But he will not get bionics due to the fact he will lose his sense of touch and hinder his ability to be a weaponsmith. Would you see a Weapons Expert as also being a Safe Cracker? Also what suggestion could you give me to make him an original character? I have thought maybe he was also a Supersoldier if that would be allow to be combined with the Hardware: Weapons Expert. The attributes below are the character's attrbiutes with out Physical Skill bonues added in.
Attributes: I.Q.: 21; M.E.: 15, M.A.: 20; P.S.: 15; P.P.: 24; P.E.: 15; P.B.: 18; Spd.: 21
Off the top of my head, the character could have grown up on the wrong side of the tracks, apprenticing to a safecracker or locksmith, but graduated to specializing in weapons modification later when he discovered a love and talent for guns.
Later arrested in an arms deal sting, he volunteered to be part of a super soldier program in exchange for a reduced sentence. As a result of the program, which involved some "wetware" organic circuitry implanted throughout his nervous system, he developed vastly increased reflexes. (If you have access to Powers Unlimited 2, the SupSol enhancements of Increased Agility and Dexterity, the Mind and Body are More Attuned, and/or Phenomenal Balance could be good choices to provide an "edge". If you don't, then the process could have given him the power of Extraordinary P.P., but I wouldn't allow any other superpowers. If you want to stick with cybernetics, a simple cyber eye with laser targeting capability could be used.)
Basically a good person at heart, now he tries to put his talents to positive use for the community. (Or, he's serving a term with the military/law enforcement organization for who he volunteered to undergo the SupSol process.)
All of his skill programs would be based on his "Hardware" legacy, and he wouldn't get any other benefits from the Super Soldier program aside from the above mentioned enhancements.
