Height: 6'9
Weight: 470 lbs.
Reach: 81"
Hair: Black (Graying)
Eyes: Copper
DESCRIPTION
His face consists of broad planes cut by the sharp angles of his cybernetics, and could have been considered handsome if his expression weren’t so naturally dour. Retractable tinted lenses implanted in his zygomatic recesses add to Sóse's intimidating countenance.
He favors heavy clothes to mask his augmented form, leaving Sóse’s fashion sense obstinately out of touch. Eschewing vogue aborform and chromorphic materials for reliable nu-fibers, he models himself after action heroes of the past. A hydrophobic Deflexion jacket over a gunmetal mycofiber shirt and black d3o denim jeans tucked into size 22 combat boots are his go-to outfit.
Calm. Observant. Aloof. Jaded.
Sóse is a veteran of the First Contact War and subsequent Years of Blood, a retired operative with the NYDD and currently works as a private investigator. He operates out of Udica, North Capital City, formerly known as the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn.
His career in law enforcement was cut short after the 9 Suns Tower incident culminated with the destruction of its upper 50 floors. Professionally disgraced, Sóse established his own agency shortly after.
He lives out of his small office, located on the 10th floor of a Pre-FC tenement. Utilitarian to the point of self-neglect, Sóse surrounds himself with very few luxuries. Notorious for taking any case, he navigates the ghost of a city to piece together the clues and maybe get a glimpse at the bigger picture behind recent domestic terrorist activities.
ASSESSMENT
Intelligence - Sóse possesses a gifted and inquisitive mind, honed through years of experience as a detective and private investigator. These innate talents (coupled with the OPHIUCUS) have lent themselves well to his less than legal ventures in cyberspace. He is a skilled tactician capable of quickly formulating strategies according to the demands of the moment. His memory banks contain vast digital archives covering a variety of fields of interests ranging from chemistry to xenobiology, along with manuals for piloting a broad variety of vehicles and aircraft.
Strength - While his uppermost strength level has never been properly documented, estimates place Sóse slightly beyond the 100 ton threshold. Sóse has displayed enough strength to lift a twelve ton reinforced utility vehicle (loaded with a further 4 tons in the form of a squad of cybernetically-enhanced sicarios) with little effort and toss it 100 yards.
Speed - Despite his size, the ceramsteel myomeres in Sóse's legs enable him to reach speeds well beyond the capabilities of even the finest human athlete. This lends to explosive bursts of speed to cover ground quickly, or to pursue targets fleeing in vehicles. Sóse can reach a top speed approaching 300 mph, but requires time and distance to attain such a velocity. His dexterity is enough that when coupled with his enhanced processing power, Sóse can engage threats that operate at much higher speeds than him.
Durability - Sóse is extremely durable, capable of withstanding tremendous amounts of punishment. High caliber bullets, 120mm tank shells and military-grade explosives cause negligible damage while hypersonic missiles and high-powered direct energy weapons require adequate countermeasures. His cybernetic arms can withstand almost unlimited impact, due to the neobohrium used. Fine tuning of his augmentations have decreased the drain on his power supply, allowing him to engage in full combat for several hours before needing to supplement his energy stores. Before cyberization, his ability to tap into and absorb bio-force on a level similar to the invading Val'Gara kept Sóse alive and capable of fighting high-end Cataclysm. This ability was mostly burnt out during cyberization but a vestige remains in his ability to counteract direct psionic and thaumic effects, localized reality distortions and other forms of supernatural energies or abilities with a personal field of bio-force.
Martial Abilities - Sóse is an extremely formidable unarmed combatant, as well as a proficient armed fighter. As a youth much of his time was spent in the boxing gym with his brother, Tawit. After years of training, they would become golden glove winning fighters before enlisting. Nearly two decades of military service has expanded his martial knowledge to other systems, first as a Private during the First Contact War; then as a Cybernetic Operative during the Years of Blood. He favors employing combat styles that make full use of his strength, endurance and durability such as Boxing, Judo and Muay Thai. He is a lethally accurate marksman with all variety of firearms, and is also proficient in projectile throwing, favoring knives and tomahawks.
