## Official Description

YOU'D BETTER BE CAREFUL, 'CAUSE I'M WATCHING YOU!

Watchman has always been a selfless helper for the non-Cybers, whether it's seeking revenge for well-deserved jobs or getting justice for a blood-sweat-tears lawsuit. Since the police don't uphold the justice he wants, he took off his uniform and became a vigilante.

Dominic has never desecrated the ideal of maintaining justice and peace. Even if joining the police force doesn't meet up to his ambitions, he won't ever give up.

###  Trainee

To: Dominic (Watchman)
  Welcome to Isle City, Dominic—a place you'll have all the time in the world to do whatever you want as a Trainee!
  The name's Ducksyde. Word of your arrival has already reached my ears courtesy of Isle City's BBS. If you don't mind me asking, what's with all the stories about you beating up defenseless girls and weird mind-control tricks? (I'm not saying I take any of that seriously. Just asking). Personally, I'd love to have a superhero for a friend even if others are a bit icky about it.
  But of course, Ducksyde just had to investigate the identities of those forum users, and guess what I found? All the posts originated from one guy—"Laz". Furthermore, I also worked out that you and him go way back... What happened? You didn't "mind control" him, did you?

###  Mercenary

To: Ducksyde
  Dear Ducksyde, I'm honored you would dare write to such a "mind-controlling evildoer". Anyways, congratulations to the villainous Watchman for earning the Mercenary title! Forgive me if I don't bother justifying myself against Mr. Laz's innumerable lies. Liars are always gonna lie, but truth always wins in the end.
  But I do find it incredibly ironic that Mr. Laz accused me of mind control. He must have come up with that accusation through my experiences. You know who spends all day on the internet making up wild accusations against innocent people under a veil of anonymity? Liars.
  Those with a shred of common sense will see me for who I am and will befriend or team up with me regardless. I'm happy enough not to have anything to do with people dimwitted enough to believe such lies. And I'm in the right place. Isle City is like a training ground for the best of the best, and everyone is going to find out very plainly who can be trusted and who can't!

###  Hunter

To: Dominic (Watchman)
  Congratulations to my newly-titled Hunter! I really have to thank you for helping me out in a tough spot that match. I don't think I would have fared too well against the enemy team if it wasn't for your turret. Cheers!
  I'm not sure whether you know this, but we were actually in the same line of work back in the old world. You were a Watchman on the frontlines while I was a Peacekeeper in charge of civilian unrest. I'd already heard about you then on account of that riot. Back then, as I'm sure you recall, those against augmentation were kicking up a huge fuss. Looking back on it now, I think both sides had a point (considering we didn't know what would eventually happen...) But our orders were pretty clear on who to come down hard on. I remember hearing about an officer who refused to toe the line against the protesters. In fact, I think you disobeyed a direct order. You protected them even when they were throwing rocks at you.
  That's when I realized: this is a man with honor! And I knew immediately that all the forum lies are just that—lies. Don't worry about them. I'll do what I can to spread the word that someone's got a weird vendetta against you. And I look forward to the next time we get to work together.

###  Hotshot

To: Dominic (Watchman)
  How you doin' partner? (if I can call you that, heh!) That was a really great duel-off at the Hotshot ranking party last night. Really brings me back to my days with Murphy Security (although I try not to think about it too much—painful memories, heh). You know the way you hold your rifle really reminds me of my old Captain, although you couldn't be more different. He was never much of a conversationalist. You're a lot more fun!
  I was also quite impressed that you're the only other person I've met here with the same obsessive attention to detail regarding firearms. I'll be sure to bring some of my old weapons from my days with Murphy Security with me next time we meet!
  Also, I'm really sorry to hear about all of those vicious internet rumors. I think I might know someone who can help—a real pro when it comes to online things. I think it would be a shame if we left those posts up there (personally I know better than to get my opinions from the internet). He'll help you get them off the forums.

###  Eradicator

To: Dominic (Watchman)
  Good day to you, Mr. Dominic. Or perhaps I should call you Mr. Eradicator seeing your recent title? Heh. Yong told me about your run-in with false accusations on the city's most popular message boards. I've got some experience in the area. In fact, there was a time in my past life when I spent a lot of time churning out crazy, angry opinions behind a keyboard. But I never did it anonymously.
  I recognized your name from the Eradicator list actually—you were one of the officers involved with civil troubles all those years ago. I was actually on the side of the protesters then. I even joined that demonstration. Most didn't see the gunshot, they only heard it. I saw the whole thing. I know you were only trying to protect that poor girl. Somebody must have misjudged you. I couldn't imagine what you had to deal with back then...
  Disclaimer: I'm not a professional hacker by any means. A lot of people say that about me, but I don't want to over-promise and under-deliver. I'll do my best to get rid of those messages from the back end. Hope to come across you in person later. Wouldn't mind learning a few new tricks!

###  Enforcer

To: Dominic (Watchman)
  My dear Officer Dominic! I knew as soon as the various "allegations" regarding you began vanishing from Isle City's BBS that I was dealing with a very capable individual. Not only have you defeated me, but you've also earned the Enforcer title. Applause is well-deserved. And I'm sure you must be feeling very happy about it all...
  May I ask how you've been sleeping? Let me tell you how I have been: terribly. Every night I dream of the same thing: a variation of the prison and psychiatric ward that I spent so much time in. In the dream, I'm always running, again and again, while something threatening me comes ever closer. It seems like pain and suffering follows me around wherever I go, or I follow it, like a moth to a flame. As for my long stint in prison? I actually think that it was your total disregard for my well-being that hurt me more than defeat at your hands. Case in point, what I'd really like to do is just start a conversation. All I want is a bit of sympathy—maybe that's why I've ended up hurting innocent people. The indifference of good men is also considered evil...
  I admit that I was the author of those various rumors. Was I acting out of spite? I suppose so. But you've hurt me very badly, have you not? And now you're an Enforcer partly due to the circumstances I created. So, in a way, you really should thank me. And that is what I really wanted to ask you: do you think that you have room in your heart for a little bit—just a little bit—of sympathy for little ol' Beau?
