Background

FILE: SWIFT

Jonathon Surhoff was born the son of Chief Surhoff and his wife Janice in the suburbs of Michigan. Even as a young boy, Jonathon wanted nothing more than to be a super-hero, or the second best option a law enforcement official leading him to greatly look up to his father who is the Police Chief of MCPD. He and his friends would spend endless hours designing super-hero costumes and heroic identities for themselves. As a child Jonathon was multi-talented in multiple aspects; he was the Junior World Mixed Martial Arts Champion, a brilliant hacker with a photo graphic memory, and world class gymnast. At this precocious age, the seeds of Jonathon's future crime-fighting career began to foment.

When Jonathon was 13, his mother Janice, a medic, was hit by a stray bullet, while helping the victims of a gang riot in Westside. She died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. This incident triggered his hate for gangs and injustice period. Due to this Jon unconsciously blamed his father for not being there and immediately became infatuated with the Gotham City's most legendary phantom of the night – the Owl.

Around the age of 15 Jonathon found an opportunity that would ultimately change his life forever. The Millennium City Police Department decided to host the Million Dollar Masquerade Ball at Club Caprice. Dozens of Millennium City's most affluent leading citizens, including the likes of Gabriel Cole were expected to attend. Jonathon made a stylish, cowless version of The Owl's costume based upon designs that he first conceived as a child. For the most part, he intended on crashing the party as the new "Swift" to catch Cole's attention after doing some detective work of his own discovering that Mr. Cole was indeed The Owl. When he arrived however, he found that somebody else had decided to crash the party before him. A costumed criminal named Foxbat and his cronies raided the club, grabbing Gabriel Cole as a hostage. It was their intent to rob the charity proceeds as well as extort hundreds of thousands of dollars from Millennium City's wealthiest patrons.

Jonathon now found himself acting as Swift in deed as well as in name. He tackled Foxbat in the hopes of rescuing Gabriel Cole from his clutches, giving him the time the change into his "work" clothes. Returning to the scene with his partner, Dark Wing(Former Swift), The Owl discovered that Foxbat had been defeated by the Swift Osprey. But hilariously received collateral damage by getting stuck in the gunk caused by Foxbat's Bubble gun. Though appreciative Owl chided the Swift Osprey harshly for his foolish antics, and warned him against pursuing such a reckless lifestyle. Hearing such criticism from a man he idolized for so long was a shock for Jonathon, but it did not deter him from his chosen path. Despite his disapproval, he sent him Owlrangs via Alexander Cole, who subtly revealed to him that he was Darkwing (as if Jonathon didn't already know). Due to Jonathan being able to solve the case, The Owl accepted his antics and had The Swift Osprey as an unofficial sidekick as well as unveiling his secret identity as Jonathon laughed letting Gabriel know that he was well aware.

After years of working with the Owl Jonathon became enrolled in MCU giving him less time for crime fighting. This in turn has caused great tension between himself and The Owl whose soul purpose is "The Mission". The turmoil between him and his mentor has slowly but surely pushed him away from continuing his "work" with his idol. One evening after arriving late to a crime scene due to his Professor not letting him leave Cole verbally lashed out at the tardiness of his young ward, this being the last straw for Jon, he then detached his cape and threw it in the face of the Owl. From that day forth he became his own hero that goes by the name of Osprey.

Jonathon is now 21 and works as a club promoter for the top clubs all over the world such as MC's Club Caprice. He is also a non-lethal Bounty hunter/Vigilante which helps pay for his lavish life style. After years since the fall out with The Owl, they are both over the argument and help each other during their times of need and are dual defenders of Millennium City.

