Description
Name: [Taurean]
Alias: [Suit]
Other Aliases: [The Wraith, Night Terror, Day Break, ect]
Age: [23]
Race: [Black/White]
Nationality: [United Kingdom}
Powers: [Able to make manipulate light & the absence of light (Shadows). He is able to materialize the shadows and make them tangible, serving either for himself shadow armor, shadow gloves, and many other creative variations and uses. He is also able to harness light into pure energy, usually lashing out with it in a searing projectile attack or creating a dangerous *light knife* from his fists.
Suit stands at a muscular 5'10, 175 lb. and has a very clean faded haircut. His skin is a vary light caramel complexion and his eyes are light bronze in their colour. He keeps a small clean mustache & goatee. His accent perhaps distinguishes the most as he was born and raised in Ipswich England before his abduction. No matter what, his smile is always a mischievous one. His normal attire consists normally of a black trench, a black long sleeve sweater with a white collared shirt & tie underneath, black slacks & black steel-toed boots. He is usually never without some form of sunglasses, and usually always wears a black & white kangol hat.
At other times he simply wears a black hoodie & jeans along with his boots.
His visage seems to rise when he's in full manipulations in the shadows. Because of his ability to manipulate light, he sometimes gives off a brilliant glow in his eyes when his face cannot be seen. This visual has enabled him to be called *The Wraith* by some.
Personality
Suit is first and foremost a hedonist. Because of the amount of torture & lack of control offered to him during his time as an experiment he instantly went the direction of whatever instant satisfaction he could find. The amount of his life spent as an experiment has placed a handicap on his social skills as well. He doesn't know quite well the bounds and limits of society and constantly breaks social norms to achieve whatever pleasure he wishes.
Suit is extremely bright, capable of going through a full novel at an uncanny pace and being able to retrace every detail with his acute memory. As an experiment, he was frequently beaten when they would give to him books to read and it seemed like he never picked them up. However when the beatings finally came to an end, he was able to recite to his captors each and every instance of the 400 books they had beat him over. This also aids in his social handicap because he tends to become infatuated with many books that he reads, wanting to replicate the feel and personality of the heroes that he comes to love. His greatest pleasure in reading are tales of the American Wild West and he does what he can to emulate the lifestyle of the drifter that makes his own rules.
When Suit isn't breaking the bounds of society he is quite the charismatic speaker. Often using this to manipulate the interests of those around him. He is well spoken and direct. He hardly results to sarcasm and tries his best to keep the manners of the knights that he has read so much about, even when he's slaughtering someone.
Suit only has one person he considers an "Acquaintance" and normally keeps to himself. He has found no use of a "friend" because their interests would only detract from his own.
He has no correlation between what is "right" and what is "wrong". Tis the reason why he doesn't blink an eyelash after a murder or anything done that could be considered cruel. However this doesn't mean that he will go around and just run over children. There have been times when he's displayed a random act of kindness such as stopping a rape or giving a vagrant some money. However there have been other times when he's outright murdered someone because he wasn't impressed with their style of clothing.
Whatever makes him happy.
When in a stressful situation or combat, his personality remains the same: Unpredictable. Because of his training, intellect, powers, and equipment Suit can come at his opponents in a variety of different ways which he makes capital use of.

Equipment
Suit carries an assortment of equipment that speaks for his persona.
Because of his infatuation with the Wild West, he carries around two modified 9 chamber LeMat Revolvers in times where he wants precision. They are usually holstered on his sides. He keeps them loaded with armor-piercing rounds. http://i545.photobucket.com/albums/hh365/tjd0067/revolverconfederelemat-01.jpg
When he decides he wants a spray of bullets, he restorts to a modified and easily concealable 50 round FN-P90 which is slung on his back.

When he wants to get messy, he draws out his two modified trench knives which are kept in hidden pockets on the sides of his legs.

