Powers
Edhie has the ability to manifest flames ranging from harmless 400 degrees celsius to about 2000 degrees celsius, with a higher amount of heat the more energy he expends. The flames may appear at any part of his body, and he uses it to supplement his exceptional prowess in CQC, or close-quarters combat.
He also has a veil of free electrons circling about his body, powered solely by solar energy. The membrane of free electrons obey his will psychically, often instinctively preventing any harm done to his person. Due to the very nature of his power, he has the most resistance against pure energy-based attacks. As an added boon, his solar-powered veil has the ability to absorb and bend light, rendering him effectively invisible to the naked eye. His energy-based powers also allow him to float, though without thrust he cannot move in the air.
Aside from his mutant-based powers, however, he has extensive training in firearms, ranging from sniper rifles, assault weaponry, heavy weapons, and small-arms. He also has training in knife-combat, learnt several forms of martial arts, has extensive training in demolitions and has some skill in stealth and infiltration, making him a versatile member of any assault team.
His mutant powers also grant him nigh-immortality, aging very, very slowly. He also does not feel the urge nor the need to eat; the only substances he consumes are the many cups of coffee he goes through each day. He drinks on average about fifty cups per day, more if he has done a particularly arduous job.
History
Public History:
He is a notorious mercenary who specialises in sabotage and search-and-destroy; any job he takes invariably involves a building or complex being blown up, or its occupants all eliminated. He doesn't seem to show any sort of remorse; really, he doesn't show much of any emotion at all. Those who have dealt with him before have noted that he does not change his expression, nor does he change his tone of voice. He seems to live nowhere, with no address registered under his name. Contacts are advised to call him instead. He also advertises himself as an ex-Kopassus or Komando Pasukan Khusus(Army Special Force Command) of the Indonesian army.
Those who have met him often report of his extreme need for coffee, often drinking fifty each day. Some say that is the only thing he consumes.
Private History(Possibly obtained through digging):
His other identity is Edhie Marawilang Renhart, an ex-Kopassus wanted for treason, seven counts of arson, fifty counts of murder and twenty counts of manslaughter. He went renegade in 1972 after the Kopassus framed him for an assassination of an entire platoon of army personnel who were about to confess to corruption amongst the ranks of the army, as well as multiple civilians in the vicinity. He left Indonesia thereafter, though not before destroying two military barracks in protest.
He travelled around the world for several years after, under different aliases, acting as a soldier of fortune and lending his extensive services to many people. He had served as security personnel in the Vietnam war and was present for many of the armed conflicts of the world from the 70s onwards. At the turn of the millenium, he finally arrived in the Rogue Isles after Arachnos took effective control of it, with Interpol hot on his heels.
He joined a small mercenary company named 'Fury', who harboured him and helped him disappear from the public eye, in exchange for working for them full-time. For a while they worked together, but after a failed mission caused all other members but him to perish, he disappeared on his own from the public eye, this time as if he left actually left the Isles. However, after a few months, he surfaced once again, this time joining the Pro-Evolved Nation. After Nation itself seemed to be inactive, he too disappeared, and only recently has he surfaced, of all places, in the Pocket D Club.
It is noted that he has aged little since going renegade. In fact, he has not aged much at all since then, with his file photo from his induction into the Kopassus being completely identical to his current file photo in the Arachnos databases.
Affiliations
He has been with too many organisations to list them all down. In all of them he has a different alias. Below are several of his affiliations and his aliases under them.
Kopassus - registered as Edhie Marawilang Renhart
Fury - Eddie Renhart
Various Private Security Companies - Eddie Renhart
Nation - Vigiles
Traits
-He is completely unable to feel emotion, and therefore unable to really bond with people. He has tried to overcome this limitation in an attempt to bond with others, but it seems to be ingrained in his genetic structure and psyche. Therefore, to this end, he resorts to sarcasm and deadpan humour.
-He does not have the need to consume nor defecate to survive. It makes playing sudoku puzzles much easier, he says.
-He likes Coffee.
-He likes Coffee a lot.
OOC notes
This character came about as a result of me wanting to try an energy shield brute. His first outfit was reminiscent of Ralf Jones from the Ikari Warriors and King of Fighters, because he just looked so damn cool. His second costume is a carbon-copy of M.Bison(or depending on where you lived, Balrog)'s outfit, because he too was just too damn cool. I might make an original outfit for him sometime. Maybe.
