"They call me Jack because I WILL JACK YOU UP!"
Standing at a solid height of 60 inches, Goblin is dwarfed by the majority of his fellow operatives. However they never tease him about his short height, because they know better. He sports an overly lean and athletic build due to his constant sparring and staying in shape, though looking at him one doesnât get the appearance of power, rather that of impossibly high endurance and agility: his features are wolflike, lithe, and sharp. His frame is not particularly broad but neither are they thin, remaining this way so that maximum maneuverability in combat is achieved. His face is neatly shaved, no trace of a beard or mustache, and even his dark hair is trimmed shortly so that the opponent could not use that against him. His olive flesh is visible with obvious augmentations, enhanced to withstand the constant strain that he endures in and out of the field, his lower body and arms being the most obvious.
However, Goblin doesn't wear the standard-issued ASIT gear, and as such, there can be no mistaking the soldier. When he's operating in combat-laden situations, his armor gives him an armored reptilian/insectoid appearance... a "living weapon", which others have commented on at times. His faceplate features a smooth, skull-like visage, contoured around his face and jawline, complementing the lightning blue eyes of his, with a series of dreadlocks in the back of the head, and the lower mouthguard is removable to allow the consumption of meals while in the midst of an operation.
Due to his constant training while off-duty, Goblin has the tendency to "jump" back into the action after he's down, very much an annoyance to his opponents (as well as something that attributed to his codename of Goblin), who often wonder why he just won't stay down.
Equipment
Unlike the other members that patrol the 83rd District, Goblin's armored suit is technically a removable, dermal armor augmentation, designed to be streamlined for the ease of movement and, like the armor worn by his teammates, is resistant to most small-arms fire, however prolonged duration is not advised. In lieu of operating conventional weaponry, Goblin utilizes dual "Armor-Buster" Quake Gauntlets that cover both his hands and forearms, along with dual straight bladed falchions.
Each Quake Gauntlet is installed with field displacement generators, which when activated, shape and redirect certain fields in a specified direction, creating a seemingly explosive pulse of raw kinetic energy, effectively earning them the nickname of "Armor-Busters". Goblin had the generators modified to include a small electromagnet to "fling" magnetic materials (such as tungsten rods) when he activates the gauntlets. The armguard is split through the middle, providing an area that the user can utilize to lock down and disarm an opponent from a weapon.
"Big things come in small packages."
If the team is the gun, Goblin is the bullet. Despite his small stature, he serves as the team's weapons specialist. He looks at people in terms of the threat they pose; those deemed as one are treated immediately and permanently, those not are ignored only for the momentâbut never wholly disregarded. After years of honing his body's abilities, Goblin created what he believed to be an extremely versatile method of battle: to deliver as much crushing force in as little time as necessary. His armor, weapons, and fighting style all reflect this philosophy.
He will not toy around with his opponents. He is blunt and direct when not actively holding stealth. Efficiency is his only style; he does not care for splatter and fanciful methods of killing when a simple single shot is all that will suffice. He will deal with opponents the simplest and quickest way possible only because he does not intend to waste time, resources, and effort any more than he has to.
However do not mistake him as a sociopath. He derives no pleasure from killing, nor does he relish the action of inflicting pain. He will just as coolly walk past you as he would smash your face into a blended mess of blood and pulped flesh. He does not care whether people live or die, he merely deals with "obstacles" as he sees fit. If dealing with said obtrusions requires slaying, then that is what must be done. These obstacles may be anything as serious as a guard shooting at him to something as trivial as merely asserting his standing in a bar; in both instances there will be shots fired and bodies strewn across the floor.
Though, it is known that he does have a slight sense of humor, albeit wicked, as he did nickname his two Quake Gauntlets "Bitchslappers 1&2".
Just don't make fun of his height, and you might not have to worry about getting your face smashed in. Almost every criminal that laid eyes on him has done this, and they have all regretted it.
