Age: 40 (Relative to human years)
Gender: Male
Race: Magnezone
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Physical Description: Nikolai is a Magnezone with a Scope Lens to the side of his eye and two cloth pouches hanging from his magnet hands. Occasionally he wears a lab coat, but it very rarely stays on due to the shape of his body not exactly working well with it.
Personality: Nikolai is first and foremost a scientist. Eager to find out how things tick, he will never accept the answer “magic did it” as an explanation as to how things work. Having been discriminated against for trying to be both a scientist and a Pokémon, he has developed a bitter distrust of humans and a firm belief in Pokémon superiority, but is still nicer about it than, say, Fatum.
History: The former head researcher at the Green Cave, Nikolai was traumatized when Colonel, his experiment in genetic splicing, killed his entire research team, including his father Pavlov. After the disbanding of the Green Cave, Nikolai has taken numerous odd jobs trying to fix up and improve various places around the planet, but has often been rejected or ignored in favor of non-Pokémon scientists.
Equipment: Nikolai carries pouches full of various bits of scrap metal that he can manipulate into any shape he wants – nothing too big, mind you, but still.
Abilities: Being a Magnezone, Nikolai has natural control over magnetic force and is capable of manipulating metal, or applying positive and negative magnetic forces to people and manipulating that. To cover for things that are not metal, Nikolai can fire Magnet Bombs and electric blasts at people.
Other: Do NOT get Nikolai started on science. Seriously, don’t. You’ll be there a while.

Nikolai (V2)'s Story
- Seen 80 Times • Page 1 of 4 • 1, 2, 3, 4
The four don't get far, as turrets pop out from the roofs of seemingly innocuous buildings and open fire on them. It seems impossible to get out with that heavy of a ballistic assault...
But suddenly, an airship from Corona flies into Ingenium airspace, opening fire rather indiscriminately on everyone in and around Ingenium. Piloting the airship is the leader of the White Platoon, Dr. Y, here to bail out his comrades. As the turrets turn to fire on him, suddenly their bullets start flying in random directions. Anyone looking up to see why can see a Magnezone, eye glowing with power, altering the paths of the bullets in midair.

Rushing into Ingenium is Parasoul and the Egrets. Parasoul is shocked at what she saw.
"NOW they're attacking?!" she gasped. "Men, move in! Our mission is to subdue and arrest the threat to the city."
"Sir!" the Egrets responded, following her into the attack scene.

"Sir!" the Egrets responded, following her into the attack scene.
Meanwhile, the defense turrets are trying their hardest to get a bead on Dr. Y's ship, but with Nikolai running interference that's rather difficult. Terrus is trying his hardest to fly up to the airship for cover, but with two people on his back and a rather heavy generator it might take a while so that the Egrets get the chance to get some shots in.
The Egrets charged in, shooting disabling nets at Terrus and the three with him (that is, they're made to resist things like electricity, fire, and magic). Parasoul, meanwhile, boarded a motorcycle and rode it toward a ramp pointing toward Dr. Y's airship. She zoomed up the ramp, going midair toward the deck.
The nets entangle Terrus, and more importantly, his wings. Abraham starts shorting out on contact with the nets as Terrus and all "on board" start plummeting towards the water below.
"Nikolai!" shouted Dr. Y over the din. "Your job is to keep shit like that from happening!"
"My apologies," said Nikolai.

The Meizerr Attacks! - The Wonderful 101
As the motorcycle neared the surface of the airship's deck, Parasoul jumped off, touching down near Dr. Y and aiming Krieg's tip at him.
"Dr. Y! What are you thinking?!" Parasoul shouted. "Do you even understand the state of things in Haven? We're already on edge thanks to the recent assault on Sanctuary - don't make things worse!"

Dr. Y draws his shotgun and aims it at Parasoul.
"Worse?" asked Dr. Y. "They already think I'm a terrorist. They're starting registration of every single superhuman in their borders, and I guarantee they'll find a way to get to you too, princess. All those idiots and assholes in power, they're not going to suddenly realize that they were wrong about me and my Platoon if I were to go up to them and say 'it wasn't me'. Haven's already gone to shit, princess. What I'm doing isn't making things worse. It's letting these people stay safe, knowing that what they believe is true."

