Pretty crazy, but remember that, since this game has effective immortality, as crazy as you might go with your robotics, I have every incentive to respond with overwhelming force when needed.Lunar Templar said:
The only major constraints I have on robots are 1) it cannot be sentient (unless you are the robot) and 2) it must be small enough to fit through a Pandora Gate, meaning nothing much larger than a truck. Otherwise, its on a case by case basis.
... wow... I failed at my writing check lol.Lunar Templar said:
anyway... um... I don't know. There are Morphs that big for sure, but I don't know if they can transform into giant walking machines (or vehicles for that mater). Most of the big ones are Whales or Solar-Corona Morphs, designed for space or aquatic environments.
I'd say go for it, but try to keep it reasonable.
Flexbots only get very big when you put a bunch of them together, but I see your point.Asclepion said:There is the flexbot.hiei82 said:

Psionics: It has been a source of pride to have avoided Exsurgent contamination in his work, and he only uses Synthmorphs... so no Psi abilities.
Notable Skills: In his life, before and after his digitization and merging he was well educated and versed in most subject matters. He is expert in regards to AI, ego, and cybernetic technology as well as xeno-archaeology and TITAN research. He is skilled at cyberwarfare and bot control, and regularly uses a skillsoft system. He knows quite a bit about synthmorph tech and has toyed with the idea of incorporating xenotech into his cyberbrain.

Personality (Primary): 115 years of life hasn't been kind to Brian, he's lost alot over time. He keeps the friends he makes close, he has a keen understanding of technology, he appreciates art of all kinds, he's fascinated with xenotech and the TITANs. He understands the universe for what it is, uncaring. He's slowly losing his ability to relate with the majority of humanity due to, the state of his mind and his long life. Oddly enough is still religious though.
"Companions the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. Fellow creators the creator seeks--those who write new values on new tablets. Companions the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters; for everything about him is ripe for the harvest."
-- Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra
History: The oldest and most dominant component of this ego was born 115 years ago on earth. He was born to a family of wealthy European land owners that was attempting to forge its own empire subtly inside countries through land acquisitions and bribes. But the child was for some reason drawn to a scientific career and while still made wealthy and loved, he was quickly replaced by siblings who eagerly took the positions of power that could have been his.
He was one of the original lunar colonists, and eventually one of the early members of the Autonomist Alliance.
He left his station when word reached him that seed A.I. had declared war on humanity back on earth. He intended to study them. The fork that was on planet was captured, killed, something... The fork watching from orbit was killed when the station was hit and pulled into orbit. The fork on the moon was reported to have been contaminated in the mesh before self destructing. The fork on mars received the final reports and left for his home back with the Autonomists to merge back with the original, after the TITANs disappeared.
Now to understand his condition, at some point in his past he took part in some ego experiments involving prototypical tech (Designated MCMXXXVIII+V), which afterwards couldn't be undone. His mind is forever stuck in a loop of his ego code and the implanted code merging and fracturing with eachother.
He joined firewall for some very simple reasons, the continued survival of the species (a philanthropic goal in his opinion), access to hidden knowledge, access to artifacts, and more access to the gates. He was asked to join because he proved himself valuable after stumbling onto an active operation.
The majority of his time outside of firewall work is spent working on his morphs, researching various subjects, studying artifacts, painting, and tending his garden and apiary.

History (Other Components): The First A.G.I. was created for the purpose of studying what could be considered a "pure AI" something separated from humanity, something essentially alien, take that for what you will (slowly humanized). The Second A.G.I. was created, as well an A.G.I. it was born free and humanized, joined the Autonomists out of anarchistic ideals, and eventually took part in some voluntary experiments. The muses belonged to the top three components and were tuned to their individualities. The A.I. were created for various different purposes and were simply part of the experiment, they were absorbed by the other minds completely. These components have formed a hive mind in an almost melting pot way.
Personality (Other Components): As stated above they have formed a hive mind, where each part is tied carefully to eachother. It maintains a distinct personality from the primary, and has taken a position akin to an intelligent muse. However there are times where it forces its own voice through whichever morph is being used at the time. It would generally give the impression that it was female if spoken directly to.
