K500
"Because war shouldn't break the bank." Machine Mercenary • Mechanical Maestro • High-risk Enterpreneur |
K500 is the prototype of the K5 line, an advancement on the model K414, assembled and conditioned to keep to his professional engagements and not meander into such frou-frou questions as "Are these memories mine?" or "Should life have a price?". To this end, his life story is that of the weakling bastard son of a Saiyan duke, enhanced with technology by his tuffle mother, then sent off by her to build a fearsome reputation as the Galaxy's premier mercenary. Or spy. Or outlaw. The line has blurred in recent times.

>ATTACK TECHNIQUESLight Attack || Electric Whip || TECH SLOT #Free-1Lightning arcs down K5's fingertips, wrapping around the target.Power: 40%KP Cost: 2 KPVariants: N/ALight Attack || Laser Disc || TECH SLOT 10K PLSolid light coalesces on K5's hand as a discus the size of his palm. The small hole in its middle controls airflow!Power: 20%KP Cost: 1 KPVariants: N/AMedium Attack || Inflammatory Remark || TECH SLOT #Free-2In place of a voice modulator, K5 was retrofitted with a gene-engineered flamethrower. This particular weapon is in breach of most of the Galactic Convention, but K5's legal personhood forbids the Galactic Patrol from seizing this core organ of him. Sucks to suck, suckers!Power: 50%KP Cost: 4 KPVariants: BleedMedium Attack || Laser Disc HD || TECH SLOT 20K PLK5 throws discs faster that the eye can see! The HD stands for Hard Driver.Power: 70%KP Cost: 4 KPVariants: N/AHeavy Attack || The Marksman's Number || TECH SLOT 50K PLK5 calculated the last digit of Pi. He uses it to fire perfect shots. No, he will not tell you how.Power: 100%KP Cost: 6 KPVariants: N/A>DEFENSE TECHNIQUESLight Defense || E.Y.D. || TECH SLOT #Free-3Arcane algorithms predict the trajectory of an attack, allowing K5 to dodge out of the way.Power: 60%KP Cost: 2 KPVariants: EvasiveMedium Defense || Energy Reroute || TECH SLOT 30K PLScrambling the energy flow of an oncoming attack through magnetic-psychic means, K5 is able to reduce its harm or dissipate it entirely. Unless he's completely overwhelmed.Power: 50%KP Cost: 4 KPVariants: ShieldMedium Defense || AT Field || TECH SLOT 40K PLK5 codes a barrier around himself. It appears translucent until hit, revealing an egg-shape all made up of octagons. It glows a stronger orange as it is weakens.Power: 50%KP Cost: 4 KPVariants: SustainedLight Defense || Block || TECH SLOT 60K PLA quick telekinetic salvo blocks the path of an incoming attack. Usually with debris. Or people. (NPCs only, requires player consent)Power: 40%KP Cost: 2 KPVariants:N/AMedium Defense || VIP Protection Formation || TECH SLOT 80K PL
When a target really needs to be kept alive, hardlight barriers and psionic throttling go a long way.
Power: 50%
KP Cost: 4 KP
Variants: Distance>SUPPORT TECHNIQUESSupport || Hi-Gear(TM) || TECH SLOT 70K PL'You may opt to increase overall efficiency by 10% through Hi-Gear(TM). This will drain charge at a cost of 1 SU of Energy per maneuver and prevent use of evasion, retreat, and chase maneuvers. You will be unable to regain charge with Hi-Gear(TM) activated. If you run out of charge while using Hi-Gear(TM), you energy recuperation process activates and you cannot invest additional charge on baseline maneuvers. You may only deactivate Hi-Gear(TM) safely after a SU of Time has elapsed. You will still lose charge for the SU of Time you turned it off on.'>SPARKING TECHNIQUES
Sparking Heavy Attack || Three Steps Ahead || TECH SLOT #SPARKING-1Through psychic foresight, battlefield manipulation, and a careful overloading of his destron core, K5 arranges the perfect conditions to combo The Markman's Number, AT Field, and E.Y.D. in quick succession. The very precise timing and high energy cost make this technique a rare sight.Power: 90%KP Cost: 6 KPVariants: Stasis, Back-up Plan, Counter>UTILITY TECHNIQUESUtility Technique || Psychokinesis || TECH SLOT #Utility-1K5 can move objects and people (w/ player consent) with his mind.Utility Technique || E.Y.E.|| TECH SLOT #Utility-2Complex algorithms deduce the power of individuals and phenomena, allowing for K5 to operate accordingly. Reflavored Ki sense.Utility Technique || Flight|| TECH SLOT #Utility-3Zero-G pulse stabilizers and ion propulsion drives in K5's heels allow him to take battle to the skies! Or just fly around.Utility Technique || Your Code Is Mine!|| TECH SLOT #Utility-4K5 can hack machines, controlling them (w/ player permission).Utility Technique || Psinet || TECH SLOT #Utility-5Allows use of telepathic communication between nearby or familiar characters on the same planet as yourself, letting K5 and his friends(?) always converse internally. This technique is passive and does not require KP.Utility Technique || Psinet UC || TECH SLOT #Utility-6Allows use of telepathic communication between nearby or familiar characters on the same dimension as yourself, letting K5 and his friends(?) always converse internally. An upgraded form of Psinet. UC stands for Universal Chatroom.Utility Technique ||404K|| TECH SLOT #Utility-7An alter ego created to take up contracts that wouldn't be available to a saiyan cyborg, the mercenary known as 404K is supposedly from a race of automatons with organic properties, as well as the scion of a disgraced East Galaxy noble house. His backstory has grown massively (and wildly) from there, without need for K4's active input. As he suspects, 4K is becoming a self-aware AI, and too strong for anti-viruses. Deprecated.Utility Technique || Gray Goo || TECH SLOT #Utility-8K5's gray goo, adapted from Cheri's programmable matter, trades stability for self-replication. It doesn't take shape well, or last long — its main use is tearing through surfaces quickly. K5 coded it to do no harm to organic and artificial beings, because he is not a monster.Utility Technique || Big Brother Protocol || TECH SLOT #Utility-9K5 can access and manipulate the internet, view and alter information on it. Because of this, he can compile precise and accurate profiles on people (w/ player consent).Utility Technique || OOC || TECH SLOT #Utility-10K5 invented the OOC, a capsule model that can transport living matter without jumbling it, to make some money. He supposes it could also come in handy someday.Utility Technique || K500 || TECH SLOT #Utility-11K4 is dead, long live K5! Cloned and assembled after his predecessor's likely demise, K500 was implanted with memories of being the firstborn of a true-blue saiyan duke. Along with a simpler but as-scarring lifepath, the K5 line's revolutionary programming is better at ignoring contradictions than any before!Utility Technique || Incognito || TECH SLOT #Utility-12Modular parts and clever disguises allow K5 to take the appearance of a given fleshy or machine. Player permission must be given for K5 to disguise as their character. The ki-sensing may notice the disguisee's energy signature feels cold and sterile.Utility Technique || Throttle || TECH SLOT #Utility-13When his regular power settings don't suit the situation, K5 can 'throttle' his energy core and reduce his baseline power level.Utility Technique || Gun Kata Fighting Style || TECH SLOT #Utility-14Geometry and statistic are seen by Gun Kata practitioners as better combat tools than ki and muscle. They prefer handguns over actual hands, short and long distances over a medium range, and keeping on one's toes instead of falling into readable stances. For obvious reasons, Gun Kata is quite rare in tournaments.

K5 came online on Namek, in an event that would upset a lot of people.
