Criminal Record: Interpol has a file on suspected ties with criminal organization in Europe used as an low level enforcer. No hard evidence to suggest that he willingly participated in these crimes.

Personality Profile: A resourceful and complex individual but has been found to be reclusive and shy around most people unless threatened by physical or emotional violence. His reaction is extremely negative and counters such a threat with extreme violence. Recent tests and procedures conducted by Cobalt medical and mental staff have conclude Odin suffers from post traumatic stress due to living conditions and a version of Stockholm syndrome from treatment suffered at the hands of his former owners. Once obedient but due to a mild psychotic break in the past the behavior controls that once governed him no longer apply. His behavior when in low to zero stress conditions, shows a more docile personality but skiddish at times. It has been recommended for further mental evaluations and limited contact with others until his threat potential and further treatment deem him safe to be around the student body without being accompanied by a chaperon. Odin suffers from night terrors and sometimes can be very territorial when it comes to his personal space. Fully able to speak but is known for choosing to say next to nothing when around others.

Physical Description: Odin appears no different than most people unless you pay attention to his fuchsia colored hair, cybernetic left arm bar-coded tattoo on his right cheek and a pair of kryptonite green eyes that glimmer in lower light levels. He had a tall cut build, built on a pair of overly broad shoulders that don’t seem to fit his body well enough. However his walk was stiff and ridged as if a relaxation of that posture would catch him a beating.Covering most parts of his body are old wounds and gashes along with the deep lacerations along the upper part of his right shoulder front and back where the surgical team removed part of his skeletal structure to fuse the implants for his arm. On his left pectoral muscle, in black ink, the number “8” clearly visible with the corresponding barcode under it. His strict sense of cleanness and order are very relevant to his fashion sense. Almost anything he chooses to wear is already perfectly ironed, even if the clothes themselves aren’t needed.

---------------------------------

Mutation/Powers:

Primary : Probability manipulation - with the ability to defy probability fields altering events occurring in their natural state or action. These changes however can only occur with decisions and actions effecting himself or directed toward him. Changing the probability fields of others and their actions is impossible for him to achieve. The major drawback to his ability is the more "good luck" he creates for himself an amount of bad luck restores the balance of his alternations. Example: narrowly avoids being struck with a chair, cuts his arm open on broken glass on the floor. The effect is sometimes disproportionate having no full control of the final outcome that returns the balance.

Secondary Teleportation- When focusing he can teleport himself and mass of equal size and weight of his own, a short distance from his previous position. It seems he is limited to line of sight only but can preform multiple umps in a short period of time. In his wake and arrival he leaves a small cloud of carbon dust scattered about. :[/b]

Tertiary Electromagnetic spectrum vision; Odin's eyes have the possibility to visually see several different types of light then the typical human. Radio wave, microwave, infrared, the visible region we perceive as light, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays. He can only perceive visually these waves like ripples across a pond at their source. (radio wave, microwave, X-rays and gamma) Things admitting such a signal, if not otherwise cloaked, will be visible to him at a distance.

Drawbacks/Weaknesses : His body, however in shape, is still able to be injured like anybody else. His mind is still vulnerable by means of physic attack. The same goes toward any resistance to energy attacks and exposure to the elements just like a normal person. he may fare better then most but he can be killed.

Skills: Odin primary training is in the means and method of physical security and bodyguard related training, basic first aid, Speaks fluent French and conversational Russian.

Background (Optional): Odin was conceived artificially using the latest methods of experimental DNA modification technology. The funded for the project came from several biomedical and defense contact companies in order to peruse the perfection of obedient subservient soldiers. The goal was to breed an subject with little need to eat, sleep, rest, relax or to pursue recreation. Being still in the experimental stage a surrogate mother was assigned to carry Odin to full term. His mother was claimed to have been liquidated some time after his birth. The mother was chosen to be a female mutant for security reasons. The thinking being she would be less likely to be noticed missing and the neglect/bigotry of local authorities to care if she died during the attempt. The whole purpose was to create the behavior experiments working out any kinks for further development of the program. In the future it was planned that some sort of birthing pods would be used, removing the need for the human element at all putting the program for mass production to outfit their willing clients.

Using previous data from the early stages of research in the states vastly increased the chances for success. With the introduction of experimental growth hormones, he reached maturity much quicker. There were considerable side effects but the subject discomfort wasn't brought into consideration during their use. Data from various sources produced by Felix Vos puts the man around the age of twelve or less. But Odin came out with full mental and physical abilities of an young adult. Further planning would have shortened the next generation down even further making a fully grown adult male/female in just under three years with the results of this case study.

Odin was treated like a piece of corporate property more than a living breathing being. Heavy physiological conditioning began the moment he was able to walk in order to solidify his loyalty. He was trained to follow orders from his superiors and to ignore the human elements of emotion and compassion toward others when doing his. The results of this are clear during his reoccurring nightmares of the tests they made him perform.He was freelanced in the field toward the later end of his stay in order to field test the results in real life conditions. For the most part it was success until the use of his powers at one point caused him to suffer the horrible cost of his left arm during an escape attempt. He almost died due to blood loss if he hadn't been resourceful and cauterized the wound with an acetylene torch before passing out from the pain. Other than simply retire Odin, his arm was replaced by cybernetic one on company orders. Odin was outfitted with an experimental prosthetic in order to test any change in his effectiveness to fulfill the task's assigned to him. The construction gives him two to three times the normal lifting and punching power of an adult male, about 500lbs, in his left arm.

It was only then did he start to suffer the long term effects of his captivity. At first it was small things by not following orders to the letter when instructed. Horrible nightmares and bouts of uncontrolled emotion were soon having the financial backers concerned the project and conditioning might become a complete failure in future units. However the board decided that phase three would soon begin looking to “retire” Odin and move forward no longer needing him. He was ordered into his storage tank for later disposal. It still isn't clear how the institute suffered such catastrophic explosion/fire several days later. Released documents from the follow up fire marshal’s report, showed the gas storage tanks exploded on site causing a chain reaction of other combustible/volatile materials within the building. The reaction was almost instantaneous preventing an evacuation. Most of the bodies of the on-site staff were never recovered or identified from the wreckage. When the dust had settled Odin was gone along with the future of the project. After some time Interpol started to receive rumors and descriptions of Odin popping up again working for several underground crime syndicates. Criminals were using his abilities and total physiological loyalty to their personal advantage. It was only after a few financial setbacks from his last set of owners Odin was put up for auction onto the black market like a slave. He was bought and sold several times, while in stasis almost becoming lost forever until recently seized from am illegal arms shipment bound for an unnamed war-torn African country.

The Department for Mutant Affairs has come to the conclusion that the US Government best course of action is attempted rehabilitation. Any evidence of crimes he may have committed in the past for any of his former owners was done under duress and will not be charged for them. However if Odin cannot be rehabilitated different permanent accommodations will be needed for public safety.

Quirks, Extras, Random Character Facts: Odin has gotten into riding motorcycles, Odin has a half Sister that he writes almost every day. Owns a pet Dune Cat named Rufus. Prefers the outdoors and the wild from the civilized world.

We're not able to approve this character right now as written, as their extensive military connection isn't something that blends in well with our current setting. We've found that heavily based government/military characters are difficult to play, at best, and at worst do nothing but cause issues all around.
