rumors of Many Faced, and the Beggar in particular, are inextricably linked with those surrounding Logi Bishop Kirie Cornelius Kazimierz and the "Vaults". An ambitious and talented theologian-scientist, he climbed the ranks of the clergy by spearheading mind-machine interface research. Later in life, he came to focus on a project known only as the "Vaults". This became a dark episode in Church history when, for reasons unknown, he was Excommunicated ''in extremis'' and Unity intervention troops stormed his headquarters, the St. Copernicus Cathedral. Kirie did not survive.
In order to fulfill this critical function, God must be an Omniscient being, aware of All Things, in All Places.
The "Vaults" were declared complete a month after his death.
Ultimately, through PRAYER, humanity brings itself in closer Communion with the nascent God, by tabling data of strange universes and breaching the barriers of the cosmos.
Much of the information regarding him was violently scrubbed out by his Excommunication. The rest has been forgotten to time. What remains are whispers of involuntary, gruesome body experimentation, mind state alteration, forced upload, torture, psychopathy, and of course, The Beggar.
Curiously, it has been claimed by hackers and whistle-blowers over the centuries that the Church continues to list the Bishop as the head of the still active, if secretive, Order of Copernicus.
'''"The Beggar"'''
The Faceless Ones are one of the many ancient rumors surrounding the Omega Church, supposedly from the days when the all-encompassing Unity was still young. Among this number is "The Beggar", a figure infamous among those familiar with the cloak and dagger, reputed to be one of the very first Faceless Ones. If such is true, then it is an astoundingly ancient being.

In some whispy outskirt starcluster that follows the code of law of the Unity, there is a small, blue green world with very little going on: it is home to a resort city for the rich and influential among the Unity. It might have once had an interestingly divergent culture, but it has since been devalued in favour of tourism success. In the picturesque hills outside the city lives Ho'oh Acala, an amateur artist. Living in a post-modern wonderland she designed when she was seven, when her preference was still architecture, she paints. Her dearest wish is to paint something truly new and unique, something which expresses herself in a society of teeming stars, but she has never been able to. Her atelier has dozens of 'failures' strung from the ceiling as a reminder. Occasionally she will take a couple of these failures to the city, selling them to Unity socialites who don't know any better. She hates this. Sometimes they commission her to paint their portraits. She hates this even more.
This quiet existence of artistic disappointment and boiling anger at rich people is tempered by the martial arts. Ho'oh is the 108th successor of the Acala Tensei-ryu, a total combat philosophy which is built around perfecting one's personal calm. Though Ho'oh is successor mostly as a formality, she has diligently practiced it for all her admittedly short life in attempt to be more even tempered. Though not nearly a master of the style, she is extremely adept by most standards and much stronger than her slight frame would suggest. However, while the Acala school is a full contact hand-to-hand art which incorporates any number of weapons, this is a side-effect of it being a system for the development of PRAYER without the need for technological augmentation. As PRAYER is about controlling one's own personal cosmos, Ho'oh has always been interested in the development of her powers to better understand herself, and perhaps break the block on her painting. As such, when some official from Nirvana came looking with an offer to help her build her PRAYER to the highest levels, she couldn't help but be interested.

PRAYER 3 - The Big Bang//STAND TALL AND SHAKE THE HEAVENS (12)
Ho'oh's PRAYER is an acausal link back to the birth of some other universe: not just the hot aftermath of creation, but rather creation itself. With access to the expansion of space and the weird, unknowable physics and energies of a big bang at her disposal, Ho'oh is able to warp the space of our universe.
L3 Facet 'Shukuchi' (Distance) (18) - cuts the space between 'here' and 'there' away, giving the impression that Ho'oh has teleported, or that she is extremely fast.
L2 Facet 'Saidai Oka Hoken' (Augmentation) (9) - A striking technique where Ho'oh twists space to increase the mass-impact of a single fist. A side-effect is the superhot quark-gluon plasma pulled through by the Facet.
Exotic Equipment: Prototype Instinctual Polymorph Weapon, Ehrgeiz. A smart matter colony masquerading as Ho'oh's strike gloves and most elements of her clothing. As Ho'oh has no experience with conventional weapons and legally is not allowed to use a firearm, it is a weapon allowing her to fight evenly with properly armed combatants using only her martial arts. A gift from the Nirvana Skunk Works facility, utilising technology related to the PRAYER Drive to account for dramatic changes in size and mass. Marketing grist claims theoretically unlimited forms. Ho'oh has lost the manual.
Ehrgeiz has 3 modes. It is a hand to hand weapon
Mode 1: Damage Mode quadruples power for the purpose of damage +3 accuracy.
Mode 2: Anti-armour Mode: halves enemy armour, double's power for damage purposes
Mode 3: Mixed mode: triples power for damage purposes, -4 points to enemy armour.

