5 FIST Characters

I've been growing interested in FIST, a rules-light RPG with a very Metal Gear Solid vibe, but in a way that feels true to Kojima and not just derivative, and taking other influences from the likes of Lovecraft, GI Joe, and Doom Patrol, which of course drew my attention even before I saw it referenced as an inspiration.

I may want to do a bigger FIST post down the line, or maybe a micro-setting using FIST as the core system, but in the mean time, here is my attempt at a few premade characters randomly generated:


Codename: Anti-Mutant P
Tachyonic "mutant" whose DNA was chipped and blasted with psychonine, the nucleotide from the center of all spacetimes, reduced like a block of marble into the teleological True One towards which all life unknowingly aspires. It modulates itself with genetic blocks like a robot via horizontal gene transfer, imposing its nature onto what it appends.
Role:
Icon (5): Terraform the world into a Dadaist, Surrealist, Psychedelic ecosystem.

Veteran (97), Mutant (51)

Codename: MATRIX Dominatrix
ENM Switch and sapiosex terrorist triggering sensory meridians and erogenous zones in a Multisensory Autonomic Tantric Rigging Idiosyncratic Xenophilic field of flavors and pheromones, whispers and whimpers, hallucinated handcuffs, and indecent illusions. A decimated duo warmongering the noosphere.

Codename: Spoiled Kool-Aid
They used to work in the KSF (Kraft Special Forces), but turned whistleblower when they learned about the military-funded Kool-Aid experiments. This is also the source of their addictions.
Role:
Wildcard (9): Multi-substance abuser who mixes their substances into Kool-Aid, and this is an important part of the ritual of their addiction. In their drug-addled state they believe themselves to be the Kool-Aid Man, and when they burst through objects they yell "Oh yeah!"

Codename: Nate Nickel
They see themselves as a super-statistician who leverages their brilliance towards both intimidation and negotiation, but actually most of their skill comes down to their mindreading and bombsuit. Their only weakness in such matters is their unwillingness to be perceived as anything other than a statistical genius.
