[color=salmon]"As I say, if it's hostile, you kill it. Unfortunately, all those that are hostile to me have good reason, and kill me as often as possible. A shame I am immortal, no?"[/color]

*Current Name:
[color=burlywood]"I am currently Victor Smirnov."[/color]

*Alias:
[color=burlywood]"I answer to "Zmeis," when in field and combat. A Zmeis is a Russian dragon, actually. I think it fits quite well."[/color]

Gender:
[color=burlywood]"I believe I am male, if I remember correctly. Yup, I got the entire package."[/color]

Height:
[color=burlywood]"I would say I am handsome six foot when I became an immortal, and still am."[/color]

*Weight:
[color=burlywood]"A girl might have slapped you, eh? I weigh in at a hundred and twenty kilograms."[/color]

*Hair Color:
[color=burlywood]"An absolute dashing light brown. Any lighter, and it may start being blonde, really."[/color]

*Eye Color:
[color=burlywood]"Some have called them fiery pits of hell. I think they're just a gorgeous dark brown, to be honest."[/color]

Skin Color:
[color=burlywood]"All-ruling caucasian, of course. Have you noticed that there are more white influential leaders, politicians, and CEOs than there have been in a thousand years? It looks like the blacks are becoming less prominent."[/color]

*Physical Build:
[color=burlywood]"Muscled. Take off baggy or thick clothes, and you'll see. I'm not thick and massive, I'm not lean and lithe. I am muscled, and I am not thin or large."[/color]

*Tattoos:
[color=burlywood]"All my tattoos are burned into my soul."[/color]

*Scars:
[color=burlywood]"I have managed thus far to remain in one piece since I was born. Unlike almost all immortals, I am still the original man I was when I first was born. I have yet to die, and I have yet to lose a limb, eye, nose, finger, toe, leg, hand, or foot. I'm much too pretty to die, anyhow. But all this comes at a cost- my throat is well-scarred, from many a knife pressing a tad too enthusiastically, and I do have quite a few gunshot wounds that still have left a mark. One of my kidneys have been removed, due to a bullet rupturing it, and I have a thick scar on my right hip, where a man once tried to stab my belly with a sword, and only slightly missed. I have multiple others, such as a very well-scarred set of shoulders, from trekking in the woods and having a very hungry wolf jumping on me, and I've got quite an unusual scar on my forehead. Of all my scars, it's the most unique- I ran into a doorknob when I was but a boy, and it was so sharp, and I was running so fast, that it sent me flying back. Nearly split my head open, as it was. Either way, this little five-stared mark is just that doorknob's impression on me."[/color]

*Other:
[color=burlywood]"You were quite thorough, thank you."[/color][/hider][hider=Psychological Profile]
Positive Qualities:
[color=burlywood]"I have lost many a friend to the horrors of war, and I intend not to lose anymore. Although, it is nice being immortal, because that means I won't permanently lose myself in the process, or lose someone else. Unless one of my mortal friends is found out, of course... Anyways, I suppose that'd fit under loyal, no? In addition, I am a cautious, thoughtful man, who likes a good plan of action before anything is done. Improvisation is something I do well with, as well. No battle plan survives an engagement with the enemy, I say. I will take care of what needs to be taken care of. But personally, me? I think I'm quite a kind man. Friendly, too. No insult can pierce my aged hide, and I'd like to think that I stay cool under fire. As long as I know where the fire is coming from, and what kind it is."[/color]

Negative Qualities:
[color=burlywood]"According to my psychologist, I'm batshit crazy. However, I think I disagree, because he is a very short-sighted and narrow-minded man. Why can't people just accept that I've lived for thousands of years? It's not theoretically impossible, is it? Ha-ha-ha!, get it? It kind of is... now, I suppose I'm also a little too careful sometimes. I might much prefer retreating or waiting, when action is required. And once I get started, I won't stop until the job's done, or if I think a retreat or an abort is the most efficient course. Efficiency, logic, reason, calculation. Human emotions get in the way of such things, and I will not let them do so with me. While my primary goal is to rescue my immortal brothers and sisters- but if they get our own killed or captured in the process, then it does not matter. This is a negative quality, because I will not do everything in my power. I will do everything I think I need to, and no more, or no less. And when chaos ensues, and I do not know how to counter it, I will lose all reason, and do whatever my gut says, because in chaos, there is only time for instinct, and no time for thought. I would think I am also very up-front. I don't sugarcoat things, and sometimes that makes people angry. And, telling people what to do is something I can do. Working with other people and discussing something- not quite so much."

