• Mark V Biological Weapon System: An experimental weapon system integrated with the human body. This system is different from others because it is powered purely by the body and enhanced depending on training by the user. The weapon system was discontinued because of its high mortality rate. The version Mac possess was the last and most advanced one created, but was never put to use. There are still features and harmful effects that he is unaware of. The few he has found out, he has mastered. Overuse of the weapons can result in the user entering the red zone, which is where things become harmful and the user can sustain permanent side-effects, are even worse, death.
  
  
• Elite Eight: Camouflaged as Mac's very own dreads, these are 8 chords, each with their own unique function. With practice one, can move these chords as if another limb. They are pretty durable and strong, capable of lifting up to 20 lbs, and have great coordination. Mac commonly uses these to enhance his laziness, by having them holds drinks or even scratch unreachable places. A lot of the features predate the invention of The GLOVE and OCHO, and now that the two new items can virtually do the same; they are barely used by Mac.

PERSONALITY

---

Personality Description
This man isn’t your usual nice guy or ladies man; he isn't even your typical know-it-all jackass. He is a unique fusion of the three, but that doesn't make him perfect. He is constantly being rude and a little too vulgar for people's taste. Sounds like a jerk, right? But this attitude actually works for Mac, especially when he throws in his personalized humor. Mac loves to crack jokes, whether they are enjoyed by all or he is the only one laughing. Once he is laughing, it is rather contagious and everyone else is soon to follow.

He has the rare ability to find a good time in the worst of situations. Once happy, he never allows anyone to ruin his mood. One of his favorite phrases is "Fuck it..." He is capable of caring, but not caring at the same time. Which sounds weird, but once you get to know him you will understand. Due to his unattractive aura, he is hated by many and loved by few, and he wouldn't have it any other way.

This of course affects his love life as well. The only girls', who have constantly been by his side, were his sister and mother and even they eventually left him. Though there are still a few that he manages to ensnare with his charming personality.

He is very lazy, which earned him the nickname: sloth. To top things off, his hygiene isn't the best, though he does try to keep from having an odor. He also has a bad habit of stealing for no reason. Though he is very good and you probably wouldn't notice till days later.

Overall Mac is a good guy, but just a little misunderstood and quickly judged. But, I wouldn't count on him for any heroics. However he does have strong morals and will fight for what he believes in. And when you do get 100% cooperation from him, it is like a completely different person. There are even accounts of him being a decent, kind, caring person. The best example of this is the taking in of young Benji, who he affectionately calls Benny Boom.

Quirks
If anything, it would have to be his colorful language.

Fears
Me? What am I afraid of? Nuffin! Except for:

• Losing the only family he has left.
• Someone smoking all of his crop.
• Aliens taking over the planet!

Goal
To find out what happen to my sister.

Likes

• Gaming
• Smoking
• Tinkering
• Hoverboarding
• Watching Vintage Films

Dislikes

• Stealing? I hate thieves! Yea...
• Selfish people. Learn to pass, damn-it!
• Whats-his-face and the guardians, err whatever. You know what I mean.

Strengths
His body enhancements and its many abilities.

Weaknesses
His overall demeanor and lack of motivation.

EQUIPMENT

[Perfect] - [Excellent] - [Good] - [Above Average] - [Average] - [Below Average] - [Poor] - [Very Poor]



Clothing/Armor

• Currently Wearing: Red Hoodie Tank Top, Backpack, Black Cargo Pants, Red Fingerless Gloves, Glasses, Black Combat Boots. However normal Mac's clothes may seem, they are have a general purpose and unique features.
  
  
• [Above Average] Reflective Hoodie: Named for its ability to do away with projectiles. It is made of Kevlar thread and lined with Microplad. The hoodie itself is of custom design, made for stylish appearance and protective purposes. (Image 1)
  
  
• DCD Backpack: This is far from your typical backpack. Besides from it's unique and stylish design, the zipper works as a fingerprint scanner and is programmed only to open by Mac's touch. Inside is a compressed storage dimension, with medium storage capacity. He currently uses it store a number of tools and other items. (Image 3)
  
  
• Cling Boots: Cling Boots are an old and out-of-date invention made to cling to any surface once activated. They were deemed unsafe and obsolete once AMP Gear was invented. Plus they do not always cling and if they do, it is not for very long. Mac being the tinker he is, has modified them to do their job better and be more reliable. He uses them mostly when Sky Surfing or during infiltration attempts. (Image 4)
  
  
• Specs: More commonly known as glasses, Mac wears these at all times. They are actually quite common and regular. They have just one bonus feature of being able to see security lasers. (Image 2)

Combat Prowess

• [Above Average] Hand-to-Hand Combat: Mac has no training in any martial art, besides watching a kung-fu film here and there. His only talent comes from wrestling in high school and the many street brawls he was in. Both of which he has seen wins and losses, either way he is capable of holding his own.
  
  
• [Average] Melee Combat: Just like his hand-to-hand skills, Mac has had no formal training. But, how much training do you really need to swing a bat, a golf club, or 2x4. He could do well against someone as skilled as him, but against anyone with training, he would most likely lose.
  
