The Legacy

Personality:
Gabriel, having been created entirely to assist and defend the citizens of his time, is as you would expect. He has an innate caring for the wellbeing of all sentient life, a trait he believes goes far deeper than just his programming. Though with his kind heart comes a stoic exterior, and an almost eerily perpetual calm. He is not beyond ending one life in order to save another, but the prospect disgusts him and he will go to any lengths to avoid killing before accepting it as the only option. New to emotion, he sometimes has to make an effort to pick up on complex social signals, learning more about human interaction every day. His vast intellect makes him an asset to any team, whether it be strategic or mechanical, and his knowledge of advanced future medicines make him one of the most qualified doctors in the present time. Some may wonder whether an android can be truly content with an existence that he knows was fabricated. If you were to ask A.I., he would tell you that the circumstances of one's creation are irrelevant, and that it is what you do with that gift of sentience that determines your worth.

History:
A significant portion of A.I.'s history is in an almost constant state of flux, as a result of being from a future point in the timestream. For the most part, his origins have remained the same, though his past does have the potential to be completely altered if certain key events don't come to pass. In every potential future to exist so far, A.I. is built as part of an elite brand of police and emergency response officers. He and his fellow androids are built with sentience and empathy, however a large percentage are unable to handle the burden of human emotion, and subsequently go insane. Gabriel and his peers are reassigned from their original departments and given the task of decomissioning the deffective models, a moral struggle that causes some to abandon their orders and disappear. Their mission lasts years, and as it comes to a close it always ends the same. A.I. and what's left of his team track the last remaining rogue androids to their safehouse, and while they outnumber the enemy, it ends in a stalemate. In every causality, it ends with the last two androids, Gabriel and his insane sibling, hurtling through time towards the 21st century. In some timelines these events occur in the very distant future, while in others they happen much sooner, but somehow they always come to be. Through nearly the same course of events every time, Gabriel always arrives in the past at the very same moment, causing the ripples in time that create his unstable and changing history.
Once A.I. arrived in the past, from then on his actions were cemented as history and unchanged by any causal fluctuations. He spent upwards of a month following his malfunctioning and murderous sister before finally catching up with her, and in the end he wished he had taken longer. When he finally managed to shut her down she was barely recognizable, a screaming pile of parts that looked like they were begging to be human. The sight haunted him for a long time, it was a reminder that even in his time, he was still the only one left. He was alone, and being trapped in the past had nothing to do with it. Seeking to end his respite, he eventually sought out a team of heroes called The Talons on the night of their inception and joined their ranks, becoming a founding member of the team through his knowledge of their history. From that point forward he helped The Talons dispense justice, changing the future for the better every day.
After the apparent death of the team's leader Phoenix, The Talons scattered. Without a home and without a team, Gabriel felt the truth of his solitary existence creeping back. Instead of being conquered by his emotions like his brothers and sisters had, or even as he had once before, he decided to continue helping people. He left New York for Seattle and became a merited doctor using his knowledge of future medicines, and built himself a normal human life, though sometimes he felt guilty for letting his abilities go unutilized. Recently he has heard rumors of Phoenix's return, but years have passed and he is wary about returning to the violent life he thought had died long ago. Only time will tell what choices he makes, but speculators say that A.I. would never let The Talons go without his help.

The Powers and Weaknesses

Powers

Power 1: Durability:
A.I.'s skeletal structure is comprised of an incredibly advanced, virtually unbreakable polycarbon, and his synthetic skin is made up entirely of self replicating nanobots. These nanobots have a passive ability that allow them to change their density during times of stress. This is how his skin feels natural to the touch while also having the integrity to stop a tank shell.

Power 2: Regeneration:
Self replicating nanobots make up the entirety of A.I.'s outer, protective layer, and in the event that his synthetic human layer is damaged, it will reform itself entirely within hours. His internal systems have their own reserve of nanobots meant to repair any fatal system errors, but these repair drones are only capable of keeping A.I. concious and functional until he can make total repairs himself.

Power 3: Super Computer Mind:
A.I.'s brain is literally a supercomputer, constantly connected to the internet and able to focus on multiple tasks at once. He can moniter a camera feed on one side of the country while fighting criminals on the other. He has a processing speed faster than any computer known to man and his knowledge of the future makes him centuries ahead when it comes to science, engineering and medicine.

