CLOCKWORK

M&M2e Stats

PL: 8 (122 pp)

Personality

Every group has one: the hothead. On the surface he is arrogant and overconfident. Clockwork is man of impressive skill, daring split second action without much thought. He also has his temperamental side, leaving him irritable and unpredictable in some situations. At his core he is good. It is this caring that is his real motivation and why he became a doctor in the first place.

Physical Appearance

At barely over five feet tall, Clockwork is a short fellow with black hair and brown eyes. The good doctor does not look like others in his profession. With working man's hands, he looks more like an auto-mechanic. Broken more than once, his nose is wide and his dark skin bears many faint scars. He often stands arms crossed and lips pursed as if he is disapproving of something.

Battle Tactics

"Tactics? What's that?" Much to others dismay Clockwork has not learned the value of teamwork yet. His style is to leap right in and overwhelm his opponents. Does this always work? No. But his talents have colored his judgment. He is the kind to grin when a bar fight begins. Who says you can't enjoy your work?

Heroic Motivations

Justice/Recognition

Allegiance

(who do you believe in or are you loyal to)


History & Heroic Origin

News clipping from two years ago-

"A tremendous explosion echoed among the Olympic Mountains. The thunder that rolled across the countryside was caused by a meteorite slowing to the sound barrier. The impact on Mt Seattle decimated four square miles but caused only two casualties due to the sparse population; Dr James Price and David Price. James was rescued by helicopter and is in critical condition, whereas his brother David is missing."

   David was never found.  Although not expected to live, James made a miraculous recovery.  He spent the remainder of the summer searching the area for his brother or at least his remains.  Shortly after this James's meta-human traits began to surface.  In another cruel twist of fate, he made a spit second decision to save a patient's life that caused him to lose his medical license.  Using 'powers' is a violation of protocol regardless of the outcome.
   James found himself living and working in Rust City.  Most find the area a dangerous and unsavory place to be, let alone live.  But James came to know that it has its charm.  There is no disputing it's crime or lack of law enforcement.  But along the northwest edge of Rust City is where some of Seattle's finest dance halls naturally developed.  Sandwiched between the civility of Seattle and the racy adult entertainment of Rust City, this small district took an art deco, 1930's feel.
   It was during this time that he assumed the identity of Clockwork for the first time.  Building a sort of trust with the local criminal element, James works as a bartender at the Painted Lady.  He always keeps his ear to the ground.  James keeps Clockwork at a low profile, rarely acting directly against the local gangs and crime lords.  Too much for one man, besides there is always plenty of other thugs to keep life interesting.
