NPC or PC: NPC
Real- Life Character Name: N/A
Ymaggion Character Name: Col. Benjamin Brandon Jessup
Alias: Ben
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Nationality: Newdamian
Rank: Gamma
Specialization: Generalist
Strengths/Weaknesses: Col. Jessup’s body is close to unbreakable, as much of his skeleton is made of a metal stronger than titanium, and the rest of his bones are coated with it. However, as his skeleton is mainly metal it makes him extremely vulnerable to magnetism and lightning.
He is a very smart fighter, and when in battle he doesn’t simply throw random attacks at his opponent. As he is a well-trained military officer, he is quite good with coming up with battle strategies at the drop of a hat. However, there are times when his determination to win is too great, and even when he should throw in the towel he keeps going, which sometimes gets him in big trouble, and other times it pays off.
Clothing/Armor: He tends to wear his dress uniform (dress blues), but he will sometimes wear his camouflage outfit (field uniform. Top part. Bottoms) along with his military boots. Being a Cyborg, his armor is beneath the surface, and is only visible when his false flesh is removed from it in some way. It is pretty much a metal skeleton, aside from his shoulders and chest, which actually looks more like a half of a torso piece from a suit of armor. Engraved on his left shoulder is the Newdam Republic Marine Corps emblem, it is about twice the size of a fifty-cent piece.
Physical Appearance: The Colonel stands at 6-feet 5-inches, and is a very well built man. He appears to weigh about 275lb, making him only a bit more muscular than Dwayne Johnson, and he has a medium complexion. He has short black hair, and dark blue eyes. He has a strong square chin, slightly high cheekbones, and a nose that's just a little bit wider than most. The Colonel's face is just a bit broad, but it's really only noticeable when he smiles.
Personality: He is a harsh, untrusting man. He is not one to lose his calm under any circumstances. As a Colonel he has learned that getting frantic, hotheaded, and/or frightened will only lead to death—whether it be yours or that of your ally’s. He doesn’t talk much, and it’s practically impossible to tell what emotion he’s feeling. He has a vast hatred for shape shifters due to past events, and though it doesn’t show too much, he lusts for revenge on the shifter who murdered his wife. He seeks to kill the shifter not simply for payback, but so that he may be content, if possible.
Equipment: A 45MM electro-handgun that looks very similar to Axl’s guns, only Jessup’s are completely silver. He also has an energy sword much like RockMan Zero’s only wider, and electrified brass knuckles.

Miscellaneous Items: His white gold wedding ring, which he wears around his neck on a silver chain under his clothing. NRMC dogtags.
Elemental Affinity:
Special Abilities: Col. B Jessup has impressive survival skills in addition to being an expert in hand-to-hand combat, a great swordsman, and an even better gunman. He has enhanced speed, strength, endurance, and durability. Though his natural “human abilities” are enhanced, they have their limits.
Transformations: 1. Energy Surge—Col. Jessup becomes covered with electricity, as does his energy sword, thus giving him a rather large advantage. Sense his body is covered by electricity it’s nearly impossible to touch him without being shocked half to death and this also increases the power of his sword and Elec-knuckles. This will only last for a brief time, as Benjamin’s body can’t withstand the sudden surge of electricity for extended periods of time. The longest he can hold this form is one hour, and then he dies. The time it takes for Ben to exit Energy Surge is 3-seconds, and once he is no longer in that state it takes two to three times longer for his body to cool down completely then the amount of time he used Energy Surge.
Techniques: (Link to all techs)
1. Charge shot
2. Rapid-fire
3. Burning Blade
4. Deflector
Super Techniques:
1. Self-destruct
2. After Slash
Battle Style: The Colonel will usually wait until his opponent has made a few attacks before he strikes so he can get a feel for their fighting style/strategy. Once he figures out the way his foe battles, he will use whatever fighting style he believes will work the best, whether that be getting up close and using mainly his elbows and knees for close combat, or staying back and using his 45 like there’s no tomorrow.
Companions: Lt. James C. Bridges
History: At the age of 18 Ben enlisted into the Marine Corps. In no time he was promoted time and time again. Once at the rank of Lieutenant he met a lovely Corporal named Isabella Anthems. Within a few months the 2 were happily married.
Again and again Benjamin was promoted. It was when he was 21-years-old he was promoted to the rank of Colonel. Shortly after, however, he found out that his wife, Isabella, had been killed during her last mission. They said that a shape shifter had taken the form of a Private in her company, and shot her from behind. The soldiers later came to call this being “Morph” or “Shifter” on account of its powers, and the fact that they had no idea what his or her real name was.
Col. Benjamin B. Jessup was a highly decorated soldier by the age of 23, and it was at that age that he was sent into the special operations unit known as “The Archangels.” During one of their missions the Colonel was caught in an explosion, and his body was damaged to the point that he would never be able to move from the neck down. However, after about a year military machinists, scientists, engineers and other mechanical experts redesigned Col. Jessup’s damaged body, making him a type of Cyborg. Though he looked completely normal on the outside, on the inside he was about 70% machine. He was given enhanced human abilities, as well as enhanced durability as a result of the transformation. It wasn’t long after he was “repaired” that he retired from the Marines, and went off in search of the dirty rat that killed his wife. Before he left his commanding General told him this: “People will tell you that killing that scum won’t bring her back. I’m not one of them. Though killing him won’t bring her back, you’ll certainly feel better as you stand over his dead body… Trust me, I know.”
RP Example: It was late at night, and the full moon was glowing brightly in the dark sky above. The Colonel sat on the sidewalk in his field uniform staring at the white gold wedding band he wore around his neck on a silver chain. He held the ring with his index finger and thumb, and simply stared at it as memories of his late wife flashed through his mind. “I’ll make him pay, Isabella.” He said with a hint of anger.
Benjamin rose up from the sidewalk, and looked up at the full moon. He stuffed the ring and chain back under his shirt, and then started to walk down the street. He came to a sudden halt after only taking two steps when he heard something behind him. He turned around, and saw a menacing figure lurking in the shadows. “You want something, fellah?” He asked the man in the shadows, but received no reply; the being merely drew a pair of short sword katanas. “If it’s a fight you desire,” Col. Jessup said as he drew his energy sword, “do not hesitate to attack.” He said as he readied his weapon.