AUGMENTATIONS
Raweno Industries N-Weave 5 is an implant of advanced bio-electronic nano-neuro-circuitry in Sóse's cerebellum that hosts an impressive 30 exaflop quantum processor, vast digital archives and allows for direct interface between Sóse's thoughts and his myriad amount of augmentations and applications.
IZO Series-8 OPHIUCUS is a modular hacking device implemented into Sóse’s Raweno Industries N-weave 5, allowing him complete control over hacking operations without the need for any tactile device or virtual interface via integration with the
SiMart Cochlear Module infolink. It contains predictive analytics engines; polymorphic intrusion and obfuscation rootkits; quantum VPN; military-spec ICE (intrusion countermeasures); a growing library of goblins (powerful hacking programs); and environmental dominator subroutines.
Raweno Industries AUGUR is a cranial implant that oversees a combination of audio, visual, thermal, and motion detection systems housed across Sóse's body, each updated once per nanosecond. Topographic information is compiled and accurately rendered in Sóse's HUD through enhanced sensory processing algorithms.
HEX RetPros serves as a high-end chassis for Sóse's optical augmentations, installed with an optoelectronic HUD by default that syncs with the rest of his systems to relay real-time data. They have variable zooms and frame rates of x2/8/14/20 and 60 to 6,000,000 fps along with anti-memetic, infrared and ultraviolet filters that have proven invaluable in his profession as a detective.
HEX Aperture Mk. 3 allows Sóse to locate and reveal persons and objects beyond nearby walls and obstacles (< 10' thick) by emitting frequency-modulated carrier waves from his pupils. Sensors from Sóse's
AUGUR implant collaborate with the carrier waves to assemble a two-dimensional representation of the target's silhouette which is then projected as an overlay onto Sóse's HUD. Production of these carrier waves can quickly drain his core power supply if use exceeds intervals beyond 10 minutes.
n0 sc0p3 is a motion-dampening, stability-inducing subsystem which narrows the fire zone, allowing the user to aim at targets with greater efficiency while under extreme duress, moving at high speeds or during free-falls.
n0 sc0p3 is decentralized, with elements embedded in the user's nerve-brain connections, inner ear structure, and optic nerves. From nanosecond to nanosecond, the augmentation reads and processes inputs from the user's sensors tied to balance and orientation, then modifies and adjusts his aim accordingly.
Flash Suppression via the prostheses inherent self-preservation parameters, negating the majority of distortion to Sóse's sight incurred through the use of concussion/flash grenades or other sources of harsh light that exceed 80 megacandela.
Combat Analytics Augmented Reflex Engine or
CAARE is a decentralized implant (with elements along his vestibular system as well as nerve bundles in the legs and a distributed set of disc implants in the spinal column) that supercharges Sóse's nervous system for a brief time to increase his agility and dexterity by a factor of 5 and narrows his response time to picoseconds. Overuse does pose the potential to overclock Sóse’s systems. Estimated duration before internal damage is 10 minutes every 12 hours.
SiMart Cochlear Module is an infolink device capable of receiving and transmitting wireless communications and accessing networks, implanted directly into Sóse’s inner ear. Sensitivity to minute vibrations in the larynx allows for subvocalized communication when necessary. Sóse is capable of interfacing with electronic devices or networks within range (200m) via this module. By manipulating the module's settings, Sóse is also able to amplify or dampen his hearing.
IZO Aegis is composed of a supple, layered, micron-thin non-corrosive material replacing Sóse’s entire dermal system. Rated as Class XI armor, the base is a nanofiber lattice weave made from a phased composite of ceramsteel bio-organic nanotubes above a dilatant fluid that is then layered again with the nanotubes. This allows the Aegis to deflect molecular blades, mono-wires and other weaponry that operate along similar methods. When energy from a physical blow or discharge strikes Sóse, the fluid becomes rigid, negating all but the most severe levels of damage. Inductive properties of the material serve to dissipate thaumic, magnetic, thermal (heat and cold), radioactive (up to low-level gamma) or other forms of energized trauma including electromagnetic pulses. Sóse’s skull and torso are the most heavily fortified zones, giving him a rather hulking physique.
