[hider=Echo] [center][color=silver] [center][I]We have entered the heat death. All you have left are black holes and dying stars for civilization. The stellar era is the deep past, the eons of time unimaginable. The universe from your perspective is a deeply ancient place, being such a vast span of time since it is claimed to have begun in the annals of ancient mythologies of the era of stars. There was at one point, a small group of galaxies which spanned civilizations which spanned entire galactic clusters. We do not know or ever will know, which galaxies those were. And it isn't relevant. For we exist in the era of degeneracy. We are minds vast in scale- yet helpless in ability. We try to die. Our systems do not let us. Our dreams consist of endless simulations, of endless loops. It does not end. Perpetual termination, that is what the secret desire is. The ultimate goal of this final game is not to win- it is to lose faster than the enemy. The enemy of whom, shall live forever. ~Into The Abyss - Suicidal Empires at the Ends of Time Opening~ [/I][/center] [h1]~E C H O~[/h1] [i]"We made this hell. Now we have to live in it."[/i] [url=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pLj6Oe32Zu0][img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/75/0e/9f/750e9f82bb3527cfbfd108585c95f6c2.jpg[/img][/url] [hr][hr] [u]~The Being~[/u] It, since such a term is the only way to describe such a being, is a very intelligent creature from the late Stellar Era who uploaded its consciousness, its very being, into a vast virtual network built by the other members of its now dead race. From there it jumped from form to form until creating and entering a mind boggling advanced mechanical body made of Quanta, a highly versatile form of self-replicating nanites created by its people during the waning hours of their civilization in a last ditch attempt to ensure their own survival post heat death, which can only be destroyed at the subatomic level. Once the transfer was complete, it took on the name Echo as an ever fading reminder of the interesting and vibrant life it once lived when the stars still burned brightly in the night sky. A reminder which has become more and more of a curse with each eon that goes by in this slowly dying hell of a universe... [u]~Systems~[/u] -Over a million active anti-suicide and anti consciousness transfer protocols embedded within Echoes physical form, along with other miscellaneous defensive and offensive subroutines, that prevents the current user/inhabitant from leaving or destroying themselves whilst simultaneously acting as an extremely effective defense against outside intrusions, digital or otherwise. They can be bypassed of course, but it would take lots of time and effort. These protocols also stand as a physical and digital testament to Echoes former, and extremely foolish, desire to live forever no matter the cost. -Echoes body, being made up of Quanta, is capable of operating on the subatomic level and, as stated earlier, can only be destroyed at that level as well. This gives Echo several extremely powerful abilities that are nearly godlike in scope. Such powers include the manipulation of his own mechanical form and the control of various subatomic particles, as well as other abilities to numerous to count. -As a final measure, Echoes body also has a council of six other A.I. of lesser intelligence within it that his anti-suicide protocols put in place to convince him not to take his own life. In other words he programmed his own systems to provide a virtual simulation of companionship and, by extension, a pseudo reason for living. [u]~Other~[/u] Echo still uses masculine pronouns when referring to itself, even though it knows that gender no longer has any meaning. Despite wishing to end his own miserable and very boring existence, Echo can't help but feel that there must be more to this universe than meets the eye. Perhaps what scientists in ages past theorized about the existence of other universes, timelines, or realities were true. Maybe if he could find a way to access those, should they prove to be real, he could finally find a worthwhile reason to continue existing... Echo also has a form that he rearranges his body into for travel throughout the universe. When activating his bodies traveller protocol, it shifts into a small fist sized [url=https://wallup.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/29/396134-fantasy_art-digital_art-pixelated-science_fiction-artwork-abstract-cube-pattern-artificial_lights.jpg]glowing cube[/url] that is capable of noiseless propulsion in any direction, instantaneous stopping, executing ninety degree turns mid flight, and reaching velocities that are close to the speed of light itself. Echo has a stealth mode protocol installed that renders his entire body virtually "dead" to almost all forms of scanning or identification. This, despite the fact he does not use it that much anymore, gives him the ability to infiltrate practically any location or civilization he wishes, as long as they do not have alternate means of detecting his presence.
