Description
Name: Richard "Heart of Stone" McGregor

Callsign: Agent Nebraska

Height: 7'6"

Weight: 188lbs.

Personality: Nebraska is the epitome of a happy-go-lucky Irishman. Always beaming his signature smile, he provides emotional comfort to those around him. Kindhearted to a fault, Nebraska is always quick to find out a person's emotional flaws and has a sense of honor to try and help them overcome those flaws. Those who have spoken to him felt like they have known Nebraska their entire life by just spending fifteen minutes with him. He isn't without his emotional issues, though. Deeply affected by the dark path Project Freelancer had taken, the events that transpired took its toll on him, and he was the first one to figure out something wasn't right. He has regrets with leaving the program when he did, feeling he could have saved a lot of his fellow Freelancers who had lost their lives. But despite this, he does his best to move on from the past, trying to look at the brighter future, with Digamma providing the emotional support Nebraska could give to others, but not himself.

AI: Digamma

AI Attribute: Doubt

Equipment: Neuro-Muscular Enhancement

Detailed Abilities: Agent Nebraska, when in combat, is a close quarters specialist. Utilizing a hybrid fighting style composed of Akido's weave-like abilities and Wing Chun's simultaneous defensive and offensive capabilities, Nebraska forces openings in his opponent by utilizing the second most powerful asset in his arsenal; his mind. Born with a mental defect that altered the amygdala, the portion of the brain that detects danger, Nebraska's fight-or-flight instincts are always set to fight. Because of this, his body has been adapted to combat purely by design. Hyperawareness allows him to detect detailed movement patterns in his adversaries in but the slightest muscle twitch, which Nebraska takes advantage of in a heartbeat. Nebraska's armor is composed of a delicate ceramic plating, making it incredibly light compared to the standard plasteel plating, but is more brittle against ballistics. Inside the armor and helmet are countless fittings; each one is connected to a major portion of nerves that control the body's major muscles, and also controls vital neurological functions in the brain. Because of this, the armor absolutely requires the assistance of an AI to utilize.

This is where Digamma comes in. Digamma was created alongside Beta, the first two AI split from the Alpha. While Beta represented the Alpha's failures, Digamma represented the Alpha's doubts, a byproduct of the failures that created Beta. Digamma has near-complete control of the armor's neuro-muscular functions, enhancing Nebraska's combat effectiveness even greater. By manipulating the nerves in the muscles, Digamma can increase Nebraska's strength and speed, while manipulating vital neurological functions in the brain can enhance tactical awareness and reaction times significantly. In emergencies, a last-resort function can be activated, known as Restraint Level Zero. This function, when activated, temporarily removes all of the body's physical and mental limitations, granting the body maximum speed, strength, reflexes, and mental clarity. Time can slow down to a crawl in this state, even allowing the user to converse to the AI in their own timeframe, and even the heaviest of objects are of little significance to the enhanced strength. This is a dangerous last resort method, and improper use can render the user in a permanent vegetative state in the worst of cases. The best-case scenario is near total paralysis due to destroyed muscle tissue. To ensure this function is not activated without full consent of both parties, the armor is equipped with twenty different failsafes. Each failsafe, when disabled, increases the effectiveness of the neuro-muscular benefits by five percent, with a full one hundred percent when all failsafes are disabled. Such a task can take up to several minutes, however, as each failsafe is more complicated than the last.
