He usually wears a t-shirt adorned only with the Bastion Defence logo imprinted on the centre of the chest. His pants are usually tan or dark cargo pants which sit above a pair of combat boots. His physical build is medium athletic toned by over a decade of military training and mercenary work. [/hider] [hider=Job Description] Following his departure from Syndustries Security five years ago, he founded his own private security company, Bastion Defence to utilise the only skills he’d ever been trained for. Five successful years of contract work grew it from a one-man operation to a firm of fifteen people total, ten operators and five support staff. While much smaller than many of the larger private security firms, they have a reputation for being highly trained, discipline and professional when under contract. The vast majority of the contracts they receive are in the core, from government bounties to protecting corporate assets or wealthy individuals conducting interviews there. Despite being the owner of Bastion, Raen still feels far more comfortable being an operator than sitting nice in a head office or boardroom. After the disastrous first contact with the Advents, Bastion was one of the many firms hired by the government to bolster the ranks of the Watchmen in the Core. [/hider] [hider=Biography] Raen followed the footsteps of his father as a Syndustries Guardian, living in Low Town in a modicum of comfort relative to the Core. His father had ambitions for the finer things in life, hence why he switched from Watchman to Guardian, hoping the private sector would bring his fortune. In truth all he managed was to become was a guard in the Syndustries Tower. He was a sole child but found friends amongst the kids of Low Town. He was steady but unspectacular at school but did find some success with athletic adventures which guided his development to a physical career. His dad had passed on most of his own skillset before Raen had even graduated from high school and secured him a trial to become a Guardian for Syndustries. He’d excelled at the job, being steadily promoted to higher and higher ranked squads until he found himself leading one of the premier Guardians in the many corporate orders he followed. The next step was an invitation to join the Reaper program; to become the best of Syndustries’ soldiers. A year of intensive training had followed, there was gruelling physical and psychological exercises along with extensive tactics lessons. However, he’d always been a square peg in a round hole as a Reaper; where the others were cold, calculating and ruthless, Raen was warm and had empathy for others. Though Syndustries had programs to ‘condition’ potential candidates with ‘mental inhibitions’ such as his own, they only proved helpful in teaching Raen how to hide these emotions rather than removing them. It was under this pretence that he was accepted into the ranks of the Reapers, yet on his first mission he was undone by his empathy. He was assigned a mission to hunt down a group of Anon lead by a former Guardian John Calvin, which had killed numerous Guardians and destroyed swathes of Syndustries’ assets. When he’d finally tracked John’s group down they were preparing to execute a squad of captured Watchmen. Raen made an instantaneous decision to save the squad but in doing so, allowed John Calvin to escape into the Core. He was severely reprimanded and removed from active duty for failing his mission, then dismissed from the company when a Syndustries Executive was assassinated by Calvin and his men. The termination destroyed Raen as working for Syndustries was all he’d known and all that he’d ever been good for; what was worse that it was his own character failings that Syndustries had invested in fixing which had undone him. It took a few months of broken living and an intervention from his father and some of his former Guardian squad to turn his attention into something productive again. Though the first two years were tough work on his own, with a blacklisting from Syndustries severely decreasing his customer base and access to suppliers. The turning point in his fortune was a mission rescuing a Calvin Industries executive from kidnappers in the Core, which yielded access to military grade weaponry as a ‘field test contractor’ and a bevy of new wealthy clients. From there Bastion security grew into one of the more reputable small private security companies in the Core, with a recent aspirational boutique office in Aetherdale.

While capable of using standard single core ammunition it is at its most effective with an experimental dual-core bullet which utilises a second red shard core that detonates on impact with a target. Weapons testing revealed that the weight reduction and streamlined design left it under-powered with standard ammunition but nearly recoil-less and a perfect mobile weapon. Clip size of 30 rounds with fully adjustable fire.

With a large recoil, low capacity and low rate of fire due to the massive heat dissipation they were a weapon that didn’t make it far past the prototype stage. Clip size of 4 shots.

The suit seals with a filtered air system in the case of exposure to toxin or gas and the visor provides a weapons integrated HUD with targeting assist to streamline information to the occupant. The use of too many systems exposes the suit’s other major flaw, a lack of significant power storage which makes it less suitable for extended firefights.

He’s accurate with a gun, fit as a fiddle and more than proficient in hand to hand combat. [/indent] [*] [b] Cool Under Pressure [/b] [indent] As a veteran of many firefights, he’s as cold as ice in combat and as he was taught in training, fight smart not angry. This calm allows him a little more time to assess and react to dangerous situations. [/indent] [*] [b] Physically Fit [/b] [indent] Even the luxuries of being a successful contractor haven’t broken his fitness as he maintains a training regime with his employees. Despite his propensity for a drink, his exercise along with medical assistance keeps a physical decay at bay. [/indent] [/list] [color=steelblue][b]Limitations:[/b][/color] [list] [*] [b] Weight of His Past [/b] [indent] His failure as a Reaper and his subsequent decline have left him second guessing himself and prone to self-destructive tendencies.[/indent] [*] [b] Internal Conflict [/b] [indent] After his time in the Reaper program, he was conditioned to view his empathy and warmth as a weakness, yet he was never able to purge himself of those emotions. Thus he feels driven to help others when he seems them struggle but also feels doomed to fail whenever he does so. [/indent] [b] Functional Alcoholic [/b] [indent] While on the job he maintains an aura of professionalism but in the downtime, he finds solace in the bottle. While he is capable of resisting it while working, downtime sober will start to tear away at him. [/indent] [b] A Few Cogs Short [/b] [indent] While good with a weapon or his hands, when faced with an engineering or technological based challenge he’s as useful as a priest in a brothel. His idea of a technological solution is a bullet into a control panel.
