Height (5'9") |
Weight (160lbs) The experimental Super Soldier Mind Controller, Project.MUTE.exe, has been removed... or has it?
Know Augmentations:
Project.MUTE.exeCan be utilized to temporarily take over speech and body movements of person through external software. Was originally designed as a mind controller to prevent soldiers from going AWOL or intentionally MIA.
Side effects are currently unknown, as the base software was originally hijacked by museum intel from a world government. Nick is one of 5 Louvre agents currently sporting this feature.
Visaid.exe An entity tracker that notes some suspected sentient movement within user's field of view, but only up to 150 yards.
Known Side Effects: Well... aren't squirrels sentient? Paranoia can set in, if kept on too long without breaks.
Suspending use when tracking Hallow, is strongly advised.
Toolbx.axisDesigned by The Council, manufactured by Cairo Museum, but only issued to select field archeologists.
Similar technology to the storage watch, but instead of a wearable watch, a small implant is placed just above the wrist. Useful for single weapon storage. Weapon of choice can be changed freely, but bigger weapons are not stable and therefore, storage of bigger guns is not its intended recommended use.
But when has "recommended" ever stopped an idiot from trying? Using smaller Glocks means user will have easy storage of up to 2 pistols. One pistol per wrist.
Rechargeable CDE-based pistols are popular among users, but considered incredibly dangerous. So, Nick opted to play it safe with standard 9×19mm Parabellum bullets... thanks, Thierry.
That means only 6 bullets per fully loaded gun, if you just happen to lose your watch... so don't fucking miss those headshots, bitch. Known Side Effects: Early onset of arthritis.
Toolbx.messModern warfare technology that allows users to send and receive text or verbal messages via telepathy. Civilians do not typically have access to this, but TWG or other militant rebels might.
The radius is basically like a 2g or 5g mobile connection. But he can't read people's thoughts, even if they do have the implant software. He has to actually "send" and "accept" the messages, using a memory of what the irl user interface screen looks like. Sorta like visual muscle memory.
Known Side Effects:Receiving or sending messages can be distracting while shooting enemy combatants.
ModAI A cerebral augmentation popular among active agents. Was originally designed by a world government, for military use. But the base software was hijacked by museum intel. Used primarily to stop pain while actively serving, but has also been used to "float" when off duty.
Known Side Effects: The Louvre has temporarily suspended ModAI's use for active field agents due to user being oblivious to life-threatening injuries. Unfortunately????? Nick was unconscious when the update was pushed out, and has not taken effect yet.
Personality: Nick is a junkyard dog at first glance. Piss him off? He'll happily hand you your ass for free. While he might come off as nothing more than a cantankerous sassy little shit, he's actually a deep well of lovingly charismatic emotion. He's terrified of losing others, so he chooses to push people first and ask questions later. Nothing in this life lasts forever, so he'd rather not have it. Where others may fail when left to their own devices, he thrives in solitude.
As he's gotten older however, he's become calmer. Even still, he prefers to stay to himself and work alone... or that's what he'll tell you. Can come across as cranky, bitchy, or overbearing... particularly if angered. While he doesn't always play well with others, he's genuinely working on his angered behavior in social settings.
Defining Trait: Reliable
Goal: At this point? Personally put a bullet through Vonny's skull.
Backstory: Nick started working for The Louvre as a field archeologist several years ago, and is starting to regret it.
Was a mamma's boy through and through, even now that his mother has since passed away from Breast Cancer, he still wears her cherished cameo locket. His father died in a car crash, on their way to go see mom in the hospital. His mother eventually remarried, but died three years later. Nick hates his stepfather with a fiery passion- and likewise. To this day he's convinced that the man only wanted the insurance money. Money that he, nor his little brother, Aaron, ever saw.
Years of fighting with his stepfather, school authority figures, and everybody else for that matter, Nick's found himself in and out of homes and juvenile detention centers across the country. After making some significant behavioral changes in regular therapy sessions after his diagnosis of Oppositional Defiance Disorder, a judge granted him one last chance at attending school.
With his grades up, or at least at passing level, a certain type of fate happened during an otherwise routine field trip to Egypt. It started off as a simple desire to escape noisy peers and examine the hieroglyphs, but Nick soon found himself firing a shotgun at reluctantly dead mummies. That was 9 years ago. He's since managed to become a person of interest for The Louvre, or rather... a pain in the ass for Thierry, through the help of an Egyptian Field Agent, Ramses Saamir Andrew. Aaron was still living with their Uncle in Maine, and had no idea Nick was MIA from his boarding school.
And the rest is history...
Skills: Specializes in Ruin Exploration (off grid survival) that often requires self protection from [redacted].
He's well versed in MMA, weaponry, parkour and endurance training, therefore doubling as a bodyguard for any artifacts he collects. He has decent knowledge of vehicular mechanics and can stand in as an IT technician, but has limited knowledge in computer science. Able to speak French, but not fluent.
Inventory: Nothing too out of the ordinary, Nick likes to keep it simple with his gear.
