User name: Dr. Caustic

Have you read the rules? Yes

Character Name: Caustic

Character Source: Apex Legends Canon

Starting Location: Mesa Roja

Character Behavior:
Clinical Opportunist

Caustic is clinical. Detached, cold, almost never expressing genuine emotion. Everything he says and does is calculated for maximum effect and efficiency. Almost sociopathic, Caustic cares little for other's opinions of him or for intrapersonal relationships. All that matters is science, advancement, and death.

Caustic is an Opportunist. His Nox Gas is most readily used when stashed somewhere out of sight or around a corner, and the doctor is a master of turning a seemingly safe area into a fetid wasteland of choking corrosives.

Character History:

Alexander Maxwell Nox was born to Arthur Rutherford Nox and Katerina Ticacek Nox on February 25, 2685. He worked as a research scientist for Humbert Labs on his homeworld Gaea, the Frontier's leading manufacturer of pesticide gases. With a glut of pesticides needed to protect the growing Frontier colonies’ crops, Humbert Labs was constantly on the hunt for better and stronger formulas. Nox was one of their brightest scientists and worked day and night developing new gases. But to make sure they worked, he needed to test them on more than just inert tissue: he needed something living.

As he toiled in secret, Nox began to see the beauty in his creations and their ability to destroy anything they touched. But the head of Humbert Labs, Dr. Franklin Humbert, soon discovered his gruesome experiments, and their confrontation ended with the lab in flames and its chief dead. Today, Nox is missing and presumed deceased, his supposed body found and identified by his mother, charred and beyond recognition. 10 years later, Caustic now finds new test subjects in the Apex Games, where he puts his gaseous creations to work and observes their effects with great interest.

Abilities/Skills:

Nox Gas Trap

Caustic is a pioneer in inhaled chemical agents and biotoxins, and has perfected his own special mix he has dubbed Nox Gas. In the Apex Games, the sight of the squat black and orange cylinders tucked into a corner or inflating behind your team was terror inducing. Now he's brought his toxins to the Crossroads. In their portable form, they are thick footwide disks of metal that the good doctor can throw up to 5 feet. The disk then rapidly inflates, filling a plastic bladder with Nox Gas. The gas is released when a small scanner on top detects proximity movement, and it induces tearing, coughing, and choking. Anyone caught in the gas will have a hard time moving out of it's range of effect.

(100 x 1) + (100 x 1) + (+50 x 1) + (-50 x 1) + (-50 x 1) = 100
Cost: 100 Essence

Triggered: Proximity - 200

TOTAL COST ( 300 + 100 + 100 + 200) = 700



Nox Custom (Wingman Heavy Pistol)

The Wingman loads heavy caliber bullets in a limited magazine that holds 5 shots, but the trade off is supreme accuracy and stopping power. The Wingman barely suffers from bullet drop, and is lethal to a fault to any target shot in the head with it. Caustic must concentrate to aim the Wingman for maximum effect, and being under heavy fire will spoil his aim.

Damage 4 (Ranged)
Concentration, Removable

(100 x 4) + (50 × 4) + (-50 x 4) + (-50 x 4) = 200
Total Cost: 200 Essence

R-99 SMG
The R99 SMG is the latest in the R type line, boasting the fastest rounds per minute at 1080. It sprays a wide area with light caliber ammo, guaranteeing area surpression for as long as it takes to reload!

Caustic can draw and fire this SMG rapidly, however trying to aim accurately at anything further than 10 feet away is a futile effort. Of course, a wide storm of lead is a sufficient deterrent for most people.

Damage 3 (Ranged, Affects Multiple)
[Indiscriminate, Removable]


(100 x 3) + (50 x 3) + (50 x 3) + (-50 x 3) + (-50 x 3)

Total Cost: 300



Legendary Physique

Caustic is a fit man for his age, capable of scrambling and climbing over hills and natural terrain at a sprint for extended periods of time. The various arenas of the Apex Games force their contestants to be physically fit, or face death. Additionally, Caustic has made himself immune to all manner of inhaled chemicals, due to his years of tampering and perfecting his own creations.

Endurance 2 (200)
Adaptation: Inhaled Agents (50)




Caustic is a supreme master of poisons and chemicals designed to harm or affect living beings.

Rank 7 Master Skill
[Science: Toxic/Chemical Agents] (350)


Caustic is also a medical professional and biologist, prerequisites for his mastery in chemicals is his understanding of the human body and what makes it live.
Rank 4 Master Skill
[Medical] (200)

Just a few things to note here:

Modifiers: Ongoing(+100), Affects Multiple (+50), Finite (-50), Indiscriminate (-50)
(100 x 2) + (100 x 2) + (+50 x 2) + (-50 x 2) + (-50 x 2) =
Cost: 300 Essence

Debuff [Vision] (100) Rank 1
Modifiers: Ongoing(+100), Affects Multiple (+50), Finite (-50), Indiscriminate (-50)
(100 x 1) + (100 x 1) + (+50 x 1) + (-50 x 1) + (-50 x 1) = 100

Cost: 100 Essence

Triggered: Proximity - 200

TOTAL COST ( 300 + 100 + 100 + 200) = 700

The total cost here is actually 800E (Both of your Debuffs are 150E each). You also have not specified in your description how this ability is Finite (like, how often it needs to be recharged). In addition, please list Triggered as you would the other modifiers-- under each Effect you have listed here.

Could have just gone with an already existing Adaptation, Chemical or Toxic Environments, but I think this is fine, too. It has the same spirit.

Caustic is a supreme master of poisons and chemicals designed to harm or affect living beings.

Rank 7 Master Skill
[Science: Toxic/Chemical Agents] (350)

Master Skills, like Abilities, cannot go above a certain rank depending on your Level. At Level 1, the rank cap is 5.