  
• [Poor] Armed Combat: Mac doesn't use guns or any type of firearms, thus he doesn't have any training.

Abilities

• [Perfect] Support Electromagnetic Pulse Discharge: Using the natural electrcity running through the body, the Mac's fist is able to produce an electromagnetic pulse. Depending on the strength used, it can either temporarily or permanently knock the device out. This can be done via touch or discharge, though the discharge does have a limited range of 5 meters. The amount of constant use varies on the user and its body, Mac can use this repeatedly 10 times, before entering the red zone. He also has a variation of this ability, which is more radial and works as a pulse, affecting every electronic device within its range.
  
  
• [Excellent] Support Second Brain Unlike other cybernetic systems, the control mechanism is not installed on the brain or cerebellum. It is installed in another location and then connected to the brain. Therefore the brain controls the device, and the device controls the system. This is a bit complicated and unnecessary, it is also a weakness. But the Second Brain was eventually supposed to be removed and the subject was to gain control the system on his own. Mac has instead had it modified to act as a second heart and brain.So instead of having a glaring weakness, he has instead gave himself a second lifeline.
  
  
• [Good] Offensive Bio-energy Blast: The only true offensive capability of the Mark V Biological Weapon System, is the Bio Blast. The body gathers energy the same way it does for the electro pulse, except with amplifiers built into the body the power is enhanced. Mac is then able to produce a blast of energy from his right palm with the force equal to a concussion rifle and damage equal to a particle beam.
  
  This ability isn't hard to control, but does put a strain on the body. So far Mac had been able to fire three consecutive beams of equal stretch before feeling the side effect. The last time he over did it, he was in a coma for the next few days.
  
  
• [Good] Defensive Neurotoxic Mist: Converting the body into a natural factory, the user is able to produce a neurotoxin in the form of a gas. The gas isn't deadly, but it instead paralyzes whoever inhales it. The time varies for the amount inhaled. Overexposure to the gas may cause permanent paralysis. This is one of the hardest features to control as the human body can expel gas in a number of ways, most of them uncontrollable. Mac is no exception to this rule. He has managed to expel this gas whenever wanted through one way and that is through flatulence.
  
  The body can produce this naturally, but requires one main ingredient that the average human body cannot get: THC. This is one of the main reasons (plus many others) Mac smokes so much marijuana in order to get the ingredient in his system. Once at full capacity, Mac has enough toxins to paralyze 30 full grown men for at least an hour. There is also another benefit to this producing this toxin, which is that it makes him immune to other neurotoxins.
  
  
• [Good] Passive Bio-Refresh: Along with the new system installed into Mac's body, it also enhances the bodies organs and immune system. The system helps the body run more efficiently, therefore increasing base abilities, like: endurance, agility, strength, reflexes, etc. The refresh is not an added ability, or does it add to current abilities. Think of it as a refresh button for the human body. So for someone like Mac who was lazy and treated his body poorly. It now runs and acts like a body in peak condition.
  
  
• [Above Average] Passive Sight & Hearing Enhancement: This feature goes hand-in-hand with The Bio-Refresh. The user eye sight is now more than perfect, not inhuman, but definitely above average. Mac can now see clearer at further distances and is capable of seeing in areas of low lighting; still not clear enough to be considered night vision. As for his hearing, he can't hear further, but he can pick up more and identify specific locations of sounds better.
  
  
• [Below Average] Support Tools of the Trade: These are the eight chords camouflaged as Mac's dreads. Each with their own unique function. With practice one, can move these chords as if another limb. They are pretty durable and strong, capable of lifting up to 20 lbs, and have great coordination. Mac commonly uses these to enhance his laziness, by having them holds drinks or even scratch unreachable places. A lot of the features predate the invention of The GLOVE and OCHO, and now that the two new items can virtually do the same; they are barely used by Mac.
  
  

  1. Direct Access: Allows the user access to any computer system via chord being plugged into the device.
  
  2. Skeleton Key: Can gain access to electronically locked areas, by overloading the system. Though this can sometimes backfire and cause the door to become permanently locked.
  
  3. Third Eye: Like an optic cable, this is used to get a good view of unreachable areas, such as the other side of doors or through small holes.
  
  4. Voice-box: By plugging into a communication device, the user can then use the device or intercept other calls being made, if the device happens to be on the same line as others.
  
  5. Skeleton Key V2: used to gain access to lock guarded objects with keyholes. Which is rare, but not uncommon.
  
  6. Laser: A focused laser intended for cutting through tough materials; intensity can be adjusted for other jobs. This does not work well as a weapon though.
  
  7. X-Ray: a small x-ray cam, not capable of peering through much but a couple layers of clothing or thin walls. Range is also limited.
  
  8. USB: good for uploading or downloading data and information.

Skills

• [Perfect] Thievery: Mac has a love for stealing, he is really good at it. He likes to say the first thing he stole was life, since he stole the egg from his father's other sperm cells...
  
  
• [Excellent] Tinker/Inventor: Besides stealing, Mac's second love is tinkering. He never really invents anything, he just loves to mess with things; see how they work. Though most of his items he has modified quite successfully, others not so much. His most notable inventions are Hacker's Delight and OCHO.
  
