## History

### Origins

Aurora Dazzle is an original Generation 1 Replica created by the Armacham Technology Corporation to create the perfect expendable clone soldier for the U.S. Military.

During the events of F.E.A.R. Extraction Point, Dazzle (designated Delta 221 at the time), along with all remaining contingents of Variant Six and Seven Replicas were inducted into the Virtual Reality Defense Force as recruits. They were also modified with small brain augments to make them independent without need for a psychic commander, and also less prone to psychic control from other entities.

The VRDF had been awaiting for the opportunity to try out the employment of artificially created individuals who had training from the start, and were operationally capable at the level of common special operations units. Of course, normal Main Defense Force units and the bulk of the VRDF would remain for main use, however High Command required a 'disposable group of risk takers' that could help take care of dangerous problems without hesitation, have extreme effectiveness, and also have the human element required to make the right moral decisions. These newly inducted Replicas were simply dubbed as 'Generation 1 Replicas'. Newly created Replicas made by the VRDF officially were Generation 2's, and sported randomized heights, races, and traits. Generation 2 Replica's also have randomized species, as to help fit into 'Furry' universes during operation.

### The HiveNet Connects All

Of course, like all the other Gen. 1 Replica's before Gen. 2's were introduced, Dazzle was able to be fully restored when killed, albeit without his memories prior to death.

While Dazzle was undergoing his third restoration cycle, his personality not only somehow infected the cloning machines of the factory, but all of the subsequent clones were all connected to an information network. This so called network was an experimental prototype to log tactical information of entire *universes*, with the project temporarily named 'Aurora Dazzle'.

Since *all* of him were connected to this network, they *all* could visit each other's memories and view others' tactical information; they were all independent individuals, yet they were all one at the same time. This sort of hivemind, was simply nicknamed the 'HiveNet' by the Dazzle clones.

### Look At Me, I Am The Captain Now

With the factory's R&D staff curious of the capabilities of 'Dazzle' (of who they had plenty in stock of), they sent numerous small pairs of them to different universes and dimensions, testing their effectiveness as a sort of front line field commander.

In their luck, each Dazzle ended up being a *fantastic* commander, utilized for physically commanding and coordinating troops in person, all while being completely disposable, effective troops that valued others' lives over their own. Their tactical logs assisted in reconnaissance operations, getting exact locations of areas to bombard, and detailed descriptions of enemy positions or forces.

It was also found that each individual Dazzle was able to form their own personality and opinions depending on their experiences, which branched into different 'Variations' of the standard template. These individuals all have their own memories and experiences, and when restored back to life, continue to remember them, despite previous Gen. 1 Replica's being unable to. However, traumatic events and mental conditions also transferred into restored Dazzle's.

Due to all of their combined bravery and sacrifices, it didn't take long for the no longer experimental field commander to get ranked up to General, now being one of the primary leaders of the VRDF to lead operations, large or miniscule.

As it is his primary purpose now, he still functions as a field asset, as opposed to a desk jockey, but he still prefers being called lower ranks instead, as to not have enemy spies catch wind of him being a high ranking officer.

## Personality Presets

With each Dazzle being individual, they all vary in some way, shape, or form, with that form being presets of them. Short descriptions of them may be found below. New presets are created when a Dazzle has changed substantially from whatever personality preset they used to be.

Universal traits across all Dazzle's (with some exceptions) include: Being sterile, low self-esteem, low self-value, Asian race, ability work as pilots/vehicle crewmen.

### Standard, 'Stan'

Stan is the base preset and personality for Dazzle. He is the most normal out of all the variations, with no quirks nor issues.

### Tactical, 'Tac'

Tac was the first deviation away from the Standard Preset, being more anti-social, and more straight forward, yet retaining the light heartedness of the Standard. He also has more personal experience in areas of special operations, counter-terrorism, and general close quarters urban combat, making him more ideal for high risk urban operations.
