Insaney v5.0

Mjolnir Mark IX Cyborg
(circa BOTP5)

Character Data
Name: Insaney (AKA Cyborg 10, The Insane Space Hunter, Insano... nobody actually calls him Insaney to any extent, though)
Age: 24
Race: Mjolnir Mark IX Cyborg (Genetically engineered, cybernetically enhanced human WAR MACHINE... not that anyone thinks of him as that, anyway)
Occupation: Chauffer, Freight Hauler, Bounty Hunter, Mechanic, Arms Instructor, Wrestler, Bodyguard
Physical Stats: Long dark brown hair, blue eyes, no scars, wears a blue and white Hawaiian shirt, torn-up jean shorts, and sandals.  He speaks with no accent.  (Unlike his previous adventures, he doesn't normally wear his servo-tech armor much)
Personal Stats: ISH was one of two cyborgs (Kane was the other) created to destroy the sleeping evil entity that was later destroyed mistakenly, however it was soon discovered that one (Kane) was too violent to be relied upon to save existence...so the project was scrapped.  However, Kane escaped and caused the explosion which sent ISH on his merry way through space and time.  ISH grew up under the tutelage of Samus Aran and Mr. Bojangles, with an upside-down brain that effectively caused him to forget the violent tendencies that were inherent in his design  (Also during this time Oh Heck was created to replace the first 2 failures.)  Due to sheer blind luck (and thanks to Billy Chilly's blunder in BOTP3: Revenge of the Posters) Kane was sucked into the same space-time reality as ISH.  Upon finding out his twin survived, ISH set out on a quest to meet Kane and perhaps discover some of whom he really was.  Kane's got different ideas, though.  View all ISH's History and what-such here: The Adventures of The Insane Space Hunter.
Other Info:
    Home Planet: Earth.
    Family: Psychopathic Space Hunter (twin cyborg), Oh Heck (his replacement), SimBen (deceased), SimBen 2 (alive, often mucks about with ISH because he's got nothing better to do and the parties are good)
    Friends: Outerverse, Fero, Samus Aran, Ffej, other assorted BOTP-ers
    Rivals: None, but like I said, Kane has other ideas.
    Enemies: Nobody in particular

Transportation or lack thereof: A beat-up YT-1300 freighter named the Quest of Insanity. Oh Heck owns the same ship under the name Quirk of Ingenuity, though one (or the other) of them is an estranged copy created by an evil entity for a temporary resting place while it recuperated from a battle with Oh Heck. The Quest was theoretically destroyed at one point, but interestingly enough, it turned up again during BOTP4. Kane, ISH's twin brother, owns a similar ship named the Quotient of Instability. The Quirk and the Quotient are both outfitted with heavier weapons than the Quest, but lack the all-knowing computer system created due to the ship's never-ending adventures through time and space. The computer, formerly located in the Hunter's dimension-spanning deranged mind, happily uploaded itself into its former home, the Quest, having gotten tired of 'borrowing' ISH's voicebox. It still makes its presence known, however.

Background: I've said it before and I'll say it again. Read The Adventures of The Insane Space Hunter... or at least Chapter 4.

ISH-O-Vision Color: tomcat
Character Skills:
A walking goofball.  His knowledge of martial arts and weaponry is astonishing, though nobody really knows because he never really deals with such things.  He's also exceptionally good at repairing starships and other miscellaneous pieces of equipment, even weapons, though weapons aren't his strong point.  Top-notch pilot, gunner, and combat expert...He's so out of tune with his abilities, it makes one wonder how many times his brain flipped over during hyper-transit through dimensions.  His weapon of choice is a pistol (carried in a shoulder sling), the fabled Mighty Stinger. Having picked up the new model at some point during BOTP4, this weapon is about the size of a Walther PPK and fires superpowerd bolts of coherent light. Well, actually, only one bolt--after one shot, the weapon must be reloaded. However, since it dumps all the power from one blaster cartridge into one shot, it also packs more of a punch than does any other blaster weapon on the market, short of perhaps a tank-mounted swivel cannon.  He also carries a rocket launcher while in his power armor, as well as a less-powerful pistol that has the upside of being able to shoot more than once per loading.  Other equipment includes: extra rockets, a copy of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a pair of chopsticks, and a sock puppet.  His cybernetic "shell" of skin and bone has been largely modified over his career, leaving most of his bone structure duranium alloy-enhanced, especially his skull, which is completely indestructible. Oh, yeah, his suit of power armor like unto that of the great Samus Aran.

Character Stats:
Regular Special: Rocket Launcher: It's a rocket launcher, dingbat. It hurts. A lot. While it's not in use, it's always slung across the back of his power armor (regardless of whether or not he's wearing it).

Regular Special: The High-Velocity Whimsically Ridiculous Unreliable Flying Headbutt of Insanity that Ensures Victory: This technique has been perfected after years of smashing his skull against everything in sight, including the inclusion of his cybernetically-enhanced legs to propel him like some sort of malformed projectile into whatever he's propelling himself into. This is his *favorite* move, which is partially why Kane learned it in order to battle ISH better. However, Kane hasn't had the years of headbutt training that Insaney has, leaving his headbutt potent, but less so than ISH's.

Powerful Special: It Takes Two To Tango: Well, after uploading the Quest of Insanity's computer back into the Quest of Insanity after a five- or six-year vacation, ISH discovered that the computer could still transmit itself into another data housing like it had when it left the Quest in the first place. A strategy that they have perfected is one where the Computer downloads itself into ISH's power armor and takes control of the suit's servomotors, and attacks in tandem with the Hunter. It employs the rocket launcher and the low-slung heavy blaster pistol and fights as ISH has taught it--including headbutts and a lot of funny-looking dance moves--and does it all rather well. The computer also has an innate understanding of most everything in existence, for some reason, and uses this to its advantage. Since the Hunter doesn't wear his armor much anymore, the computer has been known to dive in when it thinks it necessary (and it ought to know, being that it knows pretty much everything anyway). It's not as skilled in battle as a hardened warrior or the Hunter, but offering the Hunter supportive fire from the rocket launcher never hurt anything. Well, other than ISH's opponents.

Pictographic Visualization:

Well, first off, DamnGlitch (with us in spirit if not in killing each other off) has provided me with some bitchin' character art for ISH.  Having the artistic skills of a brain-dead squid that's been hit by a lawnmower and run over by a Mack truck, I could never have done so myself... so thanks go out to him.

So, on with the images... this time, no armor.  So you can peer into the whimsicality of the character.  Or some existential writer's crap like that... just look at the darn images, already.
