The Story
=========
The World of Neo-Amerika
In the not-too-distant future, the mighty country known as America has
fallen like all great empires throughout history. Its fifty states broken
into private territories after what was called...
The Techno-Industrial Civil Wars. Computer technology, bio-engineering,
cybernetics and mechanics accelerated at such an incredible rate, it forced
industrial competition to the point of uncontrollable and ruthless corporate
espionage.
While the government tried to keep control of the country by a single
thread, the effect of the giant corporations' white collar wars drove the
economy into a tail spin. With Wall Street in shambles, the government
bankrupt and technological corporate giants running unorthodox takeovers,
Neo-Amerika was born. Starting with Micro-Gene, a Dallas based microchip /
bio engineering company, New Mexico was easily annexed by the construction of
more micro-chip processing plants and cloning technology labs. Arizona was
the company's next target and by the time Micro-Gene moved in on Nevada,
things started to get ugly. Micro-Gene had been using enhanced agents to spy,
sabotage and gather information on competing companies, but other competitors
began fighting back with their own brand of genetically enhanced corporate
spies and agents.
These wars between giant corporations a.k.a. "GI-Corps", gave way to
more complicated, advanced and unethical methods. The kidnapping of corporate
executives and replacing them with clones capable of downloading company
secrets was becoming commonplace. Soon, murder and terrorist tactics became
tools of choice in the battle between the GI-Corps.
With the advent of the GI-Corps battles, each State developed desperate
measures to secure themselves from a hostile take-over. By declaring Federal
independence from the U.S., drastic laws and borders were created between
states. Violence soon reared its ugly head and the Techno-Industrial Civil
Wars began.
Something had to be done before the once great country destroyed itself
or became target to outside invasion. An agreement had to be made between the
government and the GI-Corps before America was torn apart. So a radical
concept was introduced to prevent the possible loss of millions in the
increasing wars between GI-Corp controlled states. Thus...
The Secret Games Commission (SGC)
Spearheaded by forces unknown (possibly foreign interest), a commission
was set up in league with the remaining U.S. Government to regulate the
piracy that was tearing apart the United States with the hopes of possibly
re-uniting the once proud country. The SGC and the American Government put
forth a proposal to the GI-Corps: territorial or contract disputes would be
settled in an arena. Instead of armies, one champion would represent a
GI-Corp controlled state in battle against another corporation's champion.
The winning Champion would take control of the opposing state along with
whatever other states that may have been acquired from previous battles.
The Coming of the Bio F.R.E.A.K.S.
The first unified law in decades was passed and the concept of
one-on-one battles settling GI-Corp disputes became a reality. As a matter of
fact, the creation of ultimate fighting machines was inevitably the next step
in the industrial world of Neo-Amerika and its civil wars.
Each GI-Corp jumped at the opportunity to create these warriors from
technology they specialized in. Cloning had become an easy task for the
science divisions of the corporate states. Enhancement by genetics and
cybernetics were available technologies as well. Born from these scientific
secrets were: Biological Flying Robotic Enhanced Armored Killing Synthoids.
Bio F.R.E.A.K.S. for short, these enhanced humans were created
specifically for the purpose of battle. Bred in laboratories as killing
machines, the Freaks were genetically endowed with peak strength and agility,
a rapid healing factor, body tissue regeneration and built-in weaponry. They
are owned by the GI-Corps and controlled through a bio-drive that also allows
them to down-load combat skills and strategies. An intricate tattoo of
circuitry gives them access to the bio-drives, which are located in each
Freak's skull. There are three stages of Freakdom:
Synthoids: Genetically enhanced clones with tissue regrowth abilities.
Retros: (as in retro-fit): One flaw in the Freak creation process is that the
tissue regrowth abilities will fail after a while. If a body part is
destroyed and the regeneration processes has discontinued, cybernetic
replacements are attached to the Freak.
Dozers: These are freaks who have not only lost so much of their human tissue
but also the ability to regenerate. Their bodies are completely
mechanical save for the brain.
Closed-circuit battle pits are where all the action takes place. While
more reminiscent of Roman gladiators than a football game, the states'
populace savors the conflicts with crazed fervor. While the whole world
watches the fights in frantic anticipation, there are those who do not enjoy
the rigorous battles faced far too often the Bio Freaks themselves.
The Freak Underground or GI-Corp Resistance
Not having any government of corporate sanctioned rights, being under
constant control of a GI-Corp, doomed to a destiny of violence and ultimate
loss of humanity, some Freaks have gone rogue and formed an underground
resistance. Their goal, to escape the control of their "owners" and obtain
their equal rights.
While the Secret Game Commission's ultimate goal is to re-unify America,
the possibility of a GI-Corp Resistance interferes in some of their most
important progress. If an underground movement becomes successful and all
Freaks go rogue, then a swift relapse to the days of the Civil Wars is
possible and the hopes of peace could be crushed.

