[Name] – Stream Ixen
[Nickname] – Slipstream
[Age] – 19
[Gender] – Male
[Faction] – Rogue CEAD. Works with the negatives.
[Weapons] - To work with his CEAD abilities, Slipstream has had made/made several robotic weapons. these are:
- Ripper claws: His first robotic weapon, these are attachable/detachable claws he can attach to his fingers. They have drill heads which he rotates at will with his CEAD. Called Codename: Revolutions during dev.
- Codename: "Rapier": A second, more advanced robotic weapon, this is a frisbee like weapon that has rapidly spinning saw blades. The specialty of this weapon is that he can (to some degree) control it's direction of flight with his CEAD. During developement it's codename was "Rapier" and the name stuck.
- Nanomachines: Small pods of nano machines that can coat an area as large as the surface area of a drained swimming pool (including walls). They can be electrofied, superheated or detonated upon a mental command. They have a battery life of ten minutes, but using any feature of them for any amount of time is taxing. He could probably keep them electrofied for 3 minutes. Obviously detonation will destroy them, and since a single one wouldn't be very powerful he will need to detonate many at once to accomplish anything. They each have a built in camera which he can view out of, and can provide light. These were already developed by his father, he just weaponized them.
- Normal weapon augamentation: Into his CEAD he has programed some superimposed enhancements to what he can see that will help him in combat. For example at any given time he can see the best dirction to slice a sword in at that moment, or the exact trajectiory of where a bullet or throwing knife will go depending on how hard he throws it.
All of these weapons are made out of parts he can easily get, so if one is damaged or lost he can make more. he has a stockpile of all of these hidden.
[Personality] – Stream is a technologist. He believes that there is no problem that cannot be solved with technology. He has always been rather suspicious of the government, hated corporations and generally sided with the little guy, the rebels, those with the least power. Ironic considering his father owns one of the largest mega-corporations on earth, selling a soft drink that contained disease fighting nanomachines and holographic televisions (among their most successful creations). He is a loner in the sense that he doesn't need anybody, but still he enjoys company and has a sense of humor, and he is in no way antisocial. He loves eating, and he is just one of those people who eats a ton yet is still somehow thinner than you. his favorite type of food is japanese, sushi especially. He is fond of fantasy literature, metal music, video games and yuri hentai. He is irresponsible, and has had 3 DWIs, eight speeding violations and once he was arrested for setting off homemade fireworks without a permit. His birthday traditions include hiring strippers and breaking things.
His philosophy when it comes to helping others is "help those who have the least help, and always side with the losing unless they seem like they should be winning" a philosophy which generally has not helped him. Siding with psychic rebels against a corporation that controls the government and literally made thousands of evolved humans generally would fall into one of those categories. He scoffs at ecologists, and generally falls into the stereotype of rich people believing that there is always enough and there are always opportunities to become rich. I've mostly stated his bad characteristics in this though, here are a few of his good ones: He's exceedingly brave, by normal human standards he is near genius (with an IQ of 169) and he is generally a good person.
[Appearance] – Stream has red and blade spiky, thin hair. His eyes are black and he wears a tight white business suit with a black tie. In his pockets at any given time are a small vial, a cell phone and his Ripper Claws. When actually fighting he wears clothes simaler his normal clothes, but the suit is black with a white tie unlike the old one, though he also wears a red bandana across his mouth and wears goggles. The goggle straps are brown, while the goggles themselves are tinted yellow by the outside. The bandana has white clubs on it. The hair is blackened while his is being a CEAD in order to avoid being recognized. His shoes in both cases are black and he wears white socks. His underwear is white and he has two straight black lines tatooed one above another above his left eye. Under his clothes he has a tatoo of two serpents intertwined and trying to kill eachother on his chest. one of the serpents is black with a white outline and the other is white with a black outline. A black filled in circle is on the side of the head of the white one and a white circle on the other. He has several small cuts on his left and right arms, and a larger on across his left palm. his arms are lean and muscular and he has a goatee.
