He who fights with monsters should look to it
that he himself does not become a monster.
And when you gaze long into an abyss
the abyss also gazes into you.

Modifications:Gene-therapy, biological (vat-grown organs) and cybernetic implants of various sorts -- please make sure to describe the capabilities. Also consider the necessity of networking technology and the likes in coordinating your characters together; they're probably wired up to the nth degree. The entries already filled out are the implants that come automatically to any agent of the Aspidas. The extremity of further implants is up to you. You are encouraged to think out of the box and in terms of what gives your character the maximum edge for their skillset.

Equipment: Please give a list; if you have questions about the setting's tech level, feel free to raise concerns -- the firearms tech is probably a combination of conventional ammunition weapons and various types of energy or magnetic type weapons with a very limited ammo supply and therefore are not practical as standard infantry weapons, they are heavier and bulkier than unaugmented humans can manage, and thus tend to be mounted on vehicles. However, augmentation means that Aspidas agents can handle these weapons. The typical standard-issue firearm is, for example, a highly refined version of what we use now, and the Aspidas probably refines it a little further with different materials and ammunition types and trigger systems. There are a bunch of miniaturized options for explosives and guidance, as well as UAV control and other types of tech; optical mimetic camouflage, for example, is on the table. Try to think out of the box when it comes to construction materials, recoil compensation, ammunition and so forth. Aspidas is also spending a lot of money on nonlethal options, like gas weapons, EMP and neural stunners, or things like active denial systems, because they anticipate having to settle down innocent humans, such as police forces, being used as pawns by the vampires. Some analysts are predicting that the vampires will use human thralls as cannon fodder in a fight, similar to the way they use influenced humans to subvert governments, and have spent time pondering how to neutralize these humans -- assuming, of course, that the field agents are interested in merely incapacitating the pawns of the Eternal.

Let me know if I need to change anything. :D

Name: Elizabeth "X-1" Jones (her full actual name is 'project X Trial 1 Prototype Number 2')
Age: appears to be 26, but is a mere eight years old.
Gender: No gender but has a feminine appearance
Ethnicity/Nationality: Robot. She has no nationality, but picked up a slight British accent from her 'father'

Physical Description:

Skillset:
Master Hacker: Knows the in and out of most computer systems, and has a few tricks up her sleeves when it comes to getting around any security measures they may have.
Natural Stealth: Especially sneaky. Can even run silently. Knows how to stick to the shadows and keep out of sight. With enough time and resources she could take down a small battalion by herself.
Master hand-to-hand combatant: Knows every little pressure point and weak spot of both the vampire and human body. She could kill a man with a single punch.
Vampiric Attunement: Knows all that anyone could know about the vampires. History, physiology, the likes.
History:
I was born in the lab
raised in the lab
worked in the lab
escaped the lab
I am not human
I am an android
built to kill vampires.
Elizabeth, or Project X-1, as said was created in a high security top secret facility. She was raised like a human as she has a very advanced A.I positronic brain. She was mostly tested on to see how she would react to different things. For eight years of her life she only met five people. This facility was visited by Aspida at one point, and they showed keen interest in her creation. Even though the head scientist of her program highly objected to her being used for senseless combat, Aspida pretty much took over the project, turning her into a vampire killing machine. She was outfitted with weaponry and programmed to have a horrid hatred towards any vampire. They also gave her everything they knew about the vampires. After she was done, Aspida added her to their ranks, since they created her, they could shut her down if she didn't obey orders and went AWOL. Or that's what they think.

Psychological Profile:
Has the mind of a preteen. Curious, inqusitive, and a thirst for social interaction. Whenever she sees a vampire her whole body screams at her to destroy it.