IZO Z-RO CHASSIS is the total overhaul of Sóse’s skeletal and muscular systems. His sim-bones are made from a proprietary alloy that was infused into Sóse’s original organic skeletal system during initial cyberization. This alloy enriched his marrow and increased its density while encasing then eventually replacing his bones, hardening them to rods of titanium-vanadium composite of similar proportions. Sóse’s tissues and joints have been replaced with ceramsteel myomeres and microrotors to function identically to their organic counterparts, though with exponentially superior strength, speed, endurance and dexterity.
AKONWARA Health System is an elegant collection of augments distributed throughout the body, meant to keep Sóse alive under the most inhospitable conditions, protected by layers of spacecraft grade ceramsteel housing.
The main unit tracks Sóse's medical condition and triggers secondary modules when it registers critical damage to his organics through internal or external trauma. Modules implanted in his heart tissue, lymphatic system, and adrenal glands utilize micro-electric charges and phase-released chemicals to stimulate the human body's healing reaction.
While the majority of Sóse’s body is artificial, he still retains 70% of his brain and nervous system as well as heart, kidneys and lungs.
A cocktail of glutamates, monoamines and AKONWARA's proprietary pharmaceutical ISAAC dispensed via nano-injectors into Sóse's amygdala raises his emotional perception and empathy to keep him from slipping into psychotic episodes following years of conflict-induced PTSD. Coupled with therapeutic subroutines developed over the years, Sóse has little fear of cyber-psychosis.
Housed in Sóse's chest cavity is an implanted T0 Membrane chemical filter and oxygen circulation unit (a compact, closed-circuit rebreather) to prevent injury from poisons, toxins and biological agents by
recycling and cleansing inhaled breaths before passing them to his lungs. A secondary hyper-oxygenation feature can provide increased amounts of oxygen into Sóse's bloodstream enabling him to resist exhaustion from extended physical effort.
Meanwhile his digestive system has been bypassed by the
AKONWARA Energy Converter to convert nutrients into a bio-electric charge that is then stored in Sóse’s core graphene supercapacitors within the ceramsteel housing.
An artificial liver with bioware sensors allows Sóse to drink inhuman amounts of alcohol with little ill-effect.
The system culminates with a cardioverter defibrillator capable of restarting Sóse's heart; it is implanted directly in the sinoatrial node, and is specially tuned not to interfere with Sóse’s other implants.
SiMart Combat Prostheses has seen the replacement of Sóse's organic limbs with enhanced-function cybernetic substitutes.
Unique modifications to Sóse’s cybernetic arm's shock buffers and sim-bone frames in conjunction with the use of an experimental neobohrium underlay beneath the IZO Aegis enable Operative Hihnon to effortlessly strike through 2' thick vanadium steel plating at baseline hardness.
Neobohrium is unique in its ability to absorb impacts and convert them into exponentially greater amounts of potential energy that is then stored in/discharged by a dimorphic magnetorheological fluid suspended in layered neobohrium. This force erupts as controlled concussive blasts from his palms or knuckles. The yield is proportional to the potential energy stored, with a minimal discharge being enough to overturn a 4 ton vehicle from a distance of 20'. The secondary property of neobohrium causes its hardness and tensile strength to increase exponentially until accumulated energy is discharged. This makes Sóse a greater threat as fights stretch on and more blows are landed.
By modifying myomere density and activating a shock-gel matrix in his legs, Sóse can perform devastating kicks, neutralize damage incurred from high falls or perform standing long jumps upwards of 60' or running leaps quadrupling that.
STEADFAST Recoil Negation allows for precision shooting of high-caliber weaponry via
n0 sc0p3's integrated reaction management buffers working in conjunction with bioplastic shock compressors housed within Sóse's shoulders.
