Operation Bugification [06 Jun 2010|12:41am]
  


As seen by icon and the two pictures above, I'm taking Sydney in a rather different direction from being another suit-wearer.  This will eliminate some redundancies in the T-Bolts line-up and abilities set, and open up quite a few possibilities plotwise and development-wise.  Including my favorite, the long-term, unresolvable angst ala Ben Grimm.

But yes.  At some point, I'd like for the T-Bolts to be fighting some sort of non-Brood space bug.  Sydney gets bitten, and this begins to introduce the bug dna into her system, transforming her into an insect human hybrid as seen in the left hand picture above.  Which has the good benefit of fixing her legs, but, of course, the bad side of turning her into a human-insect.  Plenty of angst room there.  Along with sometimes worrying insect like behavior, such as a sugar-fixation or a literal verbal *tic* like Bug from the Micronauts.

"Natural" Bug form:

Class 20 super-strength
Increased durability
Increased reflexes and speed.
Natured winged flight (and the possibility of destructive wing-vibrations)
Increased senses.
Communication with insects.
Firable "stinger" darts coated with a sedative bio-toxin.
Acid Spit
Ability to weave cocoon-like adhesive material.
Talons
Ability to cling to walls

and the ability to manifest a more armored carapace (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/Zylly/960064-shikari_10.jpg)

App [27 Apr 2010|07:49pm]

Player (nickname, handle)/ LJ: Dylan
Email: you’ve got it
AIM (if you have one): nextgener49
Character Name: Sydney Davis (Beetle)
Character LJ (if applicable): dont_bug_me
Physical description (face, build, weight): Syd is of about average height, slightly below average build, with green eyes and sandy blond hair
Age: 21
Birthday: October 23
PB: (If using one.)
Abilities: Though not of the level of her uncle, Sydney is a mechanical prodigy with a degree in electrical engineering.  The Beetle armor mk. IV, designed by her uncle and further modified by her, grants limited protection, Spider-Man level super-strength, flight, sensors, and various weapons systems including electro-blasters and stinger darts. It is effectively like wearing a fighter plane in terms of speed and mobility.
Weaknesses and flaws: Sydney requires either the suit or her exoskeleton in order to walk. She’s impulsive and easily lead into danger.
Character location/Home: NYC, pending a move to wherever the T-Bolts will be.
Alignment (villain, hero etc): Hero
Relatives (living/dead?): Abner Jenkins (uncle), Aine Gold (cousin)

Backstory:  Abner Jenkins' niece, Sydney was born with twisted legs, unable to walk, even after multiple surgeries. Her uncle built her a robotic exoskeleton that allowed her some mobility, but that she could only use in private. Learning his secret and what he'd previously done with his robotics, she eventually convinced him to make her a suit of Beetle armor so she could actually get out and about, and lead an exciting life. She became super villainess for the thrills, and, truth be told, really took Hadelinde's offer so she could get rich and get into all sorts of excitement – but also to keep an eye on the group and try to keep anyone from getting hurt too badly. She would not have called herself a good guy, but she was also not out to kill or maim anyone, especially kids, and will do her best to save lives, especially of children.

However,  she never actually had the opportunity for any villainy and never actually committed any crimes others than participating in the fights with the Avengers.  And, more importantly, Hadelinde and the others quickly made her realize that it wasn’t something she wanted to be.  An adrenaline junkie?  Absolutely, but definitely not a criminal.  Now, she has begun looking for other ways to get her thrills, including upgrading the Beetle armor yet again, this time forgoing any attempts at male disguise.


How do you plan to introduce the character to the game?: Technically already introduced, will be getting involved with Thunderbolts stuff
What are you planning to do with this character?: Play off the adrenaline junkie angle, look at someone on the road to redemption (even if they’ve not done anything that bad)
What do you want to see happen with this character?: Thunderbolts stuff, slowly start becoming a hero

Sample post:

Power levels good, wing motors operating at one hundred percent, air conditions good...  Go!

The Beetle rocketed through the sky, a faint buzzing sound accompanying the speed.  She darted this way and that, pushing the suit to its limits, ignoring the warning lights that came on as she did so.  Sydney pushed the suit more, higher and higher and faster and...

<font face="comic sans ms">WARNING!  SYSTEM FAILURE IMMINENT!  ABORT!</font face>

The warning came to late, as the wing motors cut out, sending her plummeting toward the ground like a stone.  She was all but certain she was about to go splat when the system reset, letting her pull out of the dive at the last moment.

"WAAAAHOOOOOOO!"
