POSTHUMAN ADVANTAGES: BODY ARMOR // PLASMA GENERATION // ENERGY SHIELDS // RESISTANCE TO ENERGY ATTACKS // FLIGHT // HYPER-TRANSPORTATION |
| TRUE NAME: PAVEL RYCHAGOV
AFFILIATION: CABAL FIGHTING: EXCELLENT [20] AGILITY: IREMARKABLE [30] STRENGTH: EXCELLENT [20] ENDURANCE: AMAZING [50] REASON: REMARKABLE [30] INTUITION: GOOD [10] PSYCHE: EXCELLENT [20] HEALTH: 120 KARMA: 60 ABILITIES: BODY ARMOR: SOLARIS WEARS A FOUR-LAYER PRESUMABLY-XENOBIOLOGICAL INSULATED ARMOR AND CONTAINMENT SUIT OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN, WHICH HE WAS WEARING WHEN HE REGAINED CONSCIOUSNESS NEAR THE MOON IO. IT IS PRESUMED, THOUGH NOT PROVEN, TO BE ALIEN IN ORIGIN, AND IS NOT REMOVABLE. IT PROVIDES INCREDIBLE RESISITANCE TO PHYSICAL ATTACKS. AS IT BECOMES DAMAGED, THE SURFACE AREA AT THE DAMAGE POINTS BEGINS TO SUPERHEAT, RELEASING EXCELLENT RANK ENERGY AFFECTING OTHERS AND OBJECTS WITHIN 1M OR ON CONTACT. THE SUIT APPEARS TO SLOWLY REGENERATE AT A RATE OF 5 PTS PER DAY. PLASMA GENERATION- SOLARIS CAN GENERATE SUPERHEATED PLASMA ENERGY UP TO MONSTROUS RANK THROUGH CONTROL PORTS IN HIS GAUNTLETS , WITH A RANGE OF EXCELLENT RANK. HIS RESISTANCE IS UNEARTHLY [100] RANK AGAINST THIS SPECIFIC FORM OF ENERGY. HE CAN CREATE BARRIERS OF PLASMA ENERGY OF SIZE APPROXIMATELY EQUAL TO HIS ENDURANCE RANK (50 SQUARE METERS) WHICH CAN BE SUSTAINED FOR AS LONG AS HE CONCENTRATES. FLIGHT: SOLARIS CAN FLY AT REMARKABLE RANK SPEED WITHIN EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE, AND MONSTROUS RANK SPEED IN THE VACUUM OF SPACE. HYPER-TRANSPORTATION: THOUGH IT HAS ONLY BEEN RECORDED TWICE, WHEN SOLARIS' HEALTH REACHES 25% (30 POINTS) HIS BODY APPEARS TO BE CONSUMED IN A FLARE OF PLASMA ENERGY AND DISINTEGRATES, ONLY TO REFORM , ONCE AGAIN, IN THE BOWELS OF SPACE (BELIEVED TO BE RETURNING TO HIS ORIGINAL IO ORBIT) THOUGH IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED THAT IF HE REQUIRES AT LEAST 2 TURNS WITHOUT SUSTAINING ADDITIONAL DAMAGE FOR THIS TO OCCUR: IN BOTH PREVIOUS CASES, HE HAD TAKEN COVER AND WAS NOT DIRECTLY IN COMBAT WHEN THE HYPER-TRANSPORTATION BEGAN, AND IT WAS BELIEVED TO BE AN INVOLUNTARY SURVIVAL MECHANISM. |
| SOLARIS FIRST GAINED, OR REGAINED, CONSCIOUSNESS , FLOATING PRONE IN ORBIT AROUND THE MOON IO, WITH NO MEMORY OF HOW HE HAD COME TO BE THERE OR HOW IT WAS POSSIBLE. AFTER ORBITING THE MOON FOR SEVERALMORE DAYS AND ACCLIMATING HIS TO HIS UNBELIEVABLE CIRCUMSTANCES, HE USED AN UNEXPLAINED FAMILIARITY WITH ASTRONOMY TO SELF-LOCATE, AND THEN , ONCE HE BEGAN TO RECOGNIZE CONSTELLATIONS AND HIS GENERAL LOCATION WITHIN THE SOLAR SYSTEM, AND ONCE ORIENTED IN EARTH'S DIRECTION, HE FELT A STRONG SUBLIMINAL PULL AND BEGAN TO FLY IN THE DIRECTION THAT WOULD EVENTUALLY, OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL YEARS OF TRAVEL, PROVE TO LEAD HIM , NOT ONLY TO EARTH, BUT SPECIFICALLY TO MOSCOW. THOUGH HIS PRESENCE IN THE FORMER CAPITAL OF THE SOVIET UNION CREATED PANIC AND CHAOS, IN SHORT TIME HE REALIZED HE RECOGNIZED MANY LANDMARKS AND REGIONAL GEOGRAPHICAL FEATURES, THOUGH MUCH OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT HAD CHANGED. AFTER EXPLORING MOSCOW OVER THREE DAYS, SURROUNDED AT A DISTANCE BY A BATALLION OF THE RUSSIAN MILITARY AS THE CIVILIAN POPULATION WAS EVACUATED (SEEN AROUND THE WORLD ON GLOBAL NETWROK NEWS AND AT THE TIME BELIEVED TO BE OF ALIEN ORIGIN) HE CAME TO REALIZE, OR BELIEVE, THAT HE WAS PAVEL RYCHAGOV, THE FORMER COMMANDER OF THE SOVIET AIR COMMAND DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR AND RANKING MEMBER OF STALIN'S POLITBURO BEFORE HIS FALL FROM GRACE AND EXECUTION FOR TREASON BY THE NKVD. HOW HE WAS SPARED FROM DEATH, AND HAD NOT SUFFERED WEAKNESS OF PHYSICAL AND MENTAL EDURANCE INDICATING AGING, NOR HOW HE CAME TO REGAIN CONSCIOUSNESS NEAR IO, AND NOT REQUIRE FOOD OR REST, REMAINED A MYSTERY. ADDITIONALLY, THOUGH NOT PROVEN, HE BELIEVED HIS PHYSICAL FORM TO BE CONTAINING THE CORE OF AN INFANT STAR.
WHILE HIS INITIAL APPEARANCE ON EARTH WAS MET WITH GREAT INTEREST AND SENSATIONAL MEDIA OBSESSION AS AN ALIEN VISITOR, HIS ATTEMPTS TO COMMUNICATE WITH RUSSIAN LEADERS AND EXPLAIN HIMSELF TO BE THE REINCARNATED SPIRIT OF A GENERATIONS-GONE MILITARY LEADER, TROUBLED THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT AND THE MILITARY ATTEMPTED TO EXECUTE HIM (AGAIN) IN RED SQUARE, IN AN UNFORTUNATE ATTACK THAT LEFT THOUSANDS OF RUSSIAN SOLDIERS DEAD. HE WAS EVENTUALLY DEFEATED BY THE AMERICAN ARMORED HERO SENTRY ONE, AND DISAPPEARED. HE RESURFACED SEVERAL YEARS LATER AND ATTACKED WASHINGTON DC, WHERE HE ENGAGED BATTLE WITH KILOTON, WHO WOULD LATER BE A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE CRISIS RESPONSE TEAM RAMPART. THE BATTLE LASTED THREE DAYS AND SPANNED SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES ACROSS THE ATLANTIC OCEAN, BEFORE HE WAS FINALLY DEFEATED AND AGAIN DISAPPEARED. HE HAS NOT BEEN SEEN SINCE. |