[CEAD Enhancement] – An implant in his mind that he has nicknamed his "Third Eye" due to the small metal lump portruding out of the back of his head to get a signal (a referance to an old videogame on the old system the nintendo gamecube, called super smash bros meele). It can not only connect him to the internet, allowing him to find out anything on a moment's notice by scanning the internet, but it can also connect to any satallite orbiting the earth to get a very accurate bird's eye view. And with modern technology, that means you can zoom in enough to view every detail of a needle that is lying on the ground. But that's not all, because most modern satallites have laser or missle systems, a dangerous weapon. He also uses it to control his weapons. For math problems and the like he can tap into a massive amount of processing power available within it to solve the most complex riddles very quickly. He can overlay his vision with a system very much like what we have on some smartphones, where for example he can browse menus by looking at the sign of a resturant. It has very powerful utilities, and he can use it to hack into almost any computerized device and control it. This is especially useful against other CEADs (though hacking into those can take a long time). He can generate (relatively simple) virtual worlds on the fly for various purposes. when he looks like he's staring at the wall he could actually be playing a video game. Or he could be having the computer assess the probability of him winning a fight. It sends out electrical pulses in the nearby area allowing him to know the location of any item even in pitch blackness. The possibilities are nearly unlimited (not to say there are not things he cannot do with it, there are plenty of those). It has such good security, only a negative with the power to remove digital security could get past it.
[Bio] – Born into one of the most sucessful companies on earth, Techno9, Stream always should have had a perfect life. And for the most part, he did have it pretty good. But it didn't start out that way. Stream was born with a rare brain condition where he could not remember anything for any length of time. The longest he ever remembered anything, even his name, was 3 hours. But luckily for him, Techno9 money buys quite a bit. His father had a CEAD imlant built that would connect his brain to an incredibly powerful computer, almost more intelligent than the human brain. All of his memories would be stored there, as well as it would be able to interact with his brain to do quite a few things. Thus he did not grow up normally, he grew up beyond normally. He could see things and know things no other child could know. That let him cheat on tests hin school, and generally do whatever the heck he pleased. This lead to the revalation that with great power comes great irresponsibility. Over time as he reached adulthood he had many upgrades made to his CEAD, learned to hack, and became very proficient in computer science in general. He had weapons built as well.
At 98 his father, Chance Ixen died of a heart attack. Stream, being eighteen at the time, was just old enough to inherit the company. He was very sad for weeks after the event, and didn't fully recover for another month. He had his father's closest advisor run the company while he uses it to create weapons and improve his CEAD. His father's advisor is the only one who knows his secret. Although he helps the negatives secretly, he seems just a normal CEO during the day. The money is supposedly going towards a project called "Codename: Ventrilloquist" which is being built to help the elderly walk with nanotechnology. Any research on that is slow at best, as almost all of that money goes towards his secret projects. One time info got leaked on the development of Project Rapier, a huge disaster. He was able to write it off as a failed prototype demolition device which could speed up some processes in destruction, but now he is much more secretive. Nothing ever escaped that lab again.
[Other] – Another effect of his enhancement is that he will never forget anything. If you told him a 9000 digit long code, provided he heard all the numbers, he would remember it after a week taking LSD and getting drunk, even if he was drunk that day.
Weapon or anti-weapon projects currently in developement: (these may show up later in RP)
- "Codename: Chainmail": Nanomachines that coat his body and concentrate in the areas where he is being attacked. They distribute the force through the others and help by being very hard when it first hits. Not a weapon, but good for defense. He can control the concentration, but they automatically adjust on their own.
- "Codename: Fridge Magnet": A small robot modeled after a snake with explosives charged throughout it's "body". Stream can pilot it and blow it up on a whim.
CEAD improvements currently in developement: (^)
- Faster Computer
- Improved Softwear
- Improved Sensors
