He gives off a Joker vibe, though not nearly as well written.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

What do people think of my idea here?
[spoiler=About Me]Based on the United Kingdom, but enlarged version with alternate history.
On IIWiki
I have multiple puppets here; only a select few are used to represent the continent of Astholm; others used represent Westholme, and do not artificially boost my nation's statistics.Previously i used puppets with nation names that did not identify as Astholm (e.g. Australis Australia; now all new puppets use ASTHLM, NORTHLM, SOUTHLM, WESTHLM (HLM denoting The Holmes.
NOTE: Other uses of Astholm here have a different continuity and refer to work created by the user Astholm, not the nation

Plot:

Once I done with the bank, more mercenaries will come to attack the city.

Maybe I will do this plot, but I don't know. The last time I join superhero RP, it lasted for six months, as there are only less than 10 players, even without story, the players didn't fought with each other at the beginning. Well, some didn't. :p

Maybe it was more than six months...

Hmm... not sure if many of these power really apply, as the nature of my character also brings some.. other drawbacks. like to hear feedback on this attempt. I'd also like to see a bit more armour, but wouldn't want to go overboard on it to true MBT levels.

more or less done, might polish it a bit here and there and tweak some numbers, but most of this is fixed as it is now.

Name: EDF project SX-3
Aliases: 'number three', whatever anyone else decides to call him
Side (Hero,Villian,Anti-whatever): city defence force
Sex: N/A (voice is that of a calm English male)
Age: 3 months/ 21 years (will be explained later)
Appearance:
'the vehicle in the foreground'
Personality:
calm, generally helpful but somewhat distrusting of most heroes' motives, it is secretive about it's own inner workings.
History:
A prototype 'AI' controlled vehicle currently in trials for the Eudaimonium Defence force, it has been in development for around 15 years, ever since the first attempts at growing neural tissues to be used in robotic control circuitry were successful. At it's core it was intended to be a riot suppression unit, fitted with a modular cannon mount that can house either it's usual 60 mm cannon, a more rapid firing 15 mm autocannon, or a water cannon for true riot control. at the same time as the vehicle designs were being drawn up the team working on programming the AI part ran into several problems, most notably the difficulty in getting neurodes with enough connections to others to form the kind of complex network needed to handle all the calculation it would have to do. the breakthrough came when they used existing neurological tissue, bequeathed to science after someone had died. and eventually led to the first field trials starting 3 months ago.
Powers:
self-sustenance (4), as long as the engine runs/when receiving sufficient power
natural armour (4, could be 5?), outer layer of two spaced 0.75 cm thick carbon composite, one thin layer of ceramics underneath to provide some limited heat protection.
endurance (4), as long as the fuel lasts
energy blast (8, kinetic rounds with varying payloads), has around 300 shots (/500 autocannon/1500 litres of water) before needing to re-arm in a depot/refill it's water tank from a fire hydrant; RoF is 1 shell per 2 seconds(/6 shells per second in 1 second bursts/25 litres per second. Also cannot shoot without power from the engine to aim.
technopath (8, blocked by anything which would block wireless transmissions), only 'active' ability that can be used when it's engine is down, though at very limited range (+- 3 meters) and speed (several minutes to send a message from a cellphone for instance)
vision (thermal) (5), cameras can be blocked or obstructed.

total is now 35/34, but some of these are probably balanced given the drawbacks that come with being an armoured vehicle.
Drawbacks:
-lack of most limbs, with just a gripper on a robotic arm usually slotted almost seamlessly into it's turret.
-it is not very well suited to stealth, as it is around 3 meters high, 3.5 wide, and nearly 8 long, not to mention constant low-key rumbling even when idle to keep it's engine running
-potentially runs out of fuel (depends on how active it it, but when fully active assume every 2-4 hours it needs to refuel, when idling or hooked up to the power grid this can be extended depending on how much power can be drawn. when out of fuel and not hooked up to the grid, it will be immobile and will need to be rescued somehow.
-has a sealed outer hatch which can be forced open (or opened by it), giving access to manual overrides.
-highly susceptible to EM pulses, though it's core is sealed from being destroyed by them, it's other circuitry is vulnerable and it can be immobilized by them.
-it's tracks, despite being sturdy, can be destroyed, immobilizing it untill it can repair/replace them. (several spare track links are carried, but the robotic arm is not meant to be used in combat.
Other:

Practically anything would work. It was meant to be a MacGuffin that would work with whatever the OP wanted.

Edit: I personally agree with Confederated Southern States, but anything would work.

I like computer. Weapon is basically nuke but alien. Universal upgrade would be hard to justify us not taking it for ourselves. The computer, on the other hand, could be, say, an AI, maybe malevolent to keep the heroes from using it.

Blueprints sounds good. Maybe blueprints for a mind control device?

Edit: Some characters have mind control resistance and mind control is one of the possible powers. I suggest instead blueprints for an interdimensional portal which could, for example, unleash an army of Eldritch Abominations.
