Character Bio:
"Richter" is from a dark future in Earth's timeline when mankind was targeted by a race of aliens. The aliens capture human soldiers and put them through rigorous experiments to test their strengths, weaknesses and adaptability to their technology. Through these tests, the aliens would learn if the human spirit and body would put up any resistance to their invasion.
Captain Martin Tanner was a special forces leader for the United Earth Alliance (UEA). The aliens imprisoned Captain Tanner and forced him to battle for his life against other captive aliens in a series of trials. While the UEA soldier won his battles, his mortal body was severely injured. The aliens continually "repaired" him - removed his damaged organs and muscles with bionic upgrades. The upgrades kept him alive and also made him a more capable fighter.
Eventually Captain Tanner became known as "Richter" - both for his vicious striking power and for the way his enemies trembled before the battle even began. His success at the gladiatorial games convinced his alien captors that Earth was not suitable for colonization. Unfortunately this meant that Richter would need to be destroyed. The cyborg gladiator had other plans, and staged a rebellion with other alien combatants. The prison break was successful but Richter stayed behind to give his fellow gladiators a chance to escape. Seizing the Stormhammer of the aliens, Richter nearly single handedly destroyed the alien ship.
As the alien vessel drifted toward the certain destruction of a nearby star, the Arch-Kyrie of Valhalla rescued the former Captain and brought him to the Battle of All Time.

Quote:

With Richter, for his SA, how do you know if he moved with Bionic Leap? If he's unengaged and moves 0 spaces, does he still get the bonus for the SA?
|
Bionic Leap would just be something you would declare if he starts unengaged and doesn't move any spaces. Like any move for any figure, you can choose to move Richter 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 spaces. So, yes, he gets the SA bonus.
