GENERAL INFORMATION
NAME: Crypto
ALIASES: C. Star
AGE: Mid 20s
GENDER: Masculine
MINION TYPE: Guardian
SPECIES: Android
>> OVERDRIVE: Increase KP gain by 1 for 1 turn. The next turn you would regain KP normally, you don’t.
>> ENDLESS ENERGY CORE: Once per thread, you can damage yourself to regain momentum. Every 1 point of Momentum gained deals 10% damage. You cannot spend MP until you have finished gaining MP through this trait.
>> LOCKED & LOADED: You may use one 20% offensive attack technique and one 20% defensive barrier technique for free, once per thread each. These cannot have their power boosted in any way.
GENERAL TRAITS -
>> VAMPIRIC: Once per thread, you may designate a Standard Attack as ‘Vampiric.’ If this attack deals any damage, you may recover 1 KP from its use. If it was free or you recover the KP in another manner, this has no effect.
>> ANTISENSE: Your ki is invisible to energy sensing and scouters, even in the midst of combat - this can be toggled on and off. In addition, escape techniques have a boost of +20% to their total effectiveness and your first escape technique per thread costs no KP.
CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
APPEARANCE: Even in a world full of people turning into apes and sentient killing machines, Crypto has a rather peculiar appearance. His head resembles a rectangular box-type television complete with tuning antenna but minus any sort of knobs or buttons. The screen is usually black and projects two oval 'eyes' and a bright smile, though it can display a wide array of things ranging from specific pictures to actual TV channels within range. The Android's body is also rather blocky in nature, though the exact shape is obscured by the oversized black suit and white dress shirt he dons, accompanied by a comically large red bow-tie. His head and limbs are all (relatively speaking) thin and highly flexible metallic extensions with ring connections (similar to a detachable kitchen faucet cord). Thick white cartoony gloves cover Crypto's hands entirely, which somehow have a full range of movement while slightly oversized laceless shoes cover his 'feet'.
BACKGROUND: Crypto, or as he is better known the public, "C. Star" is a magically infused robot of unknown* origin that acts as the sole head and spokesperson of 'Star Co.'. An Earth-based enterprise with minor reach in other quadrants of the galaxy, Star Co. is an ultra-successful and lucrative venture that focuses on providing a large array of 'as seen on TV' products that ACTUALLY work. Crypto's sole job and interest in running the company and advertising comes down to the pursuit of profit. Pure, unadulterated, profit. While maintaining a squeaky clean (if not sleazy) reputation to the public, Star Co. under the guidance of Crypto has performed a wide variety of legally and morally questionable acts in order to cut down on competition and ensure a never-ending expansion of growth.
Of course, it wouldn't take terribly long for the now-President Derrick Ottoy to pull some strings. Using criminal contacts and his new position, the crime lord was able to gain a discreet but very lucrative deal with Crypto and Star Co. as a whole. While no public relation exists, Derry and the Dirty Snakes received a percentage chunk of the profits while Star Co. in return conveniently has competition nulled or diminished, alongside some nice tax reductions for 'charitable work'.
Still wishing to take matters into his own hands sometimes, Crypto was granted custodianship of the newly minted assassin 'Pursuer' as a gifted asset. While powerful, the Android could not at all risk the wider public finding out about his own strength - or even worse, connecting him to actual crime! With the power of some enhanced cosmetics, Crypto 'adopted' Pursuer as his new 'son' under the name of Gray Star. He has the bio-weapon act as a normal teenager would for publicity's sake, though also to gather field data to better sell products... and of course, run 'jobs' when the situation would call for it.
COMBAT INFORMATION
TECHNIQUES: You start with Three Standard Technique Slots and One Sparking Slot that you can use any way you like. Some species start out with an slots. You also start with two additional Utility Technique Slots.

Magic Materialization
Crypto is a purpose-built arcane artifact and is thusly embued with a magical core of his own. This, along with other things, allows him to make use of the common ability to materialize physical items from pure mana.
Energy Sensing
Crypto is outfitted with an advanced mechanical sensor, capable of distinguishing unique signatures akin to regular sensing and unlike scouter devices. This allows him to sense the general power and location of those around him.
