Skeritt's face was only illuminated by the bright LCD light of the large supercomputer that he had built. Multiple monitors stacked and stood next to each other, each showing a different image and only the three surrounding the computer Skeritt was working on mimicked his work. He was currently working on a device that would allow him to walk on the ocean floor without the pressure crushing him like a penny on the train tracks. It was almost near completion and ready for testing, but a few bugs had to be worked out before he'd send some sort of fleshy symbiote down to possible die or return to be tested on again. On the other monitors various news channels from all around the world were keeping him updated on what was going on in the world at the moment.
Something caught his ear on one of the monitors though, and its message was repeated and echoed throughout the room. Lady Asyr had been defeated, the world was in turmoil as their planet's protector was struck to the ground and depowered in front of their very eyes. Skeritt looked up from his work to pay more attention to the news reports. He felt anger well up inside him, he slammed his fist on the desk before getting up from his chair and beginning to make his way to the elevator. The elevator was built by Skeritt to propel whoever it contained up to the surface in almost no time flat. Skeritt chose to drill down to the oceans floor so he could extract more materials and whatnot that had yet to be touched by man.
Soon enough, he was on the top of the small island that the government had provided for Skeritt, not everyone had forgiven Skeritt for his past life just yet and if he lived anywhere near mainland the death threats would start to pile in. He broke into a run as he got to the surface, quickly accelerating towards the beach before he leaped into the air and took to the skies. In a few minutes he was at the battleground where Asyr and the end had fought. A few members of the crowd were still around, flabbergasted at what had happened, and of course the memorabilia searchers were scouring the area for anything that they might keep or sell on ebay. The police quickly arrived on scene and made the crowd along with those who had found minor shards of armour or whatnot. They had read enough in the papers to know about Skeritt and while some of them didn't like it, they allowed him to stay on the scene.
Skeritt began to search the crime scene in order to find anything that could give him an idea of what was going on inside Asyr's body that was making her die so quickly. Luck seemed to shine upon him, when she had hit the floor some blood had come with her. He quickly reached into one of the pouches on his belt, pulled out a small vial and scooped it in before sealing it shut and putting it back into the pouch. Still, this may not have been enough to work with, he set about scouring the area once more.

Skeritt has changed a lot since his days of villainy. Originally he was a stern, cruel, merciless and ruthless leader who was dead set on proving to the galaxy that the Zenothians were the greatest race in the galaxy and that the Zenothian fleet was able to destroy any enemy who would stand in their way. After the loss and disbanding of the fleet after the crushing defeat at the hands of Earth's greatest heroes, Skeritt resorted to villainy by himself. Soon enough though, he saw that evil does not prosper as well as good does and that no race was actually better than another completely. He began to change for the better, with the help of various heroes who began to teach him more and more about humanity and its beauties. He became more and more merciful and approachable and less and less ruthless and cruel. He is now dedicated to seeing life no matter how small prosper and at least tries to save as many people as possible in certain situations.
Background: Personal History, origin story, etc.
Skeritt was born in the capital of Neyar on the giant planet of Zenoth. His upbringing was tough, his family was rather poor by Neyar's standards because of the very bad economy that Neyar housed. Around 48% of the population were living in poverty around the time that Skeritt was born with 36% being middle to upper middle class and the remaining 6% being the upper classes. Skeritt's father worked at a local factory building weapons and armour for the ongoing war against the nearby country of Yarop. Neyar was winning by a small amount, but at the cost of a large amount of food along with a lot of luxuries productions being halted in order to provide more workers for the arms and vehicle trade.
Something was different in Skeritt though from a young age he grasped mathematics and languages at an amazing rate. At the age of 4 he had learned how to play the Zenoth equivalent to a grand piano at an intermediate level. He had practically skipped primary school by the time he was in his second year and was quickly fast tracked into high school. As a result of his fast tracking, he was very lonely. After all, being in the same maths class as a 5 year old who is doing better than you on tests without revision than you are with hours of work put in. His parents had decided to hold him back until his teenage years before he progressed onto university.
In the meantime he worked on various projects by himself. Of course, during his child years he was mainly focused on playing on the swings or watching children's programming. But in his tween years he was more occupied in building models and then moving onto actual working machines. He started with a miniature model of an old retired car model and then eventually moved on to building it from spare parts he took from the junkyard across town.
He majored in mechanics, sciences and mathematics in university. He passed all with flying colours and was now in his late teens and was creating and inventing at an exponential rate. His main objective was to cure the plague that infected his home countries economy and made so many Zenothians like him live in a situation where they had to choose between heating their homes or eating proper quality food. The main problem he had to solve was the ongoing war with Yarop. The war had gone on for many years and no agreement that both countries could agree on without taking a massive part of each other's land could be made. Skeritts only option was to help invent and manufacture weapons. To do so, he had to learn about them first, he decided to do it firsthand and join the Neyar military.
He saw many atrocities during the war, but his keen intellect and expert tactics helped win many battles and got him promoted a great deal before his term of service ended. He quickly got to work manufacturing weapons for the Neyar military before he got back into the line of duty to win more battles and eventually the war. Needless to say, the advanced weaponry added a great advantage to the Neyar military that the opposing force could not replicate in time to win the war. Peace spread over both countries after Neyar had captured Yarop and engulfed it within its own borders and Skeritt was now in the public eye as a massively rich playboy which was only slightly off from the truth. He was massively rich from all the weapons he had sold to the Neyar government and was now spending his time using that money to repair and rebuild various buildings in both countries.
