===POWERS===
Powers:Rex’s body contains nanites, microscopic machines that alter his biology, giving Rex his powers. Rex also harbors the Omega-1 nanite, a special nanite that helps control Rex’s active nanites, as well as replicating nanites on its own. The nanites grant Rex the following powers:
Technopathy-The nanites in Rex’s body allow for Rex to control machines through physical contact. In Rex’s own words, he “hears’ machines, he is able to gain a full understanding of a machine and it’s functions and controls them individually. Along with controlling a machine’s primary functions, he can also reprogram machines. The limit at which the size of the machine can be as unknown, so far Rex has controlled an entire mechanical base. A backfire to this ability is when Rex hears too many voices while controlling a machine, he will lose consciousness.
Machine manifestation- Rex can shape his nanites into machines for offense, defense, or transportation. The machines can be destroyed with enough force, but Rex can usually regrow it immediately after. Rex cannot create machines if he is exhausted, it will usually break apart before it’s even complete. The machines Rex can create are:
Smack handsFunction: A pair of giant mechanical hands. The smack hands give Rex incredible strength for punches and smacks, they also give Rex incredible reach. When forming a fist, Rex can rotate them at high speeds to either increase his punching power or drill through earth.
Weakness: The smack hands increases Rex’s reach so far that he can’t really touch his own body, if someone were to get in past his strike range then he’d be at a serious disadvantage while the machines were still active.
Block partyFunction: A pair of gloves that form shields of highly energized atoms. He can either make personal shields on either or each hand, or create a full dome around himself or others. The barrier can effectively guard against energy-based attacks and can withstand an extensive amount of damage.
Weakness: Although the shields are effective against energy based attacks, they cannot take much punishment from physical attacks.
Bad AxesFunction: Axes on Rex’s arms are able to cleanly cut through most materials with relative ease.
Weakness: Activating the axes means Rex loses a functioning hand, replacing it for a lethal weapon which could make him dangerous around team mates as well as enemies
Zap cannonFunction: The Zap cannon is a fairly large rifle on Rex’s arm connected by a cable to a slim generator on his back. The rifle draws electricity from the generator, condenses it, and fires an electrical blast from the muzzle. The muzzle can change width, it can be narrow for precise piercing shots, medium for regular blasts, or large for big explosive shots.
Weakness: Reload times between each shot give the opponent the opportunity to close in on Rex between each shot and if the cable is cut Rex can’t fire the cannon until he gets rid of it and makes a new one.
Boogie packFunction: Two wings with turbines on Rex’s back, the boogie pack allows for air and underwater travel at high speeds. Rex can fire the turbines like bolas and create grappling hooks from them.
Weakness: The boogie pack is physically the weakest of Rex’s machines and can easily be destroyed with a moderate amount of force.
Punk bustersFunction: Two large mechanical greaves with spikes on the bottom that increases Rex’s height. The boots increase his jumping potential, being able to jump 150 feet in the air, and exponentially increase his kicking power.
Weakness: It’s difficult for Rex to see things directly below him with the boots on, so he can be a bit of a liability
Rex rideFunction: A hover bike made from Rex’s feet which allows for travel over land and sea and can go over 200 miles per hour. The bike also has a retractable battering ram for offense and defense.
Weakness: The velocity of the bike can also be used against Rex if they cause him to crash.
Wall brawlersFunction: Rex creates a pair of slim greaves with large metal wheels on his heels. The wheels spin and let out a magnetic polarity of Rex choosing, allowing Rex to travel on the ground and along walls and ceilings. The wheels have cords attached, Rex can send them forward to stick to other surfaces and pull himself toward them. He can also send them toward an enemy to hit them with the heavy wheel and release a sudden magnetic pulse when doing so for greater force with attacks, or to knock away metallic objects.
Weakness: A magnetic pulse of opposite polarity or an EMP can disrupt and destroy Rex’s Wall brawlers.
Full E.V.O formFunction: The full E.V.O form transforms Rex into a mechanical humanoid giant with several of his machines mixed in. His giant stature gives him colossal strength as well as functions of all his machines that are present in this transformation. Rex cannot consciously activate into this transformation and seems to initiate itself when he is in dire need of it
Weakness: Rex cannot control himself in this form and can cause collateral damage on a massive scale. It is unknown exactly what’ll happen to Rex when he reverts back to his regular form as the last time this happened he developed amnesia, he will be unconscious for several days following the use of the full E.V.O form.
Nanite extraction- Rex can extract the Nanites that alter a being’s physiology in order to effectively “cure” them and revert them back to their original state. There are some risks however if Rex carries too many Nanites from other E.V.Os he grows metallic tumorous sacks on his body and if he absorbs corrupted Nanites he runs the risk of throwing his own body’s balance off. This ability seems to be useless for now since Rex is no longer in a dimension where Nanites exist beside his own.
