CREED ON FILE:
“A letter undelivered is a voice unheard."

AGENT DETAILS:

On-the-job: Al is often seen cold, slightly distanced, and a little too enthusiastic at the worst times.  His superiors at Home Office have notated on his delivery record (both damning and commending) his willingness to simultaneously disregard the orders of superiors that he believes to be a disservice to the department, as well as his willingness to sacrifice what he calls “sub-critical” mission components or Postal Office assets in order to protect both Parcels and other Agents.

Off-the-job: While he carries Parcels while he is performing missions, Al is always carrying the ghosts of his fallen colleagues. As he is on The Final Delivery (the last known package in the Postal System), he rarely allows himself to relax, often feeling guilt or shame when he takes a moment to regain morale. When he allows himself this time and space, he enjoys sampling what few sodas and candies he can find in the wastes, as “sweets just don’t taste right in the Obsidian Cities.” While he won’t seek them out (at least he won’t admit it), he loves old-world comic books. “The superheroes we actually have in the Cities? There’s a reason we just call them metas. They just don’t measure up.”

AGENT ASSETS

ENHANCED PHYSIOLOGY: 

Postal Agents all have been provided an altered form of the super-serum Sukkar, known as “The Fields Shot”. This provides enhanced muscle mass, sensory capabilities, reflexes, and durability. The most recognized effect of the serum is the rapid healing; when a Post Agent is heavily injured and begins to heal, it appears as if they rapidly age, de-aging once healing is complete. 

INTERNAL NOTE: Agent Post has continually compared his abilities to a fictional character in a magazine book he salvaged on a Delivery named “Captain American,” though “much better at taking a bullet, but less capable of flipping a truck.” Home Office has advised Agent Post that he should not be flipping trucks and should be utilizing his equipment which he has previously praised as “like Judge Dredd’s.” Please review the agent's Delivery footage to determine who this Dredd individual is.

EQUIPMENT:

:

The Armored Cranial Sensory Module or "Ax'em" as many Agents have called it, provides unparalleled protection to its wearer through active application of the following features:

• The EAGLE-EYE Heads Up Display, providing the wearer not only critical field information, but weather conditions, health vitals, and active threat trackers. 

• A communications suite which allows the Postal Agent to communicate with Home Office, and other Agents in the field. (As Al is the Final Postal Agent, this feature is only useful for communicating with the Home Office through the Steamboat Satellite System, which is within Earth’s orbit.

• A helmet cam and audio recorder which allow the Agent and Home Office to re-visit the Agent's deliveries, as well as doubling as a "black box" system for fallen Agents.

• The helmet additionally provides standard protection, allowing agents to survive “small arms” gunfire, metahuman energy blasts. The full curved design allows for great protection against melee strikes to the head, as they glance off the rounded shape. (WARNING: Many Post Agents complain of “Achilles’ Glass Jaw” when wearing this helmet, as the wearer’s entire jaw is exposed. R&D is examining these complaints as of this time.)

UNIFORM 

-- The Postal Agent uniform is primarily for decoration and recognition of one’s authority as a Postal Agent, not defense. An Agent’s regenerative abilities and training should ensure that armor is not required in non-critical areas. So many Agents chose to violate policy by removing any of the available 3 pauldron patterns that Home Office changed policy, allowing agents to go without shoulder protectors, one of the few defensively beneficial articles of the Postal Agent uniform.

E-1900 PARTICLE EJECTOR, 'Pony Express'

-- The E-1900 is the standard-issue long ranged rifle for designated-ranged-delivery agents (the Postal equivalent of old military designated marksman.)

By utilizing a small Rift Cell inserted in the stock of the weapon, the rifle is capable of reducing any form of carbon into a devastatingly accurate and destructive particle beam. 

Note: All Postal Agents should consider Rift Cells as Class-S protected articles in regards to the handling and transportation of all associated materials, physical, digital, or psychic.

"Stamplicker" 

-- Stamplicker is a custom-modified double barrel 5 gauge shotgun. The gun was first created and wielded by Desmin Bright, a traveler Al met during a delivery in the Wastes. While the parcel made it to its destination, Desmin did not. While generally against policy, Al made an emergency acquisition of Stamplicker, and has retained it ever since, as he is unable to obtain Form 39-F (surrendering of an emergency acquisition) from the now obliterated Home Office. His love of Stamplicker has led to Al utilizing emergency acquisitions for a number of other civilian and military-grade weapons, including flamethrowers, explosives, drones, and at one point, a genetically modified toad.

TETHER SELF-DEFENSE HEAVY EJECTOR-27:
Postal Contract Variant (Codename: Letter Opener)

--  The HE-27 is the standard sidearm for most Postal Agents, with some field-deployed Agents preferring to forgo a long gun in exchange for two of the handguns. The platform features a standard 20-round caseless magazine, polynanosteel machine printed parts, with the hallmark feature being its ammunition: Tether's 27mm Heavy Ejector caseless cartridge, available in AP, incendiary, and meta-stopper variants, has ensured the successful delivery of numerous parcels. 

