RP Character: EnDSchultz

[EnDSchultz]

Name: EnDSchultz (For lack of one better than his internet alias)

Age: Not exactly known. Estimated between 300-450 years.

Race: Yaut'Ja (Predator. Yes, the one from the movie 'Predator')

Alignment: Neutral Evil.

Favorite Weapons - In no particular order

Wristblades: These dual blades are the Predator's most commonly-used weapon, and are mounted inside a holster on the Yaut'Ja's right wrist, and can be extended to as much as three feet. They are curved slightly downward, when viewed with the palms of the hands down. These blades are heavily serrated, to inflict the most grievous damage possible when striking foes.

Combistick/Naginata: This is a long spear that telescopes for compactness. At it's storage length it is little more than two feet, but when telescoped, extends to over six feet. On each end are pairs of triangular blades, in a sort of two-pronged 'fork' arrangement. Image. It can also be thrown, and using the targetting scanners in the Predator's mask, home on a target and impale it, if the target is lucky. This is EnD's personally preferred melee weapon.

Plasmacaster: This is a compact plasma weapon mounted on the Yaut'Ja's left shoulder. It aims using the laser sight on the user's mask, which form three red dots on their target. Alternatively, it can lock onto a thermal signature designated in the Predator's thermal vision. It has virtually unlimited ammunition (the Predator's energy backpack lasts for around 50 years on average), and has the explosive force of about a pound of C4 when fired on full strength. It can be fired via switches inside the Predator's mask, pressed with his mandibles, or a button on his armband.

Remote Bombs: These appear to be little more than throwing stars that stick into whatever they make contact with. Don't be decieved, if one of these embedding itself in your neck doesn't kill you, the incendiary explosion following it will. The explosion can be set to go off by time, proximity, or simply by command from a button on the Yaut'Ja's multi-purpose armband or in his mask.

Netgun: This weapon, resembling a pistol fires a net with an array of sharp and adhesive spikes around it, that either interlock with each other, caging an unfortunate victim, or pin said person to a wall or other object behind them. The net is made of an unknown metal, that will tighten with increasing force if the victim struggles, causing terrible pain as it tears through flesh. While the creature within may cut themselves out with relative ease with any common blade, the Yaut'Ja who fired this weapon will have no doubt reached them by then...

SmartDisc: Another telescoping Yaut'Jian weapon, it starts off as five holes in a piece of metal, in which fingers and a thumb can comfortably fit. Once these members are inserted, however it expands into a circular disc, that when thrown, will slice cleanly through the strongest of materials in either a straight line in which it is thrown, or towards a heat signature.

Speargun: The sniper rifle of the Yaut'Jian arsenal, this weapon acts like a railgun, using magnets to propel dual-pronged, three inch long speartips at bullet speeds. The speartips have such inertia that they can potentially propel a human's head clear off its body. The weapon's almost complete silence makes it ideal for covert kills.

Note: The Predator usually can't carry all these weapons at once, and thus chooses depending on his current mission.

Other Equipment -

Cloaking Device: The Hunter's most prized utility. The cloaking device actually bends light around its owner, making them all but impossible to spot when standing motionless. When moving, they appear as an odd haze or shimmer in the air, easily mistaken for a heat wave, and in dense cover, such as foliage and forest, can usually only be identified once it's too late. This system will short-circuit and fail if subjected to a body of water, even something as small as a puddle will severely disrupt its function until the Predator steps on dry ground again.

Mask: The predator's Mask is his best way of targetting enemies with his ranged weapons, and greatly enhances his senses of sight and sound. The mask enhances and filters sound so the wearer can hear a whisper up to 50 feet away. The mask allows him to zoom in his vision on a location like a telescope, it sharpens his natural infrared sight, and gives him several different vision modes. These include a good portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, most notably X-Ray. When in these vision modes, the environment does not have its colorful vibrancy as we see it, and it seems as if it would be very hard to navigate the environment in infrared; it all appears as a dark blue. In addition to having always seen the world like this, I believe the Yaut'Ja have a 6th sense that allows them to analyze and traverse their environment with ease.

The Mask also provides the Yaut'Ja with a slow but steady supply of methane, as their homeworld's atmosphere is slightly different from ours. In the upper right corner is the laser targetting sight, that takes the form of three laser dots in a triangular shape.

Medical Kit: When in battle, the sustaining of injuries is all but inevitable. This is essentially a complete surgery kit. A hunter can do anything from stitch up a flesh wound to cauterizing the stump of an amputated limb. It also has antibiotics, numbing agents and even adrenaline rushes for when necessity dictates the Hunter remains on the move, even after the most horrific of injuries.

Multi-Purpose forearm device: This device extends from the left wrist almost up to the elbow. It can do everything from fire weapons, communicate with teammates, or detonate in a small thermonuclear explosion, should the Hunter find himself in a pinch.

Trophy Cleaning Kit: This kit has everything required to clean and preserve skulls and spines, to ensure they stay in pristine condition for decades of proud service in the Hunter's trophy case.

Appearance: Approximately eight feet tall and humanoid, usually clad in standard Hunter armor. Green skin, with occasional brown or grey spots/patches. Long, claw-like nails. Elongated, flat-topped head with braided 'hair' resemblind dreadlocks lining the back and sides of the head.[url="http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/73/039_24990~Predator-Posters.jpg"]Image 1[/url].[url="http://www.ee.duke.edu/~drsmith/cloaking/predator.jpg]Image 2[/url].

Note: DeviantArt.com has some great Yaut'Ja fan art, albeit some of it is a bit....questionable

Abilities: Amazing strength and endurance. Despite this, he is also very fast and has incredible reflexes. Can jump and fall great distances. Nearly impervious to heat. Heavy armor and tough hide make it a hassle to harm him in melee. This also enables him to shrug off low-caliber bullets. IE, don't go at him with a .22

Weaknesses:All I'll say is that they're few, but I'm sure you can figure something out.

Background: Not all that much is known about this green-skinned extraterrestrial titan, but that he followed the same path as many of his species do: Hunting other sentient races for honor and glory. As time passed he became legendary amongst the Yaut'Ja for his innumerable trophies, and eventually took over leadership of his clan.

On a routine survey mission, a Yaut'Jian hunting vessel discovered a planet, known by its inhabitants as 'Blackstar'. The hunters aboard were all astounded by the incredible diversity and skill of these inhabitants. EnD came to hunt on this planet, and grew attached to it, falling in love with the great challange the hunt provided. Some of the planet's residents were of magical and spiritual nature, and the highest Yaut'Jian leaders banned hunting here; Use of magic was considered weak and very dishonorable, and the Yaut'Ja feared their hunters would be influenced to learn the despicable arts of this Dojo.

EnD continued to hunt here, however, and for that, he was banished from Yaut'Jian society. Alone, and cut off from his entire race, he formed a union of like-minded individuals, known as The Evil Council. They grew to be the most powerful clan on Blackstar, and heavily influence every facet of Dojodian society to this very day.
