Known Powers:

Template Duplication: Priest is able to read and copy the abilities, memories, powers and talents of other living individuals with Shift Z (500) ability. This process (during which Priest’s eyes flash with a brilliant bluish-white energy) takes 1-round to read and copy the template and another round to integrate the template into his D.N.A. If actively being used Priest is able to copy and integrate that ability in a round.

Density Phase Manipulation: Priest is able to alter the density of matter, including his own or that of other beings or objects with Unearthly (100) ability. This shift can be from intangible or Shift 0 density to the tensile hardness of Unearthly (100) rank. Priest is able to use the following power stunts:

-Passing: Priest is able to pass through force fields on a successful –2cs feat roll.

-Levitation: Priest can walk on air as if it were solid ground with power rank ability.

-Electronic Disruption; priest can disrupt electrical equipment with power rank ability. Sentient equipment must make an Endurance feat roll or be knocked unconscious for 1-10 rounds and suffer loss of 50-health.

-Density Phase Shift-Others: Priest can render objects or people out of phase while in contact with them.

-Contact Phasing: Wielding out of phase objects that solidify when released and inflict material strength damage on the edged column.

-Automatic Phase Shift: Priest can phase out when he is in danger and can only be harmed by multi-dimensional, psionic or magical attacks. A White Psyche feat will keep him in his normal state.

-Flight: Priest is able to fly while at Shift 0 density; his speed is Poor (04) rank or 4-areas per round.
-Physical Disruption: Priest can disrupt living or nonliving material by solidifying inside of them. Damage inflicted is equal to Priest's chosen density rank while the targets body armour is ignored.

-Targeted Shifting: Priest is able to target a particular type of matter in a target he is phasing through and carry it out the other side of the target with –2cs ability, for example phasing his hand into a person and phasing out a tumour or cancerous growth.

Enhanced Senses: Priest is able to fee and read the energy of living matter within 2-areas of his location and has Amazing (50) ability. This allows Priest to track living beings, see into ultraviolet and x-ray spectrums, and use telescopic (4-areas) or microscopic vision, and can see others in astral form with Incredible (40) ability. Priest is able to hear with Remarkable (30) ability, detect when someone is lying and hear through solid materials normally.

Multi-Tasking: Priest is able to use any of his powers at the same time, using up to as many powers as he can make actions at a penalty of –2cs to all feat rolls.

Multiple Attacks: Priest is able to make a number of attacks in a single round, having Shift X (150) ability, allowing Priest to make 4-attacks per round as long as he can make a green feat roll to hit at this power rank.

Organic Quantum Bio-Driver: Priest is one of the few members of the original experiment to copy and integrate a second-generation copy of Sauren’s Bio-Surge Driver. The driver is an extremely advanced living being that is bonded to the heart of another living being on a sub-atomic level. The driver boosts all of the bonded beings abilities by +1cs and initiates a change in the D.N.A. of its host. The host D.N.A. chain is imbedded with quantum particles and coding that allows the host to transform into the aspect of their maximum superhuman potential. Arach has all of Priest’s powers except for his Template Duplication power. For Priest this is Arach:

-Wall Crawling: Arach can adhere to vertical and upside-down surfaces with Unearthly (100) ability.
-Spider-Sense: Arach has a Combat Sense of Shift Z (500) at all times. This sense alerts him to potentially dangerous situations and warns him by a mental “buzzing.” The intensity of the buzzing is determined by the rank of the potential danger. Arach cannot be blindsided while this form of Combat Sense is in effect, and may perform defensive actions if he makes a successful Intuition FEAT roll.
-Metallic Webbing: Arach can generate a web-like chemical formula that has Unearthly (00) material strength the round it is fired, and hardens to Shift Y (200) strength in the following round. Arach uses this webbing to restrain opponents, make swing lines (he can travel 5-areas/round in this manner), create missiles which inflict Incredible (40) blunt damage (4-area range), and create shields of Unearthly (100) material strength. The webbing dissolves after an hour.

-Quantum Beams: Arach is able to generate a beam of Shift Y (200) intensity quantum energy, or -2cs intensity force (ignores body armour completely, force fields operate at –3cs) and has line-of-sight range.

