Post-procedure, Recruit has shown a remarkable capability to manipulate countless forms of technology, increasingly building more and more complex devices and weaponry. Has been key in improving Obsidian systems security, as well as equipping operatives with custom tools to augment and improve their abilities.

As per combat reports, Recruit has been shown to be very capable, especially through the use of his custom "Auto-Lock" armor, which he stores on his person.

[i]PERSONAL NOTE[/i]

[i]Since you guys can never seem to get this right - I'm a Biotech. I can manipulate about any tech that you throw in front of me, and I can graft it to work with organic matter. (Just ask Jasper about her improved Pacemaker sometime - Oh wait, that was a straight-up heart graft. Cause I'm awesome. Bam!)

I make all the coolest toys, the best weapons, and I make you guys all look good. It's who I am. (Cause I'm a giver. Lol.) Oh, and I can hack into these computer systems. I am the Ghost in the Machine. Boo![/i]

[b]Appearance:[/b]

Recruit stands at approximately six feet tall, with a sturdy build, and [s]rounded[/s] [b]stunning[/b] features. Sandy hair (cropped short), green eyes, rather pale skin. Though pale, Recruit is of a pan-Asian heritage, and that history can be vaguely recognized in the features of his face.

[b]Personality:[/b]

Recruit is often cautious and contemplative, but also brash and bold when in the midst of competition.

[i]True, true.[/i]

He seems to always be continually observing, organizing, and evaluating his surroundings, Adapting to varying situations quickly after determining the proper course of action.

[i]Recruit also has a remarkably witty sense of humor.[/i]

Recruit is particularly adept at analyzing and understanding new and complex systems, be they a computer system or even weapons and tools. This talent must be encouraged, however, as Recruit has a penchant for quickly becoming bored with a system that he readily understands, and will move on to a new pursuit.

[i]Why keep hitting the flint when you've already got a fire going?[/i]

This tendency for "constant challenge" has drastically hampered his connections with others in his pursuit to improve himself.

[i]But it's a self worth improving, eh O'Hara?[/i]

Though Recruit's social sources have confirmed he is regarded as intelligent and capable in many respects, Recruit seems to have difficulty connecting well with others on more than a superficial level.

[i]They just never understood my GENIUS!![/i]

Recruit is known to be trustworthy, always willing to follow through on his word, but along with that trust comes a reluctancy to make too many promises.

With the right push, this individuals talents and skills could be turned to be extremely useful for Obsidian.

[b]Strengths/ [s]Weaknesses[/s] Future Strengths:[/b]

Remarkably strong in body and mind. Able to quickly adapt and learn new skills on the fly. Extremely analytical and adept at understanding complex systems.

Rather stubborn [i](I prefer "complicated")[/i], has difficulty relating easily to others, possible superiority complex.

[i]Not a complex if it's true.[/i]

[b]History:[/b]

Recruit was born Paul Phillips, Jr, the oldest son of the Phillips family. Raised in a middle class home, with a distinct physical propensity owed to him and his brothers. Though Recruit excelled in multiple pursuits throughout adolescence, he never had the motivation to pursue any specific path, instead engaging in multiple courses at once. These included hockey, football, boxing, and water polo, though Recruit did not often stay with any specific activity past the time it took to understand it.

Graduated High School at 16.

[s]Recruit's family took vacation to Europe during recruit's third year of University, and as such, recruit was unable to attend. Vacation ended in tragedy as airliner returning from Paris to United States met in disaster (See RPT-LUFT-00726).[/s]

[i][FURTHER RECORDS NOT FOUND][/i]

Recruit was sole heir to a modest inheritance, completed University degree, but is currently dissatisfied with his work in the field of Computer Engineering.

[b]Notes:[/b]

Though Recruit seems rather ordinary, it is highly recommended that Phillips be considered for procedure 32-C. [i]Well duh, O'Hara.[/i]