The weapon was first developed by Tether Self-Defense in reply to consumer demand for a sidearm capable of stopping meta-human threats. The Postal Agency extended a contract after a heavily ██████ successful delivery in which a Postal Agent used one of the handguns to deliver a ██████ donor organ to a [CLASSIFIED] individual, after being met mid-route with four gangs of meta-humans in the middle of a turf war. The Postal Variant features enhancements that feed into the Postal Agent's EagleEye system. Additionally, the weapon system is capable of utilizing 5-round traditional Tether 27mm Heavy Ejector cartridges when caseless ammunition is unavailable.

One, rare, sought-after variant is the HE-27++ “Post Master” pattern which features an onboard ammunition printer but suffers from massive overheating issues with sustained fire.

SJ-01  & SF-128
“ShortJet-SureFall”
MATERIEL DELIVERY SYSTEM

--  This system consists of a handheld transponder (SJ-01), often integrated into a Postal Agent’s glove as a wrist-mounted system, that communicates with a materiel-delivery satellite (SF-128). This system maintains a low-Earth orbit and maintains a supply of multiple forms of standard and special-issue Postal Agent equipment. Much of this equipment is manufactured using onboard automated fabricators before being loaded into orbital drop pods and delivered to Postal Agents in need. As Home Office has been nearly completely wiped out, this is one of the few services still (occasionally) at Al’s side.

The system was known for poor communication in bad weather or underground when it was being maintained: now it is nearly a blessing from above when equipment is finally delivered. Al onced received a crate of HE-27 ammunition 4 months, 12 days, 2 hours, and 43 minutes after he requested it.

WINGSOP [Weapons, Intelligence, Navigation, Guarantees Standard Operating Procedures]: 

All Postal Agents have been trained in WINGSOP: a collection of skills, techniques, mentalities, and mantras that have historically cultivated delivery of Parcels and survival of Agents.

Weapons is the study, maintenance, and use of a variety of Postal Agency-issued and non-issued equipment.

Intelligence is the ability to process, gather, and employ non-physical assets.

Navigation is the ability to safely ensure a Parcel may survive any terrain or environment with which it is couriered in.

Guarantees are the collection of mantras, meditations, and philosophies to ensure specifically the survival of the Agent and their respect of the Parcel.

AGENT DETRIMENTS: 

PSYCHOLOGICAL

Al will always choose to protect a Parcel or a civilian over another agent’s well-being, even his own. Al’s resolutions towards determining who to protect when a Parcel, civilian, fellow agent, and himself are all at risk, as someone must always survive to deliver the Parcel.

Al has Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder due to the loss of his many colleagues, his own violent acts, and his failures to protect and deliver.

Al is an alcoholic in recovery, having nearly been removed from the department in his early days after a failed delivery. This was doubly shameful for him as he enlisted within The Postal Agency in order to escape a family drowned by the bottle. Agent Post is documented as having four (4) recorded relapses, and is currently maintaining his third year without alcohol.

Al is sharp, but hardly a genius. He is no hacker, master tactician, or McGuyver - he is a courier first, a soldier second, a fan of sweets third, and a comic fan fourth, and he’ll happily tell you as much.

PHYSICAL

While the Fields Shot does increase Al’s durability, he is hardly invincible, especially due his lack of overall armor. 

His Achilles’ Glass Jaw is of particular note, as it is completely exposed.

AGENT SUMMARY

Maintained by Mailer Daemon

While Al was born Homo Sapiens Sapiens, he enlisted within the Postal Agency in order to seek a better, safer life. This led to undergoing his conversion into Homo Sapiens Libera. Due to the number of metahumans within the world, Al has reported he feels no less human after his conversion, though has stated that he missed dreaming, instead of mentally planning routes in his sleep. Unfortunately, Al remains the Final Postal Agent as all others have fallen in the line of delivery, leaving him the sole duty to complete the most important mission: transporting the Final Parcel to its destination.

It has been noted that he is always willing to hear a potential aggressor out, willing to “ask questions first, but don’t make [him] regret it.” It has been observed that he hates being seen without his helmet, as his scalp is covered in large keloid scars from being slammed through a TriPolyGlazz window as a child. He hates that he can’t seem to drop his smoking habit.

When observed, Al has been known to hum to himself, particularly while lost in thought on a delivery. He is a bit of a technophobe and luddite if it doesn’t involve Postal equipment, which adds to his hate for being in cities. Superiors and civilians have both noted that they felt threatened until he smirked at them, at which point they felt they had his full attention and respect. 

It has been noted that Agent Post maintains his posture and technique even under heavy fire, and this resolution towards a target or Delivery site has left fellow Agents or City-Approved Heroes unsettled, and may even be considered de-moralizing to colleagues.

Agent Post has attempted to remove this section from his Delivery Record multiple times. Reprimand upon return to Home Office.
