Character History:
Very little is known about Six before his time with Providence. Back when he says he had nothing, Six was taken in by One, a mercenary and the most dangerous man on Earth. One raised him and trained him in a multitude of martial arts and weaponry. As his name implies, he was ranked as the sixth most dangerous person on the planet. He was in the mercenary business like his "father" for an indeterminate amount of time, working with his "siblings": Dos, Trey, IV, and Five, the other four students of One.
Not long after the Nanite Event, One started mutating into a monster just as many others had done. However, he managed to slow the process and maintained control of his mind through meditation and willpower alone. Still, he was locked up (most likely willingly) by his five students in a special house suspended over magma. Every forty-one minutes, he had to enter a code or have the house fall. It was probably about this time that Six left the mercenary business, perhaps to seek a cure for his teacher.
At some point Six ended up working with Providence, partnered up with a man named Knight. The pair worked to kill or contain these nanite-created monsters with the other recruits. The ones they captured were ultimately dissected by Dr. Fell. However, Six began to grow tired of this life, especially after seeing the ongoing futility of their actions. Fell kept getting the same data over and over again. Meanwhile, more and more of these monsters was showing up everyday. After watching the dissection of a spider he and Knight captured in Paris, Six decided to speak with Fell's assistant Dr. Holiday who'd made the suggestion of studying these "EVOs" (as she called them) in a natural environment. She proposed the idea of finding a cure.
The next time he went out with Knight, he hesitated before attacking the large biomechanical EVO, suggesting they attempt to take it alive. When he did attack, he struck at a weak point that ended with the creature launching him in a large mechanical fist just before it blew up. Due to the EM pulse the creature sent out upon destruction, he was unable to contact anyone. This was a bit more inconvenient than usual since he'd found a kid in the rubble, a kid who only remembered his first name of "Rex" who saved his life by actually curing an EVO.
He brought Rex back to Providence to show Holiday. She had wanted to get started on studying Rex right away, but he insisted that Rex must be kept secret. Unfortunately, Knight found out about Rex after forcing Holiday to talk. Knight took Rex to Fell who attempted to dissect him. During Six and Knight's fight, they accidentally activated the molecular dissection procedure. Though Six was winning, he was drugged by Fell near the end. He would've been trapped in the rapidly-closing chamber, but Knight tossed him to freedom, giving up his own chance to escape. Though Rex managed to stop the process mid-way, Six was forced to watch as his partner was bleached and rendered completely free of nanites.
Since then Six has been Rex's field partner and his trainer along with one of Rex's co-handlers (the other being Holiday) and Knight's second-in-command. He was also the one responsible for retrieving Rex each time he broke out. During one break out, Rex met another teenager named Noah Nixon who he quickly became friends with. When Six went to retrieve Rex, Rex, Noah, and Bobo were kidnapped by a trio of EVOs named Skalamander, Biowulf, and Breach, members of a group known as "The Pack". Rex, Noah, and Bobo ended up in Abysus, ground zero of the Nanite Event five years before, and met the leader of The Pack, Van Kleiss. The trio managed to escape and met up with Six who'd come with a small army of Providence foot soldiers (often referred to as simply "grunts"), but their transport had crashed after being attacked by vines which Van Kleiss was able to control. Six was the lone survivor of the crash. Together, they managed to escape Abysus, leaving Van Kleiss and The Pack behind.
He was fully aware of the fact that Noah Nixon had originally been hired by Knight to act as Rex's friend. He took the blame for Rex finding out though it was actually Noah himself who'd revealed the truth by accident. The pair had been trapped in the Petting Zoo, hunted by Holiday's sister (who had been transformed into a spider-like EVO), when Rex's biometrics had plummeted, leaving the EVO teen powerless. After Holiday's sister was recaptured, Rex ran away from Providence, and Six went to retrieve the teen. He found Rex at a hidden village of engineers who'd been unwittingly assisting an AI called ZAG-RS that had been planning to use the antenna she'd manipulated the engineers and Rex to build to send out a kill signal to all nanites, effectively killing every living on Earth since every living thing was infested with nanites. Following ZAG-RS's defeat at Rex's hands, Six lied to Knight when the man called for an update, saying that he hadn't found Rex though Rex chose in the end to return to Providence of his own free will under the condition that they'd have a weekly Friday night "family" dinner of meatloaf and mashed potatoes with Holiday and Bobo.
