CHARACTER
Name: Syn Eksedes
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Symbol: N/A; will be added later
Appearance: 5'4'', 122lbs. Not buff or fat, not skinny; Just in between. Short black hair, and tan skin. Syn equips a blue breastplate with green accents, and blue shoulderplates. He also has blue legplates, and blue gauntlets, both with green accents as well. Hiding a friendly and youthful smile, is a deep blue helmet with a near-invincible display screen on the front. LED's are used to express his emotions (emoticons, words-on-screen).
Personality: Syn is very friendly and outgoing. He is not quick to judge and always trying to see the bright side of things. In combat situations, he has a tendency to use his mouth more than his weapon, cracking jokes every now and then. He is unpredictable and spontaneous, never planning or preparing for anything. Very enthusiastic and jumps into things right away. He specializes in hand-to-hand combat, and is consistently on the offensive. He is always looking out to kill his opponent.
History: Despite his positive outlook on life, Syn has had a rough past. In his childhood, his family was poor and therefore could not afford much luxuries. His dad worked as a carpenter for the small village they lived in, while his mom stayed at home and cared for him. His dad spent a lot of time with him and made him his apprentice. They worked many years together and bonded closely. Being an only child, he received a lot of attention from his parents and they cared for him very well. However, they barely could buy him gifts, let alone clothes. When he was 14, the village was raided by monsters of darkness and they were forced to leave their village, their house, their home. In the violent process, Syn's parents had Syn run away while they joined several others in an attempt to ward off the vile beasts. Unfortunately, they were overrun by the relentless mob and ultimately killed by monsters. Syn was taken underwing by the remaining villagers and vowed for revenge. He was trained by the village's best, and later moved to a more urban setting to catch up with the world. Finding his experience in carpentry substantial, he easily turned successful in the construction business. He then takes up skills in welding and metal working. Three years later, Syn decides to commit to finding the source of the darkness, and stopping it. Syn tries to forget his past, and strives to continue forward and never look back.
Strength: Syn's helmet (built by Syn) has installed in it a C.A.S. (Cognitive Assist System) a computer AI that scans Syn's environment and automatically calculates certain things for him. This allows him to simulate superhuman reflexes, accuracy, and awareness.
Weakness: Syn likes to jump into situations without a thought. This can get him into trouble, for example traps and surprise attacks easily catch him off guard. Also Syn's humorous and playful nature means he doesn't focus on the objective very well, and doesn't take fighting seriously. He also fights very aggressively, with his mind always thinking about offense, he is less likely to think about dodging or blocking. Finally, he is extremely reliant on his helmet. Without it, he is very limited. Without the help of C.A.S. the only skills Syn can wield are his hand-to-hand combat, and his carpentry. His reflexes and awareness will be subdued to the average human.
