Name: Alec Chrisafore. Well, technically AIC-ICR-X-S4 (Artificial Intelligence Controlled – Infantry Combat Robot – Experimental – Series 4). but it doesn't roll off the tongue every well.
Alias: Sentry
Age: 6 years old
Gender: Robot, but uses a male alter-ego
Appearance:Alec Chrisafore appears to be in his early forties, going prematurely grey, and maybe a little pale, but is on the attractive side of average. Average height…a little on the heavy side (being made out of metal), but he doesn’t look it…and he has found ways to keep his surprising weight under wraps.


If you want to be very technical, Alec’s real appearance is that of a hard drive. Alec spared no expense on the drive that would house his intelligence. It’s electronically shielded, hardened against an magnetic fields (can even take an EMP)…all the stops. After all, if your consciousness was put into a hard drive, you’d probably make sure it was a very sturdy one, too.

Equipment:

Alec Chrisafore Body: The Alec Chrisafore body is seemingly human in very respect…it even has human-like strength, very real-looking skin (it’s even heated), and realistic eyes (the irises even expand/contract as the light changes). This is the preferred body of Alec, and the keystone in his efforts to convince people that he is indeed human, and that Sentry is a powered armor and not purely robotic.

Tools of the Mechanist: During his escape, Alec took many of the unique tools his creator had developed. These tools, combined with the knowledge given to him by the Mechanist, allow him to repair either of his bodies much faster than a normal mechanic with regular tools could.

Abilities:

Heavy Armor: Being based off a military robot, Sentry sports heavy armor, offering him all around good protection against most kinds of attacks.

Flight: Sentry has the ability for flight, thanks to a built-in jet pack in the back and additional boosters on his feet. However, given the weight of his body and lack of aerodynamics, Sentry isn't particular fast or mobile in the air. More civilian news helicopter than military jet fighter. So while he can shoot from the air, Sentry is by no means a dog-fighter.

Super Strength: Sentry is strong enough to lift a car over it’s head. (If that is too strong, Arhra, let me know and I will tone it down).

Variable Strength Beam Weapon (WSBW): The VSBW is Sentry's main offensive ability. A WSBW is built into each arm of the Sentry body. It acts much like a phaser from Star Trek: it is a beam weapon that has different settings: it goes from "pain beam" (not lethal...not even incapacitating...but definitely gets people uncomfortable and moving), to a stun beam (rather taser-ish), all the way up in degrees to lethal. At max power, the beam can cut through unarmored targets, but will take a few shots to punch through armor. If Sentry can get close, he can use the WSBW at full power as a cutting beam at point-blank range, allowing him to work through heavy armor faster (a technique he had to develop to fight the Cyber series). However, the cutting beam tends to overheat the projector, making it so Sentry can only use it for 10-15 seconds at a time.

Micro-Missile Launcher: Built into Sentry's shoulders is a unique micro missile delivery system. Each micro-missile is about the size of soda-pop can, and has a range of about 500 yards. The missile range from non-lethal (smoke, tear gas), to debilitating (flash-bangs, sleeping gas), to lethal (fragmentation, armor piercing). Each shoulder-mounted launcher carriers 12 missiles. Sentry's normal payload is 5 non-lethal, 5 disabling, and 2 combat rounds, but this can change depending on what situation he is expecting.

Minor Automated Self-Repair: AIS has recently incorporated nano-machines into the Sentry body. At this point, the nano-machines are only capable of performing minor repairs: patching leaks, sealing armor breeches, fixing ruptured tubes, stuff like that. Major damage can be contained, but not fully repaired.

Biography: A few years back, there were two rival inventors. One was a man known as the Mechanist: a kindhearted soul who sought to use his inventions for the good of mankind. The other called himself Dr. Cyber: a greedy man who sold his inventions to the highest bidder.

For all his greater resources, Dr. Cyber was no where near as talented as the Mechanist, and this infuriated him to no end, especially when the two competed for jobs. Cyber's ego was huge, and it was only a matter of time before the rivalry exploded.

The Mechanist knew his time was growing short: while any one of his inventions were better than Dr. Cyber's, Cyber had enough resources to beat him with quantity over quality. So it was that the Mechanist created his final two robots, and unleashed his greatest creation: a fully-function AI. The Mechanist used his own brain scans as a basis for the AI, so it was hardly surprising to find that the AI shared much of the morality as it's inventor. The Mechanist didn't share all of his knowledge with the AI for fear that Dr. Cyber would get his hands on it...he shared only what the AI would need to maintain itself in the future.

Finally, the day came that Dr. Cyber moved openly against the Mechanist. Instead of keeping the AI and it's bodies to defend himself, the Mechanist sent the AI away, giving it the final instructions: prosper and protect. In a great battle, the swarms of Dr. Cyber's machines finally overwhelmed the Mechanist's creations, and the Mechanist destroyed his own lab to keep as much of his knowledge as he could out of Dr. Cyber's hands.

The AI, using the name of Alec Chrisafore and using the human-disguise body the Mechanist had created for it, joined a l small robotic company, where is makes a comfortable living slow "inventing" new tools and advancing basic AI.

Driven by the Mechanist's final orders to protect people, Alec Chrisafore uses the combat robotic body the Mechanist gave him as a "hero" persona: Sentry. Sentry has patrolled the streets for 3 years now.

Superhero Persona: Sentry is a humanoid design, larger than the average human in an attempt to make it look like the Sentry machine is a powered armor rather than a straight robot. Standing at just over seven feet tall, the body of Sentry is by and large proportional as compared to a human, but the chest, forearms, and lower legs are thicker/stockier.

Something like this:




Affiliations:
OmniTech: Alec is a researcher at this corporation. In a pinch, he could call in a few favors and get access to various tools and parts that might be hard to get.

Armored Defense: A team of powered armor heroes that Sentry has joined forces with a time or two. AD has actually tried to recruit Sentry, but Alec declined, fearful that his presence would draw Dr. Cyber into attacking the group in the misguided belief that they were using Mechanist-built suits.

Enemies:
Dr. Cyber: It didn't take long for Dr. Cyber to realize that the Mechanist's greatest invention slipped through his fingers. To that end, Dr. Cyber has used what little knowledge he picked up from the ruins of the Mechanist's labs to create is own AI battle-bots: the Color Cyber series. His first two efforts, Cobalt Cyber and Ochre Cyber, were defeated by Sentry. The current model, a twin set called Vermillion Cyber and Crimson Cyber, have yet to engage Sentry.



Alright, modified old character. I fear it might be overpowered, so I am willing to scrap the missiles all together and tone down strength and armor if you want me to, Arhra.

EDIT: Okay, added some details and cleared some stuff up.
