Alternate Earth Characters #10

Your GM has announced he's going to run an alternate Earth game and he wants you to make a modified version of your character to fit his "Alternate Earth Setting. The GM is being deliberately unclear about whether you'll be playing your alt character or if your regular character will be facing them.

 

So what is different about your character from

Robo Earth

It's just like the real world but your character was constructed from inanimate material instead of being born. If your character is a robot then on Robo Earth they are biological. And if your a cyborg lets say your organic parts are the mechanical ones and vice versa.

I don't know, but Mechanon's head flying away after the fight suddenly becomes much more creepy.

Dr. Pain -- the only one whose concept even /begins/ to match over...

 

Robo-Pain was a simple nonsentient combat bot built for the "robot wars" events, until a freak accident granted it rudimentary intelligence! Already enormously strong and durable, he went on to become the greatest Robo-Smash champion in history!

The KC 2000 was a poorly constructed bargain computer who became self aware and arranged for a computerized assembly line to build a hulking robotic body which he then programmed to come and rescue him from his monotonous life of surfing the web for porn and recipes. The Husk-E is a robotic adventurer who views fighting crime like a big video game his hulking form is designed to simply take and dish out abuse but given time and resources he is capable of amazing technical feats causing many to speculate he is actually a power armored hero.

[ZootSoot]

Sword Dancer-- Without an heir for the legacy, Kim Mung has his South Korean computer/robotics form build him an heir; all the mystic powers are gone, but now "she" has a wide variety of technological advantages.

 

Crimson Tide--Rather than being a high school/college football hero, Tide is an X-generation training tool for Alabama's football program who gains sentience (and probably some version of his gravity powers). "He" is probably even less congenial, since his ambition to play pro-ball is not taken from him by his powers but by his very nature making his bitterness even more obvious; but he probably is not an expert level sniper in this universe . . .

 

Armando--Geek cyberneticist builds a robot to have all the social success that has eluded him all his life . . .

 

Gangway--Super advanced computer from the distant future uses supertech to project an agent into the past, simulates superspeed because the computer knows what will happen and places her wherever necessary, even though Gangway does not have the same knowledge "herself."

[McCoy]

Humm, Iron Will is not, quite, a cyborg. He has Myasthenia Gravis, is a quadroplegic, and is confined to his float chair/iron lung. His powers are telekinesis, and he's a techno-mage.

 

Robo Iron Will was assembled with a defective body. It's brain was transplanted into an organic body. Then it developed an eco-mage ability, drawing on the inate magical force of the Natural World.

Lightning:: Leader of the Robolts, is a well adjusted high speed transit bot, with an onboard supercomputer. The computer is maintained and operated by large amounts of absorbed electricity in an onboard reserevoir. The accident which resulted in the suprconductive psuedo-neurological brain improvement also allowed Lightning to rebuild the shattered bodies of his life mate, a professional welder bot, and his factory brother, a portable power generator designed to support heavy mining operations.

 

FlaeJet:: Hmm. Designed as a military grade plasma projector for use in the South American Corporate Warzone, the warbot that became Flamejet suffered a magnetic burst that not only allowed him to achieve sentience, but it enabled him to override and communicate with myriad "small function machinery" giving him permanent control over the dumber automatons which perform brute labor in our society.

[Guest WhammeWhamme]

Flippant:

(Original was rebuilt subtly...)

An android gymnast model, catapulted into another dimension by a a prototype accidently installed in him. Rebuilt to be humaniform in another dimension, he achieved control over the device and returned to become a hero.

 

Robot Wraith:

Erm... can sense the programming and hardware details of defunct machinery?

 

I say make it a Cyberkinetic Android with an interest in biology and LEAVE IT AT THAT.

[Vex]

Hmmmm, let's see....

 

Adrenaline would become Driveline and would have the ability to absorb electricty in the area around him to overcharge his systems. This makes him much stronger and faster, but if he pushes too hard (Runs out of END in his Battery) he can do damage to his system.

 

Realm would stay the same except for the origin of his powers.

 

Hecabus would stay pretty much the same, except instead of being a vampire, I think he would be a carrier of the Techno virus alla Warlock from Marvel.

[The Watcher]

Warp: Franklin Stone had it all. Money. Power. Women. The only thing he did not have was family. His only son Daniel had been killed, along with his mother and thousands of other people, when Dr. Destroyer rained down plasma from the sky at the Battle of Detroit.

