101 Fireproof

Origin:

While he is a truly exceptional person when you get down to it, Greg Hadrian is a normal human where ascendant abilities are concerned. He rarely fights others though, so when firefighting he typically only has his equipment and years of experience with which to do his job.

Known Powers:

(none)

Limitations / Enhancements:

(none)

Equipment:

Axes: carried in twin, custom-designed leather back holsters he can snap open one-handed, these implements are Greg's favorite work tools. Made from Remarkable (30) MS materials, he can use them to chop through items of like MS, or to inflict Edged Attack damage in melee.

Fire-resistant Clothing: when on a call, Greg puts on this outfit above his ordinary clothing. It provides him Amazing (50) protection against fire, though this defense is -2 CS against plain heat, which is why he can't use it in a burning building for long periods of time.

Smartphone: like most people these days, Greg carries a smartphone on his person at all times, save for in the shower. He can use it to send and receive digital radio signals with Poor (4) ability, doing so with an maximum range of five miles under ideal conditions.

Quirks:

Hardiness: though he's not physically imposing, Greg works out constantly and eats properly. A lifetime of maintaining a healthy lifestyle allows him to calculate his Health as if the sum of his Fighting, Agility, Strength, and Endurance was twenty percent higher.

Unlucky: despite putting in his due dilligence in just about everything he does, Greg is nonetheless subject to unexpected misfortune. This is because, due to being inherently unlucky, his percentile dice will switch for the worse once per hour.

Talents:

First Aid: often needing to resuscitate people suffering from smoke inhalation, Greg has been heavily trained in the fine art of first aid. Should he come across someone who has fallen below Shift 0 Endurance within the last five turns, Greg has the ability to bring them back!

Leadership: a natural leader, Greg readily takes charge of a situation when others seem reluctant to. If he's in charge of a Karma pool, he may add 100 Karma to its total as long as its membership is taking directions from him, whether willingly or otherwise.

Service: having a knack for dealing with people and their problems, Greg has parlayed this tendency into a secondary pursuit as a community organizer. He's constantly trying to make his city a better place for his neighbors, and should receive a +1 CS when reassuring others.

Skill / Axes: while he's not much of a fighter, Greg nonetheless knows his way around axes, and can use them effectively against the environment or other people. He may resolve ACTIONs using his axes as if his Fighting (off) was +1 CS higher than is listed above.

Tumbling: since he often has to leap from structures to save his skin, Greg has trained in proper falling techniques. He may attempt an Agility (bal) ACTION whenever he makes a sudden descent that doesn't cause damage, the success of which allows him to land on his feet.

Contacts:

Greg has fostered countless contacts in his community, for he's constantly working for its betterment. And that's before you consider all of his fellow firefighters, as well as the vast array of people that he's either helped or saved over the years, who would help him if he but asked.

Costume:

Greg uses casual wear most of the time, as he often has to don his firefighting equipment over it during an emergency. This bunker gear includes an insulated jacket, insulated trousers and gloves, a tool belt including an self contained breathing apparatus, and a fire helmet.

Personality:

Greg is a good man. He's always wanted to help others, and as such dedicated himself to a life of service at a very young age. He is likable and inherently trustworthy, and people can back up these impressions of Greg with his documented behavior after decades of fighting fires.

Having a way with others, he spends his time away from the firehouse performing charity work and doing his best to improve his community. Sometimes this entails working at a food bank, while other times it involves rallying the people to work towards a common goal.
