Biography
โI stopped being a child the moment you sent me to Earth to die!โ
Early Childhood (Birth to 12 years old):
She was born into the Master Race Organization. Her mother was a nurse for the MRO, and her father was a scientist. Because of this, the organization had a unique opportunity to genetically modify Adore while she was still in her mothers womb. Because of this reason, she is stronger than the other children who were modified with her. In fact, after years of study, she is considered to be the closest to perfection the Master Race Organization gets for over a decade.
Adore finds out years later that her birth was not consensual. Her birth came out of a desire for perfection. And when she was born, her mother attempted to take her and escape from the MRO when her plans were stopped. Adore ended up living for the first 7 years of her life as a lab rat for the MRO, and her mother became an unwilling prisoner herself.
Adore wasnโt born with a name, at least not one that she knew of. If her mother ever gave her a name, she was never told and she never found out. She was born as Subject Number 1-368 into what was considered the First Generation. The First Generation was the generation of superhumans that the MRO created to lead their armies when it was time to declare war on the world to create their own perfect Utopia. The idea of the First Gen was that they were supposed to be perfect. Superhuman speed, strength, agility. They have perfect photographic memory, can learn faster than any ordinary human, and can heal faster too. They were meant to be perfect. Except for one defect. A genetic abnormality that causes the body to reject the modifications done to them. This leads to a rather painful and slow death. Because of this, by the time Adore reaches the age of 7, most of the First Gens had succumbed to this defect.
Life in the MRO wasnโt easy. Only the strong survived. She lost many friends, and suffered horrors that no child should have ever had to face. Between the genetic testing and modifications and experimentations, the brutal battles to the death to prove strength and superiority, and the horrible living conditions made to keep the experiments just weak enough so they couldnโt rebel, life was hell. However, the MRO had a way of making the children fear death more than they feared life. Because of this, the victims typically describe their experiences as โI was too afraid to die, and yet, I was too afraid to live.โ
They were kept in a constant state of fear, pain, confusion and despair.
When Adore was 7, she was finally freed from the hell that was the MRO by a man named Connor Durand and his group of highly skilled combat specialist friends and comrades. Connor had heard of the MRO and what they were doing from his friend who used to work as a guard for them but quit shortly after he realized the evil nature of the MRO. Connor was the first to pioneer the hidden organization that made it their purpose to free and rehome the victims of the MRO.Connor found Adore just in time. Adore was just about to take her own life after her lover, and best friend, Ash, had killed himself to save Adore when the MRO put them together in a duel to the death. Ash in his attempt to save Adoreโs life, stabbed himself in the heart with a dagger that the guards had given him to kill Adore. Adore, with the same dagger, was about to do the same when Connor interfered.
During this time, Adore was being kept in a hidden MRO base in Washington State. When she was freed from the MRO, she had never seen the sky, or the sun, or trees. She was struck in awe and amazement as she stared at the trees, absorbing everything she took in and because of her perfect photographic memory, she will never forget the first time she saw the giant Sequoia.
It took her months to physically recover from her abuse and neglect with the MRO. Eventually, when she was healthy enough, she, along with the other children who were freed, had private tutors who came in to teach them math, language, science, and history so that they could begin to blend in with normal society. This is also where Adore learned that fighting, and killing, wasnโt how normal humans handled their problems.
She attacked another child when he pushed her on the playground, almost killing him before Connor and a few other volunteers were able to pull her off the kid. Connor, being a child psychologist, tried to help Adore see that that kind of behavior wasnโt accepted in normal society. When she realized that she wasnโt normal, that violence wasnโt acceptable, she became terrified of herself, and her own abilities. She became afraid of her inner demons and the chaos that lay within. And she knew she had to learn to control herself and her abilities.
In the hopes that Martial Arts could offer Adore a sense of strength to control herself, Connor introduced her to some Martial Arts movies. She watched them all, absorbing the forms and the artwork of the Martial Arts, and eventually she realized that her path to control, to freedom from her demons, lay in becoming a master Martial Artist. Once she realized that, she gained permission to travel the world to study and train with some of the best martial artists in the world.
