Ammonite worked as a member of the [[San Diego]] [[Protectorate]] for a few years, making a decent name for himself and becoming relatively well known, his goofy personality and easy going nature meant that it was far easier for people to look past the fact that he was a C53 in favor of his heroic exploits. A transfer to [[Ashton]], and subsequent difficulty has put a bit of a damper on his previously lighthearted mood, though he's still optimistic, and has been regaining his good cheer since coming to Devilfish.

Being a C53, Ammonite can’t exactly keep a secret identity, and as such doesn’t have one, though he does his best to keep people from linking his actual body to his suits of power armor. Ammonite is almost completely composed of tentacles of varying sizes, weighing a total of about 60lbs, and possessing a number of small “cores" throughout his body which perform various organ functions.

Ammonite is extremely dedicated to his tinkering, setting aside large amounts of time to do so, and seeking to constantly improve the modifications he makes, as well as the efficiency of his lab. He does, however, understand the value of taking breaks and relaxing, and so has made a concerted effort to keep his tinkering from interfering too much with his interactions and ability to socialize. When outside of his lab, he is fond of harmless, though embarrassing, pranks, quick jokes or puns, and outings with friends, making it a point to keep things lively with humor, especially if the conversation becomes too dark.

Character Sheet

Appearance

Being a C53, Ammonite can’t exactly keep a secret identity, and as such doesn’t have one, though he does his best to keep people from linking his actual body to his suits of power armor. Ammonite is almost completely composed of tentacles of varying sizes, weighing a total of about 60lbs, and possessing a number of small “cores" throughout his body which perform various organ functions.

Equipment and Resources

Wealth level: 6

  • He is paid the standard protectorate salary, as well as being given a substantial budget for his tinkering. He basically lives in the protectorate base/his lab, and while he has a few personal trinkets and mementos, as well as a few books and other entertainment, his quarters are a bit sparse in terms of decoration.
  • Various entertainment and mementos
  • His tinkertech lab equipment
  • Nautilus Power Armor

Tinkertech

Tinkertech From Others

Tinkertech For Others

Skills and Specializations

  • Quick wit / Sense of Humor
  • Fighting style which heavily relies on armor, and changes as he makes modifications.
  • Power provides an understanding of technology, though it is not always applicable to simpler mechanical systems, as it is focused on electricity and his own tinkertech.
  • Moving quickly, especially through tight spaces (outside of his armor) (running away)
  • Swimming (out of armor)

Mentality

Ammonite is extremely dedicated to his tinkering, setting aside large amounts of time to do so, and seeking to constantly improve the modifications he makes, as well as the efficiency of his lab. He does, however, understand the value of taking breaks and relaxing, and so has made a concerted effort to keep his tinkering from interfering too much with his interactions and ability to socialize. When outside of his lab, he is fond of harmless, though embarrassing, pranks, quick jokes or puns, and outings with friends, making it a point to keep things lively with humor, especially if the conversation becomes too dark.
