Description

Dr E

Minor supervillain

Classification: Tinker 6 (Master 5, Brute 3, Mover 2) Build: small, slight, and louder than anyone in the room

Trigger

Dr E, then a grad student, dedicated six years of her life to one badger sett in Gloucestershire. Her supervisor left, her grant lapsed, and she slept in her failing car because the dataset would be worthless if she stopped. Over time she invented personalities for the badgers and gave them dialogue. The sett was small, inbred, and unusually vulnerable to TB, and over those six years the badgers died one by one. When the last badger took its final breath, Dr E had a revelation, a vision. She can never quite remember it, but it was definitely about badger robots.

Skills: Zoology, Mechanics, Fieldcraft, Notice, Animal Handling, Persuasion (mostly volume and conviction)

Luck

  • Life perk: Beloved nuisance. Her major crimes are entertaining and mostly nonviolent, and she has a theme song. The public is fond of her.
  • Life flaw: Never again an observer. She spent six years forbidden to help badgers and can't be a bystander now. The welfare of her badgers outranks everything, including escape, and she meddles in all kinds of things to entertain and to indulge the badgers
  • Power perk: Self-digging sett. The clan excavates and maintains her workshop and handles routine repairs to themselves
  • Power flaw: True to type. Nothing she builds works unless it's a badger.

Power

The power is strict about fidelity to proportions (though not size), flat-footed gait, general bauplan, and particularly the facial stripes, which she must paint by hand. A finished chassis is inert until the last stripe goes on, and then it wakes. What wakes is a person of sorts: stubborn, practical, talkative, and loyal.

Limits:

  • Nothing she builds works unless it's a badger.
  • The badgers debate her on priorities and sometimes win.
  • She will not sacrifice a badger in combat, even though they can be rebuilt

Other

She got her PhD (in Zoology, though she calls it Badgerology) after defending her thesis from prison. She now frequently wears her doctoral robes to crimes to dunk on lesser supervillains without doctorates. She lives in a quiet house in the suburbs, connected to many many tunnels. None of her neighbors know that it is the lair of the Effervescent Dr. E.

PRT notes

Low priority.