BULLZEYE
========
Freak classification: Synthoid_
Bullzeye has been around for years and was bred so well that he still hasn't
had to have a cybernetic replacement grafted onto him. He was originally
created as a prototype soldier clone by Micro-Gene and has since fought many
times in the Battle Pits. Bullzeye is a survivor. He has a very militant
attitude and relishes in the prospects of victory. Bullzeye has a special
connection to an ambassador of the Secret Games Commission and is convinced
that the games are the only way to re-unify Neo-Amerika. While his only
purpose is to serve as a champion, he feels his mission is worth the risks
he takes at each conflict. He prides himself in his ability to overcome the
opponent and be the best there is. He knows what he is but deep inside, in a
corner of his mind, lies the secret desire to be a real human.

DELTA
=====
Freak classification: Synthoid_
Delta is a female champion for the current state of Indiana / Michigan. She
was created by Detroit's General Genetics Gi-Corp. Her specialty is speed
and is touted as one of the fastest Freaks on the game circuit. Delta is
young and idealistic for a bio-drive operated Freak and is rumored to have
friends in the underground. She is constantly under surveillance because of
her suspected connections to the Resistance, but still proves a valuable
player for the state of conglomerate. She has battled Minatek before and
lost an arm. But instead of opting for a cybernetic enhanced weapon
attachment, chose a prosthetic to keep her natural body form. Because of her
incredible winning track, she gets many perks.

MINATEK
=======
Freak classification: Dozer_
The Freak known as Minatek was one of the first Synthoids created by
Micro-Gene for the battle pits. He helped them win Kentucky and Illinois at
one time. Throughout the many battles, his regeneration qualities
disintegrated and he was enhanced with cybernetic weaponry. He is one of the
oldest champions and just before graduating to Dozer status, was purchased
by Missouri where he was further altered by Anhieser Robotics Co. While
nearly invincible due to his state of the art armor and weaponry, Minatek
secretly wishes to join the underground after the traumatic procedures he's
experienced. He serves as a reminder to some Freaks as what will eventually
happen to them as they continue service in the games. Minatek has been
reprimanded several times after bio-drive scans showed that he was thinking
of going rebel. Anhieser Robotics Co. is currently working to perfect a
free-will nullifying bio-drive, but because of Micro-Gene's accomplishment
with Sabotage, they've been beat to the punch.

PSYCLOWN
========
Freak classification: Synthoid_
Psyclown battles exclusively for the State of Illinois. He was created by a
small but quickly growing cloning lab called Duplications Unlimited, a
subsidiary of the state's largest GI-Corp, Chicago TechNetics. Psyclown's
bio-dive programming purposely keeps his adrenaline supply in a state of
constant flow and regeneration. His senses are so enhanced that, paired with
the adrenaline rush, he's on the edge of sanity. While it is commonly known
that Psyclown is a clone, there is a rumor in the inner circles of the
underground GI-Corp Resistance that he's a direct clone of the dead son of
Duplications Unltd.'s CEO. In the midst of his prevailing hyper insanity,
Psyclown has allowed enough of his mind to carry a goal: to ultimately
punish the man directly responsible for his creation and the creation of all
Duplications Unltd. clones, D.U.'s founder and CEO.

