[CHAR] ImportantNobody vs. DJAtomika - A Song of Fire and More Fire

[DJAtomika]

Name: Luis Sanchez
Age: 32
Country of origin: San Jose, California
Specialty: Fire Support

Equipment:

• A M249 Saw light machine gun
• A Benelli M1014 automatic shotgun
• An IMI Desert Eagle
• A machete

Appearance: Luis stands six foot three inches tall, with broad shoulders and chest, tanky arms and a packed torso and core, indicative of all the training and heavy lifting he's done. He sports a head of close-cut short, brown hair, brown eyes and a little soul patch under his lower lip.

Bio: Sanchez is a full blooded Spanish-American, born and raised in San Jose on the west coast. Not long after he hit the right age, he immediately requested to sign on with the army. After his basics, he was placed within an infantry battalion, one that was posted to fight the War on Terror. This was in 2003.

In 2006, his platoon came under fire from an enemy machine gun emplacement inside a building. Trapped across a road from the rest of his section, Sanchez took it upon himself to free the rest of his comrades from the suppression of hot lead. With only his LMG and shotgun, he charged at the building in question, daring and taunting the insurgents within to kill him. They put up a fight, but Sanchez beat them back, forcing the gunner away from his position by firing back. With his bravery and confidence under fire, it was then that Delta Force took notice. They extracted Sanchez from his unit and put him into the rigorous Delta training regime, to see if he could stand the pressure. Long story short, he could, and he became part of Delta as one of their operators.

In the two years that followed, Sanchez and his squad, codenamed Tiger, reaped a whirlwind across Taliban soil, with counter-op after counter-op that sabotaged terror operations within the Middle East that the insurgents could never counter. They gained a significant negative reputation amongst the insurgents, to a point where bin Laden himself issued a bounty on the four "Western Tigers" for whoever could kill and bag them.

In 2008, the Tigers were re-deployed to Cairo, Egypt, where a suspected terror cell had set up shop in the deserts outside the city. Their mission was to infiltrate the desert by night, locate the base and destroy it, leaving behind no witnesses. The op began smoothly, of course, and with the help of satellite imagery and GPS tracking, the Tigers were able to locate the hidden base: camoflaged underneath tarps covered in sand, hidden a ways underground. With carefully placed explosive charges and several steathy kills, the Tigers exfiltrated the base and blew it the hell up.

Of course, this attracted the attention of more insurgents who'd been stationed in another hidden base nearby as part of a counter-op, and the Tigers were subsequently pursued away from the base, away from Cairo, and into the Sahara desert. There, they stumbled upon an abandoned town, claimed a little by the shifting sands, but perfect as a defensible location to hold off their pursuers until help arrives.

This is where our story begins.

Personality: Sanchez is very up-front, gung-ho and boisterous. Most that are asked to describe him say that he laughs in the face of danger, and most times it shows. He is fiercely protective of those he calls squadmates, and more importantly friends, and will stop at nothing to ensure their safety in times of crisis, often placing himself in the line of fire to make sure they can reach safety and counterattack.

KIA

[ImportantNobody]

Name: Rez
Age: 37
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearance: He has dark skin and a muscular body, standing at 6'11''. His hair is most often buzz cut. The bottom half of his body, up to his hips, are robotic, as well as robotic plating over his spinal cord ending at the nape of his neck.

Personality: He often means business but is not uptight about it, letting people have their fun and having the last laugh in the end when he comes out on top. He does joke around a little bit when the mood strikes him, often very dry or dark. He's mainly out for himself.

Abilities

Physical Abilities- Thanks to his robot legs he can run at speeds of 65 miles per hour for extended periods without tiring. He can lift around a ton.

Nanomachine Healing- Thanks to nanomachines flowing throughout his body, his moderate to minor wounds can heal within minutes, electrical impulses to jumpstart his heart if that remains an option, and fighting off toxins/viruses/etc.

Combat Training- He has military training and real world experience that makes him well versed in such matters. He can fight hand to hand, with knifes, or most types of guns on an advanced level, only loosing in terms of raw skill to people who specialize in a certain aspect. His favorite weapon is the heavy machinegun.

Powers

Energy Stimulation- Nanomachines stimulate his body to create the energy needed for magical powers due to him no longer able to do so himself. It's a barely controllable reaction, his entire body (excluding robotic parts) either lighting on fire or crackling with electricity as the energy is brought out, a process with takes three seconds to reach it's peak. At that point he has five seconds to send it off or else it will begin to cause agonizing pain and damage, although can already do so to others should they touch his body. Once off of his body, the chosen element will travel at around 3,000 miles per hour for his electricity of 40 miles per hour for his fire, either one going out after traveling 50 feet, breaking apart very quickly in either case, sort of like a shotgun blast.

