Fools, We Will Destroy You All! ...After We Save The World! (Mad Scientist Riot Quest)(RECRUITING!)

Basic Rules

Broadly speaking, there are four major mechanics that players need to be aware of in order to play.

First is Actions, which can be summarized as follows

• Each player gets two personal actions per turn, one of which must be Research.
• Sometimes there are also free actions available. They don't consume an Action slot.
• Each Action is resolved with a d100 roll, modified by both Manpower and Equipment
• Manpower adds linear bonuses based on the number of Players and Minions involved in the action, and any specific bonuses they might have. Regardless of specific bonuses, each Player and Minion involved in an action adds +2 to the roll.
• In this context, a Minion is defined as anything that is
  1: On your side
  2: Not a player
  3: Capable of moving under its own power
  4: Can be directed to accomplish objectives
  5: Is at least as large as a cat
  6: Is re-usable
• Equipment is situational in where it's bonuses are applicable, but in those situations, as long as there's enough for everyone who might need it, it grants a bonus equal to a percentage of the Manpower bonus for the check, rounded to the nearest whole number.
• Even without Equipment, Minions and Player Characters are generally assumed to have whatever mundane gear might be needed for the Action at hand, but this doesn't provide bonuses.
• Players who participate in an action gain Experience for the relevant skill; enough Experience causes the relevant skill to level up. Each level in a skill grants a +5 bonus on the appropriate action type.

Second is Finance

• To put it quite bluntly, you need money. You need it to build equipment, you need it to keep the army of killbots maintained, you need it to pay hired muscle, and you need it to keep the lights on in your bases.
• Finances are simply measured in Funds, which is defined as enough to pay one basic minion for one week.
• Consistent but relatively slow means of acquiring Funds can be achieved via starting a front company. These have a noticeable start-up cost, but barring disaster can keep the money coming in for a very long time.
• Other means of acquiring money generally result in single large lump sums of money, often with strings attached, such as having to pay interest.

Third is Bases

• Bases are rated on Size, Concealment, and Fortification.
• For each point of Size, a base can have one room; certain rooms are required to perform specific actions, such as research. Others just provide a bonus.
• Concealment reduces the chance of a base being discovered by your enemies, and let's face it, you'll make enemies.
• Fortification is how hard the base is to attack; generally, it's inversely proportional to Concealment.

Fourth is Statuses

• Sometimes, failing an action or making use of specific equipment will have consequences, which are known as Statuses.
• Statuses, generally, reduce the effectiveness of the character with the status.
• Every status comes with a duration before it goes away, with the exception of being dead.
• Every status can be removed with sufficient SCIENCE! including being dead.
• An example Status: Injured characters cannot perform combat actions.
  Current List Of Statuses
• Injured: Cannot participate in combat actions
• Crippled: Can only perform one action per turn
• Lost: Cannot perform actions unless someone comes and gets you.
• R.I.P.: Your character is PERMANANTLY dead, usually body destroyed with no backup or esoteric effects

Character Roster

You can either make a character, or play as a Generic Mad ScientistTM​. There are significant mechanical incentives to make a character, as a Generic Mad ScientistTM​ starts with two levels in Research and nothing else.

To be more specific, making a character involves filling out the following Template, which is pretty straightforwards.

Player: Your Username Here
Name: Character Name Here
Description: Describe Character Here; please limit said description to a paragraph in length.
Backstory: Character's History Here; please limit said backstory to a paragraph in length.
Skill Levels: You have seven skill levels to distribute between Research, Operations, Espionage, and Combat. At least two levels in Research is mandatory.
Starting Inventions: List up to three gadgets you start play with, with each being added to the group's list of Blueprints. These devices will be functional, but will suck compared to what can be made later in the game. Listing a smaller number of gadgets allows for them to be better starting out. You cannot start with any means to travel back in time.

Here's an example character, to give you an idea of what a completed character sheet looks like.
Player: @I just write
Name: Professor Red
Description: A tall blonde woman who likes to wear a bright red labcoat covered in bandoleers of tools, Professor Red is well-known in the Mad Scientific Community for her anthropological work on all those other shadowy threats to the world. She is skilled in bio-engineering and brainwashing techniques, which is what enabled her to successfully discover these shadowy elements' existence.
Backstory: An experienced Mad Scientist, Professor Red has been investigating the unusual happenings in the world that can't be chalked up to Mad Science with great vigor for the past decade or so. Recently, she managed to capture both a wizard and an alien, and took them to the International Convention of Mad Scientists to demonstrate her findings.

Backstory: A former assistant of many other mad scientists, XNFE was not particularly bright at sciency-stuff nor have any ambition that could be called mad. She simply enjoyed working under a mad scientist since she could just laze around and enjoying easy pay. Her employer too engrossed on their works after all, not to mention the antics they got into quite amusing for XNFE to watch. She already worked under many mad scientist and quit when it become too dangerous, or the situation no fun enough, or when she couldn't laze around as much. However, one incident later involving blackjack, a spoon, and toilet, causing her to lost her arms and her latest employer. Cobbling together her first invention from various bits left around, she managed to create her first invention, the Pandora Orb. Quickly using it to integrate a new pair of mechanical arms, she left to wander around the world finding another mad scientist that amusing enough to be with.

