I just had to do this one as soon as I saw the thread. The star-fire mentioned in Item Creation is of course plasma thrown by his Death Ray; I love how little I had to make up for that skill. List is longer for Item Creation than usual due to the fact that that is his specialty. Spark of Genius is, of course, derived in large part from the webcomic Girl Genius, which is only fair what with the "the very idea of Mad Science comes from Tesla" thing. Yes, I know Alternating Current should historically go to Westinghouse, not Tesla, but it is Tesla for whom it is legend; effective rank for phantasm varies depending on how much electricity he's got at the moment. I apologize for unscientificness of it, but when you're dealing with the magic heroic spirit of a guy with a death ray, I don't think scientific accuracy is going to be likely.
Class: Caster
True Name: Nikola Tesla
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Parameters
Strength: E
Stamina: D
Agility: D
Mana: B
Luck: D
Class Skills
Item Construction (A++): Able to construct devices to throw star-fire, devices to create earthquakes on command, devices to generate shields of pure energy, devices to mimic the "Clairvoyance" and "Presence Detection" skills by using controlled imperceptibly small earthquakes to "see" everything in a 3-km radius, and cameras to capture static visual representations of what a target is thinking.
Territory Creation (B): Able to create a "workshop".
Personal Skills
Mental Pollution (C-): Servant Caster suffered from severe neuroses in life, to the extent that he formed the basis for a worldwide stereotype of "the insane but brilliant scientist" for more than a century after his death.
Pioneer of the Stars (D): One who made significant contributions to the ushering in of a new age of humanity, in which "technology" replaced "magic" and "gods" as the general conception of the human peak and solution to problems. Receives a severe penalty for not having been alone in the creation of this new age and for lack of recognition for such.
Spark of Genius (B+): A special quality inherent to the soul, acting as an intermittently active equivalent rank in Charisma and Revelation, while granting the ability to create objects which bend, though not technically break, the laws of Gaia.
Noble Phantasms
Alternating Current - The War of Light
Type: Anti-Army/Support
Rank: E~B++
The crystallization of Tesla's victory in the war of Alternating Current vs. Direct Current, and the success of the spread thereof. Tesla can absorb, store, and wield without any personal harm any quantity of electricity of alternating current from any source around him. This stored current can be used to throw electricity for attacking and electrocution purposes, used to enhance and temporarily increase the rank of personal parameters via an effect similar to Prana Burst, or converted to prana for personal use and back again as needed; in absence of external sources, Tesla's own prana can be converted to electricity for such uses in absence of external sources, although this leads to prana exhaustion rapidly.
