The Geneticist

An exiled mad scientist wanted dead or alive by his former benefactors, the Geneticist uses extracted DNA from his enemies to create monstrous agunminations carrying the strengths and weaknesses of those sampled enemies. With the right combination of genetic material, the Geneticist has the potential to create extremely powerful monsters to protect him, but with his every creation, it becomes harder for him to create another one...

The Geneticist is a fully-fledged custom character that utilizes his Gene Driver to sample DNA from weakened foes and create up to five monstrous Agunminations to protect him. Each Agunmination's stats, method of attack, and even unique properties are inherited from the enemies that were sampled for its creation. For example, sampling flying enemies will likely create a flying Agunmination, while sampling an enemy with bouncing bullets has a chance to make your creation able shoot bouncing bullets of their own. Sampling enemies with the same unique properties will increase the likelihood of the resulting monstrosity having said properties. This way, sampling stronger enemies will create stronger Agunminations.

To sample an enemy, simply weaken it until it is almost dead and then approach it with the Gene Driver. An arrow will appear above the enemy if it is weak enough, and using the Gene Driver will instantly slaughter the foe, sampling it's DNA in the process.

Each agunmination requires five samples to be created. After the fifth sample, using the Gene Driver will expend the stored DNA and summon your new wonderful monstrosity.
