Beware the Bear. Here's my Corrupted character. [hider= The Bear] [i]“Don’t tread on The Bear!”[/i] [b]Name:[/b] [REDACTED] [b]Codename:[/b] Ursa [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Age:[/b] 17 [b]Nationality:[/b] American [b]Current location in the world:[/b] New York City [b]Appearance:[/b] [img]http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090605191623/d__/darkerthanblack/images/e/e2/Hei1.PNG [/img] If one had to choose to describe Ursa’s appearance, they’d have difficulty deciding where to start. Oftentimes those sizing him up have a knife in their throats before they have time to decide wheter to start analyzing the myriad scars on the Japanese-Americans face or whether to look at his midnight black coat, dotted with the last remnants of his foes blood. Ursa stands at a menacing 6 foot 6 inches tall, dwarfing most civilians on the street. He has muscles that are as big around as paint cans, and such a deadpan expression that you could be forgiven for assuming he was some kind of android. His trenchcoat is black and very slightly too long at the bottom, not enough to drag behind him when he walks, but enough to give it almost the effect of a cape. The coat is dotted with the rare faded red stain from one of the many deaths Ursa has caused. His pants are black just like the rest of his outfit, though they are more immaculate, with Ursa’s twin pistols attached to either thigh in holsters. His black combat boots and black gloves complete his uniform, completing the picture. In three words, he could be described from one look as: “Hyper Lethal Vector”. [b]Location & Notes on Star Mark:[/b] The agent’s star mark is very large, it is a five point black star taking up the entire space on his chest. It appears to almost be wrapping around him. [b]Star Power:[/b] [i]Super Soldier Physiology-[/i]Ursa’s star power allows him to effectively be the pinnacle of a hand-to-hand combatant. He is stronger, faster, and more durable than the average human. His maximum lifting strength maxes at being just able to throw a pick-up truck. If he strains himself he has the capacity to use a sedan as effectively a sledge hammer. He routinely runs at 40 miles per hour, though his upper limit is considered to be that of a Cheeta. Ursa has resisted punches or trauma from blunt weapons that would kill normal people. He isn’t bulletproof but it would take more than just one shot to put The Bear down. Additionally, he heals at a slightly accelerated rate. Not enough to be considered rapid cellular regeneration, but enough to that he’s not out of commision for too long after taking a bad hit. [b]Skills:[/b] -Expert Hand to Hand Combatant: After spending his entire life training, Ursa is a black belt in three martial arts, and currently has a basic understanding of two other disciplines. -Marksman: Ursa is a crack shot with his two pistols. he has the capacity to fire a myriad of other firearms, but he generally prefers his pistols. -Tactician: Ursa has an extremely tactical mind, and is quick to think about his enemies strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, his mind has often allowed him to get a rudimentary guess of any oppositions star powers; though he has been wrong before. [b]Equipment:[/b] -Two Sig Sauer P226 Pistols: The Bears primary weapon, when he’s not getting… Suffice to say, [i]personal[/i] with his bare hands. -Knuckled Gloves: Further augmenting how much damage Ursa can do with a punch, his gloves have built in brass knuckles. -Four Smoke Grenades: Hidden inside his coat. -One Combat Knife: Hidden in his combat boots. -Coat: Ursa’s coat is made of kevlar and woven spidersilk to make for a quite durable material. -Steel Toed Boots [b]Corrupted or Uncorrupted:[/b] Corrupted. It occurred one year ago, making him one of the longest lasting corrupted, second only to one Astraia Johnson. [b]Personality:[/b] He walks somewhere on the thin line between deadpan and sardonic. His expression is always one of distaste or lack of emotion, even when sizing up an opponent. The only time a smile will grace his face is perhaps when he is in the heat of combat, gunning down or battering aside foes, whether they be grown men or boys as old or even younger than he is. His only remaining pleasure in life is the completion of the tasks given to him by The Organization and the sweet feeling of murder. He revels in combat like others would love spending time with their significant other. Ursa may have had a concise, once, but any vestiges of what concise they didn’t take from him during indoctrination was brutally ripped away when his star became corrupted. He has absolutely no qualms with doing even the most despicable tasks, as long as his higher up directed him to. He snapped his training partner’s neck in cold blood. He has no remorse and no moral compass- and he adores it. He oftentimes will be introduced to people, and forget to take their names because he’s too enamored with thinking of how many ways he could kill them. [b]Biography:[/b] Agent Ursa was never granted the pleasure of what is considered a ‘normal life’. At age one, The Organization realized he had a star, and they came for him. It’s not officially recorded whether or not the agents that came for him killed his parents, but suffice to say that there wouldn’t by anyone left to post ‘MISSING’ posters for the abducted child. Practically as soon as he could walk The Organization began its intense indoctrination- or, ‘training program’ they liked to call it. They called it Project Ursa, because they had a rare opportunity in front of them. They had discovered two children with the exact same powers. Ursa and the other boy began training early- Aside from martial arts training the boys were taught advanced topics from an early age. Trigonometry, astrophysics, theoretical biology- All taught when the boys were seven. They were being conditioned into some of the finest warriors the world had ever seen, hyper lethal vectors that would make even the most hardened members of any Spec Ops team piss his pants. To fuel their training, they were always being compared. If one was doing better than the other, even slightly, they’d be called Ursa Major, with the other being relegated to Ursa Minor. The Bear didn’t like that, but he tolerated his partner, even becoming friendly with him as they grew better and better at the use of their abilities and their training accelerated. They were set to be deployed at age fourteen, but around that time The organization made a discovery- The Corrupted. The Organization started capturing and torturing those with stars to make them corrupted, then unleashing the Ursas on them to further the ursas training. When both boys were 16, The Organization had only one more idea for them. They carefully organized the capture and torture of the Bear, leaving his training partner with some other menial task. They carefully covered their tracks so the extremely intelligent Bear could never realize it was them. They depraved Ursa of his humanity and broke his spirit, until his star turned black. It wasn’t long after that that the Bears captors were dead and neatly disposed of and he’d found his way back to Organization HQ. He was given one final task- Kill his training partner. The Organization's true test that the Corrupted were superior to their uncorrupted counterparts. Ursa snapped his partners neck without hesitation, setting a precedent for the most successful Star-killing assassin in the history of the world. Ursa is one of the only agents that The Organization trusts to eliminate those that they label as ‘threats’- and he more than deserves such a distinction. [b]Trivia:[/b] -Though his physical strength is enormous, his preferred option for elimination of targets is his pistols. -His list of confirmed kills in somewhere around one hundred. -He fears a man whom he knows little of, other than that he has a star mark on the small of his back.
