User:Arnout aka The Emperors Angel/RPG/Arnout Fowl

Character

 * Name: Arnout Fowl
 * Secret Identity: Raven
 * Age: 23 years
 * Weight: 85 kg, 243 in suit (170 pounds, 486 in suit (roughly)
 * Height: 182 cm (6 ft 1 inc)
 * Eyes: Blue
 * Hair: Short (12 mm) blond
 * Gender: Male
 * Super-secret origin story: A smart kid, born in a middle class family, living the good life until he went to university. Liking chemistry, he chose it as his main subject. Not long after he started, he discovered the most fun thing about chemistry; explosions! (And fireballs.)
 * Learning quickly about the best way to blow things up, he one day messed up. A show explosion gone awry, he lost his hands (and his eyelashes!). But being the idiot and naive fool he was, he volunteered for a cybernetics programme, run by the university’s medical department.
 * After receiving state-of-the-art artificial hands, which were linked to his nervous system, the military became interested.
 * His new hands where prototypes that had seen use before, but not with great success. Arnout could do better with his artificial hands then with his old hands. So the military “volunteered” him for a human-computer interface, the new kind of AI. Or so they thought.
 * After black-bagging him, and hot wiring him into the military network, he quickly broke through the firewall holding him in check, and discovered the military’s one and only Sniper Non Lethal Personal Protection Suit unit (SNLPPS) prototype in the lab next to the lab they were holding him. In the middle of the night, he had the robot interface transferred to the suit, and broke free from his restrains. He got in the suit, and now hunts for the people who ruined his life, kicking ass as he goes.


 * Normal appearance: Arnout is a Caucasian male, with two hands that don’t look just right. At first glance they seem normal, but they are metal hands, covered in fake skin. He also has a small box in the back of the neck, where the computer-interface resides when he is not in the suit. He tries to blend in, so wears whatever is “normal” in this day and age.
 * Costume appearance: The suit is black, with red eyes. (What do you want? The military doesn’t have much fantasy/inspiration...)
 * Personality: Normally Arnout is a pretty good natured guy, friendly to his dog, nice to his parents and he doesn’t beat his girlfriend. That changed when the military took him. He is now filled with hate against those that ruined his life, and wants to see them dead at his feet. His hate can get the best of him, but when there are innocent lives are on the line, he usually doesn’t hesitate.
 * Superpowers/Extraordinary Abilities: Arnout doesn’t have any superpowers, except his unusual mind. His suit, on the other hand, is a different story. It can’t fly, but hovers, using a small set of wings. He can move fast across great distances by jumping high in the sky, and hovering down.
 * His suit is made of a extremely durable carbon-silica polymer, and is practically immune to bullets, (the impacts are absorbed and dispensed), explosions and standard grade man-mobile lasers (powerful lasers can punch holes in the armour).
 * The armour has 3 layers. The first layer is the real armour part. It is extremely stiff and designed to stop anything from penetrating it. The second layer is the kinetic layer. This layer is there only to absorb kinetic energy from bullets, explosions, etc. The third layer is the thermal layer. This layer provides the suit with its insulation/heating.
 * He doesn’t have x-ray vision, but something similar. The red eyes aren’t just for show; they contain a wide range of visors, like night-vision, IR, magnification, etc.
 * His last special thing is his speed. His mind-link with the robot allows him to react much faster to things then ordinary humans. Things like catching a fly with your hands aren’t hard when you have a robot doing the guiding for you.
 * Arnout’s link with his computer gives him the power to penetrate pretty much any firewall. He “sees” holes in firewalls, and his computer provides power and other ways to (ab)use these holes.


 * Disadvantages: His emotional state can be troubled. His hate can get the better of him. A red fog of sorts.
 * Main problem: Power. The suit features a fancy system of batteries/dynamos. But after making too many jumps, moving fast for too much time, or being subject to extreme heat/cold for too long can drop his power levels and might force a break/shutdown, to recover some power.


 * Gear: When in plain clothes, a handgun and a standard, (if fancy) mobile phone/computer.
 * The suit is equipped with a state-of-the-art Gauss Sniper rifle. It can fire heavy projectiles over great distances. The rifle is mounted on the shoulder. For close combat the suit is fitted with a dozen (14) taser units, pepper spray dispensers and two beanbag guns under the arms. As a personal addition, Arnout sometimes adds two handguns, so he won’t literally have to get his hands bloody if he wants to kill someone.


 * Superhero team?: Arnout would probably open fire, if he was approached by other superheroes. But after getting his ass kicked a few times, or seeing his targets escape, he would probably come round. But he isn’t a really good team player, and if the hate gets to him, he might just even turn on his teammates.
