Ambush F A S E R I P Res Pop Gd 10 Ex 20 Ty 6 Gd 10 Gd 10 Rm 30 Ex 20 Ex 20 Sh 0 Health: 46 Karma: 60 Origin: Like the rest of the G.I. Joe team (with few exceptions), Aaron is a completely normal human, lacking ascendant powers of any stripe. He was never bitten by a radioactive animal, doesn't possess beneficial mutations that would attract giant robots, and he definitely has no occult background. Known Powers: (none) Equipment: Grenades: Aaron carries a bevy of grenades with him while on the job. His miniature arsenal includes fragmentary grenades (to inflict Edged Attack damage), tear gas grenades (to inflict Stunning damage), and smoke grenades (to provide obfuscation). These all work at Remarkable (30) rank. Helmet: Aaron usually wears one of these in the field. This armor plated head gear helps to keep the man alive, whether he's stalking Cobras or wild beasts. Aaron's helmet provides him Good (10) protection against head-based attacks (as long as they don't strike him in the face, of course). Knife: since he often needs to cut things in the field, Aaron carries a knife on him at all times - sometimes, more than one (just depends on how hostile his environs are). These blades are of Incredible (40) m.s., can cut through items of like m.s., and let Aaron inflict Edged Attack damage in melee. Machine Gun: his primary martial implement, this two-handed hand cannon can be fired to lethal effect against most anything - human, reptile, or whatever. It may fire a single shot to inflict Typical (6) Shooting damage, a short burst for +1 CS damage, or even a full-auto spread for +2 CS damage. This weapon has a 'scope mounted on top, allowing Aaron a +1 CS to hit in ambush (heheh) situations. Semi-Automatic Pistol: a handy back-up should all his other weaponry fail, Aaron keeps this firearm holstered and ready... just in case. In combat, he can fire this weapon to inflict Typical (6) Shooting damage in a single shot, or Good (10) Shooting damage in a clip-exhausting hail of lead. Tent: useful for sleeping in the field without being eaten alive by bugs (or other, much larger animals), this small tent is also used by Aaron in his camouflage work. The material and poles used to construct it are of earthy colors, and allow his sleeping form to blend in in most any environment. Quirks: (none) Talents: Guns: one skill gained thanks to his Army basic training, this talent describes Aaron's ability to fire most any firearm when necessary. Whether it be a standard, semi-automatic, or fully automatic rifle or pistol, or even a tranquilizer gun, Aaron may use a firearm at his Agy +1 CS. Martial Arts type B: the other skill that Aaron acquired in Army basic, this talent represents his ability to defend himself unarmed, should he need to. Whether he wishes to punch, kick, elbow smash, head butt, knee drop, or even gnaw on a foe, Aaron may attempt to do so at his Ftg rank +1 CS. Military / United States: the ultimate source of all his non-sneaky skills, this talent acts as a handy 'background' element for Aaron. It describes his instinctual understanding of military protocols and procedures, and offers him several additional military contacts. Stealth: Aaron has always been sneaky - ever since he was a wee youth. He has the ability to render himself completely silent, and knows how to camouflage his body so he cannot be easily seen. In order to detect him, one must pass an Intuition FEAT roll versus Aaron's Agy +1 CS (Remarkable (30)). Contacts: As a member of the elite G.I. Joe team, Aaron is recognized as one of the best of the best in his line of work. As such, when he requires assistance on a mission, his fellow Joes are more than happy to lend it, for such aid is never requested lightly. Furthermore, Aaron has several additional military contacts. Costume: Aaron's first G.I. Joe field uniform consists of khaki trousers with brown camo dyed on, a brown, long-sleeved shirt under a collared, short-sleeved khaki shirt with brown camo dyed on, black leather boots, a green leather belt, a green bandolier chock full of grenades, and various holsters, sheathes, and pouches. Personality: Aaron is evasive by his very nature, tending to keep to himself. At the same time, he's rather tenacious, and will do just about anything to get what he wants. This makes for one rather unpredictable individual, and he tends to surprise people at times when pulling some stunt or another on the job. Real Name: Aaron McMahon, grade E-3 Occupation: camouflage specialist 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 Height: 5' 11" Hair: light brown Eyes: blue Weight: 180 lbs. Other Distinguishing Characteristics: Aaron wears a rather large moustache, one that is connected to his equally large side burns by a beard that does not, in fact, cover his chin. Story: Aaron is the kind of guy that slips through the cracks. It's not that he's intentionally sneaky so much as he's just one of those quiet, evasive types that aren't all that sociable. Of course, he is good at concealing himself, and when he decides to do so, you can almost never find him. For instance, when he was ten years old, the guy vanished from his home for three weeks, and was only found after the National Guard finally rooted out his well-camouflaged hiding place under his parents' front porch. As you can guess, when he enlisted in the Army, he became a concealment specialist. His natural skills, honed by Army training, have made the man one of the hardest to find people when he wishes to disappear. He can use common items to disguise himself easily, and when he's got actual camo paint and covert materials at hand, the man can vanish without a trace. While being closer than you would imagine... His overwhelming skill in this area naturally got him noticed by his superiors, who eventually recommended him for a position on the G.I. Joe team; they didn't mind losing him since they could never find him anyway. Aaron quickly found that he enjoyed working with this elite unit of fighting men and women. He is so good at what he does, in fact, that he was paired up with Low-Light when the G.I. Joe team found it necessary to clean up some bizarre experiments on Cobra Island that resulted in dinosaurs (!) roaming around the place. His and Low-Light's skills were natural complements, after all. While he truly loved his job, Aaron couldn't keep it forever, for the G.I. Joe team was eventually disbanded when the government decided that Cobra could be handled by conventional military forces... whoops. Should the Joe team require Aaron's skills, he would likely jump at the chance to rejoin them!
