Character History: Ethan was a 'spacer' one of the few who continuously lived on a ship for most of his life, rather then a colony. He enlisted in the Galactic Federation at 18, and stayed until he was dismissed from duty at age 23. The reason for his dismissal is considered 'classified,' but it was because he refused to carpet bomb a colony with alleged ties to the Space Pirates. His Commanding Officer ordered the planed bombarded and destroyed. Ethan refused, because there were civilians on the planet that had no part in the 'dealings' which to this day have not been confirmed 100%. Furious with the officers, he left, and began to work on his own battle suit. He made the suit to be quick, and suited for melee combat, due to his expertise with hand-to-hand. He created and installed an AI program, which he had lovingly dubbed Io, which was the name given to his sister who died of SIDS. After finishing his suit, at age 24, he went into the bounty hunting business, taking great pleasure in his marks, if they were ranking Pirates. Space Pirates hate him, because he'll go out of his way to mess with them, even when not on the job.
He seems to have an...interesting relationship with Io. She constantly berates him on how reckless he is, and how he usually discards sense to be flashy in a fight. He treats her like an overbearing sister, but secretly takes everything she says to heart, even if he doesn't show it. Io's personality actually developed after Ethan had a rough encounter with Space Pirate Enforcers. He was damaged, and so was the AI, though the 'damage' caused her to develop a...well, personality, similar to what his sister's might have been, if she had lived past 5 months.
His name, or hunter handle, as he calls it, Striker, comes from his brutal tactics in battle. He strikes hard, and fast...until his opponent can no longer retaliate. To him, an opponent that lives, is one that will haunt you. After all...that's how he does things, if his opponent is dumb enough to let him escape...he'll be back.

Only applies if character has a battle suit.
Suit Name: Omega Striker
Suit Type: Melee/speed
Weaponry: He carries a beam rifle on the suit's back. It's a high powered semi automatic rifle, with a range of 300 yards. It's a medium range weapon, and is used for 'stealthy' take downs, when he cannot afford to be seen. It has trouble penetrating shields, however, and at best will knock a shielded target over.
On his left hip is a static pistol. This weapon's function is like a compact stungun, able to temporarily short out WEAK shielding or knock down unshielded opponents.
He caries satchel charges most times, though he rarely uses them in combat, mostly for demolition style bounties, like say...to destroy a base.
They can be rigged as a trap, however, if he's given enough time. One charge cannot kill a suited opponent most times, but will bowl them over.
His main weapons, however, are the energy claws that come out just above his knuckles on each hand. His training in the Federation focused around hand-to-hand combat before rising to officer status, and he integrated the years of training into the fighting style of his suit. The claws, while not able to cut everything, can slice though some metals, and just about every weaker material then metal. If it cannot cut, it can be used to knock others around, because the claws are solid metal with an energy charge run through them.

Shielding: Light shielding, only able to absorb two clips worth of ammo from an energy pistol (about 50 shots) before failing. His suit has little in the way of actual protection, he instead relies on agility and cunning to rather avoid getting hit in the first place.

Other: His suit AI Io, is like a sentient targeting computer, able to advise Ethan on his firing patterns, and weapon choices. He has 'thrusters' on both feet, one on each side of his heel. They are used to propel him forward when using his melee attacks, or so he can jump higher.

Only applies if character has their own ship.
Ship Name: Holy Knight (looks the same except all white, no blue)
Ship Type: One person long range fighter type.
Weapon Systems: two laser cannons, one under each wing. Also has hidden missile pods just below the cockpit.
