Description
"Plates" is a fiesty female who works as an elite "recovery expert" for one Barter John. Short (3.5' tall), squat, and stubborn, she pluckily barrels (figuratively and literally) into combat without regard for the consequences.
In combat, "Plates" is a melee machine. She gleefully pummels foes with her stun baton (affectionally nicknamed "Twitchy"), and also loves to be lobbed by her stronger colleagues onto unexpectant foes. Furthermore, she can tuck herself into an armored sphere so as to roll around the battlefield. When in orb-form, she can't see her opponents very well (suffering a -3 To Hit penalty that can't be offset by her stat-derived +2 hand-to-hand bonus); however, on a successful strike with a damage roll of 6-8 on 1d8, she sends her target flying 4d6 feet away, and knocks it prone.
"Plates" can easily trundle about on all fours, and sometimes does so to trick observers into believing she's just an ordinary, non-sentient critter.
It pained "Plates" to her core to give Barter John the stockpile of artifacts (laser pistols, laser rifles, power clips, LazAb armor, a hologram projector, and more) retrieved from that ant-infested bunker. She secretly pilfered the IR goggles, survival kit, Stimshots, and canned meat, and prays her thieving isn't discovered.
"Designer's Notes": I put the quotations around those words because I had next to nothing to do with this entry, as Tim "Huh—Those Stats Are Kind Of Ridiculous, Aren't They?" Snider designed her and Amy Taylor gave her the personality and the pinballing. My only contributions were adding the claws (since all Mutant Animal characters get one natural weapon), the Aberrant Form mutation (to embody the aforementioned pinballing effects derived in-game), the "real" name, and the pics. Again, I claim NO CREDIT for the awesomeness that is "Plates"!
Also, items marked with a [*] were acquired by the group during play, and not on the original character sheet. I included them simply because, no matter what PC she plays, Amy is greedy for loot.
