Gyrokinesis
James has developed the rare gift of Gyrokinesis, the ability to manipulate gravitational fields in direct and close proximity of him. For this strange talent the military recruited him to further investigate the possibilities of the ability leaving him with several applications to use on the field and in everyday life. By reducing gravity beneath him he’s able of jumping and leaping higher and wider distances as well as safely landing from great heights. Another use to Gyrokinesis by James is shifting the point of gravity letting him stand on vertical surfaces or even hang to the ceilings like a spider. There were distinct limitations identified to his ability, the range being the most important as his gravitational ability is only wieldable within handful feet…
Cybernetic Enhancement
After the feigned IED ambush in Iraq James underwent cybernetic modifications on behalf of the Delta Force Unit; experimental medical care was provided replacing the damaged internal organs with auxiliary organs and an artificial nerve system. This lead to James performances being at a Peak Human State; increased reflexes, enhanced endurance and sensory augmentation are but a few adaptions the Cybernetic Enhancements introduced in his life though at a steep price. Becoming vulnerable to electromagnetic pulses, his life is in grave danger with the auxiliary organs failing when exposed to powerful magnetic fields; he’s also dependant on his daily dose of AT Security SOP injections to keep himself mobile and operational…
Scanner Vision
Where his younger sister was capable of picking up on emotions and thoughts, James from an early age could sense who had dark and evil intensions that popped out the crowd through his eyes; included in his Cybernetic Enhancement was an amplification of his pre-existing talent as they’d installed a scanning vision system behind his right eye. Instead of now feeling who had crime and evil written all over them, James has direct access into international databases housing criminal and classified records including IAFIS, NICS, ICPO and CODIS. The information of a scanned person includes age, name, known aliases, criminal history and other classified intelligence the CIA and secret service has collected over the years…
Cyber Lingualism
Part of AT Security’s project that integrated the cybernetic enhancements within his body, the scanner vision they’ve injected James with a third generation nanomachines that link him to the SOP system; SOP or Sons of the Patriots is a high-tech classified project implemented within 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta soldiers that makes them the next generation of soldiers serving the flag. Through the nanomachines in his blood he’s synchronized with his squadron 1st SFOD-D allowing through short wave communication, letting him see, hear and communicate with his comrades in action without the need of any additional training or operational support. It permits him to speak to the members of his squadron, exchanging thoughts, ideas and tactics through a system that is the technological equivalent of combat-oriented telepathy…
Battle Precognition
Due to excessive training as a Delta Force operative and his natural adaptive abilities to other individuals’ emotions and thoughts James Wyatt has developed an acute form of Battle Precognition that allows him to read others' body language and anticipate their actions. When used in physical combat it gives an incredible advantage over most opponents, usually by either messing with them psychologically or predicting their movements. Combined with the Cyber Lingualism that enabled communication to all SOP system integrated soldiers, James can exchange and receive the information from his fellow operative giving them a perfect synchronized superior combat performance capability. As a solo unit it doesn’t offer a flawless precognition of enemy movements but still gives him a certain amount of combat anticipation predicting opponent movements in certain extend…

Sociability & Emotionality:
Sociability
James Wyatt hasn’t always been the person he is today, the private secretive individual who keeps his distance with the world and avoids social contact; before he enrolled in the military he was the stereotypical bad boy type that got caught smoking by the dumpsters between classes, making out in the principal’s office and setting trashcans on fire. He was a rowdy spirit notorious for getting in his fair share of trouble but the James Wyatt that returned to Hollows was an entirely different character after 9 years presumably death. He’s silent, organized and immaculately precise and thorough in everything he does. He’s become strict and distant, courageous and disciplined no longer the wild thing he was during his school days; James has become a hero and patriot for his country though not once has he considered himself to be a hero, a term he even loathes…
Emotionality
Emotionally James Wyatt is a wreck, a broken man that sacrificed it all for his country; family, friends and his name had all be discarded for 9 years in service for the flag, having watched the government burry an empty coffin bearing his name. It has left him isolated to the point he simply became a soldier rather than an individual, signing up for whatever clandestine jobs his country needed him to fulfill. He’d determined, patriotic and brave to the point of suicidal for that flag sown on his uniform. He has left behind his wild side for a more responsible outlook on life as he now understand the value of family and loyalty through the stern comradery of 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta...
