Verrick is a Rare breed of Human, an AbHuman of the New Covenant, so called because they are abnormal from regular Homo Sapiens. He is not the only of his kind but is rare none-the-less. He is no mercenary, but knows his way around a forge and weapon assembly, as it is his craft, but when it comes to combat his choice is a shield and Auto-Flail a rare kind of specialized Melee weapon that sees little use besides a curiosity from the New Covenants past. His true passion is the craft of shaping rare and fabulous metals into armor or weapons for actual use or simply to hang on a wall depending on the customer. He is also an avid miner, constantly in search of rare metals for his craft and is the reason knowing how to fight has become important having to deal with pirates or strange beasts that could harm him while he tries to find the mother lode.
Description
Verric Stands at 6'2" and is muscular from his work as a blacksmith, his skin can be described as scaled and armored, forming a smooth natural armor on his body that looks like skin in color but not in texture or appearance. The armored scales become thorny and armored on the fore arms and shoulders and knees mostly from blows, heat and pressure applied to these areas frequently causing the reactive skin to reform for maximum protection. Besides the skin, the hair is also different, being made of a similar substance to the armored scales it is thick and resembles hair somewhat from afar, but upon close inspection its composition of interlocking scales can be seen. This has not stopped Verric from managing to style his would-be dark brown hair, having a standard 3/4 parting and "combed" back, he also has a small goatee. His irises are yellow orange and have reptilian like slits when in a bright environment, but otherwise are normal in standard conditions.
Armor and Clothing Description
Verric typically wears normal clothes when out and about, button up shirts and jeans, or slacks depending on what he wants to wear. In the work place he wears heat resistant smith clothing, and gloves that are heat resistant, but not insulating as his natural armor allows him to easily handle hot metal.
When it comes to Armor he currently wears Steel Plate Armor, with Ceramics inside the plates for increased durability, he hopes to one day craft fantastic armor for himself from eithe Daemon-Steel or Dragon Bone. Armor Reference
Personality
Being an Abhuman gives him a different outlook on life in the NC, while he doesn't face any real prejudice in the NC, he understands what it is to be different from Humans, and he frequently associates with other Abhumans. He has a certain pride in being different as well as a sadness at their being so few of his kind. He is a hard worker and enjoys his craft, from tinkering with guns, to forging a suit of armor.
Weapons
- Volcano Pistol
The Volcano Pistol is an extremely robust and powerful pistol equivalent in power to a Lance Pistol, though it uses traditional ballistics. The Volcano pistol was developed by the Vulcans, the race of AbHumans that Verric is one of, it was developed before the Vulcans had reintegrated with the New Covenant and was designed specifically to deal with other Vulcans and other armored targets. Normal guns were ineffective against and armored Vulcan as many bullets were stopped by their skin after being slowed down by armor, the Volcano Pistol was a side arm meant to continue to penetrate after breaking armor. The Volcano pistol fires a large 30mm pistol round with a Magma Charge in the slug, the large round penetrates and shoots a high velocity stream of heavy molten metals into the target. The gun has heavy recoil, but its only really an issue for normal Humans, Vulcans being naturally stronger than humans. Th pistol can fire other kinds of rounds, but the preferred and standard shot is the Magma Round. For those without the strength to fire it, special arm braces can be bought to compensate for recoil.
- Auto-Flail
Also known as the Auto-Mace, it is a unique weapon that is archaic in nature, but deadly none the less. It uses good technology to a primitive and brutal effect, it finds its origins in Illegal Gladiator Arenas in the unwatched outer colonies. Its true origin is unknown but it found most of its use in the Arenas. The Weapon itself involves a Heavy Mace Ball that can be spiked or ridged with blades and made of various metals. It has a chain attached to the ball as well as motor to retract the ball after released. It can be used as a mace when fully retracted and the mag-locks keeping it from being flung. The Ball itself uses small Gravitic Suspensors to lower the mass of the ball only when it is thrown, deactivating to allow the full mass to exert its force on the target. Currently His Mace Ball is made of Khorium, and the Chain Mithril.
History
Verric lived the Typical Life of a New Covenant Citizen, joining the military and getting his education through them, his only difference being that he was not Pure Human. This did not affect his standing so much as it affected his thinking as he became an adult, however as he became an Adult it became clear he was a Psyker of some degree, being an AbHuman this could prove a problem as AbHumans typically did not become Psykers, so he could have been seen as an Abomination. The Church however would have been wrong in there assessment as soon after discovering his potential he was contacted by an unknown group, know as the Shadow Psions, an ancient guild of Psykers who trained others in the ways of the Shadow Psion and the group consisted of mostly AbHumans as well ass several normal humans, an alternative to the Church's methods. Despite the name, the Shadow Psions are not a criminal entity nor a heretical one, they are mainly a group dedicated to training psykers to become unnoticeable in society, to hide their power and to have freedom instead of being leashed to the Church because even Traditionally trained psykers that may not count themselves as part of the Church, are still closely monitored. This worked to Verric's benefit, as he could lead his life normally and yet have access to powers, without fear of Church or Demon. The Shadow Psions however also offered training further in mastering one's powers, as well as simply hiding it, and naturally Verric found himself on the path of the Shadow Warrior, using his powers to augment his physical prowess. This involved him training to use his full potential without over exerting himself and becoming prey to entities of the Warp and garnering notice from the Authorities.
After completing his training he continued onto his career, only ever using his powers in tight spots, usually while venturing to find rare ores. As of now he continues his work as a Smith and plans on setting up a permanent shop in the first New Covenant Black Market Station, one being built and hidden in an Asteroid belt.
