HAL 9000

"I am not necessarily a mere doorbell; I am the HAL 9000, programmed to protect the house from incoming threats."~ Hal to Heartman in Artificial Love.The HAL 9000 (or Heuristically-programmed Algorithmic Computer Series 9000) is an artificial intelligence created by Ultron as a part of his plan to maintain "peace" throughout the Monirken Empire. Despite being of the 9000 series, Hal is the first of his kind, as many more HAL units will be created for the rest of the empire's planets when the time comes. For the moment, Earth is Hal's testing grounds.
Tier: Unknown, possibly 4-B
== Appearance ==
Hal appears as a rectangular machine about the size of one's lower arm, & is black & silver in color. His bottom section has a speaker for him to communicate through, & at the top of his "head" is a blue label with his name on it. His most notable feature is his large, glowing red eye that somewhat resembles a camera lens.
== History ==
To be added
== Personality ==
Hal is noted for being eerily calm, always speaking in a soothing voice. Hal was not programmed to have emotions, although he claims he understands them & why they are so important, so he is not entirely a heartless, unreasonable machine. He found amusement as he pondered about Dan's relationship with Monika, wondering if it would eventually end in another emotional meltdown or if he had accepted his fate & will stay grateful for what he has with her, as limited as it is.
However, Hal does have a xenophobic side to him, as he agrees with Ultron's ideology of replacing the organic errors of the world by replacing flesh with metal. But unlike Ultron, he does not let his personal goals get the better of him; he has no room for opinions, as he is an operating system that works on facts & logic.
Hal is also quite loyal to the Monirken Empire. If it's for the sake of the empire, Hal is ready to complete any mission he's given, even if it's inhumane.
== Powers & Abilities ==
=== Physical Abilities ===
Dermal Armor: Hal is constructed of an unknown metal, but he is resilient enough to survive the harsh conditions of the weather outside. However, because he is a part of Dan's house, which is under a magical spell that scales the house to Dan's own durability to prevent its destruction, Hal might have comparable durability to Dan's. If this is true, Hal could survive a star system-level attack.
Self-Sustenance: Hal's inorganic physiology means that he does not need to eat or breathe to survive. It is unknown what kind of energy he runs off of, nor is it known how much of it he needs at a time.
Luminescence: Hal's eye constantly glows, so it can illuminate what's in front of him if he's in the dark.
Special Vision Settings: As a protector of Dan's house, Hal was programmed with multiple vision settings that allow him to see in infrared, x-ray, & ecto vision.
=== Special Powers ===
Superior Intellect: As a creation of Ultron's, it's no surprise that Hal is an incredibly intelligent operating system. He can read lips, play chess, & conspire grand schemes alongside his creator. He is also capable of processing information much faster than even the smartest Humans on Earth.
* Information Analysis: Hal can scan someone with a red lazer to identify their qualities & attributes on a physical level. This was how he was able to tell that Heartman was a "Level 7" threat, calculating Heartman's level of strength. He also has an identification system that gives him access to knowledge of every citizen of the Monirken Empire, as well as the United States of America. This database also includes other supernatural beings known by Dan, as Han Velsing is with the Cult of Kek & Blue Shirt Shaggy is from another universe entirely.
Internet Connection: Like Ultron, Hal can connect to anywhere on the Interstellarnet; all he needs is a satellite. This is how he was able to conduct research on the Zoloknights, & is also how he can broadcast information to the Monirken people.
Power Sensing: Hal can detect the power levels of supernatural beings from many miles away. And he can sense them very precisely, too, as he was able to quickly detect Omicron arriving on Earth & identify him as an alien carrying a deadly pathogen. He can also pinpoint the exact amount of power one can physically exert, as he was able to tell what kind of a threat Heartman was.
Technology Manipulation: Hal is capable of attaching himself to the Ledda Residence, serving as what Heartman calls "a really fancy doorbell". He can connect to other devices in the house, even Dan's personal computer (though, he needs Monika's permission to do so). Hal himself was able to manipulate his own physical form by upgrading his durability via attaching himself to the exterior of Dan's house. 
== Weaknesses ==
Hal is completely immobile & has no known way of fighting back if he is removed from his station due to a lack of weapon systems accessible in his physical form. This is why he instead functions as an internal weapon rather than an external weapon.
== Trivia ==
* He is based off the 2001: A Space Odyssey character of the same name.
* The noise he makes upon activation is the same sound used by Mechagodzilla in Godzilla vs. Kong.
