UNIQUE SCHTICKS
Signature Armor: Bean's jacket (and the rest of his clothing) is heavily armored, combining titanium mesh and ceramic plates. 9mm rounds will just bounce right off with no problem. Bean's gear gives him +3 Toughness with no loss of Agility (due to his great strength).
Whirling Knife: Bean doesn't carry a gun, he carries a heavy hunting knife. His strength is such that he can hurl this knife with the same effectiveness as a bullet. If Bean hurls his knife it does STR+3.
BACKGROUND: Bean is the creation of Kenichi Sonoda, a gentleman who states that two of his favorite movies are The Blues Brothers and Gone in 60 Seconds (cool by me). As you might guess, this means that Mr. Sonoda is a serious gearhead and Bean's world is populated by big American muscle cars and hot European speed machines.
Bean stars in the anime Riding Bean and appears sporadically in the manga Gunsmith Cats. In both cases, he is a courier-for-hire. For a mere $45,000, he will drive anything or anyone, anywhere. This includes deliveries, performing as a get-away driver, escort service etc.
Half-Japanese, half-Native American, Bean is tall and well muscled. He seems to stand between 6'3" to 6'6" and weigh 225-250 lbs. He has thick black hair and dark eyes. A large 'X' shaped scar is centered just above the bridge of his nose (the result of an exploding engine block). He usually wears a red headband to cover the scar. The rest of his costume is boots, jeans, a black tank top, a leather jacket, black fingerless driving gloves and sunglasses.
EQUIPMENT: Bean has access to a large number of cars, but he seems to prefer a heavily modified Mustang Mach I (+2/10). Bean doesn't bother with guns, but has been known to pack a mean throwing knife.
