STRENGTHS
His physical strength is enhanced by the internal mechanical apparatuses.
He is fanatical in his devotion to the preservation and advancement of humankind and the destruction of anyone or anything that threatens it. This include any xenomorphs, half-blood xenomorphs(near humans), midi-chlorian slaves (Force users or just force sensitives), and those willfully harboring and advancing the cause of xenomorphs. The only exception having been the Emperor as he was a master of the proper Empire.
He has mechanically augmented sight that provides assistance aiming from the hip, zoom capabilities, and night vision.
A degree of flexibility to the mechanical apparatuses in use allowing him to fold up the extended claw/manipulators extending from his hands.
WEAKNESSES
Fanatical in his views on the galaxy and while he covers them up well enough, it can make for difficult engagements in negotiation or social events.
He has a very strict level of discipline that can be frowned upon and end up removing important assets as he makes heavy use of summary execution.
He has rather poor piloting skills.
A severe lack of stealth as his presence is always preceded by the droning and hissing of a respiratory system.
SHIP:
TBA pending creation/acceptance in the Factory.
BIOGRAPHY:
William Gould is the creation of a monster. A man who once called the child son and then sent him through hell and back in order to research and test the young boy:
Quote
[SIZE=small]Eyes opened to the sounds of screaming. Hands quickly pushing the sheets down that covered his naked torso as the young boy sat up in his bed. Eyes immediately filling with fear at the sound, sounds that he had never heard before except in a movie and they had done this no justice. This was a scream of pure pain, of torture, of dead. But whose death? Mother... The word rolled across his mind as the sound was definitely feminine and the boy leaped out of the bed and quickly started pulling up a pair of jeans. Sandy blond hair cut short atop his head, the boy having been trying to mimic the short hairstyle that was part of the military and popular among many boys in Imperial families. That had always been the constant, other families that were the same, all believers in the Galactic Empire and Palpatine. Or at least that was what the boy thought his name was, it was on the holonet almost wherever he looked. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=small]The carpet was much warmer than usual beneath his toes as his ears started to adjust to other sounds; sounds that also came from the movies, but a sound that he knew well; a blaster. Not just one, many blasters could be heard firing from outside of his window. His curiosity overcame his fear as the boy crept to the window to peer out. The streetlights were all dark and he could only see the red bolts illuminating the gun they were fired from. They were aimed beneath him, his blue eyes nearly bulging out as he realized it was his house that was under attack and that definitely was his mother whom he was hearing. Turning from the window, he ran to his door and grabbed at metal door knob, his door being of ornate wood rather than a standard sliding door. The metal knob seared his hand to it and he screamed as he quickly withdrew the hand. First layers of flesh melted directly to it, peeling the skin off his hand and causing blood to start to pool on his fingers and palm.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=small]Tears quickly formed at the corners of the young man's eyes as he backed away from the door. There had to be another way to get out. Break the door down or something. No, that wouldn't work, he had tried many times when he got grounded, though it looked wooden it was heavily reinforced to keep people out. Well that was backfiring and keeping the young boy in the room. Screams from outside and beneath him continuing as he ran to the window. His path quickly cut off by a canister flying in through it and a bolt nicking the upper corner of the window sill. They knew he was up there and they didn't intend on letting the boy out.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=small]A loud hissing sound came from the canister as the room started to fill with a yellowy haze. Breathing it in came with extreme pain as he could feel it burn the insides of his mouth worse than any hot food he had ever eaten. That pain flowing down his neck and filling his chest completely as he began to cry more. The stronger inhaling from that only drawing more of the gas into his lungs as his eyes began to water not just from tear but also pain from that yellow mist. Hand grabbing frantically at the doorknob again, pain searing through it…[/SIZE]
A perverse monstrosity that become a weapon of terror for the Empire during the last few years of Emperor Palpitine's reign. He was used to enforce the Tarkin doctrine wherever sent and acted as an agent of terror against the Rebel Alliance. Wherever there was dissidence or speak of rebellion, he would be sent in with the army to enforce martial law and execute any necessary action to maintain order with an iron fist. There was no limit to the cruelty of the man and he became almost a pet to be sent to worlds in order to cause fear. His name was never mentioned on the planets, only the name of the company that he was in charge of for such; Civil Organization for Reeducation of the Empire, CORE. Gould served only as a Lieutenant in CORE as he was deemed more useful closer to the field rather than being hidden away as an Officer planning out strategies, yet many officers above him within CORE deferred to his decisions when it came to dealing with dissidence or grew to their rank under guidance and act in a similar manner.
CORE was anything but civil in it's action. Many of the members were reeducated criminals or soldiers in the army and navy who failed psychological examination. They would be brought to the mobile training facilities where they would be indoctrinated into the ideals of CORE; whether that took weeks, months, or years. If the patient continued to fail to respond to the indoctrination, they would be used as dummies for fighting practice. CORE soldiers became a well trained and highly disciplined organization that was fanatically loyal to any directive given by the Emperor. The organization operated within their respective boundaries, taking orders from Imperial Army and Naval Officers who were superiors but any orders given by the Emperor of the Royal Guard would override their actions. Many times CORE was used to maintain discipline not only on planets, but within ships where there were rumors of mutiny.
The destruction of the second death star and the rise of the rebellion paved the way for the destruction of CORE. Without Palpatine at the head, many Warlords that began to arise found that CORE was working to undermine their own power and CORE became a target of these warlords, as well as the rebels who were actively hunting CORE members for their crimes against sentient races. It was during this time that a few loyal Admirals and scientists agreed that CORE needed to be preserved for the rise of a new Empire as things started to look grim. Professor Mengol had the arrangements made and a few thousand CORE members were locked away in stasis chambers and sent out to the fringes of known space with automated orders.
Orders that were set to expire and release the members of CORE at the rise of a new Galactic Empire and the proper codes being sent out.
CORE(Civil Organization for Reeducation of the Empire):
CORE consists of now ancient Imperial ships including two Imperial Dreadnoughts, two of Strike Cruisers, and a single Imperial Class-II Star Destroyer, plus smaller supporting craft specifically modified for containing stasis tubes.
The ground forces consist of various pieces of ancient Imperial armor and the troopers are adorned in CORE black scout trooper armor.
