Bulwark

[BenKimball]

For my first powered armor hero, I swiped a name from Champions Universe and imagined a character around it. I'd be happy to hear any comments/criticism. Cheers!

Background/History: Five years after the disastrous result of the first Man Amplification Project (MAP) in 1993, which resulted in the creation of the villain Armadillo and the destruction of valuable resources and personnel, the U.S. Army decided that MAP II was ready for testing. Two suits were built, and the call for volunteers was quietly circulated. The Kimbrough family of southwest Louisiana, with its long tradition of military service, had two boys in the U.S. Army Rangers, both captains: Simon and Christopher. They were selected for the dangerous assignment from the thousands of volunteers in part due to their family legacy, but also for their astounding physical condition and ability to withstand pain.

 

For Simon's brother Christopher, the project was a stunning success; man and machine bonded smoothly into a super soldier known as Fusillade. For Simon, however, something went wrong. His body rejected the chemical treatments of the bonding process, resulting in horrible pain for the young Ranger as his skin began to melt and slough off his bones. Only the quick intervention of a team of Army surgeons was able to save his life, at the cost of terrible disfigurement to Simon. Unwilling to abandon the second half of their project, the scientists pressed on, eventually installing dozens of biomechanical "ports" in Simon's body which would interface with the suit.

 

During the long, agonizing procedure, Simon's brother Christopher sat by him, reciting the Ranger Creed. At times it was the only thing that kept Simon sane. When the project was finally completed successfully, Simon practically leaped into the suit, relishing its strength and power, and its constant reminder of his successful completion of the hardest mission of his life.

 

Simon, now known as Bulwark to the world, has nothing but scorn for Randall Gordon, the Project Sunburst survivor who was the subject of the first MAP program, and who now roams America as the supervillain Armadillo. Bulwark has sworn to bring Gordon to justice.

 

Personality/Motivation: The tremendous power and agility afforded Simon by the Bulwark suit has led to a mildly split personality. When outside of the suit, Simon is reclusive, withdrawn, and bitter. In his life as Bulwark, however, he is transformed into an outgoing, affably confident soldier. Simon remembers his service as a U.S. Army Ranger with great pride, and follows its Creed meticulously in either situation.

 

Quote: "Never shall I fail a comrade! Rangers lead the way!"

 

Powers/Tactics: Not just a hulking mass of Questionite, Bulwark is quite intelligent and has extensive training in the tactics and strategy of warfare. He always tries to fight on his own terms, laying careful plans or ambushes to ensure victory. His onboard computer systems grant him tremendous accuracy at range, and devastating power in hand-to-hand combat. Relatively slow at a run, Bulwark often uses the small "jump jets" built into his suit to literally leap into combat.

 

The Army maintains a number of distinct weapon loadouts for the Bulwark and Fusillade suits. This version of Bulwark's weaponry is typical for urban pacification missions and is largely nonlethal.

 

Appearance: Simon Kimbrough is virtually always seen wearing his dark-colored, sinister-looking powered battlesuit. Fashioned at great expense by the U.S. Army from Questionite, only one other like it exists on Earth: that worn by the Army's other powered armor super-soldier, Simon's brother Christopher (aka Fusillade). There's no mistaking the suit for anything but an expensive piece of military hardware.

 

When not in the suit, however, Simon goes to great lengths to remain unseen. The bonding process that the Army MAP scientists subjected him to left him hideously scarred and hairless. His skin is festooned with various "biointerface ports" which attach to probes on the inside of his battlesuit. Despite the pain and discomfort of "suiting up," Simon prefers to stay in his Bulwark identity as much as possible to avoid the social stigma of his brutal disfigurement.

Buying extra STR and Con, No Figured seems kind of silly if you are buying extra Stun as part of the same power.

D'oh!

 

Here he is again. The cost savings let me add Life Support back in and boost the armor to the campaign max. I'm a happy camper. Thanks!