Duke Linwood Brando the XIV
A libertine robot from a distinguished household who wields occult power and wealth beyond his station. The inheritor of the Key of SOLOMON.
PRAYER 3 [12] - Key of SOLOMON: A program which summons alien constructs from a universe with parameters entirely unlike those that spawned mankind, the Key of SOLOMON is the original reason the prestigious Brando family was forced to mass upload. After their progenitor developed the daemon summoning program much of the Brando household were beset with horrific visions and mass delusions, forcing the remaining members of the family to upload before their minds became tainted with the alien influence. In the process, they gained the ability to control the extra-dimensional creatures and have since held these powers to secure additional power and influence over the decades.
L2 Facet [9] - Impulse Luxuria (Mind): A specialized element of the summoning program designed to strip away the safeguards in the target's personality. While ordinarily used to cause enemies to go berserk and turn on their allies, its original function is to cause social rivals to lose their inhibitions and embarrass themselves.
L2 Facet [9] - Reversal Superbia (Transmute): A program which is able to convert an offering into undifferentiated mass from the other universe, which then takes on the qualities imposed upon it by the summoner. Because it conforms to the desires imposed upon it, it may be used in tandem with Active Invidia to grant 'wishes' of the tangible sort.
L1 Facet [3] - Active Invidia (Sense): Daemons enter the target's mind through a physical (or wireless) connection, clipping away at low-level inhibitions of the mind to grant the summoner an unrestricted view of the target's desires.

That meant there were a few divisions of custom-built but completely green P-roids with no specific need and like the rest she was RIF'ed several years after the entire situation cooled off.

AEFRE
Created by a now defunct corporation, AEFRE is a unique prototype bioroid. The corporation was attempting to design and manufacture several lines of bioroids who were certain to be able to use PRAYER abilities for government, military, and corporate work. In her case, Aefre is a general protoype - what would have been the "mother bioroid" of several types of new PRAYER using bioroids. Given her freedom by her lead designer during the mysterious collapse of her creating company, Aefre is currently wandering about - learning and gaining experience with her PRAYER abilities. She is accompanied by VALKYRIE aka Valk - a highly enhanced, sentient but stoic, tactical drone that was created to serve as a bodyguard for Aefre.

Macky
Name: Deidre "Macky" McIntyre
Race: Human
History: Deidre McIntyre came from Homeward, a colony in the reaches; something she never wants to admit. Homeward was a 'libertarian paradise'; a rhetoric-steeped stronghold of self-determination and unforgiving decadence. Born of an industrial family, Deidre's childhood become increasingly lonely, as families of her playmates fell from grace in the merciless market climate, and they were ostracized. Left only with her father's business to learn, Deidre took to hanging about on the assembly lines, hiding from a debutante's life that her older sisters took to in her stead. Her parents, annoyed, kept punishing her.
One day, she came home to find security no longer recognized her DNA. After getting shocked and nearly killed by defense turrets, she took the message.
Living in the factory districts, Deidre managed to survive by being a damned good mechanic, fixing everything from fabricators to assembly robots to Asuras. Her life became harder, however, as money dried up; the 'invisible hand' dropped the ball, leaving workers without jobs and captains of industry looking like fat, useless idiots. When the riots started, she took all her time escaping violence; she even had to steal a Deva to get out as a factory she was working in was burned to the ground.
It wasn't until she managed to find her way into Nirvana's employ that she found a way off of Homeward. As the company pulled out of the dying 'paradise', she managed to impress a few people by repairing their machines. All she asked, in exchange for helping them get their equipment in order, was a steady job and transfer off this world. She looked out the window once as they flew away.
Taking the name "Macky", she drifted from ship to ship, taking new positions as they were offered, and exploring.

Experimental Mobile Assault Response Unit (EMARU) 'Emma'
Bio:
An experimental creation on the part of Nirvana, EMARU (or 'Emma' in day to day conversation) was an attempt to mass produce a PRAYER-capable combat gynoid with standardised capabilites. The project hit a snag when the PRAYER systems Nirvana was using could not be induced to connect with a suitable universe with any great degree of regularity, resulting in extremely high costs in scrapped units for each operational gynoid. The project was shut down, and the handful of operational prototypes were attached to Nirvana's security division.

Prayer 3 (12)
Emma was designed to use her PRAYER system as a power source for a number of internal and external systems with requirements that could not be met by any generator that could fit in a human size chassis. The universe to which she is connected possesses an extremely high relative energy density, and as a result, Emma's PRAYER system is capable of supporting weaponry or defensive shields that would normally only be vehicle portable, subject to the limitations of cooling and maintenance.

History
Archbishop Conrad Gresham has always been known as a strong-willed and shrewd leader. Only among family was he ever known to show a more human side. The festivities for the birth of his daughter Lucy were filled with much rejoicing. However, the joy was not to last - his wife vanished on an expedition beyond UNITY territory, and only a few years later his young daughter succumbed to a mysterious illness beyond even the knowledge of the finest minds in the Church.
The grief-stricken father chose to restore his daughter via the power of science. A bioroid based on her DNA and mental pattern was created. Lucy A, as she was designated, was everything her father could desire - including frozen in time. Lucy A, or Lucia as she likes to be called, looks considerably younger than her actual age, and represents her father's idealized vision of his daughter.
This created no little amount of controversy for the Archbishop, which has only relented recently as Lucia has joined the Sacred Order of St. Duhem. The Duhemite order is dedicated to the righteous practice of science to advance the Church and protect the innocent. While Lucia is only an Acolyte of the Order, she proudly bears its signature arms and armor, and she hopes to learn much on her assignment with Nirvana corporation.
