Desmond Cain – Alpha 906
Sex: Male
Age: Late Twenties
Ethnicity: African-American
Appearance:
Hair: Dark Brown
Eyes: Brown
Scars: Several on his arms and face from various fights and altercations from his childhood as well as incursions during his military service as an adult. He also has an injury just left of center on his chest, when he had been shot in the chest while by a mutant.
Basic Sentinel Upgrade: All Alpha Sentinels are gifted with standard upgrades. They are given bio-mechanical upgrades to their musculature to increase strength and durability. They have the ability to fly via projectiles located traditionally in their feet. Sentinels are given mental upgrades, making their minds essentially computer processing units. Armor is in place over vital organs and functions giving them an increased durability over standard humans. They also have mutant detection, tracking and identification software uploaded directly into their mind. They also share a communication network, allowing them to communicate with one another and seize control over the more traditional Sentinel Weapons. They are given an up link system traditionally either in the neck or left arm to allow for software upgrades and access to machines they come into contact with in their missions. Each Prime Sentinel is outfitted with an additional power unique to itself, designed to make them the ultimate in Mutant Killing Weapons.
Basic Sentinel Weaponry: All Alpha Sentinels are given standard weapons upgrades. Both arms are replaced with mechanical limbs that have high powered energy blasters in each palm. They are given a shoulder weapon, a traditional gun style weapon. They are also outfitted with a limited number of grenades in various types, a standard Alpha Sentinel can only carry four grenades at any one time. The bombs can vary from traditional grenades to smoke weapons.
Powers: Desmond has been genetically modified with the ability of short-range teleportation. He has never successfully teleported more than himself and one other person more than a couple hundred feet, but can do so instantaneously. With this ability in mind, Desmond’s mechanical upgrades have been built smaller and slimmer than some of the other Alpha’s, making him much more agile and able to take on some of the speedier mutants they come across.
Power Limitations: All Alpha Sentinels have two major limitation points, being still partially human they have a functioning heart and an additional power source. If one or both of these is destroyed, the Sentinel would be destroyed. They also still maintain some human thought processing and personality, this can cause for rejection of various software as well as the human mind making critical errors. If a Sentinel is badly damaged, a sub-routine will take affect making them leave the area. They can also be killed in traditional fashions, burning, beheading, etc.
Background: Desmond Cain was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan to a hard-working set of parents who wanted nothing more than for their only son to be better for himself than they had. Day after day he watched his parents struggle, jumping from job to job and home to home just trying to make enough to pay the bills. For years, he’d felt helpless in their struggle, too young and too naïve to do anything to help them. It wasn’t until high school that he found a way to help his parents. He fell in with a local gang and started boosting cars for cash with a chop shop in his neighborhood and convinced his parents that he was working a job at a diner. At seventeen years old, his lies finally caught up with him when he unknowingly tried to steal a car of Lieutenant Jonathan Davis, who happened to be home on leave. Seeing the ends the young man went to for his family, Davis felt pity on him and took him home, offering his parents, and Desmond, an opportunity. Have him enlist in the U.S. Army and get some discipline in his life, and he wouldn’t press charges. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, Desmond accepted.
The military wasn’t as easy as they made it seem on TV and Desmond, an athletic child to begin with, found himself in better shape than he’d ever been before. He learned a plethora of close quarter combat techniques as well as the ins and outs of every standard issue firearm they had available. He rose through the ranks and became a proud Sergeant in the Army in due time. While home on leave, visiting his parents, there was a break-in at their home and when he went to investigate, he found a kid with bones growing out of his arms and neck trying to steal their tv. He struggled with him and, when all was said and done, he lay on the floor with a gaping hole in his chest, bleeding on his parents’ new rug.
When Desmond came to he was in a hospital he didn’t recognize being checked on by a doctor whom he’d never met before. His left ventricle had been punctured and they had had to perform a very experimental surgery to repair it. He was to become the next Alpha Sentinel. It was either that, or die there on the operating table. Needless to say, Desmond agreed to the terms.
Personality: Despite his rough childhood, Desmoond has always been a kind and warmhearted individual. He has a great sense of humor and always tries to help out the rookies and younger folk on his squad. When it comes to mutants who don’t know how to keep to themselves and follow the law (i.e. all of them), he has no compassion or patience. He follows orders to a T and never fails his mission.
Special Notes: Model is Columbus Short
