Name: Brig. Gen. Garrett “Teflon” Johnson 
Age: 37 years.
Gender: Male
Race: Human

Random Descriptors: 6’4”, 250 pounds, Blond hair, blue eyes

Tier: Intermediate as himself, high in his spaceship.

Type: Critical Character, participant. 

Physical: He wears a blue United States Air Force dress uniform aboard his spaceship or when he is out in a non-combat context. As he is a bit of a martinet, he walks with impeccable posture, and carries a swagger stick. 

Personality:
A rigid disciplinarian with a sense of humor. He recognizes the gravity of his mission, so when anything threatens the success of it, he becomes calm, focused, and all-business.

Skills, Power, abilities:
Enhanced reflexes (low): In order to make him an extremely effective pilot, mechanical enhancements were made to his nervous system, among them replacing his spinal cord with insulated room temperature super conductors. Almost as soon as an electric signal reaches his brain, a response is sent out.
Computation implant (intermediate): In his mind, he has a quantum computer to handle numerical computations of any size in a fraction of a second. 
Ocular implants (intermediate): His right eye can see in IR, and can use its own IR lidar (1550 nm) to detect things shielded from visible light. 
Human intuition (low): The reason human pilots still exist, is for this reason alone. Humans are able to “feel” via some mysterious force that computers have not been able to replicate, possible danger or which decision is still correct. 

Equipment: (Hoh boy, where to begin)
Assault MASER rifle (intermediate): Fires microwaves which fry electronics and can boil water. 

The chief source of his power is his ASF-67 "Mirror", “ASF” standing for Air Superiority Fighter. State of the art in 2564 AD on his homeworld, the ASF-67 was created to escort the latest settler ship, the first to leave the galaxy and the first that may encounter hostile extraterrestrial forces. The ASF is 36 meters long, 26 meters in wingspan, and 10 meters tall.

Propulsion (High): Interestingly, the ASF never moves, at least, not when it is going at high speeds. The ASF creates a bubble around itself of stagnant space, but contracts space in front of it and expands space behind it, pulling itself along the fabric of space-time. It has ion thrusters when this level of speed is not needed.

Thrusters (High): Capable of accelerating the fighter to Mach 10 in under 40 seconds by energizing particles to high speed and ejecting them out the back. Smaller thrusters are located around the fighter for turning and the main thrusters are able to be angled to that end as well.

Power Suite (High): Deep in the core of the ship, also the most armored portion, is an enormous quantity of anti-protonium (antimatter protons) held under tremendous pressure by superconductors using the Meissner effect. When a quantity of this anti-protonium must be used, the superconductors are switched off for the shortest of shortest periods of time, allowing a few milligrams to escape their containment. These are then attracted by positive charged magnets into the conversion chamber, where they are either diverted to energy harvesting or converted to exotic matter to sustain an Alcubierre bubble. Scientists were very apprehensive of putting this quantity of antimatter in such a small area, as the annihilation of it all would raise the temperature of the spaceship (or the matter, as it is impossible the ship would survive) to far beyond the Planck temperature (in addition to releasing Yottajoules of energy), the consequence of which would be unknown as they have no theory of quantum gravity. To replenish stores (rarely necessary), the hydrogen scoop on the underside of the plane scoops hydrogen and uses cold fusion to create the needed energy to produce more antimatter, which is injected into the core. 

Gamma Laser (Intermediate): A few grams of Antimatter is annihilated with a few grams of matter in a lasing chamber to produce an exceptionally powerful focused beam of gamma radiation. There are two main guns on the front of the ship, and several tiny point defense lasers found the surface. 

Plasma Shield (High): Compressed helium and other gases, picked up while the ship scoops for hydrogen, or as a byproduct of anti-matter producing fusion, is ionized, superheated, and pumped onto the incredibly heat resistant surface of the ship, held there by strong electromagnets. This has the added effect of pulling any ferromagnetic materials into the superheated plasma. 

Metamaterial surface (High): Electromagnets capable of bending light around the surface of the ship like water around a rock, it effectively makes the ship invisible to all frequencies of light but one frequency of infrared (1550 nm if you’re curious), which it uses like sonar to bounce off objects in space to determine their distance. If the ship fires, it will release heat, visible in infrared. If it uses its thrusters, the thrusters will give off visible light. To deflect all the light is incredibly taxing in terms of energy and only done shortly, often to give the ship safety while it repairs or for an ambush. 

Railguns (intermediate): For long range shooting (as lasers degrade over distance and unfocus), the ship can propel a bullet, containing anti-matter or not, at ridiculous speeds. The ship has one railgun, centrally mounted and forward facing. 
Nanobot repair (high): Nanobots scurry about the ship on orders of the ship’s computer, repairing it when damaged. When landed and with access to metal ores even grave damage, such as a missing wing, can be repaired in a matter of weeks. Moderate damage, such as a deep gash completely penetrating the hull takes about two days, light damage, like stripping away the heat shield and damaging the metamaterials, takes a few hours, and superficial damage can be repaired in seconds. In flight, moderate to light damage must be repaired through stopgap measures meant to promote hull integrity but losing function. Application of these "steel bandaids" takes anywhere from a few hours to minutes. Severe damage is irreparable but superficial damage is unaffected. These temporary means can be exhausted, and when flying at high speeds in the atmosphere, external repair is impossible. 
Nanobot fabrication(High): Given time and material, Nanobots can replace parts of his armory.

Antimatter missile(Intermediate): Must be locked on before use, can use radio, infrared, or visible light to track its target. The smallest detonate with the force of 10 kilotons, the largest at 53 megatons. Can be remotely detonated. Launched from underwing hardpoints.

Hull (High): Exceptionally durable, meant to withstand high speed asteroid collisions and extreme temperatures. Able to fly within a thousand miles of the surface of the sun. The surface is highly reflective and loses heat in the form of blackbody radiation very quickly.

Autopilot (High): Not your typical autopilot, this fully intelligent computer was introduced as a dual redundancy. Should General Garrett be incapacitated or killed the ship can take over and either carry on the fight or escape. Should the ship's alcubierre drive fail irreparably, Garrett will give the order for himself to be cryogenically frozen and the ship can use thrusters to return to civilization, which could take centuries. 

History:
His planet, an alternate Earth where a Sino-American war resulted in a decisive Euro-American victory, resulted in global liberation for the oppressed and an effective UN. A thousand years since, technology has advanced to the point where they can solve all mental illness, prolong lives into the centuries, and people are settling planets even outside the galaxy. The portal to the Nexus (which they know nothing about), has the unique property of moving around, and a few nexus travelers have appeared, causing enormous damage. The first traveler was a wizard of incalculable power, who destroyed thousands of men. Teflon correctly supposed that the way to defeat him was to apply constant, irritating pressure, dodging the magical blast until the fatigue wore the wizard down and he could be slain. For this, Teflon was promoted to lead the newly created UN force charged with defeating these travelers. Teflon’s wing was staffed by the USAF under orders of UNSC (now composed of US, France, UK, Germany, Russia). Once, while gunning for a creature, he flew his ship into the portal, which transported him to the Nexus, which is where our story begins.
