• Using the provided template, please create a character sheet and post it here.
• All other posts to the OOC tab. Thanks.

• At least one human with paranormal abilities; telekinesis, pyrokinesis, telepathy...something of that nature. We're talking about a one in a thousand. This person probably won't be as heavily augmented as some of the others, but the augs they do possess will be the kind that boost their abilities...and probably turn them somewhat twitchy and unstable.
• A former law enforcement officer (preferably a detective/federal law enforcement type) that was scapegoated for a scandal that involved some sort of coverup of what was actually responsible. This dishonored individual was, perhaps, maimed in the process. They might well be working as a consultant or private investigator. They understand how government works; perhaps part of a DOJ task force investigating corruption that went awry of the vampires.
• An ex-criminal of some sort, working for a cartel or organization as a specialist, perhaps as a high tech burglar or smuggler. This person knows the streets, the corruption of people, how to grease palms and get things through security. They know how people are connected in the underworld and where to put the pressure on. These sorts of organizations are often used as fronts for the vampires and their more unsavory activities, such as feeding. Perhaps this character got in too deep, objected and was left for dead. The Vigil is not an organization concerned with legality -- it is at war, and a soldier that knows the enemy is valuable.
• A "Face"; someone, probably a woman, that caught the attentions of a vampire that prized her looks and social grace, but was overcome by his urges and left her bleeding somewhere, clinging barely to life when the Vigil found her. She had a high flying social life and a respected career, perhaps as a lawyer or a corporate executive or even an actress or known personality before the event. Her skills, her ability to control herself and put on a persona allows her to smooth her way into places where a hundred men with guns would be foiled. Her ability to manipulate people with the pheromone and emotional manipulation implants she has received have taken her natural talents at persuasion and turned her irresistible.
• Come up with something and make it yours -- that's always a good sign. ;)

Psychological Profile:

Modifications:

• Communications suite, HUD and neural-computer, all standard issue – Vigil agents are able to text by thinking it among each other on a heavily encrypted wireless network. In fact, the computer works off brain impulses and is easily one of the most sophisticated and useful implants they have; what's more, its capabilities have yet to be fully exploited. The downside of this implant is that it includes a cortex bomb with an anti-tampering device. A captured agent can set it off, destroying the hardware inside, or a signal from control can do the same. This is to prevent the enemy from learning the capabilities of implanted agents.
• Internal air supply and aerial toxin filter -- this also has the added advantage of making the agent immune to vampire pheromones, as some types of vampires are known to use this to seduce their prey.
• Blood/liquid toxin filter -- the obvious is at work here -- vampires use their blood as a means of controlling mortals, and this system (and everyone, even non field agents, in the Vigil organization have this implant) screens out one of most subtle weapons a vampire has, rendering them functionally immune to being controlled through ingested blood the way mortal thralls of a vampire might be.
• Eye augmentation; a HUD showing all sorts of system data, such as the status of implants, as well as allowing for low-light and ultra-sound modes of vision, the latter being thought to be more effective than thermographics when dealing with vampires, who tend to run cold if they haven't fed lately.
• Hearing Amplification, including low and high frequency sound ranges, along with balance augmentation.
• Wired Reflexes - One of the more controversial but effective systems is the wired reflexes, which tend to make the user 'twitchy' but also give them a blinding reaction speed that allows them to react to a vampire with a degree of parity.
• Muscle replacement; human muscle is augmented with vat-grown, nano-enhanced muscle that increases strength and agility on the part of the user.
• Bone lacing; reinforcement for the skeletal structure, particularly around the rib-cage, allowing the implanted agent to take more abuse, as well as strengthening the frame for other implants related to strength and speed.
• Replacement right arm with implanted shotgun, essentially similar to a sawed-off weapon; the barrel is very short and the magazine only allows for three rounds. The weapon has exquisite recoil compensation, being mounted very firmly on a cybernetic arm, and is linked to Daniel's arm. It is retractable and concealable -- anything larger would essentially not be easily concealed in a cybernetic implant. Other, more extreme implants exist that allow for the mounting/dismounting of large weapons on the arm, though Daniel did not elect to take a hardpoint.
• The other replacement arm, his left, has a variety of sockets and jacks, from USB to ethernet and beyond, to facilitate physical access of an enemy's electronic equipment, including a multitool set. Also, incidentally, the middle finger comes off to reveal a spool of self-rewinding mono-wire, highly useful in garroting/beheading actions. He suggested this modification to the team, and they loved it. “Giving the vampers the finger” has a whole new meaning with the Vigil as a result. The third fingers on each hand have fully articulated fiberoptic cameras that can be deployed covertly to show the agent what is behind them or to get a camera/microphone into small places. Fingernails have retractable blades.
• Replacement legs, fully functional and stronger than the originals. One interesting feature is the rather sharp blades that are housed in the lower legs of each, and extend from the heel. He's practiced his round-house with that advantage in mind.
• Hands and knees and feet can be magnetized, but draw on an internal power supply that is replenished by kinetic means, which is to say, with movement.
• The limbs are socketed and can be, theoretically, replaced with other limbs that do different things. Daniel, however, likes the current mix of limbs.
• A medical monitoring system that flushes his system with drugs as needed to counteract pain or other medical situations as they arise -- that includes the injection of agents that are used in the event of the use of nerve gas.
• Subdermal impact and ballistic armor, though not the most extreme sort -- this stuff is again, concealable.

