VRDET Character Profile: Forrest King


Birth Name: Michael King
Current Alias: MadForry
Registered as: Technician Forrest King, Verthandic Rangers
Age: Unknown, remaining human tissues give an approximation of 18 years.
Occupation: student/freelance programmer (before the accident)

Appearance:
      a cyborg. He has had his limbs and eyes replaced with experimental components as a result of an explosion rendering the human equivalents completely unusable. Other than these, the Technician is usually attired in civvies ("They're more comfortable than the stock uniform VRDET hands out." - MadForry)
      He always has his twin beta-blaster MK2's on him, as well as the remote for his space shuttle, 'Cerulean Dreams' ("My pride and joy." - MadForry) and a minimised JihadLinker that he built himself ("After the last one, I prefer having things I build myself." - er...you get the picture). On occasion, the Technician carries a tool-kit, various electronic components and a laptop computer in a backpack.

Skills:
      * extremely accurate aim of projectile weaponry (1/1e6 fail rate)
      * mechanics (for non-organic components of self and Cerulean Dreams)
      * basic training on handheld weaponry (swords, staves, fists etc.)
      * basic scientific practices (Chemistry, Physics)
      * basic spell-casting training (limited use)

History:
      "Originally pure-strain human, I joined the Jihad in 1997 as a lurker on the newsgroup. In 1998 I actively began my membership by joining the Verthandic Rangers, and since then I have contributed my better ideas, in particular the original beta-blaster to R&D. More recently I have completed the design and construction of the beta-blaster MK2, and of my space shuttle, Cerulean Dreams."
      "Recently, I was almost killed by a suspected B'harn terrorist act involving a remote-controlled explosive put in a Jihad-Linker I had received. This resulted in my becoming a cyborg, because my eyes and limbs were unable to be recovered. Henceforth, I have recovered from the ruins of my former home, my starship Cerulean Dreams, as well as my two beta-blaster MK2's. The rest is modern history."

Commonly Used Phrases:
      * "Riiight."
      * "Hmm... let's see here."
      * "Don't make me kill you."
      * "It's not retreating, it's merely a strategic advance in the opposite direction!"
      * "That's it, now I'm _really_ PISSED OFF!"
      * "I thought I fixed that bug."
      * "Pie Iesu Domine, Dona Eis Requiem *BONK*"

Personality:
      MadForry, in the core of his being, is technology driven. He tries to be social around other beings, with some degree of success, but prefers the company of computers, and in particular Scyberion, the Artificial Intelligence construct of his ship Cerulean Dreams. A fanatic of the Cause(TM), he does not hesitate to kill minions of the HellWyrm, and it takes great willpower for him not to do so.
      Those who do befriend MadForry gain a lifetime friend and ally. This bond between MadForry and his friends has formed into a lifetime alliance, by which MadForry adheres to; given the opportunity, he would give his life for his friends.
