Origins:  
Lincoln West was born in
Malibu in Southern California but
his parents filed for divorce when
he was 16. Hungering to replace
the emptiness that eluded him
after they split, he joined the Navy
on his 17th birthday (with parental
consent) and remarkably, he
fenagled his way into
Navy Seal
training and blazed through it.
Looking for further challenges,
Linc re-upped with the Army
instead and passed
Army Ranger
training admirably only to jump
over into and pass
Green Beret
training as well.  After racking up
numerous successful combat and
covert missions, Linc was most
recently sent to the Mideast to
assist breaking up targeted
terrorist camps while testing a
prototype combat suit. It was
during this week that the earth
underwent the phenomenon that
would later be called
"The Neogen
Flux."
When Linc and his team
stumbled into a booby-trapped
terrorist den, it detonated in close
quarters and his fellow soldiers
were killed instantly. The force of
the explosion hurled Linc's body
through a decaying stone wall and
into a hidden cave full of ancient
Babylonian artifacts.  Linc's
broken body landed on
a jet black
obelisk
that punctured his back
and skewered his heart. Linc knew
he should have died but he didn't.
His last sight before losing
consciousness was the obelisk
activating,
melting liquid-like into
his body.
 He was awoken later by
his platoon but miraculously found
to have no injuries. Dumbfounded
by his own survival, Linc grieved
the tragic loss of his closest
friends, despite being credited
with locating a treasure trove of
priceless ancient artifacts, and
insisted on breaking from the
steady flow of combat deaths he
had experienced in his military
career. Meeting with high-level
resistance from the upper
echelons, Linc discovered that
the obelisk was an obscure
ancient artifact of legendary  
power whose name translated
roughly into
“the Ebonox Core,"
Ebonox being a term meaning
"black darkness."  With it, he
found he could psionically project
black liquid-like energies and
instantly mind-shape them into
manipulatable complex floating
hard-surfaced constructs. Using
its unique properties, Linc
managed to anger the upper
echelons but force his own break
from  military service. With little
else to fall back on, Linc decided
to attend the UN research
initiative into those affected by
"The Neogen Flux" to find out
more about his condition and if it
is related to the event.   
Powers:  With the Ebonox Core
fused into Linc's molecular
structure, he can psionically
project black liquid-like energies
and instantly mind-shape them
into manipulatable complex
floating hard-surfaced constructs
such as armor or weapons. The
anti-gravity properties of the
Ebonox Core also affords Linc the
ability to fly at high speeds. By
surrounding objects with mass
from the Ebonox Core, Linc can
render super-heavy objects
weightless enough to lift with
ease. The largest weight he has
lifted so far was a locomotive
engine weighing 250 tons.
Strength Level Unassisted:
Class 1-A Baseline Human Range.
Level 5.
Can press 450 Lbs.
Strength Level Power-Assisted:
Class 6. Ultrahuman Range.
Level 2.
Can press 250 Tons.
Arsenal:  Linc can create hand
held fighting weapons such as a
bo staff or nunchucks from his
own body, as well as constructs
such as floating shields and
pummeling fists in huge sizes. The
Ebonox Core can also be spread
like a thick fog bank completely
nullifying all light.
Fighting Prowess: Linc may be the
only one in the world that has all
of the combat skills gleaned from
being a Navy Seal, an Army Ranger
and a Green Beret. As such, his
martial arts, hand-to-hand fighting
and weaponry knowledge is
among the best in the world.
Gear:
Standard Nanotech Armored
Protection Gear (SNAP-Gear),
lightweight uniforming system
equipped with onboard computer
array, variable feed power
sources, life-support, networking
and armored protection. A voice-
activated onboard computer ties
into tactical local and wide-area
networks using a “heads-up”
holographic transparent 17-inch
display panel while it monitors its
wearer’s physiology. A shield
mode provides operatives head-
to-toe protection.   
Adairian Adaptive memory
molecules enable SNAP-GEAR
uniforms to adapt to a host’s
application of wide arrays of
energies. SNAP-Gear is able to
transform into a small inventory of
various non-combat outfits pre-
loaded by its user.  
ANGEL Com (Communications
Device), a neural transceiver
implant that responds to basic
cybernetic commands. The device
utilizes ultra- sophisticated
cerebellinguistic algorithm codes
to translate human languages.
Once set, the device automatically
translates and feeds languages or
dialects in one’s native tongue
directly into the ear with an
average translatability percentage
ratio of 94.6% for all known
language patterns.
