Character Information
Summary
A jarhead with an affinity for biodrones, Moreau has been released from the MCT's mad science laboratories to wreak havoc on the shadows of Seattle.
Goals
- Test the limits of his form
- Experiment with using new and exciting creatures as biodrones
- Demonstrate the viability of bioborgs to MCT
- Suborn the laboratory techs to his will
- Take over the world
Background
Moreau has been trained to interface with biodrone technology ever since his first decanting. He was commanded to push himself and his bodies to their limits, with the ultimate goal of stress-testing the combination of cyborg and biodrone. The laboratory’s interest was the long-term viability of merging the two technologies. Moreau just wanted to make his “parents” happy.
Gengineered alligators were chosen as Moreau’s test chassis. Cheap, deadly, and able to traverse both land and water, they were a perfect showcase of where biodrones (in theory) had an edge over real drones. Unfortunately, live fire trials contradicted this theory. He just couldn’t outmatch a conventional rigger in practice. Having tried everything, the scientists tasked Moreau with finding a way to even the odds.
The breakthrough came on a durability test, where Moreau inside his biodrone was set loose in the toxic Lake Union to demonstrate his resistance to the elements. There, he found the gator tubes: hidden passages for the gators liberated by Shadowhaven’s runners. Through the tubes, Moreau entered the lair of [Gator]. While clearly not a normal alligator, his form was close enough for the dwellers of gatorworld to accept him as one of their own. There, he learned of the Shadowhaven, a place where the city’s best combatants could hone their skills. Moreau loved the idea--it was a perfect way to improve his skills and make his family proud.
The scientists at the lab were considerably less enthused, but the project manager, [Amadou Zheng], saw the value in having a haven runner under his thumb. He greenlit the idea over the objections of the lab techs.
Narrative Significant Qualities
Positive
- Sensei (unarmed combat): [Gator] has taken Moreau under his wing, and is trying to turn him into a tool to exact Gator's revenge on Horizon.
- Animal Empathy: Despite the wanton cruelty involved in biodrone science, Moreau can still interact with animals as if he was one of their own.
Negative
- Corp SINner (MCT): Ultimately, Moreau is Mitsuhama's property. They created him, and they can destroy him.
- Phobia (heights): Too much time viewing the world through the eyes of an amphibious organism has left Moreau uncomfortable far above ground.
- Superhuman Psychosis: Moreau isn't even sure he is a metahuman. That attitude is reflected in his behavior.
