Description:
A cyborg whose real name and history are forever buried beneath layers upon layers of classified documents, this cyborg is a unique model codenamed "Greyhound." From what little unclassified information there is, he was once a secret agent who proudly served his country until a betrayal from a fellow agent he once called a friend left him badly wounded and barely clinging to life. At death's door and wanting revenge for the betrayal, the subject who would become known as "Greyhound" willingly underwent cyborg conversion to go into the field once again. His superiors also granted him a chance at revenge when his former friend was declared a traitor and the newly rebuilt Greyhound's first mission was bringing the traitor to justice, dead or alive.

After dealing with his treacherous former friend and completing a variety of classified missions for over thirty years, Greyhound was implanted with a memory suppression chip that would keep all of his exploits forever secret and honorably discharged to get a chance at a normal life. However, the newly released agent just could not get used to civilian life and after a year returned to a life in the shadows, this time as a mercenary. Looking to get back into action once again, Greyhound is now looking for a new cause to fight for.

Equipped with a special nanoforged blade capable of cutting through both body armor and light vehicles, extensive knowledge of weapons usage and infiltration techniques, plus a special stealth field that can foil almost all forms of visual and electronic detection, Greyhound is an expert in his field. Using his stealth field to conceal himself, he can sneak past most security measures and can allow his owner to do the same with a special weaker version of his top-secret stealth field. If the mission goes bad and the time for stealth has passed, Greyhound is more than able to fight his way out of trouble with his nanoforged blade and any weapon that his owner gives him or he can "acquire" in the field. All in all, Greyhound is a valuable asset for anyone looking for a friend in the shadows.

Description: Greyhound's sword glows a dull yellow as he crouches down and charges for the use of this technique. Once the sword is ready, Greyhound slashes rapidly in front of him, sending out a series of yellow crescents of energy that race towards opponents. If the target (s) is hit, it takes User Rank Advanced Multi Target Damage + 50%. More crescents can be fired at targets once per post for as long as the ability is active. Crescent Storm can punch through armor and magical shields, but it gives up half of its base damage to do so.

Category: Auxiliary
Type: Single Target, Buff
Damage: N/a
Range: Self
Speed: Self
Duration: User Rank Max
Downside: 2 effects are exchanged for 50% stronger buff
Description: By raising his left hand above his head, Greyhound can lend his owner a special, weaker version of his Stealth Field that renders the user very difficult to detect by visual or electronic means via a chameleonic cloak that makes the user blend in with the environment almost perfectly. The Stealth Field also dampens a user's footsteps to make 50% less noise than normal. Furthermore, the user gets a user rank active buff to Speed multiplied by 1.5x for the duration of the ability. However, if the user uses either a spell, a UA, or a weapon attack, they instantly decloak and are able to be seen again. Requires OOC permission to be used against Players, player-owned NPCs, or Event NPCs.
