Personality:
[indent]Responsible, dedicated, and nearly tireless are words Aulay has come to hear frequently. From going up in the woods, he was raised to never procrastinate, and to do things to the best of his ability the first time. Not to mean he doesn't like to have fun, but he likes to get what needs doing done, before having fun.

Of course, Aulay is also well accustomed to being called a redneck, a hick, due to his love of the outdoors and general idea of what he considers fun: Taking week long backpacking trips into the most remote wilderness he can find.[/indent]

History:
[indent]Born in the remote town of Kenai, Alaska, Aulay grew up in a small “naturalist” community around six hours away by motorboat, in a sheltered inlet with five other families. Their ideal was to return to the land, and live in harmony with nature itself. They hunted, fished, grew the crops that they needed of vegetables and tubers. Without electricity, except for the single generator used to power a radio if an emergency arose, they relied on each other to collect supplies for the winter; from food to firewood.

As a child, Aulay learned how to take care of himself rather quickly, learning from ten parents how to fish, pick berries, select mushrooms, and wood working. However, when his ability started to develop, it started concern in his parents due to him asking why some things glowed, or the color of something he already knew. Worried his eyes were forming some kind of defect, Aulay was taken into Kenai, then to Anchorage where the doctors performed scans to try and determine if anything was wrong. When they tried to get Aulay into the MRI machine, was when a nurse from Boston, who had a brother with a unique gift of his own, heard Aulay commenting that the MRI machine was “too bright.” It wasn't long after, that they realized the the young child was seeing far more of the EM spectrum than they, themselves could. These new colours he was seeing, these new lights were slowly labeled in his mind as broad categories that spanned massive ranges of tones.

Six months later, after Aulay had turned eight, the family was contacted by a Professor from the Wilmer Eye Institute who wanted to bring the family to Baltimore to try and determine the visual range that Aulay could see. Seeing nothing wrong with the idea, the family agreed. After a battery of tests, it was found that Aulay could see from the Extreme UV to the some portions of radiowaves, but it also appeared to be broadening in scope. It was quickly found that Aulay had related these “colours” to darkness, since that was when he saw them the most, and everyone would how it was getting dark. So, Aulay was lead into a special room, lined with several feet of lead to block all radiation from entering.

It was traumatizing. Having never witnessed real “darkness” before, Aulay found himself terrified of the lack of light. Not being able to see, was distressing, unnatural, and completely alien to the child. Since then, he has been utterly terrified of the idea of “darkness” and not being able to see. Luckily, his vision has expanded to encompass so much of the spectrum that make it almost impossible for him to be blinded.

Since that trip, he returned with his family to their little home in the remote wilderness of Alaska. He took up hunting with his father, helped another family build a cabin to join them, and in general, because a rather bright, and intelligent young man.

Thus it came to him as a surprise on January 4th, when he was still just thirteen, they heard the roar of a helicopter descending to the ice of the frozen inlet. It was members of the FBI, seeking Aulay's assistance in what had become a standoff just outside of Kenai. A group of men who had been found to be part of a child slavery ring, were barricaded in a home with several victims that they were now holding hostage. They were claiming that the house was wired to explode, and that they would blow it up, if they didn't get their demands. The men and the FBI had been in a stalemate for two days already.

Forty minutes later, Aulay arrived at a hill overlooking the building, after asking for the Police and Federal agents to turn off their radios for 1 minute. Using a pair of binoculars and his ability to see [i]through[/i] the walls themselves for anything denser than the wood or drywall, he saw a number of bundles scattered through the walls. With the power out in the building, it was the suspicious blinking light of the detonator that he saw on a table. Ten minutes later, a single shot was fired from a marksman. It punched through the outer wall, and destroyed the detonator. Teams moved in to secure the hostages and criminals with only a handful of shots being fired. The end result was two suspects dead, one critically wounded, and three captured. All hostages were recovered safely.

It was Aulay's introduction into the world of heroism. He was hailed as a saviour, a hero. He didn't like it. It was too much attention, too many people intruding on his quiet life. He vanished with his friends soon after, when asked where they went, the community of Diamond Point just shrugged, “They'll be back when they want to be, and when you're gone.”

The group of kids returned six months later, and Aulay had come to a realization; he would do what he could for others. After he turned eighteen and his younger brother and sister were old enough to take over his chores.

He started learning law, training his ability to shoot by hunting, and just target practice. He agreed to help the local park wardens with search and rescue missions as part of his training. Being able to see the radio transmitters on stranded people on the ground, let them locate sinking ships to lost dog sledders.

