[indent]Small, blonde, green eyed and timid Lucas is a far cry from how he was a few short years ago. Having gotten a little taller and bulked up a lot more, even his almost perpetually nervous expression has been replaced by a normally bored frown or bloodthirsty smirk in the heat of battle along with some light stubble on his chin and neck. Lucas even no longer wears the fighting outfits that were several sizes too large for him, instead wearing a pair of jeans, white sneakers and a form fitting white T-shirt. Over it he wears a olive green jacket with the sleeves pushed up to his elbows, on the back of the jacket displays a tiger clawing towards the viewer. He still wears his old handwraps but also dons a forehead covering red bandanna, a memento from his time in Japan.[/indent][/indent]

[indent]Lucas, justifiably so, is confident in his own abilities by this point but his shy yet endearing personality is mostly gone. Unless it's someone he knows quite well he is very often crass and disrespectful. Sometimes it is to goad people into a fight for his own entertainment, others it is just simply because he seems to lack a filter, not mincing words to even the most threatening of opponent.

Another obvious shift in Lucas' personality is his increased blood knight tenancies. While not to the level of attacking people at random and outright disgusted at the prospect of picking a fight with those who can't defend themselves, he relishes facing strong opponents. Regardless on whether he wins or loses he will eagerly agree to a fight if the challenger interests him, however due to his increase in skill, most regular opponents do not.

In spite of what the above two traits may have you believe, Lucas is usually pretty low key, if somewhat bored during normal everyday existence. No matter his mood he usually adopts a "go with the flow" mentality on most things and doesn't see the point in pontificating on the mysteries of life and philosophical debates. What you see with Lucas is usually what you get.[/indent][/indent]

[indent]Lucas Miller could, charitably, be considered the joke character among the notable people both trained fighter and not. A shy, timid, stuttering and under-confident youth effectively dragged into the Nomad lifestyle from his overbearing father "Showtime" Perry Miller. In spite of this, Lucas had something resembling potential, namely his well meaning nature granting him unlikely friendships and his untapped reserve of ki. There was another, much less obvious, aspect that Lucas had going for him. As he would later discover during the initial attack from Oh-One in Brazil, Lucas was born not as a mortal but a half-demon. His 'father' Perry was merely the latest fling of his disappeared mother. Lucas was an unknown pregnancy from his mother's meeting with a certain demon known as Rosier LeVai.

This information either awoke or broke something within Lucas. His life, while painful humiliating and often unwanted, was never complicated. He knew who he was and where he stood even if he didn't necessarily care for it. The realisation seemed to enforce to Lucas that he was more alone than previously thought, sparking several notable changes in his character. Namely that his stutter seemed to fade away and his meek but ultimately kind manner blunted and shifted to one more belligerent and even aggressive depending on the person. As the main, strong and respected heroes followed Oh-One, Lucas quietly left for Japan to train with the legendary Yokos. Finally having the desire to fight and honing his skills.

The training was torturous and seemingly endless but with each day Lucas shed bad habits and unlocked a new layer in his potential, though he kept his heritage close to his chest. His quick progress did not make him ready in time to face Oh-One in Antarctica however, he watched the mechanical monstrosity be defeated, barely, in a smoky tavern in the nearby village on TV. Silently angry at himself for not being there and the lengths his friends went to in order to vanquish the machine. His resolve did not waver however and Lucas continued to devote himself to training, though he took better care to send letters to his friends either congratulating them or wishing them a speedy recovery. Notably, he only ever sent one letter to his father Perry, merely letting him know he was doing fine and a projected time on when he'd be back.

The training seemed to both help and hinder Lucas as he boarded the plane to return to the States. On one hand he was at least more jovial, still not taking himself or anyone else all that seriously but with a far greater degree of self confidence but it coupled this with a sharp degree in arrogance and did nothing to remove his ever growing violent tendencies and thrill for a fight, nor did it aid the conflict and inner turmoil Lucas continued to feel.

