==Biography==
 
==Biography==
  +
César Ruiz Hernández was eleven years old when a bomb destroyed his home, killing his father and sister and severely injuring his mother. With the help of Specialist Azucena Rocío "Amaru" Quispe, César's mother Sofia taught him to observe his surroundings, and to avoid the other boys his age who had been drawn into gang-related affairs. She encouraged him to enroll at the Heroic Naval Military School, where he graduated as a teniente de corbeta. He joined the Naval Infantry, then the Amphibious Commando Battalion, participating extensively in anti-smuggling operations and several high-profile arrests. Becoming a member of the Fuerzas Especiales introduced him to the reality that drugs were no longer the primary source of income for the cartels. He began working with UNESCO and INTERPOL to combat antiquities trafficking, where he gained the attention of Rainbow as a mind with a keen tactical sense and exceptional forward-thinking.
HE IS TYPE THICK WORD 2 LIKE MOHAMMED RAFI>Born to a fishing family on the coast of Kenya, Furaha spent his childhood hunting sharks and collecting lost treasures from the ocean floor of the Lamu Archipelago. It soon became apparent that he was able to stay underwater far longer than his peers, and medical exploration revealed an abnormal physiology that contributed to Furaha's long-held belief that he was “not from here.” When the opportunity arose to join the Kenyan Navy, and later the Kenya Special Boat Unit, he put his skills to good use. He quickly drew the attention of generals within the navy as well as the worldwide scientific community for his prolific and frequent record-breaking freedives. He later transitioned to [[NIGHTHAVEN]], drawn by the promise of more down-time and a private boat to take him to where his next dive site might be.
 
   
===Psychological Profile===
+
===Psychological Report===
  +
''Specialist César "Goyo" Ruiz Hernández is a rare find. His jacket reads like any normal military trajectory, until you notice the devil behind the details. To confirm my theory, during our first meeting I challenged him to a game of chess. I won't mention how few moves it took him to beat me. César himself seemed to think nothing of it.''
''Talking to Specialist Ngũgĩ Muchoki “Wamai” Furaha is like talking underwater. Words are exchanged, but it's not certain that meaning follows. […] Surprisingly, I find myself refreshed by our exchanges. There's a purity that comes with free association, with being able to jump from one abstract concept to the next. Furaha senses, too, when other people are likely to get lost – at the moments where I find myself most without an anchor, his quick smile and change of topic reassure me that we have not gone beyond all human thought, never to return. […] It makes me question whether I should be more flexible in my thought processes, followed quickly by wondering, if I were, who I would become.''
 
   
  +
''This humble attitude is at the heart of his character. His mother, Sofia - who protected him from the brunt of the bomb's blast - has cultivated an overtly optimistic worldview. Growing up where he did, when he did, she also instilled in him a cat-and-mouse mindset, to keep him clear of the negative influences that would have been especially tempting to a young fatherless boy with too much time on his hands. She was helped in this by Specialist Azucena Rocío "Amaru" Quispe, whose intermittent presence and strong familial values shored up a gap that Sofia alone couldn't fill. [...] It's clear to me that Quispe, with her inherent attachment to her country and her family history, provided a stabilizing influence during Hernández's undoubtedly troubled adolescence.''
''The existential questions raised by someone who spends their free time anoxic are not those we ask ourselves often. And, perhaps deprived of Furaha's particular sensitivity to these topics, I'm not certain I see value in them. His unaccustomed approach results in strategies that are completely alien. Furaha's ability to conceptualize 3D space in not just the horizontal but the vertical is something I've only seen in the most obsessive of pilots. Yet his internal dimension is surprisingly absent.''
 
   
  +
''Hernández is the kind to think carefully before speaking, a trait which can lead people to underestimate him. He is neither churlish nor aloof, but constantly considering the many angles of the problem set before him. [...] His ability to track and guide his quarry, from determining their route to understanding how they will react to threats, is uncanny. In a prosaic example, he brought Specialist Tina Lin "Frost" Tsang a bottle of apple-flavored soda on the first day of Fall, despite them only having met once before. She was unperturbed, but I could see that Hernández had braced himself for a far less positive outcome.''
''I once spoke with a renowned monk who had spent his life in pursuit of “complete zero.” In him, I saw the same depth of being I see now in Furaha, but where many people's spirituality serves to shore up those parts of their personality that they most admire, theirs is the inverse. Furaha's life is in service to his spirituality. Anoxia is part of his addiction.''
 