(Not very good I know, but I try)

(Not very good I know, but I try)
Mental Illnesses: Paranoia, Manic Episodes, Slight Multiple Personality Disorder (Merging has caused the Non-Primary minds to form a sort of hive mind that speaks to the primary mind and sometimes through the morph), General Anxiety Disorder (only really active when dealing with TITAN technology), Slight Schizophrenia [Visual Hallucinations Only (He sometimes sees component parts of his ego walking around as holograms)], Phobia (The Jovian Republic), Phobia (Ego Prisons), Phobia (The Exsurgent Virus).
The phobia of The Jovian Republic is more like a paranoid hatred of them than an actual phobia.
Goals (From the list): Alien Contact, Immortality, Martian Liberation, Lunar Liberation, Morphological Freedom, Nano-Ecology, Open Source, Personal Development, Philanthropy, Reclaiming Earth, Research, AI/Infomorph Rights, Techno-Progressivism.
Goals (Long Term): To understand the TITANs and their tech. Devise a way to use TITAN, alien, and contaminated tech safely. To ascend to something akin to a Seed A.I. Retake Earth... Profit

Other: Six of each of the morph sets are kept prepared in reserve. There's a few dozen or so alpha forks operating at any one time that are not in direct contact with this Ego, they maintain their own personal supplies of morphs.
This ego owns a secure facility on Eris, Neptune, and Pluto that each hold an updated copy of all of his research, an updated backup of his ego, four backup morphs (two of each, kept updated), a Complete Sol Archive, Cornucopia Machines, lab spaces, workshops, storage, an apiary/greenhouse (LSD honey producing bees), etc. These sites are each guarded/managed by an alpha fork, that lives there and researches while it waits for a new backup to merge with, they are furnished for living anyway. Once again any fork not in direct contact maintain their own facilities (safe to say, less than the main).
However, he mainly operates from small stations spread out in the Kuiper belt, as he considers the facilities to be reserved for unforeseen circumstances and passive research, as well as a form of retirement.
He only updates his ego manually and each copy is checked thoroughly before being inputted, the same goes for any other data transmitted. He does this for the same reason he has a deadswitch built into his morphs.

As always: feedback, constructive criticism, etc. is welcome.
Edit 1: Pulled down because I became disappointed with it in the morning.
Edit 3: Edited and essentially done, though expect me to tinker with it until the game starts.
Edit 4: Realized this was going to be about an exoplanet, added some gear, edited some things, corrected a few errors, named the mech, etc.
Edit 5: Done
Here it is:
Tell me if I need to edit or change things. As always, I welcome any suggestions or criticisms
MAJOR EDIT: Whoops forgot the personality section
Name and Alias: The Replicator(formerly known as Hugo Theopollus)
Age: Hugo's ego is 55 while the Replicator is just 10 years old.
Gender: Addresses himself as male
Species: Human
Appearance: A custom-built synthetic morph. Humanoid in its outline with five fingers, toes and all but that's where it stops. It's skin is made of dull colored hexagons that carries the ability to fluctuate color, surface, etc save for his shoulders, part of his midsection, and fingers. His head is a sleek metal and instead of bulging sensory orifices, they are all internal and hidden behind the glass-like material. Taking designs from a Ghost and a Skulker, Hugo combined the two for his own tailor-made synthetic morph.
Affiliation: Has connections and leans mostly to the Autonomist Alliance. Also has various connections in the criminal underground.
Personality: Free-spirited and quick witted, The Replicator(or Hugo) keeps his cards close to his chest and is weary of giving out certain pieces of information. His anarchist life-style kept him a firm believer in the philosophy of Existentialism so is quite proud of it. Hugo almost throws caution to the wind because he knows that everyone needs to die eventually even with the ludicrous advances science where anyone can continue living but he considers living too long to be bad for one's mental state so he accepts death rather than fears it. Hugo's patience is limited so he tests his lifestyle being doing things differently every time he approaches the same thing. It doesn't matter to him because whether he likes it or not, he is going to die. He considers any form of worship or religion to be faulty in its direction but isn't overtly critical of it. He lets other voice their opinion and has a respectable personality just don't expect him to live for so long.
Goals: 1. Elude whoever is trying to kill him
2. Find out who it is
3. Get paid
Notable Skills: The Replicator skills include killing, hacking, infiltration, spying, and killing. Since he isn't constrained by bulky armor or carrying multiple weapons, The Replicator is fast and agile. He isn't especially protected but he really doesn't need to be with his speed and reflexes. With Hugo, behind the reins he knows the ins and outs of any sort of situation that deserves a scalpel. Not only that but Hugo is versed in mechanics and robotic science.