One obvious distinction in his emotionality are the daily night terrors that keep him up at night; when the dosage of nanomachines in his blood are running low and the suppression of human emotions and oppressed memories is wearing down, James find himself bathing in cold sweat at the screaming recollection of all the bad things he’d done for his country. Every night he’s waking up screaming and kicking, his entire body reentering combat mode with adrenaline rushing through his blood when the AT Security nanomachines have nearly all disintegrated. The night terrors are only repressed by his daily dose of the covert syringes the military supplies him with after his retirement from the army. Exposure to sudden loud noises and surprising changes in his surroundings leads to a direct trigger of his combat instincts making his respond like in battle circumstances…
Strengths & Weaknesses:
Strength
Whereas he used to be the impulsive wild spirited bad boy, the James Wyatt that returned to Hollows is a responsible protective adult able of handling whatever tasks are put on his place; he’s become secure and steadfast in his ways, certain and determined in his decisions making him now a reliable individual to rely on. Even returning to his family that had endured the pain of burying their son, he’s committed to setting things right and being there for the people he’d left behind to serve his country.
Weakness
Having seen and done the things his country demanded off him as a 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta sniper, the burden of his past keeps stalking him like a haunting ghost that keeps him awake at nights and roams in his steps during the days. He might have left the war behind when boarding the carrier but the war followed him home with every car backfiring, every pan falling with a loud metallic clash on the floor and every person touching him surprisingly. The soldier instincts 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta taught him now are the very curse he has to live within the civilian life that no longer requires such demands…

Weapons:
FN SCAR-H Mk.17
Developed for USSOCOM's SCAR program, the Mk.17 is a variant of the highly modular weapon designed to be adaptable to future weapon upgrades thanks to its multiple MIL-STD-1913 mounting rails and a stock that is adjustable for both length-of-pull and cheek weld height. The weapon can easily be configured in mere minutes for CQC, tactical or precision fire thanks to its interchangeable barrels. It also is ideal as a PDW (Personal Defense Weapon) due to its compact size and design. It’s one of the rifles that James brought with him to Hollows…
Heckler & Koch Mark 23 SOCOM
The Mark 23 is the predecessor to Heckler & Koch's USP series of handguns. It is chambered for the popular .45 ACP cartridge and has a 12+1 round capacity. The SOCOM variant is a "weapon system" rather than just a pistol; the system includes the weapon itself, the AN/PEQ-6 Laser Aiming Module (LAM) manufactured by Insight Technology, and the large suppressor produced by Knight's Armament Company. While it met the accuracy and reliability goals, most operators in the field except James despised the Mark 23 for its poor ergonomics, size and weight…
Heckler & Koch MP7
The Heckler & Koch MP7 is a German designed personal defense weapon intended to provide military personnel - who are not issued service rifles - with increased fire-power, primarily due to the increased usage and proliferation of body armor; something which most service side arms perform less effectively against. It can utilize a 40-round magazine and it features an ambidextrous fire-selection lever and a rear cocking grip. It can also be fitted with several accessories, such as red dot sights and laser aiming modules. James prefers this light-weight PDW …
AMP Technical Services DSR-1
The DSR-1 uses a bullpup configuration, allowing a long free-floated 26" barrel within an overall length of 39". There is an extra magwell in front of the trigger guard; the metal frame includes a fully-railed top, for mounting optics and a specially designed rail. The bolt-action system, located behind the trigger and pistol grip, feeds from a 5-round .338 Lapua Magnum box magazine fed from the bottom of the weapon. In the rear, both the stock and cheek piece are fully adjustable and a monopod can be extended from the stock. A deathly tool in James hands…
Background:
8:03PM, Thursday April 19th 2003
The fluorescent light was flickering over my head, a brown document binder left unmoved on the table that stood between myself and Major General Eldon A. Bargewell; coffee gone cold, the plastic cup marked by a brown ring waiting as the stare-down continued for the eleventh hour of this mental duel. I’d been dragged away from my bunk at Fort Campbell in the midst of night, muscles still sour and aching from the last drill when a hood blacked out the world around me. The ride was long and uncomfortable as the plastic strap tying my wrist bit hard in the flesh of my lower arms as all but silence remained for three long hours. It wasn’t a secret where I was heading, I’d spotted the hints days earlier yet never held it possible until the moment that hood was pulled back and my eyes slowly adjusting to the light stared upon the decorated uniform of Major General Eldon A. Bargewell. There had been arguments made, offers extended and requirements demanded but above all there had been the strenuous pauses of silence that tested my patience…
