Horace Blue

Appearance
At 6'8", Horace Blue is a huge man with broad shoulders to match. He is almost always seen in a dark grey or blue sleeveless suit; his bulky augmented arms rarely able to squeeze through regular sleeves. Exposed cords and wires are woven into his heavily muscled half-skin half-metal arms and his face is partially overtaken by flexible metal pieces and layered scarring from a multitude of operations.

Augments and WetWare

 * Eye cameras. Able to take pictures, record footage, and zoom, Horace's eye cameras are well made and provide immense utility.


 * Neural link. Synthetic wires course through his body. Most are internal but some run along the surface of his skin. These wires are engineered to link every muscle and nerve to his brain directly, giving him extremely precise motor control and high speed. This network allows Horace to push his body to the absolute limit.


 * SatJack Wetware. Implanted in Horace's brain are a number of computer chips and long-range data uplinks. These augments give him access to huge government data stores provided he has access, and allow him to process information off-site, giving him the processing power of a small supercomputer. This augment also gives Horace the ability to hack devices and intercept messages so long as he maintains contact.

Due to excessive prototype augmentation, Horace's body is constantly under huge strain and almost all of his augments are prone to short or malfunction. Common malfunctions include spasming, seizing, and cramping muscles; powerful migraines; electrocution; and more.

As an augment addict, he does not let these drawbacks phase him in the long run, but is sometimes overcome in the moment by the searing pain.

Some who have known him for a long time say his addiction to augments and his constant affliction with malfunctions are slowly driving him insane.

Personality
Horace considers himself a simple man. He likes augments, power, and women. And he makes it his mission to get what he likes.

An unhinged sadomasochist with the willpower and charisma to get things done, Horace strikes a fearsome figure.

History
Born thirty-something years ago, Horace was probably conceived somewhere in one of the government-controlled planets in the inner ring... Truth be told, his extensive augments have eroded his memory to the point where he has forgotten the long past. He takes careful measures to archive information he finds, but organic memories and those formed before he was augmented evaporate quickly.

At some point in his life, Horace was hired as a government official, and has since risen in the ranks. He is now a respected (and feared) interplanetary informations officer; a WareHead with the access and power to ruin lives.

During his time in goverment, Horace befriended a - now dead and forgotten - mentor. This mentor was the original creator of the homonculi, and Horace gladly took up the reins as the old man died. Perhaps the secrets were a gift, and perhaps they were forced from the old mastermind.
