Bio-Pulse

"*All living beings in this universe live and die at some point, but I can at least ensure that Wanderer has a death he is worthy of.*"
―Bio-Pulse to an enernoid soldier[src]
Bio-Pulse is a powerful alien assassin. He calls himself a hunter, yet he kills his prey adhering to his code of honor. He prefers a fair fight and values his ability to kill high profile targets. He is clad in a suit of armor which affords some durability, but he prefers to rely on agility in combat. He is a nimble, offensive fighter.

## Personality

Bio-Pulse's core drive is his enjoyment of winning fair fights and the freedom of such a lifestyle, untethered to any planet. He follows his own code of honor, deciding what is fair and what isn't. He does not hunt his prey for material gain, such as wealth, so he is not a bounty hunter. Rather, he fights enemies based on the challenge of it and how much he personally enjoys them. One could call him a free-spirited assassin. He does not find any personal value in killing targets when they are in weakened states.

Bio-Pulse seeks knowledge of the galaxy. He knows of species as mythical as the Super Omniacs, having heard of them in legends before meeting Wanderer himself. When Wanderer revealed his identity to Bio-Pulse, he was very curious about Wanderer's backstory and abilities. As a result, he speaks from a place of knowledge. He also shows a desire to teach others his knowledge, in the interest of fairness. However, if he deems you unworthy of his respect, he will glance over you.

## Biography

### Adrift

#### Imprisoned

Bio-Pulse is a prisoner of the kanuuns on the jungle world of Groenya V. In a prison made of giant trees, he meets a fellow inmate called Wanderer. Bio-Pulse tricks Wanderer's subconscious into wanting to transform into a kanuun. As a kanuun, Wanderer frees himself and Bio-Pulse from prison. They meet face-to-face for the first time. Wanderer is not a full strength due to the Council of Omniacs, who had siphoned his power. Wanderer is traveling to Earth but must first regain his strength. Their meeting is cut short as they decide to flee their captors. Bio-Pulse promises he will meet Wanderer again.

#### Pursuit

Bio-Pulse tails Wanderer from Groenya V to Metrouxzis, the former homeworld of the great and powerful lithiox, now controlled by their conquerors, the enernoids. Bio-Pulse finds Wanderer limp and surrounded by enernoid soldiers. They had attacked him due to tresspassing on the territory of Emperor Red. Despite the danger, Bio-Pulse decides to fight off the enernoids and save Wanderer. Bio-Pulse fires sonic blasts and blocks incoming lasers with energy attacks of his own. He displays precision, stopping each attack aimed at him despite lacking a defensive ability. After saving Wanderer, Bio-Pulse leaves him alone so they can fight when they are both at full strength.

#### An Unexpected Ally

Bio-Pulse follows Wanderer to Corenon, a planet covered in a pentronite crust. Pentronite is a highly durable green crystal which can deflect different kinds of rays and wavelengths. Bio-Pulse finds that his tracker does not work on Corenon because Wanderer is hidden somewhere beneath the crust. Bio-Pulse seeks guidance from a local, a man clad in extremely valuable and strong pentronite armor. The man reveals himself to be a bounty hunter. He has no interest in Bio-Pulse, and tensions begin to rise until they engage in combat. Bio-Pulse and the armored man expect to easily win the fight, but both are surprised to discover that they are a good match. Now the men respect each other and introduce themselves properly. The armored man calls himself Pentrax and offers to help Bio-Pulse find Wanderer. Meanwhile, Wanderer shields himself in pentronite to hide from the influence of the Council of Omniacs, and he recovers enough power to make the final trip to Earth.

#### A Long Awaited Battle

With Pentrax's help, Bio-Pulse quickly learns that Wanderer has left Corenon. Bio-Pulse takes to his blue cruiser and pursues his prey to the ruins of Oxiss. The asteroid field they find themselves in was once the world known as Oxiss, until a powerful being destroyed it and the dimossians living there. Here, Bio-Pulse finally confronts Wanderer. Bio-Pulse ensures that his adversary is at full strength and explains that he has been waiting to hunt the fully recovered Wanderer. Bio-Pulse declares that he will do everything in his power to help Wanderer accomplish his goal to understand the meaning of life by completing his experience of life. Bio-Pulse makes the philosophical claim that, in order to die, one must first have lived, and by slaying Wanderer on his quest to find meaning, Bio-Pulse would be giving Wanderer what he wants while also bestowing him an honorable death. Wanderer accepts that Bio-Pulse is his final obstacle, and it begins. Bio-Pulse plays the aggressor for the majority of the battle, throwing out energy blasts which Wanderer absorbs. Bio-Pulse accomplishes a successful offense when he combines his energy blasts into one beam, which overwhelms Wanderer's defense. After continuing to press his attacks, Bio-Pulse is thrown back by Wanderer's surprising telekinetic attack. Wanderer begins to focus on conserving his energy so he can escape, rather than continue, the fight. He stalls for long enough to teleport to Earth. Bio-Pulse shouts in frustration and disbelief. He calls Wanderer a coward and swears to end his story some other day.

## Powerset

* **Energy Bursts:** Bio-Pulse can eject powerful blasts of energy. This is primarily an offensive mid-ranged weapon, but Bio-Pulse has creatively used energy blasts to intercept incoming attacks. Also, he can rapidly fire his blasts and combine them into one beam, which has more offensive power.
* **Sonic Bursts:** Bio-Pulse can create sonic attacks, which have a wide area of effect.
* **Flight:** Bio-Pulse has the ability to fly rapidly, including through space.
* **Blue Steel Armor:** Bio-Pulse's armor is relatively light and allows him to prioritize offense and agility. However, it is still respectable defensively. It also allows him to fight quite skillfully in unconventional environments, such as space. Bio-Pulse's armor might be the source of all of his powers.
