"Shh..."
Name:Artour Sokoloff
Alias:Hush
Age:39
Gender:Male
Alignment:Freedom Fighters
Skills:Hush is a skilled sniper and demolitions expert. His specialization lies with long range assassinations and setting up explosive traps. This makes Hush a formidable foe when assaulting a base, as the entire base would have explosive traps set through out it.
Hush is also experienced with computers and close quarters combat. He can easily hack into low security computers, though someone who specializes in it would be able to hack into the computers faster. His close-quarters combat skill isn't something to mess with. Hush has a tendency to stab people in their necks to quiet them. This got him his name when he "accidentally" stabbed someone in the neck during Helios' training camp.
Hush can also stab people in the neck with a plastic knife.
Powers:Hush has no powers that he's aware of.
Equipment:Orlov .50
The Orlov .50 is a large sniper rifle that fires a large .50 caliber round at high speeds with brutal accuracy. The sniper only takes one round at a time. For that reason alone, Helios had phased out the Orlov with a completely different sniper.
Hush carries around Full-Metal-Jacket and Armour-Piercing rounds with him for his sniper rifle.KuznetsovThe Kuznetsov is a long blade made out of an experimental alloy. Due to its alloy and shape, the blade can easily stab through the weak parts of an armour. Also due to the shape, the blade can't chop through armour.Scavenged Armour
Hush had scavenged various parts for his armour. His helmet gives various tactical displays and it has a flashlight on the side of it. His chest-piece carries many rounds for the Orlov on it. The rest of his armour doesn't really do much, besides protect him."Cuttlefish"
The large cloak on Hush's back is Cuttlefish. Cuttlefish is a large cloak made out of an experimental fibre. It can self-repair given enough time (generally 3 days if almost completely destroyed, 4 hours for bullet holes) and recharges over time. It changes colour based on the surrounding location of Hush, making him nearly invisible when he stays still in prone. The cloak has one more special effect. The cloak can turn the user almost perfectly invisible for around 20 seconds. This expends all of Cuttlefish's energy, so it becomes unusable for the next few hours.Personality:Hush is pragmatic. He'll easily surrender if he has no escape option. He's rather unfazed by shooting other people. He offers large amounts of wisdom to other people, though most of this wisdom is rather enigmatic.
He often attacks people "for being too loud". He becomes extremely irrational when this loudness comes. Nobody knows what this loudness is, but it caused him to stab someone else in the throat.
History:Hush was born into a regular family in Arcadia. His father was a contractor for Helios. Hush felt the need to do the same, so he joined Helios when he was around 18. It was one of the training camps for their specialized guard. It was just another name for their private military.
Hush went through the camp with extreme ease. He had specialized in the explosives division. Every challenge, he completed. Every target, he hit. He was going to be one of Helios' specialists who were only called out for extreme missions. Emphasis on "going to be".
On the last day of the camp, they were all given plastic knives to practice close quarters combat. Hush heard a strange sound. It wasn't like anything he had ever heard. He didn't like this sound. The sound hurt him. The sound felt like a thousand needles entering his ear. Hush looked around, and realized where the sound came from. Hush stabbed the man next to him right in the neck. Everyone was shocked. Half because the usually calm Hush had a psychotic breakdown, the other half because he just stabbed some guy in the neck with a plastic knife meant not to stab people.
Hush would have been pardoned, except for the person he stabbed being a big shot of Helios' son. Hush was sent to be executed. They stabbed him many times. They cut deep into his flesh. They injected poison into him until his heart stopped beating. Finally, they threw him out into the harsh rocks of the mountain.
Something didn't want Hush to die. It was the noise. The noise woke Hush up again. It woke him up again and again. When he would die, the noise would wake him up. Hush just wanted the noise to stop. He stood up and began to walk in a single direction.
At the end of his walk, Hush saw a small facility. Right outside of the facility, Hush saw a man with a sniper rifle guarding it. Hush crept up behind him and placed his hands around the neck of the man. One of the noises stopped, but there was still more noise. Hush took the man's sniper rifle and entered the facility.
The facility was relatively unguarded. Anyone who entered faced the blunt trauma of a sniper rifle. With each death, Hush felt the sound getting quieter and quieter. It still persisted, though. Hush entered where the last room was. Inside were two scientists. One tried to press the alarm. Their head met with a large .50 caliber bullet. Hush went to go kill the other scientist, but the sound stopped.
There was no more sound. Hush could be in peace. His sense of reality set in and he realized that he needed to either kill the scientist or make them shut up. He picked up the scientist and shoved him into a locker. Hush went over to see what they were working on. A weird cloak and some sort of sword. Hush took them both with him. He grabbed a first aid kit and dressed his wounds.
While leaving, Hush realized he needed some sort of clothing to keep his identity secret. He stole various parts of the dead people's armour and he left. He walked for a long time. People assumed he was a specialist on patrol due to the way he looked, so they just ended up giving him free food and supplies. He ended up at the Emerald Coast. The people there also thought he was a specialist. A group of guerrillas kidnapped him and from there, Hush became a member of the Freedom Fighters.
Appearance:Hush stands at 5'11". Without his armour, he weighs around 175 pounds. His body is filled with scars and his face is the same.
Other:Viva la revolution.
