-Name: "Brae" "The bloodless" Clarke -Race: Human, Ex-Skull Jacker -Age: 28 -Appearance: [img]https://i.postimg.cc/SN6XhSMJ/Screenshot-2023-06-13-at-23-28-50.png[/img] -Personality: Brae is a reserved character. Speaking only when spoken to and used to being not everyones cup of tea owing to his connection to the Barbarian Skull Jackers class, the under class, if you will, of people who are by all accounts poverty-stricken colonists and are themselves the under class of anyone else in the system. When he speaks it is with solemn purpose. -Equipment: (What you normally keep with you, can be split into two sets "Around Town" and "On Mission" in case you don't want to be walking around town in full armor all the time. (Although that might be safer sometimes) [b]Around Town/On Mission[/b] [img]https://i.postimg.cc/tJGfQtKZ/Screenshot-2022-12-12-at-15-34-22.png[/img] When Brae appeared and came to Gabriel Phoenix he was already wearing some sort of advanced armor of a brand and manufacture never seen before. The armor clearly wasnt his and was acquired some way. It boasts advanced technology of a strange type who the group have taken to referring to as "bubble-knight". Aside from that his gunplay is really advanced. Owed from a brutal education of survive or die from an early age. He prefers rail weaponry... who doesnt, right? But can you get your hands on a working copy? He prefers the big bore ones. [b]Around Town[/b] Honestly, catching him sleeping is like trying to sneak up on a rattler. But when his armour is being repainted or something from the battle damage he walks around town in a jump suit tied at the wast. Bareback. He keeps with him his trusty tribal knife. He also has a pistol of unusual design, not the usual vending machine pistols you find. Looks like a real mans-mans pistol. Could be a talking point. -Abilities: (Nothing too crazy, such things like mild telekinesis, mild telepathy and such are fine, but no crazy magical abilities. Other abilities may be piloting, mechanics and other such things too): The four dots on Braes bubble suit's back can emit a strange blue bubble each, which rapidly joins together into a larger inflating bubble. This gives him strange abilities. The bubbles walls themselves seem to be made of energy and a fizzing of static is heard. With this he is able to do many things bubbles can do. He can parachute down from an aircraft. He can "bubble jump" by creating a large enough bubble behind him and propelling himself into the air with his legs. The bubble can of course envelop him and provides deflective field armour -until it bursts-, he can even jump ontop of his own bubble detaching it from his back and standing on it. As to the nature of this technology he isnt sharing, but it seems human in origin, not alien. Sure it doesnt have any human alphabet written on it, but its got five fingers for lords sake! -Bio: The earliest thing Brae remembers is struggle. His family lived in yurts deep in the desert where they could not be bothered. Originally human colonists, successive generations poverty and resource scarcity had driven them to the edge of civilized behavior. Back then owning a gun pretty much made you a king. Things got from really bad to worse as water dried up and food ran out. At one stage it became impossible for tribes to survive, his tribe in particular, after a poor harvest they had to make a very tough decision, an impactful one, either they would raid anothers encampment -take what they needed- or everyone would be dead from dehydration and malnourishment. His tribe leaders met and the matter was discussed. Eventually a decision was made. They chose to raid, rather than die. Many of the tribes followed suit, infact it was a common predicament. Eventually, all of them being collectively branded as skulljackers. Unjustly so! Some took to raiding perhaps too eagerly. It had unleashed some real madmen. Bad things are said about skulljackers, that they eat the dead and enslave the living. And if any, or even a hint of it is true Brae says nothing. But the truth being that Brae came from an era, he came from an era of honorable tribesmen, an era which is long dead, ruined by the honeyed words of wealth. Slave traders do not just live but prosper... from pain! NOT HIS WAY! Not my way... Where did the bubble-tech come from? Well, thats a real mystery. Someone had to have given it to them i'd say. And why did Brae leave his tribe? [plot hook] -Goal: Brae doesnt have goals like other humans do. When you live hand-to-mouth with a perpetual instinct for danger. Kind of doesnt leave room for much else. Perhaps being exposed to civilization will finally civilize the tribal in him. Maybe he'll grow a little.
