Background[]
Physical appearance[]
Tech wears commando armor with a specialized visor that acted as a computer display. A computer terminal is installed into the forearm portion of his armor, enabling him to access a number of versatile functions, such as trajectory calculation, translation of alien languages, and recording and replaying sound effects.
Abilities[]
- Enhanced Intelligence: Tech’s mutation is enhanced intelligence. His large deposit of technology and knowledge, even the most mundane bits, can be incredibly useful in the right situations, whether it be decrypting, hacking, making measurements on the fly for the other Batchers, translating alien languages, or recording animal cries. Tech quickly forge new chain codes for Cut and his family, despite only just learning them. Although his vast amount of knowledge and strategically-gifted mind are useless when he lacks any sort of information from past encounters to formulate a plan, which allows the Zygerians to get the drop on them while trying to rescue prisoners from them.
- Expert Mechanic & Engineer: Thanks to his intelligence, Tech is skilled mechanic and engineer, managing to create a chip scanner headpiece that connects to his datapad. He also knew how to scramble the Marauder's magnetic signature by modifying the ships' signature key.
- Skilled Pilot: Thanks to his mutations, his keen mind allows him to pilot ships and speeders with superb skill. His first time participating in a Riot Race has him calmly lay out a strategy to win that relies completely on his piloting skills to use speed and precise timing in comparison to the brute force and dirty tricks of the other racers.
- Military Training: Trained since his creation, Tech is an expert in close quarters combat, a skilled shooter and an other tech.
Weapons and Equipment[]
- DC-17 hand blasters: Tech's primary weapons were two DC-17 hand blasters.
- Datapad: Tech also carried a datapad for various functions. Among the tools that operated with the datapad were a bulit-in comlink, a scanner, and more. Tech's datapad can connect with other equipment like a datachip, a datarod, a computer spike to hack into other devices. Tech also has a clip to put his datapad in his backpack or belt.
