Superheroes

[SirNitram]

Sculptor's intro post deleted because apparently someone moved Lei.

[Cynical Cat]

Giving the heroes who didn't get to subdue Saibot their face time, as is right and proper.

[frigidmagi]

Let us this night be thankful for the mental damage we are about to receieve... And the firely world of hurt we are about to give.

[LadyTevar]

Ew Ew Ew Ew Ew!

I'm sure this isn't Sculptor, just his bigger, meaner brother, right?

[Dark Silver]

your right, it's not Sculptor, it's Upholster.

[SirNitram]

Now, who thinks they're gonna keep their lunch when two Fleshcrafters go at it?

[Cynical Cat]

*Raises hand*

Of course, I'm the guy who used Vicissitude to craft the Blood Eagle on people in two Vampire campaigns.

[Hotfoot]

So, what happened with the grenade?

[Agent Fisher]

Well, I figured B4 would post what happened, or maybe Nit might like to mention it. I'm hoping that the grenade slices the freak apart with shrapnel, but I'm not holding my breath. Thus the readying of another grenade.

[Dark Silver]

I've lived through Level Six

Two fleshcrafting/bonecrafting Freaks is nothing.

Name: Dr. Jeffery Stone
Handle: W.A.R.path

Age: 35
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 215 lbs
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Green
Skin Color: Dark Tan
Race: Caucasian

Identifying Markings: None

Powers:
-Cyberpathy-
Able to psychically interface with electronic/computerized systems from a distance of 2500 meters (maximum of four (4) systems can be linked to at one time). He can also tap into systems linked to the one he is accessing - allowing him near complete control. If there is a AI present, he will have to wrest control from the AI before he can control the system.

-Enhanced Intelligence and Photographic memory-
(self explanatory)

-Technopathy-
able to intuitively construct any device imaginable given time and resources, and able to intuitively understand how any mechanical system works within moments of first touching observing it.

Equipment:
Integrated Reactive Omni-situational Nuclear (I.R.O.N.) Power Armour Mk. IX -Wide Actionable Response (W.A.R)

--- o --- o ---

A suit of power armor of his own design, the I.R.O.N. Power Armour is one of the most compact suits of it's type - as well as one of the most heavily armed. The armor's primary outer layer is made of a composite Steel-titanium mesh bonded on the molecular level over varying layers of titanium weave. This allows the armor a nigh impenetrable shell able to protect it's wearer from all but the most powerful blows. The suit is sealed against all Nuclear/Biological/Chemical attacks, with a built-in life support system capable of recycling the wearers spent CO2 into breathable oxygen. The armor is airtight, capable of limited underwater (performance drop-offs begin at a depth of 2500')and a orbital operations (forty-eight hours between food and auto-cauterization), EMP hardened against a pulse of up to 30 gigawatt and withstand a concentrated energy bombardment of up to 5.5 megawatts per second. The armor is powered primarily by a polarized Artificial Quantum Singularity contained within a regenerative containment field - a experimental power source salvaged from alien technology obtained and repaired during his tenure with Project: Guardian. Reserve and emergency power is provided by miniaturized solar collectors and a cryo-storage battery within the suit's chestpeice. External power sources, and even enemy energy attacks, can be utilized by special energy sinks built into the suit which feed into emergency storage capacitors for emergency use.

The armor is controlled primarily through a Cyberpathic link with it's pilot (in most cases, Dr Jeffery Stone), which allows near instantaneous translaction of thought to action. For non-cyberpath pilots, the armor uses advance neural receptors to pick up the pilots thoughts, as well as a cybernetic computer control system - though this "manual" interface is slightly slower than direct cyberpathic connection.

The I.R.O.N. Power Armor is one of the most advanced pieces of war technology on the face of the planet, upstaging even the U.S. Military Multiple Amplification Response (M.A.R.) Power Armors by at least a generation - including some of the most advanced offensive and defensive weapon systems mounted on a suit of personal power armor.

While still being one of the most advanced suits of power armor on the planet, it is little more than a miniaturized wearable jet fighter in scope, being much more massive in height and weight than a normal human being. The suit itself is inherently flexible to a point, arms and legs could be moved, and the head shifted to look around - but without a power supply, the suit is rendered immobile, it's servo-motors locked.

Vital Statistics:
Height: 7'6"
Weight: 500lbs (empty)

Power Supply:
Primary - polarized artificial quantum singularity in self-regenerative containment field
Secondary - Hydra Type IV Solar collector and amplification system
Emergency - cryo-storage battery backup good for five hours emergency usage (limited system availability while on emergency backups).