Modifications:
she has no modifications. she is a robotic human.
Steel Muscles: Her muscles are metal, and not only make her stronger than your basic vampire, they are also tougher than human muscle.
Pulsar Manipulation Systems: A flight system. Allows for slow falling and minor flight.
High Falls: has high power springs in her 'high heels' allowing her to fall up to 150 feet undamaged. Just as long as she lands on her feet.
Remote Access: Can access a computer wirelessly to hack into it from a virtual copy of her system
Basic communications suite. Has her own HUD though.
Specialized HUD: Has her own Heads Up Display, outfitted with a infrared scanner.
Equipment:
- Retracting Ultra-High carbon-steel claws laced with silver specks.
- Has intense UV lights on her palms that give off enough ultra violet energy to give a human cancer in a matter of fifteen minutes of constant shine. This of course fries vampires, but she can only use it for so long. Less than fifteen minutes in fact.
- Her wrist has a hidden blade made of a honed silver alloy that doesn't dull as fast as regular silver.
- A large Bowie knife.
- Has a small pistol equipped with silver rounds, and with three clips full, and five extra bullets. All of these are in a belt she acquired while escaping the lab.

name: Cade Vexis
age: 22
gender: male
ethnicity: Spanish/native American
physical description: Cade stands at 6'1 and has a muscular build. He weighs 225 pounds and has two cybernetic arms. He has short brown hair and green eyes. He rarely shaves and constantly has a shadow of a beard but never anything more. He is usually found wearing class 3 body armor and UCP utilities. He wears a mask that is designed for both practical and intimidation purposes. He also has tattoos on his chest,back,and shoulder. The tattoo on his chest is an upside down pentagram with runes at each point of the star. The tattoo on his back is a black cross of david with a six at the three points on the bottom. The tattoo on his shoulder is a tribal Gemini sign. If he takes his mask off he also has a scar that comes up his cheek to his nose.
HIS MASK:
skillset:
Marksman- Cade was a good shot before joining the military and they only improved upon his natural skill. He can use any firearm that he finds with utmost precision shooting at an expert level easily.
Favoritism- Cade has two favorite weapons one is an m4 carbine and the other is a 12 gauge Remington 870 MCS shotgun. If he has either of these weapons in hand he is a precise and deadly shooter. He has used both of these weapons to the extent that they are a part of him ingrained into his core.
Hand to hand- He has had military teachings in hand to hand combat as well as CQC with knives and other weapons. He is proficient but does not specialize in this type of combat.
Motion- Cade was born naturally colorblind. He cannot see any colors other than black and white and shades of grey. While many see this as a disadvantage Cade can see motion better because of this disability. It also improves his night vision not that it needs to his mask does that for him.
History: Cade was born to a poor family and was an only child both parents were drug addicts, however he made it through school to get into college. In college he joined an ROTC program and eventually enlisted in the military after he graduated with a degree in chemical engineering. He could have been anything he wanted but he chose to be a ground and pounder and hit the front lines. After the first year he was dishonorably discharged for killing an entire family who he said "were not human they butchered my men and drank their blood". The military deemed him unstable and had him transported back stateside and put into psychiatric evaluation. Aspidas found him and gave him a pace seeing that they could use his particular skills. Now he is a field agent and does his job as best he can.
psychological profile: Cade is unstable. He has witnessed war crimes, poverty, and even seen his brothers in arms ripped to pieces in front of him. On top of that when he reported it no one believed him and he was put into a treatment facility. He has become antisocial and something of a sociopath. He has masochistic tendencies but is also calculating and decisive. He hates vampires and the military both and wants nothing more than the extermination of the vampire race.
modifications:
-Communications suite, HUD and neural-computer, all standard issue -- Aspidas agents are able to text by thinking it among each other on a heavily encrypted wireless network. In fact, the computer works off brain impulses and is easily one of the most sophisticated and useful implants they have; what's more, its capabilities have yet to be fully exploited. The downside of this implant is that it includes a cortex bomb with an anti-tampering device. A captured agent can set it off, destroying the hardware inside, or a signal from control can do the same. This is to prevent the enemy from learning the capabilities of implanted agents.
- Internal air supply and aerial toxin filter -- this also has the added advantage of making the agent immune to vampire pheromones, as some types of vampires are known to use this to seduce their prey.
- Blood/liquid toxin filter -- the obvious is at work here -- vampires use their blood as a means of controlling mortals, and this system (and everyone, even non field agents, in the Aspidas organization have this implant) screens out one of most subtle weapons a vampire has, rendering them functionally immune to being controlled through ingested blood the way mortal thralls of a vampire might be.
- Eye augmentation; a HUD showing all sorts of system data, such as the status of implants, as well as allowing for low-light and ultra-sound modes of vision, the latter being thought to be more effective than thermographics when dealing with vampires, who tend to run cold if they haven't fed lately.
- Hearing Amplification, including low and high frequency sound ranges, along with balance augmentation.
-Neural Rewiring, neurons in the brain upgraded with fiber-optics to allow for faster transmission of thoughts and information, allowing him to react and think faster than a normal person.Improves his reaction speed significantly.
-cybernetic arms, both of cades arms have been replaced with robotic ones. These replacements are stronger,can withstand extreme impact, and as a bonus surprise both have blades that can extend from the wrist and elbow. Each has a 36 inch long silver edged titanium bade that can be extended and retracted from the top of the wrist. Also both have a 12 inch long blade off the same construction that can be retracted and extended from the elbow.
- His entire chest cavity has been enhanced to receive hardened impact as well as having been modified to heal itself.
-His entire body's muscular system has been enhanced with fiber so that his muscles can hold up to the stress of his augmentations.
-His spinal cord is made of an indestructible metal that allows him to support his enhancements.
-in his blood there is NANO technology that can heal wounds to an extent. However if put under to much stress then the NANOS fail and shut down until he is back to healthy status. This comes with a drawback as well. They cause his body constant duress to an extent and if he exerts himself to much he coughs blood and takes internal damage. The silver lining is that given time the NANO can fix even this damage.
equipment:
-mask: Cade has a mask that was designed to improve his combat effectiveness. It still displays his internal hud but also allows him to cycle between vision modes. He can see in thermal, night vision, normal(he is colorblind), and infared. The mask also allows his lungs a constant stream of oxygen even in combat making him extremely hard to tire out however he cannot survive more than 36 hours without the mask. It being made of a dense titanium alloy also has the added benefit of protecting his face.
-M4 carbine: A standard issue M4 although with his own custom paint job added to it. It has a telescoping stock with flip up sights and a red dot. He carries six magazines one in the weapon and five more in a pouch. All magazines are loaded with silver ammunition and have a white skull painted on them except one which has normal ammo and no skull on it.
- 870 MCS: He also carries a shortened version of the 870 on a sling. He carries special dragons breath rounds and fragmentation rounds and about 30 shells at a time.
He carries two magazines of Extremely unique ammunition for his M4. both contain specialized UV tracer rounds that upon impact with a surface make a miniaturized burst of UV light. However if the round penetrates a vampire it detonates inside exposing their organs to UV light as well as taking bullet damage.

