STATUS: ON HIATUS: Chitin's player bowed out of roleplaying in
general, but has an open invitation to come back when ready. |
 |
|
A 15 year old science geek, bitten by a chemically altered mutant stag
beetle! A few moments of concentration and he grows massively into a hulking
man-beetle complete with Exo-skeleton and exponential strength! He can even
pop out insectoid wings and take flight (erratically)! |
|
In his HERO ID he has trouble speaking intelligibly, so doesn't say
much, and hides his real age from the other Heroes. He has a very high
intelligence, being a major science fair geek in his secret id, and
sometimes catches people by surprise with his unbricklike planning. |
|
Chitin is a classic Hero ID superbrick. In his mild-mannered Secret ID he's
a kid, but he changes into a hulking, super strong and tuff bug person. He
has fantastic protection vs. blunt damage, significantly less vs. Energy,
and a keen vulnerability to slashing damage. |
|
He also has a bizarre insectile olfactory awareness of his surroundings
making him almost impossible to ambush. Finally, he has a very impressive
fast healing capability. |
|
"BZXKCXKCL! Ah, Never mind." |
|
Substantially stronger than Rook, Chitin is more of a
traditional flying brick (though his appearance is a bit unusual). Faster
and better coordinated than Rook, and better able to shrug off low and mid
range damage (being built around Armor rather than Damage Reduction like
Rook), Chitin was better at taking out groups while Rook was generally
better at taking out bosses and other hard single targets. Despite some
overlap, Rook and Chitin worked out very well when they were both active,
complementing each other rather than competing. |
