Psychological Record:
Loading excerpt from Daedalus records. Load complete.

The subject, hereafter designated as Nate, seems to have a natural desire to protect or fix his "siblings". Since he was young, the subject has always tried to help anyone he can with whatever he can get his hands on. The subject seems calm under fire while doing his work. This calm nature seems to extend to his siblings as well. No matter what they do the subject will listen and offer advice or try to help. He seems able to quickly jump between healing someone and killing an enemy without thought. The subject never shows if he is angry at someone. Oddly the subject seems to care for each one of his siblings and knows each of their names.
The First Ten Years:
Request History File: Granted

Nathan has always cared for his siblings and this shows in his actions. From the beginning it was clear that he was not blood crazy. He will kill but will show no real feelings towards it either way. A changing event of his life was when he was reading an old book about anatomy and he noticed a fellow recruit bleeding from a stomach wound. Nate could tell just by looking at this man he was not going to make it to one of the doctors in time to survive. Nate did not have any medical gel on hand so he used what he had. Nate had a traditional medical kit and a book on human anatomy. A few minutes later one of the instructors was called in and saw Nate leaned over the fellow soldier sewing him up. He had managed to save the young man or at least stabilize him long enough to get medical gel in him.

From that day forth Nate was trained to be a medic. Nate is very good at fixing people both mentally and physically. He cares for everyone else in his "family". He tries to act as both a brother and a friend to his entire team.

Cybernetic Augmentations:
Doc has a Caduceus medical chip inside his brain that shows the status of his entire squad. It can show him their heart beats and other medical facts about them. It helps him figure out the best course of action to help his teammates.

Combat Role:
Field Medic
To clarify this, you need to look at all of Nate. Most troops have medical gel injector which is nice and all but it can only do so much. You need to be able to fix multiple different injuries while in the field. Doc carries a few different gels that seem to have different effects on his siblings. He is trained to be able to both heal and kill.

Loadout:
-two smoke and two fragmentation grenades
- a combat knife
-medical gel injector

Cadmus 23-beta injector armband. This device is capable of injecting different serums into allies.
-Red: Doc calls this one Berserk. For a short period of time, depending on the person, all pain responses to the brain are ignored. The person can withstand more punishment than before and it makes the person even faster and stronger. It wears off quickly though.

-Blue: Mellow. This one is useful to slow down the effects of the red gel since it calms the user down.

-Green: A stronger version of the standard medical gel. It works faster and is reserved for truly terrible wounds.

It has a combat feature where he can activate an electric knife.



HF Gruber Submachine gun
This gun is designed to be easy to use and light enough so Nate can focus on healing.

Personality Traits/Psychological Analysis

Psychological Record:
Francis throughout the academy is known to be a very incisive, analytical person and is presumed to have an extremely high mental capacity as he is known for having a great memory and problem solving abilities. However, being as it may, Francis is also known for at times (like most children) as a boastful and reckless person when it comes to people as he sometimes can be noted for being insensitive and intellectually crude to others who stand in his way. As intelligent as he may be, there are several character flaws to this seemingly 'perfect soldier', as is the same for most of the initiates at Hoama.

In Francis's case, he appears to have obsessive compulsions at times, being observed (like many every child in the institution are) by psychologists who watched him and soon began to take notes of his pathological profile but never truly saw these flaws in his character that might get in the way of his training. Graphologically, Francis seems to write very clean and organized as he is left-handed but occasionally writes with his right which seems to suggest that he is internally very disciplined and organized. Francis also appears to only want to walk in a number which is divisible by three and tends to occasionally widen his steps to make it not seem as noticeable, this of course pertains to his possible OCD as he also appears to have a wide interest in numbers especially the number 3 in which he tends only to write the page numbers in his journal by.

In his journal, Francis also at times writes (as he also does to his friends) about his pet peeves regarding people and situations typically involving an incident with other students. In one incident, he got into a fight with other initiates over an argument over who had better tactics which resulted in name calling. Francis appears to have the typical 'it's not my fault, it's theirs. I'm always right, they're wrong. I'm the one being oppressed by these people' like behavior as he seems to defend himself whenever authoritative figures tend to ask him his motives as he can sometimes lie over small incidents to protect himself.

