>>3943297I appreciate you bringing this up as I've been considering most of what you've mentioned here. For reference it would be S2 Act 2 Viktor as the subject.
>he can also heal himself -- can you effectively drug this one to unconsciousness?I imagine self-healing is a part of the Hexcore's repertoire, but he's clearly not impervious. Drugs to induce unconsciousness would be out of the question, but substances that can induce other effects seems feasible enough - Singed did it to his egg form, after all. Physical restraints, and MAYBE electrocution, strikes me as the logical course of keeping him pinned down. Enough blunt force to the head could maybe knock him out?
>being able to read minds via touchI will be taking this into account, as well as his ability to create hivemind drones if his handlers are careless. It wouldn't be fun if it was easy all the time...
>he will just outright die if he runs out of his limited batteryAlso taking this into account, for both Jayce and Viktor. I have a lot of thoughts on this, more than this post could hold.
>I get the feeling that he's only piloting his bodyNot sure about this one. Viktor being alive despite being killed by Jayce was something I attributed to his bodily functions (or their equivalent) becoming decentralized after his transformation. Like backup batteries taking over after the main generator is wiped out.
Open season on anyone chiming in, I love to hear it.
