My name? It’s been a while since I’ve gone by that, but these days a lot of people just call me Alcatraz. Don’t worry, I’m not as sinister as the name sounds it was just a squad thing a while back. See, I was a marine in the US military until an op went pretty damn bad, I’m still not completely sure what happened and people still refuse to tell me. I was used as a lab rat afterwards because I wasn’t expected to survive anyway. An experiment for what they called the ‘Nanosuit’ a bio-engineered suit of armour, attached to my DNA.
The suit increases a lot of my strength, speed, perception, dexterity and most other base attributes by a fair amount making me in general a lot stronger than a human being. But their were other… Adverse side-effects… My body started to fuse with the suit, it kept me alive, me and it became one being. I was imprisoned in this thing, the suit became my Alcatraz. With this pure link with the bio-engineering I could access more profound abilities that the suit offered me, suddenly I was accessing more than just computer data, I was finding bio-codes written in the molecules and particles of the Earth and it’s atmosphere. I learnt all about the demons, the OtherWorld and one more shocking fact.
My father had spent years as what they called an ‘Otherborn’ someone with unique abilities who helps to fight off the Demon’s in the world and suddenly I realised that the conflicts I’d fought in the military were nothing compared to what was really going on in the world. Using the strength and stealth of the Nanosuit I escaped from the secret compound I was held in and headed to a place called ‘Urbandelphia’ in the hopes of finding more Otherborn’s.
But enough about my past, let’s get down the details here. My appearance? Well, it’s a bit hard to explain what the suit looks like so it’d be best if you just took a look for yourself. I’ve already explained what the suit lets me do, but considering we’re on the details I’m seven feet tall thanks to the muscular enhancement by the suit which admittedly gives me a somewhat menacing appearance, especially when compared to those of an average or shorter than average height , twenty three years old, my face is probably the only thing that’s undamaged by my wounds so usually I’ll retract the mask, cover the rest of the suit in a big coat or something and blend in with the general public.
Personality wise? At first I was a really secluded, lone wolf sort of guy y’know? Keeping myself to myself and letting other people get on with their stuff in return for them letting me get on with mine. Over time that view’s changed, I see now that us Otherborn’s really do have to stick together and eventually through a friend that I had worked with in the past, I found my way into The Network, the group of Otherborn who loosely work together to hold back demon crossings.
