Notes
Rush is a villain and former petty thug who originally got his super-cocaine from the Hyperintellect, mad scientist enemy of the Archetype, but later learned to make it himself. The Archetype is a powerful psychokinetic who claims to be from the lost city of Archos (and secretly makes a living as a mild-mannered comic-book writer and illustrator in Chicago, Illinois), who might appear in this thread at some point, depending on how I end up designing him. The Human Bullet is a speedster from Rapid City, South Dakota who is more likely to appear, and who doesn't need drugs to have super-speed; Rush became the Human Bullet's enemy out of jealousy, when he learned this.
His Pharmacy skill has both a required specialization and an optional specialization, hence the lowered difficulty. Super-cocaine is cocaine that has been treated with superscience chemicals and methods; normal cocaine can treat the withdrawal symptoms, but not entirely remove them. The 'Superscience, -10%' limitation is contained within the Trigger limitation, rather than being separate. The 'Speed Tricks' limitation means that some of his powers are side effects of being and thinking so fast, rather than being powers of their own.
'Highly responsive to super-drugs' means that if a drug grants humans temporary super-powers, he gets more out of it, whether in terms of intensity, duration, or some other benefit (and at least in the case of super-cocaine, what he gets out of it now is more than he got out of it the first time he tried it). This is why the Hyperintellect used him so much, when they still lived in the same city.
Thoughts?
