Summary: A man triggers and is turned into an Android.
Alexander's first memory was of awakening inside of a computer with no body or senses. Actually, that wasn't completely true. He could sense the machines all around him, like little tones in the background. Alexander somehow knew he could control them, change them. The knowledge of why came to him from the internet. The history of this world. The appearance of Scion and the Parahumans. Real life Superheros and Villains come to life. It was like something out of a comic book. He, Alexander Lucius Myers, had Triggered. He was now a Parahuman on another Earth. He had triggered with the powers of Technopathy and Cyberpathy.
Focusing his attention outwards through several cameras Alexander saw a high tech lab he did not recognize and the body of an Asian man who had bled out on the floor. After panicking, which was weird as he no longer had any biological hormones that caused panic, Alexander started communing with the lab's computers. The lab was actually part of a fallout shelter built by Robert Tao, a Tinker with amoral/villainous leanings who liked to be called Dupot. Dupot had been kidnapping people in order to transform them into powerful android servants completely loyal to him. Tao had discovered Alexander's sudden appearance on this Earth, something that wasn't of his doing, and had snatched him before anyone else could.
Unfortunately for Tao Alexander had killed him when he had Triggered right after his consciousness had been transferred into the computer for storage until he could be transferred to the new android body. Alexander had also been his first "success". Alexander would have scowled if he was physically able. He still did it mentally.
Alexander knew that his intelligence had gone up. Things just seemed to click with him and he could recall perfectly his entire life. Though the fragmented memories of being awake inside of his mother's womb he deleted, as well as his memories of breast feeding and pretty much the majority of his first year of life. Also the time he walked in on his parent's having sex. There were just some things people shouldn't remember.
Going through Tao's files Alexander had discovered that there was no way to transfer his being back into his real body now that it was dead. Tao's tech didn't allow for it. He had gone through all of Tao's tech hundreds of times in less than a minute. Alexander growled in frustration. While his body had been nothing special, it was his, and human. He was a freak now, machine. Hell he was more of a machine than Darth Vader had ever been!
To burn off some of his anger Alexander had gone to war on several criminal organizations across the globe. Quickly outing them and turning the information he found the authorities. He also went after dozens of pedophiles who had thought they had cleverly hidden their child porn. His actions would lead to the arrest of close to two hundred pedophiles of both sexes.
Even still Alexander wanted a body. He mentally scowled at the thought of transferring into the inferior android body Tao had created. Already Alexander's mind was thinking of how to build a better, more advanced one. Growling Alexander initiated the integration process. Darkness took him before he "felt" himself moving, being transferred into his new body.
Forcing the restraints to release him Alexander took his first steps in his newest body.
He stared off into space, focusing intensely on his body. It felt very weird, his senses muted, muffled, parts of them missing. His sense of sight was better than it had ever been but his sense of touch hardly registered and he had absolutely no sense of taste or smell. Ugh!
His hands and arms are made of black metal. Ripping off the hospital gown covering him Alexander gaped slightly as his entire body appeared to be made of the same black metal. Wiggling his fingers Alexander saw the metal fingers reacting as if they were his own. He curled his hands into fists several times and kind of flapped his feet as he had no individual toes.
Looking around him Alexander groaned as he saw his body laying on a table with some machine hooked onto it. Alexander wondered over to it, stumbling slightly. Hesitantly he reached out and poked his body. It did not respond.
"Why!" Alexander roared in a voice not his own before he started smashing things around him in his rage.
Two Weeks Later
Alexander sat communing with he lab's computers. He had started getting used to his new circumstances and even slightly started warming up to it. Being able to control technology and software with his thoughts was very cool he admitted. He could also, begrudgingly, admit that his new body wasn't all bad.
His new body was a lot stronger and faster than his old one. With testing Alexander found he could lift over a ton and run at a constant speed of seventy miles an hour without tiring. Hell he didn't even need to sleep anymore and it had no adverse effects that he or the computer noticed. His body also healed which seemed kind of odd since he wasn't organic but Alexander was glad. He would hate for his body to break down and not be able to repair it before he had his new one built. He still wasn't happy that he couldn't eat or drink anymore. He might not have the urge or the need anymore but Alexander loved food.
