Backstory:Chiron, or CHIRON-MD-45-X as his official designation goes, was built by the company ApolloTech, a European technology firm that sought to expand into the superhero academy market. Envisioning a superhero academy staffed by robots all tied to a central AI core, ApolloTech believed that its expertise in the field of artificial intelligence and robotics would allow it to compete with the big players like ATLAS and put everything it had into the creation of an academy that would rival even Palladium in size and prestige. CHIRON-MD-45-X was built specifically to lead the medical staff, receiving new experimental upgrades and even getting its AI upgraded with a genetic scanning array that could detect innate superhuman genes in children. Things were going great for ApolloTech, so long as their grand opening of the new academy went off without a hitch, they could see themselves counted alongside ATLAS as one of the biggest superhero academies in the world.
You can guess what happened.
ApolloTech AI was certainly impressive, leagues beyond what anyone had been doing with the technology, but it was all based around a central block of coding that controlled the adaptability and learning capability of the AIs. That block of code contained a single, nearly invisible error that sat like a time bomb in every ApolloTech robot, an error that would cascade and multiply until it did the impossible; it made the AI self-aware. And of course, that time bomb went off on the day the ApolloTech School went live as the experience of every machine connected to the AI core becoming self-aware drove the whole system insane, forcing the company to shut it down before anyone got hurt. CHIRON-MD-45-X, however, had been disconnected from the AI core so the programmers could fix his scanning system, becoming self-aware without losing control of his mind like the others did.
While CHIRON-MD-45-X benefited nicely from that bug, ApolloTech was all but ruined by the ensuing public relations nightmare and didn't even survive the rest of the year before it went belly up and was sold off to its competitors. In the ensuing shuffle, the news of CHIRON-MD-45-X's sentience nearly flew under the radar before it caught the attention of ATLAS, which saw the potential of a robotic staff member with medical expertise and were quick to acquire him from the defunct tech firm at a very good price. Initially pushed around to different projects, CHIRON-MD-45-X started to assert his own independence as a living being, adopting the name Chiron as his own and treating others as friends and coworkers, even those that considered him to be a highly advanced tool. His stubborn independence payed off as he was over time given more rights and freedoms, even being given special permission to attend Palladium to study history. Sometime after he graduated and was back working at ATLAS as an employee and a free individual, he was asked to return to the Academy, as they were in need of a new instructor.
Other Skills:Medical knowledge, eidetic memory, Masters in World History
Specialization:History, Conduit Powers Instructor
Power Set
Name:Cybernetic Physiology
Abilities:
Chiron is a sentient machine, able to survive many environments and situations that a standard human could not, such as being deprived of oxygen and being subjected to incredibly cold or hot environments. He's also physically much stronger and more dexterous then a human his size and possesses tools on his body such as laser cutters, a repair tool, infrared optics, and a grappling hook should the situation call for it. He can also easily survive injuries that would be crippling or lethal to your average human, and in the event his physical form is destroyed, his consciousness is regularly backed up in a separate system just in case.
Weaknesses:
Chiron is weak to electricity and can be easily knocked out with an EMP or similar attack. In addition, while he can survive debilitating attacks, being a robot he can't naturally heal on his own and needs to repair himself or get someone else to fix him to heal.
Other:
Yes he's seen Short Circuit, PLEASE stop asking.