Instead of returning to his home in Philadelphia, Lucas instead took the flight to Gold City where he resides currently. Paying rent and living with his friends the Breicen sisters the recently recovered Jill and Jasmine, whom Lucas has quietly had a crush on for over a year now. There were also a few... More than awkward, meetings with his biological parent Rosier and his half-brother Isabella. Lucas kept his father Perry in the loop of all this sans the fact that his biological parent lived in the same city as him but their interactions were stilted and forced. Another wedge driven between Lucas and someone close to him, for all his faults.

At present, despite his astronomical leap in strength, Lucas has pretty much been taking it easy since returning to the U.S. Keeping the apartment clean while Jill finished the last of her physical therapy and paying the rent via his job at the Tomato Convenience Store and competing in the nearby fighting tournaments where he routinely slaughters the competition. Only serving to further Lucas' spaced out and unmotivated worldview, but when news of Brooklyn Vanburen's disappearance reaches him, Lucas quite possibly finally finds a way to make up for not being there to stop Oh-One, and the possibility for him to finally cut loose.

Could be a fun ride, could totally suck. So what is he to say? Let's see how far we can take this![/indent][/indent]

[indent]Training with the Yokos, Lucas is honed in the way of the samurai and adept at a few different martial arts. In contrast to his trainer, Lucas prefers to use his fists and feet instead of a weapon, usually flipping his offence between Krav Maga, Sambo and even adopting some American pro wrestling in his grapples. As evidenced by his choice in styles, Lucas strikes are often brutal yet quick, either to debilitate foes outright or drop them on their head. 