Back-story: Hugo was born into the Autonomist Alliance on Eris to a pair of techno-progressive, militaristic, parents on the run from the Jovians. Luckily, none of they didn't resort to turning on their experiments to their children. Hugo was the middle child with Lucius being the eldest brother, and Astrid being the youngest sister that the both of them cared for dearly. Growing up, Hugo had taken an interest in the glorious but short-lived combat against the TITANS. He was entranced by the heroic efforts humanity put up to try and defeat the menace although the real story was far from pretty. His parents filled their head with the rhetoric that would make a fascist blush so it didn't surprise Lucius or Hugo that their parents were indeed part of the anarchist terrorist group that was responsible for numerous attacks on the enemies of the Alliance. As soon as his parent's deemed Lucius "ready", they uploaded his mind into a synthetic morph to fight off the hypercorp's merc army.
Lucius was sent off and trained to fight using whatever means possible. This ranged from traditional swordplay, shooting, explosives training to hacking, improvising bombs, and other unconventional tactics. Meanwhile on the home front, Hugo was trained in mechanics, engineering, and work in the Mesh which lead up to the schematics for The Replicator. After some time, Lucius returned home carrying memories of the "good fight" and his ego was transferred back into his human body. It was apparent that carried some sort of PTSD from his experiences of which he told to Hugo, fearing that their parents would see him useless. Lucius didn't seem to tell anyone of what he saw which remained a secret to this day. This discouraged Hugo from going into open combat like Lucius and looking elsewhere he saw the effectiveness in being a spy or assassin. Where armies duel, these clandestine agents could turn tides without firing a single bullet. But his parents wanted him to be a soldier just like Lucius.
With that in mind, Hugo went down a very different path than Lucius starting with running away from home. His travels brought him to a pirate-ruled station loosely connected with the automatists but was still a home to their anarchists. Hugo worked as a thief at first, working his way from the bottom of the food chain. He mostly stole from rival pirate gangs and sold certain pieces of technology or information to the black market. Gradually, he continued in building his synthetic morph. Eventually, Hugo no longer became content with stealing technology and became interested in stealing of another kind. To prepare, he augmented himself in several different ways and trained in the fine art of assassination using the Mesh as a kind of training guide. Hidden blades and gadgets were transplanted into his arms, an internal HUD was installed into his mind, and his legs along with his spine were replaced for their more agile, synthetic counter-parts. He had no problem with the alterations as he saw it as training for being completely synthetic once his suit was complete.
At 45, Hugo had reached the apex of his career. Not only had he made a name of himself as one of the remaining assassins to still be under 60% organic but he completed his project. The Replicator was finished but before he could transfer his ego another assassin made an attempt on his life. He moved himself prior to Charon in order to be closer to where the action was. While on a job, Hugo was attacked by a drone bearing a mark of a fairly new assassin. Hugo was injured and returned to his safehouse where he housed The Replicator. Without treating his wounds, he transferred his ego into the morph. It took him some time to get everything together, and get used to his new body. As soon as he had everything he needed, he left his home and not a moment sooner as the same drone attacked his safehouse, and destroying his human body.
Eventually, Hugo was assumed dead but the Replicator wasn't. Hugo took up the name and got a second chance in living. One of the first things he did was go right back into the hitman business. Using the skills he already knew, Hugo reinvented himself by not only just doing assassination contracts but also saboteur work, infiltration, and good old fashion information gathering. Hugo was even better since he wasn't constrained by his human functions anymore. He also branched out, and offered his services to the Automatist Alliance. Eventually he was approached by one agency called "Firewall" about his interesting skill set.
Lucius was sent off and trained to fight using whatever means possible. This ranged from traditional swordplay, shooting, explosives training to hacking, improvising bombs, and other unconventional tactics. Meanwhile on the home front, Hugo was trained in mechanics, engineering, and work in the Mesh which lead up to the schematics for The Replicator. After some time, Lucius returned home carrying memories of the "good fight" and his ego was transferred back into his human body. It was apparent that carried some sort of PTSD from his experiences of which he told to Hugo, fearing that their parents would see him useless. Lucius didn't seem to tell anyone of what he saw which remained a secret to this day. This discouraged Hugo from going into open combat like Lucius and looking elsewhere he saw the effectiveness in being a spy or assassin. Where armies duel, these clandestine agents could turn tides without firing a single bullet. But his parents wanted him to be a soldier just like Lucius.
With that in mind, Hugo went down a very different path than Lucius starting with running away from home. His travels brought him to a pirate-ruled station loosely connected with the automatists but was still a home to their anarchists. Hugo worked as a thief at first, working his way from the bottom of the food chain. He mostly stole from rival pirate gangs and sold certain pieces of technology or information to the black market. Gradually, he continued in building his synthetic morph. Eventually, Hugo no longer became content with stealing technology and became interested in stealing of another kind. To prepare, he augmented himself in several different ways and trained in the fine art of assassination using the Mesh as a kind of training guide. Hidden blades and gadgets were transplanted into his arms, an internal HUD was installed into his mind, and his legs along with his spine were replaced for their more agile, synthetic counter-parts. He had no problem with the alterations as he saw it as training for being completely synthetic once his suit was complete.
At 45, Hugo had reached the apex of his career. Not only had he made a name of himself as one of the remaining assassins to still be under 60% organic but he completed his project. The Replicator was finished but before he could transfer his ego another assassin made an attempt on his life. He moved himself prior to Charon in order to be closer to where the action was. While on a job, Hugo was attacked by a drone bearing a mark of a fairly new assassin. Hugo was injured and returned to his safehouse where he housed The Replicator.

Tell me if I need to edit or change things. As always, I welcome any suggestions or criticisms
MAJOR EDIT: Whoops forgot the personality section
Name and Alias: Demetrius Adelin
Age: 24 (the morph is 22)
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Appearance: a tailor-made slyph that is 1.83m tall. Dark green eyes, short brunette hair, a masculine lower jaw line complemented by an athletic body that leans towards muscular in the upper section are only but a few of the traits of this individual. The body represents the ego's parents's ideal when it comes to physical perfection. Augmentations include: Light bioweave armor, Enhanced Pheromones, Basic Biomods, Basic Mesh Inserts, Clean Metabolism, Cortical Stack, Muscle Augmentation and Enhanced Pheromones.
Affiliation: Demetrius is affiliated with the Planetary Consortium due to his parents. He has numerous connections and friends among the hyperelite and the socialite faction.
Personality: Although not suffering from mood swings or multiple personalities, Demetrius seems to have a highly diverse personality. At times he can be highly mature (offering solid, stoic advice or opinions on the matter at hand) while at others he can be extremely childish and immature (being ironic, intentionally using some of the most awful puns or just simply making very infantile jokes are no newground for Adelin). At times he falls into a sad, melancholic, depressive state when he thinks about the past.
Goals: His purpose is to find true purpose and meaning in his life and ultimately (his strongest desire) regain the love of his life, Gabriela (will offer explanations in the future)
Notable Skills: As a media icon, Adelin has always considered that being generally knowledgeable is essential to his success (after all, you never know what role might land in an upcoming Mesh-movie). He is an expert boxer with limited knowledge in wrestling. He has knowledge on how to operate any type weapons while being proficient in the use of pistols and snipers. Due to a longtime passion and boyish attraction towards mechanical contraptions, Demetrius is licensed to operate any type of vehicle.
Equipment:
Day to day, he wears a Second Skin paired with Armor Clothing and a railgun light pistol.
