Alphadroid (PL12 NPC, Tier 1)


Recommended Posts

Character Name: Alphadroid

Power Level: 12 (180PP)

Trade-Offs: -2 Attack / +2 Damage, -4 Defense / +4 Toughness

In Brief: A military prototype robot built to match and fight against Omegadrones by targetting any forms of terminus energy. Not so good at distinguishing heroic forms of it.

Description: About twelve feet tall greyish black and very bulky, this robot is a prototype model based on discarded and leftover remains of Omegadrones as well as a hospog of any other military equipment. Unlike the drones, it is fully robotic instead of a brainwashed person in a suite. It has yet to be fitted with any hand weapons but has had some rocklaunchers installed, though later models might switch to more compact firepower. The shells of the rockets are military grade anti-tank rounds with a sophisticated firing and targetting system, the AI running it, not so much.

History: The casualties of the second terminus invasion brought about a lot of changes, and not just the loss of lives and of heroes. Though it was considered a great threat before, the real gravity of it with the loss in this one presented a new idea to have an unmanned defense against the Terminus, and that's when they started Project Alphadroid. For about two years AEGIS worked on it, before losing interest as simply making better armor and weapons for soldiers was proving far more efficient. So project Alphadroid was discontinued until about 2005 when it was revived by a new member of AEGIS and HIT graduate Erik Turner. He greatly pushed for this project being the son of one of the soldiers that died during the invasion, but his support was very little and his funding was cut to bare minimum in favor of the armored programs. Dispite this, he and his scarce but bright team managed to develop a sophisticated tracking system that honed on in terminus energy, as well as built several models of the robot from spare parts that were usually discarded from some of the other programs.

Power Descriptions: Large protype robots with rockets.

Personality & Modivation: It's a robot, and not really a sentient one either. The design is supposed to be that it will respond to vocal commands from high ranking military personal, but this is a prototype so it this recognition has yet to be fully installed. What is installed is it's base programming, essentially, it's designed to seek out and target any potential agents of the terminus. It does this by tracking down and attacking anything producing a set amount of terminus energy.

Hehe, robot NPC. This is the alphadroid, a protoype that was accidently activated before it could have all the proper failsafes uploaded. For the first thread this is for, it's gonna be the main baddy, but the AI is less villianous as it is simple. It would be a very useful minion for use against any villianous terminus characters like say actual Omegadrones. Of course, there are very few of these around (probably just about a dozen prototypes being worked on by the military, which will probably be under major lock and key after the first one mysteriously gets activated), so, it's more likely to be brought out either if a villian steals one, or if there's a second terminus invasion.

I think you mean prototypes, but along with that, maybe lengthen this. Does the robot make any weird flashy lights or shout <TARGET ACQUIRED> when it finds something?

Please check spelling.

It's a mindless robot, and thus feels no fear anyway.

Powers: 30 + 19 + 42 +7 + 2 = 105PP

Immunity 30 (All Fortitude Effects) 30pp

Growth 6 (PF: Innate) 19pp

Protection 16 (Extras: Impervious 8) 24pp

Immovable 2 2pp

Flight 5 5pp

Firstly, Growth is really only worthwhile at ranks 4/8/12/16/etc. Also, please list the full effects of it.

Secondly, why are the rockets Autofire? I'd have seen them more as an Area thing.

Please list Flight speed.

Also, actual history please? What military organisation developed it (I'd guess AEGIS)? How many were made? How well known are they?
