[CHAR] PZPRS : Hard Cover Edition

[AlternateMan]

CS barebones:

Name: What you go by in general.
Callsign: How you’ll be referred to on-mission.
B.A.S.E. Degree: Refer to the Database Logs in OOC post zero. Standard humans are Banal.
Threat Level: Refer to the Database Logs in OOC post zero. Only applicable to paranatural agents.

Age: The length of time you’ve lived or existed for, if applicable.
Appearance: What you look like, including off-mission outfits if applicable.
Personality: Your psychological profile - general traits, likes and dislikes, etcetera.
Background: The events of your past, and more specifically what has brought you to PZPRS. Exacting detail is not needed for unimportant stretches of time.

Specialty: What role you take on in the squad.
Gear: The equipment you utilize for missions, including weapons, armour, and general utility.

Paranatural Effects: List abnormal features the agent possesses here, if any. Bear in mind that these are not outright superpowers - at best, most people viewing somebody throwing fireballs from their hands will be disconcerted if they are not used to them, plus you’ll be scolded for reminding the world that there are things they don’t want to think about out there. (Also, for balance’s sake, try to avoid making your character too strong with these. You’re agents, not superweapons.)

Exampaul Leaderman

Name: Master Sergeant Giovanni Marcellus
Callsign: “Booties”
B.A.S.E. Degree: Banal
Threat Level: N/A

Age: 42
Appearance: Giovanni is in his middle age, and it shows largely in his facial features and hair - he has the figure of somebody holding on to strength, but the wrinkles in his face, the weariness of once-bright blue eyes, and the salting of otherwise-dark brown hair shows that strength is waning. Outfit-wise, he tends to stick to the uniform offered by PZPRS, a fairly dark-toned modification of military uniform with no identifying markers beyond PZPRS’s symbol on the inside of one chest pocket.

Personality: He is, for want of better phrasing, a perfect military man. Loyal to whoever has his service, which for a great long time has been the US Army and the USA as a whole, and is currently the Paranatural Zoology and Physics Research Syndicate, he’s seen the best and worst of the world through the lens of a veteran, and it has shaped him accordingly, his responses to most events pretty well engineered to those of a soldier, and more precisely a sergeant of several decades.

Background: Born to an impoverished family of Italian descent, Giovanni followed the path of a great many college students and joined the military at a young age. In theory part of a reserve unit, it was only a few years after that when a certain nation-shaking event changed things for him forever: deployed to the Middle East, Giovanni spent countless years fighting in the name of the United States of America, against foes who he saw as the bane of world safety, with for the most part not enough time spent back home to even realise the folly of his hatred of people who he didn’t even quite understand were of different cultures... until he was injured at the age of forty, and sent home to rest and recover until he could return to the front line. With nothing else to do, he did his research, realised the truth, and as soon as he could stand requested he be sent home with an honourable discharge.
Returning home physically was one thing. Mentally was quite another - in the end, the fighting had left its scars, as it does on most veterans, and he struggled immensely to find work with any civilian faculty. Eventually, he hit a low point; and it was there that an agent of a group he’d never heard of before approached him, asking him to visit them and see if he had what it took to be an employee of theirs. He agreed begrudgingly - it couldn’t be worse than the mental demons he had going already. Little did he know that the entity he’d be put up against, as head of a squadron of prospective hires, would try to insert its own; a quirk of its paranaturality kept those who suffered PTSD from being too badly affected, and of a group of ten potential victims of intense madness, only he and two others stood tall enough to fend it off and capture it for the company - or rather, for the Syndicate. A permanent position was offered to him, and he took it, finding a new purpose as a Hard Cover Agent.

Specialty: Leader/Coordinator
Gear: Bullet-resistant vest, to avoid being shot.
M4 carbine, for effective military-grade firepower in confined spaces.
M9 pistol, for close-quarters firing.
KA-BAR US army knife, for CQC.
Group radio, to communicate with and relay orders to fellow squad members relatively silently and/or from a distance.

Paranatural Effects: N/A

[AlternateMan]

Name: Winsler Isom
Callsign: Mirage
B.A.S.E. Degree: Strange
Threat Level: Concern

Age: 45
Appearance: Mirage appears as a man wearing a dark brown long coat that reaches down to his ankles with exaggerated collars around his neck, with an ivory cowboy hat with wide brim. His face tends to be obscured due to a conveniently placed lighting or shadow, or mostly hidden by his hat and coat collar.
Personality:
Winsler, despite his shady appearance at first glance, is a communicative and friendly individual. Decades of separation from the world has made his mind far from an average human being, but with the help of PZPRS personnel providing him the necessary help he has gotten much better and maintains a healthy mindset compared to when he was first recruited by PZPRS.

Background:
His name and age has been confirmed by consulting the subject himself. Winsler claims that he had been roaming the world of reflections as his current self for 27 years. He made contact with PZPRS when he had been roaming for 15 years in mirrors, agreeing to work with the installation to keep the dangers of the world in check and preparing a countermeasure should he go rogue in some way. The Director of Many Things partook in the questioning.

Specialty: Informant/espionage
Gear: Pen and paper, a .44 magnum revolver

Paranatural Effects: Winsler can only be observed via viewing him through a reflective surface. He will appear within it, and is able to hear sounds made near the reflective surface he is appearing on. He himself cannot make any sound/physical effects that can effect the world out of the reflection, except for a few exceptions. He communicates via pen and paper, as sound cannot be made from him.
His pen and paper never seems to run out of ink and supplies. The .44 magnum he carries cannot physically damage anything except for certain reflective surfaces. Should Winsler aim and fire at the reflective surface he is being seen through, he can disrupt the surface. Mirrors would crack as if it had been shot by a handgun round, puddles would ripple violently to disrupt the view.
Most phenomena do not have an obvious effect on him, whether S.A.M. or paranatural, due to his disconnected nature. This includes all physical phenomena, and most psychology-altering effects, barring certain exceptions. More research is required to know the exact guidelines.
He seems to be able to move around a space even if it does not include reflective surfaces. This allows him to infiltrate/enter dangerous environments without risking his life, allowing him to gather information that isn't in an enclosed location.
