[Flecker]

Name: Peter Smith

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Height: 5 ft 10 / 140 lbs

What kind of human are you?

Magus

Normal Human (On Record)

Place of Origin: Houston, Mars

Role within the ship: Chief Scientific Officer

Background:

There's a reason why Peter's name sounds extremely generic. Born in a rural part of earth's America, he was born in a religious society that despised magic and augmentations. The young boy was born into two magicians infamous to the town burnt alive at the stake. The child was rescued from the commune to a much more tolerant society on Mars.

Under a false name and assuming the identity of a normal man, he went on to live alone under the supervision of the Magus Administration Bureau.

The young boy was quite the prodigy when it came to mathematics and physics, but his background and training allowed him to excel at magical studies, far beyond what normal humans were capable of. He earned his PhD at the young age of 20, taught and researched with the best colleges on Mars before he's 22.

He enjoyed fame and respect as the champion of the normal humans, a genius despite not knowing any magic. Of course, few knew the truth and they all chose to keep it silent fearing for his life. The fame and supposed brilliance piqued The Columbus Initiative CEO to recruit him as a CSO for ARS Isabella

He secretly practices his spellcasting from various sources ensuring the legacy lives on.

Personality:

Anxious, slightly unstable, and a bit jumpy, that's how one would describe him. His heart rate never seems to be lower than 100 BPM as he constantly thinks and wonders. He's not one to deny confrontation, if something is unreasonable or out of line he'd question it, but he doesn't actively seek conflict. His purpose is questionable, the thing that satisfies him most is research and identifying the unknown. Many wonder if he cares about humanity at all or if he cares only for the exploration that awaits him.

Abilities/Powers:

Magic​

Peter has no implants, all he has is magic. In the past, spellcasting can only be learned from tomes passed from parent to child, but technology allows the wildfire of information to spread so much that Peter is inundated with powerful spells, how to cast them effectively, and ways to create new spells.

He masters the art of subtlety. The way he casts his spells heavily involves his eyes, minor hand movements, and mental manipulations. He rarely performs anything flashy.

20 yr old Ahmi out of the Vats​

Style:
Ahmi loves her badass military look. Dark leathers, battle-scarred armour, and combat boots. When out of her combat gear she just braids up her hair and wears her signature box cap with the cigar/cigarette sticking out of the brim. She is a big woman with big muscles and so she loves to wear shortsleeve crop tops exposing her tats and muscles. And yes, she loves loose cargo pants, but if and when she wears shorts, rest assuresd they will be the booty shorts variety. One thing about going civillian is that she always has to have fresh kicks and so she will wear a different clean and crisp pair of shoes for each day of the week. Other than her signature hat, she will always have that ragged patched up bomber jacket with scraps and cut-outs of fabric, or bits of metal or clasps attached to it. Each item is from a member of her current and former squads.

Scars, Tats, Piercings:
Full sleeves down to fingertips, full back, some tats on her front and legs that tell her life story thus far. In particullar, a tattoo on her forearm with multiple overlapping runes that glow and pulsate when she uses her power. Little motes of light that she calls her 'bumblers' buzz around it. Has her tongue, hood and navel pierced. Scars everywhere especially in parts where she was experimented on. Of note, she has taken grievous wounds in her belly and right thigh leaving nasty scars. Archangel Implants in her head and arm that she assimilated and controls other tech devices. When she uses her power or when emotions are high, her irises will glow gold.

~Bio:​

---

---

• Ahmi is just another orphan who went missing across Canada all those years ago. As a young girl she and many other children were taken by the secret para-military government body known to a small few as Sector XTC.
• Flourished with manipulating tech and managed to form a bond with the AI, machines and powersources from the Kri'tarris System known as: Archon-Reaction nanotech.
• All children were experimented upon: enhanced body parts, implants and Adept Power Accelerants were all used to create super soldier children.
• Ahmi was a top specimen and excelled at all physical training. Was held in high esteem as an honours student and soldier.
• A nautral-born alpha, she soon earned her way to squad leader, codename: Archangel, of the black-ops team: Aerial Prime. This was an all flight-based team with all members powered by the Archon tech.
• Successful in all tours working as a unit, but more importantly, bonded as a family... that was until the mission at the Haida Gwaii on Canada's west coast. The team was divided right down the middle regarding the decision to execute their objectives in full. They had all known each other since they were little, they even cut themselves to share blood. Yet the Siblings still found no alternative but to battle each other with devastating results.
• Ahmi was badly injured and her powers muted, but she still managed to escape with several of her Siblings. But they could not stay on Earth lest they be hunted and tried for treason.
• All fled into the galaxy and each went their separate way. They each had stolen Archon nanotech and vowed to meet again when they all met their personal objectives.
• Ahmi recrafted her nanotech which she eventually renamed the Archangel Tech and lived for years the life of a hired gun and mecha pilot going by the name of the infamous 'GunMother.
• Also worked aboard two major starships, one Destroyer class and one Battleship class.
• But eventually she made too many rivals and enemies that dropped her name and Sector XTC caught wind of her whereabouts in the Kri'Tarris System.
• Overpaid to have some strings pulled for her where she was commissioned as Gunnery Officer of the ARS Isabella to lay low and send out feelers for her Siblings out there in the Galaxy.