Years of being a joke and punching bag has also honed Lucas' tolerance for pain, he always had extraordinary toughness as one thing going for him even when he wasn't a very skilled fighter but now that he has combined it with strong offensive capabilities he makes for an incredibly deadly foe. Being the bastard son of a demon has enabled him to even tap into more mystical and demonic strength beyond his ki but it is not a skill he likes to use or even cultivate, meaning it only sees slight use in his style.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■   Written In Blue[/colour][/b][/u]
[indent]
[i]"Go!"[/i]
A much stronger version of Lucas' previously pathetic fireball. Lucas holds a palm up into the air, summoning a crackling ball of blue ki, before clenching his fist and throwing it forward. The ki ball will then quickly home towards the target even if they move. Holding his hand up for longer can summon up to four ki balls to launch. Even when firing one ball however the start up is a few seconds longer than a regular projectile so its use lies more in drawing targets back in or keeping up pressure from a distance.[/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■   Dragon Drop[/colour][/b][/u]
[indent]
[i]"Fuckhead!"[/i]
A powerful but precise counter elbow strike. Right before an opponent attacks, Lucas can parry or hit through their attack with a bone shattering elbow assault to send them flying, if their attack still lands then damage on Lucas is halved. The timing on this move is strict however so Lucas must be in a relatively calm state of mind to reliably pull it off and naturally the opponent must be in striking distance.[/indent][/indent]
[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■   Brutal Tiger[/colour][/b][/u]
[indent]
[i]"All yours!"[/i]
A flying kick that hurtles Lucas forward a decent distance which, while also quite damaging, can enable him to close the gap more easily in a fight.[/indent][/indent]
[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■   Duncan Style Super Piledriver[/colour][/b][/u]
[indent]
[i]"Lets get airborne!"[/i]
Lucas grabs an opponent by their legs and yanks them to the floor then uses his strength to pick them up by the waist, finally jumping into the air and dropping the opponent headfirst onto the floor.[/indent][/indent]
[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■   Million Crack Fist[/colour][/b][/u]
[indent]
[i]"ATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA! BREAKDOWN!"[/i]
Lucas kicks an opponent's legs out from under them and then knocks them upwards before delivering a series of extremely rapid fire punches at the falling opponent. Lucas claims he actually throws one million strikes in this move but despite its impressive speed it's more likely somewhere in the three hundred range.[/indent][/indent]
[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■   Ki Chest Caving One Inch Strike[/colour][/b][/u]
[indent]
[i]"SCUM!"[/i]
With a jumping knee to the head, Lucas sends the opponent staggering back and exposing their chest, he then places the fingertips of his open hand against the centre of their chest as his hand shakes and glows a pale blue. Lucas then strikes with a devastating one inch punch that explodes in a wave of blue ki and sends the opponent hurling backwards. If the distance is close enough it can send enemies through walls for extra damage.[/indent][/indent]
[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■   Essence Of Dark Step[/colour][/b][/u]
[indent]
[i]"Woosh~"[/i]
A basic but extremely useful move that allows Lucas to do up to four short range dashes in any direction, allowing Lucas to reposition, dodge attacks or projectiles or even get behind opponents depending on their position.[/indent][/indent]
[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■   ARMageddon[/colour][/b][/u]
[indent]
[i]"Start takin' notes, Junior!"[/i]
A throw reversal where Lucas delivers a vicious headbutt to the opponent to stun their grip before hooking their arms above their head and delivering a double underhook suplex. While still holding on to one arm after dropping them to the floor Lucas transitions into an armbar for extra damage until voluntarily released or broken out of by the opponent.[/indent][/indent]
[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■   Psycho Killer[/colour][/b][/u]
[indent]
[i]"I LIVE FOR THIS SHIT! I'm absolutely [b]CRAZY[/b] about it!"[/i]
Delivering two strikes to his own face, Lucas lets the thrill of battle spike his adrenaline as his fists glow a fiery blue, his speed and attack is increased for a short duration.[/indent][/indent]
[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■   Meteor Face Breaking Kick[/colour][/b][/u]
[indent]
[i]"Lock and load!"[/i]
Lucas leaps into the air and hones in on a target on the ground delivering a brutal vertical stomp, Lucas does this three times but can cancel out of it with a backflip if need be.[/indent][/indent]
[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■   Sex Pistols Suplexes[/colour][/b][/u]
[indent]
[i]"You can't escape!"[/i]
Dashing behind his opponent and wrapping his arms around their waist, Lucas lifts up an opponent regardless of size and drops them on their head with a german suplex, rolling through and delivering three additional suplexes.[/indent][/indent]
[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■   Unknown Pleasures[/colour][/b][/u]
[indent]
[i]"Vein's are burnin' red..."[/i]
Tapping into his demonic blood, Lucas specials glow purple instead of blue and do increased damage, this action also gives his ki time to recharge while its in use. After use it takes a bit of time before Lucas can use it again.[/indent][/indent]
[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■   Spirit Aura Crash Technique[/colour][/b][/u]
[indent]
[i]"Boom!"[/i]
A special that can be used during any normal combo or certain special attacks, Lucas body glows a pale blue and his final attack pauses for a second before striking with increased damage and a blast of ki for extra concussive force. While charging Lucas can shrug off most normal attacks but the slight charge time means the move is better used to end combos.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent][u][colour=Gold][b]■   Face//Off[/b][/colour][/u]
[indent]
[i]"COME OUT, TIGER!"[/i]
No more pussy shit. A white and blue tiger charges out from Lucas' chest and begins to sprint around him and the opponent at an incredible speed, creating an impromptu arena ring around the combatants. Opponents attempting to leave the ring will be clawed back into it for massive damage. This also applies to opponents attempting to leave vertically as the tiger will pause its speed to leap incredible distances and drag the opponent back onto the floor, forcing a one on one confrontation. The opponent must already be close enough for it to be counted as part of the arena however, and the above dangers technically also apply to Lucas. Though given... How he is, he's unlikely to try and bail unless knocked into the ring.[/indent][/indent]
[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Gold]■   Devil Trigger[/colour][/b][/u]
[indent]
[i]"I'm the one... With [b]power[/b]"[/i]
An ability with great potential, but even its current state isn't to be scoffed at. Lucas, somewhat, embraces the demonic power residing with him. Providing a sharp increase to his speed, range and attack power. While he loses access to most of his ki centred moves he gains a few new ones, including the ability to use his demonic arm for incredible feats of strength which ups the danger of his grabs and throws, as well as faster moving and more volatile purple orbs of energy to fire from his hands. This mode will also slowly heal Lucas over time.