The binder opened before my eyes, an entire dossier about my accomplishments as a marksman of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment codenamed Night Stalkers, classified medical information and an extensive background check on my family stood mockingly in my face; they knew everything, my younger sister’s secret, my father’s embezzlement and my mother’s love affair with M. Henderson that lived down the block of my home in Manhattan, New York. No surprise that they’d done their homework but even when knowing what they were capable off the immensity of the file was daunting on me as must have been noticed in the shift of my expression by the Major General. Another paper was pushed my way reading the death certificate of James Wyatt alongside an enrollment form into the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1st SFOD-D). One life about to end for another to begin in service of my country, home and family even if the latter wouldn’t be aware of what I’d do…
10:01AM, Thursday April 23th 2003
It had been four days since I’ve signed my paperwork of enrollment and surrendered my life for nine years to the 1st SFOD-D and AT Security’s latest military project but the hardest part of it all wasn’t forfeiting my own identity to the unit; worst of all was seeing the Casualty Assistance Calls Officer walk up to my front door, ringing the door bell and handing my father the triangle folded stars and stripes with the grievous news of my passing. Through the scope of my rifle I watched my sister break into tears, my loved ones’ mourning the death of their son as that sacrifice had to be made to ensure their safety from the enemies I was bound to make as a sniper for my country. I became a ghost, an operative merely mentioned in the classified dossiers as “Swordfish” for future reference while even my government would deny all ties should I get caught behind enemy lines; Plausible deniability is was the politicians called it, a safety mechanism that permits them to operate beyond the grasp of laws and far outside their boundaries without risking a diplomatic incident…
The Major General permitted me one last favor before getting shipped off to the Middle East as to attend my funeral but even in that moment, when tears were shed and kind words were about who I’d been in life I could make myself to face their grieved faces. I turned around never once looking or thinking back at what I’d left behind as I boarded the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk to Fort Bragg in North Carolina for the final phases of combat training. “Swordfish” they called me even when introduced to the fellow participants in the 1st SFOD-D and AT Security coalition that founded the Sons of the Patriots program; soldiers selected from various branches of the military each showing significant “abilities” for the army to exploit in combat circumstances. The implementation of SOP linked together each of the eight selected members through a nanomachines communication system into perfect synchrony. Eight months it would take enduring modifications and enhancements becoming part of the next generations US Soldiers to protect and serve the stars and stripes of this nation; a nation served in covert missions all classified for civilian and official eyes…
December 11th 2003 – February 26th 2012
4:17AM, February 27th 2012
The blades of the helicopter slowed down on a remote corner of the Hollows Airport as the chopper settled down on the ground while the side door slid open; the fresh mountain air cold and clean came to welcome him as three soldiers stood in formal salute to his arrival. A decommissioned HMMWV M1114 awaited him as with a seabag filled with the scarce personal items he’d gathered during nine years of service to his country. All his gear packed neatly in the wooden confinements of an A/R 15/Weapon Box that was already loaded in the back of the truck as after nine years he once more could walk outside the perimeter of a military base; all those years were spend in service of his country, one classified mission after another successfully completed only to be shipped out to the next foreign destination that needed the 1st SFOD-D services. Now he was just a civilian like everyone else with perfectly valid paperwork that described a modest career as an Iraq veteran serving 17 consecutive tours in the Middle Eastern warzones. The documents were a cover, an paper trail created by his government to explain his long disappearance as a soldier presumed to being killed in combat; details included imprisonment in a terrorist cell, gruesome torture that left him scarred all to mask the darker reality of his covert work with the 1st SFOD-D…
