shortly after birth, yejide was left in a baby car seat at seattle's fire station 19, accompanied by a letter written on composition paper stating her name and how sorry her birth parents are for leaving her like this, but they simply do not have the means to raise her right now. until proper care can be given, yejide is taken care of by firefighters that dote upon her every second of the day.
she is shortly placed into the foster care system, and though she is nearly adopted several times over the first few years of her life, something always happens that stops the process right in its tracks.
long story short, she is never adopted, simply bounced around from foster house to foster house getting her hopes up only to be miserably crushed. yejide came out of the system with lifelong friends made with her foster siblings.
[ car accident tw ] she was accepted with a full scholarship to MIT, attributed to her incredible capabilities on a computer. she kept in close contact with all of her foster siblings and even attended MIT with one that was a couple years older. unfortunately, they died in a car accident. filled with grief over losing someone she considered family, she dropped out of MIT and bounced around the country, couch surfing.
she continued to teach herself coding and advanced computer engineering in an attempt to keep herself together and occupied. eventually, this formed into becoming a vigilante hacker, attacking businesses and people she thought were engaged in criminal activities or other such activities that went against her own moral compass. curious about mercy, she did hack into mercy's systems and was caught shortly after. yejide was given the option between working for them or serving jail time, and she decided to accept the job.
she has been at mercy for five years now, and does stay in the on base accommodations as she feels that's what's best for her and it gives her a way to interact with everyone in one way or another. absolutely the person you want on your side during any problem, whether that be personal or professional. undying support and loyalty for anyone that shows her a smidge of kindness. surprisingly great at interrogation if only because of her unnerving ability to talk her way into or out of anything, alongside her undeterred charisma, but she honestly hates the interrogation part of her job the most and is likely to trade any interrogation assignments with a coworker for a favor.

rogue clowns ( jesters... ? whatever you wanted to call them ) have a funny way of ruining plans. april fools is nothing short of a coveted holiday for yejide, happening to exceed the previous year every time the first rolls around again. nothing dangerous ! they stick to harmless pranks, things that get a genuine smile out of even some of the most serious agents. cue a dramatic sigh as yejide flops down beside sabine, morning of the first. " this sucks. " rare that anything puts a damper on yejide's mood, but between the ongoing investigations and what happened last night, they find it increasingly difficult to maintain their attitude. " i feel useless. how are you holding up ? " they worry their lower lip between their teeth, lost in thought. " i can't get those images out of my mind. as far as i could tell they weren't augmented.

marcus and evelyn lovelace were part of mercy organization from its inception. evelyn in particular was a young researcher in biomedical who was part of the team that made solaris what it is today. a couple years before project genesis, she gave birth to her second child, guinevere. marcus was more hesitant about mercy and decided that it was best for him to raise her and her older brother, elidyr, in seattle while evelyn continued her work in apex city.
when guinevere turned fourteen, marcus was offered a position as a therapist in apex city, and the family was properly reunited. it wasn't surprising when eli joined mercy as a legacy junior agent a couple years later.
neve practically idolized both her parents and older brother and always assumed she'd follow in their footsteps. she excelled in her studies, driven mostly by an eagerness to make them all proud.
she studied journalism and political science before joining mercy as well. eli wasn't shy about being related to her, going as far as to help her train whenever he had the availability. their mother, however, decided it would be best if she stay out of the way of her children, though she occasionally checked up on them when possible and without raising suspicion of favoritism.
during her time as a junior agent, she forged a close bond with an agent who was in the same joining class as eli. both neve and this agent were driven by a shared sense of idealism and a desire to make a strong difference. when it was possible for them, the agent volunteered for project genesis and underwent the solaris treatment.
unfortunately they underwent a practically catastrophic transformation, emerging a changed person. when they'd previously been quite bright and optimistic, they'd become cold, calculating, and ruthless. they were given incredible powers but to neve on the outside, it seemed that it cost them their humanity.
neve began to distance herself from them out of concern for them as well as herself. still, she was chosen to come on what should have been a relatively easy mission that included their (former?) friend as well as elidyr along with another agent.
what should have been a routine recon mission spiraled out of control when the four agents' cover was blown and they were ambushed. off guard and outnumbered, the team were forced to fight for their lives as they fled. guinevere watched as the fourth agent fell dead, and then as their (former?) friend used elidyr as cover for the two of them to escape the immediate fight and find a way out. neve made the split second decision to detonate a cache of explosives they had discovered earlier, allowing them a distraction to escape the carnage, though the mission had clearly been an absolute failure as valuable intelligence was lost along with two agent lives.
haunted by these events, wallowing in blame, and tormented by the knowledge that she was somehow responsible for the death of her brother and another agent, she knew she should have left right then. however, she figured that if she was already so close to graduating from junior agent status, she may as well see it through and take solaris.
yeah... solaris didn't work for her. they waited weeks and it amounted to absolute zilch.
horrified by everything she experienced and disillusioned by project genesis and mercy as a whole, her decision to leave mercy behind and forge her own path was reinforced. she cut ties quickly and started up an anonymous blog regarding apex city as a whole.
also um at some point her mom went missing???? so she's also using what remains of her connections to figure that out.
a year ago, she was given a job interview at apex news network, and was hired as a reporter. she's determined to uncover what the hell is really going on, though she keeps that very much on the downlow as she doesn't want to seem too conspiracy theorist. for now she does her due diligence as a reporter and ex-mercy agent by utilizing what remains of her connection to mercy to get information that will be useful to the network.

