Alvis Spengo

Alvis is, to all appearances, an ordinary human male college student whose attempts at studying are frequently derailed by other more important (to him) things. In reality, he hails from a distant alternate future and travels between worlds, seeking interesting experiences.

Background

In a distant alternate future, quite different to the world of Futura, there existed a coalition of prominent alien races races and other major factions: when a sentient race achieved FTL travel, and thus began its migration and assimilation into the greater intergalactic community, it was a requirement that their genetic code at the time of first contact would be recorded in its entirety and stored securely. This was done to assure that if an entire species was somehow wiped out or corrupted, they would have a means of restoring that species and allowing it to re-emerge, thus giving it another chance to flourish.

A native inhabitant of a space colony in this unusual sub-dimension of time and space, Alvis was accidentally created via this method of genetic backup and restoration. Now the only pure-blooded human in that reality, where the others had long since integrated into other species' bloodlines, Alvis is ostensibly a college student studying math, physics and engineering. Despite showing signs of strong potential in these fields, he struggles to maintain an interest in his studies and is often led astray by a seemingly inexhaustible drive toward fun and hedonism. Biologically he is an ordinary human, created via genetic engineering in a universe where humans have not existed in their original form in at least ten thousand years, having long since migrated across multiple galaxies and bred with countless intelligent alien races.

SKILLS

Combat-Hand to Hand - Competent Level

Computer Hacking - Competent Level

Driving - Competent Level

Lock Picking - Novice Level

Robotics - Competent Level

Alvis grew up around robotic technology of every imaginable shape and form, and developed a strong competence for robotics engineering through a mix of self-teaching and formal instruction. He has hands-on experience with both civilian and military spec robotics.

Software Engineering - Competent Level

Alvis is an accomplished freelance programmer with a good knack for picking up and learning new technology, and has demonstrated a professional-level ability to architect and implement complex software engineering problems.

ABILITIES

Power: Analytical Mind - Basic+ Level

In the rare moments when he can avoid distractions, Alvis has demonstrated an exceptional ability to tackle complex technical problems, bolstered by a strong competence in math and reasoning.

Power: Astral Block - Supreme Level

For reasons unknown to him, Alvis was genetically engineered to be immune to all forms of mental control. Any attempt to control his mind, hypnotize him, implant a subliminal command, mesmerize him, drive him to act against his own free will, or read/alter his thoughts, will fail outright. This also includes benign forms of psychic contact such as telepathic communication. If a being can only communicate by speaking directly to a person's mind, they will need to seek alternate means of communicating with him.

Traveling

The powers that be in Alvis' native reality were curious to learn more about worlds where humans were more common, so they gave him access to their subspace-based interdimensional traveling network, which allows him to move or be moved between worlds. As such, he is bound by three rules. He must not abuse it for personal gain or to harm others. He must not attempt to destabilize any established timeline or dimension. Finally, he must not engage in improper interactions of technology levels.

WEAKNESSES

Astral Block

For reasons unknown to him, Alvis was genetically engineered to be incompatible with all forms of mental contact, such as telepathy or mind control. While this has some benefits, such as making him immune to mental compulsion or having his thoughts read, it also makes him unable to engage in benign forms of psychic contact, such as telepathic communication. If a being can only communicate by speaking directly to a person's mind, they will need to seek alternate means of communicating with him.

Sheltered

Alvis' upbringing was entirely insulated from the dangers and horrors found in less stable worlds. He is not well-prepared to thrive in a hostile environment beyond basic survival.
