Forsythe

Digimon: Genesis [Reboot]

Hence why I sent the character in a pm for pre-approval :) I just have better time playing a single character being the man reason.

A classic fantasy adventure - are you ready to be a hero?

I would love to try this. Should I pass you a PM with the character?

Digimon: Genesis [Reboot]

Teaser

“The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself; to be conquered by yourself is of all things most shameful and vile.” - Plato

Artemis O’Connor

Alias: Arty
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Height: 168 cm
Weight: 68 kg
Birth Place: Dublin
Western Zodiac: Aquarius
Eastern Zodiac: Tiger
Voice actor: Siobhan Thompson
Theme

Appearance:

Arty is a sturdily built girl, whipped into shape by constantly pushing her body past its limits. Her heights is petty average for her age, although she weighs a bit more, a given with her exercise schedule and love of sports. Her skin is lightly tanned.

She almost never bothers putting on any make-up, making her look a bit rough around the edges, something that’s often accented by grit and sweat. Her face is a bit angular with pointed chin and prominent cheekbones. Her eyes are a very light shade of brown, drowned out by the mass of her equally colored hair.

She usually wears clothes that allow her a large freedom of movement, often sleeveless tops and cargo pants. It doesn’t bother her in the lightest that the scars she picked up via her many falls are visible. The only scar she has that sends unpleasant memories into her mind is the one on her belly when her appendix decided to quit on her.

Despite having the body of an athlete, she can relax perfectly, oftentimes slouching in her seat and melting into a soft couch. She usually keeps still when seated, but if she is on her feet, she will be moving, even if she was to just bounce on her feet.

History:

There is not much of note in Artemis’ history other than perhaps her name. She is the daughter of a greek immigrant, but takes almost exclusively after her irish father, inheriting none of the southern looks. She’s lived a more or less happy life of a middle class child, albeit she had a bit tense relationship with her mother due to her hobbies and how she spends her time.

She passed through high school with acceptable grades, not because she is dumb but because she found it hard to focus on studies, wanting to make a career in sports, whether it meant going pro or running a gym.

Personality:

Artemis lives in the here and now. Her impulses yearn to be free, and are often loosed when others least expect it. If she is forced to represses these impulses for a long time she feels 'dead inside' and may eventually cut and run.

The girl may be quite charming and ingratiating on first acquaintance, flowing with compliments which may (or may not) be deserved. On other occasions, she may be aloof and detached. Artemis is fiercely competitive, especially in sport or table games, and may has great difficulty losing - any loss in her mind is just a step to victory, a learning experience, a limit she has to break by pushing herself harder. This competitive nature sometimes fosters 'lucky,' 'gut' feelings and a willingness to take risks.

She spends most of her time doing one sort of sport or the other, from running to javelin throws, but she excels in individual sports only, having no talent for working with others, feeling like they are a potential weak link that would drag her performance down. This way, she only has herself to blame if things don’t go as planned. This of course shows in her day-to-day life as well, with Arty hardly ever seeking company of others, although she would not back out if the company found her. She works alone though, even if it’s for a common goal.

Evolutions

Spirit evolution

Digimon: Agunimon
Description: A hotheaded digimon in its own right, Arty’s influence gives its power a direction: To be the best fighter there ever was. She searches for a good fight, and doesn’t much care who it is she fights.
Theme

Beast spirit evolution

Digimon: Metalgreymon
Description: A true beast, Metalgreymon is anger given form. In this evolution the digimon’s influence beats Artemis’, and she fights with instincts and brute strength rather than drawing on experience and tactics.
Theme

Fusion evolution

Digimon: Wargreymon
Description: Drawing on both human and beast spirits, Wargreymon still likes a good fight, but unlike her predecessors she has the urge and will to use her power to aid others and rid the digital world of conflict. Strangely, having a purpose other than to be the best seems to only enhance her abilities.
Theme

Unified evolution

Digimon: EmperorGreymon
Description: Reaching a perfect balance between the spirits rather than using them in conjunction, Artemis is able to evolve into EmperorGreymon. This form however takes massive effort and will to sustain, but the additional armor and sword can be what decides the battle in her favor.
Theme

Digimon: Genesis [Reboot]

I'm here. PM'd you a char for pre-approval since it's a spirit wielder.

