AGENT DESCARTES
|| Descartes wears a brown hat with a purpleish band and horns on it. Along with that, he has a large amount of hair on his head, which has all gone a lavenderish white after all the years. His face is unshaven and stubbly, and he wears a large pair of angular purpleish glasses, which are often shined over. One of his eyes are red, while the other is a glass eye with a white pupil. He wears a large brown coat with personal and One concern brandings. A belt is also part of the jacket, and can be wrapped around it, yet he instead wears it down to the sides. Under his jacket is a yellow vest and white undershirt. Besides that though, he wears a brown pair of pants, a belt with the One Concern logo, white socks, and boots. Descartes also has prosthetics, which replace his right arm and leg. Finally, he has bandages wrapped around his chest, in an attempt to treat a wound. ||
|| Descartes is an old and tired individual who is currently on the run from the One Concern, the organization he once belonged to. However, after hundreds of years of being alive and an outlaw, Descartes memory has begun to fade. With his declining memory, Descartes has begun to document everything. And I mean everything. These things has shaped who he is today. ||
|| Descartes is definitely a loner, enjoying spending his time working on several different projects, and travelling around. He's usually good at hiding, but is meticulous in being able to keep himself able to escape any situation if it goes bad. He's very blunt and comes off as mean when he doesn't exactly mean to. Descartes usually never takes his hands out of his pockets, and is usually more expressive in his body language rather than his voice or expressions. He tries to keep himself busy first, alive second. This has led him to be not very preoccupied with making friends, but that won't stop him from being friendly if someone returns the feeling. His main goal however, is to learn as much as he can before he dies, leading him to document anything and everything. ||

|| Maxwell Quill was born in Ferrier Shockwood. Yet sadly, this is most of what he remembers of his early childhood. His memory has been deteriorating for a long time, leading to his earlier memories to get hit first. What little he does remember regards his parents and his schooling. His father was a One Concern doctor, and his mother was a mechanic, leading to Maxwell gaining a wild interest in both fields. While he hoped to one day be a doctor, he had a talent for tinkering, robotics, and building, yet as such hobbies weren't allowed to those not assigned as mechanics, Maxwell kept it a secret. ||
|| Eventually, Maxwell was chosen to be a mechanic. As the years went on, he became content, if still saddened by his job. He still dreamed of being a doctor, and his only chance for change lied in risking his life for it: Entering a Transcender and becoming an agent. The procedure was successful, and Maxwell, Now named Agent Descartes, was assigned to Agent support work. This work was basically doctoral work for newer Agents- Helping with adaptations in their new abilities and augments. As a previous mechanic, his specialties overlapped. One of his patients, an Agent of the same generation as him known as Agent Voltaire, was one of his reoccurring patients. ||
|| Yet as the years and years went on, Descartes memory began to fade. In an attempt to conceal this, the One Concern sent him out on less jobs, instead leaving him to prosthetic design and manufacturing. Descartes found peace through this, in designing and testing, and redesigning, to benefit people, in the same way his doctor skills would. However, Descartes always believed he could help more. Help people who weren't just agents. Help people who needed an extra hand (no pun intended). So Descartes launched a new plan. ||
|| Descartes began to modify the One Concern augments he was making. Instead of running on Ivory, they would be compatible with those who were unable to use Agent technologies. Gathering more people, his effort expanded and grew exponentially. ||
|| While his prosthetics were able to help many, it did not go unnoticed. With One Concern materials disappearing in order to make the prosthetics, and a lack of new prosthetics going towards the One Concern, Descartes was eventually found out. Kept a secret from the public, Descartes was now a wanted criminal among the One Concern. Taking his designs and fleeing, Descartes was forced into hiding. While a difficult adjustment, it wasn't unaided. Agent Voltaire, now having moved up in Agent status, helped Descartes hide from the soldiers looking for him. ||
|| Several years of hiding have since passed. As Descartes memory continued to deteriorate, Descartes was able to set a goal for himself. He wished to learn everything he could about the unexplored and undocumented world. And I mean everything. Keeping a large journal, Descartes would write about everything and anything he knew and discovered. Along with this, Descartes made sure to travel to places where he had heard people needed medical attention, and offered his services. While many were suspicious, Descartes Agent augments made people believe they were in the right hands. ||
|| While he does his best to help, he’s still wanted by many, and authorities and crowds don’t take kindly to him. This has led Descartes to be on the run (most times literally) for the hundreds years he’s been doing this. Now, he dedicates himself to his work, both with medicine, and with learning about the world. ||

|| Descartes and Voltaire have a long connected history. Being one of the people to assist Voltaire in her transition to her augments, as well as being in the same generation of Agent, they are extremely close. Despite Descartes wanted status, Voltaire helps him out in hiding, and allows Descartes access to One Concern materials and supplies. He is extremely appreciative and grateful to have Voltaire as a companion. ||
|| While Twig is of one of the newest generations of Agents, Descartes has gotten to know them quite well. He has taken note of Twig's brilliant mind, even if it is undermined by the silliness they portray. Descartes wishes to be able to assist Twig in their research, and does so when he can, yet worries about possibly getting Twig discovered as a member of the Chemico Contra. He attempts to keep some distance from them due to this. ||
|| After Descartes' long time as a wanted criminal, only one Agent has been assigned to still actively search for him. That Agent is Agent Snap. Despite the importance of her top secret mission, she refuses to turn Descartes in, instead preferring to always seek him out at his hideout and make fun of him. While Descartes does see her as a nuisance, their shared interest in prosthetics is something Descartes is fond of. ||
|| Like many others, Descartes knows little about Agent Pufendorf, despite them being from the same generation of agents. While Descartes is aware of Pufendorf, his memories of him have faded considerably. Descartes has made an effort to possibly meet up with him again, yet his status as a wanted criminal has made it difficult to meet up with an agent who has most of their duties based at One Concern camps. ||