   
  +
''Specialist Hernández has otherwise become a staple of our briefings, his incisive questions highlighting new tactical considerations or encouraging out-of-the-box thinking from the other members of the team. I must admit, it's refreshing to see what changes a new perspective and an impeccable poker face can bring to an otherwise very self-assured group of individuals.''
''In all of my consultations, I strive for neutrality. Furaha is a talented operator, capable, intelligent, and unpredictable. His ability to put a room at ease is invaluable. Yet one never has the sense that they hold the whole picture of him in their mind. Like the nitrogen that must disperse back into the diver's body before resurfacing, Furaha's true nature is diffuse. To define him would be to limit him, and I have the distinct sense that there is nothing he would despise more.''

==Gameplay Description==
 
==Gameplay Description==
  +
Goyo's unique gadget is the Volcán Shield. While appearing like a [[Deployable Shield]] from the front, it has a large explosive can concealed on the back. The explosive detonates when fired upon, leaving a carpet of flames, allowing the shields to act as a trap for Attackers who vault over it.
A Medium Armored Operator, Wamai's Unique Gadget is the Mag-Net, essentially a powerful electromagnet that intercepts and redirects projectiles. As well as drawing projectiles away from their intended targets, it can be used strategically to use Attacker's projectiles against them.
 
   
  +
*Goyo has 3 Volcán Shields and deploys them at a slightly faster rate than a normal Deployable Shield.
*Wamai starts the round with 1 Mag-NET, and gains a new one every 40 seconds, carrying up to 5 Mag-NETs.
 
  +
*The Volcán Shield will detonate and release its incendiary explosives if its explosive pack is damaged by gunfire, explosion, or melee attack from either side.
*The Mag-NET is deployed by throwing and can stick to any surface.
 
  +
**The explosives will also detonate if the shield itself is destroyed, be it from explosions, [[Sledge]]'s Breaching Hammer, or when an Operator stands on top of it. In all three cases, Goyo loses the shield permanently.
:*Mag-NETs can be easily destroyed by any damage source.
 
  +
**The Shield's explosive can is immune to electricity, allowing [[Kaid]] or [[Bandit]] to interact with it safely. [[Twitch|Twitch's]] Drones cannot trigger the explosives.
*When an Attacker projectile enters a Mag-NET's active radius of 6 meters and line of sight, the Mag-NET will stop the projectile's flight midair, reset the projectile's detonation timer, attract the projectile toward it, then detonate it at the Mag-NET's location 3.5 seconds after the Mag-NET has grabbed the projectile.
 
  +
*The explosion deals 34 damage to a 2 armor Operator at close range.<!--40 to 1 armor, 30 to 3 armor? Needs verification-->
:*The Mag-NET self-destructs in a small explosion 0.5 seconds before detonating the projectile. The explosion deals very little damage and causes a small amount of physical destruction, but can still destroy barricades, Deployable Shields, and friendly gadgets.
 
  +
*The fire deals 12 points of damage per tick and inflicts three ticks of damage per second. It lasts around 10 seconds before dissipating. Neither the explosion nor the fire damage any gadgets.
:*Each Mag-NET can only grab one projectile. It will always self-destruct after activating, even if the projectile was destroyed before reaching the Mag-NET.
 
:*If a Mag-NET is destroyed before its projectile explodes, the grabbed projectile will be dropped and return to normal behavior.
 
:*Projectiles attracted by Mag-NETs are physically normal, and those that can be destroyed by gunfire can still be destroyed when they are captured.
 
*The Mag-NET can attract and detonate Attacker projectiles and gadgets, including:
 
::*[[Thatcher|Thatcher's]] EMP Grenades
 
::*[[Ash|Ash's]] Breaching Rounds
 
::*[[Fuze|Fuze's]] Cluster Charges
 
::*[[Capitão|Capitão's]] Smoke and Asphyxiating Bolts
 
::*[[Ying|Ying's]] Candelas
 
::*[[Nomad|Nomad's]] Air Jabs
 
::*[[Zofia|Zofia's]] Concussion and Impact Grenades
 
::*[[Gridlock|Gridlock's]] Trax Stingers. Trax Stingers are not detonated by the Mag-NETs, and will instead drop to the ground after the Mag-NETs self-destruct, and trigger and release Stingers normally.
 