Player: @Phasehand
Name: Magnus Krampatoradelarga
Description: A short man of 5'0" with bright red hair and blue eyes, hair reaches shoulder blades and are dreadlocks. Thin but fit body build. Tends to wear loose clothing that has so many pockets that they are more pocket then clothing. His pockets are filled with anything he thinks may be useful within the next week, and a lot of random miscellaneous items.
Backstory: A man fascinated by clockwork and steam based technology, but unskilled in the creation of them. He went to a University to study advanced electronics and robotics, which is his specialty. Expelled from and blacklisted from all known Universities before he could graduate for the creation of a self-replicating Automatic Toaster, it toasted everything it could reach and then proceeded to use the things that didn't toast to make more. He has since learned that the machine's programming is just as important as the machine it'self. During his time at the University he decided that carrying a bag around was boring and as such started to stitch extra pockets onto all of his clothing, as such all of his clothes are a random mismatch of colors. Has an odd tendency to try to automate everything, and then weaponize it, usually fire is included.
Skill Levels: Research 2 (6/7) | Operations 2 (1/7) | Espionage 0 | Combat 3
Integrated Blueprints:Pandora Orb, Black Blood, Orichalcum V1, Time-Stop Button, Net Navi, Computerized Reality Model, Dynacap Capsule
Starting Inventions: Automatic Toaster - Essentially a furnace on wheels with a pair of arms, capable of cutting and then melting steel it grabs objects within reach, cutting them into smaller sizes if necessary, it then places the objects into it's internal furnace for melting down and to be used to make more of it'self. Fusion powered, upon complete submersion in water it shuts down and explodes. It was meant to toast bread. Do to a design flaw it viewed everything as either bread to toast or raw materials for use, living creatures included.
Forging Furnace - A redesign of the Automatic Toaster to render it stationary and incapable of self-replication, it must now be fed the raw materials which it will then use to construct the desired component or construct. It also makes excellent toast.

Spoiler: Original Forging Furnace description

Forging Furnace - A fixed and improved version of the Automatic Toaster, it has had it's wheels removed making it stationary and set to Standby Mode as a default, will only act if given a task to make parts and the raw materials to do so.

Fire Bot - A mobile flamethrower.
Spider Bot (Small) - Small robotic spider, approximately the size of a large cat, used as general robotic minion. Capable of carrying objects and using tools, has a small fusion welder/cutter where the mouth would be.

Player: @Void Stalker
Name: Doctor Watson
Description: Doctor Watson is a young man of average height and build of Caucasian and East Asian descent. He has a tendency to wear a lab coat as he prefers working in a lab above all else and specializes in high-energy experiments. A fan of steampunk, if he is not in his traditional lab coat he is often found with a slightly altered one with lovely brass goggles. Pic Here
Backstory: The youngest of three children, he had less pressure placed on him as his parents focused on getting their eldest two to follow their footsteps as doctors. It did help him that his early fascination with both science and science-fiction was encouraged with camps and summer lessons. However unlike his siblings and parents he saw Einstein, Edison, Tesla, Bohrs and others as his heroes and vowed to be like them. With his parents busy with work and his older siblings he had free time of his own and began to run his own experiments at home, helped by a generous budget. For him the idea of tapping into other dimensions for power, planted by years of reading science fiction, was his ultimate goal. It wasn't until he finagled an internship during college at the Large Hadron Collider that he could actually put ideas into practice. Still his limited and monitored access left him frustrated as he could see that what was being done was only scratching the surface. Patenting and then selling some of trinkets that came from his personal research he began to setup his own lab as a mad scientist until the fateful convention with Professor Red.
Skill Levels: Research 4 (6/11) | Operations 2 (2/7) | Espionage 0 | Combat 1
Starting Inventions: Dimensional Sensor (Basic)- his crown achievement to date, this allows him to start picking up on energy from other dimensions, which let him get far more data than normal scientists at the Collider (not sure what level this would be at but as he is looking long term to tap into other dimensions for power generation I figured the first thing he needed was a tool for detecting and monitoring. At this point more likely to pickup emissions from another dimension that have crossed into ours, also could be limited in the number of dimensions it works on at first).

Player: @DarkKing98
Name: Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz
Description: Heinz is a 47 year old mad scientist hailing from the country of Drusselstein. He is head of Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated. He wears a white lab coat and black shirt. He is always slouching and has a very angular face with brown messy hair and blue eyes.

Spoiler: Backstory

Backstory: Since the beginning of his life, Heinz never had a wonderful or even "normal" life. He had mentally abusive parents who never cared about him or even noted possible knowledge of his existence. When Doofenshmirtz was born, neither of his parents "bothered to show up". He celebrated every birthday after that alone, throwing himself surprise parties at places like Gunther Goat Cheese's. When he did have a birthday cake, it was always eaten by Doonkelberry Bats.