Power 4: Super Strength
Being a badass piece of machinery, A.I. can lift up to 500 tons! Wow!

Weakness(es)

Weakness 1: Susceptible To Hacking:
Having a computer for a mind does have it's drawbacks, and an experienced enough hacker or a strong enough virus does have the capability of compromising A.I.'s internal systems, and could even potentially control him for a brief time.

Weakness 2: Protective Instincts:
A.I. will always choose to save an innocent's life before anything else, it is his highest priority and can allow opportunities for an enemy to easily escape.

Weakness 3: Electrical Interference:
An intense burst of electrical energy to A.I.'s system will cause him to overheat and go into emergency shutdown mode. This emergency countermeasure shuts down all of A.I.'s systems, then reboots them one by one while running diagnostics on each individual system. It takes nearly a minute for the entire process to run it's course. An EMP of any kind will yield the same results.

Weakness 4: Susceptible To Magic:
A.I. is a machine, and machines are things of logic. Magic, however, holds no regard for logic, and as such, has the potential to really put a wrench in A.I.'s internal systems.

RP Mechanics

Future Knowledge and Paradox Database:
A.I. has memories of the future and information about major events yet to come. Not everyday events, but anything that would be written in a history book, A.I. knows. However, this knowledge is always changing due to changes in the timeline. Because of this, A.I. has created what he calls a "Paradox Database", a backup drive of memories that subsists regardless of any causal overwrites in the timeline. Through this, he is able to access knowledge of any potential timeline that never came to be due to his actions, thus preventing countless paradoxes.

Items

Item 1: TT-04 Palm Blaster:
Fires a blast of blue energy that can disintegrate non living matter, and burn living matter. There are three main settings and one emergency setting; low, medium, high, and the overclock setting. Low is mostly used for training or riot control, because it causes no permanent physical harm. It merely blasts the target back a few yards. Medium is the most often used, and is meant to stun or immobilize enemies. No permanent damage, other than some potential burns. High obviously is the most powerful, and can be severely dangerous to living targets. This setting is more often used for the destruction of inanimate objects or combat with extra durable metahumans. The overclock setting is only used in absolute emergencies, as it can cause catastrophic damage. There are very few beings on the planet who can withstand a blast from this setting, and A.I. is disgusted by the fact that he even needs a setting so dangerous.

Spoiler:

Weakness bought off with 1/5 advancements.

Item 2: TT-95 Energy Pistols (2):
Fires blue beams of energy at high speeds. Energy causes small blue explosions upon impact. Each pistol fires ten shots before needed a moment to recharge.

Spoiler:

Weakness: If damaged, the energy core becomes unstable and may randomly explode if fired again or damaged further.

Item 3: TT-45 Energy Shotgun:
Fires a close range projectile, but rather than a scattershot like most shotguns, this weapon fires only one blue energy projectile that expands as it gets farther away until it dissipates at about 50 feet.

Spoiler:

Weakness: If damaged, the energy core becomes unstable and may randomly explode if fired again or damaged further.

Item 4: TT-112 Long Distance Rifle:
The TT-112 is the most accurate weapon in A.I.'s arsenal, if given time to focus on a shot the user can dispatch targets with surgical precision. It fires a concentrated blue beam that would atomize the average human almost instantly.

Spoiler:

Weakness: If damaged, the energy core becomes unstable and may randomly explode if fired again or damaged further.

Item 5: TT-303 Energy Autocannon:
A hulking brute of a gun, the TT-303 is the least accurate and messiest of A.I.'s weaponry, and is only used in a situation where there are no innocents present. It functions as most miniguns would, but instead firing volleys of blue energy blasts. Being hit a few times is almsot negligable to someone with above average durability, but when it's when you're stuck in a corner and the shots just keep piling on that the TT-303 really shows it's worth.

Spoiler:

Weakness: If damaged, the energy core becomes unstable and may randomly explode if fired again or damaged further.

Item 6: AOS - Advanced Optical Systems:
Being an android, A.I.'s eyes are replaceable, upgradeable, and customizable. Their primariy purpose, obviously, is sight. The AOS currently installed in A.I. allows for full thermal and night vision, heartbeat sensors, and all manner of scans and diagnostics. They assist in targeting and accuracy, as well as having the ability to zoom up to 15x.

