[i]"That's the thing - I'm completely sane. Now, why do I look unhinged? Because life's not worth feeling sad, so I strive for constant pleasure and pride. That, friend, is why I revel everywhere from the battlefields to the bathhouses." -JT. [/i] [b]Name: [/b]John "JT" Truman: Subject JT890M. [b]Alias(es): [/b]The Frontiersman, The Marshal, The Outlaw, The Techno-Cowboy. [b]Species: [/b]Atlas. [b]Gender: [/b]Male. [b]Age: [/b]40 mentally, only a few weeks physically. [b]Appearance: [/b] [spoiler]Overtop the mechanical layers of skin and metal organs, beyond his fleshy brain, is a tanned skin comprised of rubber. JT has light cyan eyes to remind him of his people when he looks in the mirror, light red hair and a matching beard, and he stands at 6'3" with a brad-shouldered physique and a muscular body. His face is rather angular and comes with a strong jaw. [/spoiler] [b]Body: [/b] [spoiler]Mark. IV "Cyborg" Body. JT's body is not a complex beast. He is just a regular dude, with skin of rubber overtop a chassis of carbon fibre and ceramic. Just for his right arm and parts of his face mind you, as he's mostly human with this form. [/spoiler] [b]Gear: [/b] [spoiler][b]Champions' Rifle: [/b]A black and golden rifle taking the same appearance as a Winchester rifle, JT's gun is fitted to fire any bullet up to a 50.BMG round. Usually he loads in bullets big enough to do the job, as excess is rather wasteful. [b]Grimace & Scowl: [/b]A pair of black revolvers, each fitted to fire six 50. Beowulf rounds from their barrels. Due to this, they are rather large around the top and heavy for the average man, although JT seems proficient with these two weapons. [b]Memory: [/b]A dagger of a strange material dubbed "Chaos Metal," this foot-long blade is a rather ornate-looking one with jewels and a brown hilt, and as such is cherished by JT. It can grow up to fifty feet when swung to meet the target needed and is nearly unbreakable, and it coined its name when it was gifted to him by an old friend. [b]Lasso: [/b]A lasso made of a strange rope-like element named Casthanum, which allows this lasso to be strong as steel yet flexible enough to hogtie people as needed, or climb things - Whatever JT needs it to do really. [b]Hunter's Friend: [/b]Green bowie knife, meant for skinning things when JT kills an animal in hunting. He prefers not to use Memory for such a task, as this was an old favourite weapon to him. [b]Hat: [/b]JT's hat has a razor sharp edge, which allows him to kill things in case he's disarmed. [b]Triple Tap: [/b]A triple barreled shotgun with a barrel trio that forms a pyramid shape, JT's shotgun fires 12 gauge slugs with depleted uranium tips for busting through armour - Tanks use them for AP shells - and it also fires basic buckshots and beanbags. [b]Klink: [/b]A revolver firing .44's, each shot heated to 1200 degrees Kelvin. JT mainly uses it for breaching walls and such. [/spoiler] [b]Armour: [/b] [spoiler]JT's armour is an older model of a scavenged suit he found in Cylak not too long ago, during Operation Black Acid, an Extryte classified operation. It is multiple inches of ceramic and steel with a layer of shock-absorbing gel underneath it, and a layer of carbon fibre overtop the exosuit it uses to support the weight. JT doesn't need to fight in it, he just likes it because he doesn't want to damage his body - He still feels pain, after all. The suit comes with a grenade launcher built onto the left arm that can activate itself when JT needs to toss smoke grenades into a room, or perhaps send frags out to the enemy. Otherwise it's just got a HuD and not much else, simple really. [/spoiler] [b]Augmentations: [/b] [spoiler]JT has a variety of augs, some passive, some activated. Neural Uplinks: Provides JT with a Heads Up Display to let JT place custom waypoints, like a video game would have. They also give JT access to Tag Sight, which paints enemies red and lets JT's arms automatically lock-on and fire at the enemy, accounting for lead and all. Cyber-Pariah's Arm: A modified replica of the arm that once belonged to the legendary Cobalt Phoenix, JT's arm is a custom built model that carries the same drill properties that Cobalt's once had, although JT is able to activate a secondary aug inside it called the Anchor - A grappling hook that he gained in Cedyetica. It has a tertiary aug, which loads grease into it and fires out shots of flaming grease fires from his fingertips. This is uncovered by the rubber skin and is made of carbon fibre, completely black with an orange stripe running diagonally down the top of his arm. In the middle of the stripe is a blue bird, the sigil of the Cobalt Phoenix, with the letter J to its left and the letter T to its right, in a dirt brown colour. He calls it the Cyber-Pariah's Arm, as Cobalt wwas known as a Pariah, and JT hails from a Cyberpunk dystopia land. (NOTE: The actual prosthetic is elsewhere, with other trophies of JT's.) Frequency Scanner: JT's left eye is a cybernetic, equipped with an aug that lets him see multiple wavelengths on thee light spectrum, from thermal and UV to even radiowaves and microwaves. [/spoiler] [b]Notable Influences In His Life: [/b] [spoiler]In no particular order: Lance May, the man who JT found a deep respect for and rather enjoyed dealing with. Etana Lutu, a god friend who he knew he could confide in. Aaron Sawyer, his commanding officer on the SHG Avalon many years ago, and a commander he respected. Keri (Forget the surname), a woman he can rely on and love. Irina Elizia, a capable fighter who JT once considered a close friend in a time with none. Damien (Never knew the surname), a powerful fighter that JT enjoyed interacting with and respected. Jack Frost, the man JT somewhat liked onboard the Avalon. And finally, Lena, JT's first real love and the woman he vows to keep in memory daily. [/spoiler] [b]Bio: [/b] [spoiler]No. If you want this, ask JT for stories of his past. He's accumulated enough to give you a new one often enough, and he's got knowledge on the Dojo history and the stories of many other places he's chronicled in his time at the Dojo. [/spoiler]
