Health: Karma:

Origin:

Unlike many of the operatives that the Medusa Web utilizes in the field, Dustoff is naught but a normal human, lacking paranormal powers of any kind. However, while he has no special combat abilities, or an arsenal like Potiphar has, Dustoff is a top-notch pilot capable of dealing with most high-risk operations.

Known Powers:

(none)

Equipment:

Colt M1911A1 Pistol: though he usually doesn't have to defend himself, as he often has several Medusa Web ops with him on a given mission, Dustoff carries this piece just in case, which he can use to inflict Typical (6) Shooting damage per shot, +1 CS in a semi-auto burst; this gun can fire eight rounds per clip.

Helmet: always worn while on the job, this crash helmet helps Dustoff to avoid nasty head injuries that can occur whenever he crashes his ride, or is otherwise put in jeopardy while working for the Medusa Web. It offers his head Good (10) protection from physical attack of all types.

Knife: in the event that he runs out of ammunition and must defend himself in a pinch, Dustoff typically carries a blade with him, one he can use to inflict Typical (6) Edged Attack damage per strike. It is of Remarkable (30) m.s., and can be used to cut through items of equal or less m.s.

Medusa Web Helicopter: Dustoff's regular vehicle on the job, this sleek copter is sort of a cross between a troop transport vehicle and a mobile base of operations for Babel while he's running a mission. The vehicle itself is black, unarmed in and of itself, and possessed of these vehicle stats and features:

* Armor Plating: this helicopter has been designed with hostile landings in mind. You see, it has thick armor plating situated across the craft, plating that provides the vehicle the Protection rating listed above - Good (10) - which adds to the defense of anybody within the helicopter if it is attacked.

* Communications Suite: allowing Babel to command a mission in the field, this suite is equipped with a Good (10) ranked telecommunications array, allowing him to talk to any of his operatives who are functional within 1000 miles - though their own headsets usually limit this to a 'mere' 100 miles.

* Flight: the primary function of Dustoff's transport helicopter, this capability demonstrates the vehicle's ability to move through the air at the Speed rating listed above, namely, between 150 and 180 miles per hour, depending on inclement weather and such. This is an Excellent (20) ranked equipment power.

Quirks:

(none)

Talents:

Aerial Combat: while he is indeed a competent pilot of both helicopters and airplanes, Dustoff's true capabilities as a pilot shine whenever he gets in a dogfight of some sort. When this happens, Dustoff can utilize the weaponry of the aircraft he's currently in at the applicable ability score +1 CS.

Guns: whether it be a standard, semi-automatic, or fully automatic rifle or pistol, Dustoff can make use of it with competence. In combat - or if merely on the training course - Dustoff can fire any such weapon - barring directed energy emitters - as though his Agy score was +1 CS higher than is listed above.

Martial Arts type B: essential military training no matter where you are, this talent represents Dustoff's ability to defend himself should he find himself unarmed on the job. In other words, should he find himself without weaponry of any sort, he can still fight unarmed as though his Ftg score was +1 CS in rank.

Military: since he's a competent pilot with combat experience, it's likely that Dustoff has experience in the military, most likely the American one based on his dialog. Thus, he knows military protocols like the back of his hand, and has more military contacts than one can shake a really big stick at.

Pilot / Air: his claim to fame, this talent represents the particular talent that makes Dustoff useful to the Medusa Web. Oh sure, they have plenty of pilots, but he's their best, and the field ops know it. He can attempt any aerial maneuver as through his Agy (or the aircraft's control rating) was +1 CS in rank.

Repair / Tinkering: Dustoff has demonstrated more than competent electromechanical skills in the past, particularly when his helicopter was knocked out of the sky in his last documented mission. He should make all repair or tinkering based FEAT rolls at a +1 CS to his Rsn score.

Contacts:

As a member of the Medusa Web, Dustoff can presumably gain the assistance of his fellows should he need it; after all, he's on relatively good terms with most of the Web's paranormal field operatives. However, should it be more convenient for the Web not to help him, he's pretty much on his own.

Costume:

When he's on the job, Dustoff typically wears a standardized set of clothes, one that normally includes a heavy duty pair of pants, a long sleeved shirt, a leather flight jacket (normally brown), gloves, glossy black boots, a brown leather belt, his mirrored sunglasses, and of course, his white flight helmet that has 'make war not love' written on it.

Personality:

Dustoff comes across as a cool, collected individual, rarely - if ever - letting anything rattle him. Of course, considering his occupation, getting unnerved typically means he's dead, so he projects a high level of confidence no matter what he's feeling... and it keeps him alive.

Story:

Little is actually known about Dustoff's background, though some of it can be inferred simply by looking at his capabilities, behavior, and general style of speech. It looks like he has an Air Force background, in that he's a more than competent helicopter pilot, and just as handy in an aerial firefight or not.

However, it looks like the Medusa Web made him a better offer, for he's been flying for them for several years. His first documented mission involved him flying a large portion of the team to San Diego, so they could complete a contract on the renegade group of paranormal youths the government calls Psi-Force.

His next documented mission got him a little more involved in the action, as the Web was called in to rescue the same group from the Siberian Project about a year later, and while the two groups made good on their escape after Psi-Force was liberated, Dustoff's copter was damaged by a Soviet attack!

Of course, the demonic paranormal calling himself Rodstvow chose that moment to attack the assembled paranormals. Having nowhere near the firepower needed to fight the monster, Dustoff simply did what he does best, and got his machine up and running in time for the paranormals to flee the scene.

After they'd dealt with Rodstvow once and for all, that is. It is assumed that Dustoff has been involved with many, many more missions for the Medusa Web, both before his first documented account and during the War, the final world-wide armed conflict the earth would inflict on itself.

However, accounts of these missions have yet to be revealed...