Equipment:

Name: Lucas hägg

Age: 25
Gender: Male
Ethnicity/Nationality: Swedish.

Physical Description:



Tall, fit and fair. Lucas has trained and kept himself in shape rather well. Of course, now his entire torso is moncrome and steel colored, His legs sleek metal that is somewhat reminiscent of a metal statue. His hair is white, naturally so, and his eyes are white, unaturally so. Instead of pupils, the mechanical eyes have crosses where the center point shifts around to indicate where he is looking. He stands 6'0 tall, dressing in light, nanowoven kevlar armor for the most part, so thin he can still wear his favorite jacket on top of it.

Skillset:

- Close combat expertise; Lucas is a trained combatant, one specialized in infiltration and neutralization. His skills are geared towards surviving in CqC enviroments. Use of blades and handguns, coupled with krav maga and valetudo has made him a skilled opponent to face. His enhanced body ontop of that makes him a nightmare in close combat.

-Eternal Hunting; Lucas LIVES for the hunt. His sisters skills of survelance and secrutity only helps to add to it. After his defeat at Eternals hands and with them joining Aspidas, he has learned everything there is to know about the Eternal. He know their calling cards, their patterns, their structure of society.

-Freerunning; Knowing he needs to get within medium to close range before he engages a opponent, he is very apt at moving by foot and how to treat everything as a simple obstacle course.. Due to his incredibly durable and powerfull new body he can do this even better.

History:

Member of the gothenburg based organization of 'Ögon Kartellen', a neo-utopian, free information, free net movement. He and his sister were both bright eyed, diligent idealists and to some extent, info-terrorists. The 'Eye Cartel' as the name translates to, dealt in the liberation of secrets and encryted netdata of companies and goverments both. Sweden, a country boosting a tradition of highspeed net, information trade and netbased piracy was their playground.

