Description
Martin is a low-tier field commander and defensive support operative who excels at coordination, morale stabilization, and civilian protection. His strength lies in preparation, positioning, and refusing to quit long after a smarter person would.
Regardless of his experience and personal, improvised training, Martin can contend with things better than one would expect.

Focuses on utilizing improvised barriers, vehicles, and terrain to create defensible positions.
Uses Mark Target on specific combatants to allow Porch Snipers to do their job.
Uses Echo Mend on himself to increase his survivability.
Uses excess RP on Store Power when he knows he won't suffer for it.
Struggles against precision assassins, overwhelming force, or enemies that ignore defensive setups.

Signature Ability
The Perimeter Holds
Martin plants his feet, adjusts his oversized glasses, and blows a piercing blast on his emergency whistle. He projects an aura of stubborn, mundane authority that organizes the chaos around him, turning a panicked crowd into a disciplined defensive line and making flimsy cover hold like a fortress.
Base: Bolster Guard
Upgrades: 6 Points
2 +Area
2 Scaling Boost
Notes: Bolster Guard typically provides a single ally with additional GP. By adding +Area, Martin transforms this into a 10 ft radius "Safe Zone" centered on himself. The Scaling Boosts increase the buff to be an large relief for those who need it, making survivors out characters that would normally be made into a smear on the pavenment.
