Anders Eppli/History

## Background

Anders is the son of Lyon and Llora Eppli, as well as the older half-brother of Fulton Dell, with whom he was raised in the East Albion Megasprawl.

Their father Lyon was a law enforcement officer of the **Hyperion Police Department**, who commanded a STAG team that specialized in extreme violence and counter-terrorism. One day while his parents were away, Lyon responded to a terrorist attack in which Llora was killed in the crossfire. Following this, Lyon had a romantic affair with Fulton's mother, who took the role of Anders' surrogate mother and gave him a brother three years later.

To cope with the tragic loss of Llora, Lyon began to tell Anders stories about his experiences as an LEO, filled with acts of bravery and heroism. In one story, he broke the news about his mother's death. Although Anders was too young to really understand what had happened, it would later inspire him to become an officer himself.

To achieve this, Anders applied for a full medical scholarship for a doctorate of medicine. After being accepted into the program, he enrolled in Dauphin Institute where he majored in biochemistry and general medicine for four years, graduating thereafter with flying colors; he received his ceremonial white coat the same day.

Anders began his medical career through a series of internships at various clinics across eastern Albion. In each term, his knowledge of general practice was put to the test; while he excelled in most fields, he displayed a clear hesitation towards augment-related injuries. Consequently he has never been certified in that area of expertise.

### Minerva Augmentation Scare

In 2684, Anders was out on vacation in Jade City with the whole family when the **Minerva Augmentation Scare** occurred. On the drive back home from the Jade Citipark, their car was sent colliding into a wall by a rampaging augmetic, causing a shard of glass to lodge into Anders' right eye. Lyon was able to get out and defend the others against the psychopath, but was left brutally maimed from the encounter.

After Anders received ocular augmentation replacement surgery, the police informed him that Lyon was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. The family was very distraught over this, and attended his funeral proceedings with heavy hearts. Anders was traumatized by the loss of his eye, although he was able to internalize it to focus on his family's future.

Anders and Fulton, now on their own, would go on to move out of their father's foreclosed home and co-rent an apartment together. From there, the brothers would support each other in their own avenues until they were prepared to go their separate ways. Over the course of their co-habitation, Fulton struggled to cope with the loss of their father, spiraling into an alcohol-fueled despair; he ultimately drove himself into bankruptcy after two years, leaving Anders no choice but to sell the place and leave him behind.

### Hyperion Police Department

Anders was admitted into the HYPD cadet program in 2686, where he was enrolled in the Neo-Fuze Central Police Academy for a semester of basic training before serving his 12-month probationary assignment; a year later, he was officially hired and sworn-in as a full officer at the age of twenty.

Anders used his father as a role model for how he should conduct himself as a police officer, resulting in extraordinary arrests in his first year of duty. He employed the same ethics of unempathetic justice to focus on the mission at hand, even going out of his way to ensure the lives of his fellow officers before those of any criminals. He held this status as a street cop for seven consecutive years before ever expressing interest in a higher position, demonstrating his dedication to the job no matter his rank in the department.

However, Anders' potential to grow was met with apprehension by those who distrusted his father's methods, stunting his growth over the years. It only changed for the better after he accidentally met **Klarisa Fevroniya**—then only a detective—after getting paired up with her for a raid. She had worked with Lyon before, and took interest in seeing how well Anders could compare to him; they went on several more ride-alongs in the following months, the two becoming close partners in no time.

Anders now has Klarisa to thank for giving him the time of day to prove himself where no other division would; it was on her recommendation that he was formally invited to join the **Metropolitan Crimes Division** in the year 2697. She then became his direct supervisor and personal mentor as a probationary detective for the rest of the year. With all the tools of an entire investigative division to support him, Anders was able to take a new approach towards combating the criminal underworld. Klarisa was an immense help in the training process, ensuring he would make it through as a full Detective; she even received a promotion to Senior Detective the same time he was officially promoted.

Today, Anders is an acting detective of the HYPD learning to work his own cases. He is proud to have gotten this far, and owes himself to the legacy his father paved the way for him to take. He will rest assured knowing he did his duty not just to honor his family's teachings, but the whole department's as well.