At one time he was actually disowned by his parents, forcing him to live with ocelots. Needing money, he got a job at a carnival as the ball you throw at the target at the dunk tank. At the same time, for a reason that Heinz did not want to relate, he emanated a smell of pork so strong that no one would come near him. So he drew a face on a balloon and named it "Balloony," spraying it with long-lasting spray.

Eventually, he returned to his normal family. His father was so poor that his beloved lawn gnome was repossessed. While other people were allowed to relax, he was forced to be the family's lawn gnome all day and night without being allowed to move in the slightest for any reason even to eat or sleep. At night his only companions were the moon, Balloony, and his neighbor Kenny. During one night, Balloony flew off, and Heinz could not retrieve him

In his father's heart, he was replaced by a spitzenhound named Only Son that his father won in a contest of "Poke the Goozim with a Stick". Even though Only Son was an award-winning dog that brought his father fame and fortune, and the family should have been able to buy back the lawn gnome, Heinz was still forced to be the lawn gnome. This appears to be the source of Doofenshmirtz's fragile self-esteem.

While his parents awaited their new baby, who they believed to be a girl, they knitted dozens of dresses for their new baby. But their baby was born a boy and was named Roger. Doofenshmirtz was forced to wear the old dresses due to lack of cloth, causing him to be constantly made fun of by his schoolmates, and on top of that, Roger was now favored by Heinz's mother for being a "goody-two shoes".

Roger as well was favored by his mother for his amazing abilities in kickball, a skill in which Heinz was sorely lacking in. Heinz felt even more shunned because of this. He tried to play several sports to impress his mother, but failed at all of them. In grade school, for example, he flunked jungle gym. Heinz was still not completely forgotten, however, it seemed like he was only ever acknowledged so he could be mentally abused more. His mother for example wouldn't let him into public pools, possibly stemming from Heinz's embarrassing failure to perform the high-dive as a rite of manhood.

He has been bullied throughout his life by Boris, starting when they were both in Drusselstein. Boris constantly kicked sand in Doofenshmritz's face even in the most unexpected places, so much so that even on days where Boris didn't, Doofenshmirtz still found no peace because he was always expecting Boris to show up.

He was also tormented by a local girl named Grulinda, who had a habit of dumping a bucket of water on Doofenshmirtz. Unknown to Heinz, this was rooted in Grulinda's feelings for him, so he assumed she was yet another bully and, similar to his relationship with Boris, held a grudge against her that lasted until adulthood.

Growing up, he tried his hand at magic. He got a gig, but hadn't quite perfected his act yet. When he tried to pull Bobo the Rabbit out of his hat, there was a skunk instead. He was quite upset about this and gave up magic until well into his adulthood. But at that point he actually found Bobo

Heinz entered in his first science fair with his first "Inator" (Doofenshmirtz wasn't very creative with names yet), a working laser cannon. He was about to win, but for some reason lost to a baking soda volcano. The next year, he made an "Even-Bigger-Inator" but lost again to a baking soda volcano

Throughout his youth, he was told he couldn't "make mountains out of molehills" even when the situation was serious, such as burning down his building, which led him to do so literally. He carried this on to his adulthood. He has also always had a high squeaky-sounding voice that he strongly dislikes even to this day

Doofenshmirtz's childhood did not put particular emphasis on Christmas as he says that he "didn't love Christmas but he didn't hate it either"

He once went to a camp and was attacked by bees. He received one sting and numerous injuries due to falling from a hill while running from said bees. The event also left a hydrant in his knee, which due to being to close to his arteries, cannot be surgically removed. This event would later make Heinz overprotective of his daughter when she camped with her friends as a teenager.

When he was around 15, he realized he was unable to grow facial hair and began to think people who grow out their facial hair only do so to make fun of him. Also at this age, he was a big face in the "Shadow Puppet" business, so good that he began dating and had a "Fräulein." But, a new boy in the village with huge hands named Huge-Hands Hansshowed up and, though his shadow puppets were garbage (literally), took his "Fräulein" away from him. This could be the cause of Heinz's fear of commitment and terror of dating girls, even into his adulthood

At around age 16, he went to America, due to his parents tricking him to go to the "Schtor", which turn out to be only a painting, leaving him on a boat to America.

In high school, he filmed himself in a very embarrassing moment: in his underwear and a cape, he skated through a room and into a toilet while saying "I am a superstar!" The recording later became a viral video across the Internet and became so well known that he couldn't walk outside his apartment room without being made into a laughing stock

After this before going into college he started to paint, but could never find a muse. One day he finally found one, and painted for three days straight, and made a "masterpiece" he than rushed off to show his brother, but Roger's food spilled onto his beloved masterpiece, sparking up a newer, more personal grudge against Roger than past grudges which were more parental

After losing in the science fairs, he wanted to devote his life to poetry competitions instead. One of his poems was:

The movies are gray.
The TV is black.
The horses are running.
Please bring me some food.

