Name: Moreau/Sawbones
Avatar Style: Digistructor
Gender: Male
Appearance: link / link
Personality: Combine a mad scientist with all the suave sweet talking of a used car salesman and you've got the avatar known as Moreau. Hyperion's representative in the digital world, he's bright, friendly, cheerful and wickedly knowledgeable about all the differences between his products and his competitors' products. If he had a mind to, he could figuratively sell you your own arms for an amazing discount. Of course, the cheery salesman is a front.
In reality, Moreau is an avatar named Sawbones, a dangerous criminal who enjoys nothing so much as tearing apart avatars and piecing them back together as hideous monstrosities. Arrogant, merciless and wicked down to the core, he's nonetheless a brilliant scientist and knows exactly what he's doing. He can and has happily torn through dozens of avatars in the past years for the sake of his experiments, and will happily take advantage of his resources to gather more test subjects.
History: Sawbones was originally a simple avatar made by Robert Oswald to manage the virtual side of Hyperion. When that became irrelevant, he was passed on to Rebecca Oswald as a birthday present. Since then, he has been heavily modified from his original function. While on the surface the old Moreau avatar is still there, beneath the surface he has been changed and augmented by special programs to become the monstrous criminal Sawbones. Wanted across the virtual world for crimes against his species, he has been nearly impossible to track down if not caught in the act.
So confident he is in his evasive skills that he often sends taunts and mockery to the NetPolice, and he has several times baited unprepared squads in to traps only to turn the mutilated officers against their colleagues. In the public sphere, Moreau remains the virtual face of Hyperion, and is often the man starring in their advertisements. He's happy to sell his wares to any interested, and has invested a good deal in arming the NetPolice with the best arms Hyperion can spare.
Add-Ons: Salesman: A standard sales module, allowing the user to conjure up consumer purchases for delivery. Reduces Sawbones' health considerably.
Digistruct: Compile Data: Custom hardware, the Digistruction module gathers loose data from around the user and adds it to a specialized drive. Data accumulates at a rate of two per post, with a cap of twenty stacks of data [Each stack grants a five percent increase to Defense and a five percent reduction to Speed, capping out at doubled Defense and halved Speed]. Every two stacks raises defense but lowers speed. Can break down already-constructed mechs and regain half the data.
Digistruct: Convert Data: Custom hardware allowing the rapid structuring of data stored by Compile Data. Defense is reduced and speed is increased as stacks of data are used [Each stack of data used reduces Defense by five percent and increases Speed by five percent, capping at halved Defense and doubled Speed]. Three turn cooldown between creation of constructs, maximum of five constructs allowed active at once.
Chameleon circuit: Allows the avatar to change everything about their appearance and nature at will. Changes Sawbones to Moreau, and vice versa.
Downloaded Programs: Digistruct: War Bot: Construct a simple war bot using five stored data. The war bot has moderate health. Only two War Bots can be summoned at a time. Each war bot is equipped with an arm-mounted laser cannon (Deals normal damage, no cooldown), a high-yeild rocket launcher (Deals high damage spread out over five feet, five turn cooldown) and a cutting saw mounted on the right arm (Deals low melee damage, one turn cooldown).
Digistruct: Scout Bot: Generates a small melee scout robot for five data. The scout bot has low health, but is very fast. Only two scout bots can be summoned at a time. Each scout bot is equipped with a viral injector (Deals normal damage, infects the target with a low-damage DoT for the next three turns, four turn cooldown), bladed limbs (Deals low damage), and a self destruct module (Deals damage equal to remaining health to all targets within five feet, destroys the scout bot. The bot begins beeping several seconds before the self destruct completes, providing a window of time to block or escape).
Digistruct: War Mech: Constructs a powerful war machine for twenty data. The war mech has high health and low speed. No other units can be summoned while the war mech is active; summoning the war mech forcibly deconstructs the existing constructs but returns no data to Sawbones. The war mech is equipped with a gatling turret (High damage, four turn cooldown), missile pods (Moderate AoE damage within ten feet of target, six turn cooldown), a large laser cannon (Very heavy damage, war mech must recharge for two turns after using this attack, six turn cooldown after the recharge period) and heavy armor (Grants increased health, imune to stuns). In exchange, the war mech cannot avoid damaging attacks
Phase Cannon: Laser cannons built in to the head and hands of Sawbones, capable of blasting enemies from a long range. (Standard attack)
Drilling claws: Powerful claws mounted on the arms and head. On top of being useful in melee combat, they allow for swift burrowing in to soft sand and soil.
Cloaking: A simple camouflage module that briefly turns the avatar invisible to the naked eye. Sawbones cannot be targeted for the duration of the ability, but also cannot attack targets. Can still be damaged indirectly. Duration of three posts unless disengaged early. Cooldown of three posts after becoming visible. Sawbones can still be targeted by entities that see by means other than sight.
