MARIO BOARDS MEGA BRAWL 2

• Sucks To Be You- The Bin Brothers are each armed with two powerful vacuum arms that can suck up objects from two feet away - including fighters! As long as they have enough capacity, the Bin Brothers can suck up and store anything about the size of Mario or Luigi. If they run out of space, they will have to eject some trash to make room.
  • A larger fighter, such as an average-sized human, could also fit inside with appropriate levels of bending and flexibility. However, they will not fit in the vacuum and cannot be trapped. This could be useful for allies as part of an ambush.
• Trash Day - Anything the Bin Brothers are currently holding can be ejected from their vacuum arms at a high speed, potentially making for good projectiles. Of course, they'll have a strong urge to go pick it up afterwards.
• Reduce, Reuse, Recycle - As they clean up the arena, the Bin Brothers will happily collect and use any abandoned items they come across. If something can't be used (i.e. it's broken or incompatible with their physiology), they will try to repurpose it into something new.
• Brothers in Arms - The Bin Brothers have exceptional teamwork skills and are very good at dividing up workloads in the most efficient manner.
• Garbage Technician - Their familiarity with the Waluigi Time Amusement Park's complicated recycling machine makes the Bin Brothers adept at using technology, even if they've never seen it before.

• Runt of the Litter - The Bin Brothers hate litter! If they recognize any abandoned items (i.e. they've already seen it used or it's somehow identifying), they will become laser focused on tracking down and eliminating the owner at the expense of just about everything else.
• Fatal Attraction - The Bin Brothers are especially vulnerable to magnets.
• Going Green - Green Bin's enthusiasm can be a bit much. He's much more willing to trust other fighters or try untested things than his brothers, which could prove dangerous.
• Feeling Blue - Blue Bin is often unsure of himself and needs reassurance from Green Bin or Red Bin. If he's left alone, he won't be as effective.
• Seeing Red - As the most aggressive of the three, Red Bin is likely to charge into battle without thinking. The presence of Green Bin or Blue Bin can rein him in somewhat.

Hey, boo! Did you miss me? Who knew you'd be contractually obligated to come back to Marioboards.com after surviving one of their Awards Killing Games? I guess I should have read the fine print. Whoopsies!

Ya know, they really should remove the "Awards" part from the name. People freaking died! There's nothing awarding about that!

Anywhoooo, what do I have to appear in this time? MARIO BOARDS MEGA BRAWL 2, huh? Sounds right up my alley! I've been doing some soul searching since you last saw me...

AND NOW I'M READY TO DESTROY EVERYTHING IN MY PATH! BOW DOWN TO ME MARIO BOARD PLEBS, FOR YOUR NEW QUEEN HAS ARRIVED! NOTHING CAN STOP ME NOW! NOTHING!!!11

...

​

:D

Polly... BFFR.

*Sighs* Fine... Let me look over the application.

​

Polly Geist (She/Her)

• Boo! - As a ghost, Polly possesses all the stereotypical abilities you would expect ghosts to have — Levitation, Ghost Zone Teleportation, and Selective Intangibility included!
• Forever in the Shadows - As a ghost and apparent former Yakuzu member, Polly thrives in staying out of sight —preferring to ambush her enemies before they even know she's there.
• Weapon Mastery - Having honed her skills on Circitus Island, Polly has an innate understanding on how to use any weapon she comes across in a pinch (including Demorge's cane!). She still prefers to attack with a trusty knife or knuckleduster, however. Old habits never truly die.
• I could really use a weapon right now! - Using DeMorge's cane, Polly can instantly summon weapons for herself or her allies.
• Phantom Summoning - Using Demorge's cane, Polly can summon phantoms that take the form of her friends to change the tide of battle! She has to be careful, though. Each summon can only be used once during the Mega Brawl, and DeMorge's cane will have to recharge before she can use another one.
  • The Power of Friendship! - Summons phantoms that take the form of The Coven (AKGO) to do a powerful AOE light magic attack.
  • Talking Head - Summons a phantom that takes the form of The Narrator (Various) to narrate the Mega Brawl for a short period of time. While the phantom is narrating, all competitors can hear him. They can either use it as a distraction or use it to gain information about the other contestants.
  • Scrimblo Barrage - Summons phantoms that take the form of Vicia and an army of Scrimblos (AKGO; original characters by @GBA) to do a powerful stampeding attack.
  • You saved me, boo! - Summons a phantom that takes the form of a Cometstruck Storm (AKGO; original character by @GBA) to provide assistance on the battlefield for a short period of time. Like a smash assist trophy, Polly can either use this summon to quickly double-team someone, or tactically retreat giving her opponent something to deal with.
  • Substitution Jutsu - Summons a phantom that takes the form of MBK (AKGO; original character by @GBA) to take direct attacks meant for Polly for a short period of time. Polly got the idea after reading one of Zoe's Narufield fanfictions. Whether it works as the substitution jutsu from Naruto or as the substitute move from Pokémon is up to interpretation. Either way, MBK suffers.

