Calvin Scott
Calvin Scott was formerly one of the leaders of the Praetorian Resistance. During the events of the Praetorian War, the Resistance became fractured after the rescue of Aurora Borealis, Calvin Scott's purported wife. After her rescue from the Seer Network, it was revealed that her rescue, which was his main motivation in provoking the war against Emperor Cole , was only the delusions of a mad man, as Aurora was not his wife, but his psychiatrist. Despite the revelation, however, there were many who remained loyal to Calvin Scott, for even though his original goals were delusions, what he stood for was very real and very right. The Unified Praetorian Army was formed in the aftermath of his split from the Resistance, fighting against Cole in the late stages of the Praetorian War. When he and his loyalists escaped to Primal Earth, the name changed to the Unified People's Army, to better reflect their belief that all of humanity should rally to his cause. Calvin Scott now commands a combined army of Resistance and Imperial forces, along with a small number of Primal citizens. He, and they, seek to change Primal Earth and bring about a better tomorrow.
Powers
Snap Shots Ranged, High DoT (Lethal/Energy), -Regen (Foe), -Fly (Foe)
You fire both plasma pistols at once at a single target. Firing both pistols at once is slower than a single shot, but deals more damage, and the target may get knocked down by the force of the impact. The target also suffers reduced regeneration.
Aimed Shot Ranged, Extreme DMG (Lethal/Energy), -Regen (Foe), -Fly (Foe)
You quickly fire a round from one of your plasma pistols. Your target suffers lethal and energy damage, as well as a reduction in their regeneration.
Overcharged Shots Ranged (Targeted AoE), High DMG (Lethal/Energy), Minor DoT (Fire), -Regen (Foe), -Fly (Foe)
You fire an overcharged round from one of your plasma pistols. This causes a burst of energy to be released on impact that can affect several targets, who suffer lethal and energy damage, as well as a reduction in their regeneration. Affected targets will also be set on fire.
Fusillade Ranged (Cone), Superior DMG (Lethal/Energy), -Regen (Foe), -Fly (Foe)
You quickly fire several shots from your plasma pistols. These can hit multiple targets, causing lethal and energy damage. Affected targets also suffer a reduction in their regeneration.
Minelayer Mines
You begin dropping proximity mines around the battlefield.
- Resistance Resistance
The Explosive Trap is fragile, but cannot be affected by secondary effects like Sleep, Disorient, or Fear.
Crusader's Fury Auto (Self), +ToHit, +DEF(All), +DMG(All), +Perception
You are driven by an unrelenting fury. It boosts your awareness significantly, improving your chance to hit and perception. Additionally, you are acutely aware of the conditions on the battlefield, enabling you to better defend yourself and attack your foes, manifesting as increased defense and damage potential.
Archvillain's Might Resistance
Arch-villains are very powerful individuals, and as such have significant resistance to many status effects. They are not immune, however, and can be vulnerable for brief windows of opportunity.
