Sure Fire F A S E R I P Res Pop Gd 10 Ex 20 Ty 6 Gd 10 Gd 10 Ex 20 Ex 20 Ex 20 Sh 0 Health: 46 Karma: 50 Origin: As are the vast, vast majority of his team-mates in the G.I. Joe group, David is naught but a normal human, lacking super human powers of any stripe, whether they be the result of an occult background, psionic education, genetic mutation, or even freak, normally-lethal happenstance. Known Powers: (none) Equipment: the Joe-Com *: this is a new device given to all Joes since the group's reactivation. This high-tech wristband functions as an audio/video transceiver with a Typical (6) - 250 mile - range, is equipped with a G.P.S. system, a heart monitor, and can store up to a terabyte of raw data - not bad, eh? Of course, this device also stores a variety of nutrients it can use to supplement activity, which are absorbed directly into one's pores (think of this as Feeble (2) life support, where food is concerned). So, not only is the thing a nice, high tech video phone, but it can also save one's life in a pinch! Non-Lethal Grenades: David carries two grenades on him at all times, strapped to his Kevlar vest. One is a concussion grenade, inflicting Remarkable (30) Force damage on anyone within its target area, the other being a tear gas canister, having a Stunning effect of like rank on those who breathe in its fumes. Protective Gear: useful in military and police applications, this gear has saved David's life numerous times. It consists of a Kevlar vest and a composite material helmet, both of which provide him Good (10) protection versus attacks aimed at his torso and head (not counting face shots). Semi-Automatic Pistols: David carries two handguns on him while on duty, one holstered on his leg, the other on his Kevlar vest. Either of these guns can be fired to inflict Typical (6) Shooting damage in a single shot, or Good (10) Shooting damage in a short, clip-expending burst of lead. Uzi 9mm: in addition to his twin handguns, David also carries a mini-Uzi hand cannon, which can function in a fully automatic capacity. It can be fired in a single shot to inflict Typical (6) Shooting damage in a single shot, +1 CS in a small spread, or +2 CS in a fully automatic hail of doom. * The Joe-Com is something that the Joes started using in their new (as of 2001) comic, but wasn't featured on the 2001 Sure Fire action figure. Quirks: (none) Talents: Detective / Espionage: having a keen eye for detail, David has developed his investigative abilities into a full-blown version of this talent. When investigating some crime or other activity, David should receive a +1 CS on any FEAT required for him to notice clues or other small, yet vital details. Law Enforcement: having a long background in law enforcement, David naturally has this talent. Not only does it include the Law and Guns talents as a general matter of course, it allows him to legally carry firearms at all times, as well as granting him the ability to make arrests. Martial Arts types B and C: having become a black belt in Shoto-Kan Karate-Do on his sixteenth birthday, David is well-versed in strikes, blocks, and dodges. As such, he receives a +1 CS on any unarmed melee strike, dodge attempt, grappling attack, or escape maneuver. Military / United States: while not initially military minded, David was recruited from the F.B.I. into the Joe team after he showed he could deal with Cobra operatives without backup. This talent describes his ability to understand military protocols and procedures, and offers him extra military contacts. Contacts: Though he's a newer recruit to the unit, and isn't mainly military in his mindset and/or thinking, David is a member of the G.I. Joe team, and as such he can rely on them for assistance should he need it. David also has numerous contacts in law enforcement circles (in the L.A.P.D. and F.B.I.). Costume: David wears a policeman-like field uniform while on the job. It primarily consists of a subdued blue pair of trousers and a collared, long-sleeved shirt, complemented with a black leather belt, black leather boots and gloves, black holsters and equipment pouches, black knee pads, and his black kevlar vest. Personality: David has a seemingly single-minded devotion to self-improvement, and otherwise doing things right; he figures he may as well do something correctly if he's going to bother doing so in the first place. He's also very aware of the world around him, a trait that helps him immensely in criminal investigations. Real Name: David S. Lane, grade O-5 Occupation: C.I.D. operative, former F.B.I. agent, former L.A.P.D. officer Legal Status: citizen of the United States with no known criminal record Marital Status: single Alias(es), if any: none Group Affiliation: G.I. Joe, formerly the F.B.I., formerly the L.A.P.D. Height: 5' 10" Hair: brown Eyes: brown Weight: 165 lbs. Other Distinguishing Characteristics: none Story: David grew up in a hopelessly decrepit neighborhood in Los Angeles, one that if you didn't know better, you'd swear it was in some war zone or another. Nonetheless, David didn't let this bring him down, and instead of descending into crime like his neighbors, he focused on getting out of there. He didn't do this by running away, though - oh no. Instead, David bent all of his will on making something of himself, making himself the best possible person he could be. To this end, he joined a martial arts dojo, and by the time he was sixteen, he'd managed his first Karate-Do black belt. His martial training awakened a sort of responsibility in the fellow, and as such David wound up joining the Los Angeles Police Academy, naturally graduating with honors. He even managed to make a few marksmanship records while there, using his focus to get really, really good at his police duties. He was a beat cop for a short time, but eventually wound up in the F.B.I. - hoping to put a real dent in crime. Hooking up with their special investigations unit, he encountered the web of crime woven throughout the United States by Cobra, that ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world. Managing to put the kibosh on some of their operations due to his keen eye for details, as well as his obstinate hatred for all things criminal, David got the attention of the G.I. Joe team, who recruited him into their ranks. After he completed his Army training, David began busting Cobra ops - this time with the Joes!
