[h3]Minor Character[/h3] [b]Name:[/b] Captain John Royal [b]Race/Nationality:[/b] American [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Age:[/b] 31 [b]Physical Appearance:[/b] Standing 5’5” Captain Royal bears a stern, intimidating face that’s hardened from years of settling uprisings and rebel feuds on Earth and its orbiting colonies. His pale skin is worn and rough from years of hard fights and long fought battles. Looking into his green eyes you can see a man that’s seen many disturbing things. He has very short buzzed hair and is always clean shaven. He also has a dark scar that runs from just under his right eye down to the base of his neck. [b]Character’s Outfits: [/b]Captain Royal will always be seen in his white captains uniform. Always clean and pressed, Captain Royal appears very authoritative while giving off an aura that compels others to follow his lead. [b]Weapons:[/b] Captain Royal caries one sidearm on his hip with him at all times a, now incredibly old antique, Smith and Wesson tactical revolver made in the year 2075. No ones even sure if it actually functions correctly, but it is an intimidating item for a man of Captain Royal’s stature to carry. [b]Personality: [/b]Captain Royal is a very fair leader. He’s smart, tactical, and very well trained from his many years of experience. Even though he’s been in the service since he was 18 he hasn’t let it make him a bitter, war torn soldier like many before him. He’s a very compassionate and caring individual, always willing to go out of his way to help others in need. He usually dawns a stern face but when he does smile, its a smile that brings warmth to one’s heart. [b]Knowledge and Skill Set: [/b]An extremely well thought out tactician, Captain Royal has many fine tuned skills that make him one of the best commanding officers in the military. [b]Short History:[/b] Born and raised on earth, John has known the military his entire life. Going through military academies since he was a child then entering the service as soon as he was able, he has never looked back. After being sent to deal with numerous rebel uprisings on Earth after the nations united, then being sent to handle various insurrections on many of Earth’s orbiting stations Captain Royal was ready for the end of his military service, he’d had enough bloody battles fighting against rebels. When he was offered the opportunity to command Earth’s first colonization vessel he saw an opportunity for his name to go down in history as something other than the “Extinguisher of Earth’s Rebels.” [b]Job:[/b] He commands/captains The Ark [b]Controllable by:[/b] Me only [h3]Minor Character[/h3] [b]Name:[/b] Fura [b]Race/Nationality:[/b] Computer A.I. [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] Technically 3 years old [b]Physical Appearance:[/b] Fura has a tall, slim figure. Long legs, thin waist line, with an average bust size. She has a very feminine, friendly looking face, and her hair goes down past her shoulders. Fura is just a computer A.I. so she doesn’t have the normal skin colors of a human being, her form is made up of a dark red color ([color=970000]hexcode for reference #970000[/color]) with some computer circuitry texture running along her body that pulsates with a whiter color from time to time. Whenever she is viewed by someone (which is rare because she’s usually only inside Leon’s head) she’s only about 1 foot tall. She is able, if the proper projection system is available, to project herself as large as the projector allows her (i.e. - average human size or larger). [b]Character’s Outfits:[/b] None (She’s not naked, she’s just a hologram) [b]Weapons:[/b] None (She doesn’t require any because she has no physical being) [b]Personality:[/b] Fura can be quick witted, She’s highly intelligent (being an A.I.), fun loving, very sarcastic, and loves to make and play jokes on people, usually Leon. She often talks to Leon when she’s feeling bored or lonely. [b]Knowledge and Skill Set:[/b] Fura is an absolute master at hacking and decoding. She is able to take command of almost any computer that she gets into. She is also a very skilled rangefinder for sniping. She is able to access various comm links, frequencies, and electronic signals. [b]Short History:[/b] Leon programmed Fura into himself when he entered the Enforcers about 2 years ago. Even though she is an A.I. her programing is so extensive that she is actually like a real human being, she thinks for her, has her own opinions and beliefs, and is able to speak freely. There are very few restrictions that Leon has over Fura. The only few restrictions are that he decides if she is able to leave his body (to hack, project herself, or talk to others via some sort of computer/communication device) and he has the ability to put her into a “Standby” mode, in this mode she is still active but can’t bother Leon or project herself on his HUD. [b]Job:[/b] Fura is Leon’s personal A.I. She assists him with data seeking, hacking of any kind, locating enemies, and range finding when he’s sniping. Jessica and Leon often chat with each other about whatever is on their minds at the time. [b]Other Information:[/b] If you’re having trouble thinking of what Fura is, think Cortana from Halo. She’s inside Leon’s head and he’s the only one that can see and hear her 90% of the time. ((This may be a bit confusing, but whenever Fura speaks [color=970000]"in this color"[/color] and can only be heard by Leon because she's in his head. When she speaks "in normal font color" she can be heard by others.)) [b]Controllable by:[/b] Me but can be interacted with by others, sometimes [h3]Main Character[/h3] [b]Name:[/b] Leon Wilkinson [b]Race/Nationality:[/b] Born on Earth’s Moon colony of Striker 9 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Age:[/b] 25 years old [b]Physical Appearance:[/b] Leon stands 6’1” tall and has short hair that is only about an inch long. His hair is black with flecks of gray in it (think of dirty blonde hair