Dr. McAllister

Background

Name: Dr. Zachary McAllister Jr.
Concept: Zach McAllister's Son
Allegiance: Phoenix International
Nature: Expert

Mental (7)

• Intelligence 5 Mega 2 (Bright)
• Wits 5 Mega 2 (Saw That Coming)
• Perception 5{6} Mega 2 (Sharp Eyes)

• Eidetic Memory: The Nova may in effect have up to [Mega-Intelligence + 3] "phantom" dots of knowledge abilities stored in his memory, with no single "phantom" ability having a rating higher than (Mega-Intelligence/2 or 3, whichever is lower, round up) dots. These dots act as the ability in all respects, but are not actually purchased.
• Quickness: Quickness actions may explicitly not be split into multiple actions, and moreover allow all actions, including the use of Quantum powers. A Nova may not take any more Quickness actions than he or she has Mega-Wits.
• Electromagnetic Vision: The Enhancement stays in effect for a scene. Adds (+Mega-Perception) dice for sight rolls instead of +3d.
• Quantum Attunement: This enhancement allows the Nova to perceive Psions (as holes in the quantum background) at a higher difficulty, as well as tracking quantum powers.

Physical (3)

• Strength 3{6} Mega 1
• Dexterity 5{6} Mega 3 (Coordinated)
• Stamina 3 Mega 1 (Resolute)

• Fast Tasks: On extended rolls which require effort and knowledge, divide the timeframe of a roll by (Mega-Dexterity). Simple tasks such as painting or gardening can be completed in one combat round (3 seconds). When Fast Tasks is active, a Nova may take advantage of their increased speeds, reloading, drawing, or changing ammunition for weapons as a reflexive action.
• Weapons Master (M-Dex): A Nova with this enhancement is an unparalleled master of the way the the sword, the way of the gun, and the way of the thermobaric rocket launcher. This enhancement replaces a weapon's RoF with (Mega-Dexterity * 2) if slower, doubles its Range, and allows a Nova to reload a weapon reflexively with no need for a roll. More importantly, the Nova rerolls all 10s on rolls related to weapons handling, or weapons damage. As a final benefit, all ranged weapons in the Nova's hands gain +1 accuracy and +1 damage due to better shot placement. This enhancement costs nothing and is always on.
• Adaptability: Adaptability renders the Nova biologically immortal and adds (Mega-Stamina) dice to any roll to resist toxins or diseases which the Nova is not immune to.

Phoenix Interstellar

Holdings on Eden and in nearby star systems

Office Tower in the business district with stores on the lower floors and labs in the basement. Has plenty of briefing rooms if we end up need to hold meetings there.

Apartment Buildings for Unity personnel and other people of importance. Top floor is a large penthouse, easy access to office tower and research complex

Industrial/Research Complex with able workspace for Unity scientists, an entire wing for the Chitra Bantu, Zach's vast, well-equipped lab and second home, and the factories making various Phoenix products.

System 306-PHI - Identified early on as a mineral rich system by early Aeon astronomers and mapped by a probe in the late Nova era, the system is one of several Zach has obtained from the Aeon society archives, but it is the only one practical for regular extraction. The lease agreement with the Eden government has kept Phoenix Interstellar well-funded.
