The Tallymaker

There is a recent urban legend in the 'Burbs of Chi Town about a phantom who kills indiscriminately and is never caught. Witnesses report that he is a humanoid who appears out of nowhere, is dressed in a black sinewy armor and that every time he kills, an amplified voice declares a number of points. Then he disappears as if he was never there. He has been called the Tallymaker. Witnesses also report that the Tallymaker completely disregards everyone who is not the intended victim, unless they attack him first.
Hundreds of thousands of people in the burbs are petrified to ply the streets and alleys after dark
In actuality, the Tallymaker is a human police officer named Oliver who was nearly killed in a mechanoid attack. The debris of a mechanoid Exterminator, damaged beyond its capacity to self repair, was able to graft onto Olivers dying body to save itself.
The Exterminator, being a sadistic genocidal murderer wants to kill all humans. Oliver, being a normal sympathetic human, does not. They settled on a compromise to kill 100 points worth of humans a week, with the most innocent and vulnerable being worth the most and the most vile being worth the least.
Oliver has been going out of his way to avoid killing innocent people, which has led to quite a bloodbath. By the way, the Exterminator will not let Oliver kill himself, in case you were wondering; since that would mean its own death as well. The Exterminator can override Oliver's control at any time, but is inefficient, can not use its full capabilities, and must fight Oliver while doing so. So it will prevent Oliver from intentionally committing suicide by cop and has a vested interest in fighting only those targets Oliver deems worthy (or unworthy, depending on your point of view) As long as Oliver can use the power granted to him by the symbiotic bond, he will continue to take advantage of it try to do good, or at least act in a way that he can abide. The moment Oliver does not get his 100 points for the week, the armor will kill the next innoncent it comes across, lashing out and dispatching any unsuspecting passerby with ease.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Because it's body is biomechanics, it has superior physical performance, being faster, stronger and more agile than any natural lifeforms.

Body Features

The body of the Tallymaker is much like an octopus in that it can squeeze into and through tight spaces since it has no actual rigid structure other than Oliver's bones and spare armor pieces. The body has the ability to dislocate its bones and re-attach them at will. Oliver's brain case is the limiting factor for how small an opening it can try.

Facial Features

The Tallymaker has placed its optical sensors on the head of the humanoid shaped body since that is most agreeable to Oliver's ability to process their data. Aural and olfactory sensors are distributed throughout the body as are touch receptors.

Identifying Characteristics

So far, the Tallymaker has two primary identifying features. First, is the sinewy black nature of its body. The whole thing looks like it is comprised of millions of carbon nanotubes. It actually is. Second, whenever the Tallymaker makes a kill, he calls out a number of points, such as "seventeen points!" or "three points." No one knows what this refers to but Oliver himself.

Physical quirks

Before every fight, the Tallymaker will cock its head side to side and roll its shoulders as if it was a human cracking its joints. This is something Oliver would always do and the habit has survived even to his current mechanic body.

Special abilities

The aforementioned ability to dislocate itself and adjust its geometry to squeeze through tight spaces.

Apparel & Accessories

The Tallymaker can often be found sporting salvaged armor pieces. It rarely looks the same twice as it discards damaged armor for undamaged any chance it gets.

Specialized Equipment

Without weapons systems of its own, the Tallymaker will use handheld weapons. The tactics it uses depend upon the weapons it has available. Often it will resort to close combat and hand-to-hand to dispatch its targets; apparently doing so results in more points since it is more viscerally satisfying to the Exterminator.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

A mechanoid is a human from a time and place long away whose body has been genetically altered and grafted into a mechanical construct. It is both man and machine, inseperable. The machine portion also includes advanced artificial intelligence assist modules to execute the commands the pilot provides, to maintain life support, nutrition and waste management systems, and to manage the maintenance and repair of the mechanoid itself. As with all Mechanoids, the pilot was an insane, homicidal, maniacal clone; so often copied and modified that it bore little resemblance to the human who once served as the template. The mechanoid was nearly destroyed in battle, with most of its armor destroyed, its legs and weapon systems obliterated, and it's biological portion rendered brain-dead. Unable to prosecute the battle any further, the AI assist functions of the mechanoid went into life-support mode, maintaining its organic body alive. Being incapable of self-destruction and with an unresponsive pilot, the AI scanned its surroundings for a materials it could use to repair itself, with priority on its cognitive abilities. After a few failed attempts at incorporating the remains of other human casualties of the battle, it incorporated Oliver. He was conscious and alert, but his body had been fatally wounded. Over the next several days, the mechanoid's automated medical systems disgorged superfluous and redundant bits and pieces of the two humans who made up its organic portion in an attempt to consolidate itself into a single body. It was apparently painful.
When all was done, Oliver's mind was in control of the mechanoid's amalgam of biological and mechanical components just like any other mechanoid. But that is where the similarities end. Unlike other mechanoids, the body was humanoid in appearance relying on Oliver's own bones and armor to provide the structural foundation for the mechanical bits that survived. And unlike any other mechanoid, he is not insane.
Almost.
Due to its natural neuroplasticity, one of the bits of the original pilot remaining was its hippocampi. And though biologically incompatible with Oliver's brain matter, it nevertheless remained independently hardwired into the mechanoid. So now, all Oliver's experiences and emotions are filtered through both pairs of mental processes, one of them belonging to a insane homicidal zealot.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Oliver wants to kill as few people as possible, but the Exterminator wants to kill as many as possible. They compromised on a deal to kill 100 points of people a week. A pure innocent like a young child would be worth 50 points, while a putrid menace to society like a child rapist would be worth only 1 point. Since Oliver naturally objects to killing innocents, it incentivizes him to kill more people since the people he would be willing to kill are also worth less points. In addition, there are point modifiers to the means of death. Close-ranged bloody murder with his own hands is worth twice as many points, while relatively sanitary sniping through the temple from afar with a laser rifle is worth half the points. Generally speaking, the more blood and the closer it occurs, the more points the kill is worth.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Understands police doctrine well. Knows how to pick locations, hide evidence and modify crime scenes. Has a hard time staying inconspicuous during the day.
