A.C. Peters a.k.a. Attim, The Rock Doc (Cybers), The Scarlet Angel (Supers), Sailor/Lady Mars, Mars-sama (unofficially by the Senshi, because A.C. REALLY discourages it), That Poor Sod (at least once by everyone who knows about The Accident)
Written By: Cobalt Greywalker
Appearance: Looks like Attim MZak from Seraphic Feather.
Notable Mundane Attributes:
I can make you talk: A.C. was a Telecommunications engineer before the Wave hit, and can work wonders with them now. It also makes her great at SIGINT.
Sometimes Im a gruff dock worker: Has mastered the mundane methods of disguise and infiltration.
IF x THEN y ELSE z: Was a software engineer by training, and since lifting helps out the fennish Open Source community. Has a knack for finding the tricky-to-find bugs, usually right when she didnt want to.
That was someone else: Spends a lot of time downplaying her reputation. It is the only reason shes not a BNF.
Wavium Abilities:
Dont call me a Sexaroid!: Total conversion cyborg, with MASSIVE Handwavium assist (see Ride the Wave? I AM the Wave). Is FULLY anatomically correct, and all her biological systems apparently work as normal. A.C. is rather scared to find out if shes fertile.
Dont call me the T-X either!: Possesses the typical full borg bonuses; highly boosted speed and strength, enhanced senses, and frankly scary increased reaction times. Can also multi-task, has a wave-boosted computer in her head, and perfect memory.
Ride the Wave? I AM the Wave: Her body is almost completely artificial, consisting of about 97% Handwavium in various states (see History and Quirks).
I will NOT say Honey Flash!': Due to the large amounts of Handwavium in her body, she can change virtually all parts of her appearance (see Quirks), and several areas of soft tissue.
Flesh of the Sculptor, freely given: If using only her bodys wavium, A.C. gets a MASSIVE increase in her success rate. However this only works for her. For anyone else, at best nothing happens. At worst it UTTERLY CORRUPTS the project (see History). It also takes a while to regenerate the wavium used, so she saves this for emergencies.
Quirks:
I read a lot, OK?: Avid reader.
Does this make me look fat?: A.C.s body masses 2 and a half metric tonnes, but due to the IVA belt A.C. had been wearing at the time of The Accident has an apparent weight of only 160kg (twice A.C.s original weight).
Her lips are venomous Poison: Due to the vast amounts of Handwavium that make up her body, a kiss might be enough to trigger a biomod in a person (depending on how much Handwavium theyve been exposed to). Lets not mention her bodily fluids
Im not bad, Im just drawn that way: Cannot change her body shape to be anything other than an extremely sexy and well endowed female.
Shes a girl whos always in fashion: Cant wear anything less showy than a low-cut AND low buttoned dress shirt, figure hugging dress slacks, and smart low-healed boots. In public, shes compelled to wear more attractive and more revealing clothing depending on how public the situation is. Underwear is even worse.
Voice like a Horny Angel: Due to her disrupted bio-systems, randomly goes into Heat every 24 hours, which NEEDS to be dealt with or nymphomania sets in. Given her other attributes this could be quite nasty.
I will NOT wear THAT!: Does not do cosplay since the problems at Kandor-Con.
Dont call me that!: A.C. was convinced to cosplay as Sailor Mars at Kandor-Con. That lasted five hours until she could finally ditch the rampaging hoard of fan-Senshi following her and change. The Senshi seem to have unofficially decided to call her Sailor Mars, but its unofficial because A.C. REALLY dislikes it.
Humm CHEESECAKE: Is pretty much addicted to the stuff, and gets VERY cranky if she doesnt get some. Only hand baked will do though.
Me, Myself, and Irene: Has wavium induced Multiple Personality Disorder. They are:
A.C. Who is in control most of the time
Attim MZac Attim usually deals with the business (investigation, infiltration, and combat) side and can take over without A.C. noticing to act. A.C. finds this quite scary, unless shes in danger whereupon everyone else finds her quite scary.
