Claim the Sky
The ability to teleport across the world and beyond it could aid humanity in all sorts of ways. Such a person could beam into difficult-to-reach areas and rescue trapped people. They could rush lifesaving organs or other medicines to those in need. They could help set up a moonbase by delivering habitat components directly to Luna's surface.
Or, if you're Death Beam, you could kill for money. Virtually untouchable thanks to their ability to go elsewhere with a thought, Death Beam is an especially feared assassin and thief.
Death Beam is actually a synthezoid that was upgraded with alien tech and escaped a military research lab. Their mind is imprinted with a personality matrix from a living soldier named Zahira Badawi, but the imprint was incomplete.
Motive: Murder for hire
Health: 36
Damage Inflicted: Moderate wound (6 points)
Armor: 3
Movement: Short; teleportation
Modifications: Teleportation tasks as level 9
Combat: The synthezoid can emit two short-range laser attacks, or a single attack against one target as a level 8 attack that inflicts 12 points of damage.
However, Death Beam's true lethality is revealed when they teleport in and attack as part of the same action, often surprising the victim. Assuming the target isn't killed outright, Death Beam can teleport to a new location each round as part of their attack(s), keeping the target off balance enough to hinder their defense tasks.
Sometimes Death Beam uses weapons coated with a level 6 poison that moves victims who fail a Might defense roll one step down the damage track.
Interaction: Death Beam is utterly amoral, adrift except for their desire to kill. If someone is able to dig up information about their past, especially as it relates to Zahira Badawi, the synthezoid could be distracted or even negotiated with; they are drawn to knowing why that name seems so familiar.
Use: The PCs are asked to defend a politician from the threat of an assassination attempt by Death Beam.
Other Equipment: Aside from their weapons and poisons, Death Beam often carries a couple of manifest cyphers, including an infiltrator and a knowledge enhancement.
In the Boundless setting, Death Beam was created in Saudi Arabia and still calls that nation home.
GM Intrusion: The character who fails a Speed defense roll is grabbed by Death Beam and teleported out over the ocean.
