Hawk Cranston, heroic and personal partner; RR, she set him up with assistance
Day Job if any
on homeworld - power plant operator; on Twoarth, assists Hawk

As below, wound up somehow transported from one dimension to another; his world had been in progress but Astra's site is long gone so I don't know what it was all about
Curiosity! Unafraid, and loves to explore
While some are normal abilities for his people the Centuran, he is mutated by the radioactivity he worked with, and has more, see below
Technical and engineering specialty, but is distracted by crime - stop that right now!
Young and impulsive, too curious for his own good; unafraid... of anything.
While he sometimes does consider himself Velociti's sidekick, Hawk has never treated him as anything other than an equal partner
He doesn't rely on strength feats for his heroism, but he'll still be able to contribute to a brawl
Physically he is pretty typical, but does still have quite a bit of youthful energy
He can twirl a pencil in his clawed fingers without poking someone's eye out, but otherwise uses his manual dexterity for video gaming and data entry
If he hadn't already been exposed to weird radiation he still has a penchant for getting into spaces that most people don't exactly belong, climbing or scooching into tight spots, he's quite flexible
Smart and witty, always with a look in his eye that says 'he can improve on this thing' or 'I wonder what this thing does let's take it apart!'
That work he's doing at the plant is actually very specialized, but he is not afraid to learn new things and always digs up interesting information on the fly
While he's young and reasonably gregarious, he isn't practiced at it, and would still rather be hanging out with heroes and nerds than hamming it up on a stage or at a party
Even on his homeworld he's considered 'a catch' though nothing particuarly special about his base features - he's healthy and tall and here he's a dragon among bipeds, thankfully he's also a biped right?
Thoon can enter a room quietly enough, it's just when he starts investigating the rest of the mansion ... people don't always notice...
This kid is kinda stupid-smart, because he will absolutely investigate that whole mansion even including the spooky basement and the boarded-up 'do not enter' room up in the attic
Thoon, or Emerald Dynamo, has a good reserve of heroic power at his disposal, and can keep it up a while, but also can't really turn it 'off' entirely
Heroically his style and abilities are still under construction, he knows heroes need a training montage, let's do that this weekend!

ALLIGNMENT INFORMATION

Weakest --> Strongest; Good --> Evil / Order--> Chaos; Little --> Most

Drive
Orientation
Empathy

Emerald Dynamo is a Hero with a capital H. He does know that the world also needs power plant experts and janitors and grammas knitting on the porch, but he very much enjoys his duties on patrol While Thoon is smart and powerful, he is also still a little reckless and rash in his decisionmaking, so though he will definitely come to your aid, he will possibly be leaving the oven on at home to do it He loves being a hero, not just because of the ways he can blow off steam like some guys, but because he truly loves to see people safe and sound

Powers

Science-Based Accident Provided Powers! Film At Eleven! - Thoon was just doing his job at the plant, maybe a little distracted by a police scanner (he'd always loved listening in just in case a hero showed up to a scene) when Something Happened. It wasn't his fault, something entirely outside of his location and control occurred - very, very possibly akin to the Resonance Cascade or the Synchronicity Events in other dimensions - which meant that the radioactive substances he was monitoring started monitoring him right back. Normally one might not survive this, but Thoon definitely did! His body didn't really change, but he did start glowing with bright electric power, he'd become a dynamo processing that radiation in fact. He still needs to find a place that can adequately assess his output and help with mitigating any incidental issues. Beyond that, though he's always been one to start experimenting and has documented his results extensively!

-- Radioactively Rechargeable Power Supply, this goes both in and out, he can store energy in the form of that bright green radiation and with concentration can keep it inside long enough to reach a destination, and dump it into a collection area, providing actual power to electric devices nearby and recharging any battery of any type... though he has to be careful with those ones that poof up and explode. He can safely carry a 'full' capacity of radiation for about an hour, and can go well beyond 'safe' levels but also either with that or with added delays he will begin 'leaking' energy, sometimes deadly energy

-- Energy Manipulation, He has learned how to control the output to do many different effects, from simply 'lighting up' an area with an eerie green glow and a zappy crackle, to throwing bolts of lightning that are sparked by his heat or - something. He's trying to figure out whether his lightning is inherently tied to that radiation, and if it is not, wants to learn to separate it out. This is entirely likely, one is an internal and the other an external force. His lightning can zap small electronics into life or fry entire server rooms, so he has to be paying attention when he's excited about things, as this will respond to his emotional state or his lack of concentration. The powerful bolts he can throw will blow holes in things, leave scorch marks, and definitely can kill a normal person so he has to be very, very sure about his targets and he knows that much at least!

