Kerrz's d20 Modern "Be Yourself" Campaign

Alright folks. Here's the place to post your character sheets. Try to keep them out of the main recruiting/ooc thread, and try to keep any discussion out of this thread.

Keith Vargas, PhD: Dedicated Hero 1, Academic

Name: Keith Vargas, PhD
Player: Vigwyn the Unruly

Class: Dedicated Hero
Starting Occupation: Academic (neuroscience postdoc)
Character Level: 1
XP: 0

Age: 32
Gender: Male
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 184 lbs
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Very dark brown to black, w/ graying temples
Skin: Caucasian with average complexion

Abilities:
Explanations of ability scores:
Strength: I am of slightly less than average strength. However, I have extensive knowledge of the neuromuscular system from my research (I have three published papers in the area), and this knowledge allows me to leverage the strength that I do have to accomplish what an average person could.
Dexterity: I am of slightly less than average dexterity. I'm not very fast, don't react particularly quickly, and don't have great aim.
Constitution: I am of slightly better constitution than the general population. I don't get sick very frequently and have quite good stamina. However, I do find certain challenges quickly overwhelm me, such as extreme heat, or I would have given myself a higher score.
Intelligence: My test scores place me in the top 99.6th percentile. That means that if you grab a thousand people at random, only 4 of them will be as smart as I am. If you grab a hundred at random, chances are I'll be the smartest.
Wisdom: I have lived a rich life full of varied experiences. I am happily married and a father of three. I was raised in an enlightened but spiritual home. I have had many setbacks in my 32 years, but have used all of them to learn valuable lessons about life. I have a classic liberal arts education, but also keep up with the latest in current events, politics, and cutting-edge technology.
Charisma: I am relatively empathetic and reasonably handsome. Additionally, as a scientist, I have a modicum of social status and I have learned to use this to my advantage. So, my charisma is a little bit higher than average.

Computer Use: +7 (+3 Int, +4 ranks)
Knowledge (behavioral sciences): +8 (+3 Int, +4 ranks, +1 competence) Note: my undergraduate degree in a Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Sciences, with a Concentration in Psychology
Knowledge (current events): +9 (+3 Int, +4 ranks, +2 Educated feat)
Knowledge (earth and life sciences): +10 (+3 Int, +4 ranks, +1 competence, +2 Educated feat) Note: to make this character more in line with the real me, I would prefer to add only half of my bonus to earth sciences checks, and use the full bonus only for life sciences checks

Languages:
In reality, I only speak English fluently. However, I have some familiarity with both Russian and French from classes I took in Junior High and High School, and I am proficient with technical and scientific jargon. Instead of giving the character bonus languages, perhaps I can play the character as proficient in technical and scientific jargon, and make level checks to understand things written in French or Russian.

Talents/Special Abilities:
Healing Knack: 1st level (I have kids, and am a trained live animal neuroscientist)

Allegiances: (in order of importance)
My Family. This includes primarily my wife and three kids, but also applies to my extended family.
Rationalism. I believe that reason and objective observation are better than faith both in guiding how we understand this world and in deciding how to treat one another. I have a generalized distrust of people whose faith is the most important thing in their lives. However, I know this is an ugly character trait of mine, and I try to see the best in people regardless of their religious views; I constantly remind myself that some of the people I admire most (for example, my mother) have very deep faith.
America. I love my country and consider myself a patriot in the Jeffersonian tradition. I consider America to be the greatest country on the face of the earth. However, my patriotism does not rise to the level of Jingoism, and I am concerned that many in America today are using the concept patriotism to erode our traditions of personal freedom and liberty. Rather than believing "My country, right or wrong", I have an intense desire to make America an even better place, a place that lives up to its best ideals. I believe America has been, and should continue to be, a beacon of hope in the world.
