Callum Abate

An OC by Phantomlink959
==History==
===Early Life===
====Military Service====
Callum Abate was born and raised in the Order Alliance, spending most of his life being trained as a soldier. His natural aptitude for firearms and marksmanship quickly earned him a place among the elite Special Operations division as a scout and sniper, spending the next 20 years working covert missions spying on and countering the operations of the Guardian Remnants.
====Family Life====
During his time as a scout, Callum met a young medic woman, developing a relationship with her that eventually led to marriage, and after a few years the birth of a daughter. While Callum tends to be emotionally distant, he was a very caring father and husband, dedicating most of his downtime to his family.
====Defection from the Order alliance====
Not long after one of his away missions -that ran long due to various delays- his commanding officer was murdered by an unknown assailant, his extended time in the field in close proximity to the Remnants put him under suspicion of being the traitor, his wife and daughter were arrested and executed as traitors, however his superior training  (and a rather ironic run of good luck) allowed him to escape with his sidearm, rifle, and armour. Having been betrayed by the only life he had ever known, Callum decided to enlist with the Rebel Remnants and get revenge for the death of his loved ones.
==Personality==
Callum is a very jaded man, a combination of his military lifestyle and the death of his family having left him with very little willingness to open up to others. In general, Callum tends not to emote much (if at all) and it can be difficult to get a read on him. He is extremely stubborn, cold, and tactical, having spent a cumulative total of just over 10 years on active field missions, going weeks or months in isolation, as a result he is used to not speaking much and tends to be extremely quiet. Due to his bodies inability to store calories, he has an extremely large appetite, needing to eat more frequently than others in order to keep going.
==Appearance==
Callum is a fairly tall and extremely thin due to a genetic disorder that prevents his body from storing fat, while his skin is rough from extended missions in extreme weather conditions. As a result of a weapons misfire during an early mission, he has heavy scarring on the right side of his face  and a robotic eye equipped with thermal and infrared filters that is capable of linking wirelessly to the scope on his rifle
===Outfit===
Callum typically wears his order issue light infiltration armour, an advanced nano-fiber bodysuit designed to regulate the wearers body temperature and keep them dry that is plated with hybrid armour composed of ballistic plastic, Kevlar, and light ceramic making it light enough to allow full flexibility while not compromising its ability to protect the wearer from light kinetic and energy weapons. in addition to the bodysuit, Callum normally carries a customized flexible filtration mask that covers his entire head, while the normal model is equipped with enhanced optics, his prosthetic eye renders the need for such systems partially obsolete, and as such the lens on the right side has been replaced with a telescopic sight to augment his scouting ability. Unfortunately, the order places IFF tags for infiltration armour kits within the mask, and as such he was forced to abandon his when attempting to evade capture.
Further modifications have been made to his kit over the years, including additional pouches for storing rifle and pistol ammo, allowing him to carry a large quantity of rounds with him at any given time.
==Weapons==
===MK-V 'Eviscerator' Anti Armour rifle===
The MK-V is normally deployed in live-fire zones as a countermeasure for armoured personnel and light vehicles, and due to its significant weight, recoil, and noise, is typically impractical for low-profile missions, however, Callum's rifle has been heavily modified with an extended 10-round magazine, carbon fiber body, suppressor, and floating barrel for recoil reduction. this rifle uses custom high-caliber tungsten-core anti-armour cartridges that are manufactured only by the alliance, as such he as an extremely limited supply, 10 magazines worth in total. he may acquire more at some point, however. for ease of transportation, this weapon folds back on itself into a roughly rectangular shape that can be stored using automatic magnetic and/or locking clamp systems on the back of most Order issue armour
===MK-II 'Shadow' Infiltration Sidearm===
A low-caliber internally-silenced pistol with an extendable blade, primarily used for self defense in the rare event the operatives location is compromised. As a result of his specialization in remaining undetected, Callum has fairly little experience with the blade function of the weapon, however he is an excellent shot with the pistol. since the 'shadow' uses cheap and fairly common .32 cartridges, he has a larger supply, about 200 rounds (also 20 magazines) and is able to acquire more from almost any enemy.
==Skills==
===Semblance===
Muffle, the ability to suppress the creation of sound waves within a limited radius of the user. His experience with using it means he can effectively eliminate all sound emission within 5 feet of his body, although louder noises such as gunfire will merely be quieted somewhat.
==Trivia==
Callum Abate is the real name of a RWBY OC named Vadasz who is a VERY different entity, while their appearance and MO are similar, the personalities and histories are polar opposites.
On account of the nature of his field work, Callum does not have the implant typically given to Order soldiers, as it would make it easier for him to be detected by electronic sensors in the field, his weapons are also not equipped with the automatic kill-switches, as they would not function due to his lack of said implant, functioning instead with a more primitive DNA lockout
