In some ways, the Last Men Standing have it easier than other most other forces, since the Dark Side don't generally bother with escape pods, and so the Lasters are usually able to retrieve their own pods without running into opposition ones. They still have to deal with various sorts of unexploded munitions and wrecked ships, many of which qualify as unexploded munitions of even greater destructive capability. And, very rarely, they discover oddities.Six years ago, during the cleanup after the massive battle that the Dark Side waged against the Lasters and the Powerhouse, one such oddity was discovered. Drifting through the void at a fairly high velocity, it was a small ship that matched no known Technate or Dark Side profile. The recovery crew slowed it down and boarded it, finding it to be a wreck, empty but for a single passenger in coldsleep. He, too, didn't resemble any species known to them, but they woke him up just the same after taking precautions.For a wonder, the blue feathered bird-like alien didn't attack his would-be rescuers, but he also didn't speak any known language. A psychic was needed to establish communication, and Feena got the assignment. Through her powers, she learned that he was using the name Bytytl, and was from a world that was only beginning to explore its own solar system. Bytytl had volunteered for a supersoldier project and been one of the only successes, but before he could be given an assignment, something had gone wrong. He'd been launched into space ahead of a disaster that was enveloping his world, and suspected that he might be the only survivor of his species -- hence his name, which means 'the Last of Us.'Wanting -- needing -- to put his talents to use, and to pay back the life debt that he felt he owed, Bytytl (or Bluehawk, to use the nickname he's picked up) volunteered to join the Lasters, and demonstrated considerable military acumen in the months that followed. He ended up assigned to Feena's action team, where he serves as their primary pilot and gunner, in addition to being a very tough hand-to-hand combatant and guerilla warrior. He can also fly in most atmospheres, though it takes a moment to unfurl his wings from their usually folded position.However, Bluehawk's time with Feena's team has led him to the discovery that he is not, in fact, the last of his species. But this is not a good thing, as he has recognized the Vaask spymaster known as Ennessea as someone from their mutual homeworld, and regards him as a mortal enemy. He has refused to discuss what exactly Ennessea did, but the rumor that his adversary is in the area has led to him going off-mission to try and hunt the other down. So far, this hasn't caused any serious harm or mission failures, but it's only going to get worse as time goes by.Bluehawk -- PL 9Abilities:STR 6 | STA 6 | AGL 5 | DEX 4 | FGT 7 | INT 1 | AWE 2 | PRE 1Powers:Keen Eyesight: Senses 3 (extended 2 rapid vision) - 3 pointsShriek: Cone Area Affliction 9 (Resisted by Fortitude; Dazed and Auditory Impaired, Stunned and Auditory Disabled, Incapacitated & Auditory Unaware), Extra Condition, Hearing Dependent - 18 pointsTalons: Strength-based Damage 1 - 1 pointWings: Flight 6 (120 MPH), Wings, Activation (Move Action, -1) - 5 pointsAdvantages:Chokehold, Defensive Roll, Favored Environment (aerial), Equipment 8, Fast Grab, Fearless, Great Endurance, Improved Grab, Improved Hold, Language (Technate Standard, [native is unknown]), Uncanny Dodge.Equipment:Autoblaster (Ranged Multiattack Damage 8, Accurate) and 15 points of equipment as needed.Skills:Acrobatics 4 (+9), Athletics 4 (+10), Close Combat: Talons 3 (+10), Expertise: Galactic 8 (+9), Expertise: Military 8 (+9), Investigation 6 (+7), Perception 6 (+8), Ranged Combat: Blaster 4 (+8), Technology 6 (+7), Stealth 6 (+11), Vehicles 7 (+11).Offense:Initiative +5Unarmed +7 (Close Damage 6)Talons +10 (Close Damage 7)Blaster Rifle +10 (Ranged Damage 8)Shriek -- (Cone Area Fortitude 9)Defense:Dodge 9, Parry 10, Fortitude 8, Toughness 8/6, Will 6Totals:Abilities 64 + Powers 27 + Advantages 17 + Skills 31 + Defenses 13 = 152Complications:Justice--Motivation.