 

But Stone was not one to let anything take away what was his, even death. With his fortune and cutting edge technological resources he created a son, built in the spitting image of the first Daniel.

 

He even used his deceased son's neural scans from his last medical check-up, along with information from his diary and any other personal information he could gather, to recreate Daniel's personality as closely as possible.

 

What he didn't know was that an electronic mind sophisticated enough to emulate a human personality also was capable of other great feats. Such as mastering the realm of higher mathematics and geometry in a manner similar to the villainess Tesserect, allowing one to manipulate space and dimensions by will alone.

 

Now, taking the heroic identity of Warp, R. Daniel Stone uses those abilities to protect innocents from supervillains. He only wished he could have been there to save the mother he never actually knew.

 

Spectrum: The Progenitor Probe had patrolled the system for millions of millions of years, monitoring the progress of life on Earth since before its masters had vanished.

 

Recently, as humanity took its first tenative steps into space, the Probe approached closer to the planet to observe these significant steps.

 

For a time it had just observed quietly, but as mankind's technological sophistication grew greater its programming told it that now was the time to take the next step and observe from within human society.

 

It then made first contact with astronaut and Air Force Colonel Jack Chricton, requesting diplomatic status with the United States. After some wrangling, such status was granted and it accompanied Chricton back to Earth, taking on a semblence of his form in order to better interact with humans.

 

Now it spends its time trying to learn about humanity, while doing its best to protect the majority of it from its more abberant members, as well as any other potential threats to this most promising race.

Hummingbird becomes a chromatic-metal-skinned composite being, made up of lots of little animal robots. Something like one of the old Voltron series, you know, the one with all the cars- except, instead of cars, it's all animals. The seat of his intellect is housed withing the Hummingbird module, from which he takes his name. By reconfiguring his components, he can appear many different ways and take advantage of various powers housed within his component units. His "base" form is fairly anthropomorphic, with eyes, mouth, five fingers per hand, what have you.

[ParagonAlpha]

Ohhh Okay I can do this one too...

 

The Patriot: TheUS Government creates a series of androids to act as special military troops, designed to slowly remove humans from the battle field. These units are called PATRIOT (no anagram). While in operation one of the units experiences a massive system failure. Unit number 5 becomes self-aware and continues to do what it was created for.

 

Okay thats all I got.

 

Peace

V.I.T.U.S. - Versatile Unit Trained for Ultimate Sabotage ( thanks to the Cyborg Name Decoder ) didn't turn out the way his designers intended. He was certainly lethal, but his first targets were his designers.

 

It's arguable whether the VITUS unit is genuinely free-willed, or completely devoid of behavioural guidelines or controls. Either way, his wide range of energy-casting modules and self-loading projectile weapons make him a robot to avoid, whenever he can be distracted from his own internal simulations and calculations, anyway.

Re: Alternate Earth Characters #10

 

The Icestar line of robots is a mildly popular range of entertainment droids made of lightweight materials and equipped with choreography routines to entertain the masses with displays of ice-skating skill.

 

One of the Icestars would stand out above all others though when one day it accidentally came across an ancient piece of hardware called the Winterc0re. The origins of this artifact are unknown, but it's presumably extra-terrestrial as it is hundreds of years old. When the Icestar unit interfaced with the Winterc0re, the exotic technology instantly co-opted and upgraded several of its systems...the most obvious change being that the droid could now lower its surrounding temperature to below zero, and generate ice for various effects.

 

The Icestar unit decided to use its abilities to protect those weaker than itself and fight crime. What it doesn't realise however is that the Winterc0re contains the malicious Y*M*I*R virus which is subtly corrupting the hero more and more as time passes....and the Winterc0re can't be removed without fear of damaging the Icestar permanently and perhaps fatally.

 

Will the rogue Icestar forge a name for itself as a true hero, or fall victim to one of the universe's oldest technological menaces? Only time will tell...

Mike the Robo-Demon: Even robots have 'robot hell' and the 'robot devil' (just watch Futurama). Mike, a bog-standard bot who doesn't compute in such things, one day finds his processor swapped into a robo-hell battlebot's chassis...

 

Rubber Mousie: Abducted by aliens, but instead of the process leaving her mostly dead, it leaves her all the way dead, so they take the patterns of her brain and add them to a mixture of strange substances, using it as the baseline to program their nano-morph, a sort of T-1000 sent back to learn about Earth.
