I'm going the other way with this build. Starting from 400 and adding til I get to 1000 for this heavy hitter. 

This is my "Solar Powered" Flying Brick - for the most part, the Solar stuff is a gimick - IE he doesn't really lose his power without it but darkness attacks will do more damage (Vulnerability) and on the off chance he encounters a solar powered foe he's got a leg up. I'm at work and don't have my 6e with me - anyone know how much he absorbs? Is it just 10 AP?

Erik Duncan stared at the solemn-faced man in silence.

"Cancer."

The word had just fallen and landed with a thud on his heart. Oh it was advanced, Erik had never been one to visit the doctor until it was obvious rest and over the counter medications weren't going to cut it. He'd lived with the discomfort but now it was pain and he sat in the office and mulled over what he'd just been told.

 

"And how long - what can we do?" He finally asked. 

Dr Kessel had been a nice man, Erik liked him as much as any other doctor he'd had growing up. His face was neutral but Erik couldn't help but feeling he'd somehow let the man down by contracting a disease. 

"With aggressive therapy, years."

"...But?"

There'd been something in his voice.

"Well your other health concerns make it more difficult."

"You mean my lifetime of avoiding healthy habits has come back to bite me in the butt?" Erik grinned but inside he was already crying. He wasn't even forty-five yet.

"Let's discuss our options."

And that was that. Another hour or so of treatment plans followed by, almost as an afterthought, a card.

"Actually, why don't you give them a call. They've been looking for a few patients of your description to attempt some radical therapy."

"Can't hurt?"

"To listen? No."

 

The voice on the other phone was a cheerful, sympathetic woman. She had introduced herself as Dr. Sørensen, and she seemed very pleased to hear from him.

"Dr Kessel has sent me your files as we'd discussed and I'm happy to say that we might be able to help you!" she seemed genuinely excited.

"Really? That's great what's the treatment?"

"A secret." her tone was one of amusement, "At least until we meet face to face. How are you with airplanes?"

"I can't fly one." He said, her enthusiasm catching and bringing out his inner smart ass.

"Can you ride?"

"Yeah."

"Let me send you the details."

 

It occured to him very early on that this treatment was going to be different. You don't get flown to another country on the research hospital's dime unless there's something in it for them. He would find out quickly how right that was and if anything was more on board with it than ever before.

 

"There is a very real chance this will fix everything that ails you. And then some." Dr. Sørensen, or Kate as she'd preferred now, told him. "But the downside is it may kill you."

Erik looked up from the charts, and the images he'd been studying, "Slowly? I'm already doing that."

"No, quickly. Violently even."

"So at best, I'm better than ever - I'm no doctor but I can parse "increased cognitive capacity" and "cellular regeneration," and at worst I die quickly and painfully instead of slowly and painfully?"

"That's pretty accurate."

He looked over some of the other pages, "Actually, there's probably a chance for rampaging monster too..."

Dr Sørensen nodded wordlessly and avoided his gaze. 

"Yeah, totally worth it."

  • 4 weeks later...

(...continued from before)

 

Eric fidgeted in his boxers. Never comfortable with his corpulence he'd avoided being this close to naked in front of others for years. And now a nice young man and attractive young woman were attaching diodes to his body and periodically injecting him with who-knows-what.

 

Worse than the two prepping him and the nice, older gentleman explaining what they were doing, was the room filled with curious scientists slightly above them. He wasn't just a patient, he was a spectacle. 

 

On the plus side, the embarrassment seemed to dull the pain.

 

"What's in the injections again?" Eric asked casually, he hadn't been listening at all - vaguely catching words like nanites and reconstruction.

 

"There are seven different nanite colonies being introduced to your system," Dr. Laakkonen explained patiently, "Each has a specific task, repairing your bodies cancer, diabetes, and other ailments will be handled by the first two. The rest will be altering your makeup to ensure that the enhancements have the highest chance of success.

 

"Enhancements?" Eric goaded, he wanted more information on enhancements.

 

"Well, we need to strengthen your skeleton and some of the soft tissue to better recover from the overall procedure. The experimental bits...the photosynthesis will allow your body to create the energy needed to run the gravity core. And your frame needs to be as sturdy as possible for that.

 

"Gravity...will I be able to fly?"

 

"In theory." The doctor smiled warmly. 

 

"Is this a bad time to let you know I'm afraid of heights?" Eric felt his stomach churning. He wasn't sure if it was the injections of rth thought of flying, which thrilled and terrified him. 

