Bootstrap

Bootstrap is a Thundercloud Belza, currently self-employed as an explorer, adventurer, bounty hunter, and freelance engineer and repair technician. Having migrated from his homeworld, Traveler, onto the gas giant's colony-moon of Sargasso, Bootstrap seeks to ply his trade and gather as much information about the universe around him as possible.

  • 'Body' - Bootstrap is, essentially, a sentient cumulus cloud. The specific coloration changes with his mood - however, this is rarely seen.
  • 'Head' - The most recognizable part of Bootstrap is his 'head', the primary component to his pressure suits. Effectively, it consists of a roughly melon-sized burnished sphere, akin to a ball bearing, with all of the sensitive computer parts, life support, and interfacing components kept safely within. If removed from a pressure suit, the sphere can roll to safety at a fairly quick pace.
  • 'Eyes' - Belzan vision uses LiDAR to see the world - this manifests as a pair of ethereal, glowing, viridian ovals of light on the face of Bootstrap's 'head'.
  • Pressure Suits Given that Bootstrap would die a horribly painful death if he were to attempt to enter a normal atmosphere, the Bezlan uses a variety of modular, humanoid, robotic suits to get around and explore the world. His 'head' is the modular control component for each of the suits, and can be readily transferred between them as needed.
    • Iteration III Civilian Module - The robotic suit is designed to give the appearance of a finely-dressed human (Albeit one with a ball bearing as a head) wearing a suit and tie, standing roughly six feet tall. Given Bootstrap's propensity for magnetic engineering, the Civilian Module has no arms - the suit's hands float freely under a magnetic field, though tend to keep within a human range of expression for purposes of not disturbing human clients.
    • I:25_C Combat Armature - When the situation calls for action, Bootstrap dons a humanoid suit of custom-designed powered armor. The heavy-duty and heavily-armored frame easily stands nine feet tall, but retains fairly humanoid proportions. As free-floating arms would be impractical as weapon mounts or in close combat, the frame's primary arms are still attached - however, a secondary set of hands floats freely for tasks requiring fine manipulation. Bootstrap's 'head' is kept safe behind an angular helmet, his 'eyes' peering out from behind a transparent Helenium visor.

Abilities

Theme: Bootstrap's abilities arise from a union of his peculiar Belzan nature, his in-depth engineering knowledge with regard to magnetism and electricity, and expert powered-armor piloting skill.

  • Racial abilities - Bezla are offered a few extraordinary abilities due to their gaseous composition, and Bootstrap's thundercloud nature expands upon these traits further.
    • LiDAR Vision - The ghostly lights in Bootstrap's 'head' aren't just for show; Bezla 'see' using a process very similar to LiDAR imaging, and are able to 'see' using a wide variety of wavelengths ranging through the visible, infrared, and ultraviolet spectra.
    • Accelerated Learning - Bezla benefit from exceptional intellect, alongside an inherent knack for picking up new information; it is not uncommon for a Bezlan to be able to speak, albeit in a very broken manner, in a previously unknown language after as little as a day of exposure.
    • Electrostatic Generator - Bootstrap's body, as a result of his Thundercloud biology, generates a great deal of electrostatic energy. Under normal circumstances, this electrostatic energy would continue to build within his body until it catastrophically exploded - fortunately, Bootstrap's pressure suits siphon off and store this energy to power both themselves and the various weapons they utilize.

Psychology: Write a paragraph or two about your character's worldview, thought process, and psychology here.

  • Likes - Your character's likes.
  • Dislikes - Your character's dislikes.
  • Goals - Your character's short or long term goals. Optional.

PSI

  • Bezlan Telekinesis - Bezla possess low-level telekinesis, largely used for field-repairs and construction of their pressure suits - it doesn't possess enough force to be useful in combat, but it is precise enough to be used for tasks requiring fine manipulation.

Personality - Describe your character's personality in one paragraph here.

Affiliations and Beliefs

Describe your character's positive affiliations, such as societies they belong to, contact groups they have, or organisational and occupational ties.
You may also list any belief systems the character follows.
You may also list enemies in a subheader if your character has made any!

Languages

As a Belza, Bootstrap is only able to inherently speak the Belza's own tongue - with electronic assistance, however, he can quite fluently speak Aleph Basic, and is well-versed in a number of machine languages.

Write about your character's life, upbringing, and any notable events in two to four paragraphs here.
Write about your character's current experiences here, and how they are moving into their intended plot. Keep this section up to date with major plot events.