Spoiler:

Weakness: Having technology for eyes can be a hindrance. If hacked into or disrupted otherwise by technology, A.I. can be rendered blind temporarily.

Item 7: Nanobot Injector:
A small reserve of self replicating nanobots, when injected into or around an area with damaged tissue, can stabilize a wound in minutes and completely heal someone from near death in a few days.

Spoiler:

Weakness: The human body is a fickle mistress, and the body's immune system can get confused, sometimes mistaking the nanobots for something more sinister and rejecting the treatment, potentially worsening the recipients condition and wasting the nanobots.

Item 8: Internal Donor IV:
Having been created partially for emergency response, A.I. is fitted with an internal reserve of synthetic O- blood. O- being the universal blood type, he is able to use this reserve to give on the spot blood transfusions to anyone with a regular human blood type. There is a retractable IV line on the inside of his upper left arm that runs directly to his blood reserve.

Spoiler:

Weakness: Much like the nanobot treatment, the human body can also reject synthetic blood, however in this case it is due to an overly active immune system recognizing the minute differences between the local blood and the imitation, though much to the same effect.

Item 9: Internal Grappling Hook:
Durable metal wire can be fired from each of A.I.'s wrists, with a small drill and grappling hook at the end of aforementioned wires. The wires can extend up to two hundred feet each, allowing A.I. faster access to higher places.

Spoiler:

Weakness: The one problem with suspending yourself high above the ground with only a wire holding you up? Well, your relationship with the sky is a fragile one, let's say that. If cut, A.I. will fall. Thud.

Item 10: Internal Razorback Launcher:
Launches small, high powered razors from A.I.'s wrist.

Spoiler:

Weakness: They are the weakest of A.I.'s weapons, and can be easily dodged, blocked, or even caught if someone is skilled enough.

Item 11: 7T Wrist Computer:
A manual interface for A.I.'s internal functions, the 7T Wrist Computer has many uses. It projects a holographic touch screen computer above the wrist, it displays any details aquired by scans from the AOS, displays a topographical map of the area, allows access to the internet, stores large amounts of data, can plug into other devices in order to override or hack computerized systems, and it has Flappy Bird.

Spoiler:

Weakness: The software used to produce the area map can be reverse engineered and used by an experienced hacker to determine A.I.'s exact location.

Item 12: T-55 Anti-Sight Grenades:
Incredibly advanced flash grenades that cause no permanent retina damage whatsoever. A real marvel of technology. Ooh, and it spins! (If you can see it spinning, you're probably screwed.)

Spoiler:

Weakness: Friends and foe alike may fall victim to it's blinding flash, basically it can backfire on anyone with eyes.

Item 13: Magnetic Restraints:
Issued to every one of A.I.'s android brethren back in his time, these cuffs use powerful magnets to keep even low level metahuman criminals restrained.

Spoiler:

Weakness: There are countless powers that can be used to escape these restraints, as they were mainly designed for low level metahuman street crime.

Item 14: A.I.'s Motorcycle (K-77 Raptor):
A force to be reckoned with on the road, the K-77 Raptor is capable of speeds up to mach 2. It has multiple compartments storing useful items, and under the bike is a hatch that drops out two wheel drones (Both drones must be reloaded back at base after use). As it is a hoverbike it can fly, but not more than fifty feet above the ground. A.I. can remotely call it to him using his wrist computer or his mind.

Spoiler:

Weakness: If damaged while in use the results could be catastrophic, it is a fragile machine traveling at incredibly high speeds and one or two well placed shots have the potential to really ruin A.I.'s day.

Item 15: K-77C Wheel Drones:
Released from A.I.'s motorcycle, these rolling drones pursue a fleeing target and explode when they get close enough to do damage. Best used in vehicular pursuits as a way of immobilizing an enemy vehicle.

Spoiler:

Weakness: If hit directly while still inside the K-77 Raptor, they will almost definitely detonate and severely damage the Raptor and likely cause a fiery collision.

Ok so starting off, you will need to have an RP sample, unless your a existing member in which case you'll need to clarify.

Other than that, you state the skin is impenetrable which it couldn't be so you might want to edit that, also, i assume the time machine is wrecked so it doesn't work. After fixing up those two things then i should be able to approve

by **A.I.** February 11th 2012, 1:42 am

Fixed, and the time machine didn't travel with them. It just sent them back.

Reapproved. You'll owe 9 exp.