Enhanced Physiology-The nanites have improved his overall physiology, allowing for enhanced speed(though not much without the use of his machines), durability(he has survived the G force of an ascending space elevator and being thrown through three stone pillars and still surviving), stamina, and agility. The nanite also boost Rex’s immune system, giving him an accelerated healing factor that can repair organ functions, fights off diseases and toxins, and can sense and eradicate unwanted foreign objects.
Skills:Hand-to-hand combat- Rex is trained in different forms of hand-to-hand combat, making him a formidable opponent.
Acrobat- Rex is a skilled acrobat
Gifted intelligence- Although it might not seem like it, Rex has a gifted mind, being able to solve complicated equations in a matter of seconds and apply it in a fight and he also seems to fully understand the dimensions of machines and nanites as it is explained to him without withholding any complex explanations
Trilingual- Speaks English, Spanish, and Chinese, but it is noted that Rex often mispronounces Spanish words.
Weaknesses:Individual machine weaknesses- Each of Rex’s machines has an exploitable weakness, a god amount which could result to his indefinite defeat if he isn’t careful
Electromagnetic pulse- An EMP could effectively shut down and destroy Rex’s machines and make him unable to create another one for a certain period of time depending on the strength of the EMP
Magnetism- Because of the nature of Rex’s powers, a powerful magnet could attract Rex’s machines or those with magnetic powers can easily control Rex while he has an active machine. Those whose magnetic abilities are powerful enough could even control the Nanites within him to move his body without a machine active or, worst case scenario, rip the Nanites from his body, killing him depending on what they damage on the way out.
Selenium production- Rex’s powers are run by gravity and produce Selenium as a side-effect. Rex also produces Selenium and can be tracked because of this.
Equipment:Goggles-The goggles Rex uses allows for a variety of visions such as thermal, night vision, telescopic, microscopic, and nanoscopic vision.
===PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE===
Personality:Rex is arrogant, reckless, aggressive, impulsive, and head strong. He likes to keep moving forward and when something is in his way he prefers to tackle it head on and smash it. He is also quite quick witted, often making jokes and sarcastic remarks which can either cheer people up or just annoy them. Despite this though, Rex’s kindness is unquestionable, much of what he does is purely for the benefit of other people and he never lets himself forget it. He has an empathetic side, often stepping into other shoes and trying to be sensitive toward them, even some villains, though he can pick the difference between someone being misunderstood and someone having bad intentions.
Despite his straightforwardness, Rex is extremely clever and knows how to use his brains to his advantage, if he can’t overpower his opponent he’ll take the time to outsmart them and use his versatile powers in creative ways. He also knows very well that his big mouth is yet another weapon and would use it even to play his enemies against each other.
All in all though Rex is heroic with a great sense of righteousness and will tackle any mission if it means he’s stopping somebody from doing any harm.
Strengths: Rex is incredibly stubborn and wouldn’t retreat from a fight unless lives depended on it
Interests/Habits: Anime, Spanish soap operas
===PERSONAL BACKGROUND===
Family Members:Rafael Salazar (Father, deceased)
Violeta Salazar (Mother, deceased)
Caesar Salazar (Brother)
Place of Origin: Geneva, Switzerland (his universe)
Current City: Jump City/Steel City
History:Rex was born to two scientists, Rafael and Violeta Salazar, in Geneva, Switzerland where he lived there with his parents and his brother Caesar. His parents and brother were brilliant scientists who traveled the world before Rex was born, they worked on the Nanite Project, a project that focused on microscopic machines that could be utilized for many purposes, they just didn’t know what purpose to use them for yet.
During the project, Rex sustained critical injuries during an industrial accident caused by the scientists who were disputing how the Nanites should be used. The scientists, along with Rafael, Violeta, Caesar, and their friend Gabriel, injected Rex with the original programmed Nanites, in hopes that they would save Rex’s life as well as show the scientists they were working for the greater good. The Nanite injection was a success, Rex’s life was saved, but he also gained some abilities due to the Nanites, this only reinforced their belief. Sometime later, the laboratory exploded, release the Nanites into the world and infecting every living being with them, these Nanites began to cause some of those infected with them to mutate, gaining the title “E.V.O”. Only Rex, Caesar, and Gabriel survived, Rex had lost his memory of the event.
Soon after, Rex traveled to Hong Kong. He fell in with Quarry, an E.V.O crime lord and became his top lieutenant. He later befriended three incurable E.V.Os, Tuck, Skwydd, and Cricket, who did not have knowledge of Rex’s involvement with Quarry. He later traded his friend’s lives to Quarry in return for his own freedom from him and left Hong Kong.
