Character Concept/(name)

Hi everyone. Normally when I make a character I make it because I have a concept in mind, this time is difference. I am going to make myself a fire/traps corruptor and I'm lacking concept. I'm really wanting to use the science booster pack (changing sex/body shape from different costumes) and the whole science stuff fits good with traps imo. So, please, any ideas of a good concept? If you've got a name for it, I'd love to hear that as well, but if I don't hear anything superb I won't have trouble picking a name for it, when I've gotten the concept. So please! Fire/traps corruptor, with different bodyforms.

I guess with power customization you could use the dark fire set and colour your attacks olive green and pretend you're throwing toxins.

That's all for the moment...

Well the obvious one is to make him a Tech Origin Power Armored villain. You can then make his combat costume significantly bigger than the non-combat costume. There also the Samus route where you have a female character and use the male (or huge) body types for the power armor.

For a science origin character, I'd say he has shapeshifting powers and can change his body almost at will (or at least 5 times ). There are plenty of ways you could do that, but my inclination would be some variation on nanobot experimentation gone wrong. That allows you to tie both powersets into his origin easily, he uses the nanobots as a power source to superheat the air for Fire and also releases some of them to scavenge the materials to make the Traps. Obviously this makes no sense for real science, but it fits well with comic book Science! (with an exclamation mark).

Did you have a reason for gender-bending? That's a pretty significant change for a character to make (without the aid of surgeon, at that) so it should really play into the concept.

Probably for the same reason I made a female character that uses the male model for power armor. I paid $10 for the privilege, I'm going to use it .

Well, here are a couple of names and concepts that came to mind when I read the OP:

Mr. Molotov: go with a mad scientist look.
Health Hazard: power suit wearing assault specialist
Disasteroid: cybernetic and / or android kill bot

Or depending on your tastes in characters here a few on the more fun side:

Toxic Ox: a Crey Industries experiment on a mutated, cybernetic ox / bull themed character that now uses traps to hunt down humans for his restaurant Big Man Burger.

Monkey Wrench: a cybernetic monkey that remembers he was once normal and now uses his enhanced brain to hunt down humans for revenge.

Only thing I could think of was Roadkill BarBCue


Triumphant Defenders Forever
Psylenz FF/Psi, ArticQuark Storm/Rad, Symon BarSisyphus Bots/psn, Max VanSydow Thugs/Dk, Cyclone Symon Bots/stm, Blue Loki Ice/Cd, Widow 46526
HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.

I went with a female, very lightly powered (gladiator shoulders) with a science mask. Next cossie is a huge/male, not sure which yet with more armor. That's all I got so far. Name is Professor Jenkins, quite neutral name.

With Fire and Machines, perhaps a blacksmith type of character--someone who forges steel. Perhaps the powers are shared by multiple people share the technology of the traps(Science Origin applies to Fire/ , but the /Traps are Tech?), and they share the villain name (as it's the name Dread Priate Roberts that invokes fear)
Another possibility to use different body types is a shapeshifter. One who "forges" their own body into new forms as needed.


The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.

I'm late to the game, but I would have suggested, due to the gender/size bending that it be a team/gang but only one is present at the time. You could even put numbers or letters on their chests that are different.

Just sayin...and I might do this actually...it sounds cool.

A body-jumping parasite/symbiote with fire related abilities. The body jumping is necessary because as it uses it's fire powers it literally burns up the host body.

The traps can come into play as it's method of trapping host bodies for the switch, as it is not a fast process and the new body must remain still for a while in order for it to go smoothly.

The Science origin can be explained as the parasite/symbiote was created in a lab for a different purpose and gained sentience accidentally.

I don't have any names for ya on this one though, Proffessor Jenkins would work for it I suppose. Proffessor Jenkins was the scientist who created the parasitic symbiote, and was as such the first body it inhabited. Lacking a name of it's own the parasite adopted the Proffessor's identity.
