Characters *Mostly Final Draft*

[Shinkaze]

'Rei' Mod: "Hard Light" Holograms are a late Boskone War innovation for
the most part, so while not impossible (the tech rumour
sites/boards/blogs are actively followed) even limited to theme its
fairly overpowering even at the personal scale here. I can think of a
fair few uses for
tricks shown in the source material.
(I'm not complaining about ANOTHER Rei because, hey, what's one more?)

Yep - everything that the EMH on Voyager did, this character can copy with a hologram as well. While the Trekkies would love it, I
suspect it's a bit too overwhelming for a first-generation biomod.

     You both seem to have vastly over estimated what I intended the Rei version to be capable of. This version would start out with not much more than the ability to make a hard light shield/forcefield (with appropriate hexagonal ripple effect) and what, if anything, else she could learn to do would be left up in the air.

'Tohya' Mod: I can't count the number of times I've considered an
implanted Speed Drive as a feature (I suppose technically A.C. has
one). As
it stands, I see the offensive uses being too much. Flight? Probably.
Super Jumps? Certainly. Force blasts? No. Shields? Iffy given 'waved
drives, and I
very much doubt Noah will hand over a Hard Tech drive. Field Jacketed
projectiles? Definitely not.

     Again, I think you've over estimated my intentions. The Tohya version would start with the ability to 'Super Jump', accelerate her punches and kicks for greater damage, and 'block' attacks in a similar manner to how Wave Convoy used his tractor beam gun to block missiles (dependent on her both being aware of, and being fast enough to react to, the attack). Eventually, she would probably develop a ranged attack (either by 'pushing' small objects to high speeds or a 'ranged punch' similar to what Largo can do in BGC), she might figure out how to fly but that would be a ways off (what she could learn to do with the Lambda Driver would likely be labeled basic magical girl tricks). Basically most what you've listed up there is more like what I thought the Rei version might figure out how to do (after a long time and a lot of training), note that in both cases it would take time and practice (for some things a lot of time) to learn to do more than the basics, and whether or not she could learn to do them is up in the air.

'Ruri' Mod: Probably the best mix of enhancement to quirk. The
Washu-Chan limit makes things (IMO at least) nicely balanced from a
story telling
perspective. What's the Techno Shaman bit?

Ditto on asking about the Techno Shaman mod/quirk.

Assuming that Techno Shaman doesn't break the character (in either
"godlike" or "useless" mode), I think this might be the best of the
bunch. The controlled ability to shift forms is very useful, even if the default form is the undesired one from the character's point of view and
it's exhausting to shift into the non-default form.

     Ironically, the Ruri version is actually the oldest one here, it's nearly the first one I came up with. Techno Shaman is actually an ability I dropped because I wasn't sue whether it would be to much (that reference should say see Whispered not Techno Shaman) I don't have a copy anymore but it looked something like this.
Techno Shaman: Alex has an 'empathy' with machines, sometimes to the point where he can almost feel how well their functioning when he's close to them. Also gets along very well with most machine intelligences (machines just like him).
     Rob, why exactly do you think turning into a twelve year old girl is an advantage (if anything it just makes him more of a target for Susan's cosplaying quirks).

General:

The Wizard ability is a nice general powerup, but I see problems for
the cyber-bioroid conversion. That needs a quirk to deal with after
effects (odd food
preferences, need to keep up to date blood supplies, etc...).

     Yeah, I've tried coming up with quirks for it before, but drawn a blank, any suggestions? Also, what exactly are the problems you see with it?
     As a side note, the Ghost Echo quirk that all the versions share has been left blank because I've never been satisfied with the wording, but I'd like to get your opinions on an earlier version that I kept.
"Ghost" Costume: When Alex wears a costume, he takes on a bit of the mannerisms/personality of the person he's dressed as. this isn't an actual personality change,rather it causes him to take on some of the mannerisms and/or behaviors of the character in question when he's not paying attention. This would only be an occasional annoyance, if he wasn't technically always wearing a Miho Tohya costume.
     Ghost Echo is similar to this version except the only 'costume' it reacts to is the one he's always wearing.