Curiously, he still somehow lost to a baking soda volcano, although it is seemingly impossible for a baking soda volcano to recite poetry that outclassed him; or rather, any poetry at all

As a young man, he started his own bratwurstcompany, Doofenshmirtz's Quality Bratwurst, during a time which he described as him being less evil than in his current occupation. He even sold the bratwurst personally as a bratwurst street vendor, but without much, if any, success. Despite having "superior workmanship, finer meats and exotic spices", street vendors that sold hot dogs did much better than bratwurst vendors. At the present time, almost no one (other than Heinz himself) remembers that street vendors once sold bratwursts. Heinz attributes this to hot dog vendors "having it all": chrome-plated carts, endorsement deals and fancy blimps. After two young boys walked by him while he was doing his job as a street vendor and made a joke about selling bratwursts being a telling sign that a person is lame, Heinz vowed that he would get revenge against the hot dog vendors.

In evil school, he was tormented by his Evil 101 teacher, Dr. Gevaarlijk, who flunked him out of evil school. To this day, Doofenshmirtz swears to get her to appreciate him for the evil he truly has. He also did a thesis based on an early ransom note of Dr. Lloyd Wexler

He dated Linda Flynn once before she became famous. She actually appears to be, at least in part, the reason why Doofenshmirtz is so focused on controlling and/or terrorizing only the Tri-State Area. At one point she discussed her desires to become a pop-star, but Doofenshmirtz, not believing she could do it replied sarcastically, "Yeah, right, and I'm going to rule the world". Linda replied thoughtfully that he could just start off small, like "with the Tri-State Area"

In "Doof 101", it is mentioned that he took classes at community collega with Principal Lang, who was in love with Charlene at that time. However, Charlene fell in love with Doofenshmirtz more, leaving Lang to develop a grudge against Doofenshmirtz that he refuse to abanadon, even when after Doof and Charlene divorced

Since meeting him while getting his photo taken, Doofenshmirtz's nemesis has been Agent P, or Perry the Platypus. Agent P never attempts to lock Doofenshmirtz up, and after every mission he leaves the doctor in the rubble and runs away.

His evil mentor was Professor Destructicon, also known as Kevin to his friends. Kevin's last request before being locked away was to have his protege set the sun on fire. Doofenshmirtz, in a rare moment of clarity, reasoned that the sun is a big ball of fire, so this wouldn't work. So Kevin asked him to just destroy the island hideout instead.

Player: @rolling-the-dice
Name: Professor Wheatley Dunwich
Description: Professor Dunwich is a tall, gaunt man with thinning dark hair and a short beard. He wears round glasses and has large, protruding, dark eyes. He is always seen wearing a brown suit and has a very formal manner. Many people find his gaze uncomfortable. He is in his late forties. He is somewhat twitchy.
Backstory: Professor Wheatley Dunwich, a New England native, is a biologist and archaeologist who claims to have found Lovecraftian beings in his hometown in New England. Although he has yet to find anything convincing anyone else of their existence, he fervently believes in the supernatural and the existence of magic. However, he has also always insisted on trying to find explanations for how the supernatural operates. Unfortunately, he has yet to make any breakthroughs, so he has yet to present any major inventions or discoveries to other mad scientists, although he has been careful to keep his fellow scientists updated. He is currently taking a break from his teaching work at university so he can focus more on his research. He has devoted his life to research; he has few friends, and is very distant from what little family he has. He often focuses on field research, but has a rather cautious approach to it.

Player: @Moronis
Name: Professor Rhombus Madison
Description: A cackling man with red hair, brown eyes, tanned skin, a patchwork labcoat in many colors absolutely covered in hastily scrawled equations, and a work smock that reads "Kiss me, I Do The Science Thing", Rhombus looks like a mad scientist who wandered into one too many art classes.
Backstory: Rhombus Madison started out as a normal man with a normal life as a boring office drone. He tinkered away in his garage like anyone with time to kill would. But then, one day, he made an incredible discovery involving an old computer, a dead rat, and a vial of blood. By combining them in a particular way he could create a biomechanical computer the likes of which few had ever seen. Soon he'd made his first truly mad scientist-esque invention... And the man never looked back.

Player: @Megaolix
Name: Doctor Will E. Coyote
Description: He's wearing a lab coat like any proper mad scientist should. His coat, however, is rather roughed up with the many accidents he got caught in. Other than that, he has a bit more muscle than the average mad scientist. Somehow, he still retain his brown hair, beard and body with nary a scratch nor scar despite enduring explosions, violent impacts and other things. While someone would want to investigate that oddity, he doesn't care about it himself so long as he can keep going.
Backstory: Mad scientist that is usually out in the wilderness to capture specific exotic animals in order to study and replicate specific traits. Sadly, he has yet to be successful, as his 'plots' tend to not only be too simple-minded or over-complicated, but also blow up in his faces. Despite setbacks, he show no sign of stopping.
Has a jealous grudge against Red, who sure didn't seem to have any issue.

