GENDER: Male. SEXUALITY: Heterosexual. OCCUPATION: Member of the TALONS (Tactical Assault and Lethal Organism Neutralisation Squad) for the company Icarus Unlimited. PLACE OF BIRTH: New Hamburg, Hahmland. RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Unknown, believed to be sexually exclusive. FAMILY: It is believed his parents and two younger brothers still reside within Hamburg, though he barely has any contact with them. Jones is the closest thing to a family that he has. HEIGHT: 5’11” WEIGHT: 154lbs EYE COLOR: Dark brown HAIR COLOR: Varies due to constant dying its colour, though most commonly black and/or red. MORAL ALIGNMENT: His allegiance stand with the organisation. However, he shows an unusual level of allegiance to his partner, Mr. Jones. Should be watched. AURA COLOR: N/A FACE CLAIM: Reno - Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT: A standard single-handed Baton with a retractable tip. Metal with a custom leather handle, seemingly for comfort purposes, and an attached leather wrist-strap, obviously for slightly more control while in use and so it cannot easily be dropped. The baton can usually be found either in the inside of Mr. Vegas’ blazer pocket, hanging out of his trouser pocket, sticking out of the back of his trousers, or within his hand; he seems to have no standard place that he keeps it. No enchantments present upon the choice weapon, and very few customisations present either. Evaluation; basic yet seemingly effective. SPECIAL SKILLS: Vegas is a renowned genius with an assumed IQ of roughly 200. He is able to take apart and build just about anything, and excels in all of the known variations of science and engineering. Vegas is also skilled in using countless forms of vehicles, including a variety of different sized cars and trucks, as well as small aircraft and helicopters. Exceedingly confident, Vegas has made a name for himself as a womaniser, often boasting that there isn’t a woman alive that can resist his charm and good looks. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: The most plain aspect of Vegas is his attire. Seeing that Vegas is on call 24/7, he is constantly obligated to wear his work uniform at all times. The uniform consists of a black suit, both trousers and a zip-up blazer, a plain white shirt, black polished shoes and a black tie; the standard uniform of a the TALONS. The uniform is designed to give everyone within the team a matching professional and serious appearance for the eyes of the public. However, as expected Vegas is a lot less attentive to the dress code stipulations than that of his fellow colleagues. As well as refusing to wear the tie, Vegas also leaves his blazer un-zipped, his shirt un-tucked and a fair few buttons at the top of his shirt undone - despite constantly being asked not to do so. He also refuses to take off his personal goggles, which are always across the top of his head - if only to seemingly keep his hair out of his eyes, as he doesn’t appear to use them. “Professional yet comfortable; perfect.” as he often remarks. Vegas has a very slender figure and very prominent features, much like you would find on a male model. His legs seem unnaturally long in proportion to the rest of his body, but this appears to be an optical illusion of sorts as he is quite short in reality - falling shy of 6ft. He has very little hair on his body, although this may be due to self-cosmetic purposes, and to our knowledge he has no blemishes or even tattoos present across the entirety of his body, bar one more recent scar on his left shoulder. This has been confirmed from several female sources throughout the company. PERSONALITY: Vegas is widely known by his colleagues for being two things, lazy and clever; too clever for his own good, but mostly lazy. He is extremely intelligent, a classified genius in fact, but he knows it and can often be rather smug about it at times. He has a fascination with all things technical and is an avid computer gamer (his favourite game being Final Fantasy VII - which is probably quite obvious, as he models himself quite a lot on the character known as Reno), as well as being a lover of all things anime and manga related; in many ways he could very well be summed up as the definition of the word ’Geek’. Vegas is also a bit of a health freak, normally shunting junk food and other such harmful aspects of everyday life and instead opting for much healthier options, though at times he can be a bit of a hypocrite, indulging his temptations and throwing his cares to the wind - his partner, Jones, is always quick to point out the hypocrisy and an argument almost always ensues. Other points that have been noted about his personality are that at times he comes across as cocky and cynical, however in truth he is actually more clumsy and a lot less cynical than he appears. He is also somewhat the ‘comic-relief’ in his partnership with Jones. Being as lazy as he is, Vegas relies quite a lot on Jones to keep him in check and active, which works at times, but on the whole it has most certainly had the opposite effect, Vegas proving to be a ‘bad influence’ on Jones. This will need to be addressed before it becomes an issue. HISTORY: Born in the capital city of Hahmland, New Hamburg, Vegas had a relatively average childhood within a typical, lower-to-middle class family, and though he had been born a child genius, his family were unable to afford the costs to send him to a private school. It was clear that public school would only damper his intelligence and future prospects, ruining his chances of fulfilling his potential later in life, and so a benefactor stepped in and funded a scholarship for Vegas, allowing him the chance to join private school and get the best education that money could buy. Once in school he quickly progressed through his early education and likewise through his secondary school life, excelling in every subject unlike any other child there. Before long he was in collage, at the extremely young and unusual age of fourteen - a record, by all accounts. By the time he had turned eighteen he had already graduated with a doctorate degree from a very highly graded University in the city of Machinan, which indicated a high, if not the highest, level of academic achievement within Metropazia. Before long he moved to Isysia and successfully completed a Habilitation degree, officially the highest degree attainable anywhere. He did all of this before he turned twenty. Straight out of university Vegas was approached by the company, taken on and thrown in the deep end. With prior knowledge of his academic achievements, and with extremely high expectations, Vegas was immediately placed in charge of his own science department. During the following years that Vegas remained in charge of his science team they discovered and created some of the most brilliant advancements in technology that the world had ever known (a detailed list of all such advancements can be found in file ‘SA-5721017-008’), and before long he had been given control of the entire scientific department, spanning an entire floor at Icarus Unlimited