A castoff of the "normal" family lifestyle, Zius is the newest member of the Unit. He has a very mysterious and shady past, though he is determined to make sure his loyalty is unquestionable.
Zius is in every definition a typical rebel without a cause. He's lazy when it comes to doing anything but keeping in shape, though he will usually always listen to orders given by the leader. Zius is a ladies man, even though he tends to remain mysterious about his intentions and his past, mostly because he doesn't remember his past at all. He's generally laid back, but don't let this fool you. He can have a very nasty temper...
Zius is a motorcycle rider, born and bred. He will always try to find a way to use his motorcycle during a mission or for just about any reason:
Of course he loves his sunglasses:
The final thing you will rarely see him without is his treasured motorcycle jacket:
The last items he usually carries are his small toolkit and any weapons he uses in battle, particularly his heavily modified GXM Assault Rifle, a prototype given to him by his government handler Syn.
Background: Johnny Sampson was born to Alice and Bill Sampson on August 3rd, 1989. He lived a very happy life for the first 3 years, but it was mostly marred in secret by the unnoticed fights and heavy drinking by his father. It was only when he was 3 years old that his parents just couldn't take it anymore and his mother left for reasons unknown to him, his father being arrested for neglecting Johnny, forever taking his parents out of his life, placing him in a foster home. Over the course of the next 17 years he went through group homes and foster homes like they were going out of style, getting involved in anarchy groups and generally just causing trouble and living the life of a motorcycle rider on the loose. It was only after an almost fatal accident that his reign of terror was ended and all assumed that he was dead. Only a year later he woke up in the hospital, given everything he needed to know but lost without his memory. The suits gave him the name Zius and he was referred to Richard King, where his life would be forever changed. The software and hardware are completely upgradable and customizable, so as a result he can receive these upgrades through various means, the most effective being either direct from the source, as in the government funded program, or the most dangerous, the black market.
Reason for Abilities: Zius was given many artificial implants as a result of the damage done to his body thanks to the motorcycle accident. His left arm was replaced with a cybernetic one, several ribs were replaced with the same alloy, and his skull and neck were repaired using the same alloy as well. Most of his skeleton has had extensive repair to it with the alloy to see if a human could survive such modification to the durability of the skeleton and his mind received a chip to increase the man's reflexes. His left lung was also replaced with a synthetic one
Other: As a result of his extensive modifications to his head and body, he randomly receives powerful migraines and chronic pain. As a result of this, he is addicted to painkillers and anything that can help him escape the pain.