::*[[Kali|Kali's]] LV Lances
 
::*[[Frag Grenade/Siege|Frag Grenade]]s
 
::*[[Smoke Grenade]]s
 
::*[[Stun Grenade]]s
 
*[[Hibana|Hibana's]] X-KAIROS pellets and [[Twitch]]'s Shock Drone charges are not affected by the Mag-NET.
 
*One projectile will not simultaneously activate Wamai's Mag-NETs and [[Jäger]]'s ADS.
 
:* If a projectile simultaneously enters the active radius of a Mag-NET and an ADS, the ADS is prioritized over the Mag-NET.
 
* Kills<!--And damage too? Will you get team damage penalty if your grenade redirected by a Magnet damages a teammate?--> caused by projectiles that were attracted by Mag-NETs are attributed to the original owners of the projectiles, except in the case where a [[Hostage]] who has not moved is damaged by a projectile attracted by a Mag-NET, in which case Wamai is considered to have injured the hostage.
 
:*If the Hostage was moved by an Attacker picking them up however, damage dealt to the hostage from a projectile attracted by a Mag-NET is attributed to the Attacker.
 
   
 
===Synergies===
 
===Synergies===
  +
*[[Kapkan|Kapkan's]] Entry Denial Devices can be used to automatically provide an explosion that triggers the shield.
*Wamai can work with [[Goyo]] to make the Volcán Shield act like a trap if Attackers were to throw something like a Frag Grenade into a Mag-NET's area of effect.
 
  +
*The explosive can provides a surface onto which a [[Lesion|Gu Mine]] can be deployed.
   
 
===Counters===
 
===Counters===
  +
*Any explosives, even a [[Breach Charge]] placed on a nearby floor, will destroy Goyo's gadget. On the other hand, the Vulcan shield can help slow down the push after being triggered by a [[Thermite|Thermal Breach]] on rush-prone bomb sites.
*[[IQ]] can detect the Mag-NET, just like other electronic gadgets.
 
  +
*The gadget is vulnerable to attacks through the floor from above or below, sometimes at the Defenders' surprise.
*If the Mag-NETs do not have a direct line of sight of Thatcher's EMP grenades, they will temporarily disable the Mag-NETs.
 
  +
**[[Amaru|Amaru's]] Garra Hook allows her to quickly rise through a hatch. After having planted a defuser in [[Bomb]], doing so could put her into a good position to use the shield against a Defender.
*While not a direct counter, [[Fuze|Fuze's]] Cluster Charge can destroy a Mag-NET, whilst the other charges can explode within the room.
 
  +
*As defenders tend to avoid damaging the shield, the explosive can serve as a good refuge for Attacker [[drone]]s.

{{Quote|Thrown adhesive gadget that affects and captures an opponent's projectile, and then self-destructs to detonate it.|In-game Description}}
+
{{Quote|Incendiary bomb that explodes when destroyed, attached to a deployable shield.|In-game description}}
  +
Goyo gives a new, dangerous meaning to deception. With him in the field, every deployable shield is a question. Is this a simple obstacle, or could it blow up in your face?
   
  +
Like the ordinary Deployable Shield, the Volcán Shield provides cover and allows Defenders to block pathways, but Goyo turns up the heat with an attached incendiary bomb. From the front, however, there’s little indication of which it might be. Until someone shoots the bomb to make it explode, the shield continues to be an obstacle for the Attackers.
The Mag-NET System is a thrown, adhesive gadget. It sticks to surfaces and walls. Its function is to attract an opponent's projectile to its position, reset the detonation timer, then exploding that projectile.
 
   
  +
Hopefully, Goyo’s teammates will remember to save that explosion for when an Attacker is standing in front of the shield, or climbing over it.<ref name="emberrise" />
This way, not only can Wamai make Attackers' grenades and projectile gadgets useless, but he can also use strategic placement to turn those projectiles against them. There's nothing quite like a commandeered stun or frag grenade to turn the tide in Wamai's favor. Starting with one Mag-NET, Wamai regularly gains an additional charge up to a maximum of five. Make sure to place them wisely, as they can be destroyed with a single hit should they be spotted.
 