Equipment:

• Silenced pistol, caseless hydro-shok-style ammo, entirely made of polymer. It is about the size of the Russian 6P28, which is metal and designed for assassination, and mimics the design of it. It is designed to interface with his implanted systems.
• Mimetic Camouflage (Predator) coat, though this is designed to look more like a trenchcoat -- no doubt some project engineer with a penchant for the dramatic, or an interest in fashion design. The coat is actually stylish, which serves a dual purpose as vampires tend to dress stylishly and surround themselves with the stylishly dressed. This allows Vigil agents one more edge. Of course, they call it the Predator Coat. Because the engineers are geeks. (This is a standard issue Vigil item)
• Modular, caseless assault rifle/carbine. Bullpup, caseless ammunition, synched with existing implants and capable of mounting a variety of accessories including a 25mm grenade launcher whose munitions range from conventional high explosive to nano-guided scattered mines. It also syncs with HUD implants for improved accuracy in a mechanism similar to a bluetooth link. The trigger is electric and the weapon includes a biometric security system; anyone but someone authorized to handle it and it will blow; that is a standard feature on most any weapon the Vigil has in service with its teams. (This is a standard issue Vigil item)
• Custom sniper rifle, .338 semi-automatic rifle, detachable magazine fed, with a heavy barrel and pseudo-musculature recoil dampening systems akin to those used for cybernetics. It is enhanced with a variety of electronics to ensure high hit probability, including range-finding and elevation/windage adjustment with the same linkage as other the Vigil weapons. The hardware/software package is good enough to achieve consistent hits on a moving vampire, so long as they are unaware of the sniper. It can be broken down into components and transported covertly.
• Ballistic combat knife, which is to say that the blade is magnetically propelled at extremely high speed when activated. Also contains a monofilament wire (capable of strangulation/decapitation) and is designed so that the handle is heavy enough to break bone when swung. It is a weapon made in the style of the NRS-2 ballistic knife of the Spetsnaz.
• A number of electronic accessories, including a PDA tablet and other items to assist in making physical connection with computer equipment. (This is a standard issue Vigil item)
• Grenades, mostly white phosphorus. The organization has designed a 'grenade' that involves a strobing UV light that damages vampires -- it is known as 'the disco ball'.
• Heavier weaponry can be acquired through the Vigil
• Civilian clothing, though everything he wears involves full pant legs and long sleeves. He also wears nonprescription clear glasses indoors, or sunglasses at all times outdoors to help camouflage his eyes.