IZO Experimental Nanoshield is an attachment housed within Sóse's left thigh and knee, meant to be concealed until deployed. When activated, a high-energy molecular assembler uses a relevant silicon-carbide cartridge in order to create a lamellar graphene shield that fans out as deployed in a fixed-plate large enough to be used as cover while stationary or detached to serve as a proper shield. It is rated as Class XV refractory armor, capable of deflecting high-powered direct energy weapons at close range or withstanding the impact of hypersonic missiles.
EQUIPMENT & RESOURCES
The contents of his Deflexion leather jacket include an AFAK to provide medical assistance to others; chemlights to illuminate dark spaces; a weathered field notebook filled with case notes; additional speedloaded .950 osmium alloy projectiles; silicon-carbide cartridges; and
AKONWARA CalDense Bars. These unique bars are a high-energy blend of carbohydrates and proteins that Sóse can use to recharge his power supply if engaged in prolonged battles. Each bar contains two servings.
Slung from his belt is a magazine pouch containing additional 10 round 10g magazines and an additional 50 round 12.7mm box magazine.
Tawiskaron is Sóse’s custom creation; a Red Technocracy railgun modified into a 4-shot revolver. Named after the Mohawk god of destruction,
Tawiskaron lives up to its sobriquet. Equipped with a
SiMart Holographic Sight and
Wetware Bio-Lock diagnostic and safety system (synchronized via sensors built into his palms),
Tawiskaron is capable of firing .950 caliber osmium alloy projectiles at 4,000 m/s. Sóse keeps
Tawiskaron holstered beneath his jacket in a 3D printed speed-rig based on
TANIGAWA DYNAMICS schematics he’d been given as payment for a kidnapping case.
Uktena PDW-23 is a hybrid weapon platform with an overall length of 23". The
Uktena consists of a fully automatic, magazine-fed bullpup 10g shotgun and a top-loading, bottom ejecting 12.7mm large caliber SMG. Sóse favors a mixed load in the 10 round 10g magazines; thunder-arc shells (disorienting at 220 dB & 70 megacandela), thermite-core sabot slugs (anti-materiel), titanium flechette shells (anti-personnel), and bionic brass buckshot rounds (greater armor penetration). Meanwhile the 50 round box magazine is loaded with armor piercing tungsten carbide ammunition. Unique design specifications include a
Wetware Bio-Lock diagnostic and safety system; selective fire modes (including both barrels at once); and a rapid side loading/ejection chamber, synchronized to his neural weave, to cycle through or feed 10g rounds as necessary.
Atóken is Sóse’s folding combat tomahawk housed within a compartment along the posterior of his right thigh. When activated, the blade vibrates at an extremely high frequency, increasing its sharpness to the point where it can cut through the target at a molecular level. The haft measures nearly 3' (1.5' folded) with a 1.5' bladed head. Both are constructed from the same silicon carbide material as the cartridges used in his micro-assembler.
2029 Cadillac Escalade ESV "Mary Two-Axe" is Sóse’s pride and joy, as well as his home away from the office, plainly evident by its contents. It is filled with extra CalDense bars and bottles of electrolyte water; a small crate of silicon cartridges; 2 crates each of supplemental ammunition for
Uktena and a box of supplemental projectiles for
Tawiskaron along with extra magazines and speed-loaders; supplies to replenish his AFAK; chemlights and two full back-up outfits (jacket, rig, shirt, jeans, boots).
Features include high-end surveillance equipment; remote function mode; Class-XV armored windshield, windows and body; EMP countermeasures across the cabin's interior and engine compartment; vanadium-steel reinforced chassis and front bumper; and VFI run flat system. Its V12 Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition Combustion (RCCI) engine delivers a stupendous 980hp, allowing the vehicle to achieve a top speed of 250 mph and accelerate to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds while its Magnetic Ride Control automatically adjusts its finely-tuned suspension system to extreme road conditions and prevents the vehicle from flipping over during sharp turns at high speeds.