• Exorcism - As a ghost, Polly could get exorcised from the game!
• Wasn't that a throwaway line?! - Yes. Yes, it was. Now Pollly is actually weak to vacuums. Be careful what you use as a throwaway line because you never know when it will come back to bite you in the a-.
• Hey! That's mine! - If someone steals DeMorge's cane from Polly, she loses two of her abilities. Luckily, only a real meanie would do that! You're not a meanie, are you?

• PRANK MASTERZ! - As one of the two members of PRANK MASTERZ, Polly is just as likely to prank someone as she is to actually throw down. Could be deadly, could be harmless. Just like real pranks!
• Call for a good time - Polly Geist. Polly Geist. Polly Geist. Can be used be friends and foes alike!
• How do you use this thing? - Solomon DeMorge's cane didn't come with an instruction manual, and while Polly is mostly competent in using it now, it still occasionally does things she doesn't expect. She, uh, accidentally brought a refrigerator to life last week. Brings a whole new meaning to Smart Fridge.

• Koohitsu:
  • Quick-witted and sharp-tongued.
  • Personable and easy to talk to casually, but no-nonsense while set on a task.
  • A bit of a thrill-seeker, especially when it involves moving at fast speeds.
  • Likes to spend time outdoors, going camping, roughing it out in the wilderness.
  • Generally distrusts overly wealthy people.
  • A bit cynical, but retains a child-like admiration for old-school, grand-standing villains.
• Kooshigo:
  • Reclusive and introverted. Does not like to stand out.
  • Analytical and precise. Good at organizing his thoughts and keeping things coordinated.
  • Appears humor-less, but his wit is actually so dry that it is hard to detect. Can come across as aloof.
  • Is happiest whenever he can sit in a secluded corner behind a computer screen.
  • Has no love for politicians.
  • Has some trouble overtly expressing his emotions and may appear apathetic, but has an appreciation for classical tales of valiant heroism and iconic heroes.

• Koohitsu:
  • Good survival instincts and knowledge. Is able to live off of the land and stay alive in the wild pretty much indefinitely.
  • Sneaky. Knows how to get in and out of places unseen, as well as conceal her presence when necessary.
  • Trained in basic self-defense. Can put up a good fight unarmed, or using weapons procured on-site. Comes pre-equipped with a fillet knife and the stick part of a collapsible oar.
  • Has an oarsman's badge and is excellent at operating river boats and rafts.
  • Has a pair of feathery wings on her back that are totally there, the artist was just too lazy to draw them, trust me. Using them she can fly relatively freely for about 20 minutes before tiring out.
  • Very eloquent. Good at leading conversations and getting people to divulge secrets.
• Kooshigo:
  • Very tech and computer-savvy. Can usually intuit how a piece of technology works by tinkering around with it for a few minutes.
  • Has a talent for solving logic puzzles and complex problems. If given enough time and access to information, he can generally come up with reliable plans to overcome all manners of difficult conundrums.
  • Good at multitasking.
  • Carries samples of a spice blend his grandparents used when they still owned their old family restaurant. It is a Sarasean powder with an unpronounceable name, so most just call it "Hot". Throwing "Hot" directly into an opponent's eyes or mouth will immediately incapacitate them with excruciating pain.
  • Can breathe fire after inhaling the smoke of dried fire flower leaves.
  • Has a pair of feathery wings on his back. They're retractable, that's why they aren't on the image. His don't have the 20 minute time limit, but he can not ascend higher than the point he took off from. His maximum height resets to his current position whenever he touches the ground.
• Both of them:
  • As Koopas, they can do pretty much everything a regular Koopa Troopa can, including retreating into their shells and shell-slide.
  • As a pair of siblings, they are able to tap into the mythical concept known as the "Bros. Attack" and execute complex combination moves. This means that, when they are physically together, their martial prowess increases dramatically.