"...You're right," Parasoul said. "The senate won't stop their persecution. They'll likely find a way to silence me and my men. But my concern isn't them...It's the people I'm concerned for! And as long as I breathe, I'll be there to halt whatever threats to their safety I possibly can!"
"And I have to look out for my people," said Dr. Y. "Because no one else will. Now are you going to be a good girl and let me save them?"
Parasoul took a step closer to Dr. Y, Krieg still aimed. "I'm afraid I have to detain them for the countless damage they've caused here. Same with - "
"DOCTOOOOOR!!!"
This shout came from Andy Canis, who rode his board up his lightning line, with Kaia standing on the back of the board by her tiptoes. The two jumped onto the deck on the other side of Dr. Y.
"What is your problem, Doc?!" Andy yelled. "Don't you know what kind of trouble we're all in thanks to the Sanctuary attack?!"
"He's right!" Kaia added. "They came after us just because we associated with Alex!"

"He's right!" Kaia added. "They came after us just because we associated with Alex!"
"Not my problem," said Dr. Y. "Are you telling me you two can't take care of yourselves? Am I inconveniencing you by trying to save my people? These people would go after you even if I stayed at home and twiddled my thumbs, innocent or not. Speaking of which, you're not helping your 'we're not involved' case by being up here with me."
Meanwhile, Terrus and co. finally hit the water. Abraham sparks out, screaming in pain, as does Duma, the water reacting poorly with her mechanical implants. Terrus, as he hits the water, transforms into a merman and dives deeper.

"No!" Andy said, aiming a blade-shaped Hand of Fate at Dr. Y. "You're just gonna make things even worse for everyone! At this rate, Haven's not the only place that'll be under fire!"
"(!) What - ?" Parasoul reacted. "They came after you two?!"
"Barged right into the temple without warning!" Kaia answered. "And I don't think that's going to be the last time!"
"(!) What - ?" Parasoul reacted. "They came after you two?!"
"Barged right into the temple without warning!" Kaia answered. "And I don't think that's going to be the last time!"
With Krieg on one side and a blade on the other Dr. Y didn't see a good way out. So he decided for a poor way out.
"Nikolai!" shouted Dr. Y. "Fall back!"
"Are you sure?" asked Nikolai.
"Just do it!" said Dr. Y.
Nikolai flies backwards, away from Haven, his magnetic force no longer altering the trajectory of the turret fire. The turrets blast Dr. Y's ship, blowing up one of the engines and jostling everyone and everything onboard. The ship slowly starts careening down towards Ingenium. Meanwhile, Patches, trying to drag Duma back to shore, spots the falling airship.
"Oh, bloody hell," said Patches.
"Nikolai!" shouted Dr. Y. "Fall back!"
"Are you sure?" asked Nikolai.
"Just do it!" said Dr. Y.

The setting changes from Ingenium to Arsenal Cove
Soon after their flight from Ingenium, Terrus and the rest of the Platoon members on his back arrive at Arsenal Cove, the former landing on the shore, transforming back to normal, and gasping for breath.
"Now what, doc?" asked Patches.
"Since Terrus obviously doesn't feel like carrying us around any more," said Dr. Y. "We should stay here for now. The place should have enough weapons to hold off any Haven goons that come after us."
Meanwhile, Nikolai, having fled a few minutes before Dr. Y and his party set out, is recharging his batteries in an abandoned, yet still functional, power station...
"Now what, doc?" asked Patches.

Meanwhile, Nikolai, having fled a few minutes before Dr. Y and his party set out, is recharging his batteries in an abandoned, yet still functional, power station...
At the power station, someone steps out of the shadows, aiming a pistol straight for Nikolai.
"Don't move," said the man, in a voice indicating he was barely out of puberty. "Or I put a bullet in your eye."
Dr. Y goes to explore the cove and see where a good place to hole up would be, finding the power station... and seeing someone aiming a gun at Nikolai. He quickly pulls out his own gun and aims it at the newcomer.
"Don't move," said Dr. Y.
"Whoa!" said the newcomer, taken by surprise.
The new man drops his gun and holds his hands skyward, looking at Dr. Y. A few seconds of awkward silence pass, Dr. Y using the time to take in the newcomer - a lanky young man with unwashed hair and a leather jacket that barely fits over him.
"Doc?" asked the young man.
"John Connor," said Dr. Y. "Fancy seeing you out here."
"Yeah," said John. "I've been hiding out for a while. People don't exactly expect to find a corporate saboteur in an old weapons facility..."
"I didn't ask," said Dr. Y.
"Doc... what's going on?" asked John.
"You'll have to be more specific than that," said Dr. Y.
"I can still catch the news out here," said John. "People are saying that you attacked Ingenium with a Coronach airship, and then more airships like yours attacked Sanctuary."
"... That last part's new to me," admitted Dr. Y. "Tell me more."
"Tell you what," said John. "I'm just gonna grab a remote and turn on the TV, okay? Please do not shoot me!"
John warily reaches over into the shadows, pulling out a remote and turning on a nearby TV. It's tuned in to the news, which is reporting on the mass of posters now littering Sanctuary.
"Don't move," said the man, in a voice indicating he was barely out of puberty. "Or I put a bullet in your eye."

