Name: Hubert Gibbs
Alias: Huey, “The Silver Reaper”, “The Ghost” (defunct name)
Age: 22
Description: He wears a pair of yellow lensed glasses on his forehead at all times that is not pictured.
Personality: Huey is a fun loving, happy-go-lucky kinda guy. He is known for his snarky comments and dry wit under any circumstance. He is also absolutely loyal to those he cares about, which is mostly just his family. He is capable of being serious if the situation calls for it, but will still make whatever snarky comments he wants about the situation. He is, though, surprisingly callous when it comes to making decisions about protecting his family.
Equipment: He always has his yellow lensed glasses, which are actually very advanced electronic goggles. It lets him see in both night vision and heat-based vision, as well as tell the exact distance of a target and predictions of his bullets trajectory. He also usually carries a 13mm semi-automatic railgun pistol. With the use of K-PET tech the recoil is negligible, and he uses this gun as his standard arm. He also has a 20mm long cannon, a railgun rifle known for its accuracy. He uses his goggles as a scope and is a crack shot with his guns from almost any distance. He also has a kinetic barrier, standard model, which he got long ago from a job.
Abilities: Huey is an incredibly strong telekinesis user. No one quite knows what the upward bound of his strength is, but it is said he has been able to throw cars with his powers. At least one thing is certain; he is able to use his power to jump insane heights, and, to an extent, float and fly. Outside of his PET skills, he is also a very adept bounty hunter. He is incredibly accurate with his shots, and he is in peak physical condition. In addition, he is very adept at stealth skills. He can hide nearly anywhere, move silently, and break into virtually anything. These skills are holdovers from his original job, but still very useful.
History: Hubert Gibbs was born 22 years ago in the Midcity section of Argenta. He was basically born an orphan, the only remnants of his parents being his last name. By sixth months he was in an orphanage in a bad part of Midcity. As he grew, he started to take care of as many kids in the orphanage as he could to try and help the workers. He was always mature for his age, and many of the kids there looked up to him as an older brother, while he looked at most of them as his younger siblings. He always tried to do as much as he could to make them laugh. Unfortunately, the happy times were not to last.
When he was 12, some of the girls in the orphanage was grabbed of the street. Huey was there when it happened, and he chased after the people who grabbed them. The chase lasted for at least an hour, and Huey didn’t once lose sight of his surrogate siblings. Eventually, they got to a dead end alley in the middle of nowhere, where the one kidnapper threw away the girl roughly and turned on Huey with a knife. This was the first time Huey learned about his PET abilities. He doesn’t talk about what happened there, neither do the girls he saved. No one is quite sure what happened outside of those who were there, but they came back with blood splattered on them and changed. The girls started to cling to Huey at every chance they got, whereas Huey was strangely quiet for a time. Still, within a few weeks, he was back to cracking jokes and making everyone laugh. It seemed like he was completely back to normal.
But he wasn’t. When he was 16, he set out on his own, promising to come back to the orphanage as often as possible and to give them as much help as possible. Everyone was sad to see him go, especially the ones he had saved, but he promised everyone there that they could come live with him when they were old enough… and he had a house, of course. And so he left; to where, no one quite knew.
As it turns out, he had spent the last 4 years both getting himself in the best shape possible and learning as much as he could about being silent and stealthy. Why? He became a thief. In fact, he became the best. Within a year, there were rumors of “The Ghost,” a legend that was said to be able to break into anything and everything. Supposedly, nothing was safe. Of course, this was quite a bit of hyperbole; Huey chose his targets well, and never tried for something he thought he couldn’t do. Within two years, he was stealing from the biggest companies and business as well as rich households, and he was making a lot of money. He had even acquired a partner, Eva, who was able to help him hack into basically anything he wanted. “The Ghost” was mythological, a frightening figure with no known face. He was able to buy an expensive condo with part of the money, as well as send a lot back to finance the orphanage. Things were good.
However, things had to change. He retired from thievery at age 20 for a few reasons, but the most important one was this; some of the people from the orphanage were leaving to come live with him. He had actually bought out almost two floors in the building he was living, so there was no issue with space. Still, he stopped for one reason; none of them knew what he did. Many of them had desires to get legitimate jobs, and, well, he had to have a legitimate job if he was to help them. “Thief” was not a really good job to have if you are providing a character reference. So, he became a bounty hunter, a job he felt quite suited his skill set, and he was not wrong.
He earned the nickname “The Silver Reaper” from a particularly messy job which involved getting a group of Mafioso. He and a group of other independent bounty hunters hunted the Mafia down to a building by the pier in Mideastern. It turned into a blood bath, and he was the only survivor from either side. This was less than 6 months after he started bounty hunting, so he became quite infamous among both fellow bounty hunters and criminals. From that point on, almost no one still worked with him if they could avoid it, due to the superstition that working with him was a death sentence. So, he worked solo.
At least until recently. Just 3 months ago, he started a company for bounty hunting. While there are only a few members, a good number of them are from the orphanage, and the rest are people he had worked with at some point in the past. While he is still trying to find a good name for the group, they are temporarily called “Silver’s Sweeping Services.” Thus far they have been pretty successful. Still, only time will tell exactly know successful they can become.
Extra: Stuff TBA as the plot progresses.
