-Username:The True Unknown One
-Name:Kryos Dusalox , AKA, ‘Shadowspawn’
-Faction:Troops of Shadow
-Age:31
-Biography:Kryos began as most thieves do, a young orphan. Both of his parents were killed in a factory accident, around the time he was 10. He refused to live in an orphanage, and was left as a street urchin. After barely scraping by with life as a beggar, Kryos turned to small time thievery. After marginally more success, Kryos continued to steal, turning to larger and larger crimes. He eventually got his hands on a Wrist-Com, and began pulling more virtual jobs. He would hack Virtual-locks on safes, and began to make a life for himself. He was never arrested, but was almost caught on several occasions.
Around the time he was 21, he had become quite the skilled thief. He met his partner from then on, Simon Likova, a half-Russian immigrant child whose parents were also killed when he was young. The two worked flawlessly, and eventually got their hands on blueprints for special suits, the ones that they had used since. Thankfully, Simon had connections to the underground, and they're suits were made for them, on the stipulation that they would work for the makers. They stole the pay for their suits, and went back to independent work.
After procuring enough to life comfortable lives, Simon decided that he would rebel against the corporation that killed his family, through horrible and dangerous working conditions, as well as carelessness. After much though, Kryos joined him. They worked together and continued to develop their bond as adopted-brothers, until Simon disappeared. He, to Kryos' knowledge, never made it out of a secure facility that they were raiding. Upon re-entry, Kryos only found The Viking, and has held onto it for this day. Kryos now fights to help the people see their strength, and to avenge his friend he believes has fallen.
His influence has grown, as has his connections. His bike, the Stradtler Valkyrie, was gifted unto him for services rendered to his underworld connection, a man named Nikolai. The VI installed in the bike, Sebastian, was created by Kryos, and named for a butler in an old book he had once read to the children of the orphanage that Kryos works at when hes incognito.He was also given a small 'Base', for other services rendered, in an old factory yard, hidden beneath a storage basement. He lives there, on most occasions.
-Personality:Kryos usually has a serious demeanor, but is not above small pranks and trickery on police, which he picked up from Duskwatcher. He likes to use hit and run tactics, not sticking around one area for too long, without good reason. When out on a job, the longer it takes, he believes, the longer you have to be caught. He has a long fuse when it comes to his temper, but it goes off with a bang, in or out of the Shadowspawn persona. He tries not to get involved with women on a relationship basis, but he has been known to woo the occasional one night stand.
Outside his Shadowspawn persona, Kryos is generally a respectful, and somewhat friendly person. His humble beginnings as a street urchin taught him a bit of humility, and he now works at a particular orphanage, named New Hope, to spend time with the children there. He teaches the children to read, among other things, like respect and dignity. He also teaches one other things, to respect the life of one another. Ironically, he is not above taking the life of a person who he views as corrupt, or that is a threat to him and what he believes in.
-Abilities:Hacking- From his humble beginnings of a street urchin, Kryos slowly built up his hacking abilities. He has seen, and most likely cracked, every major virtual security system that is available to the general public. He claims to be able to hack through any security system that he comes across, given a little time.
Programming– This ability stemmed from his Hacking abilities. After examining many different types of security systems, he was driven to make some of his own. From there, he went on to take up programming as both a hobby, and a side job. Sebastian, the VI that controls his Motorcycle, was designed by Kryos when he was around 29. He also came up the basic Camo-system programming for his suit and cloak, but not without help.
Stealth- This ability comes from being a ‘thief’ for around 20 years. Kryos has developed his skills in stealth through nothing but practice, more practice, and more practice. His steps, when on the job, are light and quick, and he has great balance. He sometimes, however, is somewhat unobservant of everything around him, which may lead to an alert from nearby guards or security systems.
Weaponry Creation- This is more of a hobby, than ability. True to his nature, Kryos develops his weapons off of stolen blueprints, as well as stolen materials. He has no original designs, unlike his supposed late partner Duskwatcher, who designed ‘The Viking’ with no reference.