• Without going into the precise details of what bits were added and removed from Jay Bee’s brain, suffice to say, his head won’t pass through a metal detector without some raised eyebrows. What’s more, there literally was no way for the doctors to fit all of the tech he needed inside his head, and so he has a supplementary external tech repository suitably fashioned so as to arouse the least suspicion – or, in other words, a hat filled with more tech. This plugs directly into inbuilt brain interfaces with camouflaged cables the same colour as either his hair or skin (according to location on his skull) around the frontal lobes, nape of his neck, and behind the ears. Jay Bee wears his hat almost one hundred per cent of the time. There is a good reason for this: as part of the jiggery-pokery, about 30% of his natural brain was removed and replicated in the hat’s circuits and therefore he is roughly 30% less intelligent the moment he is not plugged in. In short, without his hat, he is functionally retarded, particularly with regard to his speech and precise motor faculties.
• Green LEDs: a small but bright green LED on the back of each hand. These are also permanent additions. They are innately connected to the hat, and switch off if it is disconnected, compromised, or broken. This warns other team-members that he is now a moron, and at risk from being hacked.

Equipment:

• The Hat, obviously. Technically it's called a Beta Regulator, but if it looks like a duck hat, it's a duck hat. The style is a bowler, for several reasons, not least of which is that the rounded shape is most suitable for storing lots of tech and deflecting bullets. It connects to his brain through cables the colour of his hair and flesh (for camouflage) plugging into ports at his nape, temples, and above his ears. These cables are, naturally, very tough and also very taut, so that it cannot just fall off. While the hat is designed to be relatively incognito, it is, naturally, supported by a light but powerful metal framework to stop it simply getting squished in combat.
• Mimetic Camouflage (Predator) coat, though this is designed to look more like a trenchcoat -- no doubt some project engineer with a penchant for the dramatic, or an interest in fashion design.

• A sack of honest-to-goodness sharp and awkward objects. For a man that can fill a room with flying mess and debris, it pays to have shrapnel, broken glass ornaments, lengths of webbing and fire hazards handy.
• Boots whose soles are somewhere between caterpillar tracks and pulsing blades, which can tear into concrete. While this is primarily used for walking up walls and along ceilings with grip that would make Spiderman green with envy, they also have a niche for kicking people. While they don't cause that much actual damage, they will bloody hurt what with the whole 'gripping onto the skin and probably tearing it off' factor.

Name: Blake Heimer
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Ethnicity/Nationality: Black//United States
Physical Description: Despite his augments, Blake manages to look almost human, at least with all his clothes on. He is dark-skinned, with brown eyes and close-cut black hair. He's on the shorter, slimmer side, as most of his augments were built to favor speed and function over power. Outwardly, his hands are probably the most notably changed - the tips of his fingers can be altered into a variety of wires and plugs, capable of interfacing with almost any machine. A few prongs of metal on the back of his neck give away the severity of his mental implants, which continue all along down the base of his spine. His limbs have been replaced as well, though in a more convincing imitation of humanity meant for dexterity and agility.

Skillset:
Blake is a hacker born and bred. He was recruited to the Vigil for his immense skill with computers and machines of all kind - if it's connected to a network (as most things are in his day), he can make it work for him. In addition to these talents, he possesses a suite of more physical mechanical skills - he's not a rocket scientist, but he can make a vehicle start in a pinch. Finally, to compensate for his limited combat capability, he has been given an instruction in judo, making use of his augment's speed and dexterity to use a vampire's strength against it.

