The Technician

== Early Life ==
===Gifted===
Anthony Ramirez was born in 1906 into a rich family who lived in the suburbs of the U.S. capital, Washington DC. He lived a privileged lifestyle, he always had access to what he wanted and he always went to the best schools. Ever since Anthony was in first grade he was considered incredibly gifted. He was always in the top of his classes and he did so with little to no effort on his part. School was extremely easy and never offered him anything in the way of a mental challenge. When Anthony was 13 he found a large unused part of the basement on his parents' massive property. In the secluded area of the basement Anthony set up a make-shift laboratory. Anthony built many advanced pieces of machinery; he built miniature helicopters as well as complicated steam-powered generators. He maintained his laboratory entirely in secret from his parents, and he used the money they gave him entirely in funding his "projects". Anthony continued to go to school, and continued to increase the magnitude of his experiments for the next few years.
===Meltdown===
In 1921, when he was 15 years old, Anthony read an article in a science journal about the particles and properties that made up the atom. This had Anthony extremely interested and he began running his own research in the properties of the atom. In 1922 Anthony had even built his own prototype of an electron microscope, 9 years before German scientists would even create a prototype. Anthony was happy with the way his life was going, he had found a balance between his public life and the secret life he ran in his parent's basement, but the balance would soon be shattered. 1922 when Anthony was still in High School he began working on experiments involving radiation and nuclear fission. Anthony's set-up was extremely elaborate and he used materials he had secretly purchased off the black market. He secretly rerouted power from nearby houses into the basement in order to power the particle accelerator he had set up. The system required more ready electricity than the circuit system he set up could readily supply so he set up a make-shift transformer and battery that would build up electricity over time. On February 6th, 1922 while Anthony was at school, he left the system running in order to let it build up sufficient energy. Anthony had just gotten off the bus and was walking up the pathway leading to his house when a massive explosion erupted from the building. A massive plume of flame and dust shot up and through the center of the house destroying the central foundations for the building and causing it to collapse in on itself. Anthony immediately realized the explosion must have been related to his laboratory, and he was right. The amount of material Anthony had planned on using in his experiment was far to high and, luckily for him, the circuit system he had set-up malfunctioned and caused the particle accelerator to activate early. If Anthony's experiment had gone as he planned he would have been present for the particle accelerator's activation and thus would have been killed in the ensuing explosion.
===Fostering Greatness===
Anothony's father was not present at the time of the explosion, but Anthony's mother was. She was in the kitchen when the explosion occurred and a flying piece of shrapnel was sent through her right lung. She died 7 hours later while Anthony and his father were at the hospital with her. The people who investigated the explosion concluded that it had occurred because of a gas buildup, but a few weeks later, while Anthony and his father were staying at their house north of Washington D.C. in New York, he told his father of what he had done. Anthony's father didn't take it well, he screamed at him for over an hour before telling Anthony that he was an embarrassment and that he was going to disown him. Anthony wasn't going to allow his father to ruin his life, and the two days later, while his father was still arranging Anthony's disownership, he attacked his father with a gun that he had bought in downtown New York. Anthony didn't hesitate, the first bullet he shot entered his father's mouth and blew his jaw to pieces. While his father was laying on the ground bleeding out from the first gunshot, Anthony stood over him and fired another shot into his head. Anthony then screamed for help, and the butler came running into the room. Anthony was waiting for the butler at the side of the doorway and immediately shot the butler in the right temple. Anthony had already planned things out, he planted the butler's fingerprints all over the gun, and arranged the room to appear as if the butler shot his father and then committed suicide by shooting himself in the temple.
Police forensics were not particularly advanced at the time, so they came to the conclusion that Anthony wanted them to come to. Anthony was his father's heir so all of his assets were then transferred to him. A few weeks later, Anthony went to a judge and applied for emancipation which, because of his intelligence, he quickly earned. Anthony then sold all of his father's property and transferred his funds to off-shore accounts. In 1922, at the age of 16, Anthony graduated from High School early and easily got accepted into New York University. Though he was a student at New York University, Anthony only went there for its informational resources. Since Anthony had sold all of his father's property, he needed a place to live, and rather than living on-campus at NYU he opted to set-up his own home and laboratory at a warehouse he purchased in New York.