Player: @Shadowhope
Name: Felicia Von Clawsenhauser
Description: A short frazzled looking woman with long tangled black hair flaring out from beneath an worn beanie with cute cat ear decorations!... at least until she takes the hat off, and it's revealed that they're just pockets for her cat ears to fit in.... and if you look closely beneath her purple long coat that is a black tail flicking back and forth. Two gold colored and most certainly feline eyes are hidden behind black cat eye shades.
When yawning it's clear to see that her teeth are sharp in places, and it looks like her tongue has bristles on it. Her limbs seem... off in places like they're bent in ways a human limb isn't supposed to be. Those nails look awfully sharp.... did they just retract?!
Backstory: She was always alone in regards to human company when she was young. Her parents left her to her own devices and the other kids said she was weird and freaky. That was fine. She had the stray cats in the neighborhood. Felicia loved cats. They didn't judge and minded their own business. Their company was so much better than most humans. She didn't like most humans.
Felicia loved cats. She wanted to be a cat. It sounded so much less stressful. She always visited the stray cat colony in the neighborhood. They always were there to welcome her. Until they weren't. Animal control took them away when she was 21. Animal control tried to euthanize MURDER her true family. But that's okay. They just had to be converted. If everyone was like cats then she would be able to get along with them. Felicia had always been an smart girl. Too smart perhaps. Her parents being accomplished scientists with labs at home certainly helped.
She'd been dreaming of a prototype and working on it as soon as she found a way to make it possible. The Felinationizer. It's funny what an little injection could do. She'd tested it on herself first of course. It hurt as her bones twisted and flesh rearranged itself. But that was fine. BeCaUsE eVeRy ThInG wAs So ClEaR nOw! They were jealous of her family! So jealous they wanted them for themselves! But that was fine, she would've done the same!
She's an understanding person, so instead of just taking her family back, she let them JoIn tHeM. They screamed out of fear happiness as their bodies twisted and warped! A few died fell asleep but that's fine. She had just made new minions friends now! She was so happy! She wanted to make more! The authorities weren't happy though. So she had to lay low for a while. She left her true family with her human family and went to this fun convention! She learned some fascinating things and met some more humans she could tolerate!
They could be her friends without being her friends! They were making a group and Felicia had to move out of her parent's house anyway soon. So she'd just bring her true family with her! She was going to have sO mUcH fUn!

The Felinationizer - It makes new minions friends! It doesn't work a lot though, and tends to kill put things to sleep more often than convert. When an thing converts it becomes mutated into an feline like monster with lowered mental capacity and an more simple line of thought. They all show loyalty to Felicia first and foremost though.
Unusual Stray Cat Colony- They don't do much. But Felicia seems to talk to them a lot and know things she shouldn't know. The cats are slightly more intelligent than usual, and serve as an rudimentary information network. They're small in population right now though, and still not very smart, so it's unlikely for anything of earth shattering importance to be known by them.
Cat Friends Minions- They're human in shape but with varying catlike mutations and levels of intelligence. She has nine right now. Felicia is willing to share with her new friends though! Just don't let them get hUrTalright? Bad things happen to people who hUrT her friends. So don't cause bad things to happen okay? Okay <3~!

Player: @Hazard
Name: Claudia Kant
Description: Short, cute, and generally inoffensive, one would sooner think that behind this black haired young woman's eyes hides nothing, not even brains. But Claudia has a sharper mind than many would credit her.
Backstory: New to the Mad Science thing, Claudia specializes in data handling. It's always been interesting to her how things connect to each other, and graphs, statistics and other methods of information organization. While this has made her observant and skilled at piercing deception, it's also gotten her in trouble. Some people would like certain secrets to staysecret, and her ability to ferret out things others would rather leave hidden has resulted in certain agencies interfering with her.
They made her a laughingstock, believing that ridicule would be a better way to keep her from causing trouble than death. That might have been ill advised, and she's joined with a group of other mad scientists for protection, shared resources and a chance to laugh at all of them when she has her revenge.

Backstory: Adopted by a ninja clan, Harlequin was rather infuriated to find out that said clan didn't have anything of a mystical nature behind it. So he turned his efforts to SCIENCE to fix that glaring hole in his ninja capabilities. His personal ability in combat somewhat decayed as a result, but his breakthroughs in Shadow Tech have positioned him for true Ninja Supremacy.

Description: A small and fluffy white-haired kitten with green eyes. Always wears a labcoat, an armored vest, and a pair of heavy goggles. Professor Whiskers, despite being an adorable kitten, always radiates an aura of insane presence. She is megalomaniacal, extravagant, and generally in your face. She has truly obscene manual dexterity for a kitten.
Backstory: There once were two mad scientists; Doctor Roberta von Zaufmeier, a Swiss geneticist with an obsession towards unlocking humanity's psionic potential; and Professor Edward H. Black, a Canadian particle physicist who sought the legendary (and destructive) Daemon Particle. The two briefly worked together in an experiment involving quantum radiation therapy, but their egos clashed, and they turned on each other. Doctor von Zaufmeier activated her prototypical Cerebral Flayer just as Professor Black fired his experimental Tachyonic Accelerator, and BOOM! The two mad scientists were no more. Their combined personalities, their very souls, were funneled into one of Doctor von Zaufmeier's test subjects, an adorable little kitten. Thus was born Professor Henrietta von Whiskers. Her goals? Find her place in the world, discover the limits of science and shred them to pieces, blow shit up, and CONQUER THE UNIVERSE!!! MWAHAHAHAHAAA!!!

