Very nice job, I love the hands.

thanks 🙂 and yeah, you dont want to be on the receiving end of one of his punches! Super strength mated to twin power armoured fists…

 

After Zero escaped the base, he was badly injured, his armour was wrecked but he managed to fly away. Drifting in and out of conciousness he somehow managed to crash land in the Tibetan Mountains, where a group of shaolin monks found him. They took him to the temple after noticing his strange hair and eyes, after he came round the leader Grandmaster Whang Cho decided to help him out and train him in martial arts, and to restrain his spiralling powers, he found his “inner strength”, returning his hair and eye colour to normal, but keeping his powers.

LOVE THIS!!!

[Virtue]

Sweet dude! some great stuff here, are we going to see any villains? 🙂

[Virtue]

Ok now i understand masking I've gone and tweaked most of the characters, plus added in a few things, Im not attempting shading on the bio characters as that will take me forever, im only gonna do it on action shots

 

Ive also done Blane in his post-injected form….note the blonde eyebrows and green eyes which affect all people who use the serum, its sort of a mutated albinoism but only for hair and eye colour, sorta inspired by Dragonball Z…

An action shot of Zero

 

[Virtue]

I love your subtle posing! it must take ages to get it right

[Virtue]

yeah from what ive seen everyones really friendly and helpful! its a great community and theres some truely talented minds out there, heh maybe Marvel and DC should start looking at the fans for inspirations rather than rehashing the same old characters time and time again, bringing people back from the dead and what not, it really stretches the imagination too much, I like to think of semi realistic scenarios and although my world is pure sci-fi, im attracted to dystopian futures and the thought of hope and peace to come out of dark times.

[Virtue]

good stuff! you have some very original characters here!

Great set of characters and profiles.

thanks, I know its not superheros but there is a lot of fantasy and mythology in my work, later on in my story Zero and Fara break into LabTech headquarters and discover sinister links back to the Nazi’s supersoldier program, and how Zero may be a product of genetic engineering, his great grandfather is revealed to be a successful test subject all those years ago….

Anyway, ive got a couple more characters:

 

Name: Littlehawk Ramirez

Age: 26

Height: 6’6”

Weight: 110kg

Weapons: Mk3 laser rifle with undermounted grenade launcher, Uzi, Machete

 

Biography: Littlehawk is Ezekiel’s best friend, although not strictly part of the streetpunk underground scene, he was always there and sees him as a little brother, he comes from a traditional American Indian family and is always there to give advice. Like many teenagers during the ascention years that Labtech rose to power, heavy taxes, propaganda and high crime drove a lot of people to the streets, he still instills his values of life but feels the Company in control is wrong, and is prepared to fight against them. A huge character both physically and spiritually, he is the backbone of Zero’s crack team to take down LabTech, and he proudly wears the armour of a fallen marine in defiance (as well as being able to use his gun). He is a great tactician, leader, and a good friend. During a huge battle outside the companys headquarters, it was Littlehawk that held the soldiers at bay whilest Zero and Fara snuck into the building, he would put his life on the line for his little “brother” and Zero never forgets it.

redone Anarchy to show off his sword 🙂

[Virtue]

Name: Adam ‘Anarchy’ Wilson

Age: 24

Height: 5’ 11’’

Weight: 70kg

Weapons: 2x custom Glock 35mm semi-automatic pistols (concealed).

                 Custom built power-assisted double-edged sword.

                 Bionic implant: right eye, advanced sensors and vision modes.

                 Increased strength, speed, toughness and endurance induced by narcotics.

 

Biography: Like Zero, Anarchy lived as a street punk and took highly dangerous and illegal narcotics; he also found the right combination that boosted the human senses indefinably.

 

As a child he regularly stayed with his uncle Max ‘Damage’ Wilson, and at the age of 18 he moved out and Max took him in and trained him as a bounty hunter, like his uncle he is proficient with firearms and quick thinking. During his teenage years he along with Zero where prominent figures in the street punk scene, and both have met in the past, his Bionic eye was implanted as a fashion accessory, but later he had it modified so he could use it in conjunction with his weapons. He has violated many laws and has been a wanted man for many years, but like Zero, he has been able to somehow avoid the law.

