Mind if I join in the fun? *grins*
Name: Jason "Darkpelt" Blackburn
Species: Wolffox (Dominant gene is wolf @ 90%)
Age: 21
Description: 5 feet 9 inches. Totally black fur. Eyes are dark blue. Looks like a wolf, except for the very fluffy tail. No other apparent signs.
Profession: Recon/infiltration/general dirty work dispatcher (merc)
Weapons: Claws, MP-25A5SD Energy Depleting sub-machinegunw/ 40x auto-calibrating digital scope (modified for ARAPS), Mk23 SOCOM (with optional silencer, modified for ARAPS)
Equipment: ARAPS (Advanced Regenerative Adaptive Protection System) w/ advanced recording system (embedded in helmet) & Tactical HUD helmet, thigh holster, 4 MP-25A5 mags (+1 in rifle) (60 shots each), 2 MK23 mags (+1 in pistol) (12 rounds each), 2 flashbangs, 2 frag grenades
Training: H2H combat, close-quarter gunfights, assault weapons, bomb placement, sabotage, interrogation
Specialities: Information retreival, "personnel asset neutralization" (AKA: assassination), pistol combat, infiltration, electronic surveilance, reckless driving, cooking
Enhancements: "FENRIS"-class chip embedded at the base of the skull. Allows the user to shift into a nearly all-energy being, unseeable unless using IR detectors (ultra-sensible only), which also increase the speed and strenght by 300% during the shift. The drawback of this technique is the extreme toll on the user, causing migraines and, after a too long sustained shift period, coma and possibly death. Also, any EMP pulse will automatically restart the chip, sending an incredible amount of pain in the user's brain, making him shift out and keeping the user from "shifting" for at least 5 minutes, depending on how fit the user is. Might also cause disorientation and dizziness.
Background:
"Darkpelt" is the last member of a military family. His father was a soldier, the father of his father was a soldier, and it just keeps going. Very young, he was trained in the fine skills of shooting pistols and later, bigger and bigger guns.
When he was old enough at 16, he enrolled in the military, where he was quickly selected for the "FENRIS" program. He was one of the few survivors of the program, most of the other "volunteers" having died at some point during the tests. Out of the 17 initially selected, only 4 survived. This labeled the project as a failure, and was put on ice. The 4 who had survived were selected for the new program the military ensued, which was to test the new ARAPS protection garment. The ARAPS is basically a honeymoon-weaven reactive plate armor, in which thermal dissipating material was added against possible energy weapons that could be encountered by other armies.
The ARAPS system has an impressive array of features. The first one is that the material in which it's made can react with a special goo, which is incorporated in a very thin layer under the armor, and regenerate itself, up to 98% of the original efficiency. Also, the external coating is in fact, both cameras and projectors, making the suit a nearly-perfect cloaking device. The major drawback is that any damage to the armor destroys those cameras, and therefore the cloaking capabilities are extremely reduced. Also, the drain on the battery is extreme, and cannot be held for more than 25 minutes. Also, the adaptive system allows the wearer to be in a airless environment for up to 30 minutes, thanks to the backpack-included air bottles.
The helmet is another work of art, incoporating a small on-plate HUD, allowing the wearer to instantly get the local time, mission time, bearing and display various weapon information, such as temperature and ammo count (with compatible and modified weapons).
Once the program was complete, the armor was put in production. The prototypes were supposed to be destroyed, but they all disappeared. What was unknown to the authorities is that all 4 suits had been stolen by the users, who stored them in a very safe place.
When it was latter found that the "4 chipped", as they were called, stole the armors, they were court-martialled and expelled from the army. For Jason, that was a year ago.
Since then, Jason has been making a rather stiff amount of money, and has more than enough means to keep the armor repaired and in prisitne shape, even after several field uses.
