[hider=The Firebrand][color=crimson][b]Name[/b]:[/color] "Ronin"; no other name given [color=crimson][b]Age/Race/Gender[/b]:[/color] 45/Human cyborg/Male [color=crimson][b]Appearance[/b]:[/color] [hider=Appearance][img]https://i.pinimg.com/736x/78/0d/20/780d20c327d5b4c59f7ce9e6110d0c08.jpg[/img][/hider] [color=crimson][b]Occupation[/b]:[/color] Mercenary, bounty hunter, assassin [color=crimson][b]Weapons[/b]:[/color] Muramasa-class combat blade, Himawari (Sunflower); "Prominence" Plasma Wreath system installed. [color=crimson][b]Armor[/b]:[/color] [hider=Armor][img]https://i.pinimg.com/736x/10/16/db/1016dbd92e41839de875bd02d564432b--armor-concept-concept-art.jpg[/img][/hider] [i]"Black Hawk" Hi-Mobility Combat Armor-[/i] Light, mobility-focused combat hardsuit; ballistic weave capable of stopping most small-arms fire, but weak to higher caliber/laser weaponry. Built-in HUD allows for visibility enhancements and IFF-targeting in all scenarios. [color=crimson][b]Items[/b]:[/color] [i]Repulsor Drives-[/i] Built into both boots and installed on the shoulder blades of the Black Hawk; designed for short bursts of speed and long/high-altitude jumps. Flexible placement allows for superior maneuverability. [i]Mag Clamps-[/i] Magnetic inserts and clamps built into the Black Hawk's boots and claws to allow running or hanging on metal structures such as walls or even ceilings briefly. [i]Cybernetics (Right Arm)-[/i] Ronin's right arm has been replaced with a cybernetic prosthesis; durable and reinforced for speed and shock, designed to increase draw speed and strike strength. [i]Full Subjectivity Sync-[/i] A series of nerve implants that allow for full integration with the Black Hawk armor, greatly reducing input lag between the pilot's thoughts and the armor's actions, to near-zero levels. [color=crimson][b]Skills[/b]:[/color] Ronin is a master swordsman, extensively trained in both sword-fighting and maintaining his equipment. He is also extremely capable of parkour and traversal techniques, in or out of hardsuit. Has some engineering know-how when it comes to combat tech, having designed Himawari's "Prominence" subsystem, as well as the combat reinforcements on his cyber-arm. He's a fair hand at interrogation, especially where intimidation is involved. [color=crimson][b]Powers[/b]:[/color] [i]Hi-Performance-[/i] An internal psionic discipline. Increases subject's physical speed and strength and/or reflexes and perception to plus-baseline levels in short bursts. Safe usage of enhancement does not last more than a few seconds; trying to force it to continue will cause subject to tear himself apart through exertion (physical), cause headaches and/or even cranial blood vessel trauma through extended use (mental). Cannot be used several times in succession without risking accruing the same penalty. Using both physical and mental enhancements at the same time greatly increases strain on the subject. [color=crimson][b]Combat Class/Role[/b]:[/color] Close-range skirmisher/assassin; Ronin's strategy is to use his superior mobility and hit-and-run tactics to pierce the enemy's defenses and cause chaos on the enemy backline, as well as quickly neutralize priority targets. [color=crimson][b]History[/b]:[/color] From backwoods game hunter to a notorious hunter of men, Ronin has had his share of experience when it comes to taking lives. Experience that, unfortunately, did not save him from recently being caught in a Federation crossfire, barely escaping summary execution, and finding himself with a life sentence in the inescapable Kyln. Defeated, broken, and missing his purpose in life, Ronin settled back for the long haul... ...Until some nice people decided to bust into a supposedly-inescapable prison to bust out their friend, and as many other criminals and cutthroats as they could gather. One of them being Ronin himself, of course. Reacquiring his armor and blade from the prison's "evidence locker," he jumped on board with the Revenant crew and set out for greener pastures. Three months later, despite being part of the most hated crew in the galaxy, he hasn't regretted his decision at all. After all, if it's a choice between dying in a prison cell of malnutrition or old age, and dying in a blaze of glory with Himawari in his hand, well... ...That's not really a choice at all, is it?
