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

Energy Chest plate Mk. I [Basic Tech]

Made by Powerline

"This device is the first rendition of the device. It takes in the energy my body produces and stores it in the electrical batteries attached at the back to be used by other pieces of tech."

-This device looks like a strapped on chest and back piece of crudely bent metal plates with what looks like car batteries fused to the back.

-Acts as basic Chest and back armor as well as power Energy Storage.

-Should work for a long time as long as maintenance is kept though its energy Storage is pretty awful.

'Note: This device is a Mk. I. But mostly all I need to do is improve the battery and make the armor less crap. Maybe eventually cover my full torso with it and make a full suit given enough time? That's the hope.

Energy Pistol/Ad Hoc Welder Mk. I [Basic Tech]

Made by Powerline

"Actually a spark... Heh... Of Brilliance when I was working on a electric welder to finish my chest piece. Both a tool AND a weapon all in one piece!"

-Looks like a crappy handmade pistol with wires coming out of its handle. When in operation though it splits open and creates a spark of energy between the front points akin to a Taser. In fact it can be used as such for both short and long ranged use. Firing a electric Spark from the tip.

-Is the main Weapon of Powerline at the moment. Firing a semisolid Electric Marble at the opponent.

-Requires more maintenance than the chest piece due to low quality material and active current flow.

Notes: Another Mk. I. This handy little creation of mine charges off the main power source rather well and fires acceptably... Wish it looked nicer and knew how it fires semi solid electricity somehow. Works Admirably as a Electrical welder.

Electrical field Generator Mk. I [Basic Tech]

Made by Powerline

"I don't like it, but sometimes electronics can be as much of a pain against me as it is a boon. This... Device sends a wave of Electrical interference into a area around me which should help against recording devices. Doubt it would work on something properly protected though."

-Strapped onto the chest piece it looks like a couple of antennae coming from his shoulders when active and retract a little when turned off.

-It is mainly used to deal with recording devices as it distorts if not outright messes with electronics in use if active.

-Requires Little maintenance except for when actively used where the current messes with the shoddy metals in its make.

Note: Get some better materials made. These things are supposed to be only used until I get the cash for better materials but this is ridiculous.

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