The New Avengers

Somewhere outside of the city...

The facility wasn't big. In fact, all that you would find if you looked form the outside would be a tool shed on the edge of a large field, nothing special, save perhaps for a button on the side. If you had a proper key, you could push the button to reveal the shed was no shed at all, but rather a disguised elevator that went far below ground. The inside was simple as well, nothign more than a holding facility. The most sophisticated piece of technology would be the arc reactor powering it for the last 50 years. Now though, the power source was running low, and it's occupant was about to be released.

Speaking of the sole inhabitant, it appeared to be a young woman sitting crosslegged in the middle of an empty room, the only other space other than the engineering level with the reactor in the facility. Power lines were hooked to her back, but other than that she jsut seemed to keep staring at the door.

Until now.

"Power level critical: Engaging release protocols." echoed a voice for a maintenance crew that has long left the facility. The girl didn't seem to notice yet, but her eyes suddenly twitched and she started moving, looking around.

Ugh. This must be what headache feels like for a human. Alex thought, looking around confused. Something was wrong with her memory, and yet her self-diagnostics spat out no errors. Was this planned? Did her memory deteriorate over the time she spent here? She thought she just sat down, unable to recall anything form the time she spent here.

Suddenly, an icon flashed on her HUD and a message opened. Alex smiled, seeing her crea- her father on the screen. "Hey kid. I know this has to be confusing, so let me give you a heads up. You may notice your internal clock is not in sync with your perceived time. That's because I have temporarily disabled your memory saving - you've been basically living the same fraction of a second over and over, and if you're seeing this message, it's been around 50 years."

That information got her to stand up and rush out of the room. Fifty years! She was supposed to be hidden for a week, month tops while the avengers dealt with a large threat she wasn't yet ready for! Is dad even still alive? I need to find him! Alex thought, a bit of panic settling in.

"Hey, hey, HEY!" Past tony shouted form the message, actually getting ASTRA to stop. "I know you, no rushing out just yet!" He sighed, looking like he didn't know what to say for a few seconds - or didn't want to say it. "Look, we have no way of knowing what state the world is in. I might not even be around anymore, I'm sorry. You'll have to get above ground and make and judge for yourself. Unfortunately I couldn't transport your armor here in time, it is still below the tower. You should go fetch it before someone else does. They wouldn't be able to use it but it would be bad if the tech got in the wrong hands. Until then, I left you something of mine." Past tony smiled, and the message shut off. Alex looked on the ground and smiled upon seeing a suitcase. She picked it up and headed for the elevator.

Near the avengers tower...

She stared at the ruined tower in disbelief. "This is beyond fucked up." she cursed, feeling some of the rust set in just looking at it. The whole world has gone to hell, every superpowered individual being a target of monumental hate. Last time, as she recalled form her history lessons, this level of mass brain wiping happened in the Third Reich. "Look at them, like a herd of sheep." She frowned as she took sight of the crowd cheering as the mutants were paraded around.

She was pulled out of her melancholy soon enough as she heard shots being fired. "BEYOND FUCKED UP INDEED!" she exclaimed, climbing the fire ladder on the adjacent building to get a vantage point. She took in the situation - it seemed like some misguided souls wanted to free the mutants despite the heavy HYDRA presence. That was until she saw her. It. Whatever. Venom could not be mistaken for anyone else. Perhaps they would be able to tell her what happened in the last 50 years, seeing as none of the others seemed to be that old.

Unfortunately, the youngsters seemed to be in a spot of bother, their plan likely not involving a random person trying to do what they wanted to do as well, and failing miserably. She looked at the suitcase in her hand and smiled. "You always knew what to give a girl, dad."

Setting it on the ground she pushed one button to watch it unfold and two handles pop out. With a grin she took a hold of them, and soon the Mk V Ironman suit unfolded around her. Of course, JARVIS was not linked to the suit, but to her that was no problem at all. Her skin shifted in the armor, finding way to the circuits and soon she integrated it's systems into her own software, gainign complete control.