When Rex took on too many nanites and was starting to overload, Six accompanied Holiday and Bobo to Paradise Base for Rex to offload. Unknown to them at the time, Weaver had been expecting Skalamander and Biowulf to collect nanites Weaver had managed to reactivate for Van Kleiss whose unstable body needed a constant supply of active nanites to survive. Though he, Bobo, and Holiday managed to take out Weaver's crew, the threesome was knocked out by gas and locked in a closet where Rex later found them. Biowulf and Skalamander managed to get inside the base, giving Weaver the opportunity to escape to the holding tank that was now filled with active nanites. Six, Holiday, Bobo, and Rex retreated when Weaver started to vent the holding tank, not realizing it was a trick. Unfortunately for Weaver, he was unable to stop the process and was ultimately infected by all the active nanites, turning into what Bobo would refer to as "a 50-foot freak show". Six and Rex battled the EVO'd Weaver, Rex attempting to shut down and absorb Weaver's nanites but ultimately overloading again. Once Weaver had been taken down, Six, Holiday, and Bobo transported Rex to Purgatory Base, the backup facility for him to properly offload the surplus nanites.
When Dr. Rylander, a scientist who'd worked on the Nanite Project that had ended in the Nanite Event, started sending boxes booby-trapped with a substance that could activate nanites to people around the globe, Six accompanied Rex, Holiday, and Bobo to retrieve Rylander's research. During the briefing it had been mentioned that Rylander had a son, and Six warned Rex not to get his hopes too high on finding out anything about his family. The Pack was also there to try and track down Rylander, the two groups running into each other at Rylander's facility. As The Pack battled with the group from Providence, Six ordered Rex to find Rylander while he, Bobo, Holiday, and the pair of jump jets that had been sent to secure the area held off The Pack. Rylander wasn't Rex's father as Rex had hoped but revealed that Rex had been purposely infested with the prototype batch of nanites in order to save his life following an accident, mentioning that Rex had a brother. Rylander injected Rex with something and was about to explain more about Rex's past when Van Kleiss came and struck him down. Rex and Van Kleiss fought, Rex losing until Rylander shoved both Van Kleiss and himself into the reactor, killing them both. The facility was destroyed, and Rylander's research was lost.
However, Van Kleiss would return when the unstable nanites of Abysus started spreading out of control. Six set up a diversion using Bobo so he, Holiday, and Rex could travel off the grid to check out the situation, meeting up with The Pack and an EVO girl named "Circe" whom Rex had met on a previous breakout though she'd ultimately joined The Pack. In order to stop the nanites from spreading, Rex refused the option of resurrecting Van Kleiss (which The Pack had tried to trick Rex into doing) and instead communicated with them. While this succeeded, it resulted in the nanites contracting. Six and Holiday nearly drowned in the gray ooze of nanites when Rex revived Van Kleiss. Van Kleiss took control over the nanites of Abysus and saved Six and Holiday's lives in exchange for Rex joining The Pack. However, Rex had only said that to get close enough to cure Van Kleiss, rendering him powerless. Unfortunately, The Pack was able to escape.
This would not be the last they'd see of Van Kleiss. There were still EVOs willing to follow the de-powered Pack leader, and he used them to launch a successful assault on The Keep--a flying battleship used by Providence--while Rex was on board. He managed to drain Rex of his nanites, having studied the ones Rex had left behind when he'd cured Van Kleiss. He then had Biowulf throw the now powerless Rex out of The Keep. Six managed to catch Rex using his jump jet and brought him, Holiday, Bobo, and Noah back to Providence HQ. During an examination that confirmed what Van Kleiss had done, Holiday discovered what Rylander had injected Rex with: a special control nanite...though it had nothing to control. She theorized that an influx of nanites would be able to restore Rex's abilities but there was no time to test it since Van Kleiss had sent The Keep on a collision course with headquarters. While Rex, Bobo, and Noah went to Purgatory Base to test Holiday's theory, Six remained at headquarters to try and stop Van Kleiss who kept adding more soldiers to his EVO ranks using a new ability courtesy of Rex's stolen nanites that allowed him to create EVOs. Six managed to take down several of these EVOs but was nearly transformed into an EVO himself by Van Kleiss until Rex--powers restored and even improved--arrived back on the scene. Six held off more of Van Kleiss's minions while Rex took on Van Kleiss himself. Van Kleiss managed to escape while some of The Pack was imprisoned.