Name: Jonathan Diptock
Description: An unassuming glasses wearing young man who dresses semi-casually. Doesn't usually wear a suit, but does wear trousers and a drab striped shirt. Tall, lanky, and apparently unfit, with black hair and a near constant minor slouch.
Backstory: The youngest son of the old and prestigious Diptock family, Jonathan comes from both the old English aristocracy and more modern corporate cash-making, as the Diptocks are both. He was exceedingly intelligent in his youth, and as such when he went to a prestigious school he was soon spirited away by mad scientists, eager to train his talent in a part of the academy they owned along with a few others. A man who prided himself solely on his intelligence, Jonathan was utterly crushed when he realized how unimpressive he truly was. He was actually on the low end of the spectrum, and this was despite intensive training for several years. This was the peak of his ability, whereas those who were as good as him had plenty of room to further refine their skills. Since then, he's entered an emotional slump, and is often remarked as very depressing to be around. He has since apologized to his (very confused) family for his failures and took a small amount of cash and left for South America to join a certain group of fellow mad scientists. He is mainly annoyed because as far as he's concerned he has no useful skills compared to everyone else, and is thus worthless. Yep, no skills at all. Definitely. That's what he tells everyone at least, including himself. He has taken a few self-defense lessons, mainly to get away from science studies where he was easily outclassed and embarrassed,

Player: @ConfusedPotato
Name: Master Viper Jaminson
Description: Master Viper Jaminson has the looks and appearance of a young 20 year old man of mixed Asian and European decent, but if one were to ask for his age one would find that he was actually born over 60 years ago, this is due to a side affect of his Angelfield invention as the earlier versions would take literal decades to bring someone back to life causing him to miss years of history due to being dead. He can usually be found in the labs wearing his favourite red lab coat with safety goggles in his midnight black hair and a spark of insanity in his eyes.
Backstory: If one were to ask Master Viper Jaminson for his history one would receive a blank stare and little to no information, while one would think that he didn't like talking about his past the truth is that he remembers very little about his past in the first place. When he first invented the L.E.A.R.N.E.R. module it deleted memories in order to make room for more knowledge. A flaw he fixed at first opportunity he has kept it as an optional function in case he wants to selectively forget something. Over the years he has sacrificed many things in order to feed his insatiable need for knowledge: memories, social skills and even his sanity. If you were to ask him if it was worth it, he would grin and say yes every time.

Spoiler: The Backstory of the Evil Dr. Eggman

Never one to get along well with others, The Evil Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik has a long held-prejudice against just about everyone who either isn't him or a robot, and with a special place in his heart for his hatred for all things "Nature" and "Outdoorsey". The exact reason for this is unknown, but theories are numerous, ranging from experiencing a really bad camping trip as a child, to simply growing up full of himself and knowing that it's far easier to reprogram a robots mind than it is a living beings, to a scientific accident and injury he experienced as a child that crossed his wires and made him Evil.
His genius allowed him to go to collage at a young age, and initially passed through legal higher learning institutes with just as much speed, until he made the mistake of thinking that just because he'd gone through graduation, he could get away with gloating about the fact that he'd cheated the entire way - not because he had to, but because he could. Despite being deprived of his above-board higher educational certification, his deeds easily earned him a place in an underground institute of Evil higher-learning, where he proceeded to graduate at the top of his class - or rather, as the only member of his class, having rigged the institutes internal computer systems to disqualify every other member of his class from graduating that year as a his actual Senior Doctoral Thesis Project (his supposed Senior Doctoral Thesis Project was on the theorization of a "Roboticizer" biomatter-to-cybermatter converter).
The Evil Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik currently spends his Evil Doctoral career furthering the cause of Evil! Science and plotting his takeover of the world for his "Eggman Empire" and the creation of his long-held dream, the construction of the Eggman Land Evil Robot Amusement Park ("MUAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!").

