Name: Edwin Dragoon
nickname: Captain, Admiral, Commander (Depending on the point of his career)
age: 23
power(3 max):
Command of Air via Nexus Energy (Levitation and Telekinesis, working on a similar principle)
Command of Advanced Engineering via Nexus Energy (Unnatural skill with vehicles and the ability to manipulate items of a technological nature
Manipulation of Physics via Nexus Energy
history/family: Edwin Dragoon is above all, an engineer. He was building revolutionary new designs for transportation long before he was a soldier. When the Construct, a group of robots with the intention of eradicating the human race began their invasion, the city of sanctuary became the last known bastion of human resistance. Over the mellinia, many humans had become attuned to a strange energy labeled "Nexus Energy" that appeared a century or so before the creation of the Construct. Those attuned to nexus energy can manipulate anything saturated in it as long as they command knowledge of the subject. For instance, someone who has extensively studied aerophysics and is attuned to nexus energies can manipulate air that is saturated with the energy. Nexus energy occupies the entire planet, but some areas have collected large amounts of it. If a large enough amount gathers, it has the possibility of forming crystallized nexus energy.
While these crystals can create very potent nexus manipulations, they are often too unstable and could result in a catastrophic singularity. Back to Edwin himself though!
Edwin's mother was killed during the initial conflict with a warring empire when he was 17. His father, Corwin Dragoon, was a farmer during his childhood, but joined the fighting forces after his wife was killed. He quickly rose through the ranks and by the start of the Construct wars was a High General, charged with the defense of Sanctuary and its outlying cities. His sister, Tiala Dragoon joined the military when she was 14, and was found to be extremely proficient with a blade. Now only 18, she is one of the most deadly forces that sanctuary has to offer. Irene Taylor is a lieutenant on the flagship of the Sanctuary air fleet. (Later during the war, she becomes Edwin's wife). Aaron Primose is Edwin's best friend and second pair of hands in his workshop, as well as the pilot of his flagship, The Adamant Drake.
appearance: Edwin keeps his hair very short, mostly because it gets singed off if he doesn't. Hes commonly known for wearing oil stained clothes, thick leather gloves, and patched up clothes with many many burn marks on them. He iconically wears his goggles above his eyes at all times, under the philosophy that you never know when you may need to weld something. Hes quite large, standing at about 6'10". He is also known to use a massive wrench used for creating airships as a weapon.
personality: Edwin detests the fame that comes with being a well known inventor and commander of the air forces of sanctuary. He does his best to stay away from people he is not familiar with, although he doesn't like to be alone. He is very stoic, and very brilliant. He is known for making very dangerous "ballsy" moves without thinking things through, which his quick wit allows him to get out of most of the time. When not in dire situations, hes never without a smart ass joke.
in character sample:
Edwin gritted his teeth as the explosions rocked the Adamant Drake. A construct drone menacingly towered over him, and with a thrust of his palm he sent it flying over the edge of the airship. "Aaron!" he smacked the crude 2 way radio, attempting to contact the pilot's chamber. The radio crackled back. "I read you Ed!" Edwin strapped his goggles over his eyes. "Whats the reading on nexus activity directly below the drake?" Silence for a moment...
"Ed...its off the charts!" Edwin flipped the channel over. "Irene! Take the Waltz and meet me at the warcamp on ground level! Trust me Irene!" He didn't have to to wait for a response, as another construct drone landed on the deck of the Adamant Drake, smashing and splintering the floor. He chucked the radio, and clenching his fist it exploded powerfully damaging the vital systems of the drone. He took a few deep breaths and made a mad dash for the front of the ship. Without pause, as he reached the very tip, he jumped. Now there was only half a mile of pure blue sky between him and the ground. He would have liked to have slyly smiled, knowing his plan would work. He screamed.