except with black and gray), he usually has a bit of five o'clock shadow, which is all black hair. Leon’s face usually bears a serious/thinking face, he always looks like something’s on his mind. Due to a rare birth defect, Leon has one dark crimson red eye and one sea blue colored eye, his vision is 20x8 (the best a human can have). Leon has a tall, slightly lanky, figure, however he does have a good bit of muscles that are well defined, he’s quite strong despite his appearance. Leon’s entire left arm is covered in a large tribal style sleeve tattoo, the tattoo runs up his entire arm and slightly up his neck. Leon has a number of ports on his body (the top, back of his neck, one on each shoulder and each wrist, one on his lower back, and one on the outside of both knees) that allow the connection of his armor to his nervous system and physical being. He can use these ports to connect to computers for Fura or him to interface, hack, or perform various other tasks. These ports are also used by his armor for the transfer of environmental data, vital sign readings, and other information. Favorite Color: Red [b]Normal Outfit:[/b] Leon usually wears a loose fitting, off black t-shirt, red digital camo cargo pants, with four pockets on each leg, a black skull cap on his head, and black steel toe military combat boots. Holding up his pants is a black, leather belt that also holds his sheathed 8” petrium steel bayonet (Leon always has his combat knife on his person). Around his neck are his New Earth Conglomerate military dog tags, his Ghost Squadron dog tags, and his hog’s tooth (a bullet that symbolizes his graduation from the Ghost Squadron Sniping Academy). [b]Armor/Work Attire:[/b] LW-13 Mark 7 Special Assault Armor (D.S.A.) - The DSA can be qualified as medium armor. Since Leon is either in the front lines fighting or very far away sniping, the armor has no special stealth augmentations whatsoever. The DSA is optimized for a very good amount of defense while still maintaining maximum maneuverability. The DSA is suited for Leon’s role as a Ghost Squadron sniper. Most of the actual armor protection is on his left arm and shoulder, since he’s a right handed shooter his left arm is in front of his body when sniping. The shoulder, upper arm, and forearm pieces of armor are very thick, about 2”, and are majorly made of singular parts, being separated at the shoulder and elbow for maneuverability. The armor piece on his right shoulder is slightly thinner than the one on his left and has a notch cut out of it to allow him to rest his rifle stock against his shoulder when firing. His right upper arm is covered in a steel/petrium steel mesh that’s very flexible and strong while his right forearm is covered in an armor piece similar to the one on his left, the only differences being that this one is about half the thickness, about 1”, extends out over his hand a few inches, and has a sharp edge that runs along the length of it. This piece can be used as a melee weapon and to block melee attacks if the need arose. The entire torso section, front and back, is covered by inter-weaved hexagonal armor plates, made of petrium steel, that are very good at absorbing damage and deflecting bullets while still allowing for maximum maneuverability. On the back of the armor is a special magnet that “grabs” Leon’s rifle as he swings it onto his back and “releases” it when he wants to use it. His upper and lower legs are covered in angled armor pieces that help deflect incoming projectiles, with the knee armor pieces being slightly thicker than the leg pieces. On his right leg is a concealed housing for Leon’s sidearm. The boots he wears are part of the system of armor that protect his legs, they absorb impact superbly, allowing Leon to fall great distances (not like hundreds of feet, like 2 or 3 stories maximum) and land without sustaining damage of any kind. Leon only needs think about it and the his helmet extends to cover his head. The helmet extends up the back up of his head and once fully extended (about the top center of his head) it starts to expand around his head, fully encompassing his head. The angles of the helmet’s armor are steep causing bullets to ricochet off and making it difficult to penetrate the helmet. The helmet expands very quickly and is capable of underwater breathing, filtering out toxic gases in the environment, and allowing for breathing in space or similar 0% oxygen environments. The helmet is equipped with night vision and thermal imaging optics. The DSA is outfitted with millions of sensors that monitor temperature, damage, state, vital signs, and other crucial information, the armor connects to Leon’s mind and nervous system through the various ports on his body allowing him to see all the information the armor collects on his HUD. Every part of the armor is made of an incredibly rare and expensive alloy called Petrium Steel. Petrium Steel is very durable and extremely lightweight. The DSA is jet black in color, there is a crimson red stripe running from the top of his left shoulder down to this wrist. The helmet is also jet black and the visor glows red and forms a very slight V. The big downfall of Leon’s armor is that since it is meant for more maneuverability there are many areas of Leon’s body that are vulnerable to harm. [b]Weapons:[/b] LW-13 Combat Bayonet Leon’s bayonet isn’t anything too fancy. Its merely a razor sharp, 8 inch combat knife made from pure Petrium steel. Leon carries this on his person at all times. LW-26 Combat Machine Pistol - CMP This is Leon’s secondary battle weapon. Firing a low caliber bullet this CMP is highly accurate, has very little recoil, and does less damage, per bullet, than other guns in its class. The rounds the CMP fires are meant to deliver a high impact force while creating little penetrating force, the rounds hit their targets and instantly discharge the majority of their momentum to deliver a significant amount of stopping power/force. LW-39 Elite Ops