Player: @Genon
Name: Dr. Henry Navarre
Description: A younger "mad" scientist than many in the business, he's only about 24 years old. He's a black-haired Caucasian who looks like Hollywood's idea of a scientist (read: skinny and rather attractive, despite his glasses). The clothing he wears varies heavily based on the situation, much like many sane people. He doesn't have nearly as much of a limited wardrobe as some crazies who only wear lab coats.
Backstory: Henry Navarre's mother, Dr. Caroline Maximoff, was a mad scientist herself, looking into the biological nature of Sparkhood. Retaining just enough of a conscience to feel some regret over the many test subjects she had killed and the lives her fellow mad scientists ruined, she was determined to get the best of both worlds: A child with all the intelligence and creativity of a Spark, with none of the megalomania, recklessness, carelessness, narcissism, and amorality that came with it. Her experiments with genetic modification were successful, yielding a fetus growing in an artificial uterus (read: a clone vat), who she named Henry. However, she recognized almost immediately after Henry's "delivery" from the tube that she simply wasn't cut out for parenting a non-crazy child: Some of her insanity would almost certainly rub off on her son, contaminating his mind and effectively destroying her magnum opus.
So she, naturally, put him up for adoption. Henry was successfully adopted by a wealthy couple in Manhattan, which gave him the means to put his intellect to use, as he had no need to worry about anything else. Fueled by his modified Spark, he utterly annihilated his classes at school, and ended up graduating from MIT with four master's degrees (genetics, biology, robotics and computer science) and an MD in brain surgery-at the age of fourteen. His parents supplied him with his first laboratory, acting as a benefactor for his research. Specializing in human augmentation and robotics, he began to wonder, just what made him tick? At the time, he thought he couldn't possibly be a Spark, he was far too sane for that. There must have been something in his genetics that made him the way he was. Something new. Something revolutionary. So he sequenced his genome, and found something interesting: He had once read a paper detailing the genetic origins of Sparkhood, by one Dr. Maximoff. Cross-referencing the sequence from the paper with the sequence from his genetics, he found that the results were disturbingly similar, but there were a few alterations to the sequence here and there. He should have been a Spark. But he wasn't. Someone had tampered with his genetics, possibly before birth. He was a fucking science experiment, and Caroline Maximoff was his only lead on finding out who did this to him. He needed to know the truth. But Caroline was a flimsy lead at best: She just happened to publish the paper, that wasn't proof that they were related. Calling his parents, he told them the situation and asked if they knew anything. That was when they dropped the bombshell: He was adopted, and the adoption office had listed one "Caroline Maximoff" as the donor.
So he tracked down Caroline, met his batshit-crazy bio-mom for the first time, and got brought up to speed on Spark society. He was disgusted by what he learned. So many productive, intelligent, hardworking people, sidetracked by childish goals of world domination, consumed by their own egotism to such a degree that they could think of nothing but themselves. Still, for better or worse, he was close enough to a Spark that it was splitting hairs, so he tried to integrate with the Spark community as best he could. He ended up joining the group of mental patients in white coats over in Buenos Aires, not because he shared their goal of taking over the world, but rather because he'd rather no-one took it over, and stopping all the other actors first would benefit his goals.

Though he did study some medicine/chemistry, agriculture in order to know how nanomachines can improve it, and engineering to see if it is possible to use nanotechnology to create structures and tools. He came from a semi-strict family who were in the poorer areas where most of the population just tried to live to see tomorrow, by any means necessary. Thus it became a family tradition, wherever you go you must carry a weapon in order to protect yourself, his other brother and sisters thought this tradition was barbaric and not necessary in this day and age, they were wrong. Ferns' parents put him through school in order for him to become something in life, he as of now has a small business called Future Tech, the other name it goes in the criminal underworld is Veni, vidi, vici.

Description:

Spoiler: Elise

Backstory: A college grad that was snapped up by the MAD community, after finding out about the fact she created and let loose an unstable A.I. on a her professor. An A.I. that destroyed a professors life's work that he stole from his students, it was a smart toaster that never burn toast, no matter what type of bread. That was the type of person the MAD community needed, the type of person who would destroy those that would crib their notes without giving credit or at least not be so obvious about it. She also impressed them by destroying the large toaster robot he sent after her in revenge with a giant wrench (their big nerds), then berated him on his shoddy workmanship, then hit him with the wrench. This unfortunately meant that she had to create the a her S.E.P. in desperation just to go out and to take things from the junkyard(screw paying). Also she has a need to wear costumes during missions out side.

Player: @LuciDreamer
Name: Katyusha Pravdu
Description: Katyusha, who is very, very short and likes to leverage this information whenever she can, thus fosters her appearance to make herself seem as childish and innocent as possible. She wears her chestnut-colored hair short and likes to attach a tiny red bow to the side of her head to sell her youngevity. Her eyes are also a sharp but bright shade of blue. All of this is in sharp contrast, however, to the crisp military uniform and ushanka (optional) she insists to wear in public. To the public eye, she appears to be nothing but a young cosplayer - eccentric, perhaps, but harmless. She is perfectly fine with this.
Backstory: Katyusha actually is not of Russian descent, as her name would imply. She is, in fact, American. Her name and image are mostly tailored after a semi-famous secondary character from a niche 21st century anime about tanks and schoolgirls. Despite being a newcomer to the mad scientist's scene, she is known for being an extremely talented organizer and charismatic figure, well-versed in the art of administration, stewardship, finance and human resources. It is said that a large number of recent (and short-lived) communist revolutions in schools and universities across the world (supposedly those that rejected her due to her megalomanic antics and supposed youth) were orchestrated by her just to satisfy her boredom and hone her skills. She also has a finger in a number of global corporations that deal in arms manufacturing, vehicle assembly, robotics, and... anime production. Strangely.
In the scientific field, Katyusha's feats are, however, less than impressive. She has a particular fascination with artificial intelligence as well as medical analysis, and her developments in those fields are indeed leagues above conventional technology, but in the face of other mad scientists of far greater caliber her inventions fall short.
Plays the Soviet march "Katyusha" while she works, and is uncharacteristically obsessed with the Russian T-34.