• Koohitsu:
  • While her fighting competence is generally reliable against average opponents, she is just a normal person. Exceptionally skilled opponents, super-powered entities, or overwhelmingly large groups present a big problem for her.
  • She is not built for drawn-out fights. Her general strategy if engaged in open combat is to fight off the enemy until she sees an opening to escape.
  • Can be very stubborn. Often keeps pursuing an objective even if doing so becomes detrimental.
  • Has a phobia of horses.
• Kooshigo:
  • Gets easily overwhelmed with pushy or annoying people, or large crowds. Utterly incapable of small-talk. Breaks out in a rash whenever someone tries to talk to him about the weather or sports (unless it is mission-critical).
  • Tends to smoke dried fire flower leaves to calm his nerves whenever he gets too stressed. Enemies may be able to locate him by the smell of the smoke or the glimmer of heat in the dark.
  • When by himself and thus cut off from using Bros. Attacks, he has no fighting ability whatsoever. His only means of defense rely on striking by surprise and escaping, so if an opponent knows where he is or can trap him, he can be easily dealt with.
  • He becomes pretty useless if separated from his technology.
• Both of them:
  • The wings on their backs can pop off if their owner takes a significant amount of damage. They then need about one or two days to grow back.

BEEEEEAAARRRS said:

Name: Known as "Scaran"

Its/itself

Appearance:

Hunched over robot, entirely of some kind of strange shimmery material. If confronted, will stand upright to over 7 feet tall.

No appreciable face

Personality: Appears like a somewhat humanoid robot, but acts more animalistic. Prefers to slink around without being seen to scavenge for scrap metals and other materials.

Avoids detection wherever possible, but if it comes to a confrontation it'll be much like a bear- it will assess your threat level by body language, tone of voice, if you appear to have a tool or weapon drawn and how sharp or angular your overall shape is. Meanwhile it will stand up straight to its full height and become very still. It can also choose to freeze in place if it thinks it can avoid a confrontation this way.

Doesn't necessarily strike to kill, but if it has downed its opponent and can maintain stealth it really doesn't care what happens either way.

Apparently fully capable of speech but simply doesn't

Moves as minimally as possible to conserve energy, making it look very eerie in action, almost like witnessing CGI in the real world

The scavenging appears to entirely be a means to support itself, by finding scrap metal and other materials it can replace it's lost "cells" and spent lubrication

Backstory: Very much a mystery. Clearly some kind of wickedly sophisticated technology, but exact origins are hard to specify now. It's anyone's guess whether the tendency to be stealthy was by design, or something it learned.

Skills/powers: Its greatest strength comes from how it's body is built up of millions of nano-machines, held together with minute magnetic forces and an unusual lubrication substance inbetween the nano-machines that it can manipulate throughout it's system. This gives it a fully amorphous body that can be stretched, expanded, and reshaped at will, though at the cost of stored solar energy. (Doing common reshapes, such as changing the feet to be quieter based on terrain, would cost less because there's no more figuring out to be done)

Despite the mechanical appearance, the structure of the body makes it quieter to move than one might expect. Aside from footsteps, motions only make a soft noise akin to a falling pile of sand.