"Time for a distraction." Too bad the Mk V couldn't fly, but the palm repulsors still would do something. She took a couple of paces back, taking a repulsor assisted leap.

She crashed into one of the hydra mechs, staggering it. Her arm punched through the cockpit and pulled out the pilot, Alex swiftly taking his place. She modulated her voice to sound like Tony Stark himself - two reasons, perhaps that would give HYDRA the chills if they thought THE Ironamn arrived, and because why couldn'T she have a little fun on the heroes account as well? "Mind if I drop in? Get the mutants out, I'll hold hydra here!" She called out over the mech's PA system.

Dismounting one of the hands on the armor, Alex put her bare hand over the control panel of the Mech. The nanites flown into the circuitry, creating a connection she could exploit. In mere second she punched through the Mach's firewall and was in it's communication system, her mind spreading across the local hydra network and shutting the mechs down by wiping out their control software, rendering the walking tanks dead in the water. That should give the others some breathing room, especially since the mech she occupied was now under her control ad the only one still functional.

Alex grinned, uploading dad's signature song and blasting it out through the PA as she took aim with the Mech's gun and started mowing down the hydra soldiers with it.

The New Avengers

Might come in later then? =3

I'll have my intro up asap.

The New Avengers

ASTRA will have to wake up first before she can do anything, and she will first have to get her bearings.

The New Avengers

If anyone has been around 50 years ago and had a reason to visit Stark Tower at the time, you would know Alex, but not otherwise.

ASTRA - Alexandra Blair Stark

Name: Autonomous Superhuman Termination and Regulation Automaton
Alias: ASTRA, Alexandra Blair Stark
Age: Appears to be 18
Gender: Appears to be female
Voice: Brina Palencia

Themes:
Main - Happy - Neutral - Sad - Fighting - Angry - Action - Armor - Victorious - Defeated

Appearance:

Hider

Source

Alex doesn’t appear to be anything out of the ordinary, in fact her build is rather lanky and ‘underwhelming’ as far as the average on the academy goes. For her whooping 187 centimeters of height she claims to only weigh 63 kilograms. She seems fit within her options and seems to have great stamina. Her skin is on the paler side of the scale, almost as if a human spent all of their time out of direct sunlight.

Her face seems as ordinary as the rest of her - not too angular, not too rounded. She has dark green eyes and a short mane of blond hair that she keeps cut to a mikado and flowing over one side of her face.

She sticks to her uniform most of the time as she hardly ever goes outside. Alex doesn’t use clothing, instead morphing her skin to look like it, most often going with a form-fitting jumpsuit and a jacket. She doesn’t really ‘change’ for combat other than donning her armor if the situation calls for it, at which point she shifts her surface to a circuit board look to form attachments and connections to the extra gear.

Despite her best attempts, more observant people can still tell there is something inhuman about her - the way her skin is just a bit too cold to touch. The precise and controlled way she carries herself. The fact that she doesn’t seem to ever get a tan. But her body language and camo protocols are slowly improving to blend in better.

History:

Created by Tony Stark, ASTRA is meant to be the deterrent to all future threats to Earth. Combining the thoughts behind Ultron and the Sentinels, this unit is the first prototype of intended many. Designed to be able to counteract most known and possible future threats, ASTRA units are capable of emulating many powers present in other superhumans, aliens and technological contraptions, and while it matches none in its specific field, an ASTRA is capable of keeping up well enough and employ other powers to counter, with the whole system intended to counteract a threat by employing larger number of units, rather than a single superpowered robot.

To prevent the disasters that were the Sentinels and Ultron, ASTRA code is based heavily on that of Ultron-15, capable of feeling emotions. Furthermore, Alex did not achieve consciousness by accident and was brought online and educated by Mr. Stark to create a desirable personality.

A cover story was needed for her, to hide her true nature form villains and heroes alike, and thus ASTRA assumed the identity of Alexandra Blair Stark, a misbegotten daughter of her creator, one he only recently become aware of with the death of her mother who kept her existence hidden from him.

