Claim the Sky
Elmore Chang's contributions to robotic science aren't well known, given that he's one of several research scientists at Dynamic, Inc. But he's considered a legend among industry peers. And even they don't realize that in his home robotics lab, he crafted an armored flying suit designed with smart materials of his own creation. When he steps into it, he ceases to be Elmore Chang, and becomes Defender!
Defender fears nothing, believing himself impervious to harm. No task is too desperate for him to attempt, if it means saving someone else's life. Having lost his wife to a villain attack, he is focused on defeating those with amazing abilities who put greed above everything else.
In the Boundless setting, Defender is a member of the New York-based Society of Seven.
Motive: Protect the innocent
Environment: Anywhere
Health: 33
Damage Inflicted: Moderate wound (7 points)
Armor: 10
Movement: Short; very long when flying
Modifications: Technical engineering tasks as level 9; Might defense tasks and tasks related to using his armor as level 8
Combat: Defender can hammer a foe in melee using armored fists, or fire physical rounds at a target within very long range from guns built into his suit's arms (with ammunition synthesized at need using smart materials stored for that purpose) using a computerized targeting system. If any damage manages to penetrate his armor, automatic first aid systems allow Defender to regain 2 points of health each round while he is still alive.
The armor provides its own internal atmosphere.
Unless the suit is breached, Defender can venture unharmed underwater or into space, and ignore poisonous fumes or weaponized biological agents. The suit is priceless, at least for a group unscrupulous enough to take it by force and try to reverse-engineer it. Only someone Defender has authorized to use the suit can do so; otherwise the encryption is too sophisticated for most people to bypass.
Interaction: Defender is enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and helpful, but can easily be distracted if innocents are in danger.
Use: A notorious villain has taken over a skyscraper, taking hostages in the process. In addition to anyone else who shows up to help, Defender descends from the sky in his shining armor, determined to save everyone.
GM Intrusion: Defender deploys a gadget from his armor that helps him in a specific situation against another character, such as a tow cable, a strobing light, a shield, or something else.