History
Blake was a career criminal, and a good one; one of the most renowned cyberthieves of the modern era. He worked with a gang of similarly talented individuals, always pushing the boundaries and trying to pull off the biggest digital heist they could. One day, however, they stole from the wrong company - their biggest heist yet had been unknowingly targeted at a vampire shadow organization. Retribution was swift and unyielding - vampires descended on the group's safehouse in a bloodbath of pain and fear. Blake was the only survivor - he was able to slip through the cracks by hiding in one of the building's secret tunnels. Shortly after, he was recruited by the Vigil, noted for his eagerness in avenging his butchered comrades.

Psychological Profile:
Blake shows signs of a predisposition towards hedonism and extreme anti-authoritarian tendencies. Interviews suggest that his past as a thief was motivated more by a desire for recognition than wealth - it wasn't about pulling a big job, it was about everyone knowing he'd pulled a big job. He also displays an unusual emotional attachment to several pieces of his equipment; specifically, the combat/surveillance drones. Finally, he also displays extreme loyalty and dedication to companions - he'll never care much for the Vigil, but he may care for his teammates.

Blake's neural augmentations go significantly deeper than the average operative - he is able to process more information and communicate with any network he can interface with. It's also loaded with an astounding amount of hacking software, assault viruses, and just about every other digital tool a cyber-operative could dream of.

Additionally, the tips of his fingers contain a variety of wires and plugs that he can extend with a thought, allowing him to physically connect to just about any kind of socket or plug that there is.

Finally, all of his limbs have been replaced. The new ones are only slightly stronger, but more more maneuverable and dexterous, helping with his agility and speed (the better to dodge and run with).

Equipment: (The items already listed are standard issue.)

In addition to his standard issue equipment, Blake carries with him a spare set of electronic equipment and a basic set of mechanical tools (wrench, screwdriver, the works).
Finally, he has a set of four combat and surveillance drones capable of flight, each one about the size of a tennis ball when not in use. Each one is loaded with rudimentary video and audio surveillance equipment, as well as a small fold-out machine gun. He is capable of controlling them remotely using his neural enhancements, but also carries a manual control device so that his teammates could still use them if he is incapacitated. He has dubbed them 'Athos', 'Aramis', 'Porthos' and 'd'Artagnan', and seems bizarrely fond of them.

• Cochlear Implants: Giving her the ability to hear a much wider, clearer range of sounds.
• Spine Implants: Helping her flexibility, and helping her reflexes, due to its attachment to the central nervous system.
• In her left arm, her fingertips can be removed to reveal a set of lock-picking tools, something she's proud to say she suggested. The tools can be removed as needed. Her hand can also be pulled back to reveal a small semi-automatic gun.
• In her right, her pointer finger doubles as a flashlight, and her ring finger has a small needle in it, which she can use to inject anything she needs to. In her thumb is a USB drive, so she can download information as it is needed.
• Both of her legs are slightly taller than her original. She has a variety of compartments hidden in them, where she can store things if she needs to.

• Facial recognition database, using a high-resolution, high-speed camera added to the ocular impact and a five terrabyte cranially-implanted solid state hard drive, designed to allow ease of recognition for vampires and suspected vampire accomplices, as well as aid in general investigation. Hard drive must be periodically sweeped for irrelevant pictures.
• Pheremone and chemical scent detector, used to aid in interrogation as well as help track targets marked by a specific scent.
• Spine-integrated medical suite, including coagulant, stimulant, general and local anaesthetics, and, in cases where the agent is compromised, a “kill switch” package of toxins remote-activated by off-site handlers. With the exception of the “kill switch”, the medical suite dispenses medication based off of a wide variety of medical stimuli, with the intent of either healing minor wounds or stabilizing the agent in preparation for medical care.

