Profile
[ SWAN ]
Former rifleman who gave up his body for a mechanical one, Swan is a well known and respected mercenary with a strong moral code. He's there to balance out any other merc who thinks no job is too dirty or immoral. Respected and feared by his peers, most know better than to take a job that crosses his path.
Seems reluctant to work for the most part, but will always help in a dire situation. He wants to protect others, and has a strong sense of loyalty to those he's fought with -- he just REALLY likes to sit down and chill out.
Personality
Swan is a figher you want on your side; he's loyal, dependable and pushes on even in the face of unrelenting danger. He cares deeply about protecting good people, and is often involved in rebel figher skirmishes against the interstellar corporate giants and their own hired mercenaries.
Good luck if you're fighting against him. He is unrelenting in his pursuits, and almost apathetic in his approach. Unless you beg for it he won't show mercy, and even then that's no guarantee - you really have to prove yourself. Swan has no qualms about killing, and doesn't seem to have much remorse in most scenarios.
Outside of combat Swan is like a tired ol' grumbly uncle. While he looks like he'd rather be left alone, he does appreciate good company and any kind of talk not involving work. Has either a painfully deadpan sarcasm delivery or dark sense of humour - it's hard to tell. Seems to enjoy when it makes people laugh.
Usually seen cleaning or maintaining his guns and blade. Enjoys trying new weapons and gear (grenades, throwables, etc). Practices often. Sometimes plays the knife game as a party trick.
Moves around a lot, and isn't picky where he stays. Keeps it neat and minimal, usually living out of a duffel bag. If there's one luxury he'll have given the chance it's a big soft pillow.
Can only eat liquid or mostly liquid foods through a straw-like tube that extends from his chin. Usually packs nutrient liquid pouches, but a squished up MRE will do in a pinch. Surprisingly good cook.
All terrain, all weather, though can only tolerant extremes for short periods of time. Prefers warm dry weather, not a big fan of the cold and detests icy terrain.
Tends to exaggerate with groans or sighs when he gets up or has to do anything physical at the request of others. Antennae 'ears' tend to perk if he's overhearing a conversation (a giveaway despite seeming disinterested).
Physical
Swan has a strong physical presence and bulk, namely in the chest and shoulders. Slim waist, thick thighs with digigrade legs narrowing to pointed ends. Barrel chested. Walks with a very uptight posture, but capable of exaggerated movement due to digigrade legs most noticably when running. Slouches when sitting, tends to sprawl and lean on things when comfortable.
Being a cyborg Swan actually retains most of his own organs with a modified circulatory system. Most of his internal mechanics are bio-attuned, so while not 'flesh and blood' it's still considered organic. While this has greatly enhanced his physical abilities (strength, endurance, speed, resistance) his greatest asset is his willpower to push his own limits.
Meagre, he sticks to a practical wardrobe of colour and design that doesn't really change. May vary depending on the mission (and environment), but remains more or less the same. Can sometimes be seen in a tank top and cargo pants as casual wear.
