Powers And Abilities
Strengths:
StrengthStrong guy is strong.
Predator is incredibly strong, and stands much taller then a human, at around 8 feet in height. This gives him an advantage in melee combat, as he is able to throw most normal humans round with ease. His people are strong in general, but he is conditioned to the hunt, and as such his strength is above average for his species, the Hish.
AgilityCan climb stuff like a goddamn lizard.
Predator can climb quite nimbly. He prefers the trees and rooftops for chasing and cover, and can clamber all over them like he's got sticky pads on his feet. When climbing trees, he uses all fours rather then climbing like a human or monkey.
IntelligentSmart as can be.
Maybe not smart in the particle physics sense, the Predator is more adept at hunting strategy and technique. He's clever enough to build traps, and notice other people attempts to stop him. He can track well, and use higher grade tech. Very strategically minded, he's able to work out the sneakiest plans of attack with ease and applies this like a hunter or assassin.
Camo
Predator has a partially functional camo/invis unit on his arm. This allows for short bursts of near invisibility, though his outline is still visible and the projected image hiding him is slightly blurred.
Weaknesses:
Heat visionSees in heat.
A Hish's vision is entirely in the infrared sprectrum. They can track heat sources in the environment but have trouble distinguishing between things with the same relative temperature. This vision, though useful for stalking prey, becomes a problem when the prey learns and hides in water, or covers themselves in mud. If the environment is hot as well as the things Predator is tracking, he is practically blind. For this reason, the hunting helmet most Hish wear helps to distinguish between heat sources by reducing the interference from environment.
LonerForever Alone Alien.
Having been sent to Earth to hunt, Predator was entirely alone for a long time. Due to his frightening appearance beneathe his hunting helmet, he has trouble acquiring allies (even if he actually wanted them), and trouble being accepted in societies, even if he's just looking for supplies.
Lack of armourStab the squishy bits!
Although his head and shoulders are heavily armoured, the only other real clothing he wears is the sheaths for his claws and some plating around his groin for protection. The rest of his body is covered in a widely spaced netting which provides no protection at all, with only the odd trophy skull hanging from it. These points provide ample targets for his foes.
Weapons And Equipment:
[/size]
LaserSome shooty thing. PEW PEW PEWWWWWW.
Predator has a shoulder mounted laser, that blasts the enemy with blue energy. It has different levels of strength, and can range from a sting, to wounding. Thankfully, Predator's highest level of laser power that instantly kills humans was disabled by the Game Master, as it was no sport. The laser takes a few moments to lock on with the tri-laser-point sight from Predator's helmet.
ClawsPerfect for stabbing.
He has wrist mounted claws on his right gauntlet which can be sheathed and unsheathed. They are long and sharp and perfect for melee combat.
HelmetWhere'd you go? Ah, there you are! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA LOLOL PRERECORDED RESPONSE!
The hunting helmet Predator wears features several useful bits of tech. Firstly, it has the laser guidance system for his laser mounted on the top. Second, it filters out background heat to allow Predator to see prey more clearly, unless it has a similar heat to the background environment. Thirdly, it allows the analysing and recording of voices and the playback of these voices.
Personal Information
Personality:
First and foremost, Predator is a hunter. His people take great pride in the hunt, and enjoy it immensely. They like to play fair, and this particular Hish will not hunt an enemy who is weaponless. He likes the odds to be fair, and has even been known to discard his weaponry to fight his foe evenly. He knows his own strengths and knows humans are weaker then himself. But if they are armed, he stays armed himself.
Equally, he can be a cruel bastard. Predator is known to leave remains where other humans can find them, often skinned or the head removed as a trophy. And speaking of trophies, he's very fond of his prizes. Human skulls rest neatly in his collection next to the skulls of animals. To him it's all a game, and the humans are his prey. After all, are the Hish not a superior race and are humans not simply animals compared to them?
Predator is of course loyal to his race, but stuck alone out here, he's had to make some sacrifices. There is a fifty-fifty chance of someone becoming his prey. The alternative is a temporary alliance for mutual benefit. After all, there are things other then food he requires, and hunting humans does not provide everything. He is quite a loyal male, so if you do miraculously manage to get Predator onto your side, he will be faithful and is unlikely to betray you.
Predator has also learned to speak some english, though this is under a thick accent that is quite hard to decipher, and is full of the usual clicking and chattering of his species' own language. Thankfully he has a few prerecorded snippets for simple responses such as yes, no, etc.
History:
Nearly killed Arnie, lol!
Predator was dropped off on Earth by his people, the Hish, to hunt humans. As an ordinary Hish simply kitted out with hunting equipment, he was there to hunt the humans in the rainforest and to collect trophies for his extensive collection. His people had dropped hunters off here for the longest of times, and they had hunted until they were saited, before being picked up and returned to their homeworld in glory.
However, this particular Predator finally met his match. A group of special forces extraction soldiers crossed paths with Predator. Of the seven men and one woman, he managed to kill six and add their trophies to his collection. The woman escaped, and the final man proved his worth in a spectacular fashion by taking advantage of Predator's poor vision. He was defeated and yet was not entirely unhappy with his death.
The Game Master thought it would be amusing to pull the Predator into his game in the last few moments before his death, returning him to health and unleashing him on his world.
Sample Post
[/size]
There was a soft clicking in the quiet night. The prey did not hear, the prey did not move.
The hunter stalked through the trees, alert and tense, his muscles screaming to be unleashed upon his prey. But he did not allow it. He singled out his target from the other sources of heat in the dark forest, his helmet providing a neat targetting reticule, the laser on his shoulder primed and ready. But no, oh no, he wanted it to be fun. A game, a hunt.
He dropped silently, like a shadow, to the forest floor, moving through the grace with ease, and slowly unsheathing the claws mounted on his wrists. He could see the heat, feel the warmth. Adreneline pumped through his veins and it was nothing but pleasure to the Hish as he finally came within striking distance. His prey was oblivious.
Then he moved, and a single slash brought down the beast. It roar in surprise but quickly crumpled under Predator as he straightened, a soft, chittering laugh leaving him. Another trophy, and another thing that was no match. He swiftly cleaved it's head from it's shoulders and with it in hand he launched himself back up a sturdy tree trunk and into the branches to process his prize. Let the ants feast on the rest of the remains. He was not hungry today.
