[b]Physical Appearance:[/b] Rush has an interesting appearance. Like he doesn't look too out of place in one of those sci-fi movies as an Engineer. Maybe it's his goggles. Maybe it's the nerd vibe. Who knows. Anywho, Rush has a nerd-vibe, like he looks like one of those NERDS who sit in front of their computer all day. Which he kinda does. He has a weak looking build, like he doesn't do too much muscle work - More of finger-work. He's slightly overweight, but isn't too noticeable. He's more thin than anything. Rush stands below average (at 5'5) and weighs 136 pounds. Not too shabby. His limbs (Arms and legs) are longer than average, and so are his fingers, he has a bit of a reach. Rush is Caucasian, he has several different cultures in his blood. American, British, Irish, and Czech, to be exact. Rush's skin is a pale white color, and is far from perfect. He has plenty of scars from incidents gone wrong. The most notable out of these scars is the burn scar on his shoulder. This is an electrical burn scar, and takes up his entire shoulder in a mass of nasty, fleshy, growths. Like a bolt of lightning came down and electrocuted him. Fortunately, he keeps this scar covered up with his attire. For once, one of my characters won't have facial scars. His skin, mostly his face, is plastered with light-brown freckles. His nose, and cheeks are littered with them. 

Rush in terms of looks, isn't all that special. He isn't especially good looking, nor is he painful to look at. Rush is in between, you could say. He has a wide face/head. His head is oval shaped. Rush has very big and round cheeks, that are easily the more pronounced part of his head. Rush has average sized lips, that are pink, and poke out a little bit. His nose is very small, and triangle-shaped, the biggest part of his nose is the tip, which pokes forward a little bit. He has rounded ears are that very small. His eyes are small and blue colored, some could say that he has beautiful eyes. His chin is rounded, and his jawline is rather dull/round. Rush is a ginger. Which means in addition to having no soul, his hair is an orange color. It's straight. He keeps it well-groomed, and looking really good. Rush keeps his hair in a very spiky hairstyle. 

[b]Attire:[/b] Rush in terms of attire, has a Scifi/Steampunk vibe. He doesn't wear anything like lab coats or anything, despite his scientist motif. When out on the town; he mostly wears a large black leather trench coat, that stretches down to his ankles. This trench coat is a little tattered here and there, and most damage has been sown up/repaired by Rush. The main purpose of the trench coat is the several pockets all over it - Mostly inside of it. Rush keeps his various inventions in these pockets. Sometimes he'll be seen wearing other outfits, and in that case, he'll throw on anything as long as it fits. He sometimes will be seen wearing clothes that don't match at all. Rush doesn't care. One thing he absolutely won't be seen without is his massive tinted welder's goggles ([url=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v509/taztool/NEW%202011-2/100_2405-1.jpg]They look like this, except black and tinted[/url]). They're usually on his forehead, sometimes he'll slide them down over his eyes.


[b][u]Personality[/u][/b]


[b]Outward & Innate Personality:[/b] People get sort of an nerd-vibe from Rush at first. They soon get mixed signals from him. He speaks quickly and concisely, in a cold tone that sounds logical. He is very intelligent and polite too. However, he's really eccentric and playful than anything. He tends to make silly jokes and playing around. Making witty, clever, and sarcastic remarks. Just like a social butterfly. All while sounding cold and logical. Sometimes he does come off as childish. This is when he's around other people, though. Alone, or at work, he's cold and serious as they come. Most people don't see this side of him unless they're spying on him. He knows when to get serious, and when the time is right, he'll go from a sarcastic joker, to the cold scientist he is at heart. Rush is a peaceful person, and will always use his head to talk his way out of problems. When he can't, he'll either cut and run, or fight. Rush will rarely fight without a good reason. There is one thing he likes talking about, and that is technology. If you pull out a cell-phone, could even be one of those block cell phones from the eighties, you can bet your @ss he'll ask about it. Technology from the present mostly bores him, though. He likes old technology, like stuff pre-digital age. Rush has a code of honor. He will always stick to his word, and will not break any promises. He will never use his powers for evil, and will use them to get himself ahead, lawfully. Rush has a habit of rushing through things sometimes, hence, why he has that nickname. When under certain conditions, he'll talk too fast, not think things through, and may gloss over facts, or cut time. This is even worse when stressed - Speaking of which, Rush can easily get stressed. Which may cause him to mess things up. In terms of sexuality, Rush is asexual. Meaning he doesn't seek out romance. It's just not in his wiring.


