Nick Fury has been the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. for decades and has become almost synonymous with the agency he runs, at least to the people who know about him. While the world knows about S.H.I.E.L.D. most people haven't heard of Nick Fury or know what he looks like but you better believe he's a known quantity in most world governments and with the world's various superhero teams, which he likes to keep a personal eye on.

Personality

Click to expand.

Anonymous:
No one truly knows the real Nick Fury. His personnel file is almost completely redacted. He has a thousand different aliases, with a thousand different lives lived; all he has to do is pull a card, and like a puff of smoke, he's gone. Despite 20 years as the Director of SHIELD, Fury barely exists in the public awareness.

Driven:
The mission always comes first. Nick cares very little for feelings or emotions when weighed against operational concerns. He is a demanding taskmaster who holds his people to a very high standard. But there is no one Nick is harder on than himself. Such a personality leaves little time for family or even friends.

Loyal:
Personified in the form of Nick Fury. He's loyal to SHIELD and its Mission, and he'll stop at nothing to make sure that it outlives him when he's gone. He's loyal to //his// people, and will do whatever he can to be sure that they are prepared and ready to fulfill their duties. Sometimes it comes with a challenge; he's not one to hold hands. 'Figure it out' is a common statement.

No Nonsense:
Nick is not the most pleasant of people to be around on good days. He cuts to the heart of the matter with every conversation, with every briefing. There is no question as to how he feels on a certain matter, and he won't hide it.

Skills

Click to expand.

Armed Combat:
Thanks to his military training and combat experience in field, Nick knows how to use firearms to his full advantage. He is proficient with the operation and service of every standard infantry weapon fielded by NATO and the Soviet Bloc. Fury is a superb marksman with skills comparable to world-class firearms experts. He has hands-on experience with most US combat vehicles.

Covert Ops:
Nick Fury is a master of planning, coordinating, and predicting covert operations. It is almost like he knows what is going to happen before it does, and he maintains a firm grasp on lines of intel going out and coming in, that is incredibly effective. He has the ability to see a piece of information, and determine whether it is reliable intel or if it is fake. His grasp of this intricate web of lies, deceipt and covert operations is astounding. His ability to manipulate sources, to coordinate covert operations, and assign just the right people to an assignment is amazing. That is what makes him such an excellent Director of SHIELD.

Espionage:
Nick Fury has been the Director of the most powerful Law Enforcement and Espionage Organization in the World for years. He has the training, experience, and knowledge from years in the field as a soldier, and as a spy. He is a master of espionage with almost no equal. He understands the intricacies of the "world" of espionage, and has watched, trained with, and by the best the world has ever known. This involves the direction and use of the most advanced tools, equipment, personnel and weapons in the world...our in some cases, out of this world.

Leadership:
Honed over the years by not only study but by application in the various fields, Nick has learned what works to motivate and lead and what does not. He gets to know his people, studies them and their files and sometimes works out elaborate plans to get the best from them.

Multitalented:
You learn a bit of everything, living Fury's life. Fury can survive in adverse environments with minimal gear or preparation. He can pick locks, break into cars, and surveil a target anonymously. He can speak conversationally in Vietnamese, ASL, French, and Russian. Armed with a translation dictionary and a long plane ride, Fury can hit the ground running with enough local lingo to make himself understood quickly and easily. He has all the skills one could want to drop an operative in a foreign country with a map and a compass, and come back four months later to their soldier now leading well-trained local militia.

Tactics:
Nick's life is a carefully thought out and considered path of checks and cross-checks. Through his experience of the tight scope of the military to the less over-sight of his intelligence work, he has managed to play the cat and mouse game and come out on the other side, more or less successful. In that, he's honed his skills in order to play the 'long game', always multiple moves ahead of his opponent. Studying and applying the tactics of famous generals and leaders in history doesn't hurt either.

Unarmed Combat:
Nick has a firm foundation in soldier hand to hand combat systems. He holds a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and a brown belt in Jiu Jitsu. He is more than able to keep up with younger and more energetic soldiers and defend himself effectively against multiple attackers. He trains anonymously in local clubs and gyms in order to keep his skills honed.

Wheelman:
Fury is a highly skilled driver and operator. He can deftly handle military and civilian vehicles; knows how to drive defensively and aggressively; he has instrument ratings on a handful of light aircraft, and is fully qualified to pilot several small helicopter types as well as SHIELD's iconic Quinjets. Outside of the world of competitive racing, he's a hard man to keep up with behind the wheel.

Resources

Click to expand.

Contacts:
Thanks to his extensive career in the field all around the world, both militarily and in the more secretive arena, he has made contacts, allies and in some cases good acquaintances of which he can ask for favors. This network reaches from the highest levels of governments down to the humble goatherd. As a result, he can virtually be assured of a 'blind eye' when flying into hostile airspace when need be, or communication with or information regarding any of his Agents at any time.

Infinity Serum:
No one lives forever, but there are a certain few who are more than willing to add a few years onto their lifespan. To that end, Nick is the recipient of the Infinity Serum, which has effectively stopped the aging process for him. While he is 70 years old and counting, he has the appearance of a man in his mid-50s.

Safehouses:
Nick has places he can run to ground all over the world. Some of them are known SHIELD safehouses, but the bulk of them are completely off the grid. These can range from an apartment in Eastern Europe to a cave in one of the -stans. With each safehouse comes a potential new identity so he can be assured that he won't be found unless he wants to be.

Shield:
SHIELD is a US-led NATO counter-terrorism and intelligence agency, tasked with maintaining both national and global security with a focus on alien threats, magic, super-science, and exotic weapons and materials. It has a budget in the billions of dollars and pursues the use of extremely cutting-edge technology. Fury has prioritized retaining a small cadre of highly elite, well-trained personnel who are highly effective at their jobs. SHIELD's annual budget is not entirely a black bag but Fury has significant discretion for what he spends, as long as he produces results. SHIELD has numerous bases and outposts, as well as a fleet of airships, helicopters, jets, carriers, tanks, planes, trucks, weapons, and equipment. Enough to outfit their thousands of soldiers, spies, technicians and experts, to tackle any threat imaginable.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

Dedicated:
Nick is dedicated to SHIELD's mission; he is all-in. This may lead him to, in some cases, heated disagreements with those that are tasked to oversee the Agency, and as a result, may cause real problems. He will disobey direct orders from his 'superiors' if he feels that he's in the right, and will always choose life and those he protects from the darkness.

Enemies:
With all his experience in the field, there are absolutely people and organizations with whom his dealings were not so positive. Like his contacts, this includes some government officials at the highest levels down to the noble goatherd. He has a target on his back wherever he goes, and he is very much aware of it. They will not only stop at nothing to target him personally, but they will go after his beloved SHIELD and/or his Field Agents in order to get to him.

Look Into My Eye:
Fury lost his left eye in an incident some years previous. There's much speculation and little hard fact about how or why it happened. There is significant scarring around the socket itself, and underneath his eye patch his eyelid droops heavily over a cataract-filled pupil, eye dull and lifeless. It makes him have to turn around more than he'd like.

Paranoid:
It's only paranoia if they AREN'T out to get you. Nick Fury doesn't trust easily or often. He snoops and spies on his own people and keeps his teams highly comparmentalized, with himself at the center of the web. His life is a world of traps, blinds, and precautions at all times. Even the people he trusts are sometimes caught up in his world of 'need to know'. For Fury, absolute paranoia is absolute awareness.
