After some time away from the facility Blackburn had took some time to a land of Japan. Blackburn took intrest in the armours desgins and would incorporate it with his Military gear (it had been modenised for anomalous threats). Though he doesn't wear he expensive style of armour he wears the foot solider variation (a better suiting style for his position). He had upgraded his arm and gave it colour to better fit his line of work. His sword is custom made aswell as it's holster. his eyes and hair show but his face is still covered with a mechanical face mask. His hat acts more like a bow on top of a present to make the design more old school. the cape is purely for looks and provides no battle advantage. This trip has been more of a spiritual journey than it has a physical. Blackburn has given up smoking and Drinking to persue a more healthy lifestyle in both physical and mental states.