~Abilities:​

---

Supersoldier Training / Upgrades / Implants

• Highly skilled in field combat as a black ops soldier on Terran or Zero G: close combat, firearms, flight training, intel, comms, non-verbal communication, stealth, mental/physical endurance, leadership.
• Synthetic reinforced limbs, joints and digits
• Reinforced spine, upgraded synapses/nerves
• Upgraded muscles and ligaments
• Enhanced internal organs, ears and eyes.

Adept: Tech Manipulator / Archangel Tech Mecha Suit

• Tech Assimilation - can meld into machinery to control and manipulate as if it were a part of her. Weapons are her specialty; it is the reason she used to be called 'The GunMother.'
• Tech Interface - able to 'speak' to computers and hack and dominate operating systems to get them to do as she wants.
• Tool-less Manipuation - she can telekinetically move and attach various pieces of inanimate objects together or pull it apart without the use of specialty/hand held tools.
• Archangel Tech - nanotech that she is able to control and manipulate to form and re-form a mecha suit with full flight and advanced weaponry capabilities. Originally an extravagant golden angellic form but has since gone with more of a bug with big guns look to hide the stolen tech. Also has minor 'bumbler conjurations' whereby she forms such thngs while in human form: a HUD display visor, internal comms, close combat weapons, energy sidearms or hard wire interface ports.
• Archangel Reactor - implant that multiplies energy to be used to power her mecha suit and its regen abilities.

Weaknesses

• Tech Assimilation -
  - | Power Amnesia - massive physical trauma gives her a form of 'power amnesia' in which she needs to relearn how to use her Tech Manipulation and Interface powers over time.
  - | Archangel tech dependent - she has become super dependent on the nanotech that it has become like a drug; she gets withdrawal if she does not use it once a day. Also requires 'quiet time' once a day to sort her thoughts from 'machine recoding' that messes with her methods and training.
  - | Archangel Reactor - Recharges by draining electric powersources, but to maintain her humanity and resist 'machine recoding,' she must take bio-energy from organic lifeforms too.
  
  
• Archangel Mecha Suit -
  - | Glowing Gold - There is almost no way to stealth with the suit on due its wings and multiple parts pulsating with golden light.
  - | Wrath of the Archangel - During battles whereby Ahmi feels great negative emotions, the suit reacts and all weapons arrays go online and she will go on a berzerker rage, decimating all enemies without rational thinking and there may be lots, and lots of collateral damage.
  - | Weapon Signature - The Archangel Nanotech is actually the Archon-Reaction Tech stolen from Sector XTC, those that created it and experimented upon Ahmi and her 'siblings.' She is trying to hide it however, the energy blasts from her two main guns are devastating yet give up an energy signature unique to the Archangel Nanotech.

  APPEARANCE

  Derek is most often quite scruffy in nature, with unkempt clothes and even wilder unkempt hair, though he does sometimes try to make an effort depending on the occasion. Not one for formalities much, or social cues for that matter, Derek essentially doesn't care what someone else thinks of him or how he chooses to present himself. He's not there to please others. A baggy white shirt that has never seen an iron before? Sure, why not? Those jeans with holes of an unknown nature? Yeah, put them on.
  
  In terms of stature, he stands at a respectable 6'2", an imposing height to most but average as he would choose to put it. His frame can best be described as quite muscular, with an impressively structured body with no overly large muscles nor lean muscles. Derek tries to maintain his physical fitness at times since he's always stuck up in his room doing god knows what, this is more an obligatory task because he needs to regularly maintain his physical health so his body can take the strain of using magic.

