SICK SISTERS

## Biography

The age of the Sick Sisters is somewhat contentious. Virtuality as a system was invented in around 2047 which coincided with other Heaven based products like Karma and the Citizen Chip. So if Virtuality was invented in 2047 and the Sick Sisters were the first hosts ever to be used in the system, given their bodies, they would have been born between 2027 and 2017 assuming they were somewhere between 20 and 30 years old when they became hosts to Virtuality.

Regardless of when they were born the Sick Sisters were conjoined twins connected at the brain and one way or another they became the faces of Heaven's Project Geminus, an initiative to create a sort of regional internet system that connects all of Rengkok's technology inclding the Citizen Management System to the Karma currency system and beyond. As they continued on as hosts they began to consume more and more power to keep their bodies alive while at the same time producing more and more experiences for those who use Virtuality to experience, from bliss to extreme horror.

Eventually they became so powerful that Virtuality could simply not exist without them. They likely then became permanent members of the Heaven Elite and were gifted control of Hell where Heaven runs illegal and inhumane Imagination Farms beneath the city. The Sick Sisters likely also spearheaded the invention of Mother and the Angel machines as Mother became the vessel in which the sisters are able to move around the region. By the time of the events of Ruiner they had gained control of not just Virtuality, but also traps, defective units and even the Drained Hosts themselves, using them as disposable tools.

Eventually in year 2091 the Sick Sisters, TrafficKing, Mother and Wizard joined together to form a coup to overthrow BOSS and take control of Heaven for themselves. Wizard used his hacking abilities to awaken PUPPY, the clone of the boss, and hoped that he would be able to kill the boss and let them take control. However the plan was foiled last minute by HER and as such Wizard went into hiding.

The Sick Sisters would encounter PUPPY again when they, while inside Mother, encountered him in the Hanza Compound and played witness to his fight with the supercomputer but ultimately were forced to retreat when Mother became too damaged to continue fighting. Once again they would encounter PUPPY when he stepped into their domain in Hell with TrafficKing in tow. The sisters had Mother fire on their former ally, nearly killing him before fighting PUPPY and being forced to retreat once again.

The final confrontation between the Sick Sisters and PUPPY came later in Hell when PUPPY found the pod containing his brother, but it was a trap as at all sides were angels spawning Drained Hosts while the Sick Sisters fired the iconic Mother laser beam. During the fight PUPPY deals enough damage to the system the Sick Sisters are in causing a surge that kills the Cruel Sister. Initially shocked, the Merciful Sister laughs and is overjoyed at having all the power to herself but was killed by PUPPY soon afterwards.

## Appearance

The Sick Sisters were nearly identical to each other, with naked metal plated bodies completely identical to each other. The only difference between the two, physically at least, were their faces. The Merciful Geminus wore a calm expression with a faceplate that went down to the upper edges of her nose, had 4 small blue eyes, and several protrusions from the upper-back of her skull. She may have been cyberized second, as she is seen far beneath a '2' symbol on the machine they are connected to. The Cruel Geminus was likely injured at some point in the past, as her faceplate looks damaged and slightly out of place, has only a single red eye, and lacks the skull protrusions. The Sisters heads were hooked to a large, heart-like mass of tubing which presumably kept them connected to Virtuality, and by extension each other.

## Database Entry

> The true faces behind Project Geminus, the root of Virtuality. The Sick Sisters are conjoined twins, connected by their brains, and Virtuality's first hosts. Buffering constant streams of data, they consume more and more brain and tech power to stay alive and process their expanding visions. Unrestrained imagination led to irreversible changes to their psyches and personalities. The sisters are still the core of Virtuality, supplying it with a vast range of experiences, from bliss to extreme horror. Outside of the Imagination Farms, they travel enclosed in Mother's Abdomen.

> They control not just Virtuality but everything that's happening at the farms: traps, defensive units - and the hosts themselves, using them as cannon fodder. So sick!

## Abilities

Being connected to each other and to Virtuality, the Sick Sisters are unable to perform well in a combat scenario simply because they have no mobility, however they are able to control the Virtuality at will, which is effectively the internet of the entire Rengkok Region, and are also able to control every machine and even other hosts inside of it at the smallest whim. They were also skilled in working with electronics as they were able to take the TrafficKing who had previously burned to death, revive him, and put him in a body similar to that of a Heavy Cyborgs.
