Character Info
Profile
He is the smartest in the room. Don't pretend to be smarter, you'll only embarrass yourself. How do you draw the line between confidence and arrogance? Well, if you're Baxter Stockman, it's not a necessary line to draw. If you're the best, then everyone will just have to learn to deal with it, or they won't deal with it, but that's their problem. He doesn't have time for their problems, he has more important things to do.

Personality
Arrogant:
Baxter is a highly intelligent man, and able to contend with some of the other greatest
minds in the world and even minds beyond the world. This doesn't mean he can't be outsmarted by an
oversight, but don't tell him that. His arrogance tends to show easily, and often is critical and
demeaning to others, even other highly intelligent people. He has a constant desire to have 'one up'
on everyone around him.
At the same time, someone who does manage to outfox him, or manages to
create a meaningful discovery or creation, might find themselves with a high, if not cold, level of
praise. He does not give compliments lightly or commonly, so those who earn them and know him know
full well that it is genuine. Unless he's on camera, then he'll say whatever might make him look
good.
Calculating:
As arrogant and self-absorbed as he is, Stockman's biggest priority is to win. Win at all
costs. That even includes the cost of his own dignity or reputation. He has no problem letting his
fear show in order to manipulate a situation or person.
He also has no qualms about
allying himself with his foes in order to accomplish something, for he is fully pragmatic and
utilitarian.
Narcissist:
It doesn't take a psychologist to know that Baxter Stockman is a complete narcissist of the
first order. He always believes he's the priority for his tasks. Despite his ability to wax eloquent
to the masses. Baxter Stockman is always Baxter Stockman's hero. Those who only see him on TV and in
news articles may not be able to notice it, but those who meet him in person often have little doubt
of his true nature.
Temper:
He isn't likely to explode in rage, at least not outwardly. He's far more likely to insult
those who disturb him. This can even go for people who have a great deal of power over him. He
wouldn't hesitate to belittle someone holding him at gun point if he thought that he could get away
with it, because anyone who puts him in a situation where he is losing, or threatened with potential
loss, earns his full wrath. He will hunt them down, he will destroy them, sometimes even at the cost
of his other objectives, throwing off his normally calculated strategies.
Character Sheet
Powers
Intelligence:
Baxter Stockman is one of the world's most advanced minds. Able to learn things at an
incredible rate, he might be mistaken as someone with a superhuman intelligence. The wouldn't
necessarily be wrong. But it's not through any serum or mutation, or physical augmentation. It's
just a combination of the way his mind works, a photographic memory, and a highly intellectual
capacity. There are few problems that he cannot wrap his head around to come up with a solution. And
there are few solutions that he won't implement, if he feels them beneficial to him.
Skills
Cross-Application:
Baxter has many degrees, and he doesn't pursue them for no reason. He seeks them out based
on their usefulness to his current plans, and has found countless ways to interlace his knowledge to
exponentially expand his capabilities.
Mastermind:
Baxter always has a plan. He's always five steps ahead of what most people see on the
surface. Whether it be his legitimate or criminal enterprises, one thing that his allies and enemies
alike will know about him is that what is seen on the surface is rarely the endgame.
Multiple Degrees:
Baxter has the following degrees:
Ph.D Robotic Engineering
Ph.D Genetic
Engineering
Ph.D Computer Science/Programming
Ph.D Neuroscience
Ph.D Quantum
Physics
MBA Business Administration
MBA Financial Accounting
Resources
Flyborgs:
Stockman's extensive research and experimentation with genetics has yielded quite a bit of
fruit. His most popular are his flyborgs. They are cybernetically enhanced mutant flies. Massively
reproducable, they have cybernetic mental controls, which he or another assigned user can utilize.
They can lift fifty times their body weight, or about 500 pounds (227 kg). They are small, making
them often a surprise to their foes, for they have strong enough exoskeletons that anything less
than an assault round will have trouble penetrating their natural armor.
Because they
have limited mental capacity, if the cybernetics are removed or disabled, they could be fodder for a
psychic, for they have almost no ability to resist. If they have no controller, and are given their
free will, they are primalistic, acting in a basic primalistic mode with a minimal ability to
speak.
