[b]Noble Arm Abilities:[/b]
[list][*] [u]Consume[/u] - The standard ability of Hopes End. The basis for the other abilities the Noble Arm possesses. Whenever Hope’s End injures an opponent, it absorbs a portion of the opponent’s power proportional to the injury inflicted. 
[*] [u]Boost[/u] - Often used on the user of Hope’s End. Hope’s End can use the built up energy to boost the physical abilities and attributes of the wielder. 
[*] [u]Heal[/u] - Hope’s End can expend the built up energy to heal the wielder or anyone that the wielder can lay their hands on.
[*] [u]Duplicate[/u] - A rarer ability of Hope’s End. If an Arms Master is killed, the energy that is gained from it can be used to duplicate the ability of the Noble Arm that belonged to the slain Arms Master. However, once that energy is used up either through boosting, healing or duplicating, those abilities cannot be used again. 
[/list]

[hider=Energy Points]
Duplicate is hard to explain with a whole bunch of numbers and delving into the *energy* of Hope’s End. 

It’s not as clear cut as this, but if you simplify it down… 

Each person has 100hp. Every time Hope’s End deals damage to those hit points it gains a charge for every hp lost. So a paper cut might only be 1-2 hp, but losing a limb could be 60+ hp. Now all that energy goes into a pool. 
If the target also happens to be an Arms Master, the last hp has code for Arms Abilities. Now that code can only be applied to energy stolen from that target. 

So if you deal a killing blow to a heavily injured Arms Master, you will o oh get 20-30 energy points, but they can be used to replicate the abilities of that Arms Master. Once they are used up they are gone. 
Some abilities will obviously have a higher cost and as such can’t be used as much.

[b]Misc Abilities:[/b] Prior to any military service, Charles was trained in Savate by his father who was the three times world champion in his youth. When Charles later joined the Action Division of the Directorate-General for External Security, and became trained in sabotage, destruction of materiel, assassination, detaining/kidnapping, interrogation with and without using torture, infiltration/exfiltration of persons into/from hostile territory and hostage rescue. These skills would serve him well when he became an Arms Master and moved into the Private Sector. 

[b]Personality:[/b] 

        [b]Likes:[/b] Expensive Wine. Coffee. “The finer things in life.” Money. Sparring.

        [b]Dislikes:[/b] Self proclaimed Gods. Relying on Noble Arms. 

        [b]Fears:[/b] Charles doesn’t have many fears. Chief among them though is probably leaving a job half done. Or at least that’s what he tells people. Charles’ real biggest fear is letting people in. Scared that people will hate the real him, or worse betray him and use his feelings against him. 

[b]Bio:[/b] Born to a Savate world champion, so most of his early childhood was spent being forced to train in the French martial art. Most afternoons after school was spent in the training hall either sparring or tidying it. 
When he turned eighteen he signed up to the French military, and not long after that, his skills in Savate got him poached into the Action Division. He spent nearly 20 years working with the Action Division before manifesting a Noble Arm. During this time he specialised in covert operations and even tackling Arms Master threats to French National Security. 
On one mission Charles teamed up with a Russian Arms Master to battle a group of Russian Terrorists that were in France. 
Kostya, Charles’s partner at the time, was the Russian Arms Master that was wielding Hope’s End. During the mission, Kostya had his left arm cut off by one of the Terrorists that turned out to be an Arms Master. 
Kostya then sacrificed himself to Hope’s End to form a feedback loop of energy and passed the Noble Arm onto Charles. It was a last ditch effort that resulted in a temporary massive power boost to Hope’s End and resulted in the Noble Arm being passed onto Charles. 
After cleaning up the remaining terrorists, he took some time off to ponder the consequences of becoming an Arms Master. 

Charles ended up deciding on moving to the Private Sector after he received an offer he couldn’t refuse. 
Around 20 years later he had made a name for himself as a private contractor who would take a job with whoever has the money to pay. 

[b]*Current Goal:[/b] Complete the contract. 

[b]Military or Civilian Rank:[/b] Private Contractors