== Getting Technical ==
===Bad Deal===
After Anthony had gotten his laboratory set-up at the warehouse, he began running his personal research again. The only problem was that there were certain elusive pieces of material he would have to obtain, and at times this required Anthony to purchase things from unsavory characters. [When Anthony began doing business with criminals.] Oftentimes he would find what he was looking for on the black market, but some pieces even eluded him there. In 1923 when Anthony was 17, he needed to go to the Mafia to gain access to a particular item. He offered them money, but all they told him was that his money was meaningless to them and that he should take his business elsewhere. Anthony then told them that he was a genius and that he would be able to outfit the entire New York mafia sector with special device to make them invisible. It took some convincing, but Anthony eventually got them to agree on the terms that he had the device ready within 6 months. 6 months passed by and Anthony had no idea how to create (let alone mass produce) a device capable of making a person invisible. The mob wasn't happy when Anthony couldn't hold up his end of their deal, and soon enough they came for him.
===Holy King===
In 1923 Anthony's use of Mob assets caught up to him. He believed he would be safe if he started hiding out in a secondary garage he had purchased for a situation just like this. After almost a month had passed Anthony had began to run low on food, and he figured that it had been long enough that he could go outside at least for a short period of time. After getting his food from the store he cut through an alleyway to get back his garage faster, but his short time in public had been enough for the mob to track him down. A group of three mobsters jumped Anthony as he was exiting the alleyway and began dragging him back. Suddenly, a massive man stepped around the corner and grabbed the collar of one of the mobsters. The huge man told the group of mobsters to scram but they simply laughed at his audacity. One of the mobster flipped out a knife and slid it between the massive man's ribs. The man appeared to be unphased by this and the mobsters began to panic pulling out pistols and opening fire. Though the rounds mildly wounded the man the damage healed so fast he didn't seem to care. Quickly pummeling the mobsters and sending them running the man picked Anthony up off the ground and back to his feet. Anthony thanked the man and after looking at his massive figure he realized something. The man had a very distinct silhouette and Anthony instantly remembered a painting he had seen while browsing books on medieval legend. He was an exact match to a painting of someone known as the "Holy King of War", the book spoke of him as an unstoppable and unmatched immortal warrior. After asking about the legend the man was amazed that Anthony actually recognized him as he had stopped being the Holy King long long ago. Anthony found the prospect of a warrior such as this extremely interesting, and found the prospect of an "immortal" warrior even more interesting. Anthony made the man a business offer and soon enough had the power of the Holy King at his side.
===Business as Unusual===
Anthony soon learned that the "Holy King"'s name was Rafael Evaline and began to take him into employment. Though Rafael was obviously suspicious of him Anthony was able to instantly get on his good side through payment. Rafael became a high-class henchman fr Anthony as he was capable of getting just about any job done. Anthony would have Rafael run missions to steal things or simply to "borrow" some more funds so he could continue his research. He paid Rafael handsomely and he soon became a loyal partner in crime. Inevitably the public gained knowledge of Rafael's escapades for Anthony, Anthony had designed Rafael an advanced suit of armor in the stylings of a Medieval knight and the media coined him "Medieval Man" during stories about his actions of crime. The name stuck, and Medival Man became an infamously known supervillain throughout New York. The suit of armor was designed to help facilitate Medival Man's extreme strength, but, unbeknownst to Medieval Man, Anthony had also made the suit into an extremely advanced diagnostic tool that monitored all of Medieval Man's bodily functions while he was on assignements. Anthony hoped that through the data he gained fromt he suit, he would be able to unlock the secrets to Medival Man's abilities. Though Medieval Man was well known, Anthony kept him out of the public eye as much as possible as he didn't want to draw too much attention from the government.
For a time, things were going completely smoothly for the partnership as nobody could do anything to stop Medieval Man from accomplishing his assignements, but soon that was about to change. In 2133 after Anthony had sent Medieval Man out on an assasination mission, he returned in an extremely battered state, Medieval Man was exausted and his suit was beaten completely out of shape. After angrily confronting Medieval Man about the damage to the suit Medieval Man explained that there were others out there that were like him. Medieval Man had encountered a trio of heroes with strength and regenerative abilities similar to his own, and though Medieval Man was stronger than them individually, their combined might and skill was enough to overcome him. Had Medieval Man not made a quick escape during the battle he would have surely been captured. This trio (who went by the name's Tectonic Wave, Storm Flare, and Steel Talon) soon became the world's first superheroes, and began causing extreme problems for Medieval Man on his assignments. Though he was still able to complete some of his objectives, when Medieval Man encountered the Justice Trio he was never to come out on top. Whenever he engaged with combat with the trio it would always end in a chase with him attempting to escape without being captured. Even though this caused massive problems for Anthony, he was about to get a major pay-off from the data he had gained from the suit he had fashioned for Medieval Man.