Construction:
Molecularly bonded Titanium-Steel mesh with ceramic insulator coating for primary outer armor layer.
-multilayer construction allows for multiple layers of protection, as well as a sealed environment against all NBC environment/attacks.

Control Systems:
Cyberpathic neural linkage allowing for near instantaneous transmission of thought to action
Secondary Cybernetic control linkage - slightly slower than primary control system.

Life Support:
Capable of sustained activities of 48 hours before requiring recharge in a otherwise inhabitable zone.
Ten minutes of standard O2 in cockpit after Life Support systems fail.

Primary Armaments:
(System Specifications to follow)
2 Type XII kinetic Amplification 'Pulse Bolt' Emmiters
2 kinetic Impact Coil guns
3 Mark II Acoustic Generators
1 Type III Low intensity forcefield (offensive or defensive)
5 Mark XXI guided miniature explosive ordnances (micro missles)

Capabilities
Flight (up to 400mph) with use of boot and back mounted nuclear turbines.
Self Contained Operating Environment (Air tight and waterproof, with a contained pressure equal to one (1) atmosphere.)
Full sensor suite for radiological, biological or chemical analysis, low/high intensity light situations, thermo-spectrograph, radar, sonar, and electronic warfare, x-ray, etc.
Hardened systems for up to 30gigawatt EMP pulses.
Advanced neuromuscular enhancing servomotors granting the wearer superhuman strength, able to lift up to 50 tons.
Optical HARDROM storage device for restoring of basic systems functionality in case of EMP overload of systems.


Color Scheme
Grey primary, red chest and shoulder pieces, gold faceplate and blue optical sensors


Armor Systems Specifications
--Offensive:
** Pulse Bolts: A cascading energy matrix which gathers kinetic energy as it travels, allowing the beam to cause more damage the further it had to travel, till it reached a critical distance point. At this point (approximately 14,300 meters) the beam would begin to experience diminishing returns at a exponential rate when the beam would simply disperse into the atmosphere. This weapon is fired from the wrist mounted modular energy emmiters on both arms.

** Coil Guns: two deployable weapons mounted on autoleved pinions on the back of the suit, these electronic ignition coil guns are capable of launching a depleted uranium slug at variable speeds (subsonic to mach 3) depending on situation. Standard rate of fire is 200 rounds per minute, capable of firing on a limited 90° Arc. State of the art recoil compensation gyros allow for the high rate of fire. Standard loudout of 2000rounds per cannon, stored in a special container in the weapons themselves.

** Acoustic Generators: specially designed Acoustic Wave Generators mounted in the suits chestpeice. The Acoustic Generators provide the following abilities:

- Sound Masking: by replying sounds slightly out of phase with the original wave, the Acoustic Wave Generators can disrupt any sound within a thousand meter range. Sound Masking can selectively

- Ultra Low Vibration Pulses - by making use of ultra low frequency vibrations, aimed and emited through conductive Acoustium (A superior sound conductive metal alloy) lined apertures in the palm of the hands. These vibration waves can cause massive damage, shattering even steel at the right frequency.

- Sound Amplification - Selective sound amplification is possible, allowing

** Low intensity Forcefield: a low level forcefield which aids the Power Armor in absorbing or deflecting impacts from kinetic or energy weaponry. A secondary emitter on the right arm also allows condensing of the forcefield matrix into a energy axe, capable of cutting through hardened steel with the armor's strength enhancing abilities.



History:
Born in Chicago's West End, Jeffery Stone had a average till puberty. When he reached puberty, his genetic mutation began to manifest - he was working with the family computer, when he suddenly could sense the electrical energy flowing through the integrated circuitry, and read the information flowing inside the machine.

Never before very interested in mechanical engineering or electronics beyond what a pre-teen normally was, young Jeffery began to excel in the mechanical sciences, finding himself able to absorb knowledge and store it in his new, magnificent brain. He completed High School by age 16, and went onto study Engineering at MIT.

he graduated MIT Magna Cum Laudi with a Masters in Electrical and PhD in Mechcanical Engineering. He was approached by the US State department then the Department Of Defense to work as a civilian contractor. While working for the government he helped design and develop the first suits of personal military power armor, and their weapon systems in the late 1990's as well as being one of the technopaths connected to Project: Guardian on the West Coast of the U.S.

