In
most initial meetings Loki comes off as guarded but keenly observant, though
those who know him would say he’s flippant and unabashedly irreverent. After
extensive training with ex-Terrene much of his youthful naiveté has been
cauterized and burned away. For instance, while he knows brutally injuring
someone or taking a life should matter beyond the immediacy of the moment, such
commonsense concepts like judgment and self-recrimination evaporate in the face
of necessity.
If he has an Achilles’ Heel
it is that emotionally he’s still roughly on par with a sheltered teen who
possesses a sheathe, intellect and capabilities that are beyond his actual age.
His trust is not easily
gained, but once gained is just as difficult to lose. If he feels taken
advantage of or used however he can be as thoroughly vindictive as any soulless
backstabbing Corpse. |

Rowan possesses an uncanny
osmotic talent and intuitive understanding of technology, specifically in
relation to Void related concepts and the mind-machine interface. His intuitive
knack also extends to hacking, ciphers, system exploitation, problem solving and
coding. He could speak several different languages fluently and held PhD degrees
in a plethora of Void, programming and cyberdeck related architectural sciences
before the age of 9.
Naturally intuitive in more
technical arenas, he spent 2 years as a disembodied sentience in a hacker’s
cyberdeck and another 4 growing accustomed to his new sheathe and being trained
by three ex-Terrenes. Terrene training involves figuratively sandblasting a
recruit’s psyche and rebuilding it from scratch. The end result is a lethally
capable intuitively aware soldier that is such a potential threat that they are
banned from residing on Earth, serving in a corporation or politics.
As a pseudo Terrene his
intuitive talents have been further enhanced and have been hyperactively honed
to the extent that he easily rivals the capabilities of his teachers. Trained to
utilize most forms of actual and improvised weaponry, multiple forms of martial
discipline and a plethora of related, more specialized skill-sets, his
capabilities are a double-edged sword. Despite the fact that he is not an actual
Terrene, the standardized tests that most corporations require would more than
likely register him as such, and earn him exactly the kind of attention he wants
to avoid. |