Francis displays and expresses acts of affection to others yet self-doubts and questions his own motives at times, on top of often being noted as a pathological liar at times as he became older in order to protect himself from appearing weak. Despite being extremely intelligent, Francis seems to become neglectful when it comes to people as he also has a tendency of writing emails, perpetuating his annoyances to others and yet never putting the blame to himself, this is what we can consider someone with a paranoid personality disorder which explains the constant reoccurance of falsely being victimized by others who seek to 'destroy him' as he puts it in his journals. Individuals such as Francis with a Paranoid Personality Disorder grow up having excessive distrust and suspiciousness of others. We also take into consideration his inability to emphasize with others, like most of the children bred into the academy, children have a harder time emphasizing with others compared to normal children mainly due to their disciplines in the school, but Francis seems to stand out more than others. His appearing unintentional insensitivity towards others is a behavior in which we may associate with Asperger's Syndrome although we are not in the right to diagnose him, as appears to be very neurotypical in his behaviors despite the small idiosyncrasies including his obsessive compulsions at times or being unintentionally inconsiderate of his peer's emotions, this maybe due his medications when he was younger. Despite this, Francis seems to be a somewhat normal-functioning initiate and none of these tend to stand in the way of his training. He is a top-notch soldier who will most likely become great in the eyes of his teachers despite the character flaws.
-From the reports of several observing psychologists.

The First Ten Years:
From infancy to early toddler-hood, Francis seemed to develop normally despite having sensitive hearing and a sensitivity to light but had a 20/20 eye sight; He was also happy and engaging as a infant. Although growing up, Francis seemed to also have developed some difficultly socializing with other children, often going back to his book or running as a way to relieve stress whenever his fellow peers were never there to console with him. Because of this, Francis has become a somewhat bitter person until the age of 8 where we began to make friends with similar interests as him.

Francis has deep interests in Mathematics as he is almost obsessed with numbers and mathematical formulas as he also had aspirations to become a professor if he were to ever get kicked out of the institution. However, since he's stayed, Francis's interests are only but hobbies as he is also very educated in Game Theory and Tactics, also being a profoundly decent chess player. This grabbed the attention of several observing psychologists who noted his behavior and thought of him as a genius who could most likely benefit the institution as a mathematician or a strategist, but Francis wanted to be a soldier for that time ever came.

He then was from there on, a 'noted soldier' as psychologists soon began to observe his interesting behavior. Apart being antisocial, Francis was able to make a few close friends among acquainted, soon-to-be comrades who shared interests as he did and was regarded as his friends as intelligent. However, Francis was also regarded as a 'unmercifully, sharp-tongued ass' according to other classmates as he is at times pessimistic and unsympathetic, often saying things too honestly or harshly as he is also unaware of these implications. Despite this, his friends were possibly the only ones who could understand him.

That was until at the age of 9 where he witnessed two friends die of heat-stroke and from there on it seemed that Francis was mentally scarred, leaving him almost friendless. This inevitable incident, seems to have made him a somewhat pessimistic person and soon became distrusting of other people as he is at times betrayed by other students. After this tragedy, Francis became as many might call it: a very disciplined, almost unemotional soldier. As he is now considered ready to further his training (assuming he's still ten).

Roles

Cybernetic Augmentations:
Francis has been injected with several cybernetic augmentations in order to better himself in his position. These include:
-A far more keen eye sight which made amends to his sensitive hearing as well as giving him night-vision
-Like most initiates, he was given a muscle-mass augmentation
-Being a sniper, Francis was also given a central nervous stimulate to prevent in order to hit his targets with precise accuracy
-A bronchial enhancement which expanded his lung capacity in order to run greater distances

Combat Role: Scout Sniper.


Other information regarding skills:
Francis seems to also have a natural ability to calculate when and where his bullets will precisely hit a target. This is may be due to his Cybernetic Augmentations but his skills to do so are almost impeccable, he is a well-planned strategist and can almost easily outwit a vast majority of people.

Appearance: Despite all the training that the Daedalus program subjects receive as 'basic training', Rei looks nothing like a soldier meant for the battlefield. Pale and delicate in appearance, combined with her slightly shorter than average height, makes her seem almost like a doll. Always wearing her hair in a pony tail, the color a bluish silver, with red highlights towards the end. Also, despite having two different eye colors, those are natural, she's a heterochromic. During her more whimsical times, whenever she smiles, it gives of an appearance of a jester, with mischief dancing in her eyes. During times when she flips, she appears more like a mechanical doll.
Name: Tenrei Yuuyami, Rei for short
Call sign: Void
ID TAG: 442564
Gender: Female

Psychological Record: Rei flips back and forth between two personalities, which is evident right before debriefing. Although one is merely a 'mask', or a facade, it is still difficult to realize this. Her true personality is laid back, relaxed, and whimsical, and almost cat-like. Her actions and her words will be thought up on the spot, with zero filters of any kind, bringing about troubles with her honest thoughts.