Some of the forms she studied in China were: Shaolin Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and Wing Chun and in Japan she studied: Iaijutsu, and Jujutsu. She also became a weapons master and learned meditation techniques with the Shaolin monks. She also created her own form of martial arts called Yวngshรฌ zhฤซ lรน or Way of the Warrior which granted her a higher degree of black belt and the title of GrandMaster when she was 13.
Once she felt she had a good grasp on her skills, she went back to the states where Connor took her in with open arms and officially became her legal guardian along with three other children who she would come to know as her siblings. Andrew and Devin, both twins, and Melody who was younger than all of them and ended up being Adoreโs biological sister.
13-17:
Adore tried her best to put the past behind her. She relied on meditation, her skills as a martial artist, and on Connorโs teachings to try to find that sense of normal sheโs been missing her whole life. She was at the top of her class with a 4.1 GPA and finally made friends. Samantha and Alexandra Chen. They were the identical twin daughters to the all mighty Chen family. Mr. Chen was a CEO for a large technological firm out of Japan, and Mrs. Chen was a famous movie actress and traveled the world for her movies. This left Sam and Alex with the parental supervision of their slightly eccentric uncle, Uncle Hiyashi. He was known to be a world renowned chef in his early years and now spent his life raising Sam and Alex after his wife had passed away from cancer. He considered Alex and Sam to be his own daughters, but because of his grief, he allowed them to get away with what normal parents would never find acceptable.
This allowed Adore, Sam, Alex, and Adoreโs siblings the freedom to many adventures. While they werenโt at school, they were usually traveling the world in style. Getting into trouble with far away governments, and shopping at the best stores known to man. Life finally started to feel normal to Adore, and she could finally say that she felt happy. Until a traumatic mall shooting left Alex dead which triggered the well contained demons Adore had fought so hard to conceal. She killed the four men who killed Alex and the mall security cameras caught the entire event.
Adore became somewhat of a local hero. โThe teenager who stopped the mall shooting and saved the mall.โ It became an international headline. And it almost tore Sam and Adore apart. During this struggle and paparazzi raids on her house, her location got back to the MRO and they were able to put the pieces together. They came up with a plan to bring Adore back to the MRO.
They sent an implant to her highschool. Someone her age, who was a victim of the MRO like she was, but he was brainwashed into working for them. He tricked Adore into loving him despite Melody feeling disdain for this man and on the night of their school dance, slipped drugs into her drink. He lured her away from the school to a pavilion overlooking the ocean and thatโs where he made his move. He had arranged for a van to come by to grab the two and Adore was absolutely helpless to stop him.
Adore went through horrendous torture in that van and by the time they got the the MRO base, she couldnโt even find the strength to move. A few hours later, during an attempt to free Adore, Connor was killed. This, again, enticed a rage that very few people will ever see with Adore and she managed to murder dozens of MRO men. When she finally regained consciousness, she didnโt remember what she had done, and she was covered head to toe in blood.
She doesnโt remember much during her escape, but, of what she does remember, she is almost convinced it was a delusion. She remembered seeing a man with dark wings, jet black hair, and beautiful blue eyes coming to save her. But, she knew that had to have been impossible. Because he looked like Ash.
After Connorโs death, the Chenโs adopted her and her siblings so they wouldnโt be separated in the foster care system. It was thanks to Sam that they were adopted. Adore fell into a deep depression and began to question a lot in her life. She started going to illegal fight clubs and taking part in the fighting so she could win money and put it towards a war fund. She went to underground raceways and raced with the cars that her brother, Devin, designed and built. She started digging up old connections to the MRO so she could start plotting a way to destroy them. Her life, her obsession, became destroying the MRO and avenging not just Connorโs death, but the deaths of all the people she loved and who have lost their lives to them.
She becomes reserved and doesnโt partake in much more outside of school and her obsessions. She graduates from high school with honors and becomes the Valedictorian. On the evening of the day she graduates as her family is preparing to fly to Hawaii to celebrate their graduation, the MRO declares war on the world and the world as they know it is thrown into chaos.
