Nicolas Ninjitsu - refined

character: color refined rendition of Nicolas Ninjitsu from "Reactor Roboforce"

Nicolas Ninjitsu is one of the youngest and most skilled of the Reactors' elite Special Forces Unit, who transferred there after a tour of duty in the Intelligence Corps. When the Reactors' starship crash landed on Earth twenty years ago, Nicolas decided to submerse himself in learning our planet's popular culture. While disguised as a human traveling to Japan, he went across an electrics store and saw a popular Ninja anime series on one of the store's TV sets. Nicolas was fascinated with the unique fighting moves and stealth reflexes of the anime characters that he researched Ninja culture as read the whereabouts of a ninja master living outside Tokyo. He decided to met him to train in the ninja arts. After years of training, Nicolas returned to America, where his Reactor comrades used their hidden base under the watchful eye of Dr. Benton O'Connell, and practiced his newfound skills to fight crime and subdue the average purse-snatcher and bank robber without blowing his cover as one of the local citizens. He further use his ninja knowledge to upgrade his weapons and fine-tuned his robotic body with invisibility optical camouflage emitters change his Earth-given last name to "Ninjitsu". Set to the present day, when the Desolators arrive in Earth in intent to destroy the last surviving Reactors and to plunder Earth’s natural resources for their sinister uses, Nicolas is now determined to employ his ninja fighting techniques to continue his war against the evil oppressors. He now is promoted as a member of newly commissioned Reactor leader Atom Smash’s main combat unit, the Reactor Roboforce.

Nicolas is a quiet individual, a young man with little words and more action. He frequently conditions his mind, body and spirit with the techniques he learned from his Earth master. Always professional as a soldier, Nicolas keeps perfecting his razor-sharp talents between battles and hopefully give him the advantage over his adversaries. Unfortunately, such dedication often distances him away for socializing with his fellow Reactors, who complaining that he has no free time to chat of make friends with the others. No matter how you look at it, Nicolas is going the extra mile to win battles and to annihilate his foes with deadly precision, even if he does not have time for more peaceful activities. His favorite hobby is collecting Japanese and Chinese antique swords. Since he is a Reactor like his comrades, his only source for food is raw energy.

Like his race, Nicolas possesses an arsenal of hi-tech weapons, powers and abilities, including supersonic flight, super speed, enhanced strength and reflexes, the ability to survive space and underwater without the aid of breathing and protective equipment, invulnerability to conventional Earth weapons (but not to Desolator/Reactor munitions), hand repulsors that fire a wide range of beam projectiles and projected shields used for offensive and defensive purposes, and other hidden weapons like wrist missile launchers and robotic hands that can transform into grappling hooks and concealed beam swords and axes. His integrated visor is equipped with heads-up displaying, computer-access comlink and thermal and infra-red night vision capabilities. His cybernetic body can be upgraded with several hi-tech weapons attachments including heavy missile launchers and heavy arm-wrist pulse cannons. But despite all of that, Nicolas otherwise relies on his specialized weapons, which includes but not limited to: two customized katana blades which its’ metals can super-heat to extremely white-hot temperatures, making them capable of slicing even though the hardest Desolator robot armor like a hot knife through butter; dual wrist holsters that emits two plasma energy blades for close-quarters combat which can expand or contrast it’s length depending on the tactical situation; and concealed thigh holsters that carry a wide variety of smoke and flash bombs, throwing knives and shurikens, both in standard (made out of a special anti-Desolator armor metal and sharpened with lasers) and armor-piercing high explosive. His body is equipped with optical camouflage emitters capable of rendering him invisible to the naked eye. His palms blasters is additionally equipped with EMP (Electro-magnetic pulse) beams useful in medium-ranged sentry removal and disabling electronics. He is a master in ninjitsu and several oriental martial arts disciplines and trained in sword fighting and both bladed and non-bladed close-combat weapons. He is an expert in stealth, infiltration and counter-espionage tactics.
