• Name: Falk Fukuzawa
• Age: 18
• Gender: Male
• Class: Gunner
• Nationality: Japanese
• Appearance: Though male, Falk is strikingly beautiful. He has sky-blue eyes, soft, golden hair that he let's the wind style, and an arresting smile. He’s tall, at 6’2, with a slender, yet toned build. He weighs 180 pounds.
• Bio: Falk is a very laid-back, easygoing person. He's good natured, friendly and very outgoing. He likes making people feel like they belong, so if he's in a group and sees someone who looks lonely he's liable to try to bring them in. A bit overconfident sometimes, and definitely a prankster gangster. While otherwise a fairly kind person, he harbors a deep hatred towards the invaders, and is very ruthless towards them.
Falk is half-American, half-Japanese. His father, Isamu, and mother, Karen were both soldiers, though his father died when he was very young. His mother was in his life, but this was during the invasions, so she was away most of the time. He spent roughly half of his childhood living in America with his Uncle Larry. Uncle Larry was not very responsible, leading Falk to grow up to be a very independent young man.
He was about 16 when his mom left for battle for the last time. Before that, Falk had been very ambivalent about becoming a soldier due to the risk of dying. But he hopes to find catharsis in destruction of the alien menace.
• Armament: XXXplosive: Falk brings to bear an array of bombs in battle. He keeps them in a belt with pockets around his waist. He keeps 8 of each type on him. When unarmed, each one is about the size of a grape. By squeezing them, he makes them expand to the size of a baseball. He can control when they go off by the number of times he squeezes them. He can set them to detonate as soon as they hit something, after a few seconds, or remotely detonate them using a console on his gauntlet. He has different types of bombs, distinguished by color. Falk is a capable pitcher and very strong, so he can throw them up to 100 feet. He also has a launcher for them in his gauntlet that lets him fire them 300 feet, but loading them into it is slower than just throwing them.
- Red ones are standard grenades. They explode with enough force to fell a tree or total a car or kill a person. The explosion itself is energy-type, but it will likely create physical-type shrapnel.
- White ones are fire suppressant bombs. Instead of exploding, they shoot a massive amount of white foam that extinguishes most fires.
- Blue ones are smoke bombs. When thrown, they spew a massive amount of blue smoke. Not only is it nearly impossible to see in, it causes tearing and coughing fits to those who breathe it in.
- Purple bombs are concussive grenades. The explosion created will throw things pretty far, but otherwise has very little destructive power. Can send a 180 pound man flying distances of over 50 feet!
- Pink ones are satchel charges. When armed, they stick to things. They are designed for demolition, so while their blast is much smaller than that of the others, it is also very powerful, able to blow holes in tank armor.
- Light-green glow-in-the-dark ones are glowing fluid bombs. They spray out massive amounts of glowing green fluid. It's non-toxic but has a bitterant so don't eat it. It glows brightly in the dark, making it very difficult for anyone caught in the blast to hide.
• Psychic Drive: Super String: Falk can cause psychically-manifested strings to shoot from his hands. He points with one of his fingers, and a string shoots out, sticking to the object. If he points the same finger at a different object, the other end of the string will shoot out, tethering the two objects together. He can cause the strings to contract or expand in length by moving the associated finger. He can create up to 8 strings at a time, one for each finger (His thumbs are used for dismissing individual strings.) The strings can not be broken by stretching them. However, the objects they are attached to can be broken. A sharp object such as knives or scissors can cut through them easily, though. He can control the thickness of the strings at creation, ranging from as wide as fishing line to about as wide as a pencil. This has no effect on the string's durability, however.
• Extra: His auxiliary equipment includes an armored helmet with a filter that protects him from poison gas and other irritants. Also provides eye protection and has built-in heat vision. His boots have a pair of retractable in-line skates, which he uses in conjunction with his strings and Gunner reflexes to shred furiously. It should be noted that Falk is a prankster gangster so watch out for his shenanigans. He's very tricky sometimes.
• Sample Post: The wind screeched past Falk's ears as he swung between the buildings of Neo-Kyot0, luggage under his arm. At the crescendo of his swing, he cut the string, sending him flying. There was a split, gut-wrenching second where he started to fall, down, down, down, closer and closer to the traffic and hard pavement before. Then, he shot out another string, and with a jerk, he was sent swinging up into the air.
Ever since acquiring his Drive, he'd been practicing nonstop with it. He'd quickly learned his limits, and was intent on trying to break them. After the train had dropped him off, he'd gotten to the top of the highest building he could find and started web-zipping through it. It wasn't long before the Academy came into view. He stretched his string out, hitting the ground and transitioning smoothly into a walk. As he stood at the gates, he gazed upon it with his sky-blue eyes. He was going to follow in his parents footsteps and become a defender of earth.
