Re: Last Resort (Character Sheets, Sign-up, and OOC)
Character Name: Operative #366 "Phantasm" - Real name undisclosed.
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Prosthesis: Phantasm has no direct modifications to her biology from the use of technology, however, her combat suit features systems to amplify all sound, to cling to surfaces against the will of gravity, and to make her footsteps and movements utterly silent,as well as standard communication equipment, equipped to broadcast using all known coding techniques. On top of this, the construction prevents her from returning motion sensor signal on standard radar-based infantry interception turrets, as well as neutralising her thermal output by synchronising it with the outside temperatures. The suit has a limited camouflaging feature, changing only general colours to match with the environment, and can only cater for a small number of scenarios - Snow, Urban, Jungle, or standard black.
Description: This Operative hails from a black ops military division, as part of an elite unit specialising in assassination, search-and-destroy, and special ops. That is to say, ops that no one else wants to do, involving particularly dangerous hostile aliens, or the paranormal. Standing at approximately 5"6, she doesn't strike an imposing figure - at least, she wouldn't, if she wore civvies. Standard combat gear for Operatives is a jet black soft suit, with pressure-sensitive hardening designed to deflect or absorb small arms fire, coupled with an imposing black helmet, with a single visor slit in the shape of a Y. Her voice is unmodulated, a low, but feminine alto, that is rarely used outside of reports and confirmations.
The suit doesn't hide her gender, though. Part of the requirements for effective stealth mean it has to be form-fitting.. which means her C cup, and near-hourglass figure are not exactly concealed. If anything, Phantasm is just a little too lean to have a "perfect figure" - but that is expected in her line of work.
In combat, Phantasm strikes as her name would suggest, like a ghost. That's where the numerous weapons strapped and concealed around her suit come in. The lines of the suit conceal approximately 22 sheathed knives, 30 concealed needles, 5 explosive packs, and about 40 feet of high-strength paracord. Trained for speed, stealth, and agility, combined with her own unique abilities, Phantasm specialises in swift, devastating hit-and-run tactics, plunging the enemy into confusion by taking out the leaders, and the lights.
Weapons: Along with a lethal artistry hand-to-hand, and an ease with blades, whether it be throwing, or using them in a more.. personally gratifying fashion, 366 carries a pair of silenced pistols, and a crossbow. The pistols are relatively standard in design for CQC dual-wielding, two 21-round magazines with customised grips and laser sights in red and green, with a very light trigger break for quick firing. The noise produced is lower than might be expected - around the level of someone breathing out gently. The only other thing 366 relies on regularly, is a wrist-mounted basic EMP, designed to target light sources, recharging from her suit systems.
Genetic mutations: Even without the suit, without the training, 366 is different from just about everyone. This occurred as a result of a highly classified incident on a nowhere base, that the soldier formerly known as Corporal Serena Hekaxos ended up as Operative 366. This incident resulted in the death of all other personnel on the base, 289 men and 31 women. The specifics are unknown, but the base was declared unusable afterwards, and only the most battle-hardened medics were allowed to enter. The incident resolved itself with the death of the hostile creature that had been killing people, and the near-fatal wounding of Corporal Hekaxos. The military report following this incident was quickly classified, but the contents revealed a change in the good corporal. As well as an impossible increase (one supposedly unsupportable by the human nervous system) in reaction time, coordination, and movement speed, the subject was observed to literally vanish in one spot, and re-appear in another, an estimated maximum of ten meters away. The researcher's notes added that this only seemed to occur when those watching blinked, or, if the light source flickered in any way. Corporal Hekaxos also displayed a worrying aggression, that resulted in the deaths of two scientists working to examine her.
The last test conducted was electroshock. On observing adrenal spikes whenever the corporal performed her "blink" ability, it was decided that pushing pain levels would produce a similar reaction. After approximately an hour of steadily increasing voltages, all electrical devices, including a video camera recording the treatment room, suddenly went blank. The facility was found some days later, with no survivors. It is presumed that the corporal was at this time taken into the custody of the Black Ops agency behind the Operatives. It is interesting to note that the surviving video footage of the corporal during the periods when she was not undergoing testing shows her presence as little more than a blur - the only detail is available as she sleeps. Despite the fact that the camera was recording at approximately 30 frames a second.
Before joining the military, Serena Hekaxos led an effectively uneventful life. Eldest of four siblings, one deceased due to leukemia, daughter of divorced parents, lower class, her mother worked as a secretary, her father a low-level IT technician. On joining the military she was assigned to a small military base in the Arctic, to guard the scientific installation there, and saw no action for approximately five years. Her scores in the marksmanship tests were high with the standard rifle, but higher with the pistol, and her fitness levels were impressively high. Her record shows she was demoted from Colour Sergeant, after physically attacking a superior officer. This attack resulted in a broken arm and significant bruising, however, the Captain in question had a suspicious record, and was later court-martialled for sexual harassment and rape. After the incident, Corporal Serena was reported alive but wounded, and went into a "military hospital" somewhere in South America. Not long later, a second incident attributed to the same creature led to her disappearance.
Mmmmmk. I think that's everything covered in my head... Any "confidential" information can be disclosed by me.. but only to the GM. I'm not leaving myself open to some sneaky bugger using OOC information IC
. Any problems, hit me up.
