Amanda will be focusing her time on Elsa for the time being, but Mekhai is an original character, so his bio will be closed and she may take him up again in the future :)

Who are the three people at the Colony you trust the most? The three you trust the least?

This is fairly straightforward. The three people I trust the most are the Chancellor, Mekhai Knight, and Dante Carrington, at a stretch. Though, if I could say myself, I would. 

The three I trust the least? Andreya Roche, Paxton Semenyuk, and Cambie Andrews—just because a person is gentle does not mean they’re harmless.

Mistrust || Mekhai & Quinn

Quinn had been meaning to talk to Mekhai again after recent changes, most notably the fact that the Roy-debacle seemed to have flown over without much hell to pay. Which was either because it had been completely forgotten, or because the storm was still brewing. He liked to think it was over, that his act had been forgotten, or at least buried deep enough not to be talked about, but he wasn’t a positive individual. And the realist knew there was going to be trouble. But that trouble had to spend time at the sidelines, because the biggest threat was still around: the harbinger of the whole rebellious act was still out there. He knew it. They hadn’t brought that person in, because he was certain that they hadn’t changed their tattoo. 

Despite the fact that Quinn knew there was little to no tracks that could lead them to the leader of the little rebellion, he wasn’t about to let it slide because of it. With the guards on their tales, everything had to be reported back to Mekhai, and Quinn was excited to hear what he had learned: even if it was nothing. It gave him the possibility to start about putting a guard on Andee, but not in the same sense as the guards that followed the other misfits around. He didn’t want her to know she had a guard, but he wanted her to know she was being watched. She was capable of setting up a costume that was bound to get their attention, and drive it away from what was actually happening. Although she pretended like she had nothing to do with it. 

He opened the door to the dressing room of the guards, knowing he would catch Mekhai just at the beginning of his shift, which according to Quinn was the best time to catch anyone if you wanted a clear mind and opinion. Despite still not being too sure about the head of security, he had decided to at least give the man the benefit of doubt and a good night rest before stalking him with a search for information and an order or two. 

There were a few other guards in the small room, which used to be a dressing room for the school’s sports club, but in this case worked perfectly for the guards to retire after a long day of work or leave their personal belongings somewhere safe instead of going all the way back to their dorms. He gave a few of them a nod, and they grunted in response, some scared others with little reaction. Some of them were most likely annoyed by their recent switch of guard duty, from good positions to personally following some rebel around the Colony. He understood, he would’ve hated being in their position. But as long as it was necessary, they would do what was asked of them. 

He found Mekhai near the end of the room, and leaned into one of the lockers as he waited for the guard to be done. Most of the guards who were either getting to work or reached the end of their shift, were smart enough to go about their dressing quickly so to leave the room before the Chancellor spoke. Despite him sometimes feeling as if Clove was the better person to fit this position, he couldn’t argue against the respect he was getting from those under orders, possibly because he looked like he could take most of them.

Somebody’s Watching Me || Mekhai & Annie Rebranded

[Eyes, on the back of her head, watching her and lingering there. She can feel them, hot and painful, and she thinks it must be the demon, coming for her again and the hairs on the back of her neck stand erect, she is afraid to look, afraid to see the evil gaze. But she can feel it, drawing her in, lingering as she tries to blend in with a group of others, to not stand out, but how can she not when there is a spotlight on her, one that centers her in this dream. Her dream, where she lives at the forefront, everyone around her bending around her, sometimes in odd and mysterious ways that she doesn’t understand. 

And so her eyes are drawn over her shoulder, to look, to see it there but it’s not the demon waiting for her, it’s... a man. A man who’s gaze she’s felt on her before, like she’s an interesting study, and he’s a valued scientist. But he’s simply a glorified Mall Cop, and she is not a case study.

Because she’s not crazy.

But she, in all of her nerves and all of her jitters, turns, moves closer, but leaves enough space between them to be reasonable. Because she is weary and want a quick escape from this man, should she need it.] Did you want something? [Her voice, like the torrent of emotions inside of her, wavers and flows, quickly lifting at the end as the question squeaks out.]

@agustrian

Mekhai had let his mouth run and it had slipped, he knew he wasn’t supposed to know by the reaction on his face right after those words left his mouth. He had never felt more hurt, more offended, more betrayed. 

Adrian had dated Violet. 

His “best friend” had dated the love of his life and they both hid it from him. He chuckled lowly to himself while stalking through the building, his long strides causing people to separate around him. That’s such a kick isn’t it? They let him believe that nothing was going on between the two of them but he’s to find that it was all a lie. His instinct was to just leave and cool down, but he found himself heading in the direction of the library, an uncommon place for him to be, but not Adrian. 