  
• [Excellent] Sky Surfer: Mac loves to sky surf in order to get away from life. He has been seen in a few races and won a few tournaments, but nothing special. He believes it is pure and doesn't want to dirty it up with money or fame.
  
  
• [Good] Marksman: Though he has never fired a gun in his life, he has practiced his aim with his Bio Blast and Electro Discharge. He is just good enough to hit whatever he is aiming at in front of him, 8 out of 10 times.
  
  
• [Above Average] Intellect: Mac has a borderline genius level intellect. He supposes it would be even smarter if he ever nourished it with anything important and all that other boring crap. But, for now he is fine with knowing the all the words to every Matrix film.
  
  
• [Average] Hacking: Despite being the leader of a notorious hacking group and one of Hijacks Corps most decorated members, Mac isn't that skilled in the art of hacking. His skill mostly comes from his deadly virus programs. In that field however, he is unparalleled.

Weapons
None

Equipment

• Agent_Zero Worm: The Agent_Zero Worm is Mac's very own creation and his main weapon that has yet to be defeated. The worm produces a image on the computer screen, while people are distracted with the worms word and actions, the real work is beginning. First it begins by slowing down the system, then it begins to spread into other systems of the network. It then uses a payload to install a backdoor in the infected computer to allow the creation of a "zombie" computer under control of the worm author. This then gives Mac control over all the infected systems and he can do what he wishes. Once he has what he wants he will either leave and take the worm with him or he will issue a destroy command where the worm will delete EVERYTHING and ANYTHING. (Image 1)
  
  
• OCHO: is an innovative robot that has been designed to work as a surveillance robot with various handy functionalities. This spider like design of the robot features six mechanical legs with the ability to perform all-way movement, giving the robot the opportunity to go on almost any surfaces and unique ability to cling to them. The main body features a powerful camera to capture photos and videos, motion sensor to detect suspicious elements and a tiny antenna to send and receive signals and data to the base station. It also holds a small, but powerful laser, powerful enough to cut through a couple inches of steel. A glossy red and blue color combination was given so it could match its creator and master. Control of this device can only be obtained through Mac's GLOVE. The device was initially created to hold the same features as Mac's dreads. He plans on making more for every member of the 404s. (Image 2)
  
  
• Sky board: This is actually a hoverboard with sky board capabilities. Nicknamed Slipstream, this model is focused on agility and handling. It can reach the max speed of 80 miles, and can get up to have of that within 10 seconds. It has pressure sensitive controls, which are difficult to master. Due to the speed and max height, Mac's Cling Boot's are must when handling this piece of technology. The board itself is is about 3 feet long and 1 foot wide. (Image 3)

Accessories
None that haven't been mentioned already.

Memorabilia
Sister's Picture: After the funeral of his deceased sister, Corren Alastar. He made a promise that day that he would find out what happen to her and kill those responsible for taking his kid sister out of his life. He keeps a photo in his wallet as well as a digital version stored on his GlOVE.

Bio/History
Mac was born to be a slacker and destined to be a thief. His parents say his first words were "I'm tired..." and the first time he walked was to run away from a cop. However he was very bright as a child and was even granted access into advanced classes. But, despite his parents’ wishes, he was always into trouble and never into books. He always managed to get tangled up in the wrong crowds, but following wasn't his thing. Mac would always emerge as the evil mastermind of the group.

When his sister, Corren Alastar was born, he couldn't have been happier. He had always wanted a younger brother, to be his partner in crime, but he figured a girl would work too. Sadly it was also around this time when his mother grew very ill. She had contracted a deadly disease, which eventually lead to her death. To add on to this tragedy, their father didn't take this too well and months later over dosed on drugs. This left 15 year old Mac and 8 year old Corren on their own with no relatives to take them in. And rather than be split up by the foster care system, they took to the streets.

By that time Mac was a very skilled hacker and an even better thief. So sustaining a life wasn't hard, plus they had the protection of a crew Mac had joined called Hijack Corps. When he was 17 he finally had enough money to become a Hybrid, using a special weapons system. He won it from the leader of Hijack Corps through a very heated poker game. A week later, he was a brand new Mac. All of his other remarkable items were acquired through the same methods, whether he created, found, stole, or won them. There is incredible tale behind each one.

At the age of 23 and his sister 16, they have picked up a 17 year old straggler by the name of Benji Carton who has been with them for 7 years. He now had the younger brother he wanted. Though it wasn’t always a life a crime for them. He made Corren and Benji attend school. Due to some issues, Mac left Hijack Corps and created his own crew, The 404's. Together they were a family, a dysfunctional one maybe, but still a family.

it wasn't long after the 404's were getting notoriety, that they designed Hacker's Delight. Everything was good and Mac was beginning to think life couldn't be better. Until the disappearance of his sister. Everything had happen so fast, it had taken him so long to get so high, only to get knocked down.

After the disappearance, he slumped into a state of despair and depression. He even attempted to take his own life a of couple times. But he still had a crew to lead and Benji still looking to him for guidance, not to mention the feeling that his sister was still out there somewhere...

As of now, Mac is 32 and still looking for his sister.