[b]Hobbies/Interests:[/b] Rush's favorite thing in the hole wide world is explore technology, and invent some new technology himself. It gives him purpose and new things to explore. He's freakishly good with electronics, and can spot a tiny defect in a phone. Hell, he even has his own business set up where he helps people with their technology based problems. Other than that, Rush is an artist, he knows how to draw a bit well. He'll rarely be seen drawing however. He puts much attention on playing with his inventions. Rush also likes to get into different social situations and get information on people out of it. Seeing how some people react to some things.

[b]Skills/Talents:[/b] Inhumanly good with technology, observant, good at gardening, possesses good hand-eye coordination, and can haul ass when the time comes.

[b]Prized Possession:[/b] Rush's first invention; a modified transformers toy. Kept in his dorm-rooms.

[b]Quote:[/b] [i]"Relying on technology. Leads to scientific prison."[/i]


[u][b]Relationships[/b][/u]

[b]Family:[/b] Rush's family, the Chertok line, is limited to himself and his mother. Rush's father disappeared some time after he was born, and never showed himself since.

[b]Friends:[/b] Ray Drager, Rush's best friend that he grew up with. He and Rush were partners for awhile before Rush was sent to the Academy. He still keeps tabs on him from time to time. Now, Rush doesn't really have friends - More of clients. It's been quite lonely doing it alone.

[b]Enemies:[/b] A few people. Rush has screwed over and pissed off quite a few people. To the point where they'd attack him on sight.

[b]Lovers:[/b] None. Rush is strictly asexual. 

[b]Marital Status:[/b] Single


[b][u]Abilities[/u][/b]


[b]Power Class:[/b] Cerebral

[b]Power:[/b] [i]Techno-Mind.[/i] Rush has developed an instinctive affinity toward all mechanical and electronic systems. The flow of energy within these devices, as well as the layout of their components, resonate with him on a level beyond cognitive senses. He is capable of instantly discerning the intended function of a given device, as well as diagnosing any potential damage or malfunctions within them, and how to repair them. Rush is especially gifted in this, considering his ability to use her psychic link with technology to determine the potential to repurpose any given device, allowing the use of its components for another goal. Rush is known to develop technological tools to protect himself and allies, as well as to disable enemies. He can pretty much make anything within reason, as long as he has the resources to create it. Rush can also control electronics to a far extent. He can freely alter digital systems of any active electronic in his vicinity. Changing functions/system and retrieving information out of them. Such as hacking an iPhone with his mind, or changing the streetlight from green to red. He can do that and more. Hell, Rush can even code complex programs. Such as making a super good hacking program. On top of all this, Rush's mental processing power is far above average and is capable of multitasking on a macro-level.


[b]Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks:[/b] In general Rush has two main mental/personality weaknesses. For starters, Rush is far from a fighter. He prefers to spend his time on computers and working on his inventions, rather than in a gym and fighting. He will fight if pushed, but fights are far from his forte. Which is why he relies on others to do the fighting for him. Second, Rush tends to... Well, rush through things. Especially when stressed or emotional. Which can lead to him to messing up things, or missing small facts. You know, that's bad.

For the Technomind, it's Rush's over reliance on technology. Without the proper equipment or resources, the Technomind is useless. Especially in places like the woods or... Then again I don't think he'll be going anywhere near there. Now, while Rush is very capable of building some super amazing things, the problem he has is getting the stuff to make it. He's going to need some high end resources to make the really cool stuff. Rush probably will never get access to them to begin with. Rush's most dangerous weakness is a EMP. If exposed to one, Rush's power will shut down, and Rush will temporarily be sent into a coma for a few hours.
