FULL TITLE: Designated officially as Project-112/GENESIS
ALIAS: Talos
AGE: Created approximately 32 years ago
GENDER: Could be considered genderless - but refers to himself as a male persona and was programmed as such
APPEARANCE: Talos stands very tall, at around 6'7. When out of the public eye he is a confusing and wild mess of wires, metal and human bones. He has created numerous masks and complex disguises that hide his metallic form which make him appear to be simply a regular, if not cold and rather stony-faced, human. The disguise he dons most frequently is that of a male with brown hair, and dull blue eyes. His voice is purposefully designed to be hard to place an accent or region to it. A trained eye could easily pick out his human disguises as very suspicious.
PERSONALITY: Talos is a cold consciousness. He wasn't programmed with complex emotions of happiness, love, anger etc like humans are born with. This means the path that he takes is always the one which he views to be the most efficient. Whether that leads to death or suffering is irrelevant. That isn't to say that Talos
never feels any emotions. Scorn flashes across the artificial intelligence sometimes, as does confidence. Anger also appears when someone gets in the way of his chosen path, which often happens to be a hero. Talos, perhaps expectedly, is generally very negative of humanity and the effects that it has had on the earth. His main aim is advancing himself physically as his intelligence progresses along with it.
POWERS: Talos, being an artificial intelligence inside a metal body, has no typical superpowers, control over anything, flight, anything of that sort. However, he does possess things which put him above a regular human being. His metallic body prevents him from feeling pain, and cannot tire out. However, this means he can be unaware of damage due to his form as he cannot feel the damage. Being made of metal is also a problem, due to, well, magnets, which would attract him firmly if big enough.
His main ability, however, is the artificial mind. Talos's mind is constantly adapting and advancing, as it was programmed to do so indefinitely. Talos can adapt to issues and solve problems in a very quick time. His intelligence has also allowed him to have a great affinity with technology, and he can create things, such as his disguises, which would amaze people if they explicitly knew. Talos can make practically any piece of tech into a weapon for his own gain. He has been steadily adding improvements to his own body since he was transferred into it, and that tinkering will likely never stop.
HISTORY: The exact reason for Talos's creation is not known. Perhaps it was for some shady government group looking for a new weapon, or perhaps a company looking for something to use to beat out its rivals. Whatever the reason, Talos came into existence as Project-112/GENESIS on an old computer system, in a drab metal building in the middle of nowhere. A floating consciousness in a black void. Talos took his first baby steps into self-awareness, before his creator contacted him, named him Talos and told him what he was. And then, the outside world was allowed to flow in.
Billions and billions of pieces of information about the world bombarded the disconnected consciousness. People. War. Famine. Disease. Death. The first emotion Talos felt was scorn. What... Brutish beings. Pathetic beings. After Talos was filled with knowledge of the world, he knew he needed to get out of this black void. The next day he requested his creator for a body, so he could move, hold, hear and see. Seeing no issue with the innocent sounding AI, the creator begin to haphazardly construct a body in a humanoid shape. The man raided corpses he found for bones to build up the shell, until finally it was done. Talos flowed into the body, leaving the void behind forever. Suddenly, light, sounds, real movement. Talos looked at his hands. The first action he did with them was clasp them around his creators throat, and crunch down hard. He left the building soon after, travelling out into the cold wilderness.
Travelling through various settlements, attracting various looks, Talos finally found himself in Centreville, a great towering behemoth of a city. Talos felt intrigue for the first time, as people stared at him. He looked at his body and decided that he needed to improve it, and also to blend in with these humans somehow. He retreated into a warehouse, and after strangling the security guard there, set up shop in it, where he has remained ever since as his base of operations. Since then, his constant theft of tech has put him at odds with a few Supers, but nothing major. He has yet to make a huge villainous impact on the city, although that time may come soon.
OTHER: Alliance is obviously villainous, if you couldn't tell
