Equipment:
1: "XL System" neural cybernetics.
The XL System is designed to augment reflexive timing in critical situations, allowing faster responses and improved agility. In a combat scenario, this can often mean the difference between life and death, as he can aim at and shoot a target beyond normal human limitations. It functions on a toggle basis, to where Zan has to switch it on and off. However, the system is only safe to use up to a certain point, as extensive use can kill irreplaceable brain cells, and may even cause brain cancer. When active, it projects a meter onto Zan's natural vision, illustrating how long he can use it within safety tolerances. 15% of that meter is used up the moment he switches it on, and another 5% is used up for every 2 seconds (or in RP-specific terms, every turn). The system has a fail-safe in place, so that if the meter reaches zero, the system automatically shuts itself off.
-2: Heat Bayonet.
The Heat Bayonet is pretty much what it says on the tin: a bayonet-sized blade, which can be attached to certain firearms, and rapidly grinds microscopic metal plates against each other to create friction for the heat.
-3: M2031 "Barker" Auto-Pistol.
Pretty self-explanatory as well: a pistol with a rate of fire at about 200 rounds per minute. Zan would have something a little bigger on him, such as an SMG, but he generally has a weapons locker available to get those in.
Bio:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
Zandile is a former ace of the Cosmic Coalition's 5th Flight Squadron, Rank 4. Notable achievements include his air-support solo op in the Dracolite Uprising, and the downing of 15 Ultragian Viking fighters without a wingman. His reflexive skills and quick critical thinking made him a prime candidate for the XL System. His on-foot reputation is relatively normal, but through Project XL, he certainly gains more of an edge.
In terms of personality, Zan has a bit more empathy than you'd expect from a seasoned soldier. This can occasionally work against him, as it has caused him to act rather impulsively in combat scenarios with moral or emotional tension. Thankfully, it hasn't caused any significant problems in the past, but his superiors still saw it as an object of concern.
Zan was originally on the space station for some off-duty vacation time, but obviously, he didn't get to relax very long...
Gameplay:
1: NO RAPING HIM. Those who've chatted with me on Skype likely know this, but I can't RP under conditions where a male gets violated in the same fashion as a female. It's not that I'm homophobic, but more a matter of tastes. It's like if a girl had drawn and colored a
very detailed gay porn comic, and asked me to comment on it...it just won't happen.
2: All creature types are okay, as long as they don't infringe on Rule #1.
