Codename: [LACUNA LYNX]
Gender: Male
Age: 32 (?)
Occupation: STARS Operative
Lacuna Lynx is the codename for the enigmatic soldier and operative of STARS, Special Tactical and Reconnaissance Service. This organization of secret nature and unknown allegations is working daily in order to protect the world. Lynx is STARS's top agent, famed for his skills at infiltration and capability to adapt to various combat situations. He's a literal one man army who regularly overcame odds and forces by his sheer ability and genuine cunning. He often manages to accomplish missions which would anyone else feel it's impossible. Lynx keeps fighting, not out of personal gain but for his genuine feelings to keep the world at peace. He's a man of duty who's determined to accomplish his objective regardless of the circumstances. As such some people call him the "greatest soldier to ever live".
Appearance:
There are a number of conflicting reports regarding the appearance of Lacuna Lynx but overall he's described as a tall lean Caucasian male with about 190 cm in height. He has brown, light brown or maybe dirty blond hair usually with cleanly shaven facial features. Albeit some sources describe him with stubble or a circular beard. His outfit would change depending on his mission and given the stealthy nature of his approach combined with the frequent use of disguises the witnesses' testimony conflicts a lot. After through analysis and filtering it could be determined that Lynx is often wearing a certain uniform or most likely a suit with advanced design. His suit is also equipped with many belts, weapon holsters and pouches; the kind of package one could expect from a soldier on mission. Though his most telling feature is an old bandanna, witnesses calling it from gray to navy blue in color and told to be the same piece of cloth since 2003. This bandanna is warped around his forehead with two long strides to weave freely in the wind or when Lynx is on the move.
Personality:
Lacuna Lynx is generally seen as a serious no nonsense person. He's always focused and prefers to only talk when it's necessary. Lynx is a seriously dutiful soldier putting his mission before his feelings or even his own safety. He saw many horrible things and the nearly two decades of fighting made Lynx noticeably jaded. In spite of that Lynx has a firm belief in the potential of humans and wishes for true world peace. Yet his blood calls for battle, only feeling alive when he's on the battlefield. This contradiction gradually tears him from within, experiencing nightmares regularly. To run away from his idle thoughts Lynx became a workaholic, nearly always busy with some sorts of covert mission. The term "relax" gradually lost its meaning from his encyclopedia. That being said Lynx could be surprisingly easygoing at times and once you hit a common topic in private Lynx is rather talkative and knowledgeable in various fields. The burden of killing and seeing so many people die through his career also weighs down heavily on Lynx. His policy is to never leave a comrade or innocent people to die and if he can help it Lynx avoids killing his enemies. if he has to choose between few lives or endangering his own Lynx would act without any hesitation. So long he sees a chance to save even one life Lynx cannot allow himself to give up. This unyielding strong will is sometimes allows him to do things everyone else thought to be impossible.
Powers:
-
Veteran Soldier: Lynx is a highly trained soldier with expertise in practically all fields of combat. He's a marksman, a marine, a bomb specialist, a secret agent and many more. He can even fight with Japanese swords if needed. His versatile skills and depth of experience is what makes him such an invaluable asset to STARS.
-
CQC: Lynx also knows CQC, an obscure martial arts developed during the Cold War which is only referred by this non-indicative name. CQC combines the essence of countless forms of martial arts to develop the ultimate style for the modern battlefield. CQC incorporates the use of knives or lighter guns along with self-defense moves for maximum efficiency. Some stances with CQC empathize one-on-one exchanges while others to manage entire groups of enemies. Regardless these share the same objective, to neutralize the enemy as quick as possible. The existence of "CQC" is largely a secret to the world but Lynx had the luck to be trained by one of the two people who actually developed this style.
