Name: Zertusk
Age: 350
Race: Yautja
Dark Blade Clan
Zertusk is an Honored hunter. He has brought a group of yautja to the Nexxus to hone their skills. He has a large mothership housing the entire hunting party, equipped with enough shuttles to let each member head off on solo hunts when needed.
His hunting party consists of several Unblooded who are waiting for their first hunt. There are also a handful of members recently promoted to Young Bloods. The rest of his group consists of Blooded and warriors.
Hunting gear: This is in addition to any trophies he picks up
Dark Blade Clan Ki'cti-pa Wrist Blades - The Wrist Blade is the weapon of choice for most Yautja. Zertusk has a triple set on each forearm. The blades have jagged double edges and are sharp enough to tear through bone. The blades range from anywhere between 12 and 18 inches long and are retractable from a wrist gauntlet on the arm. They are plasma-forged from an unknown alloy, which is almost unbreakable, but not totally immune to acidic Xenomorph blood. The blades are activated via a wrist trigger. The blades are hinged, allowing the Yautja to separate the two outer blades from 2" to 8" apart, in addition to being able to be launched individually at up to two foes within a range of 50'. The blades can be retrieved and reused.
Netgun - The Net Gun is small and usually reserved for ambushing a group of prey, when entering a major combat area and the temporary incapacitation of a subject is necessary, it is a highly specialized weapon used for capture or as a sadistic way of hunting. The net gun is not a projectile weapon, instead launches a web of razor-sharp wire powerful enough to propel a target to the floor/wall and pin them. This weapon can be used in two modes. The first doesn't kill and is used for capturing the prey. And the second mode consists of surrounding the prey and squeezing it to the death viciously cutting into the flesh. If the target tries to struggle the damage increases, and this keeps up until the subject is released or is killed. The net can also release on a trigger from the weapon. This weapon is almost useless when facing a large number of opponents.
Dark Blade Shoulder Mounted Plasmacaster - This is the most efficient and versatile weapon of the predator's arsenal. It can be used on almost every occasion, it fires a plasma charge that has explosive properties, the weapon is capable of disintegrating most opponents. The charge is directed by a targeting system, which is able to make path correction after the charge is fired. It can be described as an assault weapon used on heavy confrontations while leaving the hands free. This ranged energy weapon is controlled via the targeting system in the helmet. The weapon is fired either by a mandible controlled trigger in the helmet or by a trigger on the forearm. The clan's specialized variant of the Plasmacaster fires bolts which explode across wide areas with devastating force. It is also capable of firing variant blasts such as incendiary and anti-tank type blasts.
Dark Blade Smartdisc - One of the most advanced pieces of equipment carried by the yautja, the smart weapon is a flat disc shaped weapon which can be held in the hand, or thrown at an opponent. The disc is another of the targeting device oriented weapon. This device is capable of cutting through most substances with its devastating razor edges, and is powerful enough to cut through multiple targets with one throw. Computer-controlled gyros guarantee that the disc returns to its wielder, but if it becomes embedded in a solid material it can be returned by the push of a control-panel button. The upside of it is its extremely high piercing potential and the great downside is the slow firing rate. The disk does damage when thrown via a vibro-field used, but when hand-held it only does damage from the metal edges, as the field cannot be used when held. The Clan's unique Smart Disc has blades which vibrate at subsonic frequencies, giving it unmatched cutting power. Its advanced targeting matrix can store the locations of up to four enemies at once.
Bladedisc - A faster version of the Smartdisc, the blade disc has a smaller center with many blades approximately a foot in length radiating out from around it.This weapon lacks the auto aim of the smartdisc, but flies as fast as it is thrown and returns to the weilder if possible. Either Disc can be used as a hand to hand weapon, but the bladedisc is preferred if it comes down to this situation.
Battle Knife - A last resort weapon, essentially a long knife. Weighs 1/2 lbs.
Self - Destruction Device - There are many uses for the control panel, such as changing vision modes, but the most remembered use is the self-destruct mechanism that can be activated through this device. This weapon of last resort is used by warriors to keep honor when they die. After the device has been set, there is a one-minute countdown until the detonation of a micro-nuclear explosion. Its effective range is measured in kilometers.
