Weight: 1261 lbs / 572 kg
Age: 24 years old
Species: Homo Sapiens Secundus / Astartes
Personality: Brash and blunt, but loyal to the end. Isn't above holding grudges and is prone to violence. Strangely empathic for his kin. Has a less than average control over his emotions and dislikes cats.
Implants:
1) Cordis Magni: an 8 chambered organ, taking the place of the heart. Minor adrenal despenser located on each side. Increased blood supply and pumping capability
2) Ossmodula: strengthens, accelerates and increases the growth of the skeleton. The bones are chemically woven with titanium-tungsten alloy, giving them unmatched strenght. Rib cage fused with articular cartilage replaced by chitin caps, smoother, denser, easyer to lubricate through synovial fluid and harder to damage.
3) Biscopea: boosts musculature grouth and density of sarcomeres through modified somatotropic hormones. It regulates the Ossmodula and vice versa.
4) Haemastaman: modifies blood composition to carry more oxygen and nutrients. Blood cells quadruple in size, resulting in thicker and brighter colored blood. Regulates the 2nd and 3rd organs.
5) Larraman's Organ: constantly generates bio-synthetic cells known as Larraman's cells. They behave as normal platelets, though acting almost instantly. Any wound will have scar tissue over it in seconds, allowing no blood loss or infection.
6) Catalepsean Node: allows the user to turn off one half of the brain at a time so they may have some form of rest and to go in a catatonic "recharging" state at will.
7) Preomnor: connected to the digestive tract, allows to analyze and neutralize almost all forms of toxins and poisons.
8) Omophagea: connected to the central nervous system, it analyzes the RNA and DNA of anything ingested and absorbs the protein sequences related to memories. Allows the host to estract information by eating animals of a territory.
9) Multi-lungs: a pair of additional lungs, they extract the oxygen even out of the most deprived of enviroments, including underwater. They can filter out toxic gasses and they work in tandem with the normal lungs.
10) Occulobe: grants greater eyesight and night vision.
11) Lyman's ears: immunity to dizziness and motion sickness, allows to filter out white noies.
12) Oolitic Kidney: detoxifies blood in case of extreme poisoning, usually works to regulate the hosts phisiology.
13) Neuroglottis: biochemically analyzes everything the host tastes or smells. Enhanches smell and taste to a tracking hound's level.
14) Black Carapace: a nervous-chitinous membrane that sits under the upper torso's skin, hardening in an almost bullet-proof shell. Divided in two layers that support each other through honeycomb like formation of hardened connective tissue wich hollow spaces are filled by a biological non-neutonian fluid. Ports to the host's nervous system jut out from under the skin, allowing interfacing with suitable armour and systems.
15) Sinew Coils: dura-metallic coil cables are woven in the host muscles, adding another layer of defense and further enhancing the host strength.
15) Magnificat: further increses the body's growth and intensifies the functions of the other organs.
16) Belisarian Furnace: when massive damage is dealt or the host undergoes extreme stress it expels enourmou quantities of self synthesized chemicals that function as a super adrenaline rush, supplying the body a mega cocktail that aid the regrowth of bones, muscles and connective tissues. One time use, needs a week to recharge.
17) Corpus Murus: a grid of metal-chitin envelopes every major organ and weaks spot, like the throat or major blood vessels, as the final layer of defense a host has.
18) Omnicopaeia: a super immune system, it creates specialized globules attached to the white cells naturally produced by the body. The Vigilias cells, as they're known, are coded as to recognize every disease known to mankind, fight it off and, if the case arises, study and adapt to any new type of ailment in minutes at the most.
19) Progenoid Glands: Implanted into both the neck and the chest cavity, these reproductive glands serve to collect, gestate and maintain the gene-seed from a Astartes body, and to safeguard it for the continuity of a regiment genetic heritage. These organs hormonally respond to the presence of the other Astartes gene-seed implants in the body by creating germ cells with DNA identical to that of those implants through a process very similar to cellular mitosis. These germ cells grow and are stored in the Progenoid organs, much like sperm cells or egg cells are stored in the testes and ovaries of normal men and women. When properly cultured bye the Apothecaries these germ cells can be gestated into each of the 19 gene-seed organs needed to create a new Battle-Brother.
