Awww yeah, first post. Just a note, as well, my character isn't really leader material but I wouldn't mind running him as such if no one else is up to the task. The missions might just get a little... hectic, haha. My character: [center][b][u]Basic Information[/center][/b][/u] Name: Citadel Damasca Orlan Seralis Veks (Humanized: Seralis Veks, goes by Veks) Age: 21 Gender: Male Race: Salarian Profession: Hacker/Rigger- Adept at manipulating tech, usually illegally Homeworld: The Citadel [center][b][u]Physical Information[/center][/b][/u] Picture: [url=http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/9268/xnalara2012040213501789.jpg]Click![/url] Appearance: Veks is slim and tall, like all Salarians. His skin tone is a greyish-brown, as seen in his appearance pic. His face is relatively unblemished, sporting none of the scars, scratches or scrapes one would normally equate with a mercenary. Veks stands at about 6’3”. Casual Attire: Veks, when he’s not on duty, is often still in his armor. Only to sleep and on very special occasions does he dress down, in which case he wears a relatively common outfit, a simple, long-sleeved shirt and form-fitting pants. He loves black and usually dresses to show it, though his casual attire may contain the secondary colors of yellow, orange, or red as well. Battle Attire: Veks’s battle attire is the armor showed in the picture above. He also tends to make use of tech armor if a situation gets really hairy, though he prefers to stay out of the line of fire in the first place. The armor is relatively light, prioritizing speed and flexibility over damage reduction. [center][b][u]Personal Information[/center][/b][/u] Personality: Highly intelligent but lacking in common sense, Veks is a snarky and quick-witted Salarian. Like many of his species, his brain runs very fast, and his mouth is quick to follow. His sarcastic, talk-before-you-think attitude has gotten him into trouble more than once. Veks is also sly and knows how to be tactful and manipulative when the time is right. However, Veks is still young at heart; he is naive about many things in the wider world and has a poor sense of morality, often doing what is beneficial to him without thinking of the consequences his actions have, for others or himself. Randomly, Veks also doesn’t like water, and hates swimming. History: Veks grew up in a high-end household on the Citadel. His parents were rather wealthy, having connections with the Council, and his ancestors being among the first Salarians to settle on the Citadel. He was provided with top-notch education during his early life, during which he absorbed an enormous amount of knowledge. His forte was technology; Veks tended to eschew art for art’s sake, as he called it, and instead channeled his creativity into technology. From an early age Veks displayed an affinity for science and math, far surpassing other children of his age. He won many awards and was praised by his teachers. Veks’s life took a turn around his teenage years. Gaining more freedom through young adulthood, Veks began to abuse his intelligence. He started hacking into secured computers, stealing others omni-tools, and other reckless and illegal acts in a mad pursuit of knowledge. At one point, he was caught tweaking a Keeper in order to try to learn more about them and possibly control one remotely. The authorities found out about a string of technological crimes he had committed but, due to his academic prestige, let him get off with a simple slap on the wrist. However, he wouldn’t always be so lucky… Veks’s hunger for knowledge would eventually get him exiled from the Citadel. One night, Veks broke into a secure area of C-Sec and attempted to hack their computers and steal data. However, he was unaware that he was being tailed and was caught. They threatened to incarcerate him, but his parents were able to pull some strings in order to change the sentence; his parents, in their disappointment with their wayward son, opted to have him exiled from the Citadel, hoping that he would be able to live peacefully elsewhere. Originally, they had planned a trip for him that would take him to a well-respected planet where many scholars would go to continue their education; however, Veks had his own plans. He made his way to Omega, where he was able to continue his relentless pursuit of knowledge without the burden of laws or morales. He quickly learned the ways of the fallen planet, and has successfully stayed clear of Aria’s wrath. Recently, Veks decided to join a freelance mercenary group, deciding that what he wouldn’t be able to accomplish alone, he should be able to achieve with allies. [center][b][u]Combat Information[/center][/b][/u] Biotic Abilities: Not applicable Weapons: M-6 Carnifex Hand Cannon- A highly accurate and lethal sidearm. Effective against armor; weak against shields and biotic barriers. Omni-Tool- Can create many deadly effects through the use of the Omni-Tool. Can create the standard Omni-Blade, as well as a variety of melee-ranged effects: these include an electrical charge, a swath of flame, and a burst of kinetic energy capable of damaging armor and knocking enemies back. [i]Incinerate-[/i] Veks can use the traditional Engineer attack called Incinerate, in which a blast of thermal energy is shot toward an opponent, exploding upon contact. Very effective against armor. [i]Overload-[/i] A powerful tech-shock that disables shields and deals heavy damage to synthetics. Veks is able to use it to disable enemy tech, causing a temporary malfunction. [i]Cryo Blast-[/i] Another favorite of Engineers, Veks fires a projectile which, upon contact with a surface, will cause the area around it to snap-freeze. Can be used to slow an enemy’s movement or freeze a weakened enemy completely. Armor: Light Armor- Allows for maximum mobility at the cost of full protection. Could not sustain much direct damage. Generates shields for a small amount of extra protection. [i]Tech Armor-[/i] When the going really gets rough, Veks can activate a rudimentary form of Tech Armor. This light-based defensive measure will provide him with a bit more protection should he be put into a tight spot.