Landon turned the corner and spotted the arrogant fuck swaggering down the hall and the final twinge of sadness in his chest burst into hot anger. Adrian was lost in whatever stupid world went on inside his head when Landon drew his arm back and thrust it straight into the center of his face. 

“You!”

Mekhai Knight | Thirty Six;  Elite

House: Brink Status: Infected - Telepathy (Infection Unregistered) Elite Specification: NWRF Security Alignment: New Wave Reformists

History

Mekhai was raised to value family above all else. Growing up on a farm in the Romanian countryside of Peciu Nou with his mother and grandparents, he learned to be resourceful and adaptable in times of hardship. At the young age of nine, he would travel to the big city of Timisoara to sell and trade their harvest for supplies. His talent to barter grew and eventually, he began marketing on behalf of the other villagers. In fact, when both his mother and his grandparents died in a fire, the villagers took him in like their own. 

However, after a short time, the authorities connected him with his previously absent father, a wealthy British man.  Sent to live with his father, stepmother and three half-brothers, Mekhai was shocked to find how cold and disconnected they were, not only to him, but to each other. After months of being an outsider to his blood relatives, he realized he had no place among this elite family in his current state. But unsatisfied with remaining in their shadow, he decided he would do whatever it took to win them over. He stopped correcting his father when he called him Michael and worked relentlessly everyday to mimic the mannerisms and accent of ‘sophisticated’ British society. He excelled in school and surpassed his brothers in any activity he set his mind to, hoping to earn their respect. But over the years, nothing seemed to prove his worth to his father or gain acceptance of his brothers.

In his mid-twenties, he became a real estate agent where his adaptable personality crafted a smooth and charming salesman. Around the same time, he met a new client Elis, a paramedic raising his three-year-old daughter, Rosa.  While helping Elis find a home, a part of his persona slipped away and the two became fast friends.  As their friendship grew, he found himself becoming part of their family. Sure enough, he fell deeply in love with Elis and adored Rosa as if she were his own daughter. After making a name for himself in the business world and living off his own wealth, his estranged father finally began to show interest, offering him a place at his company. Smart enough to not let his father use him and tired of trying to be part of a family that had always seen him as an outsider, he turned his attention instead to building his own family. After marrying Elis and raising Rosa, he finally felt content—he finally had a purpose.

Six months after D-day and the first falling, Mekhai and his family were safe. Having met up with a group of survivors, they found a gated hotel and there they formed a settlement. Nearly three years later, small clans had popped up within a mile’s radius around them, and Mekhai worked as a scavenger, trading supplies between the groups. When raider and looter attacks became more frequent, he worked on gathering the tools necessary to upgrade security for his own and the surrounding clans. Shortly thereafter, he developed his infection: Telepathy. Though excruciatingly painful at first, he eventually learned control and used it to communicate with Elis while he was away from home.

However, on a dreary day like many others, after returning from a long trading circuit, he found his home in flames. To his horror and devastation, the dead lay everywhere, and Elis was among them. In the midst of his despair, he found survivors who explained the infected were captured and Rosa was one of them.

In overwhelming pain and anger, Mekhai lost himself to a violent rage, tracking down and attacking smaller groups of raiders, whether they were the ones responsible or not. Eventually, he discovered that the raiders who’d destroyed his family were all Infected and belonged to some cult. Their leader Marius, a Deluded, believed that the Infected were chosen by God to rebuild the earth and that he and his followers’ collective purpose was to eliminate the weak and liberate ‘God’s chosen’. Mekhai would later come to understand that Marius and his followers were among the first of what would become an extreme revolutionist movement called the New Wold Radicals. Of course, this was impossible to predict back then, in a time before the official rise of the NWRF. 

After months of searching for Rosa, Mekhai found what he believed to be her body, pulling her locket out of the ash. In the following months, he sank into a nightmarish state he can hardly remember, which broke only when his hunt for Marius was successful, and he took the man’s life with his own hands. 

Avenged, but shattered and exhausted, he wandered the wastelands, waiting for death.  He had no reason to live, anymore. His purpose having died alongside his family, and the one who killed them. But more than a year after the death of his family, he was found by a group of Crusaders—no longer working for the Colonies, but for the NWRF, in the Purging of the Wastelands. He was taken in to a nearby Reformist outpost, and nursed back to health. It was upon learning the purpose of this new government and their vision for the future, that Mekhai too, recovered purpose, and he was in a sense, revived. 