However, the moment the order to mobilize is called for, Rei's personality flips, becoming apathetic, with an overly realistic view of the world around her, to the point where she seemingly borderlines nihilism. Be wary of her sharp tongue, pessimistic opinions, and most importantly, reckless combat methods that borderline suicidal. It is extremely hard to break her back down to her real self quickly, as it takes downtime after the mission for her to slowly thaw out.

Unfortunately, there seems to be an ever growing problem. Rei does not understand what it means to develop relations with others. She can communicate, but she is unable to understand emotions. Being surrounded by in animated objects and researchers does not allow one to know what it means to feel sad, to feel happy. She can only organize the feelings of others into categories of 'friendly', 'neutral', and 'hostile'.

The First Ten Years: From a young age, Rei had less than average interest in the usual training that everyone was forced to do. No matter what, she seemed to take basic training as something that was wrong, that wasn't meant for her. Of course, this angered the higher-ups.

However, she had caught their interest, when during one of the psychological tests, Rei had answered every question. Without giving time for the psychologist to even ask. She had memorized the multitude of questions with only several sessions. While she had only average fighting capabilities, her mental capabilities were on top. Choosing to refine that strength, they tested her, giving her many papers to memorize, ranging from blueprints of vehicles and weaponry, to charts and data. No only did she easily memorize it all, she was capable of adapting her knowledge, akin to the knowledge of fixing the transmission of a car, being used to fix a tank. Anything technologically or mechanically related, Rei was capable of utilizing.

Unfortunately, due her her unusual pathway, Rei did not develop social skills nor understand herself. While she can still communicate with others, it isn't at an intimate level exactly. It's more akin to a bunch of 1's and 0's being transferred.

Cybernetic Augmentations: A wireless neural implant that connects to a durable collar on her neck. The collar acts as an antenna and holographic projectors for the neural implant. While the holoscreens are actually intangible, and she recently learned how to create the image of the screen mentally and work with them inside her mind, her habit generally trumps over, using the holoscreens akin to a touchscreen. Granted, the holoscreens are a good alternative to printing out maps during debriefing. Through the collar, Rei is capable of wirelessly connecting to any system that is broadcasting. Even closed systems she can access, so long as she manages to break through the firewalls and digital defenses.

Out on the field, she is capable of either sending out pulses, akin to a radar, from the collar, before broadcasting the resulting image to other view holoscreen. This enables her to technically 'see' in zero visibility conditions. However, the pulses are detectable, and can possibly alert any hostiles. In the worst case scenario, it also functions as an EMP, although this fries the collar. In technicality, without the collar, the neural implant can still function, but lacks the scanning and EMP capabilities, as well as being shorter in range.

Combat Role: Communications, EW, and Engineer.
Compared to the other's in the Daedalus program, Rei is not as capable in direct combat. Her specialty lies in supporting others, through sorting out jumbled information from multiple teammates, to piloting and repairing most vehicles on the fly, and even through wireless electronical warfare. However, at the odd times where she is required to fight, she seems to be able to hold her own well enough with the standard Hawke MkIII's

Loadout: Although not a specialized combatant, Rei carries around the basic loud out of dual Hawke MkIII's, modified with extended magazines, alongside a large pack filled with tools required for repairing a multitude of machinery.

The Lupus Storm XMVII, commonly known as the “Lupus X7,” is a prototype carbine developed specifically for the Daedalus Initiative. Effective at a range of no more than 100 m. due to its rate of fire of 1500 rounds per minute, the X7 fires so quickly and with such force that superhuman strength, dexterity, and reflexes are absolutely required for practical use. The Lupus X7 fills the close- to mid-range gaps left by the ARR-221; while the ARR was an effective adaptive weapon system, Lupus sought to create a weapon that simply excelled in CQC. The X7 meets and exceeds such requirements, thus providing a solution for soldiers looking for an edge in close quarters.