His mind was weird now. It looked similar to a human brain but was actually silver in color. It seemed almost infinite in it's capacity to store information. It would also never decay so he would never forget anything unless he decided to.
His sense of sight was a hell of a lot better now than when he was human. Before he had to wear glasses now he could see perfectly. Hell, his eyes were better than good. With some experimentation he now had perfect night-vision and infrared. Which were all pretty much really fucking weird and took some getting used to. He had taken to practicing from time to time to try and get used to it. Hell he could even scan objects with his mind and take pictures and video of anything he was seeing. He had tracked down his powers, Cyberpathy and Free Tinker.
Alexander already had plans to build himself a bigger, better body with many improvements. Thankfully he was both a genius now, and a Tinker. He had access to any education he desired and access to a multi-million dollar bank account courtesy of the dead Mr. Tao. Alexander would have smirked if he could have. He had always wanted to be rich and since Tao had never actually visited the bank they couldn't tell Alexander wasn't him.
Alexander had also spent this time to place him in the system as a real person, establishing an identity as the PRT and other Federal Programs knew how to do. A birth certificate, social security number, school and doctor records. All had been created and inserted in different systems. He even opened a bank account with a few grand inside with various past "transactions". Library books checked out and back in, magazines ordered and cancelled, videos checked out at the video store and returned, and an account a pet supply shop.
-Three Months Later-
It was now time. Alexander's new body was just about ready for him to transfer himself over into it. It had taken time but Alexander had managed to fit many of the extras he wanted inside of it. Alexander stared at his new body, strangely nervous and excited.
His new body stood, or at least would if it were upright, at six feet, seven inches tall and appeared perfectly human in appearance. It had Alexander's slightly tanned skin, his features which he had enhanced to make himself more handsome and his black hair nice and thick. His own had been thinning quite a bit on top. Call him vain if you wanted but this was a body he could design for himself.
His new body was quite a bit more muscular and more defined than his had ever been. It had no body hair except on his chest, arms and legs. Alexander had even given in and added some length and girth to his, *ahem*, equipment. He had by no means been small before but there was always room for improvement. Of course his teeth were white and perfect and made from a special composite that was unbreakable and wound never stain. Alexander's new body was a huge improvement over his old one. Even far superior to his android body given to him by Tao.
While designing his body Alexander had created an entirely new branch of prosthetics. Synthetic skin that could repair itself, synthetic scent receptors, synthetic musculature, synthetic taste buds, synthetic ear drums, synthetic nerves and a synthetic voice box. All of this meant Alexander could now smell, taste, feel, hear, speak in his own voice and hear even better than he could when he was human. Alexander had even designed organs that he himself did not need. If it was an organ in the body could be replaced he had created an alternative and not just human organs but animals too.
With his inventions Alexander could potentially provide sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, speech to the mute, mobility to paraplegics and organs that would never be rejected. With his prosthetics they could walk normally, and even use their arms as if they were the real deal. His Synthetic Skin was a real masterpiece in Alexander's opinion. It could tan, felt like real skin, acted like real skin, creased and even possessed small imperfections that would prevent others for telling it was fake.
To everyone else, and even advanced sensors, Alexander's new body would not appear to anything else than entirely human. Alexander's skin could tan, he could blush, perspire, produce saliva, age if he desired and even ejaculate(even if it was sterile). Hell he even had 'blood' and a pulse and his eyes even dilated correctly. Alexander could even appear to breath and his body would make any of the odd noises a normal human body made that normally went unnoticed. It was capable of a full range of body motions and emoting like moving eye brows, wrinkling his nose, frowning or even smiling. Something he had missed with his first android body. This body would never break down nor would his muscles ever atrophy.
Alexander's arms, he would admit, were pretty fucking awesome. Like Cyborg from the Teen Titans they could morph and change. Unlike cyborg though, both of his arms could do so. Alexander had the option of a laser blaster, regular gun(with a wide ranges of ammo provided by inbuilt nano-fabricators), Gatling gun, Gatling laser, plasma projector, sonic cannon, extendable bladed fingers,clawed fingers, plasma cutters and welders.