Gauss Rifle - EGR Leon’s EGR is a piece of mechanical art. It is a high powered gauss rifle built around a standard battle rifle frame. The EGR is a bullpup style rifle, this means that the magazine and action are located behind the trigger allowing the EGR’s overall length to be shorter than that of other sniper rifles. This is where the EGR begins to show its uniqueness and brilliance, the EGR is actually a sniper rifle AND a battle rifle. It can be switched between either rifle, depending on which magazine is inserted into it. Leon has ten special, custom made magazines for firing in Gauss Rifle (sniper rifle) mode. The magazines have one high caliber round and one super charged battery in them. The battery charges the magnetic coils in the barrel that accelerate and pull the high caliber round forward, the round is accelerated so quickly and with such force that the entire charge from the battery is exhausted after that one round is fired. Leon can also put in a convential battle rifle magazine to use the rifle as a battle rifle. When in battle rifle mode, the EGR can fire in either bursts of three or semi-auto. In battle rifle mode the EGR fires a round about the size of a .300 Win Mag round. Leon carries six, 36 round magazines for battlerifle mode, and four magazines for Gauss rifle mode. The EGR is about four feet long, from the back of the stock to the end of hte barrel. T he entire gun is coated in an anodized, matte black paint. The scope on the rifle is unique as well, looking through it with a normal eye it would only magnify one’s view by about 6x but when the sight it coupled with Leon’s cybernetic eye it can magnify up to 40x the normal magnification. On the front of the gun is mounted a green laser pointer and a tactical flashlight. The laser pointer can be used as a target designator for various operational needs such as painting targets for drop ships from orbiting ships. [b]Personality:[/b] Leon is a very easy going person that doesn’t like to follow rules, however he takes his role as a Ghost Squadron Sniper very seriously, he has a record of performing superiorly on his missions. Leon dislikes being tied down by rules and guidelines and has harbored ill feelings towards many of the authority figures that rule over him. He doesn't like to be pushed around and tends to be a bit cocky at times. Leon has always been a loner. He would usually never talk to people or engage in social activities unless he was forced to do so. Since Fura’s programing is so advanced she is basically the perfect computerized rendition of a human being, she alone has helped Leon be more social. There is a downside to this however, because Fura is a rendition of a female, Leon has become more accustomed to talking to females and therefore can talk to them fairly easily, when he talks to males he is often somewhat hostile, standoffish, and gets frustrated very easily. [b]Knowledge and Skill Set:[/b] Leon is an expert sharpshooter. He rarely misses when he’s firing with his rifle. Leon is fairly good at hand to hand combat and is quite quick on his feet. Having programed Fura into himself, Leon is quite skilled with computers, anything he can’t do with a computer, Fura usually can. [b]Short History:[/b] Leon was born on Earth’s moon colony Striker 9 into a military family. Once he became of age he joined the New Earth Conglomerate special forces battalion. He flew through the ranks and was asked to join one of the most prestigious divisions in the military, the Ghost Squadron. Leon realized that in order to excel as part of the Ghost Squadron he would need to change some things about himself. Now having access to higher tech and finances Leon made some drastic changes to himself, he cybernetically augmented himself. He got his right eye (the sea blue one) changed into an entirely cybernetic eye allowing him to have a Heads Up Display that shows Fura and any other information he requires, see greater distances, and see better in the dark (not as good as full blown night vision, but better than nothing at all); he also augmented parts of his brain with cybernetic parts allowing him to permanently store information as well as connect to wireless comm and data signals. He also got all the ports implanted into his body that lets him interface with his armor and other computers. After getting this procedure done he attempted to solve his “loner” problem by programing Fura into himself, storing her within his own, newly augmented, mind. With these new enhancements, Leon was able to rise up the ranks of the Ghost Squadron receiving permission to go on solo mission and becoming known as one of the best snipers in their history. Leon has gone from colony to colony, station to station his whole life, never before touching down on Earth or seeing any true lush green tera. When he was first asked to come aboard The Ark he refused due to his uneasiness with space travel, but when he was asked to be one of Captain Royal's guardsman he couldn't refuse. Trying to put a positive spin on the long journey in space, he began thinking of how exciting it will be to be among the first group of people on this new planet. Leon now looks to this journey with a bit of reserved excitement. [b]Job:[/b] Ghost Squadron Elite Sniper and one of Captain Royal's personal guardsman aboard The Ark [b]Other:[/b] Leon can often be seen and heard talking to himself. Sometimes he's just talking to himself and sometimes he's talking to Fura. This has lead some to think Leon is a bit crazy when in reality he's not at all. Leon was never fond of flying on spaceships. He's fine being on a plane, but as soon as you take that plane out of a planet's atmosphere Leon becomes... nervous. The slightest noise or issue can lead his mind to think of the worst possible thing happening. Fura helps calm Leon's mind, when she's not poking and making fun of him for his fear, but it's not always enough. He's learned to quell his fear of space travel, for the most part.
