In Brief: An AEGIS agent pilots a walking tank in defense of Truth, Justice, and the American Way.

Residence: Freedom City (Lonely Point Naval Base).

Catchphrase: “It's time for a little shock and awe.”

Identity: Secret / Classified.

Birthplace: Eglin Air Force Base (roughly three miles away from Valparaiso, Florida).

Occupation: AEGIS agent tasked with piloting the X-09 Armored Mobility Platform.

Affiliations: AEGIS, the USAF, DARPA, and the DoD.

Family: Meryl Stone (wife), Lilly Stone (daughter).

Description: Ethan Stone is a tall, athletic man with bright blue eyes, cropped black hair, and an easy smile. As Upgrade he pilots the X-09 Armored Mobility Platform, an enormous suit of chrome powered-armor designed to showcase the very latest of America's experimental weapons technology.

Age: 35.

Apparent Age: Mid-thirties.

Gender: Male.

Ethnicity: Caucasian (European-American).

Height: 6’2”.

Weight: 185bs.

Hair: Black.

Power Descriptions: The X-09 AMP has been equipped with a staggering array of cutting-edge weaponry, nearly impenetrable armored plating, reactive defenses, strength augmentation, supersonic flight, and an autonomous repair system – all powered by a uniquely compacted LFTR thorium reactor.

History: Seven years ago USAF pilot Ethan Stone was shot down over enemy territory and spent three weeks trapped behind enemy lines. Despite overwhelming odds he managed to evade capture, sabotage multiple enemy installations, and eventually commandeer the aircraft with which he made his daring escape. The escapade resulted in a recruitment offer from AEGIS and his competency there made him worthy to serve his nation in a new way: as the pilot of the X-09 AMP, known to the world as Upgrade.

Personality & Motivation: Ethan Stone has dreamed of flying since he was a very small child and his choice of career was no surprise. Fittingly, he has a light and breezy personality backed by a steely, patriotic determination to see things through. As Upgrade he is intended to serve as equal parts a superhero and piece of living propaganda. The AMP is designed to show the American citizen that their government doesn't have to rely on supernatural powers: a man and his machine are more than enough.

Powers & Tactics: Although Ethan Stone doesn't have super-powers of his own, he is a highly skilled agent of AEGIS and his training makes him more than a match for most mundane opponents. As Upgrade he has access to an indestructible war-machine equipped with state of the art weaponry. In combat Upgrade will position his substantial bulk between his enemies and any noncombatants in the area before attempting to overcome his foes with all of the force afforded to him by superior firepower.

Complications:

Accident -- The X-09 AMP is more of a vehicle than a suit and its size can be disadvantageous.

Honor -- As propaganda, Upgrade is expected to conduct himself in a manner befitting a hero.

Responsibility -- Upgrade's actions are beholden to the whims of the Department of Defense.