Mistress Darkeyes Usually starts to come out when A.C. goes into heat. Will also come out if A.C. gets REALLY mad, or if someone needs interrogating. Shes a sadistic, uninhibited, hedonistic, nymphomaniac dominatrix of a seductress. Shes also scarily good with a whip.
It also looks like a fourth personality is developing, which A.C doesnt like but the others find amusing given that the emergent personality wants a high draw strength collapsible bow and tracer arrows
What did you say?: Has a habit of swearing by other factions beliefs.
Who are you?: The Accident has left her memory before it quite fuzzy. She remembers his youth and initial Handwavium research much as a normal person would though, but between then and The Accident Skills learned during this time seem unaffected, but as A.C. cant remember them they only get used in an emergency.
Oh, thats who you are. OW! My brain hurts: Once given a clear reminder, her brain clears up the memories to the perfect recall she now has. It gives her a severe headache though.
Factions: Cybers and Supers, although she tries hard to be a Generalist. The Senshi consider her one of them as well.
History:
A.C. was born male and was the son of career military officer. As far as anyone can tell, A.C. was one of the first three people to find Handwavium, but was much more cautious with it. Playing with the solid and referencing what little came up on the Internet, he had some reasonable success with simple applications (solar power by painting boards with the stuff, and a rock eating variant that left all useful minerals and tended to work in rectangular blocks), but it wasnt until he accidentally dribbled some goop on a hand from a shop mannequin and ended up with The Thing from the Adams Family for three days until it stopped that he thought about making artificial limbs for people. Reverse engineering the now stationary hand and using the principles therein, he put together an artificial arm for a friend who had lost one in a car accident and a semi-legal contract for him to sign. It worked, even if it biomodded his friend and the arm transformed into something youd have seen on a BGC2032 style 55-C boomer and constantly played whatever rock tune was on any radio station in the world directly into his friends ear.
Whilst refining the design to use the least amount of wavium necessary and be more realistic (and reduce the quirks) he met Fred Ferdinand and got some funding and some enthusiastic test subjects (A.C. was much more cautious about the procedure).
However the Professors jaunt around Europe sent the countries of the European Union into a frenzy of legislation and A.C. ended up putting much of his stuff in storage and his house under the control of a newly started Helios Holdings, then lifting for space himself. Once up he found himself an asteroid and set up shop.
It was while working here that he suffered what has come to be known in Fenspace as The IVA Accident (A.C. just calls it The Accident, which causes eavesdroppers to get confused with The Accident which DUANE Peters had with fermented wavium. You need to know who you are talking about). Whilst doing some work in 2009 on a pulley mechanism for dipping large items in wavium, his IVA belt went spectacularly out of control and failed, leaving a cut and bruised A.C. to fall into a large tank of near-pure Handwavium he had been using for cybernetic construction and get knocked out (Handwavium goop is not soft, especially when fallen on).
According to the camera monitoring system A.C. had set up, he sank into the goop and over the course of a day the goop decreased until A.C had totally absorbed it. It was obvious even then that A.C. had suffered the second most dramatic wavium biomod (after Wave Convoy) ever seen. (It also proved that the Slapstick Effect applied to liquid wavium, something which is kept quiet as biomoding would become a problem.) Waking up in a totally clean tank, A.C. noticed his changes and proceeded to freak out.
Once he had calmed down, he proceeded to awaken a wave AI (called Libbie) in his bases computer system, rapidly enhanced it, then got to work on an assistant which eventually culminated in Kasumi. A.C. ended up quickly following Kasumi with Andy, and later on Greenpeace.