Also with regard to sound, it can recall voices and manipulate itself to mimic them. It's not perfect and likely wouldn't fool anyone since the replications sound somewhat metallic (think of a voice from a FAITH game), but if needing to cause confusion or psychological warfare it's a helpful trick.

Behaves animalistically, but has human capacity for intelligence- it can remember faces and places, use tools, learn languages, and problem solve. Worth noting is that it will pick up whatever tactics might be used against it, such as firearms, and figure out how to structure itself optimally to be a potent aimbot (which it would recognize is vastly optimal in terms of not having to move in a fight), but this can backfire too. If it doesn't witness someone reload for instance, it might not figure out how without witnessing it or finding instructions somewhere.

In a fight, it would prefer to use whatever weapons or tools are available to it to conserve resources, but if none are available it's own body will work just fine. It can increase the magnetic bonds to become incredibly strong, reform to have sharper edges, or even launch limbs as projectiles that will need to be reclaimed later. The finger turning into a spear trick from Terminator 2 is possible too, but the extra mass needed would have to draw from the forearm or something.

Defensively, it can reduce the density of it's form to soften blows, or even allow projectiles or knife strikes to phase through. If the body is separated, it can magnetically pull itself back together.

The nature of it's body means it would fully survive dismemberments and be able to fully walk off some if necessary. It's very likely to survive flattenings or explosions, but depending on the damage and cells lost, it would be at a great resource cost.

As a last resort or to fully intimidate, it can fully disperse to become a sort of angry dust cloud. Or, if dismembered, hold floating limbs in place instead of letting them fall to the ground. These tactics would require a lot of energy, ideal environmental conditions and would be especially susceptible to the elemental weaknesses below.

Weaknesses: The strange nature of the body also contains numerous caveats and weaknesses. First and foremost, fighting, reshaping and even regular movement costs energy and lubrication, so if these are to run out then the body would essentially die.

Being held together by magnetic forces, an EMP or strong magnet would cause tremendous stress on the cells, or even breakdown the body's function to keep itself together. Electricity would have a similar effect, but the lubrication acts as a insulator/ground so these are less dangerous.

Extreme heat from the sun can be shrugged off by the nature of the shiny material, as well as drawing solar energy. Extreme cold will not wreck the body, but it will cause the lubrication to stop working. Extreme heat from other sources will harm the body itself.

The body is mostly water proof, but full submersions could cause havoc on the lubrication.

In the instance the head is separated into pieces, they could continue to live similar to an earthworm. The "brain cells" work similar to a hard drive RAID array, where redundant material is stored in numerous locations to fill in gaps that might arise elsewhere. Assuming the rest of the body is also split into pieces, this would cause a great stress if the two halves reformed as two separate functional units. It's also possible they would no longer recognize each other and become completely separate (hostile) entities.

And ultimately, almost any confrontation, no matter how well it goes, will result in the loss of at least some nano-machines

Roles: Whatever works best, but the bestial nature probably makes it not well suited for any protagonist role

Notes: If you find the abilities OP I would have no problem if other characters discovered the weaknesses early on

I also don't really have any thoughts on what exactly happens with the collected scrap materials. If it can ingest it somehow or if it has to take it to some facility somewhere, it doesn't matter to me

Dr. Alexander Wexlyn
as seen in Awards Randomizer KG, Killing Game 8 (Minus World)​

• Possesses a deep understanding of human psychology, granting him +10 to Speech and the ability to form alliances even among his foes.
• Much like the other members of his family (though he wouldn't like to admit it), Dr. Alexander Wexlyn excels at pulling off complex plans across a long period of time, plans that even his allies don't expect - though they are almost always altruistic.
  • Experience in tabletop games and other forms of roleplay both for therapy and leisure, Dr. Wexlyn is a skilled actor and can successfully pull off all manner of disguises to facilitate this.
• As of Awards Randomizer KG, he possesses the ability to make fundamental changes to the workings of reality, provided the proposed changes pass a popular vote. It's unlikely that he'll get an arena full of people trying to beat him to death to agree on anything that will benefit him, but hey it's worth a shot.
  • Also possesses the ability to flip gravity in the area at will, but he can only do this once per night.
• Has a near endless supply of soda, which can clear a status effect when consumed. Somehow.

