Name: Mike "Rubik" Thorpe Age: 30 Height: 5'10" Race: Human Hair: Light-chestnut Eyes: Hazel High Concept: ARMOR's wheelchair-bound surveillance & unmanned drone expert Trouble: An ace broken by newly found weakness Aspect: Unmanned drone expert Aspect: Surveillance system specialist Aspect: Contact with alternate selves Power Grid: Intelligence: 6 (Super-Genius) Strength: 2 (Normal) Speed: 2 (Normal) Durability: 1 (Weak) Energy Projection: 1 (None) Fighting Ability: 4 (Experienced Fighter) |
Bio: With initial background in an unmanned surveillance firm, Mike Thorpe saw a meteoric rise through the ranks and clearance levels of A.R.M.O.R, following his recruitment around the age of 26. Surprisingly, he exhibited an impressive grasp of the concept of alternate realities and approached issues at hand with a cool head, and, whenever necessary, a firm grip on a firearm's handle thanks to the training he received. However, about a year and a half ago, a mission ended in a disaster. Although the threat was ultimately subdued, Mike suffered an injury that cost him the use of his legs. Desperate to return to the field and shamed to no end by being forced into a wheelchair, he took drastic measures by allowing a prototype medicine to be used on him. The results were catastrophic as the medicine messed with his regenerative system and prevented what restoration could have been possible for his legs. After a bout of near-suicidal depression, agent Rubik saw another unexpected side-effect to the medicine. Gradually his already above-average brain activity spiked. The drones he had used in the past seemed inferior now – he could clearly see improvements that could be made and zealously tinkered in a lab borrowed from his more compassionate colleagues on the staff. The results were remarkable as his old capabilities reached a new height. Following a series of tests performed internally by A.R.M.O.R to test Mike's fitness for ongoing duty (his psychological state in particular was a great concern), it was decided to entrust him with an experimental device capable of homing in on the user's alternative universe counterparts and contacting them. His objective? To explore the device's uses and find suitable applications for the future. Skillset: The training he was provided with at A.R.M.O.R helped establish knowledge of most non-specialized firearms and CQC. These skills are now poorly applicable due to his being restrained to a wheelchair. Of note however is his extensive knowledge of a great variety of surveillance systems with greatest emphasis being made on unmanned drones. Lately with the sudden near-supernatural spike in intelligence he has become more than capable of designing his own templates for use in the field. Rumor has it he was even working on a suitable "proxy" he could employ in the field. In addition A.R.M.O.R entrusted him with the SARPD (Stable Alternate Reality Portal Device) prototype, usable to make contact with one's counterparts in alternate realities. Personality: Mike has made a painful transition, and not of his own volition. Charming and wisecracking, most would have described Agent Rubik as "driven" in the past. Recruitment by A.R.M.O.R was taken by him with nothing short of outright excitement and he would strive to perform his duty with flair. His injury was a tragedy in many ways. While he is certainly now employing newly found skills and increased aptitudes, some argue that he is not the same at all. This is no longer the genuine excitement of a thrill-seeker discovering a new world. This is a broken man in a rush to keep himself from falling apart. Albeit one that manages to veil most of it adequately. Mike relishes his tasks and prepares drones for deployment with wild abandon, operating them like a skilled chess-master - the closest he can do to an actual return into the field. The SARPD device holds a new danger for him. He does not represent his best possible outcome, so what would seeing the versions of Mike Thorpe that ended up in better condition, or worse condition for that matter, do to him in his present state? |

Thank you! I sure hope I manage to play him well. It's actually a very old idea that I somewhat refurbished for this RP.*Looks at new character* He seems like someone fun to RP with.
Cool.Thank you! I sure hope I manage to play him well. It's actually a very old idea that I somewhat refurbished for this RP.
If you could drop an initial background post in the Casual/SoL Thread that'd be great.Yeah I'm still around, and definitely still interested!
Am SHIELD Level 36 in Future Fight and the only character I'm missing is Carnage.*Looks at Mission Stephen is assigned* I actually love it, one of my favorite Marvel games Future Fight focuses on evil versions of well known characters, it's cool to see.