 

His custom sword was bought from the Japanese black market and is a state of the art power-assisted weapon, easily capable of slicing through solid steel and piercing ceremide armour; he is a good swordsman but has had no formal training and relies on his increased speed and awareness to judge what any opponent will throw at him.

 

Because of Zero supposedly killing Max Damage, Anarchy has sought revenge and tracked down Zero. He took over the role of his uncle as a captor of him but in a fight Zero managed to reason with him and convinced him that it was in fact his employers LabTech that killed his uncle, not him. He later severed his ties with LabTech and he and Zero made a truce, with Labtech furious of his treachery his is one of the hunted along with Zero.

 

Although he and Zero made peace they weren’t exactly friends but when Zero contacted him about a mysterious woman called Flare, and that she nearly killed him he was intrigued as to who could best one of the most respected bounty hunters in the game. It all became apparent when he called him for help, and arriving on the battle scene she proceeded to torch him with her flamethrower, burning his uncle’s trench coat in the process; luckily he managed to take it off in time. The pyromaniac escaped, only to attack again a few weeks later, this time Zero mortally wounded her and seeing her weapon on the floor he quickly recalibrated the gas canister and gave her a taste of her own medicine, torching her alive. Both he and Zero fled the scene as Labtech marines homed in on their position.

 

It wasn’t until 3 months later that he found out she was NOT as dead as they thought and she was back stronger than ever.

[Virtue]

Name: ‘Flare’, Natalya Abromovich

Age: 22

Height: 5’ 5’’

Weight: 60kg

Weapons: Flamethrower, knife.        

After the fight with Zero:

Weapons: Bionic right arm with in-built flamethrower and razor sharp claws, 9mm pistol, increased strength, speed, toughness and endurance induced by narcotics.

 

Biography: A problem child from an early age, ‘Flare’ aka Natalya Abromovich came from a poor but caring Russian family in the town of Vladivostok. Her childhood was plagued with disturbing acts of violence; she sadistically killed the family’s pet dog and threatened her parents and other children at school with sharp objects. A school dropout, in her teens she became obsessed with fire and by the age of 16 she had burnt down her parents’ house, killing them along with it.

 

By the age of 18, she joined the crime underworld and became a hired killer, working her way up to a right-hand woman of a powerful Russian Mafia kingpin, who she eventually torched to death. Later she fled Russia, knowing the whole crime organisation was after her. She travelled to America and somehow found herself caught up with Zero; like many bounty hunters, Labtech employed her to kill Zero knowing her psychotic and pyromaniacal nature would be a huge asset. Her methods also include seduction and sexual acts to lure her target (be it male or female) where she can effectively kill them. With her fiery temper and unpredictable behaviour she is considered highly unstable and extremely deadly, Flare wouldn’t think twice of killing or burning anyone or anything just for her own perverse pleasure.

 

She took Zero by surprise and managed to badly wound him with a metal beam, it was only his increased healing factor that kept him alive long enough to escape. After informing Anarchy about her they teamed up to fight her, but after almost burning Anarchy she escaped to fight another day. She eventually faced Zero alone one more time but he managed to disable her flamethrower; with no time to fix it and only her knife to protect her she attacked head on only to be met by Zero’s blade, he severed her arm but she still kept on fighting, slashing Zero in the process. The intense battle ended when Anarchy took her by surprise and managed to douse her in flames from her own weapon and bringing her to a fiery death; a somewhat fitting end to their deadliest foe yet…

 

…Or so they thought. Unbeknownst to them her armour was flameproof but her face and head were badly burnt, she did however manage to survive; she was taken to LabTech and operated on, her severed arm was replaced with a deadly claw which had a flamethrower incorporated into its design, and by request the scientists administered a prototype drug which was being used in its Super Soldier program (stolen from Zero’s blood samples), she gained all the strengths Zero and Anarchy possess. With her armour upgraded and a sinister looking gasmask (to protect her face and hide her horrific scars) she was ready to kill her target once more, and get revenge on Anarchy for permanently scarring her. The whole transformation took just 3 months.
