Biography:
Sometimes, people get lucky. As young raiders, Theodore and four friends managed to hijack and take control of a nearly-pristine tank destroyer. They began to sell their services to the highest bidder, though the rarity of armor often left them to their own devices, much of which was spent retrofitting and scavenging for ammunition. When the mist came, however, they were waiting in Chicago proper for a new client.

Theodore and his crew were posted in their vehicle when the mist overcame them, its rapid mutative properties quickly taking them by surprise. Their bodies began to fuse with the metal and grow into it, as if seeking to become one with the tank destroyer. Theodore managed to slice away just enough flesh to pry himself free, though his companions did not share the same fortune. He could not remove them before they were permanently welded in an unholy union of man and machine. He first considered trying to destroy the monstrosity, but with each passing moment the thought sounded more and more insane. He couldn’t just kill it: they’re family, after all.

The Children of Eve eventually found Dupond and his vehicle and brought him into the fold, being likely the only ones that could stand the monstrosity. He, more than anything, just hopes there just might be some way to end his friends’ waking nightmare.

Mutagens in DNA?: Yes


Mutagens Active?: Yes


Technical

Grunt: 0

Listener: 4
  • Like A Weed: Immune to nearly all forms of toxins, poisons, and radioactivity. Additionally somewhat resistant to fire and heating.
  • Best Friends Forever: Within the vehicle he calls home is twisted, tumorous growths of flesh and viscera that have achieved a form of symbiosis with the machine

Random Mutations
Aberrant Flesh: To this day, Theodore is heavily scarred and disfigured from his mutation, electing to cover every inch of his body at all times.

Stages of Awakening


  • Phase 1: You’ve been touched by Eve, and awakened. As a result, you are now able to shapeshift sufficiently that you can change your appearance, so long as you remain humanoid. You can change sexes as well. You are now sterile or infertile depending on your sex. It takes several rounds of ammunition for you to finally be stopped, and your wounds will rapidly regenerate—preventing blood loss, and often allowing you to get back up. Your blood has an orange hue to it, which will grow more intense over time as the awakened cells continue to do a complete take-over of your body. You are able to telepathically communicate with others like you, and send telepathic messages to any listener within visual range. You can feel hints of each other’s emotions on contact. You can exchange memories on contact with others (including non-listeners), or give memories to listeners on contact. The Orange Fog is no longer toxic to you. You are not able to awaken others.


Pilot: 8
  • Best Friends Forever: While the proficiency in armored vehicles can be translated to other vehicles, Theodore’s strengths lie in his personal tank destroyer.

Vehicle
  • Vehicle Type: Tank (Destroyer)
  • Armour Type: Light
  • Primary Weapon: 200mm cannon, capable of penetrating the vast majority of conventional armor at up to several kilometers.
  • Secondary Armament: Coaxial Light machine gun, can be overridden and operated manually
  • AI Package: Slightly above Standard package, primarily capable of both switching ammunition types on the fly to engage different targets, and to not fire at all when directed in order to maintain concealment.
  • Unique Modifications:
  • Several camo-nets
  • A more efficient and effective autoloader
  • Recoil stabilizing to fire on the move (and to be able to even handle such a potent cannon).
  • Best Friends Forever The tank is so thoroughly infested with mutated flesh that it can now slowly repair itself, and function on its own in a limited capacity in ways that an AI couldn’t. Damaging or forcefully boarding the vehicle also releases clouds of toxic and irritant spores.

Blank for now. Your first interaction with Eve will determine how far along you'll go in this area.

Approved, you disgusting madman. I'll bring you into the IC with a summary IC post later. :p