Outside of the power station and high up in Arsenal Cove's skies, meanwhile, a sleek-looking silver helicopter suddenly appears in the area, coming from Fantasma's general direction. It doesn't stick around long enough to warrant attention, however; quickly flying by overhead as it makes its way towards Haven's mainland.
Dr. Y hears the faint whirring of helicopter blades outside and runs out of the power station, obviously seeing nothing. John follows him outside.
"Doc?" asked John.
"Helicopters outside," said Dr. Y. "I thought it was Haven coming after us."
"Doc, not everything is out looking for you," said John. "Maybe you ought to rest for a bit."
"I don't need rest," simply said Dr. Y.
"Really?" asked John.
Dr. Y takes off his sunglasses, revealing pure green eyes.
"Oh," said John. "Well, I do, so... I'm turning in for the night. You and whoever you brought here ought to think about that, too."
John Connor walks back into the power station. Soon enough, Nikolai enters sleep mode while Terrus and Duma go off to sleep somewhere and Patches... well, she's busy somewhere else. I'm not entirely sure she needs sleep, either, since she's a robot and all. Dr. Y just sits on an overturned munitions crate and thinks back...

Eleven or so years ago. Dr. Y was walking through his base when he heard fevered conversation from the research lab. Entering, he found a young blonde woman in a lab coat talking to another, older woman, this one clad in a flowing white robe with hair decorated to look like a tornado. The younger woman is working on disassembling a strange gun-type device with a large fan on the end.
"I dunno, Tempestra," said the blonde woman. "If people have guns that replicate your tornado powers, I'd be a bit more worried..."
"Oh, please," said Tempestra, the older woman. "They are mere toys compared to the true power of the winds! You ought not to worry so much, Mary!"
"I know, I know," said Mary, the younger woman, sheepishly. "But it's just when I don't focus, I forget about stuff, and when I forget about stuff, I get surprised, and when I get surprised I mess up, and I don't want to mess up working on this because then the doctor gets mad and..."
Mary then dropped a delicate-looking set of instruments.
"... Oops," said Mary.
Dr. Y cleared his throat. Tempestra calmly turns to face Dr. Y, while Mary, startled, jumps into the air and knocks the gun to the ground.
"AH! Sorry!" shouted Mary. "You just startled me, and I... Please don't be mad..."
"... I'm just disappointed," said Dr. Y.
"Sorry!" said Mary, not calmed down. "I know, I know, I need to be more careful if we're going to find out who did this, and..."
"What Mary here means to say," said Tempestra. "Is that she's working very hard on disassembling this tornado gun to figure out how it works. And I've been standing by to help her."
"You could be using this time training," pointed out Dr. Y. "Instead you-"
"Are doing a very good job," came a voice with a thick British accent behind Dr. Y.
Behind Dr. Y is Special Agent Black Jack, retired from the SAS and now aiding Dr. Y in setting up his White Platoon. Mary is again startled, tripping over her own feet.
"SORRY!" said Mary.
"You're building excellent camaraderie," said Black Jack. "A necessity for any team. You see, it doesn't matter how good any particular asset works. If it doesn't have good support, it's nothing. Now come on, doctor. Stop micromanaging these fine ladies."
Dr. Y is silent for a few seconds. Then...
"As you were," he said, walking off.
"Doc?" asked John.
"Helicopters outside," said Dr. Y. "I thought it was Haven coming after us."

Dr. Y is silent for a few seconds. Then...
"As you were," he said, walking off.
Underneath the rubble of Arsenal Cove, some black mist starts to rise from a central point deep underground. From it emerges a few small black bugs, the same kind that appeared in Mt. Moon. They skittered through the debris, emerging to the surface eventually.
On the next day, John Connor, rubbing his eyes, headed out of the makeshift sleeping quarters/power station, to see Dr. Y, deep in thought.
"Doc?" asked John.
No response.
"Doc, why are you still out here?"
"I'm thinking," said Dr. Y.
"About?" asked John.
"I failed this place," said Dr. Y. "Ten years ago. And if Majestic has their way... I'll have failed this place again."
"You never mentioned that to me before," said John.
"You never needed to know," said Dr. Y, heading back into the power station.
"Doc?" asked John.
