Original Deerington Application


• Link to Accepted Deerington Application: Here.
• Additional Adjustments to include:
Canon update: Tech Boy is receiving a small canon update, jumping from the end of season 2 episode 4 to soon after the boardroom scene in season 3 episode 1 (before his meeting with Bilquis). This gives the Technical Boy a slight version upgrade (in addition to one he gained IC in Deer), exposure to a few casting changes in his canonmates, and the realization that he hasn't actually died in his homeworld. This update also hints at some memory loss, but at this point he does not know the cause....

Deer Country Attributes


• Canon Powers:
• Internet & Technology Embodiment: His actual form is digital, but he can also manifest in a solid body to appear in the physical world. In this setting, his physical form will be the most common. Appearance (clothing and hair) are programmed by himself on his digital form and are transferred into the physical realm when he manifests.
→ Due to his partial quantum upgrade, Tech Boy can be in two places at once... but only very, very briefly.
• Internet Manipulation: He can access and hack any form of technological device. Success depends on a wide variety of factors ranging from encryption difficulty to battery charge. In addition, using his digital form, he can enter through any device connected to the network, travel through the network path itself, and exit through any other connected device. (Theoretically, he could also become trapped in the network if unable to find an exit, restricting him to network posts/communication only.)
→ [ please refer to permissions ] See also: "Backstage"
• Technopathy: Technical Boy is able to influence technology with his mind. In canon, this is shown by him bypassing a fingerprint scanner by flipping it the bird and scowling at it. He has also been known to "heal" mechanical/technological devices using this ability. Extensive use leaves him physically drained.
• Backstage: Backstage or "behind the scenes" is an alternate plane used by the gods, frequently to travel large distances in short periods of time. Because time does not work the same Backstage, one could spend days inside while mere minutes pass outside. Technical Boy's version looks like a bare white plain and is actually the inside of the internet from his perspective. In this game, it will not connect anywhere beyond the setting's limits and is simply his pathway between networked devices. He can also enter the devices he brought with him (phone, tablet) but they are just "quiet rooms" and don't lead anywhere.
• Blood Type: Darkblood
• Omen: mechanical spider
• Blessed Day: September 13th, Programmers' Day.
• Patron Pthumerian: Never Mind
• Blood Power Manifestation: can see the flow of energy as it moves through and within objects. can use this to understand the way mechanical devices operate, even if they are unfamiliar. as he becomes more proficient, can use this knowledge to manipulate these devices and/or to create new ones. in the future, could also use this manifestation on organic constructions as well.
