Name: Quinn C. Donovan
Age: 23
Callsign: Dainn
Appearance:
Background: Quinn Donovan wasn't exactly born to greatness, in fact considering he was born in the lower slums of Svartalfheim which is already a fairly rundown section of Asgard, his odds for survival beyond the age of 6 were fairly low. He did live past 6 however, though whether it was by fortune or misfortune, the young child was enrolled by his parents into an Asgardian Military program in an attempt to give him a chance at a better life. The life he got however was strict and brutal, being forced to work himself to the bone as he was honed into a fine-tuned killing machine to be used against not only the Guana threat, but any threat to Asgardian society. By the time he was 18, Quinn was already being deployed on covert missions within Asgard's nine boarders, now fully trained to hunt down and kill the targets he was assigned as a member of the mobile assault unit "Gungnir".
During his time with Gungnir, he not only fine tuned his skill at killing, but found an odd hobby in tinkering with old machines and weapons, finding himself more easily able to relate to the cold machinery than he was a living person; after all, anyone around him could just as easily become a target at a moment's notice. After many successful missions and countless enemies of the colony dead by his hand, Quinn was promoted to the rank of Einherjar pilot, a position he readily accepted on behalf of his unit. He is the tip of Odin's Spear, the judgment of the All-Father laid bare upon Asgard's enemies, and he is here to deliver swift justice in the name of its citizens.
Personality: Quinn is a cold, silent sort of individual, more apt to stand at the back of a room and silently observe than he is to initiate actual conversation with people. Years and years of military conditioning have left him calculating and ruthless in the face of his enemies, but incredibly loyal to Asgard and its citizens so long as they haven't been branded traitors of the colony. He tends to be rather straightforward and blunt when addressed, only responding when he needs to and often ignoring anyone he considers a distraction to what he's doing, though someone persistent could likely get him to talk.
Behind the cold mask is a generally kind and caring individual, a person with a general love for Asgard and is willing to put his body and soul on the line in its defense. In the presence of someone he could tentatively call a friend, he would be rather awkward with conversation and almost shy in comparison to his usual aloof attitude, though any discussion about technology or mechanics would get him far more talkative, perhaps even a little enthusiastic. Or about as enthusiastic as Quinn is capable of at least.
Einherjar sheet -
Unit number: Ex-221
Unit name: Ratatoskr
Special features:
- Enhanced Speed Boosters: Ratatoskr has several speed boosters placed strategically around its person, allowing it to not only make it even faster than its small frame already allowed, but to instantaneously change its direction mid-flight, giving it unparalleled maneuverability.
- Streamlined Lightweight Frame: This unit has been outfitted with a hyper-aerodynamic frame that allows for minimal air resistance while moving, allowing it to take advantage of its speed boosters at the cost of making it a very vulnerable target if caught.
- EXcEL Class Energy Armor: Due to its fragile nature, the Ratatoskr was outfitted with an shield generator which encases its frame in a thin, but durable skin of condensed energy. This allows the unit to endure several heavy blows while restricting none of its movements, but constant use can lead to an overheating of the Ratatoskr's core before the shield has even depleted.
Equipment:
MPSMG-12 "Gram" - A standard model, energy based sub machine gun which fires compressed bolts of raw energy at high speeds. Each energy core can produce roughly 300 bolts at a rate of 12 bolts per every second and a half. The drawback is that its accuracy only remains optimal when the target is a few feet in front of you, but considering each bolt can easily punch through double reinforced steel on its own power, anything that close to the assaulting unit should be easily torn to shreds before it has a chance to become a threat.
CAES-III "Tyrfing" - The Tyrfing is a set of plasma blades specifically custom made for the Ratatoskr. The blade is attached at the elbow of either arm and reaches roughly half the unit's arm length outwards; the catch is that the blade can retract and resurface out of a slot near the Ratatoskr's wrists, allowing either blade to strike from the front or the side, depending on the situation. Each blade is forged from a poly-carbonate titanium with the cutting edge being composed of copper-tungsten hybrid which is heated up to 3,000 °F. While this might be seen as old fashioned next to newer model energy blades, the Tyrfing takes up only a third of the typical energy consumption in comparison, making it much less taxing to use; as well, most energy shields aren't equipped to deal as efficiently with heated metal as they are energy based weaponry, allowing it more easily inflict its intended damage.