The pair was appreciated and lauded among peers as the new generation of datahunters. They would crack systems and steal from even the most guarded info-vaults. Daring raids to steal physical hard drives coupled with hacking secure lines and networks. He was the part that did the breakins. Fast on his feet, a parkour expert and martial arts entuisiast he would generally do the pickups of old harddrives and simply outrun its previus owners.

One day however, they set their eyes one the wrong target. Lucas insisted they'd do it. The group they were after were a front for a group of Eternal. And eternals held onto alot of information, information meant to be free for everyone. So the duo did their thing. Only it ended up not working out to well. The systems were far more sofisticated and the Eternals themselves had no problem keeping up. The pair only got so far as halfway in before the Eternals sprung their trap. They counterattacked Isa's electronical interference while Lucas was simply rund down. They tore him practically to bits. But as luck would have it, Aspidas had chosen the sudden shift in Eternals attention to attack them aswell. They saved Lucas, and at his behest, Isa. The two were soon after enlisted to help fight the Eternals as their cybernetics program was likely the only thing that could save their lives.

Psychological Profile:
Driven, street smart, tech savy and ruthless, the 'lesser' half of the sibling duo of Lucas and Isabella is a classic case of post stress obsession. His target of obsession being the Eternal. After his illfated attempt at infiltrating a nest, a incident that left Isabella and him both legally blind and caused with braindamage, he grew colder and more distant towards the outside world. To him, his sister and the Hunt is all that matters. He is a proffesional, consumate and complete in his dedication to her. He protects her from the world, and she is his guardian angel from afar. He is gone on record that if needed, he will sacrifice the entire organization to save Isabella should such a incident occur. He was however, still cleared for the cybernetics project due to his otherwise incredibly dedicated proffesionalism.

Modifications:
-Neurological Booster. Due to the extensive damage done to his synapses, the scienstists and medical officers working on his recovery have fitted him with experimental neurological boosters. It allows him to process, compartmentalize and act upon information 3 times faster then the average person.

- Internal air supply and aerial toxin filter.

- Blood/liquid toxin filter

- Eye augmentation; Aside from the more standard ones that most agents have, lucas augmented vision is paired with his sisters state of the art security feeds and his own neurological booster. This allows him incredibly hand to eye coordination, giving him unaturally fast 'reflexes'.

-Robotic augmentation. Due to severe damage done to his arms and upper body at the hands of the Eternals sadistic torture, the organization had to replace damaged muscle tissue with superflexible, powerfull nanotubing and experimental, plastic alloys. The new robot arms look mainly human, and due the technology being in prototype stages, the mesh between skin and metal is far from pleasant to lucas at most times. Still, it allows him to lead a fairly normal life, even if alot of his upperbody is more or less that of a machine.

Equipment

Monoblade Khukri: One way to kill a vampire is by decapatation. Of all the weapons in the world, one blade is infamous for its extreme effeciency in hacking both vegetation and human tissue. That blade is the Napalesian Khukri. Lucas own is a so called monoblade. Made out of a special alloy, with a incredibly sharp and thing edge that vibrates at high frequencies. It is able to cut trough bone like it was tissue. The curved, expertly made blade makes for a exellent weapon that Lucas wield with frightening skill and ease.

- Sunny Suprise (UV Grenades) ; Something of a prototype, the UV grenade works by super charging powerfull UV lamps into 5 seconds bursts of light. The grenades when secure, look like black cylinders. With a turn and a pull however, you release a spring a that triggers the internal battery. The cylinder opens up and fans out a set of lamps withing a split second, then take another 3 second to trigger. Each grenade is expensive, so Lucas is only allowed 3 a mission usually.

-The Vindicator; Lucas was never a expert marksman, but he has a thing for chock and awe ever since his near death experience. The vindicator is a shotgun, short and simple. The long explenation is that its a flatchet based handgun of the 50. variant that is made to shred and tear. The spread is rather large, and the weapons kickback make it unreliable for continues fire. On the other hand, one round of it down a hallway tend to clear the way.

- The IMP; A heavy piece for a side arm, the IMP is a semi automatic 9 rounds, .45 caliber handgun with some serius firepower. The rounds can range from normal slugs, to exploding rounds and dragonrounds that burst into flame upon impact. The weapons heavy kickback is somewhat negated by the metal arms ability to lock its wrist. Used alongside his Khukri, it's his go to weapon.