• Intelligent generally, he has a PhD after all.
• His sense of empathy grants him the ability to read people fairly well, and he is unlikely to be tricked.
• Strong sense of loyalty, will die to protect his comrades if necessary
  • Despite his kindness, he is willing to do whatever it takes to keep his friends safe - up to and including murder.
• Passing knowledge of magic and the supernatural, potentially allowing him to identify entities and abilities.
• Enjoys Garth Marenghi novels.

• Prone to depression if one of his friends or patients is harmed unjustly, unlikely to defend himself much if this happens.
• Despite his good intentions, his tendency to hide his plans from his allies can lead to suspicion and distrust.
• Almost too empathetic, unlikely to harm anyone who hasn't done him or anyone he knows any harm.
  • Never the aggressor unless provoked or slighted.
• Somewhat bad luck.
• Enjoys Garth Marenghi novels.

Soccer Dad Vector
as seen in The Scribble Scrabble 2023​

• Possesses all the powers of a middle-aged man, including the ability to legally purchase alcohol, as well as a full array of jokes nobody below the age of 30 finds funny.
• Is also a crocodile, meaning his jaw can exert a crushing force of 16,400 newtons.
  • When he catches someone, he can violently spin around to break every bone in their body.
  • If asked about this, he will comment on the unit being called newt-on when he is a crocodile.
• Taking off his wrist weights will increase his physical strength by 2.74%. He is not allowed to take off his gloves for legal reasons.
• Is licensed to operate several motorized vehicles, such as motor scooters, motor cycles, cars, tractors, trucks, and busses. He also owns a Winnebago.
  • Said Winnebago is stocked with camping supplies that will allow up to 3 people to comfortably survive in the wilderness for around 2 weeks. Also comes with a first aid kit, a survival handbook in the glove compartment, one crate of toilet paper, and a machine that makes highly specialized cappuccino.

• Very athletic for his age. Lots of upper-body strength.
• Plays a variety of sports on a regular basis, including soccer, golf, and tennis.
• Good at thinking on his feet. Skilled at procuring improvised weapons from his surroundings, as well as bluffing himself out of dangerous situations.
• Surprisingly effective at intimidation and interrogation. Likes to play bad cop.
• Absolutely uncrushable optimism. Remains a beacon of strength and morale even in the direst of circumstances. Immune to despair.
• Good with kids.

• Very reckless. May misread situations and endanger himself with a daring stunt if there aren't any level-headed people around to talk him out of it.
• Shitty parenting is his pet peeve. He will go berserk and try to beat the offender into a pulp if he witnesses it, regardless of any prior plans or current circumstances.
  • This also happens if someone tells him that adoptive parents aren't real parents.
• Bad at singing, yet incredibly likely to do so whenever he hears music.
• Parenting has softened his heart. He is thus incapable of willingly endangering children under the age of 15.

"Michele"
as seen in Chaos Mafia 2, and on Tuesdays...?​

• Bilingual in English and Italian.
• Capable of teleporting to any location, though with a very slow fade-in and fade-out time.
• Can immediately discern what day of the week it is without needing a calendar.
• Able to jump in to protect his allies to absorb damage meant for them and counterattack the opponent. This bypasses his teleportation speed, but this ability is entirely automatic and only triggers when he is within a close range of Vector or Wexlyn.

