Name:
Ashwin Shipbreaker
Sex:
Male
Background:
Ashwin was a Vat Grown Supersoldier created as part of a far flung Midwood dictatorships efforts to enforce its fascist ideals across the stars. After a harsh training as a child soldier, Ashwin was deployed as part of The Regime's elite Shipbreaker corps, used as little more than biological munitions for naval combat across the stars.
In spite of the extreme likelihood of horrific death, Ashwin survived all the challenges that his forced service required of him, and eventually was stolen from the Military for use by the Political Protection Program, where he had been force-fed Luciferium in order to ensure his absolute loyalty to the Program.
After many years massacring Dissidents in both the Civilian and Military Sectors, he was finally deemed Politically Secure enough to risk an extrasolar deployment to the Rimworlds, to seek out and claim an Archotech artifact rumored to be able to produce Luciferium far more efficiently than any non-archotech could possibly dream of.
After many months of harsh struggle and gratuitous violence against all who could threaten him, the Relic was finally secured. But a chance encounter with a mysterious portal gave him the opportunity that he no longer dreamed of: a chance for Self-determination, and freedom from the Regime that has done nothing but abuse and misuse him, and he does the only thing he could've done at that moment, and jumped into it.
Abilities:
Bionic Suite-
Implanted with the very best Bionics possible from an early age, Ashwin is 50% better than Peak Human under Baseline conditions. In addition to this, he is implanted with a set of Toxin Fangs, allowing him a final, last ditch attack of moderate chemical potency, should it be necessary.
(Basically, he has all possible Bionics and Implants from Baseline Rimworld, as well as any Royalty ones that are not susceptible to EMP attacks,)
Survival Training-
Ashwin is highly capable in the realm of primitive survival behind enemy lines, able to rapidly construct shelter and forage for food.
In addition to this, he is also deeply skill in trap manufacturing and improvised explosive construction, allowing him to effectively wage a single man guerrilla campaign against unprepared enemies.
Adequate Chef-
Ashwin is a perfectly acceptable cook, able to produce Simple Meals, Packaged Survival Meals, and Pemmican.
Green Thumb-
Through long experience tending to and cultivating plants, Ashwin has become competent enough to knownhow to grow most common Rimworld varieties.
Elite CQC Training-
He is trained in the myriad means of a man to murder many with the multitude implements of massacre. He is by no means the match of a Master who has spen their life studying the blade, but even by the harshest of standards, he is an above average wielder of whatever weapon he can get his hands on.
Psychically Deaf-
Ashwin was specifically gestated for his inability to interact with Psycast Abilities, making him immune to most things which would have a Baseline under its influence, (such as Psychic Drones,) and when combined with his Bionics and the Cataphract's own sensors, will even allow him to detect and engage that which is attempting to hide from his sight.
Inventory:
Zeushammer-
A Large Warhammer that crackles with arcs of electricity. Originally designed to fight against the Mechanoid Menace, it has found a new lease on life as an effective less lethal weapon against organic targets.
Mono-sword-
An advanced bladed weapon forged with a ridiculously sharp edge, it is incredibly potent against unarmed beings, though an equivalently advanced set of armor can render it nigh useless.
Cataphract Armor-
A large, heavy, and robust set of Armor designed for extreme risk environments by militaries across the known galaxy. Its advanced materials and systems make it easier to move around in than it would appear, while also making it some of the most protective suits money can acquire. To further this, it also doubles as a standard HAZMAT/Radiological protective suit, and can even be temporarily sealed off from its environment for use in the depths of space, though it is no replacement for a true EVA Suit.
1x Luciferium Synthesizer (and 1x Luciferium)-
Lucifierium, known by many names across the Known Galaxy, "Martyr's Blood", "Deathwish Powder", "One Week Superhero", is an incredibly capable broad spectrum combat drug that greatly enhances one's physiological abilities, (as well as, counterintuitively, the capabilities of one's bionics,) at the cost of being permanently reliant on the substance to continue functioning.
Ashwin was sent to secure an unknown artifact capable of efficiently producing Luciferium doses, and was Transported while the Artifact was still in his possession, though the exact process is unknown, when an individual inputs a sufficient amount of biological mass into the device, it will input a single Dose of Luciferium, per Local Day.
1x Survival Kit-
A kit full of everything from water filtration units, portable heating elements, and emergency tools. With the proper training and knowledge, it is said that one could even boot strap themselves into the Space Age from one of these kits.
300x Silver-
A generic unit of Currency created by the Archotechs for trade between interstellar civilizations and universally accepted by any that can recognize its value.
10x Packaged Survival Meals-
The Packaged Survival Meal is a staple of both Survivalist and Military, providing all the nutrition you need from a meal, while also being completely stable for storage so long as the exterior casing dues not degrade or get otherwise damaged.
5x Herbal Medicine and Healroot Seeds-
A strange plant cultivated and domesticated by Mankind for its healing properties, Healroot grows relatively slowly in comparison to most commonly farmed plants.
Ashwin has collected a small supply of Herbal Medicine, in order to immediately deal with most injuries he might suffer, since between the Healroot, Lucifierium and Bionic implants, most any non-immediately lethal injury can be survived and walked away from after enough time.
2x Rare Thrumbos-
Fairly surprising companions during his adventures on the Rimworld, these two mated pair of Thrumbos have followed him around for most of his deployment, ever since he rescued and tended to one of them after a run in on Exotic Animal Poachers.
Thrumbos are large quadrupedal omnivores, though they strongly prefer a herbivorous diet, and are capable of consuming trees. Though their exact origins are unknown, they are found across almost the entirety of the Rimworld region. They are often hunted by poachers seeking their incredibly valuable pelt and horn, though this is a risky proposition at the best of times, as the Thrumbo is larger, stronger, more durable, and faster than a Baseline human, and are intelligent enough to recognize and avoid the majority of traps and ambushes.
The pair following Ashwin are not, strictly speaking, Tamed, but have grown accustomed to his presence over the years he spent exploring the rim, and will thus generally follow him and listen to his opinion.
