Name:Voronnen Zere
Age: 143
Race:Human
Hair Color:White
Eye Color:Blue
Height:6' 7"
Weight: 253 lbs
*Occupation: Bounty hunter

Personality: Rather a cynic, Voronnen does not believe that people, as a whole, will ever be able to really learn. Aside from this, he has great compassion for living things, and passes swift judgment on those who have wronged him or the innocent. Has a long scar across his face from when he rescued his friend from an imperial raid. Only takes off his helmet to sleep and eat.

Appearance: A very tall, strong man, who, despite his age, is still in peak condition for physical activity. Wears a suit of armor which his good friend James Tesla created.

History: Born to an impoverished family in August of 2583 in the slums of old earth, Voronnen grew up knowing how to survive in the worst of conditions.
at the young age of 13, he caught and killed an Imperial Guard breaking into his home with only his bare hands. After that, he became one of the most wanted men in the solar system. Fleeing his home, he became acquainted with James Tesla, a prodigy when it came to inventing new things, and they helped each other through the early part of their lives. Tesla was a very small man, and having been struck with Polio as a young child and was unable to use his legs. Voronnen helped him get around and protected him from the barbaric people of Old Earth. In return, Tesla made for Voronnen an environment suit, that was constructed mostly of carbon nanotube(look it up on wikipedia) mesh and Thysonium alloy(a very strong, lightweight metal with self-regeneration properties), and supplied with breathable air and a comfortable temperature, and equipped with a powerful computer system capable of breaking into any other technological device, and several weapons, including a Thysonium sword with two parallel curved blades, that he named the Arq Blades.
When Voronnen was 67 his friend died due to an attack from the natives of Old Earth. Cursing the human race, Voronnen drove them back single-handedly, killing dozens and wounding many more. After taking his friend’s fallen body back to his beloved lab, Voronnen discovered that he was working on an immortality serum, to counter the effects of aging in the body. After destroying all traces of Tesla’s research, Voronnen injected the final serum into himself, and was from that point on, immortal to age. He then returned to his old home and found his parents bones, slain by the Imperium.
In the year 2653, when Voronnen was 70, he left Old Earth in a stolen cruiser. He spent the next 40 years working freelance for the Rebels Against the Imperium. After chasing the Imperium's Supreme Chancellor's cruiser halfway across the solar system, he happened into a wormhole, and was sent to a strange land known to its natives as Althanas. Early on, he either ran out of ammunition for his projectile weapons and had only his Arq Blades, environ-suit, and the light energy weapons and tools directly integrated into his suit. While exploring the area immediately around his crashed vessel(which he is using for a home base and safe hold), he caught a small demon imp who promised him, in exchange for his life, that he would teach him how to wield magic.

Skills: Very skilled in his use of the Arq Blades, he primarily uses them for combat. His suit, though durable, is remarkably durable when it comes to magic attacks, and is both heat, cold and water resistant.
Voronnen is also slowly learning to wield magic due to the instruction of the demon imp Halbard. Still struggling in things such as fire and wind elemental control, he is focusing on telekinetics, energy and ice. Hopes to be able to reform matter with psykinetics eventually.

Equipment: His Arq Blades which are approximately 1.6 meters long and can lock onto either of his arms, though he usually places them on his right arm. On his right forearm a pulse weapon that delivers a long range pulse of plasma energy that, for some unknown reason, does little damage to things in this world, but is effective for attacking at ranges well beyond bow shot. On his left forearm there is a small energy shield that can block anything but a straight bow shot and a direct meelee attack and a small energy cannon(that does not work as of yet, but he picked up some readings from his ship indicating hydroxide crystals, approximately 12 KM from his ship,and is trying to find them in hopes of repairing it) that takes about 30 seconds to charge and delivers a powerful blast. Cannot be used along with the shield, jet pack, or pulse gun on his right arm. On the upper torso of his armor is a small jet pack, that can propel him up to 10 meters in the air before it must recharge. Recharging takes one minute and twenty-six seconds.
In his helmet, he has an infrared scanner capable of detecting most living things(save reptilians and skilled elves) at a range of up to 50 meters and a translating device that can translate anything said to him and anything he says into languages both parties understand. his suit also regulates temperature up to the extremes of 450 Fahrenheit and -345 Fahrenheit. This gives him he great resistance to fire and ice area spells. Has a cable gun that shoots a spring hook with a durable Thysonium cable attached to it. After shooting it retracts back into its housing.

I need a little bit more definition on what "learning to use magic in terrifying ways" means. I'm also a little bit reticent about letting "very skilled" and "remarkably durable" to magic get through, but clarify what you mean regarding magic and I'll make an executive decision about the others.

His armor has the ability to disperse most weak magic spells(excluding lightning/energy attacks) and decreases more powerful spells by 15%.

His swordplay is fast and powerful, but could be easily bested by a master.

I apologize if he seems overpowered but I've been forming his character for years and finally found an outlet(here) thanks to a good friend of mine. I am very willing to make any changes to him if need be.

I think the clarification here suffices, and I see no need to ask you to edit that into your profile.

Just remember that your armor, while remarkably durable against magic, will be up against some folks that have remarkably powerful magic. And I trust you to recognize when you are up against a master.

However, I asked you to clarify what you meant on "terrifying magic," because that could be abused.

Also, I'm going to require some changes to your equipment. Your suit as you describe it in your equipment is extremely overpowered -- it would need to start having problems at temperatures much less extreme than molten lava and liquid nitrogen.

In addition, you need to clarify a few things -- when you say that your shield can block "anything" but a direct attack, that needs to be toned down. What does that mean, "anything?" And when you say your plasma cannon doesn't damage things in this world, but yet is "effective" at range, please clarify what you mean.

In addition, I'm going to ask you to remove one piece of your weaponry. If you'd like to keep it, but say that it is currently inoperable, that's fine. You may choose which piece to discard.

Please make edits directly into your first post using the edit button on your key, then post here with an indication that the edits have been made.

Thank you for your time, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. I just need to be fair to our other players, who often started with far less powerful equipment.

O.K., I made the changes you suggested(removed the small blade and made his cannon inoperable, integrated bolt rifle still works, but does little damage) and toned down his resistance. Let me know if there is any other changes. I really don't want to be considered overpowered.

Okay, this is better. Approved.
