SHADOWS ANGELUS IV

Background/History: Designed by the Nano-Helix Corporation, Jaden is a vulpine Clade whose existence and creation is considered classified by the company that made him. This is because he’s an experimental design, with samples of the nano-plague of 2122 fully fused with his molecular composition. While kept under tightly-controlled conditions by Nano-Helix, Jaden was still able to escape from their hold through the use of his nano-plague technopathic powers. While doing so, he managed to destroy and/or delete most, if not all, of their information on that project that created him. Unfortunately for Jaden, while he was now free, he was also alone in the vast city of Angelus, with no one to mentor or teach him in the ways of the world.

In order to survive on the streets of Angelus, Jaden adopted the ways of the other squatters, transients, and dispossessed that lived in the city’s side streets, shadows, steam tunnels, and sewers. His innate technopathic powers also allowed him to hack the ever present computer system around him, allowing Jaden to generate income by traveling about Angelus, stealing bits of data that seemed interesting, and then selling it to whomever was willing to pay. However, this rather lucrative career of data-theft eventually resulted in Jaden coming face-to-face with an Entity.

The encounter left Jaden feeling changed. He now found himself questioning the world around him and pondering its seemingly impossible truths. The only people who seemed to be able to apply any logic and reason to all of this chaos was the officers of XSWAT, who Jaden had watched destroy the Entity that had almost done him in. Deciding it was necessary to take advantage of XSWAT’s answers to questions he wanted to ask, Jaden altered certain computer records in order to submit himself to the XSWAT Academy in hopes of joining the force.

Personality/Motivation: The Spock. Captain Obvious.

Quote: "To see the gentle be so cruel, the cruel be filled with compassion, and the compassionate to be so selectively ignorant to all that is around them. That is what humanity is to me, an intriguing collection of unknowns.”

Powers/Tactics: Hacker and drone controller. A field support officer with the ability to assist others via quick mathematical calculations, field surveillance, and logistics. His ability to help with weapon modifications can change the tide of battle for the better of his team.

Campaign Use: Technopath, drone rigger and weapons smith.

Appearance: Jaden stands 5’3” (5’4” if you count his ears). He’s a vulpine-based Clade, with hair and fur coloration following the patterns common to a cross fox. His face is mostly black, with tufts or brown fur accenting his facial features. His tail is thick, bushy, white-tipped, and reaches from the end of his spine to nearly shoulder-height. When on duty, he wears the normal XSWAT uniform. Off duty he tends to wear casual dress clothes, often accented with a vest.

Hobbies: Jaden enjoys music in neatly all of its varieties. He’s also taken up knitting, enjoying its simplicity as an art form, but also likening it to binary coding. Of course, he also appreciates its practical uses for street wear and as gifts. He also enjoys dancing, having taken the time to teach himself the basics through observation of online media.