-- Radiation Soaking, Emerald Dynamo is there when you have a radiation leak, and he can take up the excess energy into his own body, adding it to his reserves. There is a limit to this, since he produces it himself, so he often lets loose or burns off as much as he can before entering an area that is known to be leaking rads. It replenishes him, and he's never experienced any radiation sickness no matter the source... even before the incident...

-- Wingless Flight, though his people are 'draconic' they are not fully fledged dragons, and have no wings. But that's hardly ever stopped half their heroes from flying through the skies over their high-tech cities! Now he is among them, using his radiation somehow, probably to excite molecules in a very specific manner allowing him to leap into the air and remain there in motion. He can't hover very well, it winds up a choking cloud of green radiation under him, but he's working on that. It gets him where he needs to be, and he can change direction incredibly quickly, basically whatever he's looking at can be a new lead, and he takes that as a guide while flying. He can keep up this flight almost indefinitely, it hardly 'costs' him much endurance

-- Portal Creation? Electronic and Data Sense? He's trying very hard to master his powers, and some day they will come completely under his control. These are things he can do, but not at will, they sort of just 'happen', that's how he wound up at Portal Corp in the first place, just showed up with a bit of surprise. At times he claims he can 'hear the internet', able to tap into the wireless bandwidths and potentially the computer systems using energy around himself, but he also has to be careful doing so because he, as above, can wipe an entire server room of its contents in moments if he's not paying attention...

Clusters

Trained For Nuclear Regulation +4 Even before he became a heroically-enabled person, Thoon knew that he wanted to work with power and energy. On his world, his formal education was complete and he had at least two full years of further education and training for his chosen career. He understands power infrastructure, dangers, mitigation, and many other factors of how to build, maintain, and use many forms of power plants. Not just nuclear, he can assist with hydroelectric dams, wind generators, geothermal, and tidal force generators, though to less and less expertise in that order. If it requires math, code, calculations, and charts, he can do it! He knows how to lay out circuit boards as well as toggle switch controls in command centers, and would like to continue doing this for a living should he ever need to. He is called upon for specific duties at the San Oh!Nofre power plant near Crescent City, and if any kind of radiation is discovered during an earthquake or incident he is definitely on call for that too

Math Genius? +2 Though not really a power, he definitely aced all those math courses and can do extensive calculations in his mind no muss no fuss. This applies to his instructions and coding, networking, and safety as well

Skills

Reads The Manual +4 He's no dummy, he can point out inconsistencies and help tech writers get the correct information down in ways that the technicians can actually use. Not just a simple 'slot a tab b' he is well familiar with how to research and consult experts as well as historic data to understand a location and its needs

Nerdy Pursuits +4 Code, programming, gaming, world mapping technologies, communication networks, inter and intrawebs, they are so much fun why are your eyes glazing over when he starts describing the code he's using?

Navigational Pro +3 from above, from the ground, in tunnels, he's definitely good with 3-d spaces and moving around in them. Since his power to fly is extremely attuned to his sense of direction and desire to 'get there quickly' he can rapidly formulate ways to get everyone else there too, safely, without running a single red-light!

Knacks

Easily Distracted For Heroic Duties +3/-2 While his actions are truly heroic and he definitely means to rid the world of dangers, he will sometimes forget that he's trying to do the grocery shopping if there's a robbery up the block... Any villain might notice this, and use their own kinds of distraction if they are any 'good' at being bad...

Heroically Stylish +2 He's still starting out, but with Hawk's financing and connections, he's gotten the benefits of a nice super-suit that does help dampen the excess radiation to a degree, and also looks great with the cape flapping as he flies!

