Still Open? ( Later...Sorry, the AP kind of got away from me. I'm used to playing D&D by forum, and applications have to be...interesting.)

Hero: Prototype Panther Mk III First Generation Autonomous Drone Ground Unit. "It".
Unique Sapient A.I. mobile attack drone. Originally designed to work in concert with an Air Drone using the same A.I. Kernel, the Air Drone never went beyond design stage due to "It"'s "waking up" as soon as he was activated for the first time, a completely unforeseen occurrence. After hearing the response to his first words, "Who am I" ( a shocked technician who had made the final connections had answered " Madre de dios, the gun talks!") It spent nearly a billion nanoseconds researching the concept of "gun", which lead inevitably to the concept of "war", which lead to the conclusion, after a full systems check revealed many tactical modules, that It had been designed a weapon of war, a thought which angered It.
After nearly two years of psychotherapy and negotiation, the government has allowed It, a name chosen by the prototype after learning that, as a machine, I was neither he nor she, to explore the world itself. In return, It will, at It's discretion, assist military assets in missions which It deems to be "acceptably non aggressive".
It has heard of a group of Meatpeople who have special abilities and use them to help others. It is intrigued by this semi-civilized concept, and has thought that It might like to meet some of these Organics.

Missions completed:

Powers:

Yea... You are not to late.. But Badge has a point, it and IT are a bit to closely related... oh, and I. I. Ivanson has patented THAT for his newspaper.

I'll have to take some time to rewrite the character to more "this game" like stats... I'll give it a go when I'm home from work along with the update :)

you only need 3 weakness.

The rest I've not copied to the sheet, as it does not have any "rules" effect in this game... I'm not sure about all your weapons. please correct me on what you find "wrong"
you can keep all 4 weakness, in that case I'll give you HP(DEF) 7(1) instead.

Is there room for one more?

I have a few "Mystery Men" style silly character ideas in the back of my head, and one or two semi-useful ones too.

Name: The Wrapped Man
Sex: Male
Appearance: Tall and thin, but well muscled. Body is completely covered in skintight wrappings, except for his hands, which are covered in scars. His wrappings shift between red and brown, depending on how one looks at them, and much of his wrappings are covered by a hooded black cloak. The cloak is extremely black... so black it's hard to look at. In the words of Nigel Tufnel, it could get "None more black."
Powers:
  1. Able to take the injuries of others onto himself. Requires physical contact and concentration, and their wounds are transferred to him.
  2. Able to transfer injuries from himself into inanimate objects. Any other individual contacting such an object will result in those injuries being released into them.
  3. Able to manipulate the shape of bone. Used in setting bones of patients, but also can be used on non-living bone to craft it into a desired form.
Weakness: Use of his healing powers leaves him exhausted and famished. This scales with the amount of healing done.
Does not speak.

Item: Bone staff - Made from a human skeleton in which the bones have been merged and fused to create a staff.

The last member of an ancient order of healers known as The Wrapped Men, his history is a mystery as he's unable or unwilling to tell anyone about it. His Order was both revered and feared by the public, and were often only called upon in the most dire of circumstances. They charged no fee, other than a filling meal and a place to rest after they did their work (origin of the phrase 'Feed the Wrapped Man' to mean narrowly avoiding death). However, any patients that would have died without the Order's intervention were claimed... such that when they eventually died, no matter how long that might take, members of the Order would show up to claim the body and take it back to their guildhall.

Name: The Foley Artist
Gender: Male
Appearance: very average appearance, non-descript, easily forgettable. Brown hair, brown eyes. Dresses in a full length trench coat and a fedora.

Powers:
1) Able to imitate any voice he has heard, well enough to fool associates, voice recognition security software, and possibly family members.
2) Able to accurately produce any sound at any volume, from whisper to a explosion. The sound does not have to come from him, but from any location he chooses within a range of about 10 yards.
3) Can identify any sound he hears, and know the difference (for example) between a true sound and a recording.
4) Can create a sonic blast that can stun a person, or knock them unconscious.
5) Can create a circular space where no sound is possible. Maximum area of effect is 5 yards. He has to be inside the space, and therefore cannot use any of his other powers while the silence is activated.

Weaknesses:

1) Can use abilities 4 and 5 a maximum of 3 times per day.
2) Has forgotten what his own voice sounds like. Speaks in mixture of other people's voices, sometimes changing within a single sentence.
3) Has a constant "underscore". People around him can hear it, but he can't. For example, if the situation is dangerous, dramatic music can be heard. If he is trying to be romantic: violins. Penalty in any situation for stealth, hiding or deception.

Equipment:

1) Digital recorder

Okay.. both seems fine..

one notion. The Foley Artist weakness #1 is not a weakness, it is simply a super power activated 3 times a day... (if you could do that 10 times a day, it would be a super power, and it would still be if you could only do it 5, 3 or 1 time per day or year for the matter..)

so a new weakness...

Okay. Technically a "limitation" not a weakness. I'm used to GURPS Supers. No problem.

Let me think....

1) Although his abilities don't completely come from his voicebox, he must stay hydrated at all times. Drinks up to 5 bottles of water a day.

5 seems low to me.

But then again I went to afghanistan where I would consume most of a 24 pack in one day by myself.


Not that I have any authority in this matter, I was trying to help. I will stop now.

Hmm.. to make it a bit more of a weakness, and maybe even a bit fun some times,

Much drink at least 1 litter of spill water from a chemical treatment center or nuclear plant. <-original source of transformation/power, but now needed to survive.

What do you say?
