Please use a picture that could be found on official documents (if possible). I understand this isn't always possible so I'm not going to be too strict here. If there are multiple pictures of the same character and one fits better, but you prefer another then there is a space blow where you can use the picture you would prefer. This should go without saying, but try to make the picture taller than it is wide. There are also optional categories. If you do not wish to fill them out then simply delete them. Instead of age I have elected to put "standard age" in place. This takes the average lifespan of your race and breaks it down by one hundred, so birth is still 0, but the average age of death for your race is 100. Because of this you may feel the need to break your age down with fractions or decimal points, so feel free. You do not need to finish your bio immediately. Once you are at the point of joining the mercenaries stop and I will invite you to a private message where we can discuss how you joined. When this is done everyone can edit it into their CS. To use this format, press reply, and delete everything before [h*] and after [/accordion*].

Gender: Male
- Personality

Personality: Dex is often described as a bit obsessive. He gives his full attention to his projects, leaving him a bit hostile towards those who interrupt. Otherwise Dex is usually quiet. He is friendly enough with those he trusts, but still does not speak too often. He does not always understand sarcasm and is very literal himself.
Bio: Dex does not remember his early life. Beyond a few fragments, his first memories are waking up in a bio-technical institution. He was told there was an accident and he would die without his cybernetic implants. His right hand was missing entirely and his nerves were only working because of the technology now implanted in his body. As he recovered he discovered he is slightly faster and stronger than the others around himself. He felt like he was being tested more than led along a path to recovery, so he began digging. It turns out the people who made him a cyborg are private military contractors and they are attempting to make super soldiers though cybernetic implants. He now had to question everything he knew and fled as soon as possible out of self preservation. During his research he discovered that, while the scientists called him Gamma, he was the third iteration of the Dex program. The previous two had died after rejecting further implants.
He found his way to a well populated planet and found work as a mechanics assistant. Here he learned much of his skill. He grew quite skilled and began modifying his own implants. While his mentor felt confident that Dex was capable enough to take on the business after he retired, Dex had doubts. He was horrifyingly disfigured and had to hide in back out of public eye. Besides, the company that made him was probably still looking for him and he couldn't risk that. Instead he worked to buy his own ship. It was a small ship to begin with, but if he could do some jobs on the side as well as keep up his current one then he could get a real one. After 9 planetary years he left to work as a mercenary. He had built his first suit, so no one could turn him down for his disfigured appearance. As he worked as a mercenary he learned it wasn't really needed in this line of work, but he still feels self conscious and refuses to take off his mask. While not his intention, he picked up various crew mates along the way, giving them each a private room to use. - Skills

Dex is a genius mechanic. He maintains the ship and tries to keep it in peak condition. Beyond that, he tinkers with just about any piece of technology he can get his hands on. He has upgraded his own suit many times over and has specialized his crew's technology. While not as amazing as he is with building tech, he is pretty good at hacking it. His hacking skills are formidable, but he is far from the best. He is also an expert pilot. He owns the Nexus and spends the most time piloting it, especially if there is special maneuvering that needs to be done. Beyond that, he is an expert flyer in his suit. He is pretty good at melee combat, but that is only so useful.
He is not the best as stealth. His suit is far from clunky, but it is not quiet or discrete. He is also not a great marksman. He carries guns with him like most, but can greatly improve his aim. - Gear

Much of his suit is actually built into his body. He designed the rest to work with the preexisting parts. His mind has direct access to the suit to control it, though there is still an interface on his left forearm. He uses his suit to directly access other computers. It also has it's own system that he uses to help him. The large visor on his helmet allows him to visualize problems, such as maps and blueprints. The suit contains a few hidden weapons that he uses in tight situations. His hands can also produce tools to help him build.
His favorite addition to his suit is the wings. They fold up neatly on his back, but can extend to give him flight in space, the sky, and even water. He has proven an expert at maneuvering with them.There is nothing special about his pistols. They shoot plasma capsules like most. They can be automatically reloaded by his suit.
Dex dual wields homemade energy swords. In an age where guns rightfully rule combat they aren't overly useful, but he's proud of them none the less. The do also have some practicality with their ability to cut through most materials and almost all metals.He can generate an energy shield from either arm. These can be manipulated in both size and shape. In extreme cases he can expend extra power to create a complete bubble around himself.Since Dex is constantly building he ends up with a few miscellaneous pieces of equipment. This includes, but is not limited to, graviton grenades, repulsion grenades, VR Charges, actual grenades, and scouting bots.The Nexus is the name of the ship. While he has no problem letting his teammates live in the ship with him, it is still his. For a bit of scale, the front section of the ship is the cockpit. The rest is used for living and ship necessities. - Role with Crew

Mechanic/Pilot
While he owns and flies the Nexus, he is not the leader of the group. - Other
- His full name is Dex III, but he dislikes the second part.He can remove much of his suit, but some does not come off. The bottom part of his helmet can be removed to eat, revealing a heavily scarred human-looking mouth. The rest of his helmet can be removed as well, but he only does so for repairs or upgrades and never in the presence of another being. Due to how much he relies on his cybernetic implants, he has installed a back up system in the event the main system fails (such as an EMP). This system is resistant to electromagnetic pulses and only runs critical systems.