===Immortality===
In 1939 Anthony's use of data gained from the diagnostic suit worn by Medieval Man had allowed him to completely map out all of Medeival Man's bodily systems. He had long ago figured out that Medieval Man was something other than human, but could not come up with a theory as to what his true origin might be, and he refused to believe that Medieval Man was truly some sort of "magical king". Though Anthony found Medieval Man's tremendous capacity for strength interesting, he had come to the conclusion that there was no way he could facilitate a human body to be capable of such feats of strength. Anthony was much more interested in somehow allowing for a human body to gain the near-immortality. After years of studying Medieval Man's body, Anthony had discovered the method that Medieval Man's cells indefinitely renewed themeselves. This allowed Anthony to map out a "genetic splice" that would begin telling the human body's cells to mimic this indefinite renewal. Though this would nearly eliminate aging entirely it would not grant a human the regenerative powers that Medieval Man possessed as that actually required a completely different cellular structure from human cells. In early 1940, Anthony performed a scientific miracle when he distilled a genetic splice that would enable a complete recoding of a specific aspect of the genetic code. The splice had to be configured to a specific persons genetic code so , naturally, Anthony chose himself. After numerous tests, Anthony injected himself withn the splice. Collapsing onto the ground Anthony would remain unconcious for over a day until Medieval Man came to his lab and found him. When he awoke, Anthony felt like a new man, but he didn't tell Medieval Man of what he had accomplished as he preffered to keep a discovery like this as tightly locked as possible.
===New Partners===
Unknown to both Anthony and his partner Medieval Man, they had for a long period time been watched. A clandestine orginization known as the Society of Adaptation had been watching Medieval Man ever since they matched him to the legends of the "Holy King" when he was discovered by them in the early 1800s. When Medieval Man teamed up with Anthony the Society of Adaptation began watching his movements as well. When they discovered that Anthony had somehow unlocked Medieval Man's key to immortality, they knew that he had to be inducted into their ranks. On Febuary 13th 1941, during the night, operatives subdued and kidnapped Anthony while he slept. He later awoke in a secret remote facility surrounded by other scientists. He learned that he had been recruited by a secret orginization dedicated to making sure humanity has properly adapted to face what is to come in the future.
== The Society ==
===The Future===
Anthony soon learned that he had been inducted into the Society of Adaptation because of his discovery in unlocking Medieval Man's near-immortality. He met with many scientists and was ordered that he was required to duplicate the process so it could be used on others. Anthony was resistant from complying with his kidnappers at first, but he soon learned that he didn't have much of a choice in the matter. Once someone had been inducted into the Society of Adaptation, all of their records were destroyed and all ties to their previous life were eliminated, so even if Anthony managed to escape he would be returning to a world with no knowledge of his existence and he would have no money.
So, as he saw things, Anthony figured he might as well make the most of his new situation for the time being. Anthony began working with other scientists in the Society of Adaptation in order to replicate the process he had used on himself. Though the scientists he worked with were great in their fields, Anthony felt that they weren't quite at the level of intellect he was at. Though Anthony played along with them, he had no intention of granting anybody else the gift of immortality, and frequently fed them false data and reports that indicated failed attempts at recreating the Genetic Splice.
===Watchman===
Soon Anthony learned of a servant belonging to one of the Society's leaders. Known simply by Patriot, he had been away from HQ for some time because of business he was taking care of for his master. He learned that Patriot was the watchdog of The General the secretive leader of the Society of Chaos, another wing of the organization he had been inducted in. Anthony was amazed to learn that Patriot was a psychic being of considerable power, and that as long as he was present, Patriot somehow used his psionic powers to watch over the entirety of the facility that Anthony resided in at all times.
This posed a significant problem to Anthