[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 6113805, member: 51930"] Here's Doctor Nexus, what I have so far. Based around the Iron Man, but I'm re-working him. I've lowered some numbers, but it's very basic right now. EDIT: fixed it up somewhat, added a rough history. The armor strength is there because, well, he's in power armor. [sblock] Doctor Nexus Identity: Maj. Sir Nethaddeus Cavor, MD, PhD, ESQ, MA, MSc, CRA, MDMA, ABC, CPR, IOU and MRS. Accuracy: 3- Stun Blasters [O,H] Mobility: 3- Cavorite Flight [F, H] Toughness: 3- Artifice Armor [D,H], (?) Morphic Reformation [D] Might: 3- Armored Strength [F,H] Brains: 4- Super Genius [F], 3- invent suit-enhancements [F,H], Senses: 2- Sensor Suite [F,H] Superpower Finesse: 3 Weakness: Morphic Form: if not in his suit, Dr. Nexus transforms into a morphic mass of proto-matter, a stretchy form of himself. This would be handy if he could control it better, and in private he practices, but for now it is a challenge his genius is working around. His suit’s coherence field keeps him together, so long as the power is active in his suit. Strainpoints: 6 Lifepoints: 6 Relations: 3- Man of Science, 2- Lady Livinia, 2- Alien Morphology Description of Talents: Artifice Armor: Doctor Nexus’ suit of power armor is quite resistant to the rugged lifestyle of a man of action and super science. Sensor Suite: Using his armor’s scanners, he can analyse various substances, structures, machines and life-forms. His genius may then postulate what it is he’s discovered. Super Genius: Arguably his greatest weapon: Doctor Nexus is a man of science and vision, such that important persons including the Queen and the President often call upon him to solve various important problems. It allows him to look at a problem, such as rewiring a giant robot, creating a cure for the disease from dimension X, to piecing together a working understanding of an alien language. Roll successes to determine if he can solve a problem using his inimitable genius. Create Suit Enhancements (3- brains): Doctor Nexus can invent things from his suit by re-routing power, polarizing and re-polarizing the probability streams of the flux reducers, and other similarly indescribable processes. This gives Doctor Nexus a chance (rolled) to have enhanced his suit to have a particular ability. The GM sets the difficulty of the challenge to have the desired enhancement. Enhancements act as rank 2 Talents. Cavorite Flight: The rare substance allows Doctor Nexus to defy gravity, currently making a giant suit of armor fly. Stun Blasters: Damage is effective but non-lethal, as he is not merely a man of science... but a man of peace. (ie: he blasts you, you’re not dead when you go down) Morphic Reformation: When unconscious or dead, Doctor Nexus’ body reforms itself; eventually he will regain consciousness, and either make his way to his armor, or find a way to build another coherence field (however slowly).