If you consider him having 100 points to put into this, his electricity would take 30 points each blast and his fire would take 20. If he goes much overboard than he'd suffer a lot of pain and debilitating injuries, just like if he'd keep it stimulated for too long. He must also wait at least 30 seconds between each stimulation for the same reason. He can suicide himself by stimulating all 100 imaginary points at once to unleash a massive burst of electricity and fire in all directions around his body.

Equipment

Armor: He wears typical gear a soldier armed to the teeth would, of course complete with bulletproof vest able to withstand smaller caliber bullets like from pistols for an extended period of time, even taking at least a couple shots from powerful snipers to penetrate. His helmet is just as well defended and has a screen that can extend down and shield his eyes from sudden bright lights as well as give him different methods of night vision (usually but not always thermal) and can track object's velocities to pinpoint where attacks might be coming from.

Weapons: A heavy 50 caliber machinegun that can still be wielded while on the move is his favorite weapon. It has 30 round clips that fire 5 rounds a second, firing automatic or semi-auto. He also has two pistols similar to desert eagles in capability, although he doesn't commonly use them both at once, being more for backup purposes.

Ammo: Enough to reload his weapons three times over can be found on various straps, pockets, and backpack.

Other: Pills he has to take once a day to keep his body from breaking down under the stress put on his system.

Bio

He was a soldier who underwent nanomachine testing, a glitch causing his lower body to be destroyed beyond repair, but they luckily managed to get it under control before it spread to most of his other systems. His magical capabilities were also somewhat spared, although reliant on the nanomachines to activate now and causing him great pain on occasion.

He went off the radar upon getting out of the hospital, becoming a mercenary of very high caliber who would take on any job if the price is right.

Combat Stats

Dominant Hand: Left

Equipment:

-Upper Body:

• Hellfire Armour - once thought to be a standard US-issue ballistic vest with plating, the body armour has since morphed into a fiery, ashen armoured regenerative vest, a mere visage of what it once was. It protects against most medium calibre bullets, but has a harder time stopping higher powered projectiles.

-Lower Body:

• Boots of Flame - these special combat boots are part of Luis' Flame Boost power; their soles easily combust and break away to allow his flame jets to burst forth. They also regenerate nearly instantly, but do little else.

Weapons

• Cuarenta (Forty)- What was once an M249 SAW is now a fire-spitting beast of death. Drawing upon daemonic powers, the machine gun's magazine no longer requires bullets, instead spitting a constant stream of hellfire bolts at Luis' enemies.
• Ira (Anger) - This Benelli M1014 shotgun is no longer a shotgun. It instead is an agony launcher, firing explosive shot or depositing pellets of distilled pain and fury into enemies, turning them into mindless killing machines that cannot tell friend from foe.
• Desierto (Desert) - What used to be an IMI Desert Eagle is now a heat-seeking bolt thrower. The bolts from this unholy pistol release ungodly amounts of heat when fired, drying up plant life, dirt or soil, superheating liquids, metals and solid structures and weakening them.
• Spada (Sword)- Luis' machete has been given a brain and a pair of eyes and a mouth, and now this foul blade reaps death in the battlefield, its bloodlust and power growing with each kill.

Abilities

• Super enhanced strength, endurance and stamina to nearly superhero levels.
• Enhanced speed and reflexes.

Magic

• Fire Form - By breaking free of his ashen flesh shell, Sanchez is able to turn his whole body and kit into an unstoppable raging fire, capable of swarming and engulfing small to medium-sized structures and turning everything into ash. Standing still and within his ashen shell, Fire Form renders him impervious to most basic projectile, penetrating or wounding attacks. When not in this form, he is mostly human. Sustaining Fire Form requires stamina, and though Sanchez is high on that, it's not infinite.
• Ashen Flesh - What encloses his heart of hellfire, Ashen Flesh is a passive magic that overtook Luis' entire body upon his death and resurrection. It converts his skin, muscle and bone into a hard, dense ash that protects his innards. This ash isn't impervious to his own internal fires; the light and bursts of flame that emanate from the tiny cracks within the ash are what enhances his aesthetic. The ash is strong enough to withstand basic non-powered attacks from any type of melee weapon, though not tough enough to withstand either powered attacks or bullets. Other projectile attacks that are magical, not gunpowder-powered, are dissipated or absorbed, unless the power levels are too high. It all depends.
• Flame Boost - By breaking holes in the soles of his feet, Luis is able to blow out jet streams of fire out his legs and effectively boost around like Iron Man. Flame Boost renders Luis capable of short-distance, sustainable flight, or long-distance ground travel.
• Unkillable - Being made of unquenchable fire means that Luis effectively cannot die, though like Cho before him, being injured greviously or to the point of death means that he has to spend a long period of time slowly regenerating his body and rekindling his flames.

