Comic relief oriented cyborg-priest

Birdsie

The God-Emperor of Mankind
This character is... A ROUGH DRAFT/CONCEPT/IDEA. Inspired by the W40k Techpriests, this is a very comedic approach at... I can't exactly determine what. Regardless, this character's primary focus is to be used in a Sci-Fi RP, perhaps something with a D&D climate to it. He is obviously comic relief oriented as you will soon see below.


Tell me what you think, please!

Name: Lorem Ferri, but now he goes by TP-00110110-00111001 (although friends call him Techy, for short.) TP for Techpriest.


Type: Cyborg, so many mechanical augmentations that he can barely be considered human anymore.


Age: "CRITICAL ERROR 404. Data not found. Attempt recovery? Yes. Recovery partly successful. Answer: Hundreds of years."


Gender: "I am unable to copulate. I replaced my genitals with a power outlet. I did, however, use to be a male individual in my fleshy days."


Appearance: 


Biography: (NOTE, THIS MAY UNDERGO SERIOUS CHANGE DEPENDING WHAT ROLEPLAY THIS IS USED FOR.) Lorem was born in a big, urban city on a remote planet in the most godforsaken part of the galaxy; also known as Earth. At early age, he had taken a particular interest in computers, spending his afternoons by playing computer games, fattening himself with Cheetos and other childish shenanigans. Only after the discovery of space travel was made did he consider actually getting a life. His views on life changed drastically as he discovered that alien species existed, so he decided to get help. Spiritual help. Seeking aid from a priest, he hoped to find refuge in religion. Yet what he found was not satisfying to him. Condensed and overwhelming tremors of delight filled his mind after he found out that he could now implant his body with new, mechanical elements. At the same time, he discovered the Cult of the Omnissiah. The Cult believed that all machines had a spirit of enormous power and that all machines were collected in a web of technology that was controlled by the Omnissiah; the great machine-god. They believed that through cybernetical implantation, one could become closer to the Omnissiah until they became one. In that religion, to achieve a form of heaven and preservation in data; one had to become a cyborg.


To say the least; Loren was eager to join the Cult. After many, grotesque implantations and surgeries of mechanical elements into his body he was left more machine than man - something he took pride and found joy in. He went on a pilgrimage, or more like - crusade across the galaxy. He visited mostly remote, feral planets full of uneducated ruffians wild brutes that were barely stepping onto the fringes of civilized society. Like the good techpriest and engineseer he is - he educated the savages about the great wonders of technology!





 








Soon after, he decided to try new, various careers. He gave relationship advice, became a master of karate and other martial arts (he later deemed them useless and removed them from his memory,) a tech support worker and later he owned a service repair. Eventually, he made the choice that he thought he should have done long ago; long before he even implanted himself with any technology: Get. A. Life. And as such, began his great adventure across the milky way galaxy and the vast void of the boundless cosmos. The universe held many secrets within the great light-years of space. However, Techy did not give up! He is out on an adventure to rekindle his passion for computers and technology in general. His main goals is to discover tombs and leftover technologies of ancient, dead civilizations and use them to build new, great inventions and make breakthroughs and discoveries. He also wishes to collect any artifacts of religious value (therefore any rare technology) to him.


Strength:

  • One with the Machine: Is 99% machine. He has power outlets, generates wi-fi signals, can hack anything remotely. He can also play music like a big, walking speaker. Has an inbuilt database, not to mention the radio system and multiple other forms of communication and smart self-management he has.


    125 Petabytes of memory: Lorem recalls all events perfectly because his eyes have been replaced with cameras that always record. He can also delete his memories if he sees something he does not like or if it's not relevant.
  • iTough: Cold, heat, bullets, they matter not to Techy, for he is protected by the Omnissiah's mighty machines.
  • Linguist: Understands all languages and can also communicate with machines by a form of telepathic data exchange, or with binary codes.

[*]Engineering Aptitude: Need a ration dispenser, sentry gun, cybernetical augmentation, ammunition, a new gun, computer, or anything technology-related? You know who to ask.


Weakness:

  • Water: Techy's greatest weakness is water. Pour too much of it on him and he'll hardwire.
  • EM Waves: This applies to nearly all machines, but still.
  • Viruses: Pesky little bastards. His anti-virus is capable, but some really malignant bugs can bypass it. Then he MIGHT be forced to do a format, which would remove all of his memory irreversibly.
  • Technology Freak: Will panic if he loses his wi-fi signal.


Equipment:

  • Spare parts for himself. A safe copy of his memory in case a format is needed, it is updated every week.
  • Tools, some inbuilt, some handheld.
  • Other pieces of equipment, technology, and parts of different sorts. All kept within safe compartments in either his priest robes, engineering suit, or body.
  • Weapons:

    Circular Saw: May be used to cut things. Very sharp and deadly.
  • Wrench: Although it is obviously mostly used for engineering work, it's blunt force is more than enough to give someone a concussion.
  • Cutting Laser: Attached to a limb-like appendage on his back, this laser can be used to cut metals or other items with great precision, however, it is ineffective at the range of 150 centimeters or more.
  • Plasma Pistol: Definitely the most destructive of his weapons, Techy carries around a self-made Plasma Pistol. Although this is nothing special, as each member of the Cult of the Omnissiah is known to carry around a sidearm. The work of a true artisan, this deadly sidearm does not use normal bullets. Loaded with a container full of hydrogen, this substance is then heated up once within the weapon. The amount of heat vaporizes the gas turning it into a deadly, hot plasma. Each shot can melt through armor and rend bones and flesh apart extremely easily. As deadly as it is, it has a limited supply of ammunition and some time must pass between each shot, lest this dangerous firearm will explode. Can also be triggered to explode, much like a plasma grenade.

  • Self-made Wargear: Techy is skilled enough with the craft of creation that he can make new weapons, ammunition, automatic sentry turrets, grenades and gods-know-what-else in the midst of battle.

  • Other: Multiple tools, screwdrivers, axes, chainsaws, chain-axes, swords, chain-sword-axes and fuel tanks-that-may-or-may-not-be-used in a flamethrower find a home as a part of his equipment roster. Due to the excessive amount of machines of war he hauls around, he's the most dangerous person to be around in the nearest five parsecs.



Additional Info: His real name (Lorem Ferri) roughly translates to "Iron Technology."

"And thaaat's the power of technology, kids." - Teaching brute savages and tribesmen of ancient Terra about how catapults work. He said it shortly after they all gasped at the sight of him launching several bombs at a castle. Since then, there was a restraining order against Techy visiting feral planets with races of technological development below steam engines.


"Have you considered cybernetical implantation and servo-slavery?" - Giving relationship advice.


"Try to appease the machine's spirit, then pray to the Omnissiah, apply holy oils to the motherboard and lastly - reset your computer." - As tech support.


"If you want to learn karate in one day, I can only offer to replace your brain with a computer and install a karate program onto it." - As a dojo master.


Theme Song:
 
I like the idea of a robot preacher travelling around the galaxy trying to “convince” ungrateful barbarians of the wonders of modern society gadgets from TV-shop.
