[color=f4a100][b]Personality:[/b][/color]
   Tom is arrogant, callous, skeptical, and a serious cynic with a sarcastic streak a mile wide. Generally, he is in acceptance of principles that are beyond his control because what sense would it be for this single individual to rise against a single, dangerous organization? He hates being compared to inanimate objects and is quite proud of his sentience. As such, the control placed on him by the organization grates uncomfortably against his skin even though he won’t try anything stupid to get out of it. Regardless, treating people with respect is beneath him. He will gladly correct people who address him incorrectly and cares little for those beyond those he’s deemed worthy of his “affection”, though that word should be used loosely at best. 

 However, he’s surprisingly honest and trustworthy at least to those same people. Not a vicious AI or a droning, menial machine – he’s cultivated a personality akin to a stereotypical aristocrat despite his position. Regardless, the cunning machine knows how to use people’s perceptions to weave through most uncomfortable situations and treats himself like a human for the most part, though he looks down on things like ‘eating’ or ‘sleeping’, he has a surprisingly embarrassed reaction to being seen without wearing clothing. He tends to try his best to stay out of combat in most situations or at least to the back of a situation where he can keep things under control and keep a head above the rest. He has a high sense of dignity and does what he can to preserve that in most situations, even as he builds his plans behind the scenes.

Likes: Fashion, Gambling, Old Literature, Awful Music

[color=f4a100][b]Abilities:[/b][/color] 

 Metallokinesis – the ability to manipulate and psychically maneuver any type of metal for a number of purposes. Be it bending metal into multiple shapes or stopping flying bullets. The extent to which he can manipulate metal depends on its malleability, weight, and other physical factors, but usually, it is made without difficulty. With a body like his made of a unique metallic alloy with a high malleability – the metal can bend almost close to water or clay and comes with a variety of defensive uses.

 Body Mod – thanks to the flexibility of the super metal he was created from, he can flip around his proportions, making some things larger or smaller or harder, or he can even cause spikes to emerge from his metal body if needed. He tends to prefer keeping the hard yet flexible metal near his person at all times if possible – it’s very hard to get back, even if he can use his metallic power to return it to him like a big magnet. He can also break down the same metal and add it to his mass permanently, but the super metal is so rare at this point that gaining that material is more of a pipe dream than anything else.


[color=f4a100][b]Appearance:[/b][/color]

  With a sleek, dark metal skin, his anatomy on the outside is no different from a human’s albeit slightly colder to the touch at least on his limbs and extremities. Orange energy surges through certain canals around his chest to vent the large amount of power required from him. Similar, small vents sit around his neck area, but the glowing mark on his face can blink and change to demonstrate mood or thought. 

 He stands about 6’9” and weighs roughly 250 lbs all things considered. He is made of an impressive super metal that is light and almost fluid, making it easy for his internal systems to replicate similar movements of a human body. Serious damage to his chest or head will be enough to incapacitate him and cause serious damage to internal cores that will take a serious amount of time to repair if repair is possible. There is a scratched out serial number on the back of his neck that doesn’t move regardless of how much his power allows him to alter his body – though it is still questionable as to why it is still there.


[color=f4a100][b]History:[/b][/color]

  Model-45 was the last attempt at a suitable android model capable of a number of services, though meant to be sold both for its abilities as a personal servant and body guard, but this model was made with a few mistakes. For one, its security upon development was easily hacked and manipulated by a hostile AI program created way back in the day, and two, it had become suspect of a suspicious energy or radiation a couple days after its creation. It was initially shut down due to it being a liability after it was seen tearing apart a machine of a similar make and model.

 Shutting it down, however, only delayed what was already happening within its mechanical brain. The updating security compromised the hostile AI, and both programs were altered by this strange radiation, causing another significant glitch in the machine’s construction. One that would not be discovered until a terrorist cell brought him online 50 years later. He was upgraded with a sleek new shell and some other mechanical parts, though the curious (or mad) engineer left his programming alone due to its unique qualities. The expectation was that the use of this new super metal would allow them to turn this body into a true weapon of mass destruction, but they ran into some unexpected surprises upon his reboot sequence. One: he appeared to have personality – refusing the direct order of the people that wanted to use him as a weapon and declaring them “beneath him”. Two: he gained a strange super power that let him take his metallic form and turn it into a weapon against them. 

 Tom was left with a large amount of freedom he didn’t know what to do with and a strange new way of viewing the world around him that was against any programmed protocol. Not requiring food or sleep (and being mostly solar powered with an incredibly high-voltage battery) meant he was kind of free to do as he liked, even if it was from a quieter disposition. He became great at stopping villains for the right price and heading to casinos for only a day or two at a time where his superior intellect allowed him to analyze probability in his favor, he started to make a good amount of money for himself until a grievous injury left him with a need to repair. He retreated to the old workshop, where he could find tools to repair his body, but he would need to be shut down for the process.

 That led to another long period of rest that culminated 22 years ago. Once more he awoke and attempted to take the roguish lifestyle of years past, only to find that there were obstacles in his way. The biggest obstacle was the fact that he seemed to possess a unique ability that was not directly connected to his mechanical body. It didn’t take too long to be taken in by the New Horizon, where his pride essentially led to him being treated the same as other superpowered vagrants taken in, especially because both the super metal he was made of and the intuitiveness of his design made him too valuable to scrap. They were pleased to learn that his survival instinct seemed to have grown from years past, and that fitting him with a chip made him just as pliant as everyone else, even if he was fairly vocal about how much he loathed the situation (they didn’t think a robot could get as angry as he did when he was told he couldn’t wear his suit within the Tower). 

 Along the way, he met Edith and became close to her mostly due to a similar demeanor and a symbiotic partnership. Edith, being mostly unaffected by his snide personality, quickly became a partner he counted on to be of assistance when the situation called for it.  


[color=f4a100][b]Notes:[/b][/color]
 No, just because he's a robot doesn't mean he can hack into systems and things. His body does not have the interfacing for that.
