@AbandonedIntel Sorry for the brief post, out and about, but figured i'd get one in :)

Old Flames (Powerbound Origins RP)

Marcus Williams

Location: Near Markada, Northeastern Syria
Interacting With: Daran and Tara @AbandonedIntel

Marcus chuckled softly as Daran praised his actions, moving along toward the trucks as he kept his weapon held ready in his hands, climbing up into the back of the truck as Tara gestured for him to do so. Settling down behind the cover of the truck bed, he shifted the barrel of his rifle to rest on the edge, stabilizing it so he could fire as they were moving if it was needed. He smirked at Tara's comment and nodded slowly. "Yes we are, Tara, yes we are."

Marcus appreciated where he was, right at the spearhead of the diversion, where the most of the fighting would be. He longed for a good fight and he knew here was where he was going to get it. He brought his hand up to his ear to key into his radio, checking in with the other Coalition forces again and letting them know the attack was about to start, after he got some confirmation, he gave Tara and Daran a nod to let them know all was going well enough. Though, the explosion which came shortly afterward would've been indication enough to the coalition troops.

Marcus ducked his head somewhat, but otherwise had little reaction to the explosion, he was used to them at this point, though he'd prefer if that was the closest they got. He watched Daran as he explained the plan, nodding and pulling his designator from his vest, waiting for the trucks to stop as he rolled off and crouched beside one, bullets slamming into the ground around him and the truck as he shifted just slightly out of cover, searching for any targets of interest. He found them soon enough, machine gun nests, mortar pits, he started to focus on the artillery, keeping the laser set on them as he waited for the fireworks.

@AbandonedIntel Going to get some sleep for now, but I'll be back in a few hours :)

Marcus Williams

Location: Near Markada, Northeastern Syria
Interacting With: Daran and Tara @AbandonedIntel

Watching Tara as she moved off, and the troops as they began to muster and ready, Marcus was once again reminded of his regret for not having learned any of their language before arriving to work with them, it just felt odd to have so much go over his head. Glancing back toward Daran as he spoke. He glanced momentarily between Daran and himself, the two were almost opposites in terms of their equipment, and it wasn't just him, as Marcus looked over the others he nodded, he couldn't help but agree with the man, the YPG were terribly unequipped. "Unfortunately, I can't do a lot about that." He sighed, shrugging as he watched Tara come back toward them.

Marcus couldn't help but chuckle at her query, adjusting his weapon in his grip as he nodded. "Ready as i'll ever be." He explained as he settled the stock of his rifle against his upper arm, ready to shift it further up to his shoulder when they actually got into combat. As the unit began to move, Marcus moved with Daran and Tara, listening to the idle radio chatter of the coalition forces as they prepared and got ready, there wasn't a great deal of chatter yet, just people checking in and saying they were all ready, he figured it'd all kick off soon enough though.

Marcus let Daran take the lead most of the time, he was there to help, and if Daran needed something done he or the rest of their group couldn't, he'd deal with it, but Daran was a better leader, and the YPG trusted him far more, he'd earned their respect, something Marcus was still working on. And after all, this was their plan.

Interacting With: Daran and Tara @AbandonedIntel

Marcus stuck out like a sore thumb among the YPG fighters, whereas their own equipment was varied, he was kitted out in the best operator's equipment the US Navy SEALs had on offer. He'd made a brief scouting run of the village, more so he had something to do more than anything else. Marcus hated the calm before a storm, he never could stand to sit still and wait before a fight, he felt like he always had to be doing something. Returning to the group he was with, Marcus made his way up toward Daran and Tara, tapping the trigger guard of his weapon with his finger as he scratched under the chin strap of his helmet.

"Nothing's changed in the village, so I don't think they've caught wise to the plan, or anything." He commented idly as he looked between the two. He'd been with them for a while now, long enough to get acquainted, but he still wasn't sure how much they trusted him, or even appreciated him being there. Marcus was content to be working with them, and he respected the 32nd and its leaders, Daran and Tara were both excellent fighters and leaders. Though still, Marcus couldn't help but feel a little out of place, after all, he was still essentially there just to be their more specialized killer, though that was putting it bluntly.

