[CHAR] The Variable Project: VECTOR

To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.

Name:
Andrade, Raul

Age:
35.

Sex:
Male.

Biography:
Born amid the wealth and riches of Minas Gerais, Brazil, Raul Andrade was a close, if measured, acquaintance of privilege. The latest son of a line of government officials and media personalities alike, his father was a Coronel of the state police, a position he gained entirely through nepotism, like his own father before him. The boons of name and blood had dulled his father’s pride, and ensured that he knew the idea of ‘merit’ only as a fleeting shadow. Raul Andrade would come to know the influence of nepotism differently, only in the sense that it made him an outsider, an observer.

And as an observer, Raul was endlessly studious, and even prodigious. Inserted into the state military police, he demonstrated an aptitude for civil service and enforcement alike. He became a vaunted member of the BOPE, a world-class exponent of urban warfare.

Born PK-capable, yet never formally initiated into the world of constants and variables, Raul was nonetheless approached for his talent as an operative.

Personality:
Raul is deliberation incarnate. Every thought carefully weighted, and every word measured, delivered at half-speed with perfect enunciation. He operates within his own pace, thorough and cunning in equal measure, preferring deft solutions over explosive measures. His choice of tempo lends itself towards what appears to be a general dispassion and disconnect, although Raul is, more accurately, simply adept at framing the darkest happenings in pragmatic contexts, accepting that matters of the near past are significant only as frameworks for what comes next.

Endlessly courteous, Raul is cordial if not particularly emotive, and rather forgiving in his interactions with colleagues and comrades.

Name :
Gwynt, Oliver

Age :
19

Sex :
Male

Biography :
Before joining VECTOR, Oliver Gwynt, known only as “Ollie” to his former associates, lived in a ruined neighbourhood of old Glasgow, which was destroyed by a corrupted constant as the record will recall, several years prior to our estimate of his age. He seemed to have been living with a rather troublesome group who have, if nothing else, done a proper job preparing an agent for us. While his telekinetic abilities are sub-par for our standards in terms of raw power, he has demonstrated a fine control and speed when manipulating smaller objects, which we attribute to his membership of the aforementioned troublesome group.

[For the sake of clarity, the following considers what Mr Gwynt has told us as fact]

Mr Gwynt, then only Oliver, doesn’t seem to have a clear recollection of where he was before he was adopted into this group. From what we understand, this group had some dealings somewhat more lethal than purse snatching. Oliver has explained in length several of the jobs he was assigned to carry out, which appears to be the only time he would leave the group’s shelter. Up until he turned 15, he had been working as asked of him, but he had “cleaned house,” so to speak, at that point. We discovered their base of operations on that day, assuming the sightings were referring to a low-rated corrupt. However, we instead found the young boy and the corpses of his “employers,” so to speak, as well as his fellow “employees,” riddled with knives during the night, in their sleep. He hasn’t been very open about why he has chose to do such a thing, but he has been quite cooperative with us all the same.

We had him monitored in an academy that could help foster some skill for our cause. After he came of age, he trained at VECTOR’s own academy, just up until recently.

Personality :
While he has shown that he has the skills to be useful for VECTOR, Oliver isn’t the most agreeable person. While he doesn’t seem to mean ill, he has a tendency to annoy some with a rather blatant disregard of others’ feelings at times. He doesn’t appear to understand why some of the things he says would cause someone offense, or at the very least bother them. While at times he can be conscious of these things, his rather happy-go-lucky manner isn’t particularly fitting for certain topics of conversation at VECTOR’s academy.

Unfortunately, his anti-social behaviour doesn’t extend to a complete lack of empathy, which would have probably been quite a bit more convenient. Nonetheless, he doesn’t appear to have a problem with what the job entails, which is not quite surprising, considering his work in the aforementioned group.