As much as A.C. likes Greenpeace, she will always hold a grudge against her for talking A.C. into cosplaying as Sailor Mars at Kandor-Con, where she ended up running from an army of fan-Senshi for several hours before she lost them and managed to change clothes. Ever since, whenever she leaves her asteroid she does so in disguise. This means she encounters more Boskonians than she otherwise would, as they try to avoid her after her outright slaughter of several crews who attacked ships or bases she was on.
A.C. has a massive success rate in wave effects when using only her own bodies wavium. This only works for her however, as she gave some samples to trusted people to test. Nothing happened when they tried using the samples. However when a guy stole a sample and eventually used it to biomod himself, the investigators who found his body after his suicide described the result as like a Joker Squared, even Cubed and shudder before going and getting very drunk.
Kasumi
Written by: Cobalt Greywalker
Appearance: Looks like a cross between Kasumi from the Dead Or Alive game, and Kasumi Tendo.
Notable Mundane Attributes:
The way to a mans heart is through his stomach: Excellent cook.
Welcome home Dear!: Very much a housewife.
Dr. Tofu, can I borrow some books?: Is learning traditional Eastern medical practices.
Wavium Abilities:
I know the Iron-Skin defence: Wave AI android.
I am a shadow: Kunoichi
Quirks:
Come with me Dear: Kasumi is more willing to put up with A.C.s Heat moments than A.C.
Boo! Sorry: Has a habit of sneaking up on people and surprising them.
History:
Kasumi was the first android A.C. built after The Accident, trying to keep her newly emergent quirks in check.
Kasumi usually wears a skimpy outfit based on the DOA character of the same names costumes with a frilly house apron, and says Oh My! a lot. She maintains the asteroid base as clean as a sterilised surgical scalpel, which can be annoying to the others. She also takes care of the asteroids defences.
While all of those there have medical talents, Kasumi has been learning Eastern traditional medicine, mostly pressure points, and acupuncture.
Adonis Andy McMurdo
Written by: Cobalt Greywalker
Appearance: Looks like the model for Michelangelos The Thinker crossed with an Ancient Greek Olympian.
Notable Mundane Attributes:
Thats interesting: Spends a lot of time contemplating ideas.
The names Bond. James Bond: Can be the ultimate charmer.
Wheres my Periodic Table?: With his sense of smell, has become a reasonable and wide ranging chemist.
Wavium Abilities:
Hes a work of art: Wave AI android.
Lavender soap?: Has the sense of smell of a bloodhound.
Was that supposed to do something?: Pretty much immune to impact and temperature (see Quirks).
Quirks:
This is so freeing: Usually walks around nude.
Aye lassie. This is how a man should be: If he HAS to wear something, its usually a kilt and leather sandals. JUST those.
Ah... Bonnie Scotland: Has a Scottish accent.
History:
Andy was made shortly after Kasumi, during A.C.s initial manifestation of her wave quirks and as a counterbalance to Kasumi. Unfortunately, his statuesque physique lives up to its description, being as it is far more solid than Kasumis. In fact he can take most forms of gunfire and melee weapon impacts without damage, and seems pretty much immune to extreme temperature. This also means he walks around nude nearly all of the time, which is distracting and can get him in trouble in most places.
In public, he wears a kilt and leather sandals, playing to the Scottish accent he has. But, as a few adventurous Senshi have found to their embarrassment, ONLY those. He is also the consummate charmer (something A.C. believes was put in to soothe her sensibilities from her change).
Adonis also possesses a highly developed sense of smell, which makes him popular with station security services. It has also led him to take up chemistry.
Greenpeace Crolis
Written by: Cobalt Greywalker
Appearance: A perfectly proportioned 56/168cm elfin fairy with green skin, green hair, green eyes (with pale green whites), and four insect like wings. Greenpeace is usually dressed in filmy and lacy lingerie and stockings.
Notable Mundane Attributes:
Green thumb, and hands, and arms: THE consummate gardener.
You, I like: Can read a persons personality in a few moments. This makes her an excellent judge of character, so much so that her approval of a person can stop arrests and cause a re-evaluation of evidence (but only if Greenpeace is seen to approve in public though. Those who lie about approval tend to get worse punishments).