In this mode Lucas, due to still rejecting and refusing to hone his power, has an 'incomplete' look to him. Only his right arm bares much resemblance to the shadowy demonic looks seen by Rosier and Isabella. Beyond this, Lucas eyes glow a deep purple and his hair turns snow white, making him slightly more resemble his biological father and half-brother.[/indent][/indent]
[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Gold]■   Byakko[/colour][/b][/u]
[indent]
[i]"[Tiger's Roar]"[/i]
An ultra that can only be utilised while Lucas has DT'd, Lucas forgoes his incomplete devil form to merge his untapped demonic power with his massive amounts of ki, becoming Byakko, a giant white Bengal tiger wreathed in blue flames. In spite of its size, Byakko is deadly fast, able to swipe with its claws and use its teeth almost as fast as a regular opponent can strike. Its size allows it to leap great distances as well as access to a roar ability that can stun most humanoid enemies for a moment if they are close enough.[/indent][/indent]

[indent]Lucas has grown beyond considerably in comparison to how he used to be as a fighter. He is an absolute beast in close combat and his always impressive durability has improved to enable him to take massive amounts of punishment. While he is a, self described, fighting machine, he is by no means flawless. Lucas really struggles against enemies with great mobility, particularly ones who can get airborne, while he has some options to help him out against mostly ground based enemies, he's much more lacking against flying opponents, only able to really use Written In Blue which has a chance for him to be attacked while it charges, or Face//Off which as a super, takes a lot out of him and requires the opponent be close enough for it to entrap them.

Lucas also has issues against ranged opponents. He can tank most of their offence and is fast enough to be on the move and get close but again, he doesn't have too many options to return fire short of catching them.

Lastly on the psychological side, Lucas has access to devastating abilities and has many answers for close range fighters, but some abilities, such as his parries, require a degree of focus and precision to pull off reliably, others actively play into his blood knight tendencies and make him even more chaotic in a fight. While this can be good to keep an enemy on their toes it can also trip up Lucas if his eyes are bigger than his stomach and he overshoots, locking himself off from useful techniques when he needs them until he gets his head back in the game.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent]■ Since returning from Japan, Lucas has been banned from Neogaf a further two times

■ In spite of his closeness with the Breicen household and his love of Shonen schlocky fighting based anime and shows, Lucas dark secret is that he's not really into the Justice Rider show all that much. But, at this point, he's pretended to be into it for so long that he's too afraid to come clean.

■ Lucas has somewhat created his own prophecy. Proclaiming that on the day he meets his greatest opponent he will let loose his headband and engage in the greatest fight the world has ever seen. Jasmine just thinks he stole this from a movie.

■ Lucas is pretty camera shy, recording him with a video camera is one of the very few instances where his stutter returns.[/indent][/indent][/hider]

[indent]Voyt casts an unwelcoming and quiet figure, Voyt is trim with obvious muscle definition. His exposed arms and face carry faded but still noticeable scarring from battles won and lost. Voyt’s dirty blonde hair hangs down to his neck and is often unkempt as is his beard which is usually shaved down to a shadow but comes off patchy from carrying the odd scarring across Voyt’s jaw.

Despite his standoffish appearance and demeanour however, Voyt’s outfit is quite striking. Consisting of an old west gunslinger inspired get-up complete with a dark brown stetson hat that has a bandolier of bullets wrapped around the base. A tattered dark brown poncho that hangs off the back of Voyt’s left side like a cape, a faded blue shirt with the top two buttons undone and a dark brown and black bandanna wrapped around his neck to be pulled up and used when concealing his identity on the job. He has a protective vest over his shirt and brown thigh and leg guards over a pair of dusty black pants, accompanied of course with two holsters for his revolvers. Completing the ensemble is a pair of black cowboy boots with silver tips and rusty bronze spurs.[/indent][/indent]

[indent]Voyt is a professional to an almost robotic degree, rarely holding any personal ill feelings towards his targets or even expressing much emotion in his face and voice even when, by his own admission, someone has pissed him off. All of this extends to him on the job however where he is not more beyond a machine seeking to eliminate his target and then be on his way, how he is outside of his job is... Harder to pin down. Those that "know" Voyt could probably sum him up as quiet, prickly and antisocial, often keeping to himself and displaying nothing but cold clinical indifference to both his allies and enemies. But inwardly Voyt is somewhat conflicted, knowing he can't really blame his actions on his past and at times even wondering about the possibility of things being different in another time. He is even capable of genuine altruism and kindness though hardly open about it, one of these such acts being what led to his spat with The League Of Bounty Hunters and necessitating his allying with MIRAGE.