-
Willpower Liberation: Lynx's strength of will is literally his most powerful asset. Albeit the reason is not properly understood but during certain situations Lynx's beliefs can become a reality. In spite of being a regular human Lynx can semi-frequently dodge bullets or pull off other superhuman feats in battle. The effect is usually just temporarily and rather unpredictable but it's often enough to help Lynx deal with a certain danger. Other examples include Lynx charging batteries by eating glowcap mushrooms or that one time when his magazine didn't run out of ammunition because he drew an infinity sign on it. In addition this makes Lynx highly resistant to mental powers, be it telepathy, telekinesis or its derivatives. His will is too strong to be controlled. Still, despite the fact his willpower can allow him to surpass his limits, Lynx is a regular human about 90% of the time during missions. He can match a bullet-timing Samurai but then in the next minute he may be pressured by a squad of well-trained soldiers.
-
Stealth: Lacuna Lynx is a master at infiltration and stealth. His footsteps practically never make a noise and he can sneak up on people even when he's almost at plain sight. He had breached countless high-security places albeit his records aren't flawless. Still, his ability at infiltration borders the impossible and the best representation of this is the cardboard box. Used in Iraq first, Lynx quickly gained notoriety to somehow managing to walk past guards by using nothing but a cardboard box. Some experts suggest Lynx's unique abilities with his willpower but the nature of Lynx's use of the cardboard box is just a mystery. Another unusually extreme occurrence was when Lynx accidentally managed to infiltrate an alternate dimension with no conceivable methods to even enter it.
General Equipment:
Lynx has the highly advanced and at times even futuristic equipment of STARS at his disposal. It gives him the edge he needs in order to complete his mission.
-
Sneaking Suit: High-tech military outfit used by STARS agents for decades. It's a form-fitting body-suit covering the wearer from the neck down. It's designed to give the wearer maximal mobility with reduced signature to most detection means and extensive electronics for sensor and analysis systems installed. They also provide surprising amount of protection against environmental hazards, allowing Lynx to walk through acids and fire or to survive even during the most excessive winters. Lynx wears the latest 4th generation sneaking suit which implements the new HoloCamo technology.
-
HoloCamo: Technology built in to Lynx's new Sneaking Suit, allowing to fluidly change his camo pattern to mimic any surface he's currently in touch with. If calibrated well enough HoloCamo can be also used to project the image of various objects around Lynx's body, providing an instant disguise. HoloCamo is actually an off-shoot from the earlier development of StealthCamo which made the user completely invisible. Lynx refused that device, believing such thing would lull agents into a false sense of security. Albeit with brief tempering HoloCamo could be still made to work like StealthCamo. In addition the holographic field redirects most electromagnetic waves thus preventing detection by radars and heat sensors. The latter makes 4th generation Sneaking Suits practically undetectable with anything but the naked eye.
-
Four-Dimensional Weapons Rack (FDWR): Special system now commonly used by STARS agents. The details are currently unclear but STARS operatives seem to carry massive amount of arms and ammunition without these seemingly put anywhere on them. It isn't unusual to see Lynx or anyone else to suddenly pull out a Stinger Missile from behind the empty space of their backs. The answer lies in numerous small devices that are capable of temporally opening paths to the mysterious fourth dimension of space, expanding their carrying capacity to borderline ridiculous levels. Lynx could carry maybe even a hundred of Stinger Missiles with almost as many launcher systems yet it never encumbering him.