Marcus glanced down to the other fighters they were with, reaching up to scratch at the thin beard which had been growing on his face, he hadn't had time to shave for a while, he hadn't really had time for much at all. Marcus had been working constantly since he arrived to work with the 32nd, he did day patrols, night ops, even sentry duty, since he'd gotten there he'd tried to take up as much work as he could to try and relieve some of the 32nd, but it meant he'd had little time to relax, or even sleep. He wasn't concerned about falling asleep, but in this brief calm before combat, it always started to get to him as he rubbed his eyes.

Went to the effort of putting up a Pre-Augmentation CS, not much different, just a few edits if you feel like taking a gander :)

@AbandonedIntel

They look great, keen to get going!

All good friend, I was right about to head to work anyway :P

Sounds like a good idea to me, did you want to start us off and set the scene, or should I?

| Full Name |
Marcus Samuel Williams.

| Nickname |
Sam

| Alias |
Iron Hand

| Birth Date |
March 13, 1999

| Age |
30

| Species |
Human Cyborg

| Gender |
Male

| Sexuality |
Bisexual

| Alignment |
Chaotic Good

| In-Depth Appearance |
Marcus has a number of scars, particularly around his cybernetic arm, but also across most of his torso, the majority appear to be from surgeries, but there are a few from shrapnel and bullet wounds. He has a tattoo along the underside of his right forearm, and another from his back left shoulder to the middle of his back, this one is cut in half by the cybernetic arm, however. He has no visible birthmarks or abnormalities, apart from the arm itself.

Marcus' day-to-day outfit is generally designed to make him blend in as much as possible, he generally wears a jacket, long-sleeved shirts and gloves to cover his glaringly obvious left arm. He doesn't put a great deal of effort into looking fashionable, and instead focuses on being comfortable while looking as generic as he can. He'll usually be wearing a cap with his longer hair tucked back, and if not, he'll generally have it up in a small bun or ponytail, so it isn't in his eyes.

Marcus' 'Work' outfit is rather different and far more combat-oriented. His torso is protected by a Kevlar bodysuit and his unaugmented arm is covered, he wears a face-mask to conceal his identity, and a utility belt around his waist holds extra ammunition and equipment.

| Abilities |
Augmented Strength - Marcus' cybernetic arm is custom-made and designed to give him far greater strength, with a little effort, he can easily tear a car door off, or pack much more force into a punch.
Enhanced Reactions - Marcus' has been equipped with a neural implant which allows him heightened senses, increasing his reaction time and making him generally faster to respond to threats, or to adapt in a fight.

| Limitations |
Marcus only has one cybernetic limb, and as a result the extra force and strength which it provides doesn't apply to any of his other limbs, or even him generally. He might be able to punch a hole through a brick wall with his left arm, but he certainly couldn't with his right. His cybernetics are also not self-powering, and while they generally can last for a while, over-working and over-use can generally make their enhancement far weaker.

| Equipment |

• Colt M4a1 SOPMOD rifle, with grenade launcher
• H&K USP .45 pistol
• 2 spare .45 magazines for pistol
• 3 spare 5.56x45mm magazines for rifle
• A Gerber LHR Combat Knife
• An iPhone 4S
• A wallet with $20, US military ID
• A passport

| Personality Traits |
Serious, Unforgiving, Relentless, Cynical | Kind, Smartass, Courageous, Devoted

| Personality |
Since his augmentation, Marcus has suffered from sort sort of bipolarity. Before his augmentation, and when he isn't working, Marcus is generally a kind individual, easy to be around and befriend, a trustworthy individual who would go to most any end to help people. He is quick to crack a joke, and even quicker to put himself at risk for others or try to offer them some sort of assistance in any way he can. He is fiercely loyal to his friends, easily trusted with any sort of secret. He is an incredibly polite individual as well, fitting the model of an ideal soldier through-and-through, as he's also quite disciplined.