PURGE
=====
Freak classification: Retro_
Purge is champion of the games created by NewCell Incorporated in close
association with their PyroTechnique division. NewCell's bio-drive's have
had the best track record of all the GI-Corps so far. Purge never was a
straight synthoid to begin with. His cybernetic attachments were grafted
just after his "birth." Purge represents Utah which was quickly taken over
by Micro-Gene's rebellious subsidiary, NewCell. This created an incredible
rivalry between Texas and Utah. Micro-Gene has tried to battle for the right
to own Purge since he was created with proprietary information that NewCell
stole when they broke away and purchased Utah, but the Chief Games
Commissioner has not recognized any claim to him. Purge is one of the
fiercest Freaks because of his high intellect and loyalty to the games. He
has a Kamikaze sensibility programmed in him and that lack of fear has
worked against many an opponent.

SABOTAGE
========
Freak classification: Unknown_
Sabotage is a hired mercenary-bounty hunter currently working for the Chief
Games Commissioner, a public face for the Secret Games Commission. She has
been hunting ZipperHead and other known rebels for sometime. She is a
rough, tough, agile and focused on her targets. Sabotage's background
includes a two year service with the Nevada-California State Conglomerate
Police Force where she was legally enhanced for the Violent Crime
Department. After her term ended, she was hired as a freelance agent to
catch True-Breeds (people who illegally enter conflicts with Freaks) and
rogue Freaks. What Sabotage and the player doesn't know is that she's an
advanced prototype synthoid made by DNA Advancement Laboratories. In a
twisted sort of way, she is blood with her fiercest opponent, ZipperHead.

SSAPO
=====
Freak classification: Retro_
Ssapo was a secret attempt by an underground renegade faction of New Mexico
to create a champion that would give them freedom from the Texas Annex. The
cloning procedures were expected to produce the most fierce champion ever, a
creature with the killing advantage: limb shredding teeth, incredible
strength, skull crashing hands and super speed. The monstrosity was further
enhanced with cybernetic weaponry. When finished, the scientists thought it
looked like a toad because of its odd features and green skin, thus the
Spanish name Ssapo was given to the creature. While Ssapo's intellect is
not very high, the bio-drive in his skull is all he needs to battle as moves
and skills are downloaded into his neural path, another first for the small
group of rebel scientists. Ssapo was granted admission into the games and
New Mexico won its independence from Micro-Gene's Texas Conglomerate.

ZIPPERHEAD
==========
Freak classification: Retro_
ZipperHead was a synthoid champion whose career came to a drastic turn after
a battle with Bullzeye in which he lost both hands and forearms. He was then
moved to Retro status with the addition of cybernetic weaponry replacing his
lost tissue. Knowing that the next step of evolution for a Freak was to
eventually become a Dozer, ZipperHead experienced a breakdown and vowed
revenge on Bullzeye and the system that created him. He ripped out the
bio-drive in his skull, freeing himself from the influence and control of
the GI-Corp that owned him. He then went underground. ZipperHead was
originally a manufactured soldier by one of Micro-Gene's biggest
competitors, DNA Advancement Laboratories. Their first prototype models
experienced bio-drive complications, with a faulty drive often leading to
independent thought. ZipperHead's rebellious actions have been blamed on
this imperfection, but DNA Advancement Laboratories has improved their
drives immensely since ZipperHead's high profile folly.

CLONUS
======
Freak classification: Unknown_
Clonus is the creation of the biggest, most successful GI-Corp in the
North-American continent, Edisson Extractions. Clonus is the sole creation
of Edisson Extractions' founding father and Chief Scientist, Professor
Raymond Deux. Thus far, the professor is the only one who knows the secret
behind Clonus and its abilities. This entity has the ability to mirror any
opponent's physical form and abilities. The opponent finds him or herself
facing an exact duplicate, ultimately succumbing to Clonus's
incomprehensible ability to not only duplicate, but defeat them in battle.
MUTILATOR
=========
Freak classification: Dozer_
This Freak has been in the battle pits long enough for her to become the
most heavily enhanced warrior of all. A literal juggernaut among the others,
Mutilator is a walking army with her chest cannon, missile launchers,
wrecking ball and other gruesome yet effective weaponry. Mutilator was bred
specifically for the purpose of experimenting with cybernetics and has had
virtually all organic matter replaced by machinery over the course of her
many battles with the exception of her brain. What is left of her mind is
under the tight control of a small inner circle of scientists and corporate
executives at MicroGene.