He had also caught the attention of King S'Nireg who had noticed Skeritt after it was revealed that he had both contributed new weaponry and his own life to the Neyar army. He began to talk more and more with Skeritt and they soon became good friends with King S'Nireg eventually appointing Skeritt as his high justiciar and leading general. Skeritt also made huge advances in the space travel industry with the help of a crack team of scientists provided by the governments of just about every country in the hope that if it advanced enough it would unite the planet of Zenoth in mutual exploration. Surprisingly enough, it did. They began to discover new worlds filled with life primitive to theirs and Skeritt began to discover the corrupt, general Lorpos. Lorpos was largely xenophobic and racist and disliked the fact that the other countries were co-operating with Neyar in its space advancements. He eventually convinced the young and naive Skeritt that the planets should have been overtaken by the Zenoth empire and used as various prison or mining planets. Skeritt may have been smart, but he was not wise.
The Zenoth empire began a universal holocaust, killing off entire races and selling slaves of said races to the highest bidder. When they reached Earth though, they faced a bigger challenge. Earth's first form of alien contact was a threat, and a threat that Lady Asyr did not like. She gathered many of the best superheroes along with a few of the villains to fight against the Zenoth empire. Skeritt could never have expected what had happened next. Lady Asyr tore through squadrons like paper and with the help of the other superpeople it was just a matter of time until the fleet fell. Skeritt managed to rise from the ashes though and dedicated himself to killing Lady Asyr and rebuilding the Zenoth fleet.
He started off with intelligence gathering. He began to learn the language at night by hiding in dark alleys and at various docks while shipments came in. He then moved on to rebuilding some of the technology that he had used on his home planet. His base of operations was in an abandoned warehouse on the docks and he began by rebuilding the plasma rifle largely used in the Zenothian military as a base weapon for its soldiers. The only problem was that he didn't have the proper equipment to extract the plasma from things like lightning or neon lighting. He opted to use a rather primitive form of weaponry and made makeshift bullets for his rifle.
He began a rampage of terror on the city, his suit was largely damaged and its flight function was broken, but he soon caught the attention of Lady Asyr. She made short work of him to say the least, but spared his life. She eventually convinced him to turn to the side of good under her supervision or risk being pinned down on a table and cut open like a frog in a biology project. Of course, she was only joking, but sarcasm was a foreign concept to Skeritt at that point. She began to teach him about the human race, among other things that they had discovered and invented. Skeritt began to become less and less like the man that General Lorpos had converted him into and into a new, merciful man. He began to realize the error of his past ways and went through a short period of depression before deciding that he would start to right his wrongs and stop General Lorpos from spreading more corruption.
He rebuilt one of the smaller Zenothian ships with the help of the US government and Lady Asyr before returning home to Zenoth and telling king S'Nireg about General Lorpos evil ways. He banished Lorpos to one of the prison planets and with the help of Skeritt began to release the slaves forced to mining and all the people wrongfully accused within the prison planets before converting most of the mining and prison planets back to their original states.
Skeritt then returned to Earth to assist it's heroes in their crusade against Earth's villains. In doing so, he created the first ever sentient robot, Asclepius who was originally built to just be a medical droid. He vowed never to create another sentient robot again after that though, as he soon discovered that Asclepius could feel pain and was horrified that he had created such a thing.
How do they take the death of Lady Asyr?:
As one of the major people helping in his rehabilitation, Skeritt was devastated by the news of Lady Asyr's humiliation and oncoming death. He worked as hard as he could, with the aid of, Asclepius his trusty sentient medi-bot. Alas, it was a failed attempt and he did not have nearly enough time to complete his antidote which only prolonged her suffering in his eyes.

I'll get an app up tomorrow, It's insanely late right now and I doubt I'll even be awake to see the OOC up.
And for that matter, would an alien character be okay?
Interested, I'll probably take that scientist position as well as have him being an intel based hero.
Osla woke up to the sound of shouts and arguing below. Obviously that Ernst chap she had met last night was getting a bit frisky with another member of the group of heaven forbid some stableboy that had charged him tuppence too much. An audible
"BY THE GODS CAN I GET SOME SLEEP FOR ONCE" could be heard from Osla's room as she threw off her bed sheets and rose from the hard wooden bed. It seems that she had gotten a bit too drunk last night and hadn't bothered to take off one of the gauntlets on her hand before going to sleep. Another indicator of the amount she had drunk was the splitting hangover induced headache that was making every noise feel like a Dwarvern smith was making a shiny new battleaxe out of her skull. She only knew one cure for a hangover, and that was what caused it in the first place, drink.
She put on the rest of her arm and hung her sword on her side along with her bow on her back before descending down the stairs, tying her hair back as she did. She looked at the people from her group sitting at the table monetarily before turning to the barkeep.
"Hard ale please" was all she said. As soon as it was served she took a swig and moved over to the table where Kat sat.
"So what was all that commotion about, Ernst getting on yer' nerves?"