Name: Kentaro, Azai
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Ethnicity/Nationality: Japanese
Physical Description:

Skillset:

History

Psychological Profile:

Modifications:

• Standard-issue Augmentation Suite. The works, courtesy of the Vigil.
• Ultra-hardened adaptive fist plates, designed to maximize the impact and lethality of Kentaro's punches. When not "active", they loosen in order to allow Kentaro an ordinary range of finger movement.
• Hyper-Augmented Arms, designed to be controllable in a natural sense and adapted from the traditional human form rather than being mere robotic pieces implanted on a human body. Combining lab-grown psuedo-organic material, nanotechnology and flexible, strong artificial muscle fibers, Kentaro's arms are a miracle of science that achieve superhuman feats on a regular basis. When it comes to simple, pure physical action, these augments are rivalled by few save the bulkier, more specialized sort.
• Vital Tissue Reinforcement, which protects his vulnerable, human parts from sudden damage. His internal organs have been reinforced with countless, hyper-specialized nanomachines that react to physical trauma, hardening and manipulating their elasticity in order to prevent his vitals from being ruptured or pierced. This defence is not perfect, but while it is possible to shoot Kentaro's heart and have the bullet pierce his body, the bullet will often fail to pierce his heart itself, allowing him to continue going as if nothing happened. His skull is reinforced in the same manner, although the vulnerability of this area hardly makes him invincible because of this, it does help him sustain head injuries that would incapacitate most.
• Self-Healing Nanomachines, which react to bodily trauma and almost instantly go about closing wounds and repairing damaged tissue from the inside. Specialized to repair almost all kinds of damage imaginable, this augment helps one heal quickly when hurt and get back into the fight instantly. However, in extended operations, it is very possible that one may just straight out run dry on "Healing", and find their damage accumulating normally.
• General Bodily Reinforcement. It was necessary, after the augmentation of Kentaro's arms, to bring the rest of his body up to speed. While they are certainly not nearly as marvellous as his prized fists, his entire body has been reinforced and augmented by the best technology can manage, turning him into a superhuman athlete able to run faster, jump higher and react quicker than most humans.

Equipment:

• Standard-issue Equipment Loadout. As expected of a Vigil agent.
• One Bad Sword. Designed based off of a traditional Japanese sword, Kentaro's Katana is often strapped over his back or placed at his side for easy use. He had to nearly strangle the tech team to get this made for him, and while it can hardly be considered a practical weapon, it excels at cutting Vampires in half. When they let him.
• Ballistic combat knife, which is to say that the blade is magnetically propelled at extremely high speed when activated. Also contains a monofilament wire (capable of strangulation/decapitation) and is designed so that the handle is heavy enough to break bone when swung. It is a weapon made in the style of the NRS-2 ballistic knife of the Spetsnaz. One might ask, why Kentaro has exactly the same knife as a certain other Vigil Agent. To be honest, it's because Kentaro saw it in action, and thought that it seemed extremely cooluseful.
• An honest-to-goodness, pump-action shotgun, brought up to the standards of the modern era and maintaining its role as the most exciting close-quarters weapon around. While it was chosen for its style rather than its efficiency, a face full of buckshot is still plenty effective at knocking a vampire on its ass at point blank.

Ace is a people person. A charmer with wit, sophistication and a keen mind for any and all pieces of advice he could pick up in a conversation. His is The Vigils Face. The man that infiltrates vampire society with nothing but his words and his mind.

Aside from the charm and good looks, Aceis proficient in small caliber firearms and has some rudimentary knowledge of hand to hand combat. He is by no means a fighter, he just simply isn't built for it. His body can't handle the stress of most combat and military grade augmentations. He was lucky that the Vigil could augment him in with their basic kit.

History
Ace is many things and has been many things. Ranging from a model for the pleasure of the well paying and eccentric fashion designers that are abundant these days to a stripper. A product of a wealthy family, one that touts the necessity for humanity to stay human and not augment themselves, Ace was the atypical spoiled rich boy when it came to things such as following the rules of how his father deemed life was necessary in living. When he was old enough to augment himself, he decided on a simple little thing that would allow him to change his eye colour. The change did not go unnoticed by the wealthy head of the Aurous family, especially due to Ace constantly making his eyes neon purple or some other extravagant colour. This act of rebellion was something that continued throughout Ace’s life, ergo him going and stripping to piss off his father and hopefully besmirch the Aurous family name.

