Backstory

name was abducted by Ares Corporation as a child. They noticed his potential as an Adept, and began experimenting. He was one of six such children entered into Ares’s BioAdept++ program, in which they attempted to find the optimal balance between cutting-edge bioware and Adept powers. During the anti-bug raid in Chicago, Ares put pressure on their Biology department to deliver something useful for the raid. In response, the Biology department decided that it was the perfect time to field-test the BioAdept++ program. Six young adults were sent in, and four returned to Ares. One of the BioAdepts was possessed by a bug spirit, and subsequently killed by name. Over the course of the raid, and due in no small part to the posession previously mentioned, name developed a deep-seated hatred for both bugs and bug-spirits. When the raid was drawing to a close, orders were received to capture several bug spirits and return them to Ares corporation for research. name, now somewhat traumatized by the whole experience, was not pleased with these orders. Still mourning the loss of his friend, he entered into an emotional rage, and slaughtered the bugs designated to be returned to Ares, and then ran off, disappearing into the shadows.

Appearance

The Hunter has muscled Satyr legs, with the rest of his features appearing Elven. He has medium-long straight black hair. His eyes are incredibly distinctive, featuring slices of different colors in the iris which vary in size according to whether he is using Low-Light vision, Thermal Vision, or regular vision (i.e. the slices not in use become slivers, and the slices in use expand to be quadrant sized). His pupils appear the normal black with a tinge of red and gold. He is moderately tall, and always seems calm, yet poised and ready.

Current Status/Mindset

The Hunter only recently was exposed to the outside world, and is still adjusting. Contrary to some, he views megacorporations abducting talented children as just a normal part of life, since that was all he knew for most of his childhood.