Otherwise the only humanising trait of his known to people is his deadpan sarcastic delivery towards the insanity someone like him often encounters.[/indent][/indent]

[indent]Subject Thirteen was, for all intents and purposes, a complete success. Several biological scientists and DNA experts exiled from governments and black projects alike had pooled their knowledge together in an effort to create life, namely the perfect soldier. With intents to sell this specimen to the highest bidder or even form their own PMC group via cloning and reclaim their lost status. The scientists had collected the DNA (through questionable means and contacts) of numerous decorated soldiers. One had the idea to also imbue the subject with the DNA of various legends of the Old West, primarily because these were records and small samples that their contacts could supply at a much easier and faster rate than members of the military. After years of delicate trials and twelve failures. They succeeded.

Nicknamed Voyt - the initials of the four head scientists' second names - they set to work in shaping their creation to be well versed in all forms of firearm based combat, which he naturally excelled in. Though perhaps due to the DNA used, their subject showed a particular fascination & fondness for revolvers, lever action rifles, shotguns and other Old West based weaponry. Their creation was unfeasible when attempting to create a fully grown adult, so instead they created an infant, monitoring his hastened life every step of the way to ensure he displayed the aptitude they desired until his ageing slowed when he matured, he excelled past their expectations. They fostered their subject's brutal efficiency with a myriad of drugs, shock reinforcement and live human targets. The closer, it seemed, their dream became, the more unethical their practices would become. Until, one unknown day, their subject snapped and found the will and opportunity to escape. Cutting a bloody swathe through the facility and its guards until he hunted down and killed every last scientist involved in his creation, leaving the four overseers to last. Despite his younger age, Voyt had indeed passed his creator’s desires and was far too much for their security or intellects to stop.


No one is quite sure exactly when the Gunslinger mercenary began operating, but when he started, there were few better. Demonstrating a cold efficiency above even other assassins, Voyt's gun-slinging wizardry was in high demand. Whilst always being extremely proficient with his weaponry, Voyt soon discovered what he found out to be ki, during a contract he had somehow imbued his inner ki into one of his guns, able to fire it endlessly. From that point on Voyt learned all he could about his new skill, apparently it flowed through all living things and having the DNA of some of the most prolific killers gave Voyt a very good grasp of it. At present Voyt has enough of a handle on ki to which he can stand against other martial artists, monsters, supernatural beings and all manner of things alien to regular people using only his guns and guile, which he does with alarming efficiency. Voyt very quickly raised his prices.

It has been years since Voyt began his career. Killing many who have been deserving, and many who have not. Mentally Voyt consistently feels an inward conflict in himself, he did not set out to be a killer but he also never stopped, never tried to stop himself from falling further and further down or growing beyond the purpose for which he was created. His thoughts trouble him greatly but he cannot seem to allow himself to change and external factors have only sent him drifting from place to place after a... 'heated' disagreement with the League Of Bounty Hunters. Thus, Voyt continues onwards in his tormented journey to the next big spending employer.

[indent]Voyt is, as his look would suggest, a gunman. Theoretically he can efficiently use almost any ranged weapon put in his hands or in a pinch turn ordinary items into lethal weaponry - if it can be thrown, Voyt is dangerous with it. His most comfortable method of ranged warfare however are his pair of heavily customised black powder single action army revolvers. Imbued with his ki, these guns can fire an endless stream of bullets at the - often very durable - nomads Voyt regularly faces. Voyt is also fast, very very fast. Quick on the draw and quick on the feet, if you want to return fire or get up close and personal with Voyt it’s going to take some effort. While his ki heavily expands his incredible aim and speed, he utilises them for all manner of impossible or impractical techniques like ricochets and trick shots. Finishing out his kit are sticks of dynamite wrapped around his waist for those times you want to blow something up and a sawed off shotgun which fires shrapnel that lodges itself in a nomad’s skin since ordinary slugs won’t quite penetrate it.

