Tinker Quest (Current Character: Ajax Washington)

[X] What is your Focus? (This is your main creature; you can create other minor ones, but this is what the vast majority of your efforts will revolve around.)
-[X] A lizard: Can crawl up a wall, has thick scales, and could possibly be made into a dragon one day. There is something to be said about the ability to have your own dragon or just a creature that can ignore small-arms fire.

Considering the extreme preponderance of thugs with guns in the area, being bulletproof would be a fantastic help. There's also the whole chameleon thing for camouflage and infiltration.

I think you need to include the [X] What is your Focus? (This is your main creature; you can create other minor ones, but this is what the vast majority of your efforts will revolve around.) line for the vote count to work properly.
 
[X] What is your Focus? (This is your main creature; you can create other minor ones, but this is what the vast majority of your efforts will revolve around.)
-[X] A person: It resembles a person, and that has all the upsides and downsides you think it would. It can handle tools, is somewhat smart, and could even fake being a cape, but a handful of people will be really scared of what it represents.

-[X] An octopus: smart, sneaky and versatile, you could even use the bay to transport itself and hide it.

-[X] A queen ant

[X] Who are you?
-[X] Ajax Washington
-[X] Male
-[X] young, dark-skinned and with a military buzz cut that's starting to grow out a bit, Ajax has a large, solid build that probably could've made him a linebacker if he'd trained for it. As it stands, he looks like the kind of guy who could put a man on his ass in a fight.

Witherbrine26 Just out of curiosity, if we really wanted to become Dr. Frankenstein, what set of features and specializations would we need to choose?

Hey I have a proposition, why not go for an octopus? Smart, able to handle tools after training, sneaky, use camouflage (possible shapeshifting ), ink projection (possible other liquids ), an octopus is a versatile minion.

They are also very playful, curious and have a good memory.

So since everyone seems to be ok with Ajax, I'm guessing we're probably gonna be hunting some E88 dogfighting rings, both because fuck the nazis and that's a perfectly good space of biomass.

I mean your current set up is already very good at that. Really you'd just want some time and maybe work with a handful of lightning based capes to figure out that method of generating power and you'd be golden.

I don't mean working with electricity, but stitching together dead bodies to assemble a terrifying chimera that has the properties of those from whom we assembled them.

Now, hear me out- Sure we can go other angles, but I've recently re-read Dragon Riders of Pern and thought of Fire Lizards. Smoll dragons the size of your arm are adorable!... Also, why the hell are we a biotinker in BB? Pigot is going to murder us, straight up get healing and step out of retirement as Lady :V

Oh, in that case you'd want to be Bonesaw. I mean that is pretty much one of her major gimmicks. So Hyperspecialist and Resource would likely be the picks.

Eugh, the less we get on that lil psycho's radar the better, we'll already have problems with both Piggot and potentially New Wave if Amy freaks the hell out about us.

-[X] Something else: An ape. Hands like a human, but can't easily pass for one, greater strength and less intelligence than a human, probably less likely to cause bad reactions.

We coulda been building a monolith, out in the hills, fresh air and calmer locals, no slumlord, no Fugly Bob's min-wage job.

Welp, we get what we vote for.

You say that, but we could probably use the Fugly Bob's job as an excellent source of resources. Who knows what's in those burgers they serve? We could have Horse, Rabbit, or Badger DNA before the week is out!

Fugly Bob's, if you don't have insect DNA in your burger, you get a discount!

True, true, that is an excellent point. Plenty of protein there. Might have to do a bit of dumpster diving after any expired product, but with $500 in the bank we really can't be choosy.

Honestly once we move onto later stages of Tinkering it'd be an interesting idea for our focal creature to switch over to some kind of mycelial network that we feed to grow across the city. Granted that might be the case had we did Architectural and Biotinkering but something like that for say our lair would be great.

You see my friend that's the beauty of it if we immediately go to the PRT and we tell them that we want to be an independent hero they're not going to have a choice, they might not trust us at first but they're not going to be able to legally do anything besides keep an eye on us because we haven't done anything wrong therefore the best thing we can do for ourselves right now is help others in order to prevent piggy from having a reason to immediately come after us