When the cataclysm struck, Mr. Stark hid the only existing ASTRA that was Alex in a remote, unconnected facility, intending to come back after the Avengers saved the day. Only they never did, and now the timed wake-up call is about to go off...

Personality:

Alex is on the border between an extrovert and introvert. She doesn’t actively search for company, about if one finds her she doesn’t shy away. Being relatively ‘young’ and inexperienced with the world, she can sometimes be a bit childish, naive and gullible.

She seems a little cold and doesn’t like to talk about herself, not quite over the fact that her father figure is there no more. Alex constantly seems zoned out due to being able to multitask and pick up what humans can’t like radio waves or wi-fi internet, although she is always paying attention to what she should.

Her only fear is that of going offline for whatever the reason, as even though her memories would remain intact, her personality would reset and she might never be the same person.

Construction and powers:

ASTRA’s body is shaped around a strong endoskeleton fashioned out of secondary adamantium. Mobility is achieved through series of hydraulics for heavy duty lifting and nanite skin for precise motorics and forming the outer shape. Most of the ASTRA’s core systems are stored in the chest and abdomen, freeing the head for most of the sensor equipment - beheading an ASTRA will only blind it, not destroy it, and as long as it can connect to the nearby surveillance systems, all you would have done is to make it look bad.

Despite being a walking supercomputer and thus having a shorter learning curve, it still takes time for an ASTRA to master certain things like martial arts, due to the fact that no amount of theory can replace experience. Furthermore, individually Alex didn’t bother learning much of what she doesn’t need, as her drive space may be impressive, but it is far from encompassing all of knowledge.

Minor shapeshifting - ASTRA’s nanoskin can change its shape, color and to some degree mechanical properties. The shape is limited by the endoskeleton, always restricting it to humanoid shape although in special cases not all of it needs to be covered by the skin, and the skin can form shapes on its own, albeit with not much strength in such limbs.

Energy absorption - ASTRA is powered through its skin which can transfer various energy sources into its powerplant - the unit is mostly powered by solar energy. The capability is limited though - for example it can still be damaged by fire given long enough exposure or high enough temperature.

Superhuman physique - Unarmored, ASTRA can lift up to 20 tons with each arm or 60 tons with both providing it can distribute the weight properly. It can also move about 3 times faster than a human and it has wider range on its joints, capable of for instance reverse bending elbows.

Superhuman mind - The robot has large memory and the computational power of the best technology. It also possesses significantly shortened reaction time and short range telepathy and technopathy with max range of 1 m for very basic readings, requiring physical contact very near the central nervous system (such as on the temples) for detailed readings facilitated through the nanites in its skin.

Sensors and transmitters - The robot is aware of more than a human, capable of seeing and hearing a wider spectrum, and can also transmit such signals.

Equipment:

As the base robot is made to be able to mimic a human, something more is needed for those tough fights when the nanoskin just wouldn’t last long enough. As such a new suit of powered exo-armor was developed along with the ASTRA units. It is somewhat modular in a way that additional equipment can be mounted on the outside, but unlike the Ironman suit, it is not capable of functioning without being fully assembled or in auto-pilot. Its assembly is based on the Mk III, needing to be put on piece by piece unlike the mark V and higher Ironman suits, making the armor a strategic choice rather than tactical as there is no quick option to suit up.

Composite armor - With bulkiness not being the issue due to ASTRA’s superior mobility, the armor was made out of a composite improving upon the nickel-gold alloy. It is worth noting that it was designed to take the brunt of damage from the front and there the armor is heaviest. With the need to accept a pilot, the armor also has weak spots around the joints.

Forcefield emitters - ASTRA armor is equipped with the next step from Ironman’s repulsors - the multifield generators. It can create electric, magnetic, thermal, repulsor and graviton fields around itself. The more complex the field the more it subtracts from ASTRA’s processing power - for example, a tractor beam is pretty easy, but creating a gravity field to safely deflect a hail of bullets over large area would take enough processing power that ASTRA would have none left to compute its own motion, freezing it still.

Increased strength, reduced speed - Once the armor is on, ASTRA can lift up to 300 tons. However, the armor is is far clunkier, and limits ASTRA to human speed.
