First Name: Rainer
Middle Name: Thorin
Surname: Lack
Gender: Male
Alias: Dr. Lack! He prefers to go by his surname.
Age: 37
Birthday: 26th October
Marital Status: Single
Occupation: Research scientist - head of his department.
Celebrity:
Power/Supernatural: None
Info: None
Looks: Lack's hair has been turned white blond from SIGMA exposure, but is naturally light brown. It will grow back normal if he stops his work for a while. His eye is grey-blue, the left one being biomechanical, and he wears glasses. He's short (5'6") and stocky. Although he's a tad pudgy around the middle, the rest of him is built pretty powerfully and... square-ly. Lack often forgets to shave and is sometimes quite stubbly. He has some really nasty scars on his left cheek, possibly from a fight with... something. Others seem to be from piggling at his skin. His left leg is also biomechanical, and his entire left side is reinforced by mechanics. He is relatively pale and normally looks scowly.
Likes: Lack enjoys meeting new people. Although he is very nervy and struggles with anxiety disorder, he genuinely enjoys meeting people and making new friends. He also enjoys learning new things, such as techniques, languages, etc. He loves reading, and tends to carry a book with him in his bag. He enjoys shooting, both as a hobby and self defence. He isn't the type to hunt, so he just does target shooting, and will often carry around a pistol in a shoulder holster (legal in his time). Most of all, he loves his job and is devoted to it.
Dislikes: Lack doesn't like cruelty. Although parts of his work involve experimenting on people, he doesn't like it and tries to be good to the test subjects. He also doesn't take things lightly - if people are rude to him, even as a joke, he will nearly always take it to heart and probably remember it for years and years. He doesn't like being shown up by others, and certainly dislikes show offs. Most of all, he detests willful ignorance.
Personality: Lack is unusually jovial and good natured for someone in such a serious position. He can come over as gruff and serious at first, as he is often found frowning, taking notes, walking around very quickly and otherwise looking uncaring. He's kind and very generous, expecting nothing back but "thank you" and sometimes not even that. He's involved himself with serveral charities. However, he also struggles with anxiety disorder. He's nervy around new people and often comes over as shy and skittish because of this. Lack also has a bad temper, but is patient enough to keep it under control.
Fashion Sense: Often what is practical over what is 'sciencey'. Often found wearing the clothes more likely to be found on a field agent (heavy knit sweaters, combats, boots, vest tops, cargo shorts, etc) than a head of department in a lab. Although he apparently does enjoy donning a lab coat and goggles from time to time.
Strengths: Clever, generous, tenacious, accomodating, patient.
Flaws: Nervy, bad tempered, often doesn't think before he does stuff, easily annoyed, anxious.
Family: His family are simply a factory worker and a teacher. They are both alive, but he rarely gets to see them. He has an older brother who is a lawyer.
Other Significant People: Works with a certain Dr. Soren Pike, who he doesn't always get along with. Gets on well with Stefan, a guard, and Dr Elisabet Katrinsdottir, the on-site psychiatrist (they are currently working together on project).
Bio: Lack was born to parents in City 8, and raised in a life that was comfortable. He paid little attention to much but books, until his father took him to work with him when school was cancelled for a day. He quickly learnt the delights of mechanics, and asked for a crystal radio set. His parents were more than keen to encourage him, and taught the boy all the knew. He spent saturday afternoons with his next door neighbour, a mechanic, and the rest of the week with his books and electronics. However, fixing wasn't enough. Lack wanted to create.
When he left school, he went to university to study biomechanics, and was posted as a lab assistant in the Kaarto University of Science, City 8. He studied hard, and spent most of his life at the university, working away with other students. Aged 23, he was transferred to City 3 to continue research into powering mechanics with a substance known as SIGMA, also called 'magic' by lower classes.
He spent long hours working, and it paid off - he became a proper research scientist, and had a paper published. However, things came to a standstill when he was 25. A human augmented by SIGMA broke free, causing drama. Due to the relatively small number of guards, Lack had to throw himself into the fight, and was horrifically maimed. Luckily, his body was repaired using his very own research.
It took him a while to get back on his feet, but Lack eventually moved to government labs - although he still works for the university, when he can - and ended up being promoted to the head of Lab 11. The paperwork is dull, and so Lack often puts himself in the middle of actions, and enjoys helping and supervising students.
Skills and Hobbies: Lack is a very good shot, especially since the incident when he was 25. He normally carries a Beretta 92 around with him, just in case. He is a good mechanic, and could probably work on cars, but is better building stuff. He enjoys reading and making things, and helping people; often he uses new technology which costs a lot of money on suffering people who need it more.
Can easily be changed for a modern rather than futuristic time period!