Is also slightly [playfully] racist, and firm believer in his own excellence.[/color]

*Likes:
[color=burlywood]"Nothing pleases me more about anything than if I [i]know[/i] whatever it is that I wish to, and that everything is in balance. We were assigned by Sempra-Tor to keep the humans in balance, keep them on Earth, and we have done so for thousands of years. That success is something I like. Speaking of which- success and victory, a good strong drink, love the cold, absolutely love it, and I very much enjoy having people that do what they were told. Heavens, there were a great deal of soldiers back the second World War that deserted. And I love animals. I even have a kitty! A shame even the longest-lived turtle dies so quickly, though." He also really likes himself.[/color]

*Dislikes:
[color=burlywood]"People who don't think. People are what people are, and arguing against it is futile, unless you wish to change, and do so. I also really hate people who just jump into action, without a thought to what to do. And I hate being tricked, lied to, circumvented, et cetera. Oh, and I hate politicians. They're always in my way, always screaming for help while throwing a dozen PMCs after me."[/color]

*Other:
[color=burlywood]"You were thorough, Virgil."[/color][/hider][hider=Requisition]
*Weapons:
[color=burlywood]"I primarily use a Zeus GRT1A1, the first iteration of the fully-functioning gauss rifle. The original used far too much power- a dozen shots would use enough fuel cells' worth of energy to power a tank for a year. However, it is also the most powerful, because of the power requirements. By integrating a bit of magic into the process through a process that I figured out in about a decade of study and experiments, I can supercharge a round, and use the rifle to both fire the round, and charge the round with energy. So instead of a very high-velocity round, it's like a super high velocity thermobaric rocket the size of a .243 round with the accuracy of a modern precision rifle, hooked up to an aimassist. It also leaves some really cool-looking green residue floating through the air. 

For less destructive uses, I use a AR60A5, a battle rifle that uses 3-round bursts, an underslung shotgun, and a plasma shield attached to the front. SMART rounds, SMART airbursts, AP ammunition, and incendiary included. In close combat, I use either the underslung shotgun, my good trusty handgun, or some of my relatively limited, but nonetheless creative, magical abilities." 

He specializes in neural, light, and technopathy, and kinetic redirection.[/color]

*Armor:
[color=burlywood]Zmeis relies on distance, stealth, and speed for protection. He wears a light infiltration combat suit that allows him to remain invisible, have a full range of movement, and when invisibility is out of the option, a powerful regenerative shield, which can take two or three powerful hits before it falls, and takes about ten seconds to come back up again. His suit is generally armed with jump jets, a light exoskeleton to give him slightly enhanced jump and climbing capability, a grappling hook, and a stungun. His last line of defense with his protection, outside of his actual armor, is his kinetic redirection ability. Simply put- bullets and such bounce off of him. High velocity kinetic weapons are harder to bounce back than, say, a burst of plasma or a rocket.[/color]

*Transportation:
[color=burlywood]He relies on himself to move shorter distances; when something more long-range is required, he has a variety of contacts in not-so-legal organizations that will provide him with what he needs. In the Illuminati HQ, however, he has a VTOL-capable Shrike atmospheric multipurpose strike fighter. Several hoverbikes [modified, of course] have also found their way into his storage. He has only one heavy vehicle, which is a light hover tank, armed with two thirty 20mm missile launch boxes, able to reload from an automated reloader. Think of C&C's Hover MLRS, just a little wider and such. He also occasionally uses his portals and kinetic redirection to move [i]very[/i] fast. He can run at a wall and jump, bouncing off and up that wall, to hit a wall opposite, and bounce up and away to bounce again, before losing speed and falling straight down- which he'll use a portal to throw him however high he needs. Alternative, he just thinks up a portal to run through walls and such.[/color]

*Devices & Tools:
[color=burlywood]He has a surplus of command & control, recon, spec-ops, and infiltration tools and devices. He has things like independent grappling hooks, tiny cameras and audio recorders, field-launched drones, hacking modules, AI cores, information holodrives, et cetera. He also, like transportation, has contacts with not-so-legal organizations. [/color]

*Supplies:
[color=burlywood]Again, contacts with not-so-legal organizations, as well as a variety of drone-drop kits (he has drones for it) that carry field suture kits, medkits, etc. Also comes with field rations and etc. Other drone-drop kits contain GRT1A1 magazines and power cells, AR60 rounds (varied), and mags for his handgun. Also comes with high-energy pills that are like energy in solid form. Disgusting, but could provide a life-saving boost to run or use magic.[/color]

*Augmentations:
[color=burlywood]None at all.[/color]

*Other:
[color=burlywood]"You like this phrase, yes? I have contacts in a great many organizations that allow me to call in supplies, vehicles, or weapons almost anywhere on the globe. It is useful to have friends, especially when they have more resources than oneself."[/color][/hider][/hider][/center]