• Slightly stronger if the match takes place on a Tuesday
• Teleportation gives him great coverage at the beginning of a fight
• Relatively tanky, despite his stature
  • His small size also assists with dodging attacks
• Capable of appealing to the indomitable Italian spirit

• Teleportation takes several seconds to pull off, and he is vulnerable while phasing in, so it cannot be used as an escape or for sneaking up against an aware opponent
• High DEF, but low HP - size works against him here
• Latent Italian rage impairs reaction time if he is caught off guard and angered
• Because his guard and counterattack is automatic, it may trigger in unfortunate scenarios for him

Meldspar the Treasurer

• Pronouns: They/Them
• Age: Unknown
• Familiar, yet different.

An oracle who gave up watching the skies above in pursuit of earthen treasures, for they believe the sparkle of a single precious gem is more alluring than any star. As a shady, black-market treasurer, people only turn to them if they're desperate to obtain rare items, find precious ore deposits after a risky business gamble, or examine stolen weapons and objects for curses. They are exceedingly neutral in who they choose to assist, from the walled paradise's aristocrats to the outer wasteland bandits. Provided their client can cough up something that catches their eye upfront, anyone is worthy to receive Meldspar's wisdom, or their treasures. The phrase "Meldspar would know" is often whispered among the taverns of treasure-hunters.

They specialise in Telluric divination and magic, utilising sand patterns, runes carved into stone or fossilised bones, the ashes from burned sacred wood, and the reflected light from cut gems to cast spells, divine ore veins, and expunge curses. Typically this magic is drawn/channeled through their staff, a divining rod with a magic opalesque stone inlaid in its center, with multiple additional gems decorating the staff to amplify its power. Additionally, while they are an expert in identifying weapons, they are only proficient with daggers (but not obsidian ones, because we all know that's stupid).

They prefer to avoid combat, however. When meeting with a particularly risky client, they will often arrange a specified time and place to give them the chance to set up large magic circles and countermeasures in the event of an ambush to quickly dispatch adversaries, or at least buy enough time to escape. The sands are always made of quartz...

Their signature Giant Merchant Backpack is enchanted with lightweightedness, a spell Meldspar maintains while in contact with the bag. No matter how many rocks Meldspar carries, they only feel as if carting the backpack itself. Adversaries may find it difficult to carry the entire bag without it. Maintaining this spell is highly taxing, however. In a last ditch effort to protect their treasures and channel more magical energy into their combat, they will warp the bag to one of many locations in the desert, covered in sand. After defeating the adversary (or more often than not, fleeing), they will often spend days trekking to return to it. They keep a secondary pouch on their person for rations, stealth/invisibility/movement options, and the like for this endeavour. In spite of their growing collection, there is only one object within the bag that Meldspar treasures more than their own life, and if they cannot keep it, then no one shall. This self-inflicted, dangerous pilgrimage serves as their personal reminder.

Nonetheless, with their continued evasiveness, and willingness to work with anyone (so long as the price is right), they've remained alive and in neutral-positive standing with many, except for green-horned members of the authorities (the more corrupt ones keep them away from the stocks), or the particularly avaricious or bullheaded. Their perception of value is of course situational, and in dire straits they'll give themselves the worse end of the deal in order to replenish supplies or materials for spells. With preparation for social encounters, they can be a smooth talker, but can be caught off guard and turn mostly silent or offering single sentence, straight-to-the-point answers otherwise.

Of course, being willing to serve anyone means they're essentially serving no one but themselves, and this can cause a clash in ideals with those who value camradierie. Additionally, they are a large prescriber to the belief that the ends always justify the means, but they won't willingly pursue treasure out of their reach.

It is unknown how they arrived in this land, but one day rumors of a new oracle swirled around the desert sands. After being kidnapped by one of lesser-known groups of bandits, locked in a cell away from the night sky and only fed dried fish, they utilised their innate divination skills to identify cursed weapons and treasures in order to remain alive. Once they built up enough business accumen with the more susceptible members to begin trading and handling bandits on their own, they fled, and have remained in isolation ever since. Their goal is simply to live by the earth and for the earth, collecting precious stones and odd treasures and storing them on their person.

