Name: Zack Withers Age: 22 Position: Ghost Team Leader Callsign: Crimson Serial Number: PY29437 Weapons: C-30B Prototype Canister Rifle, twin Shredder machine pistols, and twin combat knives Armor: Prototype HES- Suit has well concealed gas valves that aid in the combustion of things around Zack, making use of his pyrokinesis in mixed environments possible, color scheme is changed to jet black and blood red to indicate it isn't standard issue. Abilities: Cloak, Awareness, Influence mind, pyrokinesis, Psi Drive Backstory: Zack was born to a high end family in a high end hospital on Korhal IV, the seat of the future Dominion Empire. When he was eight years old he showed signs of psionic abilities, setting the teacher's desk on fire in third grade in the middle of class. Two hours after the incident, for which Zack was sent home, a ghost and three marines arrived at his home later that evening, explaining to his parents his bright future, and took him to the Ghost Academy, where he was trained in the control of his powers to increase and improve speed, agility, aim and strength. Shortly before finishing his first year in the Academy, he was placed in a sparring match against an older student who was nearing the end of her training. The match ended in a draw and with Zack earning a new scar, a burning reminder of how much he could improve. After his second year in the Ghost Academy, the Dominion came in and took over, the fall of the Confederacy having reached the Academy after the evacuation when the Sons of Korhal had begun their attack on Tarsonis. The Dominion's program was, when compared to the things the Confederacy did, much easier and he had little trouble finishing up his last two years. However, shortly after his graduation, the UED attacked the Academy on Ursa and destroyed it despite his best efforts to help defend it. Now nineteen years old, he was deployed on his first mission, a job quelling an uprising on a backwater planet by removing the leader. Proving more than capable with every guard removed as a threat and the leader's throat cleanly sliced with one of the guard's own knives, Agent Wither, call sign Crimson, was soon sent on increasingly important missions. After the successful capture of a Spectre, much to Zack's disgust, as he felt the Spectre should have been executed, he was assigned as a participant in Project Solar Flare, an attempt by the Dominion to create more powerful Pyrokinetics. The events molded Zack further into a cold blooded killing machine and he, along with two others, left the Project still alive and sane. Appearance: Wears his blood red and jet black HES with the helmet usually up. When he takes it off, Has blood red eyes, fiery red hair cut short and a scar running along his right cheek from a sparring match. Athletic build with toned but not huge muscles. NOTES: C-30B Prototype is different only in that it's not got a fully automatic option and has a thermal option built into the scope. Psi-Drive is a specialized form of Psi Enhancment that allows Zack to boost specific parts of his bodies beyond normal limits. However, the drain it puts on him afterwords is significant. He can use Psi Drive roughly three to four times before he requires extensive rest, typically a rest period of normal sleep hours. Influence Mind is basically the act of putting suggestions into an opponents head and making them think it was their idea. Should be noted that of the two telepathic abilities he has, it's the more potent, as the strength of his Telepathy is limited to direct mental communication and resisting mental attacks. He can only pick up on surface thoughts in terms of mind reading.