   
 
===Device Evaluation===
 
===Device Evaluation===

''[[Mira]], I got to admit I was surprised when you asked me to look over Specialist César "Goyo" Ruiz Hernández's prototype. For someone with a limited knowledge of chemical interactions, he's sure knocked together a bunch of things that will make a loud bang, while causing minimal damage. I'd compare it to a flash-and-dazzle firework, but with more personality.''

''He's used the time-honored mix of kerosene and potassium chlorate as his base, so I had no real improvements to suggest on that front. What I did do was give him the formula for my home brew - a cocktail to trigger a gas explosion using a specific blend of cyanogen, hydrogen, and some other fun stuff. The magnesium casing generates enough heat on impact to ignite the acetylene derivative swirling around the inside and blow the whole thing sky-high. Like I said, impressive without bringing the hypothetical building down around your ears.''
''Mira - ''
 
   
  +
''Hernández had already added a light flame retardant to the mix, but balked at the idea of carrying an actual fire extinguisher. He did mutter something about an "anti-fire grenade" as we walked way, though.''
''Specialist Jaimini Kalimohan (Kali) Shah came to see me. Apparently Specialists Ngũgĩ Muchoki (Wamai) Furaha and Shuhrat (Fuze) Kessikbayev have been spending a lot of time in the shoot house, testing various strategies against each other. Kali was concerned that Fuze might be getting too familiar with her proprietary technology. So let's do just that.''
 
   
  +
''Sorry in advance.''
''As far as perimeter defense systems go, it's pretty smart for a "''not-smart"'' object. Neodymium magnets, arranged in a Halbach cylinder, create the pull when an object of sufficient magnetic mass enters its detection radius. After that, the magnets pull the captured object apart, destroying the device itself in the process. This type of autothysis is wasteful, but effective. Much like Specialist Max (Mozzie) Goose's Pest, nothing is left for the enemy to analyze. Due to the alloys I use in our drones, they won't be affected. Other Operators are going to have to make a decision: Carry only Claymores or Breach Charges, or learn to recognize when the Mag-NET System is active. I will be doing both.''

Revision as of 08:29, 20 February 2020


"A person is never more honest than when they think they're alone."
— Goyo

César Ruiz Hernández, codenamed Goyo, is a Defending Operator featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege. He was introduced in the Operation Ember Rise expansion alongside Amaru.[1]

Biography

César Ruiz Hernández was eleven years old when a bomb destroyed his home, killing his father and sister and severely injuring his mother. With the help of Specialist Azucena Rocío "Amaru" Quispe, César's mother Sofia taught him to observe his surroundings, and to avoid the other boys his age who had been drawn into gang-related affairs. She encouraged him to enroll at the Heroic Naval Military School, where he graduated as a teniente de corbeta. He joined the Naval Infantry, then the Amphibious Commando Battalion, participating extensively in anti-smuggling operations and several high-profile arrests. Becoming a member of the Fuerzas Especiales introduced him to the reality that drugs were no longer the primary source of income for the cartels. He began working with UNESCO and INTERPOL to combat antiquities trafficking, where he gained the attention of Rainbow as a mind with a keen tactical sense and exceptional forward-thinking.

Psychological Report

Specialist César "Goyo" Ruiz Hernández is a rare find. His jacket reads like any normal military trajectory, until you notice the devil behind the details. To confirm my theory, during our first meeting I challenged him to a game of chess. I won't mention how few moves it took him to beat me. César himself seemed to think nothing of it.

This humble attitude is at the heart of his character. His mother, Sofia - who protected him from the brunt of the bomb's blast - has cultivated an overtly optimistic worldview. Growing up where he did, when he did, she also instilled in him a cat-and-mouse mindset, to keep him clear of the negative influences that would have been especially tempting to a young fatherless boy with too much time on his hands. She was helped in this by Specialist Azucena Rocío "Amaru" Quispe, whose intermittent presence and strong familial values shored up a gap that Sofia alone couldn't fill. [...] It's clear to me that Quispe, with her inherent attachment to her country and her family history, provided a stabilizing influence during Hernández's undoubtedly troubled adolescence.

