Background Info
Vulcan is typically reluctant to discuss his origins, leaving his past life largely unknown. What is understood is that he served in the Gulf and Bosnian Wars and that he left active duty to spend aimless years readjusting to civilian life to no avail, finally resorting to vigilantism.

Because of his combat experience, he was handpicked by Crystal Ackerman to be a member of the Ascendant Androids. Though he never consented, he came to enjoy his tenure and later became leader. When the team collapsed, he was once more left to be a wandering soul, fighting crime on his own accord.

During a year of drifting, he suffered what he perceived to be internal injuries. He sought help from maverick scientist Dr. Cossack, looking for repairs. Becoming quick friends, Vulcan discovered that he had terminal lung cancer. Although unable to escape death, he was given the chance to live on in a body made from classified biomechanical research gathered by the Ackerman family.

With a new body and better weapons, Vulcan set out to cleanse the world of crime, but was stopped dead in his tracks when he learned that the Beta Armors had been twisted and mutilated by the Scissor Army to fit a series of deranged hosts. Feeling a sense of guilt, he begrudgingly joined the RPD, reprising his role as a soldier with the added threat of the Shutdown Code.

One year later, the death of a good friend and the impeding sense of loneliness he suffered twice before has driven him to reform the Ascendant Androids. Reuniting with Crys and Stryker, as war buddy Walter Garland, Vulcan founded the Collateral Damage agency, fighting crime with passion... for the right price.

 

Character Info
A self-proclaimed nihilist, Vulcan sternly upholds the opinion that existence and by extension the human element itself, is meaningless. Seeing the world as nothing but a matter of interpretation, he remains open to all theories and possibilities. Despite this, he has fallen into a series of hardlines as a result of depression only to regain his senses once something more significant snaps him out of it.

Not one to settle down and be bored, Vulcan will endlessly seek new activities to keep sound mind and body. He is charismatic and hardworking, but also very eccentric. Often finding difficulty in keeping eye contact, he wears goggles for personal security. Regardless of an outwardly intense personality, he is generally difficult to form intimate relationships with. A concealed shyness keeps him isolated whenever he is not surrounded by friends, leading him to anxiety and a withdrawn state of being, all of which reignites a recurring depression.

Still, when he is surrounded by friends and living in the same home, he tends to hide away in his room, prattling away at solitary activities unless a more interesting event takes place. His isolation is absolute enough that he has a miniature office set up, complete with a microwave, coffeemaker and refrigerator and couch. Despite his reclusive behavior, it does nothing to deplete his capacity as a leader. Remaining social and active at work every other day, he's rarely seen as a shut-in.