-
LYNX Eye: Large sensor and data processing terminal worn as an eyepiece over the left eye. The name is a subtle reference to both the device's purpose (Lynx Eye AKA the "all-seeing eye") and its first ever user (Lacuna Lynx). The LYNX Eye is an advanced device allowing the user to combine many vision modes, sensory data and receive a quick feed of valuable information in real time. It checks the surroundings, highlights traps, calculate trajectories, identify weapons, analyze the enemy's status, automatically record name plates or identification markings and so on. The full list of functions on the LYNX Eye are borderline miraculous. Yet for the same reason mastering the device is difficult and STARS plans to develop a simplified version for general use. Currently the only experimental unit is issued for Lacuna Lynx who puts it under extensive field test. It's also worth noting that after the latest upgrade the LYNX Eye sports a miniaturized magic detector. It can accurately detect and distinguish various magic sources or other kinds of supernatural powers. It also features a prototype magic analyzer but it only feeds raw data to the special support crews who'd then process it to assist
-
Soliton Radar: Revolutionary new type of radar which produces four-dimensional mapping of the surroundings. Soliton Radars are fast and working with extreme accuracy. Their principles can be also implemented for nearly all kinds of detection. By tracking the weak waves of bio-electricity Soliton Radar can even detect the presence of living beings and properly distinguish them based on size. The mechanics of why Starting from the 2.5th generation Sneaking Suits have integrated Soliton Radars within them as a basic feature. The person-searching function is also often refered as AP Sensor (Anti-Personnel Sensor) and under standard circumstances it has the detection range of 50 meters. The reason is currently unknown but Lynx's soliton radar unit could even detect the presence of ghosts during a certain mission.
-
Codec System: A communication system using quantum entanglement. It's rather reliable system which allow Lynx to be in contact with his superior (whom he just calls Colonel) and various experts. This links works at practically any distance and was proven to work even through dimensions. Another interesting feature is how time almost seems to stop while having a codec call. The condensed hi-speed information feed means that even though for Lynx the codec call seems to last for minutes in effect they're done within an instant.
Weapons:
As the member of STARS Lynx has access to a wide range of weaponry. Albeit there are a few of these Lynx prefers the most.
-
Modified Beretta M9: Heavily modfied version of the old Beretta M9 with tritium-illuminated iron sights, in-built heavy-duty suppressor/silencer and the capability to fire tranquilizer dart projectiles. This version was custom made the demands of STARS, with high-quality materials to improve weapon life and reliability. The darts are also capable of penetrating body armor yet outfitted with an intelligent mechanism that causes them to break apart against softer targets (otherwise they'd be no longer called non-lethal weapons). STARS also uses special chemical in their tranquilizer, capable of knocking out even the largest mammals with a single well-placed shot yet perfectly safe to use. These features make the modified M9 one of Lynx's favorite sidearms.
-
Mk. 23 Mod 7 SOCOM: Large bulky pistol firing .45 bullets. While a bit unwieldy for most soldiers the SOCOM is extremely reliable and sports incredible accuracy. Mod 7 is a special variation built for STARS, with unique supersonic suppressor for the new programmable high-velocity bullets standardized for them since 2010. The SOCOM's magazine has the capacity of 12 bullets plus one already in the chamber. Lynx uses this as an alternative sidearm when firepower matters more.
-
Tavor TAR-21X2 Assault Rifle: Israeli bullpup rifle modified for STARS personnel. It fires new 6.8mm high-velocity programmable bullets to be utilized for various roles without requiring loading different projectiles.
-
Grenades: Lynx can create various grenades: smoke, chaff, EMP, Flashbang and various advanced offensive and defensive grenades. The XM4 Mod. 2 Grenade is an unique invention which spreads sharpnels only in the direction of hostiles and those not protected by friendly IFF signals.
-
C4 Charges: Standard explosives that can be remote, timed or proximity activated and used for demolition.
-
Claymore-X Mine: New and improved Claymore mine developed for counter diverse range of threats.Instead of pellets it unleashes dozens of small explosively formed penetrators. The power and number of these penetrators as such the triggering mechanism can be adjusted prior to set-up, giving it great diversity
-
FIM-92XOF Stinger-X MANPAD: Shortly referred only as the Stinger Missile, this is an extensively modified version of the military-use FIM-92 Stinger man-portable anti-aircraft system. Unlike that, though the Stinger-X utilizes technology decades ahead of its time and outfitted to become a general purpose weapon. The Stinger X features a simplified integrated AI combined with a highly adjustable warhead and missile control system. In short, the Stinger-X is faster, smarter, outfitted with many sensors and have multiple blast modes.