I don't particularly see Meldspar having a very large role, but go nuts.

TL; DR

• True neutral nomad treasure collector who lives for all precious treasure, but only dies for one.
• Offers their expertise in curses, treasure, and ore deposits to anyone who asks provided they can pay them in rare treasure, or something they perceive as valuable in the moment.
• Social hermit. Often needs preparation before meeting anyone. Their reputation is what grants them this privilege. Else, they can be easily caught off guard.
• Telluric magic specialist. Has a staff, daggers, and enchanted big merchant backpack they teleport as a last resort.
• Hates the stars and dislikes fish.

Dexter Hexley and Spooks (the Magical Cat™)
as seen in Investigations 4, Killing Game 9 (Minus World)​

• Dexter is a minor celebrity, or at least he was when he was younger and had talent. Nowadays, he might be able to swing a bit of clout with anyone familiar with junk late-2000s to early-2010s television. Maybe.
• Dexter is relatively skilled with firearms, being equipped with one as part of his role at the BPI. Though he possesses just a basic handgun, his aim is decent and he's not afraid to pull his gun if trouble arises.
  • Spooks is equipped with a built-in taser, specifically designed to register a high-voltage shock to dangerous paranormal Anomalies. When used against a human, this can pack a serious punch - though it serves to KO Anomalies as well just fine.
• Spooks, as a robot, possesses a hard metal body and high durability. While his glass screen serves as a "face", it's just for show and he can function perfectly fine if it or any other part of his body is damaged.
  • Dexter is just a dude. He is somewhat durable, but in that pathetic sort of cartoonish way.
• Dexter, despite his demeanor and reputation, is actually a fairly skilled investigator - even if he often fails to stick the landing in his theories. He is still quite competent when it comes to finding clues and analyzing opponents, and while his theories are unreliable, they often contain nuggets of truth that prove useful in taking down an opponent.
• Spooks is programmed to identify paranormal entities and categorize their anomalous abilities and traits using the system of magical energies known as "Esotera", split into the categories of Stellaric, Thalassic, Liturgic, Occultic, Telluric, Somatic, and Chaotic. In conjunction with Dexter's investigation skills, the duo can systematically identify the weaknesses and strength of various creatures.

• Familiarity with the supernatural across the board, unlikely to be frightened or taken off guard by any manner of magical power.
• Dexter is sneakier than you'd think.
  • depends how sneaky you think he is
• Spooks, due to his durability and status as a safety AI, is able to take a lot of damage and will absorb damage for Dexter whenever possible.
  • Spooks doesn't care about dying, his body is just a vessel and his AI can be transferred to a new body. He will happily die to save Dexter, and if this occurs, he can transfer to nearby discarded electronics - though he doesn't keep any of his physical abilities.
• Spooks is completely waterproof and heatproof, nearly immune to the elements.
• Spooks is capable of detecting magical presences in a radius, making the duo immune to sneak attacks using magic projectiles, teleportation, or invisibility
• Dexter can be very determined and vengeful if someone he is allied with is killed, especially if it's done to save him or anyone else he likes. Is vastly more competent across the board if this triggers.

• Spooks is an anxious wreck. As a safety AI, he tends to freak out over anything deemed unsafe and cause a fuss. He is unlikely to be stealthy at all, and too much stress can cause a brief vulnerability window as he crashes and reboots.
• Dexter is stubborn and unlikely to admit he is wrong in any situation. Can get himself into trouble this way pretty easily.
• Spooks is a pacifist unless someone assaults him or anyone under his protection.
  • He will never deal the finishing blow, Dexter will have to take the killshot, unless the death can be framed as an accident and therefore compliant with BPI safety outlines.
• As a machine, Spooks is vulnerable to EMPs or other mechanisms that can interfere with electronics such as malware or technomancy.
• Dexter has absolutely no outstanding physical characteristics whatsoever.
  • spooks is kind of cute though
• Dexter loves ginger ale, and will likely drop everything to go pour and drink a glass if he sees one.
