[u][b]Real Name[/b][/u]: Kevin Norton

[u][b]Power[/b][/u]: A loose cannon if there ever was one, Gubbins in a bomb tinker capable of turning a tin can into ordinance powerful enough to level a building. Tinker powers are hugely varied in strength and scope, and Gubbins is truly a master of his craft. As a running theme in the group, though, he is a bit unstable. From creating a time-delay molotov cocktail from a 6-pack of beer bottles, to a quasi-nuclear plasma device capable of nearly killing one half of The Sisters - from the hubcaps of her employer's car, apparently - the PR storm he creates in second to none. If it wasn't for his effetivness in the field, or the fact that Backdoor's aid relies on him, Kingmaker has made it clear he would be gone a hundred times over.

[u][b]PRT Rating[/b][/u]: A physically strong power, with enough time to prepare, the PRT have given him a Tinker 5 rating.

[u][b]Backstory[/b][/u]: Kevin once believed he was the most powerful man in the world. Naturally, the world disagreed, and threw him in an asylum to rot. Staying in there for years, he developed a close relationship with Ciaran, becoming like a second, more reliable father. Eventually, the staff finally got through to him. Kevin realised not only was he not the most powerful man in the world, he didn't even have powers. That single fact, that his entire life had been nothing more than a sham, drove him straight over the edge on his release. He promptly triggered, laughing hysterically at the irony. 

A week later, there was a small incident with a public toilet block which exploded. Gubbins has tried to boost the signal on his phone using his tinker powers, and managed to create a time bomb instead. If he hadn't lost the thing just before it exploded, then things would be very different. He set up shop in an old abandoned warehouse, and set so many traps, Sickle only managed to navigate the gauntlet with Backdoor's help. Using Backdoor as leverage, Gubbins joined the team and has made Kingmaker's blood pressure rise dramatically ever since.

[u][b]Personality[/b][/u]: Gubbins is laid-back and easy-going. He doesn't wear a mask, and has never changed outside of his hobo get-up since getting back out the madhouse. Insane, chaotic, but completely trustworthy. When it comes to raising hell, Gubbins is the one to call. He takes great pleasure in upsetting the big-wigs of the city, be it Kingmaker, Maxwell or Praetor. Any bombs he sets must be fantastical and eye-catching, anything less, he views as a failure.

[u][b]Stunts[/b][/u]:[indent]
[b]“I made this one in Guantanamo Bay…”[/b] Once per session, Gubbins can pull any bomb his power can allow him to make seemingly out of thin air. He must give a few lines of where he made the bomb, how he made it, why, and what he called it. The story must be relevant to the current situation, completely awesome, and a pack of lies.

[b]“I take pride in my work.”[/b] Clever engineering can compensate for a lack of combat skill. Pick a broad category of weapon (e.g. swords, polearms, crossbows). When you wield a weapon of this sort that you have created yourself, you may attack with Crafts instead of Fight (for melee weapons) or Shoot (for ranged weapons). Such weapons will often include odd devices and unusual features that make their use very different from that of a normal weapon.

[b]“They love me, really.”[/b] You have an amazing ability to remain unharmed when caught within the blast radius of an explosion. +2 to defend with Athletics against area attacks.