When he is working, and in fact the second he usually puts on his mask, Marcus adopts an entirely different persona. Marcus isn't particularly cruel, but usually shows no remorse when it comes to his enemies, and generally no mercy either. He has no particular moral code which restricts him, and is just as content to kill his enemy as wound them, as was generally his job when he was first augmented. He can be relatively difficult to control when in this sort of phase, and the longer fighting goes on, the worse it generally gets, with Marcus progressively becoming more and more brutal. He can get like this even when not fighting however, and dealing with Marcus at this time is usually rather difficult, as he becomes cynical, mean, and under the general assumption that most people are out to get him.

| Place Of Origin |
Born: Springfield, Illinois
Resides in: Istanbul, Turkey

| Family |
Jake Williams - Father, United States Navy SEAL. Killed in Afganistan. Powerless
Elizabeth Williams - Mother, R&D Specialist at the US Department of Defense. Powerless

| History |
Born into an all-American patriotic family in the quintessential town of Springfield, Illinois, Marcus was brought into the world as the only child of a happily-married couple. His father made sure that Marcus knew from a young age that he would need to uphold a tradition of men in his family, one where all Williams men would serve in the military in some way or another. It was a tradition which Marcus accepted and grew up happy to be a part of. It did not take long for Marcus to decide that he would follow in his father's footsteps as a Navy SEAL as well.

Training throughout much of his young and teenage life, Marcus was ready to, and happily enlisted shortly after graduating from high school. Graduating from Navy SEAL BUD/s training, it wasn't long before Marcus was through all of his training and deployed on his first operations in the Middle East. Assisting local forces in their fight against terrorist forces. Marcus served with relative distinction, being granted a Navy Cross and at one point recommended for a Medal of Honor. He continued to serve for many years effectively, and advanced quickly within the SEAL teams, until he was caught in a large explosion in a terrorist stronghold, and listed as deceased officially.

In reality, Marcus' body was recovered by another team of special forces operators, and brought under the care of a department of defense medical and R&D team, headed by his own mother. This team replaced the majority of Marcus' internal organs which were damaged by the explosion with cybernetic enhancements, as well as replacing his left arm, which was severely burnt in the explosion. The process of bringing Marcus back was a long one, and required his cryogenic freezing for close to seven years for it to be complete. After his 'resurrection' of sorts, Marcus was sent on numerous black ops by the US Military, used to assassinate high-ranking terrorist leaders, and generally sent on lone-wolf high-risk missions. During this period Marcus earned his alias, as the terrorist groups he attacked put up a bounty for his execution or capture, referring to him as 'The Iron Hand'. This continued until Marcus reached the age of 28, when he finally asked to be discharged.

Reluctant to lose their personal killing machine, the department of defense made a deal with Marcus, he would go on one last, incredibly high-risk operation, and if he completed it, he could leave the military. Sent into the Amazon rainforest to clear it of a large terrorist presence, Marcus managed not only to complete the mission, but with significant effort managed to break apart the entire command of the terrorist group, which was played off in the media as a result of 'in-fighting'. Having completed the mission, the military still had no real desire to let Marcus go, and did what they could to make him stay, even threatening him. Only angered by this, Marcus went AWOL and disappeared to Turkey, living in relative obscurity in Istanbul.

Although he was tired of his own service, at least under the US government, Marcus felt a longing and a need to still use his augments to assist people, considering the massive downfall the world seemed to be in. As a result he came to accept the call when it came, despite his better judgement.

Those both sound like good ways to start, I feel like we could work out a few things depending on what way we do start.

I'd say if we start during a firefight, we could say that Marcus might be alone, maybe those he was working with didn't have the best luck, whereas if we start when he's sent in, and maybe with some other spec ops personnel. Seeing he isn't augmented at this point, it'd make sense for him to be with some others.

For me I suppose it comes down to how many NPCs we want to have in the rp, I don't mind playing a few, so i'll leave that up to you :)