Bio

Voice: Hard, crackly, as if he was talking through a fire.

Personality: Sanchez is very up-front, gung-ho and boisterous. Most that are asked to describe him say that he laughs in the face of danger, and most times it shows.

Backstory: Sanchez was a full blooded Spanish-American, born and raised in San Jose on the west coast. Not long after he hit the right age, he immediately requested to sign on with the army. After his basics, he was placed within an infantry battalion, one that was posted to fight the War on Terror. This was in 2003.

In 2006, his platoon came under fire from an enemy machine gun emplacement inside a building. Trapped across a road from the rest of his section, Sanchez took it upon himself to free the rest of his comrades from the suppression of hot lead. With only his LMG and shotgun, he charged at the building in question, daring and taunting the insurgents within to kill him. They put up a fight, but Sanchez beat them back, forcing the gunner away from his position by firing back. With his bravery and confidence under fire, it was then that Delta Force took notice.

Two years later, in 2008, Sanchez was part of a Delta Force squad that single-handedly took down a terror cell hiding in a remote desert base on the outskirts of Cairo. On their way home though, they were ambushed by insurgent raiders and subsequently trapped in an abandoned town. It was there that he and his squad fought not only insurgents, but something else entirely. Something not quite human.

The dark skinned, robotic humanoid that greeted their squad wiped out the insurgents in a fit of rage, then turned on the four operators with a fire unmatched by anything they'd ever seen before. The team was killed, one by one, until Sanchez was the only one alive. The man was burned to a cinder by his opponent's magical fire, left as a husk on the battlefield next to the corpses of his friends.

Thus the Darkness chose him to bear an eternal fire and turned him into the Reaper of War.

Just as in life, when a courageous fire burned within his heart that could not be quenched, so too in death he was given a fire, a flame that consumed his entire inner being and set him ablaze in a furious inferno.

When he awoke, he found his skin like hard ash, his flesh like cinders and his inner body a raging fire. His weapons were possessed by daemons, and yet they were strangely friendly with them.

And, in front of him, stood another man. A man made of shadow.

A friend.

A Reaper.

Others

Daemons

Much like Cho before him, Luis was bonded to four daemons after his experience with death. However, in accordance to the way he died, the daemons he was bonded with are vastly different to the ones Cho travels with.

Cuarenta

Cuarenta, or Ren for short, is a fire daemon. She resides in Luis' machine gun and, like Tac, is considered the de factor 'leader' amongst the four daemons with Luis. Her gentle and often understanding nature belies the cruelty and ruthlessness of her daemonic fire.

As Renny is a fire daemon, her powers and skillset are mainly devoted to fire; either causing it, spreading it, or imbuing it into his weapons and body.

Ira

Ira is a rage daemon, and he resides in Luis' shotgun. The youngest of the four, he doesn't let his inexperience stop him from unleashing fiery anger and unholy rage upon Luis' enemies.

Ira's skills and powerset passively augment Luis' combat and endurance abilities, bestowing upon him godly levels of endurance, healing and stamina, while enhancing his natural strength and speed.

Desierto

Desierto, or Des for short, is a heat daemon, and the main difference between her and Ren is that while Ren produces and manipulates fire, Des can make and manipulate heat. She resides within Luis' pistol, and she is commonly used as a precursor for stronger attacks from his other weapons. Though her usefulness is limited, it doesn't stop her from trying to be the best she can be.

With aggressive heat as the basis for her skill and powersets, Des is most often used as a combat starter, prepping the battlefield and targets so that his other weapons have the most effect when they come into play.

Spada

Spada is the oldest daemon of the lot, and is an elite daemon fighter and warrior. While he doesn't have any special abilities, he makes up for it by being Luis' main source of combat smarts in the field, guiding the one-man wrecking crew along when he's busy being an unstoppable killing machine. He resides within his machete, and is most at ease in the heat of battle.

Spada's entire skill and moveset rely upon Luis' instincts and close-quarters combat abilities. By constantly observing and analysing a fight or combat, he is able to give consistent, good advice, as well as being able to make any bladed attacks home in slightly on their target.
