((Character forthcoming.))
Name: Johnathan "Shaav" Hunter
Race: Bioengineered Human-Deathclaw
Class: Lone Claw (Loner with a twist)
Age: 42
Gear: Johnathan carries the standard 9mm pistol, which appears to be splattered with blood, and a combat knife, each serrated tooth on the blade looking to be an actual tooth of some creature. He also has in his possession a skin tight body suit that has been... modified to his certain needs, as well as aMP-5 Submachine gun. (he doesn't have the goggles for a reason)
Abilities: Johnathan is an interesting fellow. Aside from having extremely increased physical attributes, he's also a killing machine. Give him a knife and everyone is dead. Better yet, get him his chemical accelerants or piss him off and he won't even need the knife! Extreme emotion can trigger a hange between Johnathan and Shaav. Shaav can be seen below. Aside from this Johnathan has begun training to shift between these forms of his own accord, without the use of chemicals, emotion, or time. This also gives his the ability to slightly change his internal structure so as to reduce internal bleeding or extend his reach, etc. In his Deathclaw form he has a nasty bite, not to mention deadly horns upon his head and snout and razor sharp claws, as well as a strong tail. When a deathclaw he can move almost silently and with great speed, possessing extreme constitution dexterity and physical strength.
Physical Desription: (Shaav is below, but more red-ish) Johnathan stands at an impressive 6'7" in his human form, with a rather large frame. While in his human form he was long crimson hair that trails down to the small of his back, and in either form he has deep blood red eyes that always have a look of concentration about them. He prefers to wear his stealth suit with special shoes that are made to break apart if he needs to change and then snap back together in a flash. When not trying to be completely stealthy, and only in human form, Johnathan wears a long tan trenchcoat that has a metal plate woven into the back bearing a sword, pointed upwards, and three gears encompassed by two wings.
Background: War. War never changes. Secret sects of the Western Brotherhood sought ways to lengthen the life of their slowly dwindling numbers and increase their chances of survival. This resulted in the Vault 13 Memorial Project. Certain individuals were chosen for this project and subjected to intense physical situations and brutal conditioning. Those that survived were given the rank of Knight Commander, with a curse. After achieving their rnak they were stolen away and subjected to medical procedures that resulted in the Brothers of Death. These Brothers, and Sister, gained the traits of a Deathclaw, though remaining human. The project was thought to be a success, but as always, nothing is certain in the Wastes. The Brothers of Death performed exceedingly well, until one day Talon squad reported an unstoppable force of Deathclaws ripping them apart. The Brothers of Death were called in to aid them, but they never arrived, better yet, they already had. Johnathan Hunter was among these Brothers, and the only one to return to the Brotherhood. There he was dishonored, though the Elders looked favorably upon his devotion as a Brother of Steel, through and through, granting him a small supply of chemicals to help ease the transition between forms, or halt it temporarily. So he left out into the Wastes, the greatest hero of the Brotherhood, thrown into dishonor and banishment by his demon within.
The exact details of his coming to Nite City are sketchy, at best, those times were ruled by Deathclaw instincts for Johnathan. The only reason he stays is because he hopes he can find some solace in a grand city where technology can be found that rivals the Brotherhood, a grim reminder of his past.
Johnathan remains ever loyal to his forgotten Brothers; Brothers of Death and of Steel. He retains the rigid militaristic thinking that got him through Initiation and beyond to rise through the ranks to Knight, the Knight Commander promotion meaning little to him. Rank in general means everything to him, its a structure for living, and as he is a Knight Commander, he outranks every last civilian in Nite city.
In the few moments of shifting from Human to Deathclaw Shaav will be complete deathclaw, instinct and all. It'd be wise to steer clear of him during these few short moment.
