Character Sheet

Appearance

John is a Caucasian male with short brown hair and brown eyes, making him physically very generic. He tends to wear cheap and or messed up and torn clothing. Mostly muscle shirts, jeans and a ratty looking hoodie.

While as Powerline he mostly wears low quality looking tech, for now, that looks slapped together from cleaned scrap and a welded together crude metal mask.

Equipment and Resources

  • Cheap Burner Phone
  • Pocket Tool Kit
  • Tinkertech

Tinkertech

Skills and Specializations

-Basic Metalworking and electronics skill gained from hard work making his first couple of tech pieces as well as some study in the library. -Some basic street smarts from living on the streets for nearly a year.

Mentality

John is not in a good place mentally. He does not think he is worth the effort for others and, upon gaining powers, thinks about joining the protectorate. But thinks that they would not take him anyway due to how useless he is. As such he needs ALL The self help. Beyond that he is quite willing to help others. Usually with helping with fixing stuff for the homeless that he tends to hang around with at first and those more low income.

Power

Trigger Type: Single Standard Tinker Trigger (Magi X Focal)

Specializing in the construction of exo-suits that assist in mobility and provides minor physical improvements. It's main purpose, however is to provide a frame to run a wide variety of secondary modules and gadgets, mostly focused on mobility and utility.

Some gadgets that they could make and mount on the frame include grappling hooks, gliders, in-built climbing equipment, long-fall boots, smoke bombs or flares, uv goggles, thermal shielding equipment, noise dampeners, projectile launchers, Tasers, smoke bombs, stationary camo, and various other small devices.

Sub-specialty in durable but lightweight materials (Alloys, ceramics, fabrics)

Possessing a low brute/striker rating, Every cell in their body generates tiny static charge, which when combined is enough constant electrical energy, that it can be harnessed to help power their worn tinker-tech.

The stress this causes the body is offset by small positive physiological changes slightly denser bones, tougher muscle fiber, protective layers of fat on their organs, a far better than average immune system, and a somewhat increased ability to clot bleeding wounds.

Backstory

John Warnes had an average life up until he graduated high school where he had trouble finding work. After his fathers passing there was only him, His mother, And a little brother left so he kept looking. It was not until he glanced in and found his mother looking over bills that he found what little bravery in his life to sell the stuff he had on the sly and leave a letter filled with the money next to his mothers bed and walk out that front door with nothing but the bag on his back with a couple of dollars and some bottles of water and rations. After leaving the city he walked as far as he could from his home city. Ending up in Devilfish... How in the heck did he get to Minnesota?! Oh well. He set himself up in a homeless shelter, Though mostly he stuck to the streets as he was not worth wasting a space in the shelter that someone else could take up who needed it more. It was not long until one morning where a homeless man woke him up screaming about his spot and knifed at him.

After running he found himself injured and ended up triggering.

After triggering he found himself collecting scraps and the like with help from the local homeless in return for helping them in kind here and there. Mostly helping with makeshift shelters and finding food and sorts. Using what little scrap he could find to make makeshift gear.

After he had gotten some things build he Readied himself to making himself feel less useless. One mugging at a time