-Weapon(s): Dual Laser Pistols – Nicknamed ‘Redemption’ and ‘Damnation’, these pistols are Shadowspawn’s main ranged weapons. They have a stun setting, which is used mainly to knockout targets with force, and the kill setting, with serve to do what the name suggests. The pistols were constructed by Shadowspawn himself.
The Viking – The name ‘The Viking’ was given to the gun by its maker. The multi-functional pistol had a unique setup. It has a single shot small to medium range grenade launcher, which can only be used once every few minutes due to instability, a laser aiming device, a flashlight, and a semi , three-shot burst, and automatic firing function for its 9mm bullets. It needs to be wielded, for any setting but the semi-firing mode, with two hands. This pistol was found by Shadowspawn, after going back into a facility that his now believed to be deceased, partner, Duskwatcher, never left. It hold many memories and it has enormous sentimental value. Shadowspawn is even willing to risk his life for this weapon.
Twin Daggers – These daggers yet to have been nicknamed, and are Shadowspawn’s only melee weapons. They are usually wielded backwards, blades pointing to the sides. The can be both punching and slashing weapons. They are coated with a special alloy that it’s maker claims can deflect small to medium power laser shots, though Shadowspawn has yet to see this firsthand. He is quite adept at using these blades.
The Railgun The Railgun was constructed by Shadowspawn and his old partner, from plans stolen from a secure facility. The gun can fire any projectile, at hypervelocity, that can fit into its large barrel. Shadowspawn, however, has a few specially crafted bullets for use with the Railgun. The Railgun is usually kept with Sebastian’s frame, and only used when absolutely necessary, due to its instability, and possible casualties to civilians.
-Appearance:KryosShadowspawn(Shadowspawn’s default armor color has recently been set to Jet Black, and is covered by his Mesh Cloak, explained in gadgets section)
-Gadgets:-Mesh Cloak, AKA, ‘Shadow Cloak’: A black cloak with a hood that has a special bullet-proof mesh substance that allows for free-movement, although the impact force is still somewhat felt. It also has the Camo-function of his suit,but requires a separate scan, and has the same span of time for the Camo-function.
Shadow Cloak [Specific to Shadowspawn]
-Camoflage-Function: Kryos' Shadowspawn suit has a function that allows it to take on the color pattern of whatever he scans with his Wrist-Com. This function, being under development, can only last around 15 minutes, before reverting back to Jet Black. It has a 50-60 minute recharge time for a full 15 minutes use. [Very Rare, but not exclusive. The only other thief known to have this 'gadget' is Duskwatcher.]
-Multi-function Goggles: A pair of goggles built into his armor, that have a binocular, nightvision, and thermal function. All with 3x zoom, save the binoculars, which can zoom up to 120x, but vision can get blurry at that distance, depending on the weather conditions. [uncommon]
-Glass Cutter: The standard glass cutter, for silent entry into a building. [Very Common]
-Grappling Gun: A large handgun-like device wielded in two hands. It fires a grappling hook effectively up to around 225ft, thanks to some slight modifications, and has special teeth that help it grip on almost any surface, for safety of the wielder. [The common version fires only 200ft.]
-Sticky-bombs: Small time bombs fired from a handgun-like device. Times can be adjusted, up to three hours. They create a small, localized explosion with decent force. Not enough to disable an armored vehicle, but enough to disable a civilian one. [Uncommon]
-Voice-altering-device: This small tool, built into his suit, will alter Kryos' voice to a set tone, varying form that of a deep-voiced demonic tone, to a high pitched, schoolgirl tone. [common]
-Other assorted tools of little consequence.
-Other: His call sign, and he keeps three of them on his at all times, are a specially-crafted dagger that he stabs into, or near, his primary target for each theft, sabotage, and so on. It has a small card, which reads, “Troops of Shadow” on it, in fancy lettering, something uncommon in this day and age.
ToS DaggerHe prays at his small base at a makeshift shrine every night/day after a ‘job’, for three things. The safe return of his partner, his own safety for the coming days, and that he finds proof every day that his actions are benefiting others, and his cause is just.