Description: A bald, heavily obese man in a pair of sweat pants and a comfy sweater. He wears a massive red lab coat with white lining. He wears a simple red cap, sturdy working gloves and boots.
Has a joyful and goofy personality and is rather lazy, only working in short bursts of inspiration. He has a strong temper on him and deliver a 'Clobbahring'.
Backstory: Dedede was always a dreamer. In his youth a kept a journal filled goofy creatures from his dreams. His youth was spend mostly my either lazing or getting in a fight with the other kids over his size, often winning my crushing them under his weight. After graduating with a degree in biology and robotics, Dedede joined a project intend on creating a machine that could recreate extinct animal. Here Dedede was often criticized on his laziness, especially since he made great breakthroughs when he got off his ass.
This continued until Dedede finished the general organic construction machine (G.O.C.M.) and-in a fit of whimsy-created one of the creatures he imagined in his youth. Soon the machine created a functional, sapient, living breathing waddle dee. At the same time, all the comments about his size and laziness compounded into a wil too take over the world and turn it in his dreamland. Where people can happily laze off in green lush grasslands where was KING. Dedede produced a total of 5 waddle dee's after which he stole the G.O.C.M. and some funds to start his career in mad science. He overslept on the mad science conferance but soon caught wind of MAD. Sufficiently intrigued, he collected his minions and minion maker and left for the MAD base.
Skill Levels: Research 2 (2/7) | Operations 3 | Espionage 0 | Combat 2
Statuses: R.I.P. (died in Week 4)
Starting Inventions:
Waddle dee - Dr.DeDeDe's first successful creation, these creatures posses above human strength and reach to an average humans knees. They posses simple whimsical personalities and a rather naive, making it so there easily tricked or recruited. They are extremely loyal and never betray those they are loyal to. There simple minds are perfect for learning making them able to do any job as long as they have enough training before hand.
G.O.C.M. or the Minion Making Machine (M3) - This machine can create organic or semi organic creatures based on a given template and inserted resources. It can create any template without isue aslong the resources are in place. However, this machine biggest downside is that it has a limit to how complex it can make the creatures, it cannot recreate humans for exemple.

Player: @Painfulldarksoul
Name: Ophelia Moor
Description: A girl of European descend, around 1,10m(3,6feet) tall and with brunette hair. She is usually seen wearing some kind of skirt and mundane t-shirt, the hair in a long braid. Her green eyes hide behind a pair of big glasses, making her look like she'll be class president, once she enters high school. Nothing suggests that she already lives on her own.
Backstory: She was always smart. She noticed early on, that her parents didn't care much for her, both striving to further their careers. Her teachers praised her and called her a genius, a child protégé. Between the encouragement and the lack of anything at home to return to, she soared trough her classes. Befor she noticed, she had everything she would need, to begin a career as a psychologist, once she had grown up. But she had already enough years of waiting alone at home, so she tried to get her independence and failed.
Wasn't she a genius? Shouldn't this be an easy task for her? Why was this so hard?
She doubled up her efforts again and again, barely sleeping or eating, but still the progress was minimal. Being a genius wasn't apparantly enough, to get trough the chaos that is law. Her way of thinking wasn't right to unravel law, as it would the mind of another person. She needed another way to think.
The insane! Of course! How could she forget!?
Some people had an imense intellect, despite or maybe because of their lack of sanity. ...
Next time she was master of herself, she realised that these last thoughts, were already the musings of a mad mind. But what she had now was even more so. Her mad plan had worked!
Her parents meanwhile had come to their own senses, trying to make good for their now lunatic of a doughter, but completely incapable of doing so. With her new mind she could at last reconnect with her parents, but now a few years later she did get her emancipation and move out.
They still talk per phone and they think it's not a good idea for her to do this, but she has a new calling in life and there is no stopping her! SHE WILL DO THIS FOR MAD SCIENCE AND WORLD DOMINATION!
Skill Levels: Research 3 (2/9) | Operations 1 | Espionage 3 | Combat 0
Starting Inventions:
M.M.A.M. Mind modification and manipulation. Mmam!
Trough therapy, brainwashing techniques and self analyse, someone can change their mind to increadible degree. Extensive knowledge of to modify person, wast knowledge in psychology and years of time is required, for any and all change.
R.E.L.A.X. Ruthless efficiency logic algorythmus X ... The X is only to make it so it's an actual word.
With far less analysis, brainwashing and therapy, you can still get impressive results. But preferably on other people. Sociopathy, psychotic behavior, paranoia and many other usefull psychosis can be caused in minions, to make them less dumb and more usefull.
I.M.P. Internal mind preservator. It's not a condom for the first head! Stop laughing!
Trough splitting a mind partwise and making the splitted part still connect, you make the person neurotic and sometimes change between the thought processes of both minds. This one will kling to the original like a yandere girlfriend and being still a part of it, can actually feel when something is trying to change it and get really jealous, protective and angry about it. I wonder why that one telepath died?

Amon Hen: Fits in your pocket and can decrypt all messages in seconds. Also provides secure communications. Provides +35% to any situation involving communications.

Fetch Bot: +15% for Operations or Research actions.

Multi-Wave Detector: +10% to any action where detecting any type of wave is necessary.

Anomaly Storage Unit: A container lined with special suppression emitters, which should be able to contain low-level artifacts without issue.