Unfortunately, a good chunk of Providence headquarters and The Keep had been destroyed during The Pack's attack. While Rex stayed with Noah while headquarters was getting rebuilt, Six preferred to stay at headquarters, Rex teasingly referring to him as a "ninja-hobo" since his temporary quarters consisted of him sleeping under his jump jet. When Noah was changed into an EVO by Van Kleiss and went on a rampage around the city, Six and Bobo made sure that civilians weren't hurt. Though Noah was cured, it had all been a diversion set up by Van Kleiss in order for Breach to steal Providence headquarters' new power core. Once again, Van Kleiss managed to escape.
Though Six did see Rex cure many EVOs over his time with Providence, it wasn't until after all this that he with the rest of One's students brought Rex to their teacher. Sadly, One turned out to be incurable. Six with Rex's help managed to defeat Dos through IV, protecting the EVO One with the intent of bringing him to Providence, Six wanting to take care of the man who'd taken care of him. During Rex's last attempt at a cure, One managed to speak through Rex, telling Six that he was proud of him just before he died. Despite having defeated the other most dangerous people on Earth, Six remained ranked as the sixth most dangerous, telling Rex that they weren't ranked by fighting abilities. (The ranking system will be explained in the "Personality" section.)
Six's promise to Rex upon first meeting him to help find the boy's family has somewhat been fulfilled with the appearance of Rex's brother Caesar, a brilliant if oddball scientist who'd worked on the nanite project with their parents. Six, however, is rather suspicious of him. Caesar had been missing for five years and had only returned to retrieve the Omega-1 nanite, the special control nanite in Rex.
Six was especially suspicious of Caesar after Rex ended up trapped in the middle of the desert with Van Kleiss and battled their enemy ZAG-RS. Her ruined housing along with her program was brought back to Providence. Caesar revealed that he'd been the one to create the AI. ZAG-RS had originally been a nanite containment program for the Nanite Project, instructed to destroy any nanites that escaped the scientists' holding tank. Caesar reboots the program, but Holiday notices that her memory has been wiped clean. Caesar claimed that Van Kleiss must've initiated a program dump when he weakened ZAG-RS, but there remained some doubt. Particularly since Van Kleiss--who'd also been present at ground zero during the Nanite Event--had claimed that it had been Caesar that had caused the Event. Though Van Kleiss isn't the most trustworthy person, without ZAG-RS's memory banks, there was no way to tell who was telling the truth.
Not long afterward, Six went to sleep in his quarters at Providence and Awoke in Nautilus.
Character Personality:
Six is a rather stoic man. He often comes across as cold, even unemotional. He doesn't say much, making what he doesn't say just as important if not more so than what he does. Because of the sunglasses he almost never takes off, he's very difficult to read.
While he may not have a genius-level intellect, Six is rather intelligent, able to analyze a situation swiftly and efficiently. Particularly on the battlefield. For example, while an EVO'd Noah had been on the rampage, Six managed to stop a pedestrian bridge from falling by using his katanas to slice through a pair of light poles and maneuver them into place to support the bridge. (Full details on these swords are in the "Powers" section.)
As a former mercenary, orders are orders though he'll choose to ignore them if he finds them unreasonable enough. He can also be rather suspicious, constantly keeping an eye on his surroundings in case of a threat. He'll also spend a good chunk of his off-hours training.
However, there's more to Six's personality than the unemotional soldier. He can be incredibly stubborn when he puts his mind to it. He has occasionally shown a rather dry sense of humor though Noah has complained that he hates it when Six "tries to be funny". Most of these flashes, however, seem to occur only when in the company of those people he chooses to protect and possibly care for.
