Editing Worlds in Peril the Leavening:Caliber

==Story Points==

== Codename: Caliber ==

'''Real Name:''' Ruger Harding

'''Story:''' Ruger Harding was a mercenary for a “security consulting” firm called Foray International. He and the rest of his team, known as the Wild Bunch, were sent on a suicide mission to confront the aliens on their crash-landed vessel in Marrakesh. As they were being slaughtered by the strange alien technology, Ruger discovered he could mentally control the microscopic nanotech robots the aliens were using. Using them to create cybernetic enhancements and a really big gun, Ruger was barely able to escape the craft. Now, he’s trying to piece together everything that has happened and try to put his past behind him.

'''Nemesis:''' Obviously there is Augustus Gold, the director of Foray Inc. He has direct links to former Vice President Herb Stabbenar, who still has a lot of political power and connections. Generally, Gold stays out of the day to day operations of Foray, Inc., leaving it to his second in command, Roth Payne, a former Special Forces commando who has plenty of alien tech support as well.

'''Uniform:''' When expecting a fight, Caliber dresses the part of a mercenary: khaki cargo pants, olive t-shirt with extra pockets on the sleeves and front, and a tan colored, well-stocked weapon harness (also with lots of pockets!).