Hernández is the kind to think carefully before speaking, a trait which can lead people to underestimate him. He is neither churlish nor aloof, but constantly considering the many angles of the problem set before him. [...] His ability to track and guide his quarry, from determining their route to understanding how they will react to threats, is uncanny. In a prosaic example, he brought Specialist Tina Lin "Frost" Tsang a bottle of apple-flavored soda on the first day of Fall, despite them only having met once before. She was unperturbed, but I could see that Hernández had braced himself for a far less positive outcome.

Specialist Hernández has otherwise become a staple of our briefings, his incisive questions highlighting new tactical considerations or encouraging out-of-the-box thinking from the other members of the team. I must admit, it's refreshing to see what changes a new perspective and an impeccable poker face can bring to an otherwise very self-assured group of individuals.

Gameplay Description

Goyo's unique gadget is the Volcán Shield. While appearing like a Deployable Shield from the front, it has a large explosive can concealed on the back. The explosive detonates when fired upon, leaving a carpet of flames, allowing the shields to act as a trap for Attackers who vault over it.

  • Goyo has 3 Volcán Shields and deploys them at a slightly faster rate than a normal Deployable Shield.
  • The Volcán Shield will detonate and release its incendiary explosives if its explosive pack is damaged by gunfire, explosion, or melee attack from either side.
    • The explosives will also detonate if the shield itself is destroyed, be it from explosions, Sledge's Breaching Hammer, or when an Operator stands on top of it. In all three cases, Goyo loses the shield permanently.
    • The Shield's explosive can is immune to electricity, allowing Kaid or Bandit to interact with it safely. Twitch's Drones cannot trigger the explosives.
  • The explosion deals 34 damage to a 2 armor Operator at close range.
  • The fire deals 12 points of damage per tick and inflicts three ticks of damage per second. It lasts around 10 seconds before dissipating. Neither the explosion nor the fire damage any gadgets.

Synergies

  • Kapkan's Entry Denial Devices can be used to automatically provide an explosion that triggers the shield.
  • The explosive can provides a surface onto which a Gu Mine can be deployed.

Counters

  • Any explosives, even a Breach Charge placed on a nearby floor, will destroy Goyo's gadget. On the other hand, the Vulcan shield can help slow down the push after being triggered by a Thermal Breach on rush-prone bomb sites.
  • The gadget is vulnerable to attacks through the floor from above or below, sometimes at the Defenders' surprise.
    • Amaru's Garra Hook allows her to quickly rise through a hatch. After having planted a defuser in Bomb, doing so could put her into a good position to use the shield against a Defender.
  • As defenders tend to avoid damaging the shield, the explosive can serve as a good refuge for Attacker drones.

"Incendiary bomb that explodes when destroyed, attached to a deployable shield."
— In-game description

Goyo gives a new, dangerous meaning to deception. With him in the field, every deployable shield is a question. Is this a simple obstacle, or could it blow up in your face?

Like the ordinary Deployable Shield, the Volcán Shield provides cover and allows Defenders to block pathways, but Goyo turns up the heat with an attached incendiary bomb. From the front, however, there’s little indication of which it might be. Until someone shoots the bomb to make it explode, the shield continues to be an obstacle for the Attackers.

Hopefully, Goyo’s teammates will remember to save that explosion for when an Attacker is standing in front of the shield, or climbing over it.[1]

Device Evaluation

Mira, I got to admit I was surprised when you asked me to look over Specialist César "Goyo" Ruiz Hernández's prototype. For someone with a limited knowledge of chemical interactions, he's sure knocked together a bunch of things that will make a loud bang, while causing minimal damage. I'd compare it to a flash-and-dazzle firework, but with more personality.

He's used the time-honored mix of kerosene and potassium chlorate as his base, so I had no real improvements to suggest on that front. What I did do was give him the formula for my home brew - a cocktail to trigger a gas explosion using a specific blend of cyanogen, hydrogen, and some other fun stuff. The magnesium casing generates enough heat on impact to ignite the acetylene derivative swirling around the inside and blow the whole thing sky-high. Like I said, impressive without bringing the hypothetical building down around your ears.

Hernández had already added a light flame retardant to the mix, but balked at the idea of carrying an actual fire extinguisher. He did mutter something about an "anti-fire grenade" as we walked way, though.

Sorry in advance.