They can fly about 40 mph, and given that they have gossamer wings, it is the weakest
part of their body.
Inventions:
As someone who is constantly pushing the envelope of discovery, Stockman is frequently seen
with a new robotic or genetic creation. Some of these are legitimate, and some of them are not, but
he can keep his enemies on their toes due to the radical creations that he may come up with to
counter his enemies.
M.o.u.s.e.r.s.:
Minefield Ordinance Unarming System Enhanced Robots. The mousers were designed by TCRI, the
military contract branch of StockGen. They can be set to automatic, filling a predetermined
function, or they can be remote controlled by a user. The advanced wireless connection makes them
able to even receive signals through large amounts of interference such as stone and metal.
Most mousers stand about one foot in heigh, and have jaws capable of producing over 3500 psi. They
were designed for the purpose of disposing of mines, and as such are incredibly durable. The
interior of their mouths can withstand that same amount of PSI, making them not only able to contain
the blast of most anti-personell mines, but also that of a shape charge or directional
explosive.
They are not invincible, as they can be more easily damaged and destroyed from
the outside, particularly at the neck and leg joints. They weigh approximately 9 lbs.
Mega Mousers: Mega Mousers are designed to contain significantly stronger amounts of explosives, and
are designed for situations where more significant threats may exist. Standing 9 feet in height and
weighing 1200 lbs, Their jaws have a psi of 90,000 PSI, able to contain significant C4 charge
explosions, though such might still destroy the mouser, it will protect anyone outside it's maw. In
addition, Megamousers are a remote arsenal, a dual purpose of being able to assist a military
operation with low yield seeker missiles, .50 caliber machine guns, and infrared sweepers.
Military Contracts:
Through his business with StockGen, Baxter has access to some military sensitive info, but of
course only as far as his contracts permit.
Staff:
What Stockman lacks in personality, he makes up for in paychecks. His staff often will stay
with him despite his lack of interpersonal skills because he offers solid benefits and very
competitive pay. Not to mention he usually has some sort of blackmail that can be enacted if they
ever tried to rat him out. That doesn't mean they are loyal to a person, but it means that he
definitely has manpower to carry out his plans.
Stockgen:
StockGen is a multi-national private enterprise that Baxter owns himself. There's no board
of directors to answer to. Just him. StockGen Tower is located in Midtown NYC, the headquarters for
all of Stockgen's business, and it also houses a good portion of the robotic engineering facilities.
In addition, there are laboratories scattered across the USA and the globe, with the highest
concentration of them being in the USA and in Europe. StockGen has several
departments:
Genetic Research
Reverse Engineering
Neuroscience
Robotic Engineering
and Design
Medical Robotic Design
Pharmaceutical Science
Military Research
Tcri:
Techno Cosmic Research Institute is a large technology firm that is a child company of StockGen.
It's focus is on Electronic and Robotic research, and is the birthplace of the MOUSERS and much of
the technology used in the Flyborgs. It has access to select government sensitive information (as
approved by staff for RP/TP purposes) as it usually the part of Stockman's resources taking part in
government research contracts for the military.
Weaknesses
Arrogant:
Baxter's arrogance is often his downfall. He has very little concept that he could be
outsmarted in virtually any situation. Even if he is thwarted, he often will attribute it to an
unknown incidental rather than being outclassed mentally.
Jerk:
While he's brilliant, Baxter has very bad interpersonal skills. He can perform on a level of
interacting professionally and even speak well in front of other people, but he has the congeniality
of a brick. Many people tend not to like him due to his tendency to insult others casually. Though,
this tendency also means they know if he's complimenting them, it's genuine.
Only Human:
Yes, Stockman has incredible technology, the sharpest of minds, and he's even in pretty good
physical shape. But he's not a trained combatant, and he only has a very ordinary human body. Given
that he tangles with characters often who have significant physical skills, powers, or physique, it
puts him at a great disadvantage if it comes to blows.
