[color=lightblue][b]GIFT :[/b][/color] [u]Cybernetic Suit[/u] [hider=Zector]Stemming from a small and metallic device bonded to his body that was codenamed "Project Zector", Gabe uses it to transform himself into an armored, almost machine-like version of himself. The suit is durable, able to render most small caliber gunfire harmless against it. Larger caliber bullets can disrupt or penetrate the suit's defenses but only if aimed at the right locations. The Zector is equipped with two primary weapons, the Z-Blade and Z-Cannon, one of which is a superheated metallic blade whose heat allows to cut through most defenses, equipped to the left arm and extends outward like a wrist-mounted sword blade; the cannon is plasma-firing projectile weapon that the right arm appears to shape-shift into via some form of nanotechnology. A pair of rods can extend outward like long shoulder blades and can provide jet-engine like thrust for flight and hovering. The heat energy that fires from the exhaust gives it almost winged appearance. The suit's head unit is equipped with a shaded visor for concealing the user's face and is able to provide useful tactical HUD information as well. The suit is largely sky blue in color, but with dark oceanic and indigo blue trimmings to accent it. While transformed, the Zector's user can lift between 1 and 1.5 tons, or push or drag a maximum of 2 tons.[/hider] [color=lightblue][b]Gift Limitations[/b][/color] [u]Unknown Tech[/u] The origin of the Zector is largely unknown. The only person who had any knowledge of its workings or where it came from is now dead. Unfortunately, this means that Gabe is not always able to utilize the Zector's power to its fullest extent. [u]Transformation-Based[/u] Because the user needs to fully transform in order to wield the Zector, it renders Gabe no less vulnerable to conventional attacks than any other normal person when he's not armored up. The transformation is also not instantaneous and a smart enough foe might find an opening to attack before it can be completed. [color=lightblue][b]Skills:[/b][/color] Before being bonded to the Zector, Gabe was an accomplished track and field competitor at his school. In addition, he was working part-time at a mechanic shop and thus has some skill at fixing up common vehicles like cars and bikes. [color=lightblue][b]Brief History :[/b][/color] The story doesn't really begin with Gabe. Instead it actually begins with his father, Gerald Scott. Gerald worked as an R&D specialist in a company called ArcSystems, incidentally a subsidiary of LexCorp. Gerald was the lead researcher on a team that had discovered a mysterious metal object found buried in an Arizona desert. Believed to have fallen from space, the earliest speculation was an alien origin. Gerald studied the object tirelessly, later having dubbed it the "Zector" due to the mysterious Z-shaped insignia carved into it. And it was also Gerald who bonded with the metal object and was the first to experience the transformation. Through all this, Gerald had been spending more and more time at work and less at home. This had begun to put a strain on his relationship to his son Gabe. Gabe was an only child, and his mother had passed away due to Leukemia a few years ago. The two were all the other had, and Gerald's increasing interest and time spent spent with the Zector had made Gabe begin to feel estranged from his own dad. Still, the time ended up paying off for the research, as Gerald had discovered the two primary weapons used by the Zector. By now his superiors had gained an interest in replicating the strange object, hoping to manufacture their own version of it that could be sold a as new advanced weapon system to the US Military. But then the incident happened. On one late evening, while experimenting with the Zector, something came screaming down from the sky and cut its way right into the research facility. It was armored, looking eerily similar to Gerald's transformed state, but clearly not a human in the suit. Without words it went on the attack, wiping out security many researchers. Gerald attempted to stop it using the Zector, but whatever this was it outclassed him by a large margin. That is until the Zector began acting of its own accord. Early on, Gerald had discovered a sentient entity within the Zector, though he was never able to determine if it was just an AI some form of alien life. That entity, whom Gerald had nicknamed "Z" had taken control of Gerald's transformed body and began to fight much more evenly against the intruder. The resulting battle was so intense the two combatants leveled the entire ArcSystems building in their wake. As it happened, Gabe had come to the ArcSystems building, intending to catch a ride home with his father. And like everyone else there, he too was caught up in the crossfire of the sudden battle. In the end, the Zector managed to defeat the intruder, but Gerald had become mortally wounded throughout the encounter. Gabe had also become severely injured in the fallout of the attack as well, and both father and son lay gravely injured nearby one another. "B...bond with him..." Gerald had said between painful breaths. "You've been mortally wounded, the suit is what's keeping you alive and will allow you to recover. If I sever the bond now... you'll die." "I don't... care... what happens to me." said Gerald, "Please... save him... save my son." "...As you wish." The Zector unbound itself from Gerald, who used the last of his strength to move it over to Gabe so that it bond to him. The Zector transformed Gabe and began talking with Gerald through Gabe's body. "That attack. It may not be the last, there could be more." "Then... protect... my son..." Z and Gerald had developed something of a partnership in the time Gerald spent researching the Zector. Z seemed to feel that he owed Gerald a favor after giving his life that night so that the intruder could be stopped. And so Z agreed, and has remained bonded with Gabe even now. That was a year ago, and while Gabe has slowly begun to get the hang of using the Zector, he knows very little about it. And his dad, the one man who could tell him more about it, was gone. ArcSystems was never rebuilt, apparently someone higher up in LexCorp had decided it was not worth spending the resources on, at least not yet.[/hider]
