First, the weeaboo background: how to get someone from glorious nipon into the states after the rifts? You know how japan had heavy technology contacts with the united states pre-rifts? He's the young child of japanese old money, in town demoing a cryogenics system for his family when the rifts happen. He is left frozen in the cryopod, burried in the wreckage of a city. When the power eventually runs down, it thaws him out before the battery fails.
Now for the munchkinism: The rifts change him, making him a super. He get a fairly simple speed/strength/toughness set of powers, and I have to choose a P.C.C. for him. I choose Dedicated Martial Artist, under the assumption that he was raised Very Traditionaly by old money. He knows Akido and Zanji Shinjinken-Ryu, and is well trained in caligraphy and bonsai, and has a few low level business related skills. He's never been in a real fight in his life, and is a staunch pacifist.
It's even got a delicious touch of rule bending: supers aren't allowed to have soldier P.C.C.s, but the ninjas and superpies book's classes aren't laid out into categories like the rifts main book P.C.C.s, the category of the dedicated martial artist is left up in the air. Since neither his teacher, parents, peers, or himself ever envisioned his upbringing as anything other than a scholarly and artistic pursuit though, the dedicated martial artist class would fit in with the scientist and doctor more than the soldier, wouldn't it? |
