[OOC] Starfall | Below A Thousand Shadows (Page 20)

Name: Harvin Joshua Zhi-heng Tong

Age: 29

Race: Human

Physical Characteristics and Appearance:

A well-rounded education and limited adolescent basic training in the NSFP would have minted a rather intelligeable, albeit pearl skinned man, however, years of non-stop training, hard fighting alongside the former Empire's Planetary Assault Corps and the ridiculous qualification requirements have sculpted Harvin's body into a high-octane, muscled machine. The 21st century Rambos and Schwarzeneggers would have been put to shame in lue of Harvin's dedication to maintaining both his upper and lower body physique. Dark hair, black-brown eyes, and a square shaped jaw sculpt the man's face and here and there, scars are visible along his face and body. Nevertheless, the man's handsome features are sight for many a sore eye amongst the human female population and to a lesser extent, female humanoid species that roam the former Empire's territories.

Homeworld:

New San Francisco Prime Off-Planet View [+]

New San Francisco Prime On-Planet Capital [+]

Having situated itself along the Alpha Californias-Pacificus star cluster and over a dozen trading routes, the lush, core human world of New San Francisco Prime continued to thrive as a metropolis and massive trade hub. The services offered to its inhabitants continually brought many amenities in the forms of robust economic mobility, collective residential cooperation between different species, accelerated/refined scientific advancement, and a multitude of other progressive and productive qualities that benefitted its citizens. The planet still shared many ideological similarities to its historic ancestral beginnings on the old Earth city of San Francisco and its residents (the Tong families included) took pride in their home's similarities. The Earth's destruction along with New Los Angeles Prime (New San Francisco's twin-sister planet) came as a shock to many and New San Francisco became a haven for displaced Earth refugees

Background Information:

Harvin was born to a rather comfortable and carefree life, far away from Earth and the heaviest inter-galactic, Empire politics that dominated most of the Sol system. His education and life in a middle-upper classed family allowed priviledges not afforded to other Empire citizens, however, the close proximity of the Arakath to the Californias-Pacifus clusters always put New San Franciscans on high alert. As such, Harvin received rudimentary paramilitary training at a relatively young age as was mandated by the New San Franciscan Governing Board. Simultaneously, his education was quite respectable, given the financial priviledges afforded to many New San Franciscans and the various covered disciplines offered a well rounded view of the surrounding former Empire's vast cultural, technical, and historical backgrounds.

Long before Earth's destruction, Harvin joined the New San Franciso Prime or NSFP Defense Forces and served a mandatory 3 years before qualifying for entry into the former Empire's Planetary Assault Corps. Upon his integration into 108th Planetary Assault Battalion, his immediate deployments saw some of the heaviest action against numerous insurgents and deployed in over a dozen conflicts and environments. Always on the front lines, Harvin and other Planetary Assaulters always served as the former Empire's first wave and despite insertion into some of the most dangerous parts of the galaxy, always finished what they started. For his service, the New San Franciscan achieved the highest military decorations as one of the former Empire's most reliable, conflict terminating servants ...

Equipment:

Ranged Weapon

AIS (Alkaios Integrated Systems) Custom Modified G37AU-6/B Hellkid

To some, AIS weapons and hardware resembled one of the many frightening developments within the hybrid industrial-military industries surrounding humanity's weapon capabilities as well as a reason for alarm and contention towards humanity as a threat to other races. Others considered the hard work and research of companies such as Alkaios Integrated Systems (AIS), Shutterdyne Power Works (SPW), and Tasren Precision Firearms (TPF) to form the new pinnacle of post-Empire, inter-galactic weapons development in response to the growing threats presented by the hostile Arakath. The embracement of one such weapon came in the form of the AIS GAU or 'Hellkid' Weapon Series. Harvin eventually acquired a G37AU-6/B 'Hellkid', which featured over a dozen custom modifications to fit his specific demands as a Planetary Assault Specialist.

Harvin's weapon featured collapsible capabilities, where the weapon could fold and deploy on a moments notice, reducing valuable space and resources for other troopers or hardware in tightly enclosed spaces. The material construction proved a hallmark within Alkaois Integrated Systems engineering and offered a rare featherweight feature, which the modified Hellkid's reduced weight greatly minimized its operator's required endurance, be it for carrying or storage.

Other features included integrated cooling liquids, heatvents, and non-lethal sponge material that negated both recoil and overheating, thereby granting the user precision, accuracy, and non-stop fire. Current Hellkid rates of fire stand at around 10,000 – 30,000 rounds per minute with deployable, automated sentry functions. During the Canis Outer Rings campaign, a shortage of operators lead to emergency sentry mode activation by overstretched Planetary Assault Troopers. The result created temporary killzones within otherwise unmanned and exploitable gaps, allowing Empire troopers to focus upon key objectives until particular threats were eliminated and allowed room for extractions.

The Hellkid possesses its own interchangeable power plant if detached from the REIDA or REISA suits in the event of power failure, forced detachment, or emergency suit detachment and utilizes existing cyclic systems found in many post-Empire hover bikes. The power plants support a built in emergency AI, which assist the viewer in the event that forced or emergency suit detachment become a reality. Customizations were also factored into the GAU's construction and the various models offered various adaptions throughout the series' current and illustrious history. One such customization features the automatic and manual caliber modes, in which cylinder and barrels are either replaced or detached for different calibers. Existing caliber replacement support a large variety of munitions from explosive rounds to heavier anti-vehicle/aircraft projectiles.

Physical Enhancements

Other

Skill set:

- Adept Weapon Constructionist and Assemblyman
- Accomplished Suppression Specialist
- Close Quarters Combat Expert
- Reliable Marksman
- Overqualified Weapons Engineer and R&D Specialist

Combat Role:

Support/Forward Assault

Weaknesses:

The heavy reliance upon the REIDA and REISA combat suits leave the user vulnerable to suit malfuctions, particularly the ammunition chambers and powerplant locations. Should either or both munitions and/or powerplants detonate, the user would very likely engulfed in the blast along with other members within a 70 meter radious.

More to come with the Sidearm, REISA, and REIDA suits features, but I've been pretty occupied as of lately. I'll have the new species out once I've finished Harvin's character sheet!
