RODIN This is the official site for Team Tomorrow Europe's Rodin.
NAME: Dr. Theodore McBride Stone
HANDLE: Rodin
ERUPTED: June 11, 2000
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Male, pale blond hair, dark blue eyes, about six foot two, average build. Field costume is dark purple and blue with armouring (dark red) on shoulders, forearms. Helmet and cape are black.
ASSIGNMENT: Team Tomorrow Europe
OCCUPATION (before eruption): University student
OCCUPATION (after eruption): Tactical advisor and occasional field agent for T2M Europe
KNOWN NOVA ABILITIES: "Quantum consciousness": greatly enhanced mental abilities including superhuman (probably) memory and thought processes, able to learn skills instantly when necessary. Also borderline enhanced agility, endurance and strength.
BIOGRAPHY: The following excerpt is from a N! programme on nova eruptions and the reactions to them which aired in 2005:
"I'm one lucky bugger, and I have been all my life. I've always been more than well provided for by my family, always healthy, always well-adjusted. To top it off in my finals my hangover turned into a nova eruption that meant that I could finish the exam in four minutes. I wasn't exposed to strange radiations or rays from outer space or extreme stress; it just happened, quietly, as I was staring at the paper in despair. When I walked out of the exam hall that day I was a nova, and I realized that life wasn't fair. Not a very profound insight maybe, but I knew then as I do now that there was a balance to redress, and more than ever, I had to justify my existence."
Since going public as a nova Ted Stone has worked for Project Utopia as what some call a human think-tank. He has focused his abilities on optimizing the effect and efficiency of various projects and operations ranging from best use of other nova intelligences and organizing emergency response resources to nova battle tactics. He has been a member of T2M Europe as an occasional field agent and later as assistant tactical advisor since 2001.
Early in his T2M career he picked up the nickname "the Thinker" because he, well, thought a lot, especially right in the middle of danger. He replied that a good many more intelligent (and thoughtful) novas deserved the name more than him, and picked his present codename as a joke (which stuck).
As previously mentioned he has worked on the battlefield (as it were) on occasion, with some success. He has defeated a good many elites of much greater raw power by use of applied imagination, preparation and his apparently endless arsenal of small gadgets of his own design. His colleagues have not tired of making "Holy utility belt, Batman!" jokes yet.
He prefers to keep his personal life private and therefore does not publicize his donations to charity or the work of his private solutions company through T2M channels.
CURRENT EVENTS: Information on most of Rodin's present projects requires an Alpha security level to access.
TOUR SCHEDULE: Rodin doesn't make public appearances as a general rule, but the T2M Europe team will be appearing at the Euro 2008 Football Championships in Warsaw in July.