He had also added four new vision modes to his body: darkvision, thermal, telescopic and microscopic vision. Along with the ability to fire high powered lasers from his eyes. He had increased his strength allowing him to lift upwards of ten tons and a running speed of three hundred miles per hour. His reflexes were even faster and his senses highly acute. His sense of touch was just as sensitive as a human and he had an actual sense of smell and taste now.
Built inside of his body were a wide range of awesome gadgets, if he did say so himself, and he did. Many would likely call bullshit on them but Alexander would enjoy rubbing their faces in his truth. One thing that hadn't changed was his lack of patience with idiots and a majority of other people. He also hated being called a liar because he hardly ever lied and if he did he was never caught.
Inside his new body were Flight Inducers which allowed him to levitate, glide and fly at great speed. A Transmutation Module which allowed him to transmute non-biological and dead biological components, Kinetic Dampeners giving his body invulnerability and making him bulletproof. Kinetic Amplifiers had been installed in his body which boosted his already inhuman strength and speed by a factor of three. His Telekinetic Modules would allow him to levitate objects and even throw them.
His Elemental Manipulators were something Alexander was especially proud of. With them he access to the abilities of Aerokinesis, Electrokinesis, Hydrokinesis, Cryokinesis, Thermokinesis, Pyrokinesis, Photokinesis, Plásma Aímatoskinesis, and Geokinesis. His nigh-infinite energy source powered his body and weapons and even allowed him to fire beams of intense energy from his eyes. Sue him, Superman was one of his favorite heroes even if he wasn't real.
By far one of his greatest projects was the Shapeshifting module that allowed him to change his shape, appearance, voice and even sex if he wanted to. He even invented modules that allowed him to turn invisible and intangible at will. Martian Manhunter had been another favorite of his. His Bio-Matter to Energy Converter allowed him to turn any solid and liquids he consumed to energy. He would never have to worry about growing fat again, if that were even possible in this body.
Giving himself a shake Alexander refocused his attention.
Hooking up Tao's improved devices to himself with the aid of his servants Alexander braced himself before commanding them to begin his transfer. Consciousness came to him and tears flowed down Alexander's face as his dulled emotions returned to normal. He wept at the sorrow and pain that flowed through him. The horror of having his body violated and changed without his permission. He marveled at the return of his senses.
You could never understand what it was like to not be able to hear and smell as well as you could. It was as if he had been trapped alone with no stimulus. With their return he realized the torture it was to not have them. Running his hands over his body he marveled at his ability to just feel things. Even if his tolerance for extremes was very high now he could still feel cold and heat enough to know that it was cold or hot.
While he wasn't working on his inventions and his new body Alexander had turned his attention the bunker/fallout shelter he now owned. It had it's own generators that ran on water, it's own water refinery/reclaimer and a CO2 to O2 converter along with several several other air filtration systems. It had several green houses, high tech labs, manufacturing rooms, several store rooms, a large kitchen, a large infirmary, locker rooms and a large swimming pool with a hot tub and sauna. The giant refrigerators and freezers had special Tinker tech that locked the food in a perfect suspended animation so it would stay fresh potentially for centuries. The lights were special as well as they let out wave lengths that boosted the health of the occupants like artificial sunlight since they couldn't get real sunlight underground.
Alexander had improved the fallout shelter as well. He had created his own robotic servants to help him expand the shelter. It was now capable of comfortably housing twenty people. Alexander updated the wiring inside and made the generators smaller but more powerful, efficient and completely wireless. The water purifiers and water reclaimers were also updated, making them smaller and more efficient. Several water collectors of his own design had been deployed topside disguised as rocks and other detritus. He had added a library, a theater, a large sitting room, a large dining room and a game room. If he was going to be living there he wanted the best he could go for.
Alexander was currently lounging in his sitting room and consuming a bunch of junk food while watching television. He was moaning as he ate. Everything tasted so good after not having taste buds in his other body. Alexander had always loved food and had considered himself an amateur chef. This had led him to being a little chunky as he didn't really like exercising, much to the consternation of his doctors. In this new body, as cliché as I might have been to say, he was feeling more human than ever.
