This little rat has been a thorn in my side ever since she became a friend to that bastard child of mine. If I ever have her in my clutches I will gut her...but not before finding out if her DNA holds a few secrets...
Slash' dad, but he is very evil and I hate him.
He is very ugly and dumb.
Ah, my darling employee, and the one to look after me in case I harm myself in my experiments. I admit I was looking for someone with a bit more professionalism but when she sawed off my limbs, had me cleaned, bandaged and upgraded within 6 hours, I knew she was the perfect candidate for the job. She's lived with me for approximately 10 years, as I require round-the-clock care, of course.......damn.
Cheeky bastard who thinks he's the great thing. We met when he almost kills himself trying to chop off his arm and I happened to get him assigned to me. Things escalated, I chopped the rest of his limbs and the rest is history. I think it's been 10 or so years since I moved with him... For professional reasons, of course!

...Damn.
This girl...I don't know what it is about her, but there is something there that makes me think she is an integral part of my plan. Is it the shapeshifting? The nanites? Nanites aren't too uncommon, but this one is far too advanced. When I find out what this girl is and what can be done with her abilities, I have the feeling she'll be very useful to me...
Morgan...by far my third most worthless son. He has no discernible talents besides keeping his other siblings in line, but he has a few wild theories that draw my interest. Theories of demons and spirits and being powered by belief. I don't believe anything I can't see, but if Morgan can produce results, he'll move up in the rankings.
Like Mephistopheles, Hanced's influence extends even to those driven by the most natural curiosities. Full of turns and secrets like a hellish labyrinth. But isn't darkness something we require, just by the nature and duality of being? It's in the finer details, in the smartness of equilibrium, that we can obtain our reward without losing our humanity.
And I, heh... I've always been a master of the dark myself. I might be the Faust of this story, but I shall not follow the script.
Emerald, my daughter...how to describe her? Well, greedy to the extreme would be accurate, although not wholly so. She is a shrewd businesswoman and an avid gambler. Luckily her ability to cheat at poker has kept the loan sharks at bay. She's also fascinated with my position as CEO of Enhanced Securities. But unlike Maggy it's not the power that attracts her, but the money my power brings in...or is it the other way around?
A source of income is a source of income. Hanced's strictness can be stressful, but worth going through for the sake of the reward. If anything, that shows that he doesn't only has skills to pile up a comfortable amount of fortune and divide it properly, but that he knows the social weight and value of money.
As long as he can maintain us, we'll stay by his side.
Kujo and I have an understanding. He knows all the shady details of my past, and I think it helps him think of me not as someone who just came into his life, but a kindred spirit. He's quite the anarchist, in the sense that he loves blowing things up and watching the embers dance...which is something I can definitely respect.
I respect him, he understands us. No need for more details.
Magdelene, or Maggy as she prefers, is one of my six adopted children. She's ruthless, which I can respect. She has a fondness for tactics, specifically war tactics, and I believe she's after my position as CEO of Enhanced Securities. She does her old man proud.
The Boss is so talented I legitimately call him my boss! If that doesn't speak about my opinion of him, I don't know what does.
Besides, there's something to say about men who wear military jackets in casual occasions.
Nano is my son, of course. I find that he's my favorite...when he's awake. He'll gladly help me with whatever design I have in my mind, and he can program it to work within hours. He's truly astounding...he might even be smarter than me...
Hanced... the coolest labcoat I know. I mean, the coolest guy. He knows his stuff alright. He kind of sucks at programming for his level, but he compensates with the hardware. I respect that... Actually, I REALLY respect that. Hope I can stay awake long enough to learn something from him in the next, like... 6 months or something.
Kujo is my...well, I guess technically he's my son, I adopted him didn't I? He seems to have a love of violence, but he's also dangerously perceptive. Now if only his appetite didn't give him such problems...
Hanced's an odd man! Like, really odd. But he's what we have as a parental figure, so we'll roll with it! He's also the owner of the garden that keeps me from starving (well, because I happen to take care of it every day, too), so I gotta be thankful.
Besides, he is married (?) to Ruberta. He could do without stealing her free as often, though, haha... heh...
