History
Pre-Council
James Hunter was a 14 year old boy who lived in Voi with his parents, who were both in the U.S. Army and stationed at the nearby base. Growing up in a military camp, it was no suprise he became overzealous with guns. But one fateful morning, he was walking to a Denny's across the street from his house, when two men in Nebula Ajundant uniforms approached him and told James that they wanted to take him to a base in Nevada. They were interested in him because of his extreme accuracy with guns. He decided to go because he loved to fight and he loved to shoot. What he didn't know was that after they took him away, the Council murdered his entire family to cover any trace of the young war prodigy...
Council
While in the Council, he was trained extensivly and brain-washed through torture, but unlike most he moved up to a Vortex very quickly. At that point the Council offical Vandal appointed him his own secret assassin. James, with his expertise and love for warfare, exelled at war. He fought many battles and was honored by the Council. But he soon grew tired of the crap the Council was pulling, so he took out Vandal's whole division, but spared Vandal out of pity that his best creation is better than he is. He then ran away, and the Council started a worldwide manhunt.
Sky Raiders
While on the run from the Council, he went back to the Denny's he found the Nebulas at to find traces of the Council so he could foresee their next move. But there he met five men in Porter uniforms who asked him to join up with the Sky Raiders. They said they would hide all traces of him from the Council [they lied]. So he went with them to Faultline where he stayed for 1 year. As with the Council, he became a legend among the Sky Raiders. But the Council eventually caught up with him, and a massive fight started at freight lift C, with the Council and Sky Raiders both fighting each other for the ultimate marksman. But James escaped both groups by hiding in a secret room under the east facing ramp. He live in the secret room for many months. Then he went back to the Sky Raiders.
Creation of the Hunter Power Suit
After the Council James couldn't wear his heavy weight Vortex uniform out of shame and his Brigidier uniform was too light-weight for close combat. He decided to make a whole new set of armor. James used spare parts supplied by the Sky Raiders to make a harness that was light enough for flight, yet provided enough protection for close combat scenarios. He also included repair nanites and medicine injectors for quick-fixes in the heat of battle, storage devices to hold extra ammunition of all types, a targeting system in the helmet that can wirelessly uplink to the specialized guns he created, and augmutations to make him stronger and faster. He also added wings on the back for stability, but the main method of flight is his specialized rocket boots. He has since improved the suit, to the point where he has had to create a special diagnostics machine to quickly and efficiently repair it, and a second modem for intalling new upgrades to both the software and hardware.
Heroing Career
James was never meant to be a hero. While on the run from the Council, he had caused millions of dollars in property damage, and put several people in the hospital with near-fatal gun wounds. He was eventually taken down by the PPD and local heroes, and brought to court, where he was given two choices. He could either spend the rest of his life in the Zig, or perform community service the only way he could: become a superhero, with a fellow hero as a prohibition officer. Thinking he was making the smarter choice, James decided on community service, forgetting (or not knowing) that Ziggursky was notorious for being broken into every 5 minutes to allow the 'Destined Ones' to escape. He was instantly put on an online sidekick/mentor matching site, where the Red Komodo unknowingly got matched up with him. The two have since become close friends, although having major disareements on just about everything.
Personality
Gunner Of Paragon has a kick butt and chew bubble gum personality and he loves to shoot and kill as much as Rambo. He has the clumsiness of Dick Chaney so if your in Pocket D you better watch out! Also, James has injested so much biofoam and tequila, which doesn't mix well, that he has been proven to be both clinically and criminally insane
