Here's the base with Eve not in it, as I realized that most of the change in behavior will be in the I.C. and in interactions with Marcus.

Name:Reginald Alexander Dorvain
Age: 21
Appearance:


Bio TBW, as I have to talk to Loony a bit to see if we're still going with #1 brOTP of Eve and Reggie.

	Reggie is the super-genius son of the current technology mogul, Marcus Dorvain. He was born with a almost super-human talent for understanding, redefining, and conceptualizing technologies, one that grew more and more prominent as he grew. In the early stages of his life, there were little, if any problems. While his father was rather distant and played little into his son's life, Reggie's elder brother Percival(or Percy, as he liked to be called) filled in the role well enough. An army man, he was somebody who Reggie absolutely idolized in his youth, and such made it all the more heart-wrenching when he heard about how his brother died while on duty in the middle east from an I.E.D explosion.
	Struck with grief, 8-year old Reggie went to his father for comfort, only to be rebutted with a cold look and dismissive turn. Ever since that day, Reggie has tried desperately to get his father's attention and praise with his inventions, trying day after day to gain something from the old man. However, all he got was empty words and money thrown his way, never any of the love of affection that he so deeply craved. To this day, Reggie has never heard his father even him address him as 'Son', not once, and while he likes to act like his father's attitude doesn't bother him, it was the original driving force for his inventing and will always be a thorn in his side.
	Speaking of inventing, Reggie is great at it, great at reverse engineering gem-tech as well. He has a knack for figuring out how the systems work, especially after he used a dusty old gem fragment he found to produce his Gem Interface matrix, a glove that he always wears which allows him to trick the system's into think ing he's a gem by using the energy signature of the shard. Early renditions of the device were finicky, however, and even nowadays, it's a bit of a crap-shoot as to whether or not the thing will even work at all. This device, which won his father national prestige and fame because you can't say that a 16 year-old was able to make such a thing, is something that he keeps the plans to locked away tight in his head, no matter how much people ask him for. Reason? Gem Tech is some scary shit, and he doesn't trust any of the corporate head honcho's all over the world to gain access to it. That being said, he still helps his dad with integrating these systems into American Military. He does this because A)if he's cooperative, he doesn't have to worry about getting kidnapped by our government and other governments, and B) daddy issues. He really does this all to please his dad in some way or another, though in recent years, he's kind of grown detached from this desire, beginning to see how pointless it all really is, as well as how much he's kinda suffered as a human being because of his obsession.

Which brings us to Reggie's school life, which was terrible whenever he went almost all the time. You see, being as smart as Reggie was, he was often ahead of everyone else in the class, and goofed off a lot because of boredom. This caused teachers to think he was begin difficult and to instantly dislike him. It also led to him either getting bullied a lot by other kids who felt inferior or felt that he was using his daddy's money to get by in life, or to get used by others. Throughout his school career, he was often either the butt of some cruel joke or prank, or being led around by some cheerleaders or muscle heads who said they wanted to be 'friends' but just stuck him with their homework and were waiting for him to inherit his father's fortune. 
	School sucked and, by entering middle school, he was about ready to just drop-out and go work in his lab forever. . . that is, until he met his friend Carmen, a fellow inventor of things, as well as a fellow outcast because of him being an albino, among other things. It started off with Reggie making what was likely some offensive comment about how Carmen looked like a Gem, and spiraled into life-long friendship. Carmen, being more social-grounded then Reggie could ever hope to be, helped him come out of his shell and gradually ge tmore comfortable talking with people, though he never quite lost his quirks. In return, Reggie gave Carmen lot's of advice, resources for building cool shit, and connections to cool intern ships, as well as first dibs on trying out some of his cooler stuff. Said stuff also comes with the propensity for exploding and or back-firing a bit or causing strange, usually temporary side-effects, however, so it was something best left denied when whatever gizmo he worked up seemed a bit fishy.
	Any way, with both of them now in college, Reggie more so he can hang out with Carmen then anything else, they compete in all manner of cool projects together. One of the latest was using old gem-tech Reggie had found in a nearby kindergarten to make an improved hover-board of sorts. It's still in the testing phase, but results have been promising and the need to wear safety gear diminishing. Unfortunately, Reggie still needs a few things to make the hover-board really work right, and that going to require more forays into the Kindergarten. Eh, what's the worst that could possible happen, these places have been dead for centuries, if not millennia. The chance of anything bad happening on this trip were just overwhelming miniscule . . so why did he still have a bad feeling in his chest.
Other:

Gear:

Gem Interface Matrix: Let's him use Gem stuff around 45-50% of the time

Hover-board prototype: Good for short distance travel or when you need to make a jump, but still a bit finicky at the best of times, so relying on it to run from a monster, not a good idea.

Gem-boosted Taser gun: Take Taser gun, plug in Gem Power crystal, watch as watermelons get blown to bits, wonder why you haven't destroyed it yet, remember that popping watermelons is fun.

Can of Pepper-Spray: Because the Taser is out of the question for any non-fruit/vegetable he comes across.

Cutting Edge gaming laptop: Top of the line with graphics so fine

Handy-haversack: Not a real handy-haver sack, you've yet to invent that. However,  it does auto-organize things for you, so that's cool. Full of books, various tools for scavenging gem tech, and a book on gem identification, so he can see if he can identify any loose shards he finds.