War Time:
Right as the MRO declares war on the world, they activate chips that they use for trackers located at the base of every victim of the MROโs skull. Using these devices, theyโre able to track down every single escapee from the MRO and they send squads to hunt them down. They can even use these chips to kill the subjects if they so wanted to, but, it was far more entertaining to them to keep their subjects alive. Because of this, they were able to track down where Adore and her family were living in a fancy beach estate on the Florida coast.
Knowing this, Adore and her siblings attempted to escape but it was too late. In order to save her family, Adore stayed behind and fought the squad that had attacked the estate. She knew it was suicide, knew that she wouldnโt survive. But, as long as her family made it out okay, her death would be worth it.
But, the MRO had other plans for Adore. They took her alive and she became a prisoner for them for almost an entire year. She went through absolute hell. Unlike anything sheโs had to endure before. Eventually, reality became skewed with hallucinations and she began to question her own sanity.
*** This is a big point where the storyline can differ as stories are written, but Iโm going based off of the book Iโm writing***
Ash, Adoreโs long ago lover, knew of her capture and even though he wanted to go free her, the Angels would never allow it. So, one day, after he found out that Andrew had tried, and failed, to free Adore, he had enough. He went against the orders from the Angels and went down to Earth using a human form to free Adore himself. He went under a different name so Adore wouldnโt know it was him. He saved her from the MRO and nursed her back to health. When she was healthy enough to travel, he let her call the shots. And she had a plan.
She knew where her family would be if they were still alive, and knew that they would need all the reinforcements they could get. She would travel from one side of the USA to the other to gather allies, resources, and strength so that when she did return, she wouldnโt return empty handed. She would return with an army ready to destroy the MRO. During their travels across the country, they had many adventures. Even though Adore was on a mission to build her army, she also knew that this may be the last time she could experience life. She was fully prepared to die in this war. So, she found what fun she could. She traveled to amusement parks and fairs and just about everything she could. She would usually always make the detour worth it and would usually find other victims of the MRO hiding out in those obvious places and would find a new ally, or a new connection.
She also experienced discrimination. The world was terrified of those labeled MRO. And even though she wasnโt working for their shared enemy, just the fact that she was once a victim of the MRO was enough to make the average human terrified of her. If her identity was found out, it wasnโt uncommon for her and Ash to be kicked out of the place they were at. She also had run-ins with the MRO forces themselves and would sometimes find herself fighting her way out of situations. Or, they would come across towns that the MRO had destroyed in the war.
After months of traveling, she finally came to an old hotel in Georgia that she had bought with the money she gathered from her illegal dealings. This was where her base was. This was where her family had fled to. And, they had redesigned, and refurbished the hotel to fit the needs of a military base.
Once she returned safely, Ash had to say his goodbyes and return back to where the Angelic forces were gathering to face the Demons of Hell which left Adore with her tiny rebellion. After over a year of Adore being away, her rebellion had lost hope in their victory. Although loyal to Adore and their cause, most saw it as nothing more than a suicide mission. Their spirits were fried and disorder was common. Leadership wasnโt established and a few of her people had been fighting over that role for quite some time. She had her work cut out for her, but her main priority had to be to heal Andrew.
During Andrewโs attempt to free Adore from the MRO, he was attacked by someone from the MRO and was in a coma. But, before she could do anything to help her brother, they found out that an entire MRO army was marching right for their doorstep with the intent of destroying the little resistance before they could come together to destroy the MRO.
This first battle was difficult, and it almost destroyed this resistance. Adore didnโt have a lot of luck gaining support from what little connections she had to the US military, or other military forces around the world and the battle seemed rather hopeless. However, with some ingenuity and skillful tactics, they were able to survive the first onslaught from the MRO. While they were recovering from this battle and preparing for the next wave, however, they were attacked by a force from Hell. A whole squad of Demons attacked the small base as the sun set over the horizon and Adoreโs small resistance was facing complete destruction.
