Username: The Deleter

Name: Adrian Connor

Gender: Male

Race: Transhuman (which is basically human with some bells and whistles so don't get your hopes up)

Colour: [COLOR="#2F4F4F"]#2F4F4F[/COLOR]

Description: Arian resembles a twenty-one year old human both physically and biologically, but with key differences. His 6’ height makes his abnormally thin, lanky build even more noticeable. His eyes are far larger than a normal human’s, and his fingers are also an inch or two longer than average. His dark hair is shaved into a single vertical strip to keep the silver neural plugs in his temples free from obstruction. Facial features include a sharp chin, roman nose and thin eyebrows. He currently wears a casual t-shirt , sneakers and jeans (all of which have to be fitted for him), and various toolbelts thrown across his body like a bad anime character. Said pockets and toolbelts contain various tools and mechanical bits of all sizes, shapes and uselessness levels. There might be some half-eaten snack bars in there too.

Adrian, in his base state, is hyper-emotional – he feels emotions more strongly than a normal person does. He finds things funnier, grieves more, and is never just “scared”, but terrified. This is a normal trait of his subspecies, and he takes emotional suppression pills to dull these feelings at the cost of sometimes leaving him listless or dull. Outside of this, Adrian is filled with curiosity and a desire to experiment, and has an inventive approach to problems. These desires clash with indecision and a desire to return to the oppressive social norms of his world. He finds it difficult to make enemies, but harder to make friends. He daydreams often.

Weapons/Abilities: Adrian’s body has been modified to fulfil the role required of a spaceship technician on his world. His light weight and thin body allow him to manoeuvre in cramped service corridors and within the ship’s inner workings, and thin, long fingers compliment his dexterity. His eyes are larger than normal to allow better vision in low light, and have a polarised third eyelid to protect against glare from the tools he works with. His body is also more resilient to electric shocks and heat damage, although he is still vulnerable to being killed in this manner. The silver neural plugs would allow him to interface with the computers of his world, but in the battle they are pretty useless.

Adrian always carries an Atomic Forge, a miniature workshop that allows him to build tools and equipment by processing the atomic matter of surrounding materials in the environment. The more complex the result is, the more time and effort needs to be put into the process. For example, a simple screwdriver would take about ten minutes, whilst an explosive or bomb would take a few hours. When not in use, the forge folds into a small cube, three feet square in size, which he carries on his back like a backpack. The forge has powerful batteries that can recharge off ambient light, but take a full day to do so. These batteries last for seven hours continuous operation.

Biography: Born in the Great Terran Federation of 4291 AD, Adrian was the son of dock worker Johnathan Cooper and secretary Samantha Wu. They moved to Samantha’s homeworld when Adrian was two years old and made a relatively peaceful life there.

The Great Terran Federation was in the beginnings of its Transhumanist phase, and as such a person’s life was slotted into their role via the use of not only their education, but by modifying their biology to suit them for their work. Ever since Adrian went to a starport at the age of six and saw the thin, spider-like figures crawling amongst the innards of a capital ship, he wanted to be a spaceship technician. He wanted to find out how the things flew. He wanted to be one of the graceful, wisp-like men and women who worked behind the scenes to make the behemoths and leviathans of the stars function without a hiccup. This meant modifying him from a relatively normal human child into one of those apparitions.

Adrian’s life remained relatively normal – he received the usual body modifications at four to help his school learning, and then the Initial Path Modifications at sixteen when he made his subject choices at college. His parents were supportive of his choice to become a starship technician, and his father used his own scant knowledge of electronics and wiring to aid his son’s progress whilst his mother encouraged his artistic side, which helped when he was given his Atomic Forge at eighteen years of age. Adrian passed his course with decent grades.

Then came the time for him to come of age, where his body would be transformed into the graceful form he had wanted as a child. He woke up that morning, took his emotional suppressants, had his regular breakfast, kissed his mother and father goodbye, went out the door, and took the bus to the city clinic…

…and vanished.