Mekhai Today

Having lied about his Infection when recovered from the wastelands, too shameful of his affiliation to a ‘curse’ he so hated, Mekhai joined the NWRF while in the lowest point of his life. Today, however, he has a renewed resolve to protect the Uninfected—the innocent—from the dangerous nature of the Infected and more specifically, the New World Radicals. Though not all Radicals believed or operated as extremely as the delusional Marius, their platform of being a superior, evolved race, was more than enough for Mekhai to make the distinct association between the movement and the deranged cult who killed his family two years prior. 

He was sent to Colony 22 at the time of the initial take over, to serve as NWRF hired security. Based on his revulsion towards the Infected, they saw him as an asset and a domineering force to be reckoned with, and they needed someone they could trust to infiltrate the existing Colony security. Mekhai vowed never again to use his dreaded ability, as he could not go on living if he considered himself ‘one of them’.

Though he does what he can to update the Colony’s still outdated security, he’s also made it his objective to watch and access every one of the Infected, on his own personal account. In fact, it has manifested into a relentless obsession. Often plagued by night terrors, he’s resorted to neurotically updating his personal records and accounts of the Infected he’s observed, long into the night. He meticulously memorizes any personal information he’s formulated on them, which he stores in offline files on his private Echo device, and continuously evolves profile after profile of Infected and Deluded inhabitants, assessing each one carefully.

Falling back into old habits, he often appears as a collected, charming individual when in the presence of Elites and other NWRF members. But his demeanour drastically changes when dealing with the Infected. He isn’t afraid to put them in their place and get his hands dirty, if need be. He’s rumoured to be a menace among the Infected who’ve seen the grave hatred in his eyes. At his core, Mekhai is unpredictable—they are right to fear him. It’s likely only a matter of time before he snaps again.

The open starter list has been updated in the sidebar to the right, and wow, it’s really blown up the past couple days! With more to come... haha...

Now, just another more timely head’s up that both Amanda and Cat are going to be on overseas vacation at virtually the same time! Amanda (Mekhai Knight and Elsa Copland) will be on hiatus from now until June 12th. You may see her appear a bit over the weekend before she leaves on Monday, but ya’ll know how packing and getting ready for a trip can be! She says she may also be able to do replies every now and again while she’s away, but we’re full-hiatusing her in case! 

And Cat (Paxton Semenyuk) will be on hiatus starting May 25th and to June 12th as well! She may be able to be back on the dash before the 12th, but she’s giving herself a couple jetlag days to be safe!

Finally, Molly has touched base about her expired hiatus, and will be back on the dash no later than this Saturday. 

The hiatus list has been updated. Safe travels to you both!! We’ll miss you terribly but know you’ll have a wonderful time and look forward to hearing your stories and adventures when you return!

LEADERSHIP AWARDS: LEADERSHIP EXCELLENCE AWARD

So far she’s done a lot better than she expected. No um's and uh's, freeze-ups or blanking in terror—but this next award stirs an uneasy flutter in her chest. An Elite award means, well, Elites. And more than likely at least a few NWRF, whose emotions tend to make her flustered—which is definitely not ideal right now.

“The next awr—award is for Leadership Excellence, acknowledging Elites who show exemplary leadership, initiative and influence. And the Nominees are:

ALEX DONOVAN

DANTE CARRINGTON and

MEKHAI KNIGHT

Elsa taps the screen of her echo device but it’s unresponsive. She taps it again—the names of the nominees repeat again in her ear. She taps a third and fourth time, the same thing happens.

“Uh, let’s give them a big hand before I announce the final winner,” she offers to try her best to remain calm or at the very least, appear enthusiastic. Her chest tightens as she quickly tries to fix the device. As the crowd settles, much faster than she would've liked, she quickly reloads the program and skips through to the Leadership Excellence award. Then she finally finds it and the winner repeats in her ear. 

“The runner up of the Leadership Excellence awards is Dante Carrington, of Brink House. And Finally, in first place, is—Alexander Donovan of Calyset.” Elsa joins the applause, as they come up stage and congratulates them individually as they receive their awards.

Mika has also checked in, and apologizes for being scarce, and also plans to be on tonight with Benji and Lake. Ditto about letting you know if that changes!

Kristie (Clayton Boyd) however, will be extending her hiatus until Friday. Obviously things are still crazy around the house with the loss in her family—take all the time you need sweetheart, and thanks for letting us know! 

Everyone else is totally, a hundo-percent compliant! I’m moved my beans. Moved. 

Okay, I’m in that wierd hyper-sparkle mood again so I’ll wrap this up. Just a quick reminder that answering asks does not count for activity! So keep that in mind when considering your activity this upcoming week! 

Ta for now!
