in story powers

Hey kids, Working on some short stories for my characters and I'm at a bit of an em pass. Specifically explain in story how the power for this particular character works. From a technological origin, how would you explain how unstoppable would work?

Zortel's Force of Nature/Unstoppable (Blaster with Force Mastery APP) is her setting her kinetic dampening shields to maximum, which provides her with protection until the circuits overheat and shut down for safety.

Maxi Pound's Unstoppable is her forcing as much of her bio-energy field through her body and the gloves and shield tech that it powers to protect herself. She can't keep it up forever though, and once she reaches that limit she wipes her ability to power her shields out, and is vulnerable.

Two examples from my characters that have that sort of power, and the tech side of them.

oh, I like the circuit shut down function idea. Thanks for the idea.

as an aside how do you explain Rage?

Right now I'm going with activating full sensors and cutting out the first level of saftey protocols, effectively shunting 50% extra power to the characters motor systems while feed about 30% more data from his body's sensors for targeting purposes.

Not really a purely tech explanation, but since my Inv tanker is basically a living soul trapped in a mechanical body, the ol' pushing the system beyond its design limits because you're more than 'just a machine' works for me. Same deal with Rage.

Now if you're going for a tech character devoid of all feelings and such, your standard limited overclock should work fine. After all, you can run an engine at max RPM...but not for long. <_<

Gunwitch's version of this is a drug induced metabolic acceletrator with hightened pain reduction. Running her metabolism at 200% results in a massive crash after a couple of minutes leaving her drained.

Battle Unit Omega's rage is Rapid Assault Gear Equip. A series of extra gears that slip into place and tempoary increase the physical force that the robot can put out, the low damage debuff and end cost are the effects of a coolant system that kicks in to get rid of the excess heat.
