Gaia Name: Thee Stranger
Character Name: William "Blade" Hunter
Age: He has
aged 33 years, but he is actually 131 years old.
Height: 6'3
Weight: 255
Appearance: Blade Hunter - He can often be seen wearing his usual Datafilm suit (shown) which is an incredibly thin bodysuit that transmits the wearer's commands to their Mech. It protects against acids, alkali's and other chemicals, lets sweat escape while repelling water and cushions shock.
Weapons: Ripper-Lance (7.62mm caseless) Assault Rifle: The Ripper-Lance is a standard assault rifle, but it features a built in diamond edged chainsaw. It is supposed to be used for cutting through barbed wire, fencing, and other obstacles. Of course, if a human being happens to get in the way, well, that's dogfood... (Ammo Count: 95)
Araska Kai (10 gauge) Combat Shotgun: This semi-automatic combat shotgun is chambered in 10 gauge. It is tube fed, and also accepts a 15 or 25 round magazine. (Ammo Count: 25)
H&K G38 (5.56mm cased) Sniper Rifle: A complete sniper system that fits in a large briefcase, complete with scope, suppressor, bipod, and 2 magazines. The case it comes in is the same type of attaché used by diplomats, and as such is lead shielded against x-ray. This weapon is the perfect choice for covert work. (Ammo Count: 10)
HP654 "Punisher" (12mm caseless) Handgun: Pretty much just your standard sidearm. The HP654 is a reliable, hard hitting weapon that never fails to impress. It is equipped with your standard laser sighting. (Ammo Count: 24)
Combat Knives: Never leave home without one.
Bio-enhancements: Dermal Temperature Regulator: This implant, which places 5 endothermic strips on the back of the head (shown) 6 along the spine and shoulders, and two on each limb, helps to regulate body temperature, keeping its user warm in cold weather, and cool in the heat. It can offset a bodies surface temperature up to 15 degrees by means of a special material that reacts to surrounding thermal activity and uses small electrical charges to cool or heat the ceramisteel strips placed strategically around the body. In short, Blade never sweats.
Nikon "Spotter" Cyberoptic: A very aesthetically pleasing cyberoptic capable of storing up to 6 display patterns which range from stationary colors to animated patterns or scenes, as well as 6 cyberoptic option spaces and an optional lavender glow. This cybereye was originally designed for field snipers, but has since become increasingly popular with photographers and surveyors. Comes equipped with Advenced tele-optics (twice normal distance) low-light, rangefinder, night vision, image enhancement, and thermograph. Thanks to this implant, Blade is quite the marksman.
Job Title: Gunner
History: Blade's history is a mystery, even to him. One of the few things he
does know about himself is that he was born sometime in the year 2484 A.D. He and his wife, Karen, were discovered sometime in the year 2611 by the
7th Cyberian Investigative Neutral Force. They were found in a long since abandoned underground military bunker in a state of cryogenic slumber. The search team discovered three cryogenic sleep capsules; one of which had already been jettisoned. The starting date for the hibernation sequence on each one of the pods read
3/8/2515 - the date most know as, "the world's end". The hibernation duration on both Blade and Karen's pods were set to
Permanent. The team was unable to recover the wake date for the third pod. Blade and Karen were then both taken into protective custody, and released later that same year. Due to the fact that they were in such an unusually long hyper-sleep, both Blade and Karen suffered from severe amnesia. Furthermore, their permanent records were government classified, and not even
they were permitted to view them. Being that Blade and Karen had absolutely no memories together, there was very little to base a relationship on, and they eventually separated. In the following year, Blade was offered a job with the military, which he accepted. He became a soldier and a Mech pilot. The military "upgraded" him with various tactical implants, and sent him on numerous missions to eliminate various "water hunter" transports and other outlaws. Life seemed to drone on meaninglessly, as he had no idea who he really was, or even if he was fighting for the right side. The government he was working for wouldn't even give him the answers to his own past. He began to dislike the cruel methods of his employers, and eventually went AWOL. During his illegal leave of absence, Blade took a trip to the military bunker in which he and his wife were recovered. Upon arrival, he had discovered that it had been converted into an underground reservoir, which the Crimson Wolves were in the process of raiding. Blade was caught in the middle of the battle, and nearly killed. However, the Crimson Wolves saved his life, and brought him aboard their crawler as a Gunner. Blade is now a full-fledged Mercenary.
Other: He has the same frequent, reoccurring
dream most every night. ((Magnify the picture so you can read the screen and get the full effect. XD))