Although no martial artist Voyt can fight close quarters if the need arises, but would preferably have his guns or any ranged weaponry in his hands to strike with or for explosive finishes to his combos. As an experienced hitman, Voyt can analyse an opponents styles and strategies the longer a fight goes on, it’s no scanning that the Oh series robots are capable of but assuming Voyt survives long enough and the opponent has any, Voyt will find their weak spots.[/indent][/indent]

The red charged shots flying out in a wide spread and are able to tear through buildings and people alike. Voyt being damaged can knock him out of this move early[/indent][/indent]

Voyt’s eyes burn red as he holsters one gun and fires the other. A dramatic zoom on the bullet reveals the name of his opponent slowly burn into the side as the bullet wreathes itself in a large red and white flame. The bolt of energy will blast clean through anything it touches and follows where Voyt wills it to go for several moments as Voyt is able, once Voyt loses the will to control it further, it will travel for several more feet in whatever direction it was facing before burning out, still ripping right through all in its path.[/indent][/indent]

[indent]Voyt’s a competent brawler and his strikes are enough to deal with rank and file attackers but they are very ill advised against nomads. Further, while Voyt’s speed and damage output are incredibly high, if he is without a gun or even anything he can throw, his options in a fight become severely limited. Lastly, Voyt can withstand greater amounts of punishment than the average combatant but he is no powerhouse and relies on dodging rather than tanking blows more than most characters.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent]■ Voyt regularly keeps a journal, sometimes locking himself away for hours or even days to fill it in.

■ Voyt being possibly the least talkative member of the cast, aside from those that physically can't speak, has led to him being misidentified by clients several times as a mute. Much to his chagrin.

■ Voyt is evasive about where his desire to actively emulate old west gunslingers actually came from. Considering almost no one knows about his origins (save those that can identify his artificial nature) they just assume it's a style choice.

■ Voyt has rejected five separate interview attempts from SHINING[/indent][/indent][/hider]

[indent]Cain, to put it politely, immediately resembles a corpse prepared for burial that up and walked out of the casket. Cain’s build is emaciated and his skin is borderline chalk white, along with dark bags under his eyes and long messy black hair adding to his wraithlike appearance. His face carries numerous blackened scars along with a particularly nasty gash along the left side of his mouth exposing his teeth and jaw underneath and giving him a permanent 'grimace'. These scars and markings are far more prevalent around his body which is part of the reason he often wears long coats when travelling outside.

Cain’s attire is relatively simple. Dark grey hoodie under a dark brown trenchcoat, the hood raised to cover his face when out in public. Dark grey combat fatigues and black combat boots complete with shin guards no doubt part of his old uniform in MIRAGE completing the look.[/indent][/indent]

[indent]In spite of his unsettling reputation, look and abilities, Cain himself is often quiet and polite. Even bordering on friendly towards those he's close with. The real point of contention however is his tendency to act as something of judge jury and executioner in regards to any criminal, corporate or otherwise, Cain encounters during his tracking of MIRAGE. Unlike his ally Jill, Cain is unaffiliated with any group, and unlike the rest of his allies, Cain is still very much active outside of trivial things like tournaments, making him technically more of a vigilante than a Nomad. He takes pride in what he does, for better and for worse, in his mind no one who hasn't deserved it has died by his hand but when he decides someone does deserve it, it is nigh impossible to stay his hand.

The other major point of contention is his disgust for all things relating to MIRAGE, MAVERICK included. Since after Oh-One, most of his friends are trying to move on with their lives and keep their heads down, Cain technically works alone and is often the most anti-social of the group. Though he has enough loyalty to them all to come to their aid should they figure out a way to actually contact him.

In general, his revelations of himself and MIRAGE have ruined and warped many pieces of Cain's ideology. Though well meaning, he is too obsessed with avoiding "half measures" and of course with stopping MIRAGE. His former optimism, while still making him approve of benevolent actions and kindness, has shed itself. One could even make the argument that he's not really all that different from how he was while being manipulated in MIRAGE, still carrying an extreme "ends justify the means" mentality. Something not all that dissimilar to Abel...[/indent][/indent]

[indent]Adam Vrbata had dedicated his life to the cause.