After the Black Arion assaults on 9/11/2001, Dr Stone decided he couldn't stand by when others risked their lives to combat Supervillans. Despite his lack of any combat superpowers, he put his technopathic mutant abilities to use, and constructed the first of his suits of advanced power armors. The money he had from his work with the government, as well as living a frugal life style, allowed him to purchase the parts he needed, and build his first suit.

While not advanced, or carrying a great deal of weaponry, the first generation of his I.R.O.N. power armor performed well in trials, then on the first mission - to take care of a bank robbery.

After building the third iteration of his power armor, Stone decided he had enough of contract work, and started a small electronics firm near Millenium city. While keeping a low key, he manages a small work force of 50 engineers and 150 miscellaneous employees in his offices. After the fifth iteration of his suit, and helping to stop a terrorist plot, under his Warpath identity, Stone remitted himself to Ultima for proper military training - to better work towards his goal of protecting the innocent.

Stone remains a low key player in the Superhero world, spending a great deal of time in his personal lab, designing new armor systems and occasionally, with Ultima on key projects.


I.R.O.N. Wide Actionable Response (W.A.R.path) Armor in diagnostic frame



W.A.R.path Armor without Coil Gun pack

[Cynical Cat]

The power source should be something unobtanium, like an alien device or something from a far future reality to avoid the whole "why aren't there a shitload of these" question. It's a really powerful set of hardware.

EDIT: And you gave you power plants maximum energy output before refueling in watts (and the number is too small. That monstrosity would go through 500 megajoules worth of energy in no time) Bad DS.

[Dark Silver]

there, fixed, unobtanium, unable to be replicated power supply, removed the power power ratings also..



oh, also removed one of the sets of weapons....and added a picture of the armor outside of the diagnostic/repair frame, and without the coil guns.

[LadyTevar]

Geee... why do I think that's our 'BackUp' from Ultima?

[LadyTevar]

Cyncat, I know you love to hate Argent... but exactly WHEN did Ghost say that Argent was there with him? Because she's not there yet. I was waiting for Hotfoot or Blast to get to him first, in fact.

Just for your little typo, I should have her show up to you, so you can curse her out in person.

NM... You've flown off. I'll run with what I have

[Cynical Cat]

Cyncat, I know you love to hate Argent... but exactly WHEN did Ghost say that Argent was there with him? Because she's not there yet. I was waiting for Hotfoot or Blast to get to him first, in fact.

Ghost tossed her name around. Blackheart interpreted that to mean she was there.

[Hotfoot]

"And last I checked, Argent was being patched up"

Phase gate down

[Cynical Cat]

"And last I checked, Argent was being patched up"

Phase gate down

Which I interpreted to mean that the last he knew she was being patched up and now she's here. He posted AFTER she posted teleporting to his location. You know, that cool kind of travel where you show up even faster than speedsters?

Yeah, but that takes turning Dragon... which I did NOT post doing

Silly Cyncat *huggles* Argent will just tease Blackheart about it later.

[LadyTevar]

TeamhairTahal: posted
agentfisherSDnet: lol
agentfisherSDnet: I give you the jacket and you turn it into something hot. I'm sure hotfoot will like the view of a half naked Grace Park taking a deep breath.
IRWriter86: Dear God the man just threw up and now you're going around breathing deeply with huge tits? The man's going to faint from lack of blood to his brain!
NitramTahalshia: Well, technically, those aren't huge tits. Give Sculptor a good photo of some Page 3 Girls and half an hour, and we can have an asian with huge tits.

[B4UTRUST]

Since I've been asked the question and as GM I really hate not knowing answers about my own game. Though it happens enough that I often wonder if there's some secret plot to overthrow me...

At any rate, why is Saibot being drug off by Freaks? And Gravitas? The Freaks are busy taking their own out, I'm not seeing them worrying about the carcass of their would-be destroyer. By that I mean Saibot, not Gravitas.

So if someone could give me answers to these important questions I would appreciate it...

In the meantime I'm going to go lay down and hallucinate about spiders on my pillows again.

[Hotfoot]

Don't look at me. I only gave them Gravyass and Argent, and both I gave to Troll.

[Charon]

*whistles innocently as he passes by.* Nope, had nothing to do with that.

...

Ok fine. I dropped off Saibot just behind Gravitas, and besides, who among the freaks would know Saibot was gonna try to kill all of them?

[Dark Silver]

Because the only one who saw him is dead, and none of them knew what Saibot looked like in order to identify him as their would be destroyer.

Plus Legacies dropped him off right by Gravitas, unconcious.

[B4UTRUST]

Ah. Logical and to the point. Thank you.

There's your answer Cynical....
