And they really make sure to give him that! Have you seen the things he’s pulled off? From extracting rival company intel to snagging the Solar Emerald itself! Things we would otherwise never have known unless he made it known intentionally. No slip ups. No traces. As good as thieves can get. Although, you know how it is with Hay, sometimes you’ve gotta get a little recognition for what you do. But either way, the deal is as simple as it gets: whatever you want, whenever you want, consider it yours, as long as you pay him the right amount.

Orville Carver has seen his share of close calls, being an espionage agent for hire isn't the cushy job people might think it is, neither is being a kleptomaniac, or any job that produces a raging bounty on your head for acquiring classified military tech. It's all high risk, high reward. Orville doesn't seem to mind.

He operates under the callsign "Haywood."

Appearance

Haywood presents a distinctive appearance that sets him apart from his 'Asturian' counterparts. Standing at a modest height of approximately 4 feet and 3 inches, Haywood possesses brown and olive fur that covers his entire body. His rounded glasses perch upon a small snout, giving him an intellectual air. His pink paws and tail provide a contrasting touch to his earth-toned fur. The insides of his ears also share this shade of pink. Haywood is often seen clad in brown, weathered shorts and compression footwear designed to protect his paws. A slightly oversized yellow jacket adorned with patches, and a dogtag necklace that hangs casually from his belt loop.

Personality

Underneath his unassuming appearance lurks a treacherous and cunning individual, earning him a reputation as one of the most efficient agents in the realm of espionage and theft. He possesses an unwavering commitment to his chosen profession, making him an incredibly skilled thieving operative who revolves around his own rules. Haywood's personality is marked by a sense of arrogance, a desire for intellectual challenges, and an insatiable ego. He is unapologetically selfish and focused on monetary gains, making him a pragmatic and shrewd negotiator when it comes to his criminal endeavors. Despite his amoral and unscrupulous nature, there's a certain enigmatic charm to Haywood, as he doesn't shy away from showing a hint of vulnerability amidst his hardened exterior.

Equipment

· Anti Ballistic Gel Gun: A multifunctional tool in Haywood's arsenal, the Anti Ballistic Gel Gun serves various purposes. It can dispense a specialized foam that effectively blocks bullets, cushions falls from heights, blocks pathways, and even traps individuals by encasing them in foam. This versatile device provides both offensive and defensive capabilities.

· Taser: Concealed within the Anti Ballistic Gel Gun, this taser attachment allows Haywood to switch the weapon's mode swiftly. It delivers a powerful electrical shock to incapacitate adversaries, providing a non-lethal yet highly effective means of subduing opponents when the situation demands it.

· Stealth Kit: Haywood's ability to blend into shadows and evade detection is augmented by his Militech Stealth Kit. This sophisticated backpack allows him to achieve near-invisibility, rendering him effectively undetectable to both the naked eye and surveillance systems. The kit is also equipped with a Mk. 2 Militech Jammer, capable of disrupting drones, surveillance cameras, and acting as an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) emitter to disable electronic devices within its vicinity. The Stealth Kit is a vital tool in his cloak-and-dagger operations.

· Eavesdropper: This specialized stealth drone plays a crucial role in Haywood's information-gathering endeavors. Outfitted with a camera and UV/infrared sensors, the Eavesdropper drone can covertly record video footage and audio, providing him with invaluable intelligence. Its ability to access hard-to-reach or high-security areas from the air grants Haywood a unique vantage point, allowing him to see and hear things he otherwise couldn't. The Eavesdropper drone is a key asset in his reconnaissance toolkit.