Coming from an, to him, unacceptably unambitious father and naive brother. He had dreamed of impacting the world for the better, of making a difference. Though not much to write home about as a fighter, his unquenchable desire for improvement and drive led him from The Army Of The Czech Republic to MAVERICK and eventually to MIRAGE once word of his pull on others and peerless mental fortitude reached Abel’s ears.

Adam was easily taken in by Abel’s spiel. Protecting the world itself from something greater than nomads had him apply himself more than ever before. Studying under Abel’s tutelage and going from a dime a dozen pointman to a trusted operative. While no nomad, Adam engrained himself as a valuable asset to MIRAGE’s goals. But to someone devoted to a cause already, an understudy equally as devoted and loyal is still only a tool.

Adam found himself heavily wounded after leading an operation that would distract forces from a raid Abel’s team would be conducting, the armed response being more than they had anticipated and managing to chip away at MIRAGE’s robotic forces. The rest of Adam’s team were wiped out, Adam himself only barely clinging to life when his body was recovered by Abel’s team to ensure he wouldn’t be taken alive for interrogation.

Abel stood over his would be protege and offered him a chance. He could guarantee no miracle, but there was a project they were experimenting with that may allow Adam to continue his service, albeit in a more direct form. Unwilling to die pointlessly, Adam agreed.

The experiment was one Abel had been testing in small doses both within MAVERICK and MIRAGE. A new type of operative that could be mass used as needed and quickly turn any soldier into a beyond equal match for a nomad. A type of phantom that could heal wounds, hit with devastating force and utilise abilities outside the realm of ki or magic. All while still being under control with Abel’s desires. It was thought Adam, if he survived, with his tireless devotion and loyalty would be the perfect first candidate. Stabilized and still holding on, Adam underwent the procedure.

And died. Violently. Whatever had been concocted that would allow his body to perform these incredible feats instead tore him apart, burning his flesh and melting through his insides. Those in charge of the project, including Abel himself, watched as their prototype turned quite literally to ash.

The project was scrapped and discarded and forgotten.

Adam Vrabata’s mundane family disappeared one day. Friends and neighbours fed clues that the thought of losing their beloved son to a rogue nomad while under MAVERICK had been too great a stress to bare that they moved far away from their home country and never looked back.

Adam Vrbata’s name was expunged from every record that carried it. No loose ends.

Yet, the project had not failed completely. What remained of Adam Vrbata within the bowels of the project facility began to restructure itself, flawed but whole, Adam Vrbata walked again. MIRAGE forces were quickly called to the scene and slaughtered by abilities promised by and foreign to the project’s original intention, every ounce of force thrown at Vrbata would destroy him only for him to reconstitute himself moments later and continue the onslaught.

Eventually, he tore right through and escaped into the horizon. Lost and confused, he could feel no cold or warmth or rain against his skin, food no longer had any taste. He still felt the agony of his injuries. Worst of all, he had been exposed repeatedly to the fact that his actions with MIRAGE were never as noble as previously thought. He found he could not justify the atrocities he had allowed to be committed as casualties of war. All he had given, and all Abel and MIRAGE had taken.

Living mostly as a vagrant in the intervening years after his change, Adam drifted from place to place merely trying to forget his own existence, however in Brazil when the mechanical monster Oh-One threatened the destruction of all life, Adam could not hold himself to his passive existence any longer. Stewing in hatred towards Abel and the injustices Adam allowed himself to commit, he took on the name Cain and aided the various nomads in tracking and stopping Oh-One. After vanquishing him, Cain was in favour of destroying the power stone somehow but was placated enough by the idea of it remaining in the hands of someone trusted as opposed to any groups such as MAVERICK.

