I won't deny, if my character ever gets to an end-game level, I am totally gonna challenge that bastard.

You'll lose.

Yeah, I doubt anything but ... +555 in melee or something would be enough to even match him.

Which means all your stuff is outside.

Yeah but Milno's right there.

RP dogpile on Lars ho!

Quick, see if you can sneak in stealing his tokens as an action without him noticing!

See thing is with my -1 dex I don't think I can do that, and the -1 cha that I'm RPing makes it really hazardous for Xan to be in any confrontations right now, since he thinks he knows how to do talking but he really doesn't. I need to maintain the trust of people for the time being.
Which means listening to him preach about gods that Xan doesn't believe in and he'd much rather worship himself or the Doc if given a choice.

Scare the newbies!

Of course this is a thing that's going to happen.

Vanessa, having gotten temporarily sidetracked while reconsidering her plan for the end goal, comes back to herself with a jolt. Slowly scuttling out of the armoury while idly wondering when the next mission was going to start, (so many questions to ask Him...) she finds her hands are walking her towards the infirmary.
Fitting, she supposed, that unconscious wandering by her would invariably end up here. It is so often foremost in her thoughts, after all.

Was not the chaplain in recovery in there? What was his name?
...ah, Lars. That was it. I could go converse with him - he did name me as an avatar of something or other - presumably one of his gods. Perhaps he would be more amenable to helping me than others.
...
Trusting him is not an option, of course. Trusting anyone is infeasible. But he may be more tractable than others, and who knows? He may even have some of the items I require.

After unobtrusively hovering around the peripheral of the infirmary for some time, enough to allow Flint to exit, Xan walks into the room where Lars is recovering.

"Preacher Lars? I don't know if you recall me, but I was on the last mission with you. If you're willing, I'd like to speak of your gods, and whichever one you said I was an avatar of. My memories are somewhat fuzzy due to the stress of the latter part, so you'll forgive me if I don't recall the names quite correctly.

She turns to acknowledge Milno and the newbie once she notices they're in the room as well, nearly twitching in surprise.

"General Milno. Apologies if I'm interrupting anything important."

Well, not really. Your volume cannot change. You could make yourself look larger by making parts of your body empty. But on the bright side, depending on how the control works, you could summon thousands of needles and then launch them at your enemies, since you don't need the metal to be connected, you merely need it to be close enough so that you have enough willpower to control it. And you are also limited by the size of your braincase (unless you get that genemod that spreads your brain and a custom flexible braincase) so you can't fit through everything. And you need at least some mechanical limbs to take care of movement so that you don't have to expend willpower every time you want to move or make your body look like it's moving. And said limbs should be capable of fine manipulation if you also want them to take care of things like facial expressions, so parts of them at least would be very fragile. And there's also the problem that if you want to make bodies look and feel right, then you need to be able to make weak malleable parts of metal which will be able to bend like skin does, which means even more fragility.

Overall, a T-X sounds like a choice more suited for a combat character with some space magic and charisma/stealth capabilities. The other choice is more for a quick moving, sneaky, stealthy, space magicky glass cannon... which is partially what your character is, although you probably lack the dexterity and charisma to properly utilise it.

EDIT: Unless you can get away with using a proxy brain for it doing the calculations for the skin and movement, but then you just switched the problem of your brain exploding with the problem of the proxy brain exploding. Which means that thing is going to burn fuel (read "brain batteries") fast.

Has anyone ever tried producing prepatterned brains/chunks of neural tissue?  Like a muscle matrix grower thing, only for neurons.  In short, it can run x program, but only x program.  Might be useful.

I had plans for this, but now I can't, sadly.

Yep. That or any unnaturally smooth face you can find.

Something like that is what he looked like as a human, yeah. In my interpretation at least.