On assignments: Second Skin, Light body armor equipped with self healing, densiplast gloves, a railgun heavy pistol and a railgun sniper rifle
Back-story: Born to rich hypercorp parents who eventually became a part of the Planetary Consortium hyperelite, Adelin has had a careless life filled to the brim with every imaginable luxury, the most obvious of which being the "perfect" body his parents bestowed upon him from the raw age of 2. Adelin's father is the owner of Demetrios Industries, a weapon manufacturing corporation dealing in research & development of weaponry, defensive solutions and military-intended vehicle. As it would be normal, growing up, he became an arrogant child but who meant no harm. He strongly valued friendship and as such relied heavily on friends. It's not easy to say how much he was affected when he was betrayed by those who he used to call his best friends. For the naive mind of a school boy, this was a shock. But it was not harm without benefit. For a while, he shrank into himself. This allowed him to evolve an unimaginable understanding about himself, about the world and society. He matured and gained a sense of decency, he lost his arrogance and broadened his view on the world. This would be essential as the TITAN crisis would hit when he was at the early age of 14. Luckily, having a father that deals in defensive and offensive solutions comes with a great benefit: Adelin and his family had the greatest imaginable protection, protection that would allow them to escape the incident unharmed by hiding in a state of the art bunker on Mars. Unfortunately this was not the case for a lot of Adelin's friends and acquaintances as the majority of them perished. This wouldn't really affect Adelin as at that point he had long given up on the notion of friendship and couldn't care less for anyone besides his family. But he knew the high possibility of dying during that incident as well as the massive genocide and suffering it had caused to humanity.
With age, came even more maturity and wisdom yet also came sadness and regret. He never really believed in love, thought it to be useless and weak but yet, he fell for it. He met a girl called Gabriela, she changed everything. Up to that point, he never met a girl before who liked him for who he was rather than his wealth and money. And he blew it... She moved on, while he didn't...Nevertheless, they remained friends and while he doesn't know what she still feels for him, he would still be willing to give up his life for her. Although firm parents, they were liberal as such Adelin was able to follow his long dream of becoming an actor. With a strong passion for what he did, in time also came fame. This has never gone to his head, remaining modest and simple. With money, fame and immortality you'd imagine that one would be happy? Wrong, at least in Adelin's case. He is still melancholic when he think about the time spent with Gabriela and up to this point he feels that his life still has no real purpose.
Adelin was asked to join Firewall after holding a speech at a fundraiser event. He talked emotionally about putting aside differences and overlooking conflicts of opinion to work together towards the greater goal. That nobility and the will to do good is found in everyone. With tears in his eyes, he ended the speech by declaring that he would be willing to sacrifice everything, including his own existence, if it guaranteed the safekeeping of those he loved. Those tears were not fake, you could tell it from the expression of his eyes that he meant it. Such willingness to sacrifice for what's right together with his funds, social connections and combat expertise made him an ideal candidate for Firewall in the eyes of a Proxie. This proxie approached Adelin with the opportunity to join Firewall, an opportunity he accepted.

so yeah x.X this might take awhile
I like it, but I have a few questions. 1) How did he become a part of Firewall? You don't go into it and I need to know how I'm going to draw your character into the story. 2) On a similar vein, I want to know what would make the hyper-elite, born into luxury, person join an organization where you're putting your sanity and immortality at risk on a regular basis? 3) Are there any plot points you want me to try and work into the story? I can't promise anything, but I like to tailor my games to the players and their characters.Bmb said:
Any other thoughts?Asclepion said:
I don't see any problems with the character, but I have a couple questions. 1)Firewall is a bit of an idealistic group. People generally don't join for money/reputation, but out of a need to stop the TITANs or similar threats. This is in part due to the suicidal missions they tend to give. Since few people join a suicide mission for the payout, I wanted to know. Does Hugo have any other motivations beside the payout as an assassin? Note: you don't have to change the character - he can believe himself strong enough to survive such a mission after all - I just want to know how to treat the character. 2) Are there any plot points you want me to try and work into the story to help tailor the game to the character? I can't make any promises that I'll use it/them, but I can try.Mr.Ivebeenframed said:Here it is:
Name and Alias: The Replicator(formerly known as Hugo Theopollus)
Age: Hugo's ego is 55 while the Replicator is just 10 years old.
Gender: Addresses himself as male
Species: Human
Appearance: A custom-built synthetic morph. Humanoid in its outline with five fingers, toes and all but that's where it stops. It's skin is made of dull colored hexagons that carries the ability to fluctuate color, surface, etc save for his shoulders, part of his midsection, and fingers. His head is a sleek metal and instead of bulging sensory orifices, they are all internal and hidden behind the glass-like material. Taking designs from a Ghost and a Skulker, Hugo combined the two for his own tailor-made synthetic morph.
Affiliation: Has connections and leans mostly to the Autonomist Alliance. Also has various connections in the criminal underground.
