And more old art from 2008! This time it's Nova's partner, Ted, who is also from Project CHIMAERA. (Ted isn't his actual name, but I never found it out and thought Ted was funny.) He's mean, cold, and calculating, and a formidable adversary, operating under the same parameters as Nova in terms of being an associate-for-hire, but less likely to engage in petty, smaller tasks.

His more current design is a bit more streamlined- the metal skeletal bits of his arms are now more technologically skeletal looking rather than biological, and the syringe-spines fold down when not in use. You know, slightly more sensibly.

Has absolutely sparred with Kaerith, and while she learned the hard way that you can't attack him head on, at one point she absolutely did a baseball slide under him, belly up, planted her back paws on his underside, and sent him flying with a damn impressive kick, which he somehow didn't see coming. The trick only worked once, but it did earn his respect. Due to his heightened senses, he's also weak against higher and louder pitched sounds, such as dog whistles.