Though these conventional weapons make him dangerous, Suit derives his namesake from an assortment of uncanny casino items that have been augmented to become deadly weapons.
Because of his interest in card games, Suit has had commissioned for him decks of cards that only have one suit. [Hearts, Spades, Clubs, Diamonds]. Having read up on how to become an expert hard thrower, these cards become deadly projectiles with different properties when thrown. Every card is enclosed inside a very thin, but very sharp diamond casing which can embed itself and severely eviscerate flesh when thrown. However each suit comes with a different action which makes them even deadlier.
Cards with the suit of diamonds can cause a small explosion upon impact, sending fragments of sharp crystal to kill an opponent.
Cards with the suit of spades are able to be boomeranged back towards Suit, allowing for a constant torrent of edged death.
Cards with the suit of hearts can explode into a deadly white phosphorus coating.
Cards with the suit of clubs have embedded within them a chip which seeks out targets based on their heat signatures, sometimes allowing for even someone behind cover to be able to get hit.
For extended operations Suit may also carry a small crown-royal bag full of poker chips that have adorned on them one of the four suits. The poker chips carry the same effect as their card counterparts, albeit to a lesser degree.
Strengths & Weaknesses: Taurean's versatility is his greatest strength. Because of his ability to make use of light and shadows his source of power seems appears to be infinite. Nonetheless it is obvious that Taurean's at his most vulnerable during the day because of the scarcity of darkness. He has trained however to undermine this handicap and still remain a deadly threat. His shadow armor serves him well, so far being able to protect him from assault-rifle fire and keeping him from harm during explosions from either his cards or poker chips.
He's able to use the Shadows to travel nearly instantaneously, making him a very hard target to catch.
When fully concentrated, he has been able to burn through titanium with his manipulation of light.
Scenes of his crime are usually wiped clean with the shadows. Every shell casing, corpse, even every square inch of the room he's within is slated clean of any prints that would be left behind.
His benefactor, Yan-Mei has been training him in Brazilian Jujitsu & Kickboxing to round out an effective hand-to-hand and submission fighter.
Despite all of these assets however, Suit is within normal human bounds. If he takes enough of a beating he'll go down same as the next man. He must always constantly be aware of his surroundings and of the threats that are around. If he cannot see you shoot at him, he won't be able to stop the bullet. He has normal strength, speed, agility, and endurance for someone of his build who engages in a regular exercise routine. As well, there is only so much damage that his shadow armour can take before it breaks. Staying in one spot and taking a barrage of bullets or melee pounding is never an option for him.
History
Taurean was taken by Olympus from his home of Ipswich England when he was 5 just like all the others. The first result of the torturous experiments was his uncanny ability to read large texts and keep the memories nearly verbatim. However as the years went by and the experiments became worse, it soon came to be that he would suffer an extreme sensitivity to light which made it so that he had to wear sunglasses in order to fully operate. When at the age of 13, they decided to test the limits of his photophobia (light sensitivity) and in perhaps the worst moment of his life nearly induced him into a seizure.
However the effects of what happened would be the defining factor that would change his life. When the brightest of lights had been beamed into his unprotected eyes Taurean's dormant genes finally reacted. In a loud scream of agony searing light radiated from his entire form destroying the lights and surrounding the entire room in darkness. When they were finally able to restore light back to the complex they found that he had vanished!
For days they chased his trail within the complex, always being able to find him in the darkest of places before he would disappear again. In time they finally caught him, however he would become increasingly violent towards his oppressors by using the light and dark to fend off, maim, or kill those that tried to experiment on him.
Thus the beatings and futile attempts to experiment would continue through his teens and into adulthood before the Organization raided the facility.
He was the first one to vanish.
In his travels he came upon an arms dealer by the name of Yan-Mei who quickly sparked his interest. The two of them formed a symbiotic relationship. Yan-Mei would tailor technology and weapons to his needs as well as provide information to help him exact revenge on the corporate owners of Olympus who had fled the Organization if he managed to remove any and every threat in New Belfast to her smuggling ring.
He accepted her offer and has been working with her ever since, never hesitating to use his powers for whatever use he pleases. Yan-Mei doesn't mind as long as he gets the job done, which he usually does. He never leaves a name, and never leaves a trace.
Suit, a man just trying to have fun in this world....and get some payback.
