Birth Name: Dr. Deidrich Allister
Assigned Name: Mr. Allen Deed
Age: 90 (physiological 50)
Psychological Profile)
Allister is a borderline sociopath. He is a former nazi scientist and war criminal who escaped Nuremberg in the same program that naturalized Werner Von Braun, and Josef Mengele. A bit of a coward, Deidrich has a tendency to want to weasel himself into positions of secondary power.
Despite all this, he is committed to Earth, as a whole, and committed, above all else, to the Hippocratic Oath (twisted though his vision of it may be.) The Dr. Is morally well-suited to his position, having twisted but justifiable morals, and being no stranger to egregious acts in pursuit of those goals.
Medical History)
Served as his own test subject in a nazi supersoldier experiment.
The original primitive inspiration of the project was his own aggressive mapping of his unique personal genome. He thought he'd figured out how to turn people into supersoldiers. It was 1934 and he was even further on the cutting edge than he'd realized. He'd figured out how to do this to himself, without realizing it was a unique process to each subject. The project was in danger of being shut down after many gruesome and preventable deaths with naught to show for it. Convinced his calculations weren't wrong, he injected himself.
The result? Accelerated healing and all that it implies. Extended lifespan, Increased anabolic, aerobic, and anaerobic endurance. Increased strength, as workouts are far more effective (if physical exercise were more of a priority for Dr. Allister , this effect might have been far more pronounced.) Were this process to be replicated it would necessitate a complete genetic map of the individual in question, and an extraordinary amount of computation. Perhaps with the aid of a highly skilled programmer, this process MIGHT be feasible on any kind industrial level, but the Doctor has long since moved on to the other pursuits.
Dr. Allister has an irrational disregard for cybernetics, seeing genetic modification as a sort of macguffin for all human ills.
Technical Proficiency)
Dr. Deidrich Allister is, without much argument, one of the most brilliant medical minds on the planet. As a consultant for the CDC, he performed the very first extraterrestrial autopsy. He has likely contributed as much to modern genetics as Monsanto or Mengels. He is virtually without peer in his chosen field.. Additionally, an expert at General Practice and First Aid.
History With the Organization)
This man is one of the world's premiere extraterrestrial biologists. Brought on as a "consultant" with both the CIA and CDC in the late 40's, he quickly became the go-to-guy for accurate theories on alien anatomy.
A near founding member, yes, but a socially and morally backwards nerd, nonetheless. Deidrich has always been distant and detached. His enhanced lifespan has only exacerbated this. Caught up in his chosen life as a researcher, he knows less about what's really going on than some rookies.
I wonder if this isn't quite right, power-level or story-wise, but I think its a solid starting concept. Feel free to criticize and instruct redrafts at will. I'm pretty confident I've been deliberately vague enough to adapt to whatever power balance we end up with.
Also, for the record, I'm an RPer, not a neo-nazi. Heroes with questionable motives are interesting to me. I kind of hate this guy, too, but I still want him to be my char, if I can.
[EDIT:] "Quote: @holobunny: ...He might be tougher, stronger, faster than most people, but he won't be reaching superhuman levels like Captain America...."
Understood. I had intended his 'powers' to allow him to be an academic, but still be legitimate in the field. Nothing more.
