## Heliotrope

### Full Designation

Gamma-Class Bio-Subject-Courser "Heliotrope"

### Purpose

Track down and kill subjects who escaped.

### Weapon(s) of Choice

* Modified Pancor Jackhammer
* Modified combat knife

### Affiliation

Systems Corp. (formerly)

**Heliotrope** (nicknames: **Tan-Tan** and/or **Helio**) was a bio-weapon designed to become a subject courser. After his training was successfully completed, he was assigned as a subject courser to track and kill rogue bio-weapons that escaped.

## Appearance

Helio is estimated to be 1.95 meters, meaning he is the size of a normal human. Before he was banished from Systems Corp., he used to wear a black Skull Major helmet. He is mainly displayed in an anime style, while in the games he is limbless just like all other Thing-Things. More as he seems to be, he is protected by an unique weave that is inside his clothes, making him more resistant to bullets and fire. He wears large spikes on his shoulder guards, to show others that he shouldn't be messed around with.

## Personality

Helio is rebellious, ruthless and very anti-social. Eventually, began to have a criminal-like personality. This made him steal things, murder innocents and even made him threaten Systems Corp. personnel. Sometime later, he was rejected and became just like all other subjects: he had to die.

Helio likes to pickpocket, steal, lockpick, threaten others and show himself as a dominant person. However, he dislikes good actions. Also, his patience is very short. He can get angry easily.

## Abilities

### Abilities:

Most of his abilities on focused on stealth.

* Excellent at sniping and doing sneak attacks.
* Very discreet. He is almost undetectable when moving in the dark. When he runs, it happens that there is no noise coming from his steps at all.
* Good at pickpocketing and stealing without being caught.
* Can pickpocket an enemy's ammunition or melee weapons.
* Can place explosives in someone's inventory and activate them... while they're not looking.
* Good precision/ aiming.
* Can modify weapons to make them become sniper/stealth focused. (example: add a silencer to quiet down a Bren 10.)

### Weaknesses:

* He is protected by an unique weave, but his regeneration speed is slower compared to the original 154.
* His arms are the weakest spot. Shooting them will make him less of a threat, making his melee damage weaker and his aiming precision very unaccurate.
* Don't show him food while he is fighting. NEVER! (he will be heavily distracted.)
* Also, don't show him Aid-V when he is on the need for another dose. (a drug he is addicted to and it is similar to strength-enhancing drugs in real life)
* Cannot stand against many enemies at once.

### Modified weapons

Helio is equipped with a modified Pancor Jackhammer shotgun. He added a silencer, an all-vision long scope and made it become semi-automatic. His combat knife has a more comfy handle, and a much sharper blade.

## References/ Trivia

* Heliotrope's name and colors are based on a black-red stone named heliotrope (or bloodstone).
* The Aid-V drug is similar to a chem called *Psycho* in the *Fallout* series of video games. The consumer will feel anger, less pain and have the urge to destroy. It improves the consumer's resistance and damage, but is highly addictive.