headquarters, with unlimited resources at their disposal. However all good things must come to an end and after four years in charge of his own department Vegas was scouted for a relatively new team of select individuals within the company, the Investigation Sector of the General Affairs Department (or the TALONS, as Vegas personally decided to refer to them as). He was one of the youngest and earliest members of the team, number eight of a total sixteen. Sixteen specifically selected individuals, though over the years the teams numbers have slowly dwindled, for various reasons, and now there are no more than six of them remaining; Jones and Vegas included. Despite his faults in the time since joining the team, Vegas and his partner (see Jones’ personal file for further details on him) are yet to be given a mission or task that they haven’t seen through to the end and completed to a high standard – even if at times they have taken it upon themselves to make decisions that were beyond their position. Basic Abilities: Overview of subject’s basic power levels and of basic physic abilities (on scale from 3=highest to 1=lowest, as per usual in reports):
ADVANCED ABILITIES: 1) Organic Steel - It is believed that the “liquid metal” that Vegas holds within his bloodstream has, over time, formed to become part of his DNA structure, and as such has created an ‘organic steel’ within his body. It is because of this, it is believed, that Vegas has the ability to transform his entire body, covering it in a layer of ‘organic steel‘, which holds properties analogous to osmium, but of a still unknown composition. In his armoured form Vegas possesses superhuman levels of strength and superhuman durability, the upper limits of which are unknown. The transformation isn’t instantaneous, but it doesn’t seem to take too long either - varying from a few seconds to almost ten, seemingly depending on fatigue. Generally it begins on the lower half of his body and works it’s way up, although this isn’t always so. While in his armoured form Vegas requires no food, water, or even oxygen to sustain himself, and is mostly resistant to injury. He is capable of withstanding great impacts, high calibre bullets, falls from great heights, temperature extremes of hot and cold, electricity, and certain supernatural attacks. When he transforms he generally gains around a foot in height and his weight is at least doubled (though let it be noted that he appears to have control over this factor in the change), however this means that his reaction time and movement also logically drop by a significant amount, not to mention it leads to other problems such as the structure support of specific surroundings (several floors at HQ have had to be repaired and strengthened on the road to this conclusion). Due to this sub-ability being a direct result of Vegas’ ability to manipulate the organic steel within his own body, it is widely believed that the duration of this metal coating is much the same as his limitations with his ‘Metallickinesis’; remaining for extended periods of time within the metal coating uses enormous amounts of physic energy and thus puts massive strain on his mind - the length of time he can keep this form maintained, especially under strain, is unknown. 2) Condit - A by-product of his ‘organic steel’ has granted Vegas the ability to act as a Condit, enabling him to conduct different forms of energy such as heat, electricity and cold (though not limited to) into his body with the means to disperse it at will. When releasing the energy it can be released in one of two known ways: 1) as steam into the surrounding area (think of how water rapidly evaporates), or 2) the exact same way it came to be conducted. For example, if fire were to engulf Vegas, he could conduct it and then expel it out of him once more, however the downside is that it would be a stray, singular blast of fire. It would not have its previous stability and he would not hold any manipulation capabilities over it. A major disadvantage to this is that it seems that if Vegas holds the said energy within his body for too long, or conflicting energies for that matter (Fire and Ice, Electricity and Water, etc.), they can have a negative effect on his body, causing it to temporarily shut down, rending him paralysed or unconscious. The length of the ‘shut down’ varies depending on the specific energy, the amount and the length of time it’s within his body. ULTIMATE ABILITIES: Metallickinesis - Is the ability to control and manipulate different forms of metal (science team report in file VT-001). Vegas is capable of generating magnetic fields, enabling him to control, but not limited to, ferrous metals such as iron, steel, etc. (see attachment below for further explanation). (Basic Summery of Metallic Manipulation Applications) Vegas has the ability to manipulate metal in a variety of different ways. He can use magnetic fields, which he seemingly creates using his physic capabilities, to move and otherwise alter objects composed of ferrous metals, sometimes weighing many thousands of tons - but apparently at an extremely high mental cost. He can project ferrous metals at reasonably high velocity, liquefy and reshape them, affect diamagnetic substances to a limited extent, and achieve a wide range of other, linked, effects; it is also theorised that he can even manipulate iron in the human bloodstream. Presumably as a manifestation to his manipulation over metallic substances and ability to generate magnetic fields, Vegas is also able to liquefy and absorb the metal into his body, and in turn his bloodstream. However, as he is absorbing the metal into his body and bloodstream he can only absorb as much as they will allow space for. Think of it as filling a cup with water, sooner or later it’s going to start overflowing, no matter how big the cup is; this is the only logical theory we have come to, and Vegas still refuses to give any information on the matter to us. Vegas is also able to expel the said liquefied metal from his body at will, as projectiles for example, but as the metal has become part of his blood using the metal is one in the same as using his blood and the human body cannot survive without a certain amount of blood within its system, meaning there is a limit and the danger of fatality with overexerting himself. His ability is not limited to metals containing traces of Iron, but are far less effective without it. As a result of his manipulation being directly linked to abnormal amounts of physic power it is believed that overexertion will cause extreme pain, harm and strain on his mental state, and through it, his body. | [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true][atrb=valign,top][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=style, width: 40px;][STYLE=background-color: #f1e3b4; font-family: courier new; font-size: 30px; color: #404040; min-height: 150px; padding: 5px; text-align: center; moz-border-radius: 0px 10px 10px 0px; -o-border-radius: 0px 10px 10px 0px; border-radius: 0px 10px 10px 0px; -webkit-border-radius: 0px 10px 10px 0px;]M r V e g a s[/style] |
