He also posesses an incredible amount of strength- having stopped a building from collapsing on bystanders more than once. Though as strong as he is, it seems to be a reflex to danger and not always there- however... It also seems he's heat resistant, but the tests were inconclusive seeing as he escaped before the water test. At which he was begging to not do." - Dr. Lucian Cramer<br/><br/>Amalgamation Integrity (Immunty 4) [Aging, Condition: Cold Envirionment, Condition: Radiation Poisoning, Starvation &amp; Thirst], Enhanced Constitution 8, Enhanced Strength 8, Tough Skin (Impervious Toughness 2) Feats: Weapon Break, Innate<br/><br/><strong>Complications</strong><br/><br/>Vulnerability: Electricity (Lightening, Powers, Electric Lines-etc) (Very Common, Moderate, Non-Fatal)<br/><br/><strong>Equipment:</strong><br/>Heavy Pistol: +4 Blast, Heavy Firearm<br/>Leather Jacket: Toughness Bonus +1<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong><br/><br/>He is a jovial sort, with a liking of carrousing, women, and fine dining. Though this changes while he's on the job. When on the job he is a stark, angry, snark driven commentator who will verbally assail anyone who dares get in his way; and this is usually before he pummels them into a pulp! Well, truth be told this violent way is more or less his attempt to be a 'Gumshoe'… It apparently works.<br/><strong><br/>History</strong><br/><br/>This monster was 'born' in 1856 in a laboratory in the middle of the south; a way of creating slaves who were both powerful and more useful for field work with enough intellect to work alone but not enough to escape. The cotton gin was completed first and the project was left at a standstill. The body complete and the mind there, but no wakefulness. As the years passed and the Civil War came about, the then President of the Confederacy enacted 'Project Patchwork'. With the body now bare-bones thanks to rot; the now protoform was improved upon! Meant to shoulder an Artillery Piece as a standard weapon and fully capable of reacting to situations with a tactical mind of a well trained officer; the beast was to be a victory piece for the South!<br/><br/>And with his staggaring nine-foot height, he was to be deployed where the south would be able to RIDE to victory! As history states that didn't happen. The Union won. With some help at a major turning point as the 'Artillary Man' himself turned on his own forces to decimate them enough to allow a CRUSHING Union Victory. And at that point, the 'Giant of Antietam' dropped off the Radar for many, many years.<br/><br/>The fact he dropped off the radar for so long and coupled with reports of a 'Giant' stopping various attacks upon people and then disappearing again coincided with the fact there are many super natural entities in the Americas. However this one spoke with a deep, southern, accent and seemed to almost be gentlemanly in his actions. Now… he's here, in a new city, and… well; taxes don't pay for themselves yeah?<br/><br/>Currently:<br/><br/>He's he's moved into an apartment building and it has some strange tenants… Not too sure what's going on; he's been protecting the room he's in with Runes for some time now; perhaps he was going keep out the dead? Paranoia surely… There aren't vampires around… Right?<br/><br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>
