Name: Ace Aurous Age: 25 Gender: Male Ethnicity/Nationality: English Physical Description: Aceis a very slight and tall man, not so skinny as to make himself look gangly but also not thick enough to look even slightly muscular. He is mostly seen in fine tailored suits or something appropriately ‘designer’. He is a man possessed with a face that tiptoes the line of feminine and masculine; with fine eyebrows, thick lips, high cheekbones and big, clear blue eyes. He seems to have walked straight out of a fashion magazine, which he often has. He has a perfectly messed up mop of dirty blonde hair atop his head. Skillset: Ace is a people person. A charmer with wit, sophistication and a keen mind for any and all pieces of advice he could pick up in a conversation. His is The Vigils Face. The man that infiltrates vampire society with nothing but his words and his mind. Aside from the charm and good looks, Aceis proficient in small caliber firearms and has some rudimentary knowledge of hand to hand combat. He is by no means a fighter, he just simply isn't built for it. His body can't handle the stress of most combat and military grade augmentations. He was lucky that the Vigil could augment him in with their basic kit. History Ace is many things and has been many things. Ranging from a model for the pleasure of the well paying and eccentric fashion designers that are abundant these days to a stripper. A product of a wealthy family, one that touts the necessity for humanity to stay human and not augment themselves, Ace was the atypical spoiled rich boy when it came to things such as following the rules of how his father deemed life was necessary in living. When he was old enough to augment himself, he decided on a simple little thing that would allow him to change his eye colour. The change did not go unnoticed by the wealthy head of the Aurous family, especially due to Ace constantly making his eyes neon purple or some other extravagant colour. This act of rebellion was something that continued throughout Ace’s life, ergo him going and stripping to piss off his father and hopefully besmirch the Aurous family name. Ace’s induction in to The Vigil was not a pleasant one. Having found a steady model job that allowed him to live comfortably, Ace grew grandiose with the parties he was known to throw. The penthouse suite he rented was filled to the point of burst. Lights flared brilliantly in the dark enclosure. Bodies pressed together in a warm sweating mess of drunken flailing and debauchery. Tits were flashed, drugs were taken and alcohol ran like rivers. Above it all sat Ace. He was above the people that writhed to heavy bass and hypnotic pulsing of the dark industrial music that was so popular with the raving scene. Except for one. She was fabulously made; all dangerous curves, flowing hair and femininity. He approached her, wishing only to spend a night. What he got was a set of fangs ripping his throat. The Vigil stormed in and quickly worked to save Ace’s life. Since then, he became a slightly more famous and slightly more reclusive due to his other life as part of the Vigil. Psychological Profile: Ace is still kind of a normal guy. Well about as normal as a guy that lives a lifestyle of constant alcohol and cigarettes with no consequences can live. He is a womanizer, always looking to get laid to varying levels of success. With his invasion and constant infiltration of vampire society, he is able to easily slip into many numerous persona’s he has concocted and precisely recall the complex web of lies that persona has. Some call this signs of a sociopath, Ace just likes to think of it as a very special skill. He is still rather afraid of combat and fighting vampires as he, unlike his fellow Vigil members, is not suited for combat. Modifications: (The ones already listed are standard issue for all characters) Communications suite, HUD and neural-computer, all standard issue – Vigil 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 Vigil 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. Equipment: (The items already listed are standard issue.) Mimetic Camouflage (Predator) coat, though this is designed to look more like a trenchcoat -- no doubt some project engineer with a penchant for the dramatic, or an interest in fashion design. The coat is actually stylish, which serves a dual purpose as vampires tend to dress stylishly and surround themselves with the stylishly dressed. This allows Vigil agents one more edge. Of course, they call it the Predator Coat. Because the engineers are geeks. (This is a standard issue Vigil item) A number of electronic accessories, including a PDA tablet and other items to assist in making physical connection with computer equipment. (This is a standard issue Vigil item) Grenades, mostly white phosphorus. The organization has designed a 'grenade' that involves a strobing UV light that damages vampires -- it is known as 'the disco ball'. Small caliber hand gun - Ace is unable to use the standard issue Vigil firearm, so this is his gun. The Mask - Ace had a mask created for him by The Vigil, able to disguise himself and alter features on the fly. The Mask feels and looks authentic, the only telling sign is a small, nigh invisible line that sits just under his collar bones. It is able to imitate hair.