coming soon but $10 to anyone who wants to take up either marcus lovelace or the (former?) friend / current mercy agent. mwah <3
he's choking. hyperbole. regardless, the tie he wears is suffocating, or maybe it's an approaching panic attack. he hasn't had one of those in years, but anything is possible, clearly. ( the video replays behind his eyelids in full 4k resolution, haunted ) he does what he does best. lies. plasters a smile and talks and talks and tries not to be bothered by how unbothered they are supposed to look, tries not to be unnerved by how easily everything rolls off veronica's shoulders. with every passing day, it becomes more clear that she's much better suited for this position than him. unsurprising, but he's shocked anyhow.
maxime is the picture of cordiality, hands clasped in front of him to stop the tremor. " collaboration, " he echoes, grins hollowly. he's grown accustomed to stalemates and concessions in the name of mercy's greater good, accepted that there are some lines that must be crossed and some that can be simply written over. he's exhausted, frustrated, seconds from playing whistleblower. cowardice reins him in.
voice lowers, if only to ensure that anyone listening wouldn't be able to make much out. " and what of the rumor being passed around ? are you planning on staging a cover-up ? releasing a statement ? my intentions are to conduct further research. it will be easier to do so with the department standing together, rather than apart. "

elegance envelops the agent as she moves gracefully, natural poise exudes from her. amongst colleagues from various spheres of her career, veronica glides through the governor's ball with an air of prestige. despite the lingering weight of recent events that hung over her mind, she maintains an outward façade of composure, giving no indication of the turmoil beneath the surface. to all outward appearances, mercy was flourishing more than ever.
"it's good to see you being so cooperative," she purrs to her fellow head agent, her tone smooth, diplomatic. "if we can maintain this level of collaboration, we should be able to resolve the... desiccation error," she pauses briefly to clear her throat, masking any hint of uncertainty.
veronica smooths down a stray lock of hair at the nape of her neck, a subtle gesture of self-assurance. "i've reassured the board of the kronos lead. they'll be off our case soon enough."
" your confidence is ... " he fights for a way to phrase this into a compliment — or at least something that isn't outright discouraging. by no means does he believe any division is better or worse than another ( it's biomedical at the lead without question, but who's keeping count ? ) so he settles on, " ... admirable. it is important to remember that the organization would be defunct without the continued collaboration of all departments and agents from all avenues of life. that includes those field agents you are putting down. "

" i'm just saying, " julia says, with all the confidence of someone who is about to expose everyone in the vicinity to the worst take of all time, " there's nothing a field agent can do that an intel agent can't do better. " says the intel agent with absolutely no in-person subterfuge skills — they can only lie when there's a computer screen between them and whoever they're talking to.
" you're not having fun ? " yejide has always been one to make the best out of any situation, and a party is never one that has concerned them much. they understand how to talk to people, how to pull even the most stringent wallflowers out of their shells, how to make others smile with little more than a smile of their own. they don't need to be a radiant to be radiant. hands reach out as precaution to steady the field agent just in case. " how many of those've you had ? don't think we can leave early, but we can maybe step out for some fresh air together. how's that sound ? "

time at events such as these never moves in a linear line — it's a spiral, a journey inward, not forward. time, always so fascinatingly cruel, the way it either slips or slows, moving of its own accord. cipriana stands in a corner of her own, resembling more a lalique statuette than an actual person; something you could almost look through and not at. at least the dome of her skull feels picked clean, pierced by soporific and nearly obligatory tête-à-têtes. the wine in her glass, redder than most she'd seen before, sloshes around, threatening to spill over the rim. thus she steps back, steadying her hand. '' so, when can we leave? ''
