Description History: Little is known about B+, not because he prefers to keep it hidden, but mainly because he never thought about it. He only recalls few things such as finding his calling in life after witnessing a tanker truck explosion during the Obscurite invasion, procuring his custom blast suit from one of the many peddlers that took advantage of the ravaged city, and him making his launcher from parts found at a B.E.T. armory. You can ask what you like, but he probably won't have too many answers for you.

Personality: B+ is often found in a sort of trance, piddling away at this or that. Most dub him "not the brightest crayon in the box," but that's mainly because he says little, and the few instances he says anything produces vague dialog and a sort of hollow personality... that is until you mention anything regarding his demolition expertise. As it seems, his mind holds little of anything except for the vast knowledge of explosives handling and demolition. It can also be noted he can be extremely skittish and has a fondness for sweet things.

Ability:
*Blast Suit- How this 4ft bug found a suit that fit him perfectly is almost a miracle, but regardless, it comes in handy in his line of work. It enables B+ to survive indirect blasts from high explosives and the resulting shrapnel. This being said, he can fire his launcher as an aggressive act and still get away unharmed. This doesn't mean he's invincible though. Bullets can still penetrate his armor and shrapnel too if the blast is close enough. The suit also leaves certain parts of his body exposed like fingers, arms, and face. That and also it limits his agility, movement speed, and accuracy.

*Early Detection- A useful thing about being a bug is the antennae can pick up sensitive information in the air about his surroundings. If there's a foreign smell, electromagnetic presence, or air pressure, he'll know sooner than most people. This helps make up for his hindered sight and hearing thanks to his blast suit.

Haha, thanks! I've always been a sucker for chunky, impractical designs like this one!