Personality

FILE: PERSONALITY PROFILE

Jonathon Surhoff is a serious but easy-going young man in his early to mid-20s and is a "player" of sorts, voted most attractive in high school and well as Mr. MCU due to his flirtatious nature. He will approach everything with the confidence born of amazing talent and incredible training, yet manage to never seem pretentious in the slightest, always caring for others and being genuinely attentive. At times, a casual observer might think his Motivation is Thrill of Adventure - he finds rooftop acrobatics or driving the Hover cycle just plain *fun*, gets an obvious sense of satisfaction from bringing justice and happiness to the people, and has always some light banter ready for combat - although he’s not a motormouth like some heroes we wont mention......... he usually seems very relaxed when doing the vigilante thing. However, what actually makes him tick is a deep, burning desire to make the world a better, safer place where justice actually exists. Like the Owl, he wants no kid to ever suffer the losses he went through ; unlike the Owl he does not see the world as a cruel and harsh place, but remembers the wonderful childhood he had. This profound difference in their memories of the time before the loss lets Osprey fight for a better, safer world for honest people around him while his former mentor fights to crush evil. While Owl follows his own obsessive rules, Osprey is actually sane and a part of society. However, like the Owl, he has a very strong “nobody dies on my watch” code.

Osprey’s courage is amazing - he has faced so much danger and monstrous opponents straight from a nightmare since his early teens that he seems to be fearless and take physical pain in stride without much of a shock. To him it’s a mere part of his job, and he can actually defy physical or mental torture with a smile. Even when badly hurt, he’ll still act in a stalwart and generous way, saving innocents and bearing little grudge. Likewise, although his life has been a terrifying emotional grinder, he’s outgoing, gentle and well-adjusted. Despite being a huge hit with the ladies with his attractiveness, confidence and boy next door charm, his romantic life keeps turning into a minefield through little fault of his own. He keeps trying, though and has an easy, flattering, gently flirting manner.

Equipment

FILE: SUIT

The Osprey suit is a bodysuit made of hardened kevlar plates on a titanium-dipped fiber and is broken into multiple pieces of armor over a more flexible bodysuit for greater mobility. Unlike his mentor The Owl Osprey does not have a cowl or cape allowing the wearer to freely swivel and move his neck without moving the rest of his upper torso as was a characteristic of his mentors previous version of the Owlsuit. The Osprey suit, has blades on the sides of it's gauntlets and are now retractable and are capable of firing outwards as projectiles. Lastly the frontal chest region contains an extra protective plate in the shape of the Osprey symbol.

FILE: MASK

The mask is made of a titanium dipped form fitting leather mold. Not only does the mask conceals Jonathon's identity but it also has "sonar-vision", in which signals emitted by mobile phones are converted into images in a similar way to sonar. In order to view the-said images, as well providing night vision. To enable this white lenses fold down from Osprey's mask to cover his eyes, the lenses are made of a highly tempered reflective glass that post images of the functions that the mask holds.

FILE: UTILITY BELT

The Utility Belt is a specialized belt Osprey wears to equip his crime-fighting gear. The utility belt is a modified climbing harness, with magnetized impact-resistant pouches, and canisters attached to the belt at ergonomic points for ease of reach. It carries a Magnetic Gas-Powered Grapple Gun, Preyrangs, a Medical Kit, Smoke Pellets, Sticky Web Clusters, remote control for his vehicles, mini-cam, money, and other unspecified equipment.

Preyrangs are roughly osprey-shaped throwing weapons used by Osprey. The name is a portmanteau of Osprey and boomerang. Although Preyrangs are named after boomerangs, they are more similar to shurikens.

The Grapple Gun is a special item Osprey uses to scale up or rappel down tall buildings, or swing between Millennium City's skyscrapers on successive lines. Similar to a grappling hook and speargun, the line gun uses a strong clamp attached to a high-tensil wire for scaling surfaces and/or traversing gaps. It can be recovered by releasing the clamp and rewinding the cable. It was based from one that is designed as compact climbing gear for commando units.It is propelled with compressed air, and works with a magnetic grappling iron. The thin climbing cable was tested on a load-carrying capacity of 350 lbs.

Smoke Pellets use a formula that consists of an oxidizer (typically potassium chlorate, KClO3), a fuel (generally sugar), a moderate (such as sodium bicarbonate) to keep the reaction from getting too hot, and a powdered organic dye. The burning of this mixture evaporates the dye and forces it out of the device, where it condenses in the atmosphere to form a "smoke" of finely dispersed particles.

Web Clusters is a high-powered projectile containing a shear-thinning liquid (virtually solid until a shearing force is applied to it, rendering it fluid) that on contact with air, the long-chain polymer knits and forms an extremely tough, flexible fiber with extraordinary adhesive properties, which detonates on impact, and can be used to temporary incapacitate thugs.
