Howdy!I would like some feedback on a character I built for one of my players in my campaign. I am not sure I built the character correctly. The idea was a speedster who gets his power from an alien drug. While on the alien drug the character becomes radioactive. Also he can boost how fast he can react with additional doses of the drug to the point where he could die. The player wanted to have the drug also increase his strength, like an adrenline rush. The stats inclue the normal drug dosage added to the primary stats. Secondary stats add in the benefit of the second dose. The third and final dose of the drug is not added into the stats.So I now present, BLue NovaBlue Nova

Appearance: Haley is very thin but well toned. His exposure to Nova changed his eyes from green to what they are now and the radiation makes him look like he has had chemo-therapy. Other than that there is nothing all that out of the ordinary about him.
The containment suit is a blue-silver metallic body suit made out of a combination of the outer shell from the meteorite and standard ‘superhero’ spandex. The radiation converter is housed within a set of bracers, boots, helmet, and breastplate w/backpack unit (blackened metal in color). Each part has both an extract point and exhaust channels (both of which look crystalline and are opaque sky blue in color). The helmet includes a HUD computer built into the visor that enables Haley to adjust his sense of sight to high speeds, injector controls, and controls for the exhaust halo in the backpack. The breastplate also has the Nova injector tied-into the main extract point. The backpack has intake openings that the exhaust is focused into from the exhaust channels. Exhaust is then expelled from a halo-like opening in the back, size and direction of this opening is controlled through the helmet’s HUD.
Personality: Haley is a bright and good natured person. Normally he is neither reserved nor rash, and tends to be outgoing, honest, and loyal. He keeps the nature of how his powers work a secret. In combat he tends to creative but obedient towards authority figures on his side.Quote:Background: Haley’s early life was fairly normal. He was an only child but easily made friends with his next door neighbor, Noah Carter, their friendship has lasted since. He excelled throughout his academic career, but took specific interest in mineralogy and astrology.
While studying radioactive minerals in college, he discovered a way to covert and burn off most sources of radiation. The idea and machine while not commercially cost effective got him enough money from government contracts to let him spend most of his time after college doing whatever he wanted. This turned out to be searching out and researching meteorites and other fallen objects from outer space.
Mineralogist and freelance inventor, Haley Scott, spent most of his time chasing down and researching meteorites. One day, he found a rather unusual specimen, despite having just fallen to Earth, the large car sized meteorite was cool to the touch and gave off no radiation. However when he opened it back in his lab, the inside gave off an eerie light and substance. Haley’s skin absorbed some and for the next hour or so he possessed incredible speed and above average strength. After the effects wore off, radiation poisoning set in leaving him bed-ridden in the care of his best friend, Doctor Noah Carter.
Working with the rock, he discovered several things about both the outer layer and inner stubstance. First is that the outer layer both acted as both containment unit and armor for the substance. Next was that a side effect of the radiation incorporated itself into his organic functions (requiring that he has a certain amount of trace radiation in his system for his body to continue operating). Lastly was that this alien narcotic not only boosted his speed and strength while it was in his system but also left him with the speed capabilities of an Olympic track star and the strength of a casual bodybuilder.
With some research Noah determined that the radiation would kill Haley within five years, sooner if more than minimum dosage was used. Unable to just let himself die, nor go into isolation until his time was up, Haley used some of the outer shell of the meteor and a mobile proto-type of one of his inventions (a radiation converter) to create a suit that would let him use what powers he had gain to help people. Having just completed his test run for the suit he is now ready to begin.
