@PurposefulZephyr and @trekbook instead of creating a new digital assitant for researching should we instead upgrade the research capabilites of the net navi blueprint?

@I just write, I have a character submission.
Player: D.D. Spectator
Name: Professor Rayde E. Oaktiffe
Description: A man only seen wearing an advanced HAZMAT suit of his own design. No one still alive knows what his face looks like. Picture here
Backstory: The one and only creator of the Rad Gun, Professor Rayde E. Oaktiffe attempted to sell his invention to the military. Sadly, he was met with multiple complaints, such as how it was prone to friendly fire ("It's not my fault if you get radiation sickness cause you weren't wearing a HAZMAT suit."), the instability ("I've used to get rid of pests in my home an innumerable amount of time, yet it's only blown up on me once or twice."), and the inhumanity of the weapon ("Like the victims care. They're dead."). Left with no other method for financing his research, he's decided to turn to mad science.
Skill Levels: Research 3 | Operations 0 | Espionage 0 | Combat 4
Starting Inventions:
The Rad Gun: A weapon styled after a flamethrower, it can instead shoot beams of radiation from it's nozzle.
Super HAZMAT Suit: A suit for protecting the wearer from high doses of radiation while remaining combat applicable.

Character Submission: The Evil Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik (Space Jawa)
This thing has only been going since Sunday, and you're already at 22 pages?
I'm impressed.
Player: Space Jawa
Name: The Evil Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik (More commonly, just "Dr. Eggman" for short)
Description: A mad genius with a certifiable doctorate in EVIL! Science. Has an obsession with robotics and the superiority of machine over man, especially the fact that machines complain a lot less when you boss them around or do things to them that they were never intended for. Highly arrogant, vengeful, and self-concious; takes particular pride in his "glorious" mustache. Not very fond of wildlife, but has an especially irrational hatred for hedgehogs for some unknown reason. Especially blue ones.
Backstory:
Skill Levels:
*Research: 3
*Operations: 2
*Espionage: 1
*Combat: 1
Starting Inventions:
*Motobug - Dr. Eggman's first true robot breakthrough, this design is currently his pride and joy when it comes to robotics despite their simplicity. Capable of functioning in either a basic combat or utility role.
*Repulsorlift Flight Technology - Also known as "Anti-Gravity", a simple propulsion system that allows for advanced heavier-than-air flight without the need for louder, more dangerous, and passe technologies like "Propellers" and "Rockets".
*Eggmobile - Built off the back of Dr. Eggman's Repulsorlift technology, a simple flight pod that allows for simple transportation and multiple utility options through its widely modifiable design.
I'm impressed.

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!").

Hey everyone, I'm liking the cut of this quest's jib, so I stopped lurking for it. I'm not spotting an Espionage specialist on the roster yet, so let's throw some Social into this Engineering.
Pinging @I just write
Player: OneArmedYeti
Name: Blank
Description: A plain black suit, a bored white face, everything about him screams "mid-level bureaucrat".
Backstory: In his previous life, John was a software engineer at a accounting firm. He was regularly frustrated by people being promoted out of jobs they were alright at into positions they were terrible at. All too often, competence or character were overlooked in the face of social interactions that had nothing to do with accounting. It was code, all of it, a code devised to make sure that the "right sort" of people were put into the corner offices, and the wrong sort stayed in their little cube farms. John knew code however, and in flash of insight he saw it. The algorithm that would tell them what they wanted to hear. The class he could call to make himself "Blank"
Skill Levels: Research 2, Operations 0, Espionage 5, Combat 0.
Starting Inventions:
The Infiltration Engine[T.I.E]: A sophisticated series of sensors and processors distributed through a bland business suit, the Engine functions by reading the body language and statements of people the wearer has engaged in conversation and processing them through a memetics and social norm database to adjust the wearer's body language and speech(Through directed microphone's in the necktie that take some practice to go along with) in real time according to conversation goals set by the user to come out on top of any social interaction. Well that time in the bank vault didn't go so well, but that was the Mark .9
And now for the vote.

Character Submission: Dr. Henry Navarre (Genon)

@I just write
So I got my sheet up. What do you think?
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 modified 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.
Skill Levels: You have seven skill levels to distribute between Research, Operations, Espionage, and Combat. At least two levels in Research is mandatory.
Research 3, Operations 2, Espionage 1, Combat 1
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.
--> Neurocomputer: A chip wired to Henry's cerebrum, enabling him to navigate his brain like a computer's file system. He can access memories freely, examining the entire contents of his brain. He never loses track of stored information this way, and so he never has to take notes! Still, he does so anyway. It doesn't hurt to be meticulous, after all. He can also do things like manipulate his emotions, instantly starttripping balls lucid dreaming on command, temporarily increase blood flow to any part of his brain for increased intelligence in a specific area, and other neat things. Effect: Permanent +1 to Research. Improved versions give increased bonuses. Can be loaded with different knowledge files to improve stats other than research, but these must be invented first.
--> Temporary Gene-Mod: When injected, the user gains a set of predefined, temporary genetic alterations that radically alter their physiology for the duration of a single action. Different TGMs give different results, each one configured for a single mutation.
--> Power Armor: Exactly what it sounds like. Can be upgraded.

Hmm does @DarkKing98 vote valid? Also all 5 intern taken by @jaiveer00 , and all spider bot is busy. Though there are still fetchbots for other to use.
Hmm, I think the number of action is decreased? Coordination!
