Background

A man out of time

Vincent Gray grew up in the late 21st century. As a child, he was fascinated by machinery and how it operated. He was the type of kid who would take their toys apart and eventually learn how to put them back together. While in school he always took any kind of class he could that would let him work with his hands. His dream was to own his own auto repair place so he could work on cars all day. One of his science teachers recognized that he had a gift for mathematics, and gently steered him into the direction of engineering. Vincent got a scholarship to M.I.T. and continued his studies, eventually getting a Masters in Systems Engineering. He applied for and got a job working on a new Particle Accelerator that was a joint project between the United States and Canada. He was going over some final tests to the accelerator before it officially came online when something, he still isn’t a 100 percent sure what, caused a tear in the fabric of space-time and sent him tumbling through it. He discovered that he was in a strange land that was both in the future, and in a lot of ways in the past. Vincent is now obsessed with finding a way to go back to his own time so that he can prevent the cataclysm from happening in the first place. He sees this world as only a possibility and will stop at nothing to go back to prevent the tragic events from occurring in the first place.

Powers
Arcane Background: Weird Science (Note, this is strictly technology based and not arcane in any way)
PPE: 15 points per device - Recovery: 2/hour

Vincent's devices are all connected to a seamless black bracelet that locks around his wrist. The bracelet is a powerful computer which manipulates the world on the quantum level. Each of his powers is a chip that can be slotted into the bracelet.

Energy Displacement Field [Teleport] (3+ PPE) [Seasoned]
  • Range: Special
  • Duration: Instant
  • Trapping: None
  • Effect: Teleport allows a character to disappear and instantly reappear up to 10” distant for each 3 Power Points spent, or 15” with a raise. This counts as his movement for the round. Adjacent opponents do not get a free attack against the teleporting character. If the hero wishes to teleport somewhere he can’t see, he must make a Smarts roll at –2. If it is an unknown area he has never seen, the roll is at a –4 penalty. Failure of either roll means the teleporter hit an object of some sort. He returns where he came from and is Shaken. A roll of 1 on the casting die (regardless of the Wild Die) indicates a more serious disaster — in addition to being Shaken he also suffers 2d6 damage. The teleporter can never enter a solid space even if he tries. The power instantly returns him to his starting location as above.
Carrying Others: The hero can carry other beings with him at the cost of a level of Fatigue per additional “rider.” More than two may be carried at once, but causes instant Incapacitation. One Fatigue level is regained for each full hour of rest.

  • Survival (Sm) d4 1
  • K/Arcana (Sm) d6 2
Hindrances
  • Hindrance (Major): Curious Part of Archimedes’s programming is to explore and gather information. It thinks that the more information it has the better, so has a tendency to go beyond what might actually be safe
  • Hindrance (Minor): Vow- Archimedes will serve and protect Vincent at all costs
  • Hindrance (Minor): Stubborn. Archimedes believes itself to be intellectually superior to carbon based life forms, and therefore has trouble thinking they’re correct when they’re opinion is contrary to his own
Edges
  • Edge: (IF) AB Weird Science (Power is Slumber)
  • Edge: (IF) Charismatic. +2 to Charisma
  • Edge: (Cybernetics) Danger Sense

Cybernetics:

Cybernetics

Stealth System- Strain: 2
  • Chameleon skin, heat baffles, radar scramblers, and other devices make the robot difficult to detect by vision or sensors. Those trying to detect or attack the robot subtract 4 from their rolls. The effect is triggered as a free action, but is negated any round in which the robot fires a weapon or emits some other non-cloakable signal such as radio signal or active sensor search.
Expanded Detection and Security Array- Strain: 2
  • This combination of radar, sonar, and motion detectors grants the cyborg 360° awareness of his surroundings. This grants a +2 to Notice checks and the Danger Sense Edge.
Optics Package () - Strain: 1
  • One or both of the cyborg’s eyes are replaced, granting the following: +2 all sight-based Notice checks; thermal imaging and night vision (ignore illumination penalties); 50× magnification for distance; 20× macro lens for up-close detail; glare filters that give a +2 on checks to avoid blinding flashes and related light burst effects. Finally, the Optics Package provides the ability to record still or moving images and store them for later viewing or display. Switching modes is a free action.
Core Electronics Package(Strain 1
  • This set of electronic and data systems grants the following—a mini-computer; a computer interface jack for direct linking to other systems, which grants a +4 to appropriate Repair checks and Common Knowledge rolls; a radio with a 20-mile range.) - Strain: 1

    Electromagnetic Pulse Attack [Slumber] (2) [Seasoned] [Embedded into Archimedes]
    • Range: Smarts x 2
    • Duration: 1 minute
    • Trapping: This only works on Technology
    • Effect: Blasting a hoard of enemies into tiny pieces may be popular with some mages, but those who favor stealth or have a pacifistic bent are drawn to this spell. The caster picks where he wants to center the spell and places a Medium Burst Template. He
      then makes an arcane skill roll. Any living creature (not undead or constructs) within the area must make a Spirit roll, at –2 if the caster scored a raise. Those who fail fall asleep. Loud noises awaken the sleepers as if they were a normal sleeper (Notice roll). When the duration expires, the sleepers naturally wake up.
    Base Stats:
    [list[Sentry Bot Sentries are spherical robots bristling with sensor knobs and armed with two integral laser SMGs.
