Apocalypse How - Alignment and Power Set
Jul. 28th, 2028 08:54 pm Rodney McKay t̷̙̓h̸̠̓e̸͉͋ ̴̙̃e̸͔͌x̵̖̌ṯ̸̀í̸ͅn̵̙͊c̶̤̚t̴͕͝ḭ̷͒o̸̼̓n̴̡͗ (Aligned) |
Alignment and Power Set Rodney is aligned with the Extinction. For his Alignment, his body has been infested with nanobots that slowly take over and replace his organic body over time. They also make it necessary for him to feed - he needs to keep his fear repository filled to keep the nanites working. If he doesn't, they run out of fuel and gradually shut down and his body along with it. But at the same time the more fear he creates, the more the nanites replicate and take over. Power set Regeneration (limited): Rodney has increased healing powers because the nanites repair damage done to his body. For now this is limited to small wounds that heal immediatel. Bigger wounds take a while to repair and also completely deplete his fear repository. If the damage is too big for the nanites to repair or keep up, he'll die. Technopathy (mild): With the nanites, Rodney can communicate with other machines. For now these are limited to small things, from light switches to basic commands for his laptop. Maybe some light hacking if his fear repository is filled up all the way. However, the more he uses this, the more detached he will feel from his humanity and he will start having problems connecting with people on an emotional level. It will also affect the empathy he has towards others. Structural integrity/infestation (partial): Rodney can disassemble parts of his body like a hand or a shoulder into pure nanite form. If he wants to scare others with it, it will look like he's glitching/phasing in and out/turning into static or a cloud. He'll also be able to temporarily infest others with his nanites, making them glitch out in a similar way and giving them the uncanny feeling that something is Wrong with them. It will also make them paranoid that the people around them might not be people but something else. This is opt-in and will only happen with prior player consent and its effect is limited to 24 hours (less, if players wish for it). |

IN CHARACTER
PHYSICAL AFFECTION: difficult. he is very neurotic and unpleasant and has terrible people skills. (exception: his team, people from the Atlantis expedition he's close with)
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: yes! ngl, i'm always here for some cheap whump
RELATIONSHIPS: also difficult.
PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: rodney is a genius astrophysicist so I guess his mind would be pretty loud. generally open to have his mind read/memories seen/etc!
MAGICAL INFORMATION: your average standard human. he possesses an artificial gene that lets him use Ancient technology which is sort of magical? he also almost Ascended to a higher plane of existence once but then opted out last second
MEDICAL INFORMATION: functioning claustrophobic, allergic to citrus, hypoglycemic; very much a hypochondriac and will probably find a way to inform you of the aforementioned whether you want it or not. always eating.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: none
ADDENDUM: Rodney can be very bad with people. He is awkward at small talk, he berates and verbally abuses those working under him, he is petty and jealous of other people's success. Missing social cues he is also terrible at reading a room and often extremely insensitive. He also often displays heaps of toxic masculinity and sexism. On the show this is often played for laughs in best 2k fashion - I tend to not spring that on people without prior communication but if there is anything specific you'd like me to avoid or opt out of interacting with him altogether, lmk below!
