Name: 4TR-S
Alias: Fortress
Status: Villain
Appearance:
5 meters (16.4 ft) tall and weighing in at around 75 tons. Basically a thinking, bipedal tank.
Age: Unknown.
Gender: None.
Powers:
Strength- Can lift up to 100 tons without strain (thats about the weight of an unloaded Commercial Airplane), possibly a bit more with some effort or help.
Sturdy Body- About as armored as a military grade tank, and weighs about as much as one too. Sacrifices speed and mobility for high defense.
Immunity- Poisons, diseases, and gases have no effect, seeing as its body is non-organic in nature.
Nightvision- Can see in the dark, as well as emit a glow and concentrated beam of light.
Abilities/Skills:
Focus- Once Fortress puts its mind to a task it is extremely difficult to distract it from it. Can be a negative or positive trait depending on the situation, honestly.
Security- Its "mental" defenses (firewalls) are as strong as its physical ones. It can function as a walking digital safe and is an excellent secret keeper. Since its mind is non-organic, it can not be affected by the psychic powers of telepaths or empaths.
Magic Buff- Fortress is an engineered blend of ancient technology and mystical runes that give it a protective buff against weapons and spells magical in nature.
Equipment:
Conversion Engine- The core, the primary organ of this mechanical creature. Taps into natural energy of surroundings and efficiently converts it into a renewable and long-lasting power source. Fortress can run until its body or the Earth and Sun themselves give out first.
Motherboard- The "brain" which can store terabytes of information and a crude but innovative program known as the Artificially Intelligent Prototype Operating System (AIPOS). This is what separates Fortress from other mindless machines and gives it the freedom to think of creative solutions and make decisions for itself. Though it still tends towards a submissive attitude and seeks validation from someone it views as "superior", a more independent personality is slowly but surely being formed from its experiences with the people around it, much like a newborn child.
History: Fortress is a relic of a time long since passed. Where Jump City now stands, there used to be an ancient yet technologically advanced civilization that was bordering on a Utopia. However, it eventually collapsed due to an unfortunate series of natural disasters that quite literally buried it beneath the sands of time.
During a perimeter excavation to expand the city limits, remains of this civilization were uncovered, as well as a dormant 4TR-S unit. Exposure to sunlight was enough to re-activate it and it perceived the excavators as trespassers and possible threats and tried to force them out, injuring many of the civil workers. The city police were sent out to investigate and neutralize the threat, but their weapons had no effect and Fortress refused to surrender what it considered its territory, resulting in the current standstill.
Other: At the moment, Fortress is disoriented from "waking up" in a new era and is unaware of the fate of its makers, who have been dead for thousands of years. Fortress is not a villain in the traditional sense, but is very much a threat to the people around it. Technically, it could be considered a neutral status in the beginning, but I am hoping it can be recruited to the villain's side as a useful partner or lackey, seeing as it doesn't really possess a refined sense of human morals, lacks knowledge of the laws and customs of the modern world, and need someone new to follow. Perhaps Dark Matter would like a little company in the junkyard?
