Genius 5

Prime Energy 5/5

Dominic doesn't have an "avatar" as the Traditionalists would call it. Rather, he just has an unending drive to push onwards, fight harder, and become ever-stronger. One might call it an obsession with iterative self-improvement. If something doesn't work, better yourself so it does work.

Attacks

Finger Needlers

Bionic hands with 2mm electromagnetic coilguns in the index fingers. You can literally make finger-guns, yell "BANG!" a lot, and kill people. Less whimsically, they have reinforced strike faces and superior strength that provides +1 Strength for gripping, punching, and crushing things.
Damage 5L, Rate 4, Range 40, Clip 16 (regular/silver) per Needler

Martial Arts (LINE)

Linear Infighting Neuro-Override Engagement was originally designed for Iteration X cyborgs. Attempts to introduce it to the masses in a more limited format have met with mixed results-but the Shock Corps still practices it, and its high lethality is considered a feature, not a bug.
Death Strike: Difficulty 5, Damage Str + 2L (11L)
Hard Strike: Difficulty 5, Damage Str + 1B (10B)
Nerve Strike: Difficulty 7, Damage Str + 3B (12B), Stuns if target fails Stamina roll @ diff 8.
Joint Lock: Difficulty 5, Damage (Dex + Martial Arts)L (9L)
Throw: Difficulty 7, Damage Str + 0B + 1B for every 10ft of movement. Throwing enemy into other enemy deals 1B per dot of Stamina of thrown enemy plus any bonus damage for movement.
