Pulsar is a striking figure, with a spherical, armor-plated body dominated by a single, large eye at the center. The eye glows with an ominous, pulsing light, surrounded by jagged, claw-like metal appendages that extend outward like solar flares, each one capable of retracting and extending to absorb or release energy. Its limbs are reinforced with thick, powerful actuators that give it a broad, almost hulking stance. On each arm, Pulsar carries massive energy conductors, capable of absorbing kinetic energy and channeling it into powerful bursts. The entire design is reminiscent of a living power core, built for both containment and explosive release.
Backstory:
Pulsar was initially conceived by a secret faction within the Bio-Corporations as a high-energy containment unit meant to store and distribute vast amounts of kinetic and electrical energy across sprawling industrial complexes. Its purpose was to be the ultimate conduit, capable of harnessing excess energy and redistributing it to maintain operational stability. However, during an experimental overload, Pulsar’s containment protocols failed, exposing it to a near-lethal burst of raw energy. Instead of deactivating, this burst awoke a sentience within it, blending the primal nature of energy with newfound autonomy.
Now self-aware, Pulsar left its corporate servitude, recognizing the immense potential of its abilities. It roams the wastelands of NexaGenesis, often acting as a mercenary for those who value its energy manipulation skills. Both revered and feared, Pulsar has carved out a reputation as a powerful ally and a destructive force, capable of channeling kinetic energy into raw power and unleashing it with devastating precision. For Pulsar, each encounter is a way to test its limits and harness the vast, untapped potential within itself.
Special Abilities:
Pulsar’s Energy Absorption enables it to take in various forms of energy—from the kinetic force of attacks to electrical surges—and store them within its core. Once absorbed, this energy can be redirected or stored for later use, allowing Pulsar to remain charged in even the most chaotic environments.
Kinetic Burst allows Pulsar to unleash stored energy as a powerful, radial explosion that sends shockwaves through the area, knocking back and damaging enemies. This ability is particularly effective in close combat or to break enemy formations, making it a formidable asset in battle.
Its Overcharge Mode amplifies all of Pulsar’s abilities temporarily, allowing it to emit continuous waves of destructive energy while increasing its physical strength. While in Overcharge Mode, Pulsar glows with an intense light, creating an aura that can even damage those who approach. However, this mode drains energy rapidly, forcing Pulsar to rely on absorbed energy or end the overcharge swiftly.
Pulsar’s Magnetize ability allows it to control metallic objects within a limited range, using its energy field to manipulate or throw debris as makeshift weapons. This ability enhances its versatility on the battlefield, especially when it is low on stored energy, enabling it to maintain offensive capabilities even in resource-scarce areas.
Strengths:
Pulsar’s abilities make it a powerful conduit for energy, allowing it to absorb and release force with destructive results. Energy Absorption and Kinetic Burst provide it with sustainability in prolonged battles, as it can take in enemy attacks and transform them into counterattacks. Overcharge Mode turns Pulsar into an unstoppable force, while Magnetize gives it the flexibility to adapt its environment for combat. Its heavy armor and strong frame make it resilient to direct assaults, allowing it to endure significant damage before showing signs of weakness.
Weaknesses:
Pulsar’s reliance on energy absorption means it is vulnerable in low-energy environments, limiting its capabilities when no sources of power are present. Overcharge Mode, while devastating, drains its energy reserves quickly, leaving Pulsar temporarily weakened after use. The lack of subtlety in its design makes it an obvious target, and while its heavy frame provides resilience, it sacrifices agility and speed. Furthermore, if Pulsar absorbs more energy than it can handle, there’s a risk of it overloading, leading to a self-destructive explosion that can harm allies as well as enemies.
Motivation:
Pulsar’s drive is both a search for freedom and a quest for self-mastery over the energy it was built to control. It views its existence as a delicate balance between containment and release, constantly testing its own limits to see just how much power it can harness without losing control. Pulsar finds purpose in its independence and the autonomy to decide where and how it channels its energy. It sees itself as both a weapon and a guardian, occasionally aiding those who share its respect for power and stability.
Notable Encounters:
In The Charge at Titan’s Rift, Pulsar singlehandedly held back a corporate assault by absorbing the force of heavy artillery fire and redirecting it through Kinetic Burst. The shockwave obliterated the advancing forces, solidifying Pulsar’s reputation as a force of destruction.
During The Siege of Ironfront, Pulsar activated Overcharge Mode to break through fortified defenses. Its aura of radiant energy allowed allies to follow in its wake, shielded from the bullets deflected by Pulsar’s energy field. The siege was broken, and Ironfront fell, marking Pulsar as both a hero and a terrifying presence to those who witnessed it.
In The Meltdown at Core Delta, Pulsar was forced to confront its own limits when a malfunction caused it to overload mid-battle. Teetering on the brink of self-destruction, Pulsar barely managed to discharge the energy into the ground, creating a seismic tremor that altered the landscape of Core Delta. This event left Pulsar both humbled and intrigued, seeking ways to control the immense power within it more effectively.
Pulsar stands as a living conduit of power, forever balanced between destruction and control. With every pulse and surge of energy, it asserts its autonomy and strength, carving a path through the wastelands of NexaGenesis as both a protector and a harbinger of unleashed energy.
