== Description ==
Steele is a little shorter than most Fomori, but he makes up for it by being broader and generally stouter. He's got a broad frame that makes most NFL linemen jealous.

He wears his hair in micro-braids that fall roughly to his shoulder, and keeps it died a dark purple that is reactive under black lights to make him glow. In normal light, he has faint green tatoos that are hard to notice, in the pattern of thorned vines running from his neck, across his chest and arms, ending at his waist. Under a black light these glow and are triggered to slowly move as though they are digging deeper into the skin.

When off the job, he usually wears a wifebeater and an old pair of matte black BDUs. He's reknown in the Seattle fighting rings and has a lifetime record of 86-5. Though he is recently "retired" from the sport after accidentally killing an opponent, he still occasionally will hop into a tough man challenge or free for all brawl to earn a little money on the side. Then again, maybe its just the thrill of it.

== Background ==
Steele grew up as a military kid. His father was a UCAS marine instructor, and constantly moved from base to base, causing Jason to spend most of his time around hardened (or hardening) soldiers rather than other kids. His mother died when he was three, so the little spare time his father had for him was all the home life available. To add to the lack of a traditional childhood, Jason's father was human and viewed Jason as fully grown at the age of eight despite his mental development. In his teens, Jason's father often brought him along to training seminars to get him trained up for a good military career.

Just as he had been trained for, Jason enlisted at the age of seventeen and went into the UCAS marine corp. He spent his first two years of service as part of a Chicago Containment Counterforce team. Due to the brutal nature of the job and the necessity to "eliminate" threats extremely often, the counterforce teams switch out every two years. He found his next three years of service to be served as part of a Special Operation Hostage Rescue task force designed to locate and retrieve captured, kidnapped, or "lost" UCAS VIPs. He was promoted to lead his own squad during a two year campaign in south africa before returning to the states for his father's funeral. Lost for the first time, he decided to try out the civilian life for the first time.

Liking the personal freedom, Steele felt lost without the general thrill that he got from the constant tension and adrenaline when in combat. He decided to channel this need into the newest MMA sport to hit the streets, "Breakneck". Getting together with his old martial arts trainer, Steele found himself dominating the sport. Within two years on the scene, Jason Steele was a household name for anyone with an interest in fight sports. With an astonishing record of 85-5, Steele was forcibly retired, or banned, from future Breakneck events after a controversial accident that resulted in the death of crowd favorite Jimmy "Broketooth" Boleson.

Weeks after the event, which was being called a brutal massacre by the media, Renraku hired Steele and announced him as the "head" of their new High Risk Threat Management team.

== Concept ==
Jason A. Steele is an ex-marine and an ex-MMA superstar. He's been trained with basic assault weapons and in advanced hand-to-hand techniques for disarming enemy combatants.

== Notes ==
+3 Strength when in Armor
-4 to spot character Visually when in Armor
-6 to spot character Visually with Thermographic Vision when in Jumpsuit
Strength of 30 (36) when breaking down doors. (in armor)
-1 to attacks when wielding Ballistic Shield.

From the stat's it looks like he took it Second Hand, just didn't get marked on the table.

Character looks good to me, though I might suggest investing in some Fully Lethal grenades to go with the Less-Than-Lethal stuff you have?

And yes, I realize the irony of a GM saying that.

Availability of rating 4 muscle toner/augmentation and suprathyroid gland is 20 (19 as second hand). You need 15 BP for 3 times restricted gear.

The campaign has special rules, and one is that starting gear has the restriction requirements waved.

That armor is why it is a BAD idea to waive availability restrictions entirely...

Oh, no, it just means they're going to get in the thick of it that much sooner... after all Sader-Krupp isn't going to give runners all that gear just to do milk runs.

Okay, S-K is run by Lofwyr, who is the master of the Long, Deep, Subtle Game, so they might... but only if it was for a very good reason we'll figure out later.

Well you can still get it at character creation normally with Restricted Gear. Its availability is only 20.

Made a few changes to him. Changed him to a Fomori to get just fraggin big feel without the completely troglike appearance. He's geared about 90% toward non-lethal options, but he has a few balls to the wall ways of dealing with bad situations (Hi-Powered BR, Ringu gas, Hardliner gloves).

I've still got 15 BPs to play with (Campaign gives 400 BP and 250k for free) and am stuck with what to do with them. I'm considering Fame to fit with his background, but am also looking at upping SURGE to take Celerity.

I'm going to allow the Ringu, since S-K is on the books as loving its chemical warfare, but remember to be careful of what's down-wind when you pop that thing.

As for your darts... why Nova Scorpion venom? Were you looking for something slow-acting to assassinate someone with? If not, I'd recommend going with either White Star or more Ringu.... and, whatever RAW may say, I'm ruling that any Contact poison also includes Injection as a vector, since you can't bloody well inject something without the person being injected coming into contact with it.

Also, if you take the SURGE Class III, that gets you an extra 10 BP of positive Metagenetic Qualities for a net cost of only 5 BP (I'd suggest "Unusual Hair" for the extra 5 BP of Negative MGQ, since you dye it anyway). Do that and add Metagenetic Improvement (Agility) for 10 extra BP. That would raise your minimum and the natural maximum, which would bump your Hard Cap up to 9, which you could get with an easy 20 karma.

The Ringu is meant for a last ditch the shit has hit the fan occurrence (that's why he only has one). He's extremely professional (read as non-lethal) for the most part, so I don't see him ever using it in an open environment.

The Nova Scorpion Venom is pretty much exactly for if I need something slow acting. I've got several clips of lead if I need an immediately damaging "toxin".  8) Nothing like having an antidote to waive over someone's head.

I went with Fame and Martial Arts and tossed the last bit of Surge into Celerity and Balance Receptors. Base run rate of 52 meters and running of 22 dice means he can run a 45 second kilometer average (1 minute 14 second mile) or in other words 80 kilometers an hour (50 miles an hour). Damn that's fast.

I figure I can always snatch up Genetic Opt later to raise my cap.