• PERSONALITY

  Derek gives an impression to all who meet him of total enigma and utter ominosity. Derek is something of a gruff and aloof sort of person when he's not with his immediate inner circle of friends. He doesn't tend to be outgoing and often seems to be wearing a frown, which doesn't help open conversations with strangers. He tends to cherish his privacy and doesn't appreciate people poking their noses into his personal life. He knows that a lot of what he's done is still wrong, but even so, he doesn't like to talk about it.
  
  Derek is defined by several overpowering personality traits, some of which are at direct odds with one another. What bridges all of it is his confidence. Derek Pierce takes great pride in his ability to depend upon himself for just about anything, and never finds a situation too grim for hope. He's of the disposition to believe that anything can be overcome with sufficient know-how, and his wide variety of skills and resources only bolster this belief in himself. Nothing is ever impossible, and Derek has very little time for anyone who disagrees.
  
  Derek is a very calm, determined individual when he wants something. He's not the type to explode into histrionics, or ever really let anyone get a good bead on how he's feeling -- stiff upper lip and all that. He can be stubborn, but only when he knows he's right, and frankly, he knows he's right 100 of the time. All the same, he's not the type to be goaded into a fight, what with cooler heads prevailing and all. Most attempts to bait him will fail.
  
  Derek has always been alone, no matter what family figures he had around him. Thus, it's only natural, that he'd grow up to be a bit of a loner. While he has no problem working with others or on a team, he tends to lean more toward the lone coyote lifestyle. Embracing this lifestyle to the fullest, Derek tries his hardest not to ask for help from anyone, choosing rather to do everything on his own. Derek will always be a loner, regardless of how he may act around others. It's just who he is.

  BIOGRAPHY

  
  Being born on the planet Neptune, where the planet was colonized centuries ago and many floating/underwater cities dwell. Magic was nigh-nonexistent in Neptune and was more focused on the technological advancements of its planet, so when Derek was born to a Trik'anian (Neptune) father and a Triton (Uranus) mother, Derek wasn't exposed to magic and knew little of its existence. Despite that, he grew up developing a fascination and urge to explore and leave his homeworld.
  
  While this wish came true, it came in a sour turn of events. The Trik'anian and the A'askvarii Empire of Pluto had been at war for many years, and Derek's mother died in battle against them. This devastated his father who wanted nothing more than to escape the life of war and wanted his son to grow up peacefully. His father would take Derek and himself outside of the Sol System and onto an icy and mountainous planet that held a small population of dwellers that survived in the cold and harsh region. He would settle on this planet for years, living with his father. However, due to the hazardous lands of this unknown planet, his father would soon pass away from a deadly cold he couldn't recover from, despite Derek'sbest efforts.
  
  It wasn't until he turned 19 that he learned of a man who harbored secrets older than time and practices lost to the cosmos. Intrigued by these rumors, he sought to find this man to bring his father back from the dead. With no information other than a temple hidden in the mountains, Derek traveled there and spent months climbing the mountains and searching for clues to the whereabouts of this hidden place. Eventually, Derek's resources were nearly exhausted and he faced starvation and hypothermia. However, he found a minor repast from eventual death from the elements the day he was attacked by an alien cryo-creature that Derek slew. The creature's flesh gave him food, and his fur an extra coat to protect him from the elements. Eventually, his supplies ran out again and after months of travel and on the brink of death he found the temple collapsing outside.
  
  Derek was found by an old man and was nursed back to health, who was named Yao. Being the rumored man Derek was looking for, Yao denied Derek's request when Derek asked Yao.
  
  “I cannot help you, your motives are still selfish and your heart is filled with anger and regret. And yet, I seem to see a spark within you…a spark of decency, of goodness, which I might be able to fan into a flame.
  
  ”If you will stay here…study with me…perhaps you will find within yourself the cure you seek”
  
  Desperate and having nothing left to go back to, he decided to stay and study the Exocentric Arts with them. Yao offered Derek this chance, knowing that he might die, and wanted his legacy to live one, as the knowledge he possessed and the magic he practiced were unknown to anyone but him. First introducing Derek to the mystical cuisine on which a sorcerer must rely to help prepare the body for the toll that magic surely takes. But the more he studied, the more Derek dedicated himself to fighting terrible threats from beyond, and he realized that his true purpose in life wasn’t to change his past, but to help ensure the future of others. Years of training followed, and Derek grew stronger in the ways of the mystic. Soon, it came time for him to leave the nest of Yao and branch out on his own. Having shared all he knew and instilled all the valuable assets that Derek needed to become the best of himself.
  