Since then, Cain has largely had little to no contact with any of the other Nomads he fought with, mostly sticking to the shadows and searching to uncover information on MIRAGE wherever he can. As well as taking the law into his own hands as a notoriously brutal and feared vigilante. His string of murders eventually reaches Gold City, where he hears news of the sudden disappearance of Brooklyn Van Buren...[/indent][/indent]

[indent]Once a soldier trained in rifles, automatic weapons and close quarters combat, Cain has long since disbanded his old skillset in favour of his new one. Cain is, in many ways, a living ghost. His body can reconstitute itself after a time from fatal injuries even from being crushed or disintegrated to nothing, though this will take longer for him to resurrect, none the less he will always come back sometime later. He is able to break his body down at will and move at blindingly fast distances to act as a teleport and faster means of travel when moving and his body can twist and disfigure itself in strange ways to deliver pummelling blows to opponents.

Cain is deadly fast and extremely hard hitting, while hardly an experienced nomad, his abilities belay that of any known form of ki usage or magic, making him difficult for unfamiliar fighters to predict and contend with. His inhuman anatomy has even enabled him to fashion his body into weapons.[/indent][/indent]

[indent]
[i]"Look into my eyes."[/i]
Cain slams the palm of his hand into an opponent's face and pulls them forward, using his strange anatomy to meld his perception of reality with theirs. Sending their senses haywire and causing them to see a warped version of Cain's already warped view of the world and making them hallucinate all manner of strangeness. Most commonly the idea of being attacked by several different Cains at once or complete inversion of their movements. This effect will wear off differently for opponents depending on their will and mental state at the time.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=DarkSlateGray]■   The Beast In Me[/colour][/b][/u]
[indent]
[i]"Už nikdy víc."[/i]
A pair of inky black hands sprout from out of Cain's mouth and splits his body into itself as he grows and twists into a giant jet black monstrosity. Similar in shape to a Golem the size of a double-decker bus, Cain regresses into a beast with his attacks lacking much nuance but being nigh unblockable and destructively powerful. The Beast can leap great distances and has enough presence of mind to use objects such as cars as weapons and to stay its hand against allies. After a few minutes or from sustaining a sufficient amount of damage, The Beast will begin to break apart before dissolving into ash which flies off with the wind, destroying Cain's body for the time being.[/indent][/indent]

[indent]
[i]"Potrestat!"[/i]
An ashy yet stark white vortex swirls around Cain’s body. If he is attacked, the damage will reflect back on to the attacker seven-fold, making this ability lethal if an opponent is unaware of that fact. Cain moves slower while this is active but is still capable of attacking and dealing damage, after a couple of minutes however the vortex will consume and disintegrate Cain's body.[/indent][/indent]

[indent]Cain is very very fast and very very damaging and he cannot truly die, but he is by no means unstoppable. The majority of Cain’s special moves leave him wide open if they miss or are dodged or parried and his fighting style is extremely all or nothing and primarily suited towards singular opponents than larger groups. Further, he’s not a Nomad and gains no benefit of natural ki defense, he can withstand a lot of punishment before dying due to his wraith-like nature but his limbs and body can be torn apart as easily as any other normal human. Additionally, two of Cain’s supers kill him, both of which also fully destroy his body which can take several days before he fully restructures himself to fight again.

Mentally too, in spite of Cain's normally reserved demeanour, he can become downright bloodthirsty in a fight. It is much more pronounced if the person he is fighting is one he takes issue with morally or is related to MIRAGE, meaning though his attacks may be more damaging or downright sadistic, he is more prone to being outwitted or outplayed due to not thinking clearly.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent]■ Enemy and ally alike have noted Cain's stilted and often overly formal manner of speaking. While it adds to Cain's aura overall, the truth is English is not his first language and he's merely not comfortable enough speaking it to use it in a more casual manner. Not that he'll tell anybody that.

■ Despite his hatred for MIRAGE and Abel, he actually still believes in MIRAGE’s goals, or at least the ones he was told about. Though he has come to feel tremendous self-disgust for the actions he participated in in pursuit of those goals.

■ Cain’s senses are muddled. While his hearing is relatively normal, he has difficulties with smell and can no longer taste. His sight often struggles to pick up bright colours which typically defaults into some blurry form of gray. He cannot even feel differences of temperature on his 'skin' regardless of how extreme it may be.[/indent][/indent][/hider]
