[hider=Marauder][center] [img]http://orig05.deviantart.net/dc8c/f/2009/273/3/1/marauder_3_by_reillybrown.jpg[/img] Alias: Marauder Real name: Zer-Ghuza "Zer" Age: 25 Gender: Male Appearance: [img]http://orig08.deviantart.net/dfac/f/2009/271/d/9/maurauder_by_reillybrown.jpg[/img] A few parts of Zer's robotic body is actually retractable. Namely his helmet, shoulder pads, knee pads and wrist guards. When retracted, the objects form a small backpack like instrument on Zer's back, which can then be detached. His physiology is almost exactly like that of a humans, par his skin being a light shade of blue. His robotic face can also retract to reveal his true face. His hair is a bleached blonde and his eyes are purple. Personality: Zer is a fun loving and naive young man. While he could tell you almost all there is to know about his home planet, he knows very little about Earth. He does love Earth's music, something which is nothing like his home planets music. He can be rather clumsy, and has been known to drop a plate or two in his absent-mindedness. He more often than not tries to befriend and change the villains he encounters, but is not afraid to use lethal force if it comes to it. Short Biography: Zer was born on the far off planet of Jayor, a planet very similar to earth in many ways. He grew up in one of the many megacities on Jayor. He was very poor as a young lad and was captured by slavers at around age 12. He was bought by an insane and cruel scientist who tortured Zer to no end before discarding him in a ditch, missing almost all of his limbs and many parts of his face and body too. Luckily enough, he was discovered by a rather rich young man who brought Zer to his father, a wealthy doctor. The doctor nursed Zer to health before recreating body parts for him using the highly advanced robotics that Jayor had developed. Zer was born anew, and set out to join the police force on his planet as soon as he could. Unlikely for him though, the sun near Jayor began to go supernova. Escape rockets were made for and by the wealthy, Zer was lucky enough to gain a place on his new surrogate fathers ship and get off world. The wealthy made a landing on a planet just outside of the milky way, and have been trying to restart their civilization on said planet. Zer, however, made his way to Earth. He grew tired of farming and whatnot, and began to explore the galaxy. Eventually he stumbled upon earth, and made his settlement there. Albeit, it was a rather recent discovery and he doesn't understand quite a few of Earth's conventions, but he at least tries to do good in his life. Powers, Skills & Equipment: As a cyborg, Zer's body has been greatly improved in all aspects. He can take much more damage, lift much heavier objects, run faster and see further among other things. Along with this, Zer's arms and legs are able to redesign themselves into various weapons. This includes, but is not limited to various guns and melee weapons. Zer's 'feet' also have small jets within them that enable him to fly. He is also able to analyze and learn languages as they are spoken to him. Weakness: Zer can be overloaded with electricity which shuts down any mechanical part of his body. This essentially means he is unable to use any of his limbs and has completely vulnerable to attack. Full Biography: Zer-Ghuza was born on the distant planet of Jayor, one which was extremely similar to Earth in many ways. Jayor was much more technologically advanced than Earth was, and had developed a space travel system similar to that of Earth's in the 60s while Earth was still in its renaissance period. The planet was very inequal though, and while the rich lived in extreme luxury, the poor lived in such squalor that many died of starvation. Zer was unlucky enough to be one of the poor. His father and mother abandoned him at a young age and he was left to fend for himself in one of the sprawling megacities on Jayor. He survived through thievery and begging, and was doing rather well up until age 12. This was when he was snatched off the streets by slavers. He lived for about a year with the slavers. To tell the truth, it wasn't really all that bad. They didn't beat any of the children they stole and regularly fed them good meals so that they'd look better to their customers. Zer was bought by a doctor who had long since lost his medical license. Zer was brought back to the doctors home and experimented on for about a week before being tossed out into the literal dirt. His left arm was completely cut off while his right was cut off just underneath the elbow. Both of his legs were severed at the knees and many parts of his face and body were also removed. Zer was lucky enough to be spotted by a rather rich young man passing by him. The young man took Zer back to his home and his father, a wealthy doctor, done his best to nurse Zer back to health using conventional medicines. Throughout the process, Zer kept fading in and out of consciousness and he was extremely close to death. In a last ditch attempt, the doctor used something he'd been working on for a while but never put into practice. He equipped Zer with a mechanical body that far surpassed that of any athlete on Jayor. The body enhanced Zer to a point where he didn't actually need any more medical treatment after it was fitted on him. He thanked the doctor as much as he could and became sort of a surrogate son to him. In the mean time, Zer began training to join his local police force, hoping to stop the slavers from ever capturing any young boy like he had been. Unfortunately though, as his training came to a close, astronomers discovered that Jayors sun was essentially a ticking time bomb and would go supernova within the year. Zer's father funnelled all of his resources and money into making a private rocket, and worked with many other wealthy people he knew to ensure that they'd all be going to the same place. Zer left his home planet in sorrow, and was left to operate all of the rockets from a station onboard his fathers rocket. Of course, being mostly robot Zer did not face the physical limitations of a human, so while the rest of the crew slept in hibernation pods, Zer was left to control every rocket. They landed on a planet just outside of Earth's solar system, and set up base there. Zer stayed there for about a year, helping to create a settlement on the planet. He left soon after, eager to explore the galaxy. He spent about a year exploring various planets before stumbling upon Earth. He was surprised to meet the friendly and interested inhabitants of a farm where he landed. The two were no strangers to aliens or superheroes, and just assumed Zer was another hero who had retired to the country like many had before. He explained to them about Jayor and the settlement on the planet far away. They were amazed at his story and explained about superheroes and whatnot to him in the meantime. In exchange for a bed and food for a week or so, Zer worked the fields for them. They explained to him how things worked on Earth and many of its conventions before he left to become a 'super hero'.
