Personality Description: Thompson learned much from navigating the Oregon Wastes---most important of these lessons being that trusting others can---and will---get you killed. He comes off as selfish and self-centered, disregarding most human life for the sake of his own. 

Skills, powers and abilities: Thompson himself isn't much to look at. Tall, with a lean muscular build about him, while years as a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin have given him considerable experience in hand-to-hand combat and in the use of various types of infantry arms and heavy weapons. However, when Thompson steps into power armor--specifically the Pre-war T-51b power armor--he becomes more than a mere man. Thompson has modified his suit over the years, replacing its standard servomotors with unconventional silicon-based artificial muscle fibers, while the outer casing of the suit has been enhanced using cutting-edge chemical-based hardening techniques, augmentative ablative layering and trace amounts of carbon nanotubes threaded throughout the new and improved armor plating. 

Additional protection for the wearer is provided by way of a powerful electromagnetic field. The EMF is not constantly active however; passive in its operation, the shield only goes live when Thompson's on-board observation systems detects an incoming threat, stopping or deflecting incoming ballistic rounds (including artillery shells fired from high-powered weapons like coilguns, railguns or charged particle beams) and halting melee attacks entirely. Because of its vast power requirement, the field can only remain operable for twenty seconds (1 turn) before a recharge of the powerful capacitors it is slaved to is needed. When active, the field damages foes that draw too close, wrecking havoc on electrical equipment, organic and non-organic matter over time. 

While wearing his suit, Thompson can reach running speeds of over seventy miles per hour, while the T-51b---with its reinforced endoframe---is capable of lifting over ten tons. Coupled with the advanced alloys and composites incorporated into its overall design, Thompson's T-51b can endure attacks that would see a main battle tank crippled, 

Character Equipment: 

Type-62 DEW (or commonly referred to as the 'Tesla Cannon') [High]: Based on Tesla's proposed 'death ray' directed-energy weapon, the Type-62 DEW fires a stream of neutralized particles at a target using a combination of strong electromagnetic fields and a revolutionary from of plasma acceleration developed by the Canadian Enclave, with said particles achieving a maximum speed of nearly 297,750,000 meters per second. As the Type-62 is, for the most part, a light-speed weapon, dodging its destructive fury is virtually unfeasible save for the most extreme cases (with these cases normally dealing with the paranormal or the divine). The Type-62, on account of its characteristic and fundamental method of operation, is a infantry-scale anti-tank weapon with destructive power akin to that of an antimatter weapon, with most objects that suffer a hit from its payload normally outright exploding from the instantaneous excitement of their inherent molecules. 

Heat, range and energy consumption are two issues that prevent Thompson's signature weapon from being used in a customary manner. The cannon is equipped with its own independent power source, though its capacitors require a brief moment (one turn) to fully charge, with the cannon demanding additional cooling time (1 turn) before it can be used again. The Type-62 has an effective range of 3 miles, with the inverse-square law (and the overall instability of the particle stream) ensuring that the beam rapidly loses power as travel distance is accumulated. 

The 'Juiced' Fat Bomb [Intermediate]: 'Juiced' Fat Bombs are miniaturized nuclear fusion munitions that bear an unusual resemblance to the gun-type atomic bombs deployed against the Empire of Japan during WWII. Thompson never did get his hands on a Fat Man, so he merely arms the bombs with a twist of a button located at their noses and then proceeds to toss them as though they were footballs at a distant target. His helmet's computerized systems ensures that he is accurate in his throw, accounting for wind resistance, wind direction and even the world's gravitational field. A rocket motor mounted in the Fat Bombs do not explode on impact, but rather detonate when their integrated LIDAR systems report that their target is within their area-of-effect. Fat Bombs can trace their yields to that of a weak nuclear fission weapon, approximately 10,000 tons of TNT. 

Model 1887 [Low]: Nothing special about this lever-action shotgun. Forged using pre-war firearm blueprints (and a little luck), Thompson's Model 1887 has served him faithfully for nearly a decade. 

Character History: Thompson was born and raised in a pre-war Brotherhood of Steel bunker located within the Oregon Wasteland. Once he became of age and passed the necessary trials and and met the required formal expectations, Thompson was indoctrinated into the full-fledged military arm of the brotherhood. Doning power armor and energy weapon, Thompson and his comrades conducted strike missions against select Enclave targets over a period of five years. Still filled with wanderlust and loathing the rigid lifestyle of the Brotherhood of Steel, Clangston fled the bunker, striking out on his own, with his journeys taking him all throughout the western areas of the US and deep into the Canadian provinces.