When he turned eighteen, he moved to the FBI training base in Quantico, Viginia. He began training as a marksman, to which he was already accurate enough, but needed honing in his calculations and expectations of hostage scenarios. He also became acquainted with computers for, essentially, the first time in his life. His curiosity and drive to learn made him a fast study, and within a year, he had gone from barely knowing what a mouse was, to learning to code his own apps. After talking with the intelligence crew over an idea he had, he learned how to remote hack into most cellphones, and enable a rotating signal output that was rather distinctive and easy for him to see and trace. His final test came before the paperwork of his graduation, he was requested for a mission where a pair of super powered individuals were waging a war in the streets of Washington D.C.

Aulay was deployed, helping to coordinate agents in the field to surround the target as best as he could, but ultimately he was forced to pull the trigger.[/indent]

Powers/Abilities: 
[indent]Omni-spectrum vision, the ability to see all electro-magnetic radiation as "light". Where humans can see but an infinitesimally small band of the EM Spectrum, Aulay perceives it all as a rainbow of colours no one else can even fathom or relate to. From the ELF frequencies of 3 to 30 hertz, to being able to witness gamma radiation at 10 exahertz, to radiation we cannot even detect with our technology. What does this ultimately mean? Aulay is pretty much impossible to blind by high intensity light: He already is adapted to see more light than any other human is capable of, nor can he be blinded by a "lack" of light, as even in the darkest of caves, there is background radiation he can see by. The only time he has witnessed "darkness" was during government testing; sent into a room surrounded by 3 feet of lead on all sides when he was young, the experience terrified him. He is able to see through buildings, and read their structure from the shadows casted by denser materials. Energy emitting objects, such as life forms, cell phones, powerlines, all emit a "glow" of the energy they are releasing.[/indent]

Equipment:
[indent]As a marksman who trains to try and deal with people who have abilities, and having eyes that let him see through buildings, Aulay has acquired some more powerful than average firearms to try and cope with these uncommon threats. His most powerful rifle, and least used, is the Lahti L-39. A massive rifle weighing in excess of a hundred pounds, firing 20x138mmB cartridges. It is widely considered to be the most powerful anti-material rifle ever made, that doesn't use "recoilless" technology. It is a semi-automatic firearm with a ten round box magazine which itself weighs in excess of 4.5 lbs loaded. For projectiles, he mostly uses specially developed AP rounds, which are essentially large, tungsten slugs. However, for extraordinarily tough threats, he has developed a saboted High Velocity Armor Penetrator round which uses a foamed aluminum sabot, that falls away from the tungsten dart within 75 to 200 yards. He does keep a few high explosive rounds on hand, if a situation calls for it however, but coming from a citizen safety standpoint, collateral damage is meant to be contained to a minimum. The main downfall of this firearm, is its lack of mobility. Trying to move such a heavy firearm, that is 7'4” long is no easy task.

Aulay's main rifle is a custom made, semi-automatic rifle chambered in 14.5x114mm that he designed and made himself. Inspired by the Lahti, the rifle is much lighter, utilizing modern steels and alloys to cut the weight down to 64 lbs, and the length down to a slightly more reasonable 6'6” in length. While most would consider this rifle itself to be extreme, he chose the caliber for its ability to punch through the concrete walls of buildings in a city with a minimum of deflection. In his testing, he found that smaller calibers, such as 7.62x51mm, .300 Winchester Magnum, even .338 Lapua had trouble even getting through the walls. 12.7x99mm or .50 BMG he felt was being deflected too much to be reliable upon penetration to hit the intended target. 14.5 with nearly twice the energy of the 12.7 gives him both the punch, and accuracy he desired. Yet this firearm is not without its downsides; it is still very heavy. It's recoil is still fierce, and its length is unwieldy.

He does have an alternate main rifle however, for locations not as built up as cities where reinforced concrete is the norm. For these locations, he uses a PGWDTI Timberwolf rifle chambered in .338 Lapua. It is the most accurate rifle he has, and with him doing everything right, is more than capable of hitting a chest sized target, at 1200 yards with 90% probability.

However, he is also a firearms enthusiast and has a decent collection of other firearms, of less “purposeful” nature. From ww2 collectors to a variety of handguns.

One of the other items he relies upon for his work, are his Zeiss Optics 7x50 marine binoculars. Large, and clunky to some, they offer a wide field of view, and excellent light transmission.[/indent]
