The Doctor

A player character in the PbP game Servos, Saviors, and Scorched Earth.

He looks a lot like a skeletally gaunt Doctor Doom in matte black armor, with a small red cross on his chest, and a somewhat tattered gray cloak that he wears because it looks dramatic... and because being clothed makes him feel more human. Kinda acts like Doom, too. He remembers little of his life before the change (there was some sort of small pet; ice hockey on TV; his brother's trashed car; a family? maybe?) and reveals even less. What matters is here, now.

Apparently designed for the retrieval and re-integration of malfunctioning cyber-organisms, the Doctor's main abilities are two-fold. First, a complex array of powerful sensors and co-processors allows him to perform the extremely delicate operations necessary in the neurological maintenance of cyborg units. The array also gives him remarkable powers of observation and tactical analysis, the better to track down and subdue rogue cyborgs. Second, two networks of microgenerators built into his arms can project arcs of electricity at targets up to about two meters distant; the current can be fine-tuned at will to disable a target without lasting damage.

However, his powers are no longer put to their intended use. Having awakened in the middle of grafting a new brain into its box, he took the whole thing very personally. Someone had taken him and turned him into a tool, an instrument of violation and oppression against his own kin and species. He was used. This was done to his whole world.

The initial shock was quickly replaced by anger, cold and implacable, and a driving determination to Put Things Right, no matter what.

This cannot be allowed to stand. They who have done this to our world will pay.
