Name: Cross Brightside
Alias: Omega
Age: 34
Race: Dark Elf
Appearance: Tall and athletic. He has dark brown eyes, light brown hair, and a few scars across his face from his dealings with very powerful supernatural creatures. One across his eye, another across his nose. He also has two on his back and one across his chest. His light blue skin conveys that his family's heritage. Being rather well off, it never delved into the darker purples, yet didn't lay full on itself enough to become a light pinkish hue. The Brightside family doesn't appreciate slackers.
Personality: Adventurous, open minded, cynical. Cross looks at things from the opposite prospective of whoever else is looking at it at the time. Always one to call fault on others, he does tend to give good advice. Most of the time he gives advice to those who will not listen, knowing so in advance. Those he believes would listen to his advice, he'd rather leave to their own devices instead of trying to forge a path for them.
Equipment:
Bladed Gauntlet
A rough gauntlet with a Damascus blade moving up the forearm. It folds flat for concealment, but can be whipped open with a quick motion of the forearm. Once clicked in place it will stay until unlatched and pressed down once more. Useful for defense and quick assault. Kept on his left hand.
Wrist Crossbow
A miniature crossbow mounted on the wrist. The arms lay flat on the sides until propped open. Cross is experienced enough to be able to open it without trouble in under a second, even if it is concealed. It can contain a maximum of three miniature bolts which can be fired in rapid succession through a firing mechanism on the same hand (the right) and can be reloaded by clicking a new bolt into the chamber. Cross maintains as many rounds as he can in a thigh mounted pouch.
Stake belt
A collection of stakes wrapped around crosses upper body. Some are filled with gunpowder and are explosive on contact. Others are not. Cross is knows which are and which aren't and rarely uses up all of his stakes in combat. He has a tendency to retrieve used stakes quickly and efficiently to ensure he doesn't run dry.
Other Equipment
Cross usually carries more than his usual armaments into the field. What this may be can range from a .50 magnum, to a demonic bow, to maybe a Seraph's sword. The weapons he stocks his home with are numerous and with him knowing the location and use of all of them, one would be a fool to attack him there.
Abnormal Abilities:
Physical Attributes
Cross is a strong, able bodied dark elf. While most of his kind rely on magic of some sort to help them get by, Cross does not. His speed, dexterity and strength are beyond human level, as they should be, not being human. His eyesight and reflexes have been honed through his years of conflict to respond to stimuli and information unlike any other.
Fluent in Body Language
He may not be able to dodge a random bullet, but he can figure through muscle movement of his opponent where he'll pull the trigger and thus where the bullet will go. In long range combat, Cross proves himself a very hard target, and in close range, he can wrestle enemies into submission with redirection and counters.
Weapon Mastery
Though his life wasn't as filled with turmoil as it is now, as early as his first job, Cross was learning how to master weapons. Through his career he has handled and learned to use, very quickly, a large variety of weapons. Through this he has gotten a knack for learning how to use weapons properly and has amassed a collection of tools of destruction that he's stolen, used to great effect, and discarded in his home.
History:
Cross was born into a wealthy family. He lived in a high priced loft in Durem with his mother and was given a taste of the sweet life. His father, always the busy man, but never the neglegent father, sent him to the poorest public school he could find, to make sure his son knew life wasn't rainbows and sunshine.
With the gift of money, a minority race, and a populace of people all ready to kill each other, Cross soon learned to defend himself. Sooner than that, he learned how to arms deal. With kids knowing he possessed weaponry and money, people soon learned he was not someone to mess with.
After some time in juvie was cleared up, and he was out of high school, Cross joined up with G-Corp security. There he learned how to deal with creatures beyond comprehension and handle objectives most people would handle by barricading behind a supermarket and a shotgun.
Eventually he resigned and was scouted by a powerful vampire hunter. Quickly rising as a slayer of the bloodsuckers, he turned his attention towards other supernatural creatures and expanded his portfolio.
Eventually a call to go help out a militia led to a meeting with a young elven soldier. The two eventually became friends and business partners from that day forth, helping each other in whichever way possible.
Now Cross stands as a proud vampire hunter with a storied life and a few good friends who came out of it. He hopes to make the next few chapters of his life as eventful as the ones that came before it.
