Enhanced Edition Programs

• Kinesthesia [Mind 1, Corr 1]: This rote allows Proteus to subconsciously track and respond to all motion in his vicinity, reducing the difficulty on any combination of dodge, brawl and melee by 1 per success, distributed when the spell is cast.
• Peacemaker [Life 3, Forces 2]: This rote, which is particularly coincidental in places with a heavy exposure to martial arts or Hollywood action movies, causes anything Proteus does that inflicts Bashing (but not Lethal) damage to inflict Succeses x 1 additional temporary Bashing damage for the duration of the spell. If the target suffers more damage than its stamina score, it is unable to act for the difference in turns. As the attack is designed to stun, not inflict bodily harm, any bashing damage inflicted by this spell (but not, obviously, the actual punch/kick) goes away in a matter of minutes.

Other Stuff

Merits & Flaws:

True Faith: Secular Humanism (7)

Strangeness (+1)

Echoes - The Matrix Has Me (+2)

Enemy - The Computer (+3)

Twisted Upbringing - Chantry politics? Huh? Proteus is an outsider looking in on the traditions (+2)

Persona GUIs

Likes white, check. Teleports, check. Rampant AI, check

Proteus Classic: Looks faintly suggestive of Neo, from the Matrix. Has gone by several names, including James Gold and Willian Ayers.

New Proteus: Faintly suggestive of Rutger Hauer. "The Proteus I knew has passed. . . like tears in the rain." Mused Beta upon the change.

Protoko "Sen": A Progenitor clone body, ~12 years old (physically) with milky albino skin, silver hair and heterochromia (one white, one black eye).

New(er) Proteus: Progenitor clone, 20s male, white hair. Stolen from GENOVA.

Proto-Abyss: Proteus Classic meets Zegapain. Has glowing energy lines down his body. Requires Better Body. Sta 5, Lethal Soak.

Anya pestered Maya continually to be allowed on missions, pointing out that she was the best Enlightened Operative Nimrod had - which was true, as far as Enlightened abilities were concerned. Maya specifically designed this suit to compensate for her specialist’s other flaws. It's primary purpose is not combat, but to get Anya to the battle, and then keep her safe there. That said, it still carries an impressive array of weapons, to allow Anya to properly support the battle.