-Surge Pulse: A special ability that Arach has using the Bio-Driver is the "Surge Pulse" attack, which uses anywhere from 100-to-500 points of pure quantum energy, focused into a wide-angle force beam that affects all living matter that it strikes with Unearthly to Shift Z (100-to-500) force. This attack extends for 10-areas by 1-area, ignores all body armour of less than Unearthly (100) rank and force fields function at –3cs. Affected individuals get to make an Endurance FEAT roll, anything less than a red feat means the victim is stunned, for 24-hours, and loses 3-ranks of Endurance. Arach is however affected by this attack and is –2cs on all Agility and Endurance feats, and has no energy powers for the next 10-rounds.

-Resistances: Arach has Class 1000 resistance to cold/heat, corrosive, disease/toxin and radiation based attacks. Arach is also considered to have Unearthly (100) rank life support that allows him to survive in deep space for extended periods of time.

-Direct Access: The most dangerous usage of the Bio-Surge Drivers is the use of direct access to the quantum conduit. The final transformation, assuming that Priest survives the initial contact with the quantum conduit, is Mech-Arach, a giant Drider (Half man/half spider – tarantula in this case) covered in techno-organic armour plates that give it Shift Z (500) protection from physical based attacks and Class 5000 protection from energy based attacks. Mech-Arach is able to make up to 12-attacks in a single round (2-arms, 8-spider legs, bite/spray and webbing) and is capable of Shift Z (999) energy blasts, Monstrous (75) corrosive sprays and Unearthly (100) strength metal webbing. Mech-Arach is also able to turn the Swords of the Spiderlord into two giant battle-axes of Class 5000 material strength.

Role Playing Notes:

Priest is a wisecracking, fun loving, and intelligent guy known for his more than frequent use of bad puns. In combat Priest loves to crack jokes and kick ass, all at the same time. However, Priest is a model of control, keeping the forces inside of him from causing sheer chaos and destruction of everything around him. Beneath his fun loving exterior is a mind capable of genius level strategy and accomplishment, capable of bringing the world into the next step of evolution or wiping all life off of the face of the earth.

Equipment:

The Swords of the Spiderlord: Priest uses a pair of swords called the Swords of Arach’nor. The Swords of Arach’nor are made of a Class 5000 material strength translucent white metal. The swords are designed in the style of a Katana and Wakazashi with spider pommels and runes etched in gold along the blade. In Priest’s hands the swords do Amazing (50) edged or Remarkable (30) blunt damage. The swords grant Priest the following abilities and powers:

-Force Bubble: Priest is able to summon a bubble of force that repels all but mental/psionic and emotion based attacks with Unearthly (100) ability. One blade must be drawn and braced for this power to work.

-Mystic Deflection and Severing: The swords are able to redirect or sever mystic bonds and energies with Unearthly (100) ability, such as deflecting mystic bolts or cutting magic restraints.

-Deflection: By spinning the swords in front of him, Priest can create a shield of Unearthly (100) rank.

-Unfettered Might: This special attack creates a bluish/black aura around the blades allowing Priest an attack that does Class 1000 energy damage. This attack has major drawbacks though. The blades of the Swords of Arach’nor shatters and the surviving handle and hilt must be kept in absolute darkness for 10-100 days before it regenerates. Priest himself takes 100-points of damage and becomes comatose for 10-100 turns while he recovers.

Shin’ji Disks: These four, Class 1000 material strength, nearly weightless translucent white steel disks, may be thrown up to 4-areas and inflict Incredible (40) damage and may penetrate up to Monstrous (75) strength materials. Priest has remote control over the disks and can target objects with Shift Y (200) ability, having the disks return at the end of the round.

Physical Network Weapons: Just below the surface of Priest’s skin is a series of conduits and projectors that Priest has had programmed to contain small pocket dimensions housing the weapons listed below:

-10mm S.I. Issue Auto-Cannons: Priest carries a pair of customized 10mm Auto-cannons loaded with programmable replicating clips. Once these clips are emptied, they take 1-full round to cycle through the replication process, and are fully recycled. The weapon features a rapid fire function that fires bursts of 10-rounds, but at a chance to hit of –1cs, or can be fired as an automatic weapon with a chance to hit of –2cs. They are programmed with the following 10mm types:
