Osahar Solarin | OC (Part 2)

Lastly, for Bastion, he'll be dealing with a lot of new things. Arable farmland is a novelty to him, and children are rare enough that he'll feel a little awkward around them. Likewise, a lot of the technology common to the setting will be so obsolete by his time that he'll have to learn how to use them. He's also completely unfamiliar with anything supernatural, leading to a great deal of confusion with that basic idea. While he's not agoraphobic, he'll still feel a little uneasy while planetside, since he grew up in stations or tunnels, and he's never been to an earth-type world. Natural smells and sunshine too are going to be a novelty. Some more pleasant than others, naturally.

Powers: Osahar doesn't have powers per se. While his cybernetic arm is quite a bit stronger than a human one, it's just a function of mechnical principles, not super powers. Likewise, he has a plasma pistol and it can do a lot of damage, but it's just coherent energy, not supernatural stuff.

That being said, his hypertech does tend to skirt awful close to that line. His arm's strength, and his wrist-mounted computer's functionality, are passive and won't be power-limited. His pistol, though, can store up to three shots, and after that will draw on shards as an additional energy source if needed, instead of tonics.

It should be noted that, in his world, energy weapons are keyed off of specific individuals, with biometric 'locks' preventing unauthorized use. Thus, he can't divvy out more of them to other people in Bastion.

While he does have a great deal of engineering knowledge and the like, those are really more 'talents' than 'powers.' It's worth noting that there's not a lot he can do with his level of tech unless he gets a workshop with the tools he's used. Needless to say, such a workshop is not currently in Bastion.

Entry: As befits someone like him, he'll be on the Skyway on Day 61, and barring any opening events, will be able to get to Bastion on his own.