Ace’s induction in to The Vigil was not a pleasant one. Having found a steady model job that allowed him to live comfortably, Ace grew grandiose with the parties he was known to throw. The penthouse suite he rented was filled to the point of burst. Lights flared brilliantly in the dark enclosure. Bodies pressed together in a warm sweating mess of drunken flailing and debauchery. Tits were flashed, drugs were taken and alcohol ran like rivers. Above it all sat Ace. He was above the people that writhed to heavy bass and hypnotic pulsing of the dark industrial music that was so popular with the raving scene. Except for one. She was fabulously made; all dangerous curves, flowing hair and femininity. He approached her, wishing only to spend a night. What he got was a set of fangs ripping his throat. The Vigil stormed in and quickly worked to save Ace’s life. Since then, he became a slightly more famous and slightly more reclusive due to his other life as part of the Vigil.

Psychological Profile:
Ace is still kind of a normal guy. Well about as normal as a guy that lives a lifestyle of constant alcohol and cigarettes with no consequences can live. He is a womanizer, always looking to get laid to varying levels of success. With his invasion and constant infiltration of vampire society, he is able to easily slip into many numerous persona’s he has concocted and precisely recall the complex web of lies that persona has. Some call this signs of a sociopath, Ace just likes to think of it as a very special skill. He is still rather afraid of combat and fighting vampires as he, unlike his fellow Vigil members, is not suited for combat.

Modifications: (The ones already listed are standard issue for all characters)
Communications suite, HUD and neural-computer, all standard issue – Vigil agents are able to text by thinking it among each other on a heavily encrypted wireless network. In fact, the computer works off brain impulses and is easily one of the most sophisticated and useful implants they have; what's more, its capabilities have yet to be fully exploited. The downside of this implant is that it includes a cortex bomb with an anti-tampering device. A captured agent can set it off, destroying the hardware inside, or a signal from control can do the same. This is to prevent the enemy from learning the capabilities of implanted agents.
Internal air supply and aerial toxin filter -- this also has the added advantage of making the agent immune to vampire pheromones, as some types of vampires are known to use this to seduce their prey.
Blood/liquid toxin filter -- the obvious is at work here -- vampires use their blood as a means of controlling mortals, and this system (and everyone, even non field agents, in the Vigil organization have this implant) screens out one of most subtle weapons a vampire has, rendering them functionally immune to being controlled through ingested blood the way mortal thralls of a vampire might be.
Eye augmentation; a HUD showing all sorts of system data, such as the status of implants, as well as allowing for low-light and ultra-sound modes of vision, the latter being thought to be more effective than thermographics when dealing with vampires, who tend to run cold if they haven't fed lately.

Equipment: (The items already listed are standard issue.)

Mimetic Camouflage (Predator) coat, though this is designed to look more like a trenchcoat -- no doubt some project engineer with a penchant for the dramatic, or an interest in fashion design. The coat is actually stylish, which serves a dual purpose as vampires tend to dress stylishly and surround themselves with the stylishly dressed. This allows Vigil agents one more edge. Of course, they call it the Predator Coat. Because the engineers are geeks. (This is a standard issue Vigil item)
A number of electronic accessories, including a PDA tablet and other items to assist in making physical connection with computer equipment. (This is a standard issue Vigil item)
Grenades, mostly white phosphorus. The organization has designed a 'grenade' that involves a strobing UV light that damages vampires -- it is known as 'the disco ball'.
Small caliber hand gun - Ace is unable to use the standard issue Vigil firearm, so this is his gun.
The Mask - Ace had a mask created for him by The Vigil, able to disguise himself and alter features on the fly. The Mask feels and looks authentic, the only telling sign is a small, nigh invisible line that sits just under his collar bones. It is able to imitate hair.
