Personality:

Not much is known about the 4th most powerful member of Project
Freelancer. NJ is the youngest Freelancer at 18 years old, but don't let
 that fool you. Under that suit of armor is a cold, calculating soldier
with a dark sense of humor and a powerful secret. Essentially, NJ is Deadpool, except more dangerous and way more batshit crazy. During his evaluations
 and initiations, NJ was described as a brilliant tactician,
effortlessly able to view everyone around him as a mere chess piece to
victory, including himself. NJ has a sadistic side of him, as he enjoys
watching or causing harm to others for his own amusement, laughing at
wounds he gives to enemies or watching Sarge beat up Grif. Not only is
he dangerous, but he is also brutal. He has a really charming
side-personality, though. All thanks to his AI KSI. Unmoved by
the blood, gore and visceral tearing of war he’s an efficient killer,
often sacrificing his own safety for the sake of the larger picture. His
 own personal vendetta against the Insurrection and the Meta means he’s
invested more than he lets on. However, even though he claims to have no
 emotion, he has hinted that he has had a relationship before, but he
doesn't say with who. The secret of his success is compartmentalization,
 but while his ability to 'disconnect' aids him in battle, it often
makes him feel distant from other Freelancers. NJ does, however, have a good relationship
with his sister Agent Minnesota and her AI Zeta (whom he considers to be a bit of a
 prick). He appreciates company when it finds him and treasures the few
friendships he’s been able to forge. His free time is spent playing
darts (often resulting in frequent requests for a new dartboard), honing
 his weapons, throwing knives at other AI holograms just for fun, or
challenging fellow comrades to a game of Chess.

dual SMGs, Customized silenced DMR (thanks to Agent Hampshire), arm
cannon (Dark Locus mode). All weapons are enhanced with Phazon when in

Warmaster shoulder pads, MK VI legs), black w/ red accents and white stripes and black and red cracked visor

Skills: Technology, Demolition, Assassin, Intelligence, Close Quarters, Operations, absolute destructive power (in Dark Locus mode)

Special Abilities: When angry, his AI bonds to his body, drastically
changing armor color from black with red and white to black with blue
and bright turquoise. His strength, speed, and stamina double as well,
turning him from a force to be reckoned with to a near-unstoppable
killing machine. He calls this his "Locus" mode. When extremely pissed
off, he takes on a totally new form, altering his body and his power to
become a hybrid of NJ and what KSI was originally: Dark Locus.

Bio:

Early Life: Everything that the UNSC has under New Jersey was originally
 classified, but Simmons told him his past. NJ was born as Antonio
Garcia. His parents named him before birth. Unfortunately, his parents died in a car crash, but his mother lived long enough to give birth to him, dying soon after. He was later kidnapped by the UNSC from the hospital and raised
by Sergeant Johnson, Master Chief, and ODST Gunnery Sergeant Edward
Buck. He went by the name Locus during his years as an ODST.

Joining PF: When he first joined Project Freelancer, he was only 13, the
 youngest in the squad. Upon arrival, He was first greeted by the best
at the time, Agent Carolina, and was given his first weapon: a
customizable battle rifle which he took gratefully and made it into a
silent deadly weapon. Soon he went on his first mission with the Intel
Squad, a ragtag sub team of Freelancers. His first mission was with Intel Agents Minnesota, Georgia, Rhode Island, and Utah. NJ grew to like
Minnesota, Rhode Island and Georgia, but found Utah quite unintelligible. However,
they were ambushed by space pirates and had to fall back. The team held back
most of them, but not before Georgia had an accident with his jetpack,
causing his supposed death. NJ continued his training overseen by
Carolina and Minnesota, who he became good friends with, along with the
other Freelancers. His skills sent him to the higher end of the
leaderboard at #4. Soon NJ went on Black Ops missions for the Director,
posing as a mercenary to targets. He was essentially an assassin at this
 point. When he received news that the Mother of Invention had been
attacked by the resistance he rushed back, but by then it
 was too late. Most of the agents left scattered across the galaxy while
 NJ continued to do assassin work. During this time, he found a
abandoned A.I. he christened KSI on the planet Phaaze. When he found him, he
was just a small AI chip with weird glowing tendrils coming out, so he
grabbed it. At that point, the planet was about to explode, so he
bolted. He felt an incredible rush of speed when he was escaping, and he
 learned that KSI had augmented his physical features to escape the
planet. He eventually found himself on Chorus, trying to find the truth
about two other well known mercenaries, one that was originally his
idol.

Love and Family: His family history was classified, so classified that
people think it's non-existent, in which basically it is. He prefers not
to talk about his love life, but he has hinted some possible candidates.
 When the War was over, he came across the Reds and Blues, as well as his former partner Minnesota, Washington, and Carolina. He
eventually became a honorary Blue Team member, being the third
commanding officer in the squad. During the Covenant Invasion, Min was fatally injured, and in the process of saving her life, learned he she was his older sister. He later confessed his feelings for freelancer Tennessee, who admitted she felt the same. The two are now in a relationship. He fights side by side with Minnesota and his
former leader Carolina with the New Project Freelancer.﻿
