Profile

Ohio is a nosy, smart-alecky sniper who’s at his best on overwatch for his team from a high vantage. Out of the field, he likes to crack jokes, play stupid games, and take nothing seriously. Like at all. Ever. He thinks it’s good for morale, and though he's gotten his ass kicked for saying the wrong thing to the wrong person more than once, he has learned nothing. As an agent, he’s in the middle of the pack. Though he’s reliable, his record is no standout.

Ohio works with the AI designated Pi.
He has specialized equipment that allows accelerated thought, letting him process lots of information and channel it rapidly into adaptive combat plans. In great detail. Simultaneously. Under fire. Pi’s focus steers this process, otherwise it would overwhelm him and leave him with nothing but a nasty headache.
(The headache is guaranteed either way.)
Prolonged use of this equipment is very dangerous, but she can keep these leaps short enough to avoid doing permanent damage.

Pi and Ohio’s bond is tight. Perhaps too tight. Things have been getting extremely unprofessional and weird and affectionate there. It’s a disaster just waiting to happen.

Ohio is one of the walking wounded left in the wake of Project Freelancer. He bolted when the order went out to decommission Freelancer AIs, and was punished for his resistance even though Pi finally decided to go quietly in one last attempt to protect him.

Ohio is trapped in a high-stress job by a combination of contract and military secrecy. Even when the Director’s crimes were brought to light and what was left of the project dismantled, Ohio was just shuffled deeper into different unethical secret programs. He’d already proven his worth in one.

He is a bitter man with many dead friends, and staunchly refuses to deal with any of the confused emotional wreckage left behind when Pi was removed.

He still works well, but his ability to bond with a team was badly damaged. He can shoot aliens. He can kill insurrectionists. But he can’t get attached to anyone like that again if he wants to survive. Surviving's all Ohio really does, these days.

He also still gets the headaches with none of the perks.