Wavium Abilities:
Yes, Im Green. So?: Wave AI bioroid.
Hello, Tinkerbell: Has flight capabilities.
I like the solitude: Can easily survive in hard vacuum, although this is kept secret.
The airs so crisp: Is a natural, and massively effective, atmospheric control system. This is due in part to the fact she photosynthesizes highly effectively.
Poison Ivy: Can produce a variety of chemicals, including knockout gasses, aphrodisiacs, narcotics, and touch-delivered nerve toxins. Also produces a handwavium variant that both produces power and photosynthesizes oxygen in sufficient quantities to coat 100 square meters a week.
Quirks:
: Does not talk. AT ALL. Yet seems to be perfectly able to discuss detailed scientific theories and otherwise make herself clear, even to Mundanes. The more wavium in your body, the less you notice she isnt speaking.
Death from abo-OOPH!: Greenpeace is nigh infamous for her flying tackle-hugs on those she likes.
Persona VERY grata: Due to her abilities as an atmospheric control system, nearly every Fenspace and non ground-based Dane jurisdiction considers her a visiting diplomat. Thus an attack on her person is usually met with the full force of all resources available, and nearly every faction will help out if they can.
History:
After finally getting used to her new body, and things had settled down, A.C. started looking into how the systems shed put into Kasumi and Andy worked with a view to making them a bit more self-repairing and self-sufficient.
Eventually she got round to trying some ideas out, and with less haste than before constructed a more biologically based android. She also wanted a more peaceful person around.
Greenpeace runs the horticultural side of operations on the asteroid, which endears her to Kasumi. She is more than willing to use this and her faade of innocence to get A.C. to do things, but after Kandor-Con finds this much harder.
Surprisingly, Greenpeaces wings allow her to fly (in the same sort of way waved cars fly, via a contra-gravity effect), and her inherent ability to photosynthesize allows her to survive in hard vacuum without a suit. A.C. has Greenpeace keep this last a secret, as it would make Greenpeace a target for those who want to duplicate it.
People tend not to notice, but Greenpeace doesnt talk. A.C. assures people that the equipment is all there. This doesnt stop her having long conversations with groups of people. A.C. with help from others including the Professor (after forcefully explaining that he couldnt borrow her in the name of Science!, no matter how much he tried) have developed the theory that Greenpeace has somehow reversed her bodys Handmavium Impression abililty (the bit that makes it respond to a persons desires) in a directed fashion. This doesnt seem to be telepathy (much to some disappointment) but a local synchronisation of individual bio-electric processes to quote the Professor. Most think it has something to do with Handwaviums ability to communicate internally, given that people with increasing levels of wavium in them notice less and less in proportion that Greenpeace isnt talking and are disbelieving when this is pointed out.
Frederic Full Byte Ferdinand
Written By: Cobalt Greywalker
Appearance: 57/170cm, thinning and greying dirty brown hair, grey-blue eyes, early-middle age, slightly (but not noticeably) overweight.
Notable Mundane Attributes:
I think I can help you: CEO of Helios Holdings (Galactic), the most successful Earth-based Fen-Dane technology transfer company.
Blue Blazer #255: No-one knows if it was luck or Buckaroo that he ended up with that number, but it is the source of his nickname.
I never seem to have travel problems: Seems to be the unofficial diplomatic courier between Fenspace and Danelaw, with attendant privileges. This annoys Fred, as no-one will tell him how it happened.
Wavium Abilities:
Bring me a Warriors drink!: Has the only working artificial liver known to exist. Freds pretty much immune to poisons, but he cant get drunk anymore. And the doctors assure him that the wrinkles are just from stress.
Rush Job? Certainly: Can find and deliver ANYTHING within 24 hours to anywhere on Earth, if necessary (See Quirks).
