It is certainly not 'optimal', but it *is* doable, depending on what you want to do with it. You could go swords or valor bard and play them more like a warrior with some magical ability

One might say your villain arc has begun. Embrace it.

In other news, work is rather overwhelming, but I am taking a mental health day tomorrow, which means that I'll actually have some breathing room in my schedule. Perhaps I'll be able to get caught up

Cybernetic Enhancements:
Yamatetsu Cybernetics DynamoarmTM - A military grade cybernetic arm, the DynamoarmTM is one a favorite of military personnel seeking to replace missing limbs or 'upgrade' existing ones thanks to its high strength, light weight, modular armor plating, and its extremely precise manual dexterity. While at home in Japan, Donny uses a lighter, treated aluminum alloy instead of military grade armor plating.
Yamatetsu Cybernetics DynashokTM Knuckles - A proprietary add-on for the popular DynamoarmTM, a set of pads built into the knuckles of the cyberarm can deliver an adjustable amount of electricity upon impact. Designed to provide its user with a more subtle means of personal defense, and is powered by a small power core within the arm, which needs replacing after every few usages. While lethal settings are possible, such settings were locked upon Donny's discharge from the military, though a skilled hacker could easily bypass the lock.
Shiwase Subdermal Bone Lacing - Placed within Donny's left arm The lacing's primary function is to counteract minute muscle spasms and random motions, allowing for extremely precise and fine motor control when needed-such as when applying stitches or operating on patients in hectic environment. The lacing can also stiffen upon impact protecting the arms from bruising. This particular augment is very popular amongst military snipers and combat medics alike.
Shiwase BriteLite Cybereyes - A basic set of cybereyes that provide zoom functionality, and a backlight.
Property:
Armalance Streetwise Compact - Another popular pistol by the ubiquitous Armalance, the Armalance Streetwise Compact, is an accurate, rugged and reliable pistol, well loved by military, police, and sport shooters alike. Utilizing the ever common 10mm round, and 10 round magazine this pistol isn't an uncommon site in Japan.
Shiwase Solar Powered Micro Medical Center (SSPMMC) - A 'portable' medical operating unit, with everything one would need for a variety of field care. Portable in the sense that it can be packed up into a whopping 30kg backpack, but utterly dreadful to actually carry around. A hold off from Donny's days in the military, nowadays it usually stays up in his room collecting dust.
Appearance: Tall, and relatively brawny, Donny stands in at about 6 feet in height, and has a build of one used to physical activity. His body bears a couple of scars from a tour in the military, and his hair is short and dark- save for a single shock of white hair. His most noticeable feature would definitely be the cyberarm replacing his right arm- its white aluminum plating a far cry from the tan and olive drab of its original military plates. He dresses fairly casually most of the time, but will often throw a leather jacket on depending on the weather.
Personality traits:

Background: Born and raised in Suribachi, Donny is the youngest of two, and the only son. Donny and his sister spent most of their childhood living with their grandparents, as their parents worked in the city, and their father often traveled for work. Around the age of 8, his parents were divorced, and after a rather messy legal battle, Donny and his sister moved to America with their father.
Not entirely sure of what happened, Donny spent the majority of his teen years with a city sized chip on his shoulder, and held his father responsible for the apparent separation of their family. Throughout his early school years, Donny regularly got into fights and got in trouble for bullying and fighting. Despite his status as a foreigner, Donny quickly pushed and shoved his way to the top of the elementary schoolyard as a kid.
His older sister spent most of her time as Donny's primary caretaker for much of his early life, as their father was often out late for work leaving the kids at home to fend for themselves most of the times. Despite his bold and argumentative demeanor, Donny and his sister Tara got along incredibly well. Donny often regarded his older sister with a sort of reverence, and Tara was able to influence his actions with little more than a word. With more guidance from his sister than anyone else in his life, Donny would eventually turn himself around, eventually graduating from high school.
Donny would forgo college- his father could barely afford to send Tara to school- and instead joined the military after he graduated. Scoring well on his aptitude tests, Donny would find himself in the role of a combat medic, putting himself onto the battlefield with the role of both a fighter and a healer. While not an active or avid combatant, Donny would spend several years and a few tours in foreign countries, and found himself anywhere from the front lines of combat to field hospitals tending to soldiers and civilians alike. After a 4 year career with the U.S. Marines, Donny discharged himself from the military and moved back to Japan, his grandparents failing health being cited as his main reason for returning.
Now back in Suribachi for the past two years, Donny spends most of his time taking care of his grandparents and doing volunteer work around the town- mostly helping out at the Hospital, where his military training is most applicable.
Skills:
Medic - A military trained medic, Donny is capable of a variety of medical procedures, from stitches to surgery and sprained ankles to bullet wounds.
Combat Arms Training - Combat medics are expected to be riflemen as well as medics, and Donny is a capable shot with rifle and pistol alike. Donny is also relatively well versed in personal defense techniques, and can hold his own in a street fight.
Resilience - Bearing copious amounts of physical and mental fortitude, Donny can keep going where someone else would collapse from exhaustion, whether that be carrying heavy things for hours on end, or staying up in a surgery room.
Flaws:
Broke - Altruism is nice, but it doesn't do much to put food on the table. Compound that with the increasing costs of his grandparent's medications, the slow trickle of money from Donny's sister just isn't enough to cover the costs of living. Once what few savings Donny has runs out, well who knows what will happen?.
Medically Indiscriminate - When it comes to helping people, Donny doesn't really care much about who he helps. Unfortunately, looks like other people of more... criminal persuasion take issue when Donny helps people of opposing organizations.

Personality Relaxed and lazy, yet competent and acceptably professional, Tommy is a confident and efficient ODST trooper. A generally good natured man with strong feelings of camaraderie towards team mates. Prideful and loyal, Tommy is unafraid to break protocol and regulations and regularly does so, but can adhere to strict orders when prodded. Casually boastful of his abilities, Kensington has a can-do attitude towards most tasks, though is typically a calm and easy going individual. His confidence and boastful nature often come off as arrogant or ignorant, but his comrades have generally concluded most of his big talk to be hot air to lighten the mood.
Biography Thomas Kensington, also known as "K-Ton", and occasionally "Kilo", or "Kenzie" by his comrades, was an only child, son to an Admiral Kensington and a nurse mother. With a strong military background, Tommy had a fairly rigid childhood, as his parents sent him to military academies for most of his youth, hoping to mold him into the ideal military soldier. As a youth Tommy performed well in school and sports alike, though was often disciplined for disrupting class, fighting and arguing with teachers and students. Nevertheless, Tommy graduated with honors, and upon graduating from high school Tommy forwent a scholarship at the esteemed Reach Military Institute, and joined the UNSC Marine Corps.
Upon graduating from the Marines basic training, Tommy was slotted to a role in with the Combat Engineers, where he worked with machines and equipment, as well as explosives on the frontlines. He served in the Cappadocia Campaign, fighting off a small Covenant attack on one of the outer colonies, where he distinguished himself by converting Scorpion tank canister shells into an improvised explosive trap to incapacitate a sudden attack by Covenant forces on their base. After this campaign, Tommy applied and was recruited into the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers.
After more extensive training, Tommy was accepted into the ranks of the ODSTs, and assigned to the 11th Marine Force Recon. Over the next 4 years, Tommy took place in several campaigns against the Covenant, and traveled across dozens of worlds. As a former engineer, Tommy specialized in dealing with mechanical and electronic systems, as well as explosives and ordnance usage. Tommy was right at home with his brothers landing on planets in SOEIVs, but excelled in tactical operations, where his skill as an engineer shone more than his skill as a rifleman.
At the recommendation of his Platoon leader, Tommy and his team were retasked to the Nimble Spirit, where they were tasked with providing specialized support to other ground teams taking part in Operation Grey-Axe.
