Age: 33 years since production
Gender: Masculine/Genderless
Appearance:
Homeworld: Bellanova
A world of what was once considered a center of magic-based technological advancement. Bellanova has since been thrust into the middle of a widespread war between a group of necromancers and their hordes of half machine abominations known as "The Virus" or "Virals", and the rest of the population under the protection of a group calling themselves "The Vaccine."
The war began because the planet should technically be dead. Its star is all but gone and the planet is being kept alive by artificial means. The Virals believe that the natural progression of death should not be held back, while the Vaccine believe that life should be allowed to flourish and death should be stayed as long as possible.

Role: Researcher/Wild Life Specialist
Skills:
Magic-
Omega has a natural affinity for Arcane Magic. Magic cast from a Bellanovan android is cast through special programs written into their systems rather than spoken spells. Omega's magic of choice emulates and weaponizes various abilities of fauna he has come in contact with and researched. Most notably, he favors the strange abilities of many aquatic animals, most notably those who utilize electromagnetism. This type of magic allows him to better integrate himself with fauna by allowing him to communicate through magically created noises and other manners of non-body language communication.
Model Features-
As a research android that was created to study fauna, he has a myriad of built in tools to allow him to navigate his assigned biome and to care for what resides in it. These tools include heat scans, electromagnetic scans, UV scans, surgical grade lasers in his fingertips that vary in intensity able to cut; cauterize; and seal wounds surgically, and a light refraction barrier that can hide his presence from vision or create localized illusions.
Retrofitted Augmentations-
Having been re-purposed for war issues he's since been modified with low-level flight capabilities, a new; armored exoskeleton, and installed with an aiming program to result in deadly aim with projectile and laser weaponry.
History:
Being as advanced as it is, not much space on the planet isn't covered by some sort of technological masterpiece, so what is left is contained in artificial biospheres that emulate the sun and moon cycles. Omega was apart of the research and preservation programs that were in place to keep Bellanovan wildlife alive and kicking. Since creation, all Omega has known is the importance of preserving life wherever it may be, and that all life is precious. His existence was rather peaceful for the most part, and he got some sort of joy out of observing the wildlife they kept.
Omega was tasked with a shore-side biome that contained an artificial sea and a jungle. He along with twenty something other androids and about twenty more scientist spent their lives monitoring oxygen levels, hunting patterns, the spread of disease, pollination, and anything else you can think of. Omega preferred work with wildlife on the seafloor as he enjoyed the pure diversity there and the odd evolutionary paths such organisms took.
When the war broke out, Omegas biomes were one of the first to be attacked by the Virals. The organic material harvested there was grafted into their half undead mechanical monstrosities. Omega was one of 4 surviving androids from the onslaught, of which they managed to rescue only one of the scientist. Omega immediately resigned himself to military duty to join in the fight after having witnessed his life's work perish in an instant.
Omega spent the next several years on the biome-protection branch of the Vaccine military. In that period of time, the planet's 200 biomes were reduced to only 30, several of the biomes Omega was sent to protect were lost and he slowly began to resent Bellanova in its entirety. The last biome Omega was sent to protect reminded him of the one he was created for. A battle with the Viral ensued and Omega was quickly alerted to the fact they were severely unmanned. Eventually having to retreat, Omega went up the line of superiors trying to discern the sudden decrease in manpower. He discovered that the Vaccine decided that sentient life was more important than anything else and would phase out the biome protection wing if the war didn't see a turn.
Omega slowly began to understand that no matter how hard he fought, the Bellanova he loved was doomed to die. He had himself discharged and left planet to try and find somewhere he could continue researching wildlife. He later found himself on a desert planet renowned for poachers. He installed himself a base of operations in an oasis on the planet and made a commitment to protect its wildlife while he conducted his research there, fully intending to eventually leave and conduct research in another area or world. While there he came in contact with a group of poachers in his area.
With determination in his soul, he set up an elaborate trap to kill off the poachers and discourage new ones from hunting in his territory. He used his light-refraction abilities to stealth himself inside a herd of the bovine animals being poached. When the poachers appeared and began to round up the herd, Omega came from behind them one by one and shocked them unconscious with his magic. He then rounded up their unconscious bodies and executed them with a surgical laser through the heart. Leaving one alive, he let them go with a warning that the same thing would happen to anyone who interfered with his research.
Word got out, and the captain of the Nova Dawn offered him knowledge he could only dream of through the Lexicon if he brought his abilities with him to the crew. Omega agreed and has henceforth been the wildlife expert/researcher aboard the vessel, protecting the crew from malicious flora and fauna on underdeveloped worlds, and aiding in the smuggling of protected creatures.
Personality:
Like the atypical scientist, Omega is more concerned with the safety of his work than anything else, and will take extreme precautions in order to protect it. Omega will argue incessantly about the importance of scientific findings and preservation of planetary biological life. This also leads to profound hatred for industrial entities that don't care for environmental concerns. This is part of what lead him to leave Bellanova, as the war ensured his way of life on the planet would be far too difficult if not futile.
To balance out his shrewdness, Omega makes attempts with humor in socialization to seem more friendly. However, his artificially steep intelligence leads to jokes that are far above most's heads. In contrast. he also thoroughly enjoys puns. Not caring if his humor is well received, he believes it's the least he can do for being mildly antisocial because of his work.
Other:
Due to the supernatural workings of his planet's tech, contains a soul just like any other life form.