A few years later Rex emerged in Mexico, transformed into a giant Bio-mechanical E.V.O who was wreaking havoc. Providence, an organization whose object was to contain E.V.O outbreaks, sent in a group of agents, including their special operatives, Agent Six and White Knight, to stop Rex. After he sustained heavy damage, Rex crashed into a nearby building and reverted back to his human form, losing all memory before the event. Six found Rex under the building and, although he was reluctant to help him, sympathized with him because of his amnesia. When Six was attacked by an E.V.O, Rex quickly acted and cured it, reverting it back to its true form. Stunned, Six returned Rex to Providence to inform Dr. Holiday, a scientist who was looking for a cure for E.V.Os instead of having to kill them. They found this method effective, but Six grew suspicious about his partner White Knight and the head scientist’s intention. When they caged Holiday and tried to dissect Rex, they failed due to Rex’s E.V.O form’s safety mechanism and Six’s interference, resulting in Holiday replacing the former head researcher and White Knight’s cleansing, becoming the only one in the world without Nanites.
From that day on Rex began working for Providence, put in charge of curing E.V.Os they found. Eventually they began to bump heads with Van Kleiss, a man bent on furthering the E.V.Os evolution rather than stopping it. Rex found Gabriel once again who injected him with the Omega-1 nanite to help further his powers, and Caesar tracked down Rex and began to work for him, and the progressed from there.
Breach, one of Van Kleiss’ henchmen who had the ability to create portals, began to question what she was doing with Van Kleiss, she began to actually look at Rex as a friend, but was reluctant to trust him. Van Kleiss attempted to advance Breach’s power beyond her limitations, creating portals even to different time periods. Rex tried to save Breach, but an apparent implosion caused by Breach’s powers transported Rex to some city. He tried to contact providence, but received no answer. After some research he found out that there were no E.V.O outbreaks or even anything related to Nanites. He came to a nearly impossible conclusion, he had been transported to another reality.
Sample RP”Well this isn’t exactly the ride I was looking for.” When Rex heard they were going to an amusement park, he figured he was up for a day off for fun, roller coasters, cotton candy, of course knowing White Knight he should’ve known this wasn’t what he had in mind, and now he found himself hanging on for dear life to a mutated Doberman. However that thing got there, he had to cure it and get it out, it’d be hard to do hanging on the side of that thing.
Rex that thing is causing serious collateral damage, you have to put him down now.”Oh I’m sorry, let me start trying then.” Rex was a bit frustrated that Six statignt he obvious in this sort of situation, but he knew he was right, he had to act now. Mustering up his strength, Rex pulled himself to stand on its back. He ran toward the head and jumped forward, putting a bit of a spin on it. He formed the smack hands on his arms and gave the giant freakish dog a punch to the side, knocking it on its side. Rex landed on his feet and extended the large arm, motioning the E.V.O to attack him, taunting him.
”Bring it, Fido.” Almost on command, the dog ran with vicious eyes and foaming mouth at Rex. He went to deliver a punch, but the dog was quick. He clamped his teeth down on Rex’s arm, ripping the machine right out. Obviously trying to stay up close wasn’t going to work too well, he had to keep him away.
As soon as Rex got the chance he grew his boogie pack and flew upward. Sadly his little strategy wouldn’t work with the pack on, so he got a good distance away and drew his zap cannon. He widened the muzzle to make sure he could get maximum punch out of it. The dog turned and ran at him again. He fired around at him, the dog dodged it, then he dodged the next one, and the next one. He seriously underestimated the dog’s agility. He looked to the side and saw a bunch of boardwalk came with the canopies over them, now he knew what to do. [color=orange]”Fine, let’s play fetch then. He quickly got rid of the cannon and adopted the hover bike, riding off just in time to avoid being lunch. Just as anyone would figure, the dog began to chase Rex.
”That’s right, follow me.” He held out his left arm and formed an axe on it. He held it out and cut the beams that held up the canopies, the Doberman fell right into it, becoming entangled in the mess, no Rex had his chance.
He turned the bike around and rode to crash into one of the games, launching him in the air. The bike was now gone and he grew a smack hand on his right arm. He brought it down with a powerful punch to keep the dog down. He found an exposed part and placed his hand on it. Taking a breath, Rex concentrated and felt the Nanites inside of the dog, separating them and taking them in himself. The dog miniaturized and returned to normal size. It shook itself free, whimpering then running off.
”Now that’s taking a dog for a walk. Rex to Providence, the situation is under control.”I don’t think you’re out of the dog house yet.Rex turned around to find four different breeds of dogs, mutated and all, standing with their eyes fixated on him. He slumped his shoulders and let out a frustrated sigh,
”My work is never done.”
