@HellionYeah, I like your original character too :) I think we got enough tech people as it is with two cyborgs and a woman with robot vocal chords xD

Solveig Irontouch

Name: Solveig Irontouch

Species: Dwarf

Faction: Pirates

Synopsis of Character: Solveig is a skilled engineer who's been around ships all his life, and general employment is as a Shipwright. Magically unskilled, Solveig relies on his dwarven ingenuity in mechanics and a keen sense of a bloody good bar fight.

Synopsis of Role: Armed with his handcrafted Tesla Gauntlet, he can use one of four modes to his advantage. One is the solder, mostly used for fusing metal together and making repairs. Second is the Arc mode, a chain lightning shot that can electrocute up to three targets in close proximity. Thirdly, there's the rail mode, capable of punching a centimetre wide hole up to 40 feet away. The railgun mode has a very long cooldown. Finally there is his taser, which can output a higher voltage to stun anyone that's bothering him.

Solveig also owns a pair of mechanical drones which he controls. His own creation that are repaired and replaced by him often. Armed with solders, they can whizz around a ship to reach the small nooks or higher spots that Solveig cannot, or apply a nasty burn to someone if they're not swatted down.

Background

Appearance


Backstory
Jason was originally Special Forces, in a secret unit that specialised in stealth and assassinations. Efficient in his field, Jason was a part of multiple different operations and lead the unit during the latter half of his military career. Jason was known for his quick decision making and skill in Close Quarters Combat. When all else failed, Jason could always rely on his fists. During his last mission, they were tasked with infiltrating a terrorist compound and killing the Cell's leader. The mission was complete, however something went wrong. The alarm system tripped and his squad were forced to make a quick and messy exit. With the odds of success dwindling with every second, the last door was grinding to a close. Covering them so they could escape, the soldier quickly began to crawl under. His legs were crushed under the industrial door and he was dragged away, blood leaving a seeping trail into the sand.

Amputation was the only option, and Jason was left stranded in a wheelchair. With no life to return to back home, Jason was discharged and left in an empty house back in the States. For a whole year, Jason cursed the day and was left to wallow in his own self pity. He felt so useless. He didn't know anything else, he got out as school as soon as possible. That was until he got a letter that would change his life. Literally. With the header reading as Daedalus Corp, Jason carefully read each sentence to see what exactly this mystery business was offering. New legs? Free of charge? Sure, experimental was highlighted in bold but compared to paying out all that money for the most basics of prosthesis. Jason wrote a reply and like that, he was picked up within the week and heading to the operating table.

However, Jason certainly got more than he bargained for, and he was given a whole new body, which he was completely unaware of. His brain was dissected and certain parts were swapped for bio-mechanical replacements. When he woke up, he wasn't Jason Ryker anymore. He was now Ronin. Ronin was the first of his kind, an experimental combat cyborg, trained to use his new weapon and body, Jason was an even better killer with none of the moral hang-ups. If he was ordered to assassinate anyone or massacre a group then he would've done it without hesitation. His memory was completely wiped and he was completely subservient. However, as his new mind learns and interacts with other inmates, an old voice rings in the back of his head every now and then.

"Escape."

Personality
While his decision making, lack of hesitation to kill and his robot body makes him seem cold, he actually does interact fairly well with people. He is understanding and protective of those who he thinks are weaker than him and need protecting, until his module is activated that is. Unless you threaten him or hurt someone he is loyal to, he is generally amicable. While he can make a sarcastic remark or a good-natured jest, his comedic talent doesn't really extend much beyond that. Usually a smile or a slight chuckle if someone is trying to make him laugh.

Procedure
Ronin is now armed with a titanium-alloy body fuelled by energy cells that can deplete, which usually takes a long time unless he's had to push beyond the limit. He is one of the first combat ready cyborgs.

Modifications
His new body has a high resilience, increased speed and agility. The plantar of his foot has been covered in a noise-suppressing material. His brain has been cut apart and modified too. He has a control module, a neuron accelerator to increase reaction speed, and a connection from his retinas to his brain to give him a combat UI which can scan for vitals, structural weaknesses and a limited radar. His body can shut down from an EMP or electronic surge which leaves him incapable to move while his body reboots.

His sword, the Vulcan Sword, is covered in a powerful alternating current and vibrates at extremely high frequencies when unsheathed. This increases it's cutting ability drastically.

Talents
As a soldier, Jason is skilled in gunplay, especially in pistols and submachine guns. He also learnt many forms of hand to hand combat, specifically MMA and Boxing.

Looking Deeper

What do you value most? What (or who) are you most afraid to lose?
"Humanity. Whatever the hell I've got left anyways. I can't remember how much of my body the doctors say is machine, but it's not all of it. That's gotta be something, right?"

What was your favorite thing to do, before you were taken?
"I... I don't know... I can't remember."

What do you want?
"To get this damn control module out of my head. I'm not a weapon... I don't want to be a weapon."

I have a couple of ideas that I wanted to run by you peeps. Either a grumpy Dwarven Engineer/Mechanic with few but simple life values of some description or an experiment gone wrong muscle guy for lifting/wrecking stuff with his bare hands who might be a little dangerous if he isn't kept on a metaphorical or even physical leash?

EDIT: If it's easier, feel free to tell me in Discord :D

Santa Celia: Coast to Coast

@JunkMailMy plan was that Jason was going to be the first antagonistic/villainous character of the roster and it would be a plot twist later on that he would develop some sort of power, creating an identity crisis.

Edit: Of course, if you think it would be a pain to have a normal or a villain in the mix, I have another idea for a hero super if that would be preferred :)