Right when all seems hopeless, help arrives from the most unlikely of sources. The Angels had come to their aid.
Up until this point, Adore had refused to believe in Angels, or an afterlife, and she was convinced that if there was a God in the sky, he would have to answer to her for all the suffering and pain that the victims of the MRO had to suffer through. But now, here there were Angels and Demons fighting each other in a gruesome battle at her little base on the Georgia coastline.
This marks the beginnings of a small and shaky treaty Adore forms with the Angels, but this also marks the beginning of a new relationship. One between Adore and Ash. Adore is held back by her feelings of guilt, and now anger that he had never told her that he was alive. And Ash, is hesitant to form any true relationship with Adore because of his duties as an Angel and the ideal that the Ash that Adore loved, is dead. He did die when they were kids. But, the two are soul mates. And it doesnโt take them long to realize no matter how hard they try, they canโt escape the reality that they love each other. And despite the odds, theyโll fight for that love.
During this time, Adore goes through many battles both on land and sea. She loses many friends during the war to defeat the MRO and during the final battle, the one to decide the victor in this war, Andrew is killed in an attempt to save Adoreโs life. But, the battle is won. And the war is declared won. Heaven, as well as the human armies, and Adoreโs small resistance, had won the war.
After the War:
Shortly after the war, it is found that Adore has a daughter. A daughter that was conceived against her will by the MRO. The MRO used her genetic code as well as that of the boy who is responsible for Connorโs death to create an offspring without her knowledge. When Adore realizes this, she is filled with rage that she could have been violated to such an extent. But, more than that, she is filled with rage that her daughter, her own flesh and blood, could be exposed to such torture, such horror, and Adore had no idea.
She takes on the role of a mother without hesitation and names her 3 year old daughter Ember. Ash eventually takes on the role of father in Emberโs life and accepts her as his own daughter.
Adore and her small resistance doesnโt have time to recover from the war before their next battle presents itself. And for Adore, Ash, and the other Earth Bound Angels, theyโre having to battle from two fronts. The Angels want to execute the Earth Bound Angels, declaring that their services to the humans have ended and they no longer need to live as humans. And the Humans, who are now terrified of those humans who are genetically modified, want to lock the victims of the MRO away. Some even want to go as far as to execute them as well. Adore finds herself fighting for the right to live for both the Earth Bound Angels, and the victims of the MRO.
She wins the argument with the Angels by declaring that their mission isnโt over yet. They still have an entire world to bring to peace and they are more beneficial to the world alive as Earth Bound Angels then anything else. Ash is also eventually granted the ability to stay on Earth in human form when he proceeds to propose to Adore.
As far as gaining rights for the victims of the MRO, that is more difficult. She decides to put down her swords and gun to pick up a pen and in her case a lawyer. She is determined to prove their innocence, to prove that theyโre not a threat to humanity.
She fights against them being placed into concentration camps, and she fights against the government controlling their lives. She also finds herself in a battle of discrimination and is often attacked in stores, restaurants, etc. As well as her, and the others like her, are being denied access to college despite having high grades. She even has to fight against the victims of the MRO being marked so that an ordinary human knows theyโre in the presence of her kind.
A few years after the war has ended, as she is still fighting for basic rights for the victims of the MRO, small factions start to pop up all over the countries. Those who canโt handle the discrimination any more. Or some factions who are even still loyal to the MRO. So now, she has to pick up her swords and gun once again to fight against these factions. This time, with the help of her younger sister, Melody, who chooses to follow in her sister's footsteps and becomes a fighter like her.
Despite her chaotic life, she still provides safety and a prosperous environment for her younger sister, Melody, and her daughter Ember. The Chenโs help provide them with a comfortable lifestyle while Adore fights for the equal rights of all the victims of the MRO. And Ash works with Devin designing and developing new technology with a technological firm that Mr. Chen helped Devin start. Sam, even though still recovering from the loss of her lover, Andrew, is taking her time to recover, going to college in politics to try to help in the fight for the rights of the victims.
