Name: TB-193
Codename: TerraByte
Weight: 10 tons
Height: 8 ft
Age: 2,517
Basic appearance/face claim:
TerraByte is a prototype construction robot. He is low to the ground and moves by using bulldozer tracks. He is covered in metal plates and he is square in shape. At the front is what looks like a cabin with one way reinforced glass. Inside are his cameras and sensors that function as his eyes. On top of that is his mining laser surrounded by a frame of metal tubes similar to something like a roll cage. TerraByte is yellow in color and he has a hazard sign on the back of him. He has scrap metal welded to him that act as makeshift armor. On the glass of his "head" he has a spray painted red colored skull.
Personality: Because of the clan of misfits he has taken in, he will take care of his clan before anything even himself. This usually means he will steal and pull buildings underground to provide for his clan. He is highly intelligent, and will usually try to bluff his way out of danger rather than fight.
Vices(Optional): (Bad habits your character may be involved in.)
Virtues:(Optional): (Good things your character does)
History: TerraByte is a prototype mining robot that gained sentience due to a glitch in his programing. He was created in the future to mine a strange crystal know as Tetracite. This strange crystal has two unique properties, when fused with iron or steel that metal will absorb vibrations and shockwaves and dispel them without causing the metal damage. Tetracite by itself however seems to react strangely to genetic empowereds. When it comes into contact with an empowered it can damage their cells and temporarily shut down their powers. Tetracite is also hard to cut apart with anything other than itself.
After gaining sentience TerraByte found a time portal at the lab he was created in, and in an attempt to escape the scientists trying to shut him down, he escaped through the portal destroying it on the way through. Because the portal was still a prototype it threw him all the way back to ancient Greece. Once there he developed a kind of compassion for misfits shunned by society, creating a underground city to harbor them and eventually became a god like figure to the misfits he protected. Because of this whenever they needed food, clothes or some other resource or facility he would tunnel under buildings that had said resource or facility and bring it underground by digging under and around it. He would then bring it underground and assimilate it into his city. TerraByte also started building complex winding tunnels around his city, essentially making the labyrinth. He continued this behavior to modern day where he still is trying to take care of his people, and keep his city growing and running smoothly.
Origin:
Powers:
Durability: TerraByte can take 20 tons of pressure before being crushed.
Strength: TerraByte’s hydraulics give him strength enough to move a four story building.
Speed: TerraByte can go up to 20 MPH.
Drills: TerraByte has drills that can change into hand like scoops.
Mining laser: Head mounted high powered laser made for mining Tetracite. This laser is also powered by Tetracite. The laser can be used offensively as well and if hits a genetic empowered it will temporarily shut down their powers (permission based).
Shock absorbing frame: TerraByte is made of Tetracite infused metal which allows him to absorb shock waves and vibrations underground. This can help him mitigate the damage to his tunnels near him during earthquakes. This metal also helps when TerraByte is getting smacked around by someone with super strength or a shock wave/ vibration based power.
Emergency forcefields: TerraByte has built in forcefields that will deploy in the event of a cave in or if he sustains a large amount of damage. This forcefield will only last a minute (or one post) and will deactivate if the forcefield takes enough damage. It usually takes more pressure than a cave-in to deactivate the forcefield.
Weaknesses: He is weak to magic. If a Tetracite weapon is used against him, it will pierce through his armor even the forcefield. Water, even rain will cause him to shut down. Because he is not a combat unite his reaction time tends be slow, meaning he takes more hits. EMP's will shut him down. He will overheat if he lifts a four story building for longer than 15 min.
Items/Equipment: (Any special gear your character uses! If it has magical or special properties, make sure it’s properly balanced!)
Power Description/Type: (A basic descriptor of the power. Staff will decide the name.)
Ranking: (Staff will give you this once you have been looked over.)
Minions: (Any NPC’s or friends that assist your character? If a character fulfills a specific role - such as Mentor or Sidekick - make sure it’s listed!)
Fluff: (Anything you want us to know that doesn’t fit in the other categories.)
