I have decided that I have sufficient material to make something of faint interest out of the Background Section in accordance with the GM's requirements. I shall be burning additional Impetus for this purpose. I am posting the basic draft here sans Background, which will be finished and added sometime tomorrow.

[hider=Physical Description]Iikka Guiomar is around 58 kilograms in eight and 1.8 meters tall with a previously lanky build that has begun to grow broader with age that possesses light coils of muscle. His hair is shoulder length, curly, and dark, worn so that his brow and ears are both unobstructed. While he used to have foxish features and a facial structure with easy contours, reconstructive surgery has reduced his facial profile to a haggard visage. Reduced bone mass conveys the impression of missing pieces just below the surface, and relative to his neck and shoulders his head appears oddly proportioned. He maintains a modest layer of stubble around his mouth and sideburns in order to partially mask the fat and muscle deficiencies in the surrounding tissue. His most prominent feature is his striking, orange eyes, which always seem to be eerily fixed and unwavering. Iikka Guiomar has trouble smiling due to the surgery, but he retains a faint and effortless smirk from prior years of habituation.[/hider][hider=Psychiatric Report][b][u]Compiled Psychiatric Data & Sales Advisory Report of Consumer 000436021810, CommScale Research Marketing & Consumer Demographics Division A.I.[/u][/b]

Consumer 000436021810 does not appear to possess any manner of hereditary disorder of note, and is not at any apparent risk from congenital illness. The Consumer was the victim of a domestic incident at a young age, and suffered from abusive neglect throughout the duration of their early adolescence until they were legally disowned upon turning eighteen. Predictably, the Consumer is abnormally desiring of companionship but possesses severe commitment and trust issues. Consumer 000436021810 possesses an easy social countenance and maintains a large coterie network, essentially surviving off of a combination of good-will and community-sponsored civil projects in a management capacity. The Consumer is an adept social manipulator, but is highly self conscious of their personal appearance and possesses obsessive pessimism which both contribute to a lack of personal efficacy within large groups. Consumer 000436021810 is a noted community advocate for appropriate youth development and has a recorded sentiment for war orphans.

Consumer 000436021810 has suffered from an industrial accident within the last seven years, and receiving partial reconstructive surgery for portions of their face. The accident provoked significant extranet hits from the Consumer in regards to Avadyne Corporation, as well as niche conspiracy and rumor-mongering sites. Surveillance records of their movements reveal a possible interest in black market venues during the same time period.

The C144-MK.XII E.G.A.I.G.E. (Electron Gyrofrequency Affected Ionization and Graser Emitter) Optical System, more colloquially referred to as the Eyes of Sstheno, is a third-party combination optical prosthesis and radiological weapon. Designed to use a custom power cell containing isometric nuclear fuel (although the prosthesis is compatible with most induction capacitors), the Eyes of Sstheno are capable of projecting a cone of induced gamma emission invisible to the naked eye, which at a given focal point induces severe ablative and thermal force sufficient to flash-vaporize biological tissue and damage electronic hardware. Projected gamma fluorescence is highly penetrating and can be directed through various obstructions including walls and body armor, or even through biomatter (harmlessly) in order to reach any given target focal point. 

The Eyes of Sstheno are intended for use only under optimal atmospheric conditions. Hazardous and potentially fatal accidents may occur due to blooming of the gamma emission cone which may be caused by rain, fog, snow, smoke, and weather with high atmospheric particulate counts. The gamma emission cone although theoretically limited only by line of sight has an expected effective range of ten meters in practice and should be used with caution in order to prevent scattering effects. While rated to penetrate through walls and body armor, dense materials such as lead or else water barriers can reduce the effective range of the gamma emission cone. The small size of the apertures built into the prosthetic limits safe consecutive use of multiple gamma emissions, which would cause irreversible damage to the prosthesis and to the optic nerves of the user possible even resulting in death due to radiological trauma.

The structure and mechanisms of the prosthesis severely restrict the visual range of the user. The iris are structurally fixed and there is an absence of artificial saccadic analogues; the viewer must turn their entire head in order to adjust their view. While the prosthesis is built with an integral IR Laser Scanner used to calculate the precise degree of emitter adjustment necessary to project the gamma cone towards a specific focal point, it only points perfectly straight forward and is reportedly difficult to aim steadily.

The prosthesis' status as a third-party system has resulted in the lack of a standardized design. Units are produced individually by a single skilled technician using parts and equipment that are available, and the original designer is thought to be presently deceased. The estimated number of C144-MK. 12 Optical Systems in use is thought to be no greater than twelve.

Limited combat trials have indicated a general inferiority to more reliable and longer-ranged conventional firearms, with the system being best suited to covert employment. Limited tactical analysis of possible covert employment indicates that distinctive spongiform tissue damage in victims is may be readily recognized as evidence of foul play, and thus less preferable to alternative tools and methodology.

It is recommended that the C144-MK. 12 Optical System (the Eyes of Sstheno) be stored indefinitely with the possibility for revisitation for R&D purposes. While their theoretical utility and sophistication is compelling, practical usage falls short of desired standards and the difficulties involved during production are excessive even for specialized use.[/hider]
[b][u]Smoke and Mirrors:[/u][/b] Iikka is fairly skilled with sleight of hand, misdirection, and various stage tricks. Combined with their ability to project holograms from their optical prostheses, Iikka is ready to stage a show at the drop of the hat. However, the relative availability of hologram technology in conjunction with a nearly universal disdain for petty tricks means that his talent has little utility...although one imagines his skills have more unseemly applications.

[b][u]Bardic Knowledge:[/u][/b] As a community coordinator and aspiring playwright, Iikka is used to issuing directives and organizing flocks of egotistical hacks, while also making split-second wide-scale thematic (or perhaps strategic) decisions. Iikka is exceedingly difficult to surprise, and he has a way of rolling with new information as it is flung at him - and by extension, is quite good at improv.

[b][u]True Seeing:[/u][/b] Iikka can see through walls and perceive the presence of optical camouflage, amongst other things.

[b][u]Matchbox Stare:[/u][/b] Iikka can kill with a look, which is useful enough. The Eyes of Sstheno are also useful for frying electrical and computer systems, and the predominant advantage of the technology is its subtlety. A faint glimmer of light and an electrical popping noise are the only heralds of an abrupt end, making the weapon a highly discreet alternative to conventional firearms. [/hider][/hider]