Still Young Enough To Be In College +2 And since C4 is definitely part of the arrangement for instruction duties, he is constantly surrounded by age-mates and swooning hero-watchers. But he does only have eyes for Hawk! Though he will bring him to some parties, those days are a bit behind the slightly older and more gentlemanly hero...

Period

Class Teaching + Specialties in class

Though he is still in the process of becoming fully accredited to teach, his skill and expertise will put him directly on staff pretty soon, but also assists in several classes;
^uses Heroic identity in this role, so the randomizer for classes will have both Ongar and Emerald Dynamo described

1 Introduction to Trigonometry (had been subbing but is fit for the job)
2 Laboratory Procedure and Safety (Research and Industrial)
3 ^Radiation Is Your Friend (... is it though? assists on some projects)
^Gadgeteering and Accessible Foci (assistant only with Cranston)
4  
5 Steam Tech and Alternate Power Sources (Nuclear, assists)
6 ^Gadgeteering and Accessible Foci (assistant only with Cranston)
7  
8 Advanced Statistics (also subbing and taking over this period)

Gift Exchange from Astra February 07 (originally asked in july 2006... that's why I was confused)

***

Retail Retali8r and her dragon friends scored bigtime when they located a parallel universe filled with dragon people! Most of the time, these folks were pretty normal, but they had their share of masterminds, mad geniuses, evil overlords, and of course heroes! In this other world, RR met up with a speedy black-and-red hero who was curious to see Lethayukulen and she in action! After helping him defeat his version of Nemesis (a strangely built draconic robot version that is), RR and Letha invited him back to their universe.

Once in the safety of Rita's home, atop a sedate Eastgate Hills apartment complex, Velociti transformed back into his everyday persona and introduced himself properly, as Hawk Cranston, dragon about town. They shared their experiences, how oddly similar names kept coming up.

So for a while at least, Velociti will be zipping around town with RR and Letha! What adventures might they have next?

***

Well this answers that question! Having tumbled through a Portal Corp dimension gate and been in isolation for a number of weeks after his arrival, a draconic looking Centuran was presented to Rita.

"You might know best, you know," said the girl behind the counter, "because of the dragons and stuff. We can't help but wonder what they use to teleport around."

"The same thing I do," Retail Retali8r laughed, "power, baby, power."

The softly glowing draconic male stepped forward and bowed. "Some day I'd like to go home, but only when I've mastered this mess I've made of myself." He indicated the bolts of tangy radioactive energy that would occasionally spill out from his clawed hands.

They learned his name was Thoon Ongar, but what he wanted to call himself here was the Emerald Dynamo!

"We'll get you set up," Hawk said, and outside on the Portal Corp grounds they heard a trill from Lethayukulen indicating he was a bit intimidated by the dozens of gawking superheroes.

"Portal Corp is like that!" Rita called out to the green dragon. "Would you rather be gawked at by civilians?"

It was pretty clear when they exited the building, that indeed - Letha liked it more when it was kids or folks who didn't fly around on their own.

"Why, I think he may be a bit jealous," Thoon said, "but you can fly! Come along, I would like to see more of this place!" He lifted up into the air, and the dragon followed happily.

"Well fine," Rita grumbled as Velociti took off below them. "But watch out for the Crey snipers!"

***

Rita also introduced the couple of heroic dragons to 'this place on the left coast', where she claimed they could still be heroes as well as 'be heroes to specific people too'. Those specific people turned out to be ... kids at a high school! Well, also a community college, apparently, which made some amount of sense, to both of them, because of the nature of their classes. Even though Thoon and Hawk both could choose to instruct in their 'day job' identities things like math and science and engineering, they also could don their heroic forms and teach young(er) heroes the ropes!

They continued to look at the local dragons, full sized, flighted or aquatic or feathered and - all amazing dragons. Even though they were from radically different worlds, both men were slightly humbled at the sight of so many graceful fledglings and grown dragons flying over the school during one of their parade style events.

It was Rita again that came to their sides, "You'll be found by yours, some time," she said, and teleported away like she always did.