 

"Too late," Dr. Laakkonen chuckled. "The process will be exceptionally painful as well as time-consuming. We've prepared a anesthetic and nutrient bath for you, you'll be unconscious through most of the ordeal."

 

"Sounds dreamy." Erich said, oblivious to the humor.

 

 

In an hour he was loaded into the cannister and once his vitals and thought patterns stabilized the process began in earnest. The scientists had felt no reason to tell him about the incisions and surgical removal of bits of his tissue. No need to worry him. 

 

"He looks surprisingly peaceful." Dr Sørensen said as she watched the nanite colonies' progress.

"Well, he's practically comatose so that's to be expected," Dr Laakkonen said.

 

"Dr Laakkonen, the dataminers have begun transmitting. We should have the subject's physical anomalies mapped and tracked in a day." One of the techs informed them.

"Good, good. Ok team, monitor the subject's vitals while the data is gathered and have your group leads send me their suggestions. We start rebuilding Mr. Duncan from the inside out tomorrow.

DAY 3

 

"Well," John Ruoho slid the manilla folder to Dr Laakkonen, "Here's what we have, Cancer, diabetes, high cholesterol, low iron, some damage to the left ventricle degeneration of the bones and ligaments in both feet, chronic pain, "frozen shoulder," erectile dysfunction, and very early signs of alzheimer's. Those are the highlights, anyway."

 

Dr Sørensen and Dr Laakkonen looked at the data, a few very big problems and a lot of little ones. The older doctor adjusted his glasses and then looked to his tablet, the data from the nanite colonies working on repairs was coming in slowly but showing progressive signs of improvement.

 

"Anything not showing signs of improvement?"

 

"Well we might need to scrap the plans for keeping the spleen and the kidneys. We've begun synthesizing the new heart and lungs to your specifications. Adding the kidneys won't be hard. The subject's intestines are being "re-walled" today and it's going quickly and without a hitch. He should be able to chug ghost-pepper juice and not pay for it the next day."

 

"I - I did not need that image," Dr Sørensen muttered as she set down her coffee. "When we start working on his brain let me know."

 

Mr. Ruoho nodded, he really needed to go back to school and get his doctorate - he was tired of being the gopher.

 

DAY 7

 

"Good morning, Dr Sørensen" Dr. Haakkenon said, his colleague looked a bit frazzled this morning. 

"Morning," she said grabbing some coffee before even trying to speak. All the enhancements in the world wouldn't have kept her on an even keel after the last three days.

"Get some sleep?" He took a seat and began pouring over the data from the last day's work.

"Finally," Dr Sørensen sighed as she plopped down into her seat, "Group seven almost destroyed group three - thought they were a virus."

"I see," Dr Haakkenon nodded as he read the reports, "The subject pulled through?"

"Despite lethal body temperatures, yes we show almost no damage to the new organs and what little there was has already been repaired. Left the sun lamps on all night."

"We're seeing daylight, so to speak, then?"

Dr Sørensen gave him a dirty look.

"Sorry."

 

Day 27

"Welcome back to the world of the living," Dr Sørensen said as Eric opened his eyes. It was bright, but not blindingly so, just welcoming.

"Thanks. How long was I out? Feels like I've been asleep forever."

"A little less than a month. You're going to feel out of sorts for a bit. Physical therapy will begin on Wednesday."

"...today is..."

"Sunday. We want you to eat solid foods and get reacclimated before doing any strenuous activity."

"How am I?"

She handed him a clipboard and he looked it over for a bit, noting some weird numbers and words he could barely piece together. A few things caught his eye: Hemoglobin AC1 4.1, Resting Heart Rate 44, and the phrase "no cancerous cells detected."

"Well, I like what that says," He tried to keep the excitement out of his voice. But he was having trouble. His voice sounded weird. But he hadn't spoken in almost a month.

"Watch TV, have a sandwich, get back to feeling you and we'll get the physical therapy started wednesday."

Here's the idea that I'd PMed you about -- an evil, alternate-universe version of Erik Duncan called the Tyrant:

 

 

post-10891-0-46098000-1431191057_thumb.jpgpost-10891-0-66907100-1431191095_thumb.jpg

 

 

The new addition to this idea is the woman standing next to him -- a combination of aide-de-camp and lover,

not to mention having precognitive abilities which enable her to 'see' potential threats to her paramour, even

across dimensions. Her true name is unknown, and she is known only as Consort to his minions.