Also, he has at times acted a bit paternal towards Rex. As explained in the "History" section, he'd been willing to walk away and leave Rex behind in the hidden village of engineers, even telling the boy that it was a nice place as a hint. Of course, he's obviously not the perfect parent. While he will offer some words of advice, there are some topics which he's no help on, one example being women whom he admits he doesn't have a clue about.
Six mentioned to Rex that he'd once been well on his way to becoming the new One. What changed that was Six meeting Rex. Coupled with his statement to Dos that the Spaniard's problem was that he lacked mercy and the fact that Six had been unwilling to show his father figure the "mercy" of death like his "siblings" had when it became obvious that One was incurable, it's easy to deduce that what ranks Six last among the six most dangerous people on Earth is because he isn't as ruthless and merciless as the others.
He also possesses a sense of honor. When Holiday's sister had been re-captured, Knight had demanded to know why she was still alive. Six reminded Knight that the deal Holiday had made was that as long as her sister didn't kill anyone, it was allowed to stay in the special pen designed for her. He'd even ordered the troops to handle Holiday's sister carefully.
Powers:
In addition to knowing scores of martial arts, Six is incredibly agile and fast, at times resembling little more than a blur. His reaction time is remarkably quick. Amazingly enough, these abilities seem to be naturally trained as opposed to being the result of any actual super powers. Little wonder he became the sixth most dangerous man on Earth.
He carries a small arsenal of sharp weapons on him such as numerous shuriken. However, his most notable weapons are a pair of katanas which can fold up into their handles. They're kept in the sleeves of his suit. These blades are capable of cutting through almost anything and can be joined together to form a sort of bladed staff or a tuning-fork like device that can be used to manipulate metallic objects such as an entire car.
He also has a hoverboard which allows him to fly without the use of a jet.
Samples
First person:
[PRIVATE / LOCKED TO REX]
[The camera clicks on to show Six's stoic face. To the trained eye, however, Six is showing slight concern.]
Rex, we need to talk. It's about Holiday. Her memory of the past few months...[He pauses.]...at Providence is gone.
[PUBLIC]
[The image jumps for a second. Six's face is as impassive as ever.]
Would anyone know a decent swordsmith? Or even a non-specialized bladesmith?
Third Person:
Six moved swiftly and flawlessly through each kata, each one blending into the next with well-practiced skill. At the same time, his mind wandered to try and fully grasp what Rex had been teaching him.
He'd yet to fully get the hang of "bending" though it wasn't due to lack of belief in the basic idea of one's will influencing the surrounding world. Six knew from personal experience how powerful a person's will could be. After all, One had managed to keep his human mind for five years in spite of everything.
Six's movements lost their fluidity for less than a second before he recovered. He resumed the flow of each kick, punch, and block. The combination moves were soothing, allowing him to relax.
Still, despite knowing that it took great strength of will to be able to properly bend, Six remained uncomfortable about it all. It was almost too easy. What was to stop someone from willing themselves to be the greatest fighter in the universe or simply willing that they rule over the multiverse? With a powerful enough will, no one would be able to stop that person.
He flicked his wrists to deploy his katanas, belatedly remembering that they weren't there. However, just because he didn't have them in hand didn't mean he was allowed to get sloppy. He mimed through the series of katas he should've been armed for. Experimentally, he imagined the feel of the handles in his calloused hands, the glint of the light off their keen edges, and the weight of the blades.
As he went through each movement, the feel became less and less imaginary. He continued, focusing on how the blades were an extension of himself. Of course, that wasn't as literal as Rex and his BFS, but the same basic principle applied.
He paused. He could definitely feel the familiar weight in his hands now. He opened his eyes, not remembering precisely when he'd closed them, and saw light glinting off of metal. He smirked as he saw that instead of empty air, he was holding his katanas. Better yet, unlike the other times he'd made the attempt, the blades didn't fade away into nothingness.
He folded them up and replaced them back into his sleeves. Something that could've qualified as a tiny smile appeared on his lips.
Finally.
