Hello and Character Post [Fallout]

[Certified]

Well I’ve been lurking around here for a little bit now and I’ve posted a few times but I’ve noticed a real tight kind of community here so I thought I would introduce myself. So here goes, hi all. I thought I would include the character I’m currently playing and see if anyone had any suggestions of where to take him as he gains experience. (Just a Note he lacks Desolidification at the GM’s request) I hope you enjoy and here he is…

 

 

Appearance: A pulsing humanoid shaped ball of crackling radioactive energy. A red eye of force float within the center. With concentration Fallout can return to a semi-humanoid state. While humanoid his flesh retains the same red-green hue constantly flickering and rippling as if trying to burst free of the skin.

 

Background: Jason Burrows was once an almost normal collage student, studying to become a Radiologist. With grades just above average and a fondness of sports Jason never conceived of the strange mutagenic powers growing within him. When one of his professors noticed that his body carried abnormal amounts of radiation his name and information was logged for future review. For whatever reason, Jason's body did not dissipate any of the ambient radiation absorbed during day to day activities.

 

Jason's data was forwarded to an organization that preyed on weak mutants looking to capitalize on their abilities before they realized their potential. Monitoring his progress though collage his body already contained lethal levels of radiation before his senior year. Self contained, it was only detectable though blood sampling and other detailed analysis. To avoid harming the young man the professor who originally made the discovery kept Jason�s medical files confidential working with his doctors. This set Jason up for the event that forever changed his life.

 

Just out of collage Jason was offered an internship with one of the leading hospitals in the country for cancer therapy specializing in radiotherapy. On his first day Jason was trapped inside a clean room with an experimental XBRT laser where he was bombarded with the ultra high levels of radiation. The beam controlled from the outside had been modified increase the output ten thousand fold, fatal to a normal man within seconds.

 

On that day Jason Burrows died. His body burned away from the inside in a nuclear fire. Fallout was born, his consciousness existing within the field of static electricity created in ambient radiation. The resulting explosion of his birth destroyed nearly half the wing; eighteen dead in the explosion and another sixty four from radiation exposure in the weeks after. Since that day Fallout has undergone extreme scientific observation but so far it seems he can contain the radioactive elements that comprise his consciousness in a semisolid body.

 

Personalilty: When unidentified military forces attacked the research facility Jason was being held he was instrumental in their defense. Fallout has aided the military and policing organizations on numerous occasions helping to quell super powered threats. However, to this day seeks revenge on the organization that ended his chances at a normal life and has dedicated himself to stopping the machinations of science out of control. He accepts the need for experimentation and the progress of technology and does not fear scientific advancement but cannot abide by the loss of an individual�s right to choose.

Re: Hello and Character Post [Fallout]

 

I just skimmed the character, I have a couple of questions?

 

Energy blast: What's it supposed to do, it's not very strong is it? Why have you personal immunity? You have the defence anyway don't you?

 

Healing: I don't get it. I can't really see healing in a radiation Elemental control, if I was the GM you'd have to do some fast talking to get that one by me.

Re: Hello and Character Post [Fallout]

 

I took personal immunity to the EB because it’s supposed to be a burst of radiation, and at some point I hope to pump it up some more. As for the regeneration, he is constantly absorbing ambient radiation and not releasing it, the healing is to represent that.