Personality: Free-spirited and quick witted, The Replicator(or Hugo) keeps his cards close to his chest and is weary of giving out certain pieces of information. His anarchist life-style kept him a firm believer in the philosophy of Existentialism so is quite proud of it. Hugo almost throws caution to the wind because he knows that everyone needs to die eventually even with the ludicrous advances science where anyone can continue living but he considers living too long to be bad for one's mental state so he accepts death rather than fears it. Hugo's patience is limited so he tests his lifestyle being doing things differently every time he approaches the same thing. It doesn't matter to him because whether he likes it or not, he is going to die. He considers any form of worship or religion to be faulty in its direction but isn't overtly critical of it. He lets other voice their opinion and has a respectable personality just don't expect him to live for so long.
Goals: 1. Elude whoever is trying to kill him
2. Find out who it is
3. Get paid
Notable Skills: The Replicator skills include killing, hacking, infiltration, spying, and killing. Since he isn't constrained by bulky armor or carrying multiple weapons, The Replicator is fast and agile. He isn't especially protected but he really doesn't need to be with his speed and reflexes. With Hugo, behind the reins he knows the ins and outs of any sort of situation that deserves a scalpel. Not only that but Hugo is versed in mechanics and robotic science.
Equipment:
Access Jacks
Mesh Inserts
Chameleon Skin
Cortial Stack
Cyber Brain
Radar Invisibility
COT
Weapons:
2x integrated Flex cutters- installed into forearms.
Monowire Garrote
Burst Fire Light Pistol w/Silencer and Smartlink. Normal rounds
Gear:
Light, Left thigh Holster for pistol.
Internal compartment in abdomen allowing for storage of utilitool, and emergency spare parts.
Back-story: Hugo was born into the Autonomist Alliance on Eris to a pair of techno-progressive, militaristic, parents on the run from the Jovians. Luckily, none of they didn't resort to turning on their experiments to their children. Hugo was the middle child with Lucius being the eldest brother, and Astrid being the youngest sister that the both of them cared for dearly. Growing up, Hugo had taken an interest in the glorious but short-lived combat against the TITANS. He was entranced by the heroic efforts humanity put up to try and defeat the menace although the real story was far from pretty. His parents filled their head with the rhetoric that would make a fascist blush so it didn't surprise Lucius or Hugo that their parents were indeed part of the anarchist terrorist group that was responsible for numerous attacks on the enemies of the Alliance. As soon as his parent's deemed Lucius "ready", they uploaded his mind into a synthetic morph to fight off the hypercorp's merc army.
Lucius was sent off and trained to fight using whatever means possible. This ranged from traditional swordplay, shooting, explosives training to hacking, improvising bombs, and other unconventional tactics. Meanwhile on the home front, Hugo was trained in mechanics, engineering, and work in the Mesh which lead up to the schematics for The Replicator. After some time, Lucius returned home carrying memories of the "good fight" and his ego was transferred back into his human body. It was apparent that carried some sort of PTSD from his experiences of which he told to Hugo, fearing that their parents would see him useless.

Anything you'd like to add?Asclepion said:
Go ahead and take your time, but just so you know - when I was talking about "Ghostriding" that meant having more than one Ego in one Morph, not one Ego controlling multiple Morphs like I saw briefly in the character design you had up before. Sorry for the confusion.Anti-American Eagle said:
1. Being a part of the hyper-elite as well as being a media icon, Adelin has high connections in high places. If anything moves at a political level, Adelin knows about it. This as well as the funds found at his disposal make him an invaluable asset to the firewall or so lapetus thought. Reason for which he personally recruited Adelin. (You see, I initially envisioned Adelin more as one of the Proxies. Of course if Adelin can't be a Proxie, then change the recruiter from lapetus to a Proxie)hiei82 said:
2. As said before, despite his fame and wealth, Adelin is not exactly pleased with his current situation. While he is aware that his life would be worse without them, he also knows that they can't offer him happiness. Heartbroken and purposeless, he often falls into a sad, melancholic and depressive state. Afraid of not being able to give his life a purpose, he decided to join the Firewall in the hope that at least he can say he found one by protecting humanity.
3. I would love if you could do something involving Gabriela. Perhaps a situation where she is in danger and her life is at risk. Adelin saves her and they meet face to face since a very long time. He finally pours his soul out in front of her and at the end, when it all seems in vain, she gives him a kiss on the cheek and hints at perhaps reigniting the fling.
