[quote=@vancexentan] [hider="Its always been about good business."] Name: John Brown Age 30| Male | Heterosexual Marital Status: Single | Occupation: Mercenary/Ex Corpo Agent | Affiliation: Militech (former) ► Build - Well toned, physically fit, appears mostly human with little sign of augmentation. ► Ethnicity - Caucasian ► Hair Colour - Black ► Eye Colour - hazel ► Other - None of note aside from standard augmentation that everyone would need in night city. Character History: Born into a family of soldiers his ties to Militech was not to far from what you would have expected from the start. His family history of serving in the United States army sustained even through into the New United States. Growing up around military styled soldiers, and business strongmen John's experience around guns, and weapons were nothing to scoff at. As a child he received a through education in both literacy, and arms bonding with younger children that were like him as they were raised to enforce the new status quo of 'order' as it was in the modern day. He grew to enjoy the process of training, learning, bettering yourself to become a better overall individual. A reward for training was that you knew mistakes you could make, and avoiding them in real life. As a teenager he started to go along to fight off gangs who tried to make moves on family, and friends of the Brown Family, and Militech. He dreamed of a better America one day but...soon that young man who though of a better day started to grow more and more disinterested in dreaming. As he ended life after life from a range with his guns, and with groups of well trained individuals he thought of how wretched the existence was of people. He gradually became more use to ending human life to the point where it barely even registered anymore. Many would have called him a psycho, others around him just started calling as it was, normal. After taking the lives of many individuals he eventually came into the job of a Corpo Agent of Militech once he came of age. He was more willing to talk than others, and his ice cold personality and lack of real care of what others though of him made him an excellent field agent, and someone who could assist executives, and other less military inclined individuals to keep moving without fear of being executed. He received upgrades, and tech from his employers however unlike others he refrained from over augmentation taking what he needed such as implants in his retinas to help him shoot, in his feet, and legs to increase speed, and his hands and wrists to assist in hand-eye coordination and overall physical strength. While some would call him weak he grew to dislike machines. While there was a place for everything he hated the concept of being so replaceable that a broken motherboard would just get him thrown in a trash heap. Humans, as he preferred to think of them as, were unique individuals and while he had no qualms with ending them, or hurting them he respected them more than machines. Human error can be a hell of a thing but they were much less replaceable, and much more prone to being reasonable. As he saw it a single wrong code in the mainframe of machines would cause them to turn on allies, kill people they were meant to assist. Humans had reasons for turning money, betrayal, and or attitude. Thus making them predictable easier to take into account. As such he refused to become too much of a machine himself. He managed to sustain this with a track record of being quiet, and following orders. After a period of service recent events in night city caused a disruption with Arishoka fleeing into the darkness those within Militech were quick to try and take control. As an Agent charged with getting rid of individuals he made the mistake relying on his commissioner. After a job he returned to Militech to find he had eliminated a notable member with the assistance of his team. His commissioner had taken a bribe from a higher up in command who was found out, and subsequently taken out. Caught in the crossfire he peacefully surrendered and was found to have only been following orders. He was given the boot from the company for PR's sake and his more advanced implants removed he found himself as mercenary taking bids for body guard jobs, and hit jobs on gangsters. Character Appearance: A Caucasian male with pale white skin, black sunglasses, and clean cut hair he is an anomaly in the unusually rough Night City. Even after being booted from his Corpo Job he maintained his clean, and professional appearance to the best of his ability. He stands upright, and doesn't slouch and typically wears suits of the black variety. He holds himself with a sense of professional pride not wanting himself to be seen as nothing but the best. He is usually calm most of the time seeing outbursts of emotion as unreasonable, and a sign of weakness or frustration. He wants to show that he is the best by exuding a calming, and relaxed aura be it in killing another person, or threatening them. He tends to move his fingers when agitated by another individual. Goals: Apex of Humanity - John's goal is a rather simple one to reach a point where he unquestionably one of the best warriors on the planet. He is already well trained but he believe he can be more. Having already done his best to learn control over his emotions he believes that his own inclusion, and interest in his previous system has blinded him to areas that would've made him stronger. He doesn't truly care if he is a leader, or has a home. He just wants to be better than everyone else. He takes jobs to live as any human does but in the end his goal will always be to improve himself even in the smallest of ways. Perhaps learning how to shoot better, or to fight better in closer combat, which he despises viewing it as barbaric and annoyingly personal. Perhaps it could simply be he wants to truly understand if he has real emotions or if his trip down the corpo step ladder has made him more machine in personality than he would like.

This cyberware assists in quickening the reflexes of the body to move quicker in response to an enemy. In other words it increases the response time, and natural reflexes of the user. It only makes him slightly faster than the average human however with his training already there is enhances his already honed skills further. Vehicle: Quartz EC-L R275 Skills: Eye of the Storm: Has the cool, and calm collectiveness of a trained killer. He ruthlessly dispatches his foes mercilessly, and does so with minimal fear, and calm. He is always level headed waiting for the right chance to erase a target. Agent: Is a capable talker what he lacks in energetic, and rousing speeches he makes up for in how eerily professional he is about everything he does. Terrifying to those who take him seriously, hilarious to those who do not he knows how to handle a business contact, or someone raised in the upper echelon of humanity's social classes. He is always ready to make the kill having been trained to shoot if taken by surprise or attack with his hands if not. Soldier for Hire: Trained by military soldiers, and honed in the heat of the Corpo world as an assassin he understands a wide variety of weapons and how they work. From Snipers, to sword, to pistols, and assault rifles it was a tool of the trade to be capable of bringing harm to enemies in every form possible. This extended to being able to torture someone for information when the need arose. The Humanoid Terminator: His reflexes honed to a sharp point he is deadly in his accuracy with his shots. His few implants help him be able to precisely, and effectively eliminate a target with minimal shots, or stabs. [/hider] [/quote] Approved! Gratzi.:D