Quirks:
Six degrees of separation? Try two.: Seems to personally know, or personally knows someone who personally knows, the heads of every organisation that deals in wavetech, and quite a few inventors.
Deep Cover: The Blue Blazers refer to him ONLY by his nickname, he can not be found on the public roles, and only Buckaroo seems to contact him. Fred doesnt know if this is a good thing or not.
For Queen and Country: While based in Australia, Fred still actively maintains his British citizenship and English accent.
This? Its an Old PDA: Since his poisoning, always carries a waved PDA that scans for toxins.
Factions: General/All
History:
Fred is one of those people who knows a good thing and goes for it. Hes also scientifically inclined, so has a reasonable idea of the potential of wavetech. By virtue of hard work and some fortunate contacts he has built up Helios Holdings into what is probably the Earth-based leader in Handwavium technology, even if the Dane governments claim to be more advanced.
This success has led to a few attempts on his life, the most successful of which was the poisoning attempt in 2010. Fortunately, A.C. was (secretly) meeting with him and whipped out the (non-operational) model of the artificial liver shed brought along (to try and get funding for, given the success of her cybernetic limbs), and forced a biomod with her bodys wavium.
It took twelve hours to work, but that was eleven hours more than the poison would have given him.
As of Operation: Great Justice, Fred is working on tracing the Boskonians money trail using his contacts.

Most think it has something to do with Handwaviums ability to communicate internally, given that people with increasing levels of wavium in them notice less and less in proportion that Greenpeace isnt talking and are disbelieving when this is pointed out.
Frederic Full Byte Ferdinand
Written By: Cobalt Greywalker
Appearance: 57/170cm, thinning and greying dirty brown hair, grey-blue eyes, early-middle age, slightly (but not noticeably) overweight.
Notable Mundane Attributes:
I think I can help you: CEO of Helios Holdings (Galactic), the most successful Earth-based Fen-Dane technology transfer company.
Blue Blazer #255: No-one knows if it was luck or Buckaroo that he ended up with that number, but it is the source of his nickname.
I never seem to have travel problems: Seems to be the unofficial diplomatic courier between Fenspace and Danelaw, with attendant privileges. This annoys Fred, as no-one will tell him how it happened.
Wavium Abilities:
Bring me a Warriors drink!: Has the only working artificial liver known to exist. Freds pretty much immune to poisons, but he cant get drunk anymore. And the doctors assure him that the wrinkles are just from stress.
Rush Job? Certainly: Can find and deliver ANYTHING within 24 hours to anywhere on Earth, if necessary (See Quirks).
Quirks:
Six degrees of separation? Try two.: Seems to personally know, or personally knows someone who personally knows, the heads of every organisation that deals in wavetech, and quite a few inventors.
Deep Cover: The Blue Blazers refer to him ONLY by his nickname, he can not be found on the public roles, and only Buckaroo seems to contact him. Fred doesnt know if this is a good thing or not.
For Queen and Country: While based in Australia, Fred still actively maintains his British citizenship and English accent.
This? Its an Old PDA: Since his poisoning, always carries a waved PDA that scans for toxins.
Factions: General/All
History:
Fred is one of those people who knows a good thing and goes for it. Hes also scientifically inclined, so has a reasonable idea of the potential of wavetech. By virtue of hard work and some fortunate contacts he has built up Helios Holdings into what is probably the Earth-based leader in Handwavium technology, even if the Dane governments claim to be more advanced.
This success has led to a few attempts on his life, the most successful of which was the poisoning attempt in 2010. Fortunately, A.C. was (secretly) meeting with him and whipped out the (non-operational) model of the artificial liver shed brought along (to try and get funding for, given the success of her cybernetic limbs), and forced a biomod with her bodys wavium.
It took twelve hours to work, but that was eleven hours more than the poison would have given him.
As of Operation: Great Justice, Fred is working on tracing the Boskonians money trail using his contacts.