  Derek would leave the planet he stayed and traveled back to the Sol System where he resided on the planet, Iapetus, where he met with travelers from Earth that needed navigation through the rings of Saturn and the Asteroid Belt. Using his knowledge of the environment of space, he navigated the stranded team back to Earth. Because of this, he was given a chance to apply to become a Chief Navigator. Choosing to stay on Earth and using a new name, "Derek", he worked his way up and quickly became recognized for his exceptional navigation skills and was recruited by The Columbus Initiative CEO as a Chief Navigator for ARS Isabella.

  The most merciful in the world I think, is the inability of the mortal mind to correlate of its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of the infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

• ABILITIES

  Extra-Dimensional Magic
  
  Exocentric (from the Greek: exo, "outside") This very advanced and unknown form of magic, originally known as Arcanum Exo, refers to the form of magic that draws upon forces from dimensions outside our own. Only very experienced sorcerers are able to communicate with powerful mystical beings that inhabit these "other dimensions" and appeal to them for assistance. To invoke the aid of godlike beings (also referred to as the mystic principalities) such as Cyttorak, Ikonn, Raggadorr or Watoomb, a sorcerer must learn complex incantations and master subtle gestures in order to increase the chances of receiving a positive response. The more powerful the entity (or the less powerful the sorcerer) the more complicated the ritual of invocation becomes. To attract the attention of an entity, a supplicant will generally use the entity's name in a rhythmic or rhymed incantation. Just as poets and musicians once tried to gain the favour of powerful monarchs by composing clever poems and songs about them, the sorcerer uses his words to gain an entity's favour and display his or her own wit and knowledge.
  
  Neptunian (Trik'anian)/Uranian (Triton) Physiology
  
  Due to his mixed heritage as both a Trik'anian on his father's side and god-like Triton on his mother's side of the family, Derek had within himself a vast and virtually limitless potential that is even greater than that of his repetitively gene-augmented father. As such, he possessed the natural attributes of the Trik'anian race: resistance to poison, toxins, disease and infections as well as a higher natural physical capability. And as a Triton from Uranus, pertaining to superior anatomical quasi-mystical dynamism, as well as mystical and quantum energy reserves which they use to bolster their physical power to greater heights. This explains his talent in the magical arts.
  
  

  WEAKNESSES

  Incantations and Gestures Dependency: Derek also depends on spoken incantations, mystical gesturing, and his arcane artifacts in his duties; likely these can be counted as weaknesses. Derek has been incapacitated various times by being gagged and bound, preventing him from uttering arcane invocations or performing mystic gestures. Breaking his hands can greatly cripple his magic ability.
  
  Mortal Factor: Another weakness is that Derek, despite all his spells and magical training, is only human physically to a degree. Hence, if not taking proper care or defenses, Derek can be overpowered by sufficiently strong blows, energy attacks, or gas. While technically alien per se, he still must take care of his body in order to survive.
  
  He can't battle for lengthy periods of time because his magic is so intricate and enigmatic that utilizing it for too long can be harmful to his health, therefore he has to be careful not to overuse it. He may have migraines, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and other undesirable side effects as a result of overusing his power, including even passing out.
  

  • The foods we consume and the liquids we drink provide energy to our bodies. Foods contain a lot of chemical energy that your body breaks down into smaller components and absorbs to utilize as fuel when you eat them. However, because his magic requires the same energy, he's denying his body the nutrition it needs to function correctly. This is where the above-mentioned negative effects of utilizing magic come into play; even worse, he has a larger risk of organ failure and hemorrhage.

  Another limitation is the requirement of concentration. If his concentration is broken in the middle of a spell, it is likely to fail...under some circumstances with random effects happening instead of the intent. Mental fatigue is another issue he has to deal with, especially for longer spells or when casting many spells in quick succession. Although he is practiced at keeping his concentration, even he can be affected by his surroundings...it's harder to cast in a noisy environment with a lot of distractions than it is in his quiet work room. Very complicated spells, if possible, are best cast in a controlled environment. This is why sound-based abilities can be quite effective in affecting his spell casting.
