BIOGRAPHY
Born on the assembly line, a product of experimentation, or self-modification gone mad? This mechanical bull was constructed in a process shrouded in secrecy sometime in the latter years of the 21st century. Given consciousness by either an operating system or remnants of an organic soul, Hardtek roams the concrete jungle, taking up even the dirtiest work with a grin.
His identity is not recorded in any international database, making him highly sought after around the world for tasks where popping up on biometrics is a concern. Inside his body are rewritable storage media available for caching or couriering data, documents, or malware important to a client.
A heavily armoured, sturdy form combined with the brute strength an antelope possesses turns him into a juggernaut in combat. His programmable neural implants infuse the muscle memory of a master martial artist and swordsman. These implants can flood the brain with high levels of rewarding signals in situations which would sicken any other animal.
Hardtek works alone and keeps to himself. Speaking only sporadically, some assume a faulty voice synthesiser, but he simply doesn't feel like it. Most would describe him as cold. Robotic, even. Due to the augmentation, it's difficult for him to express complex emotion in face or voice. Regardless, he's recognised as one of the best in his field. He asks no questions and reveals nothing.
His life is shared by few loved ones, although he finds his home among the outcasts and outsiders of the world. He is especially fond of a muntjac doe quickly establishing herself in a similar line of work.
