La Californie sourit alors qu'il entendait que l'exercice était maintenant terminé, en regardant le reste des robots baisser la puissance. La réponse immédiate de la Californie a été de prendre son casque, laissant sa barbe jaillir et scintiller ses cheveux en arrière. "Woo!" Il s'est exaspéré dans l'exaspération. "Damn, c'était un bon exercice!" Le freelancer a commenté. Il roula les épaules en sortant, se frottant le menton du coup du robot. Chi a finalement montré sa forme à la Californie, assis sur son épaule. Chi ressemblait à une jeune fille aux cheveux longs, complètement rouge et légèrement visible.
"Ça avait l'air de faire mal?" Chi a noté, en regardant la Californie.
"Hmm... eh bien, pas autant qu'il aurait dû. Avant le projet, ça m'aurait mis à froid." Il m'a expliqué. "Avez-vous quelque chose à voir avec ça?" La Californie a demandé. La fille s'est un peu perplexe.
"En quelque sorte. Je veux dire, tu es comme... un super soldat maintenant donc tu as les augmentations biologiques et l'armure n'est pas faite de mastic non plus, c'est un métal dur que tu as encaissé toi-même. L'IA a expliqué. Il semblait que l'IA californienne ne partageait pas le dialecte « professionnel et sans ton » commun que possédaient la plupart des autres AI. "Mais je t'aide aussi. On m'a dit que je t'avais... euh... de l'adrénaline, oui! Et cela vous hype vers le haut et, ainsi dit mes données, peut engourdir une certaine douleur aussi bien."
"Oui, l'adrénaline fait ça." Il répondit alors qu'il s'éloignait du champ d'entraînement. Il a bien regardé ses nouveaux coéquipiers. Tous selon les livres militaires hardasses pour lui. Ils voudraient tous s'en tenir aux « plans » et n'apprécieraient pas sa passion pour la « lutte contre l'improvisation » comme il aime l'appeler.
"Quoi? Tu ne les aimes pas?"
"Est-ce que tu viens de dire ce que j'étais... jamais pensé. Je ne vais pas poser de questions sur ce que je ne comprends pas. Et non, Chi. Ce n'est pas que je ne les aime pas. Ils sont tous capables et probablement juste un peu de temps avant de se réchauffer les uns les autres... mais ils ne m'apprécieront probablement pas. On m'a dit que j'étais... téméraire..." La Californie a admis.
"Ouais... vos dossiers, maaaaay l'ont mentionné." Chi gloussait. Arthur a lâché.
"Eh, peu importe." La Californie a ri. Il a vu un freelance qu'il n'a pas vu sur le terrain. Bizarre... il a vu tous ceux qui ont participé... mais pas celui-ci (). "Chi, qui est cette dame?"
"Je ne sais pas, je n'ai que des données sur vous. Je pense que c'est le Freelancer de Zeta. Mais c'est tout ce que je sais. Les AI ne sont plus autorisés à se parler." Chi l'a dit tristement.
"Huh, semble contre-productif de faire ça... vous vous en êtes dérangé?" Cali a demandé. Chi s'est contenté de hocher la tête. "Huh, merde, je vais lui parler." Il s'est dit avant de courir et de agiter sa main. "Ouais! Armure de reconnaissance!" Il a appelé, en utilisant le seul élément de description qu'il pouvait reconnaître. "Vous, euh, n'avez pas reçu le mémo? Il y avait un truc de formation que le directeur avait commandé?" Il lui demanda d'accrocher son casque entre le bras et la poitrine.
Full name: Arthur Jones
Code name: California
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Implanted A.I.: Chi- Excitement= Increases adrenaline, reflexes and speed during combat situations. Causes the user to become more aggressive and charge head first into combat.
Armour Ability: Disruption
Personality: California has two sides. Out of combat, Arthur is a friendly face around the quarters, who greatly enjoys conversation and very hospitable to the other team members. However, on the field, California becomes a force of destruction, always looking for the "Scorched Earth" option, much preferring blasting his way through the front door than stealth operations. He greatly enjoys training in all physical manners, and loves to practice hand to hand combat, wanting to prove that he is the strongest without any kind of boosters. He loves to ensue chaos amongst the enemy ranks, sending them into disarray as he rips and tears through them. However, his greatest passion is vehicles. He is a vehicle specialist and can pilot almost anything from warthogs, scorpions to hornets too. However, if he can dispose of it, it is most likely that you will find him soaring into the enemy base, surfing a mongoose as he fires blindly into the enemies, roaring triumphantly.
History: The Bear used to be a mercenary, shooting for the highest bidder and asking questions later. He was captured by UNSC forces at 17 after a mission gone wrong, and his contractor hired him to steal from a UNSC supply depot. He was caught carrying out ammo cache's with one of his cohorts. After being arrested, the Bear was kept for a year before a deal was struck. Volunteer for the Freelancer Programme or be sentenced to death for crimes against the UNSC and carrying out mercenary military contracts. The choice was obvious.
Arthur accelerated at all physical exercises, especially strength focused ones. As boots on the grounds go, Arthur was one of the best. However, his reckless behaviour from being a mercenary carried through, and in simulations, heading straight first into danger was his only plan of attack, much like an ODST drop pod. Sooner or later, the idea of stealth and tactics (as well as a respect for authority) was hammered into him somewhat, and through that, he got pretty handy with a combat knife. He also became extremely proficient in heavy weaponry, learning the ins and outs of weapons like Spartan Lasers, chainguns, Hydra Lauchers, Railguns and his favourite, the SAW. However, while also in the training simulations, Arthur found a knack for vehicles, and outside of simulations he was also seen in the vehicle bays, looking over every intricate part. Right now, his pride and joy is the "Chariot Of Fire". A custom Rocket Hog that he is working on, wanting to make it the fastest, most destructive warthog out there.
California is now a true Spartan, and his recklessness only ever comes to play when his teammates are in danger. He will follow orders with maximum efficiency and brutality. When you need siege, demolition and pure strength to punch through, the Bear is your call.
Weapon Loadout: Advanced SAW with lower fire rate but projectiles have a proximity-fused high explosive warhead. Commonly known as "The Answer". Custom Paintjob. Secondary weapon is a Sentinel class DMR with sentinel sight and silencer. Also carries a combat knife for CQB and stealth skills. He also has two M9 grenades and selects breaching explosives accordingly for missions.
Fighting Style: "CHAAAAAAAAAAAARGE!!!"- California's fighting style leaves a lot to be desired in terms of finesse. His love of heavy duty equipment such as heavy weapons and vehicles ensures brutal punishment to the enemy, either relentlessly sieging from afar or tearing through a corridor with a spray of rounds from "The Answer." One thing Arthur isn't is quiet. Well, he prefers not to be. He is capable of stealth but it is not his go to method. In close combat, Arthur deploys a boxing/wrestling approach, involving a lot of heavy strikes and grapples.