With a salute and a hug he said farewell to his squadron that had been cut down in half over the years, each of these rugged soldiers having become part of his family, a friend for life even if they were forbidden to communicate with one another after this day. Farewells never went easy on him, the last having taken him nearly three years to get over and they’d simply shared blood; these comrades had fought alongside of him, bled, killed and died in service of a flag that would never officially recognize their services officially. He’d been given eighteen distinguished medals for valor, bravery and courage each only briefly seen in the secluded confines of the Pentagon basements before they were storage away to forever being forgotten by all but the ones briefed on the missions. Now he could try and mend the pieces of the life he’d left behind as in the armed confines of the humvee that rolled down the highway to Hollows’ outskirts. Having friends in high places, NSA resources and contacts available had with some favors called in given him the address of his sister Madison. Her file laid next to him on the passenger seat, briefly read through from the corner of his eye to be updated on all the important things he’d missed in her life; graduation from Medical School, proud mother of a daughter Allegra at age 17 and recently being sighted with a boyfriend by the name Orion Thorne who’s criminal record was clean. How Maddy would react to seeing him again, he didn’t know but all he knew was that all these years apart didn’t take away the memories he cherished off her as her name stood inked on his arm…

The Major General permitted me one last favor before getting shipped off to the Middle East as to attend my funeral but even in that moment, when tears were shed and kind words were about who I’d been in life I could make myself to face their grieved faces. I turned around never once looking or thinking back at what I’d left behind as I boarded the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk to Fort Bragg in North Carolina for the final phases of combat training. “Swordfish” they called me even when introduced to the fellow participants in the 1st SFOD-D and AT Security coalition that founded the Sons of the Patriots program; soldiers selected from various branches of the military each showing significant “abilities” for the army to exploit in combat circumstances. The implementation of SOP linked together each of the eight selected members through a nanomachines communication system into perfect synchrony. Eight months it would take enduring modifications and enhancements becoming part of the next generations US Soldiers to protect and serve the stars and stripes of this nation; a nation served in covert missions all classified for civilian and official eyes…

The blades of the helicopter slowed down on a remote corner of the Hollows Airport as the chopper settled down on the ground while the side door slid open; the fresh mountain air cold and clean came to welcome him as three soldiers stood in formal salute to his arrival. A decommissioned HMMWV M1114 awaited him as with a seabag filled with the scarce personal items he’d gathered during nine years of service to his country. All his gear packed neatly in the wooden confinements of an A/R 15/Weapon Box that was already loaded in the back of the truck as after nine years he once more could walk outside the perimeter of a military base; all those years were spend in service of his country, one classified mission after another successfully completed only to be shipped out to the next foreign destination that needed the 1st SFOD-D services. Now he was just a civilian like everyone else with perfectly valid paperwork that described a modest career as an Iraq veteran serving 17 consecutive tours in the Middle Eastern warzones. The documents were a cover, an paper trail created by his government to explain his long disappearance as a soldier presumed to being killed in combat; details included imprisonment in a terrorist cell, gruesome torture that left him scarred all to mask the darker reality of his covert work with the 1st SFOD-D…
With a salute and a hug he said farewell to his squadron that had been cut down in half over the years, each of these rugged soldiers having become part of his family, a friend for life even if they were forbidden to communicate with one another after this day. Farewells never went easy on him, the last having taken him nearly three years to get over and they’d simply shared blood; these comrades had fought alongside of him, bled, killed and died in service of a flag that would never officially recognize their services officially. He’d been given eighteen distinguished medals for valor, bravery and courage each only briefly seen in the secluded confines of the Pentagon basements before they were storage away to forever being forgotten by all but the ones briefed on the missions. Now he could try and mend the pieces of the life he’d left behind as in the armed confines of the humvee that rolled down the highway to Hollows’ outskirts. Having friends in high places, NSA resources and contacts available had with some favors called in given him the address of his sister Madison. Her file laid next to him on the passenger seat, briefly read through from the corner of his eye to be updated on all the important things he’d missed in her life; graduation from Medical School, proud mother of a daughter Allegra at age 17 and recently being sighted with a boyfriend by the name Orion Thorne who’s criminal record was clean. How Maddy would react to seeing him again, he didn’t know but all he knew was that all these years apart didn’t take away the memories he cherished off her as her name stood inked on his arm…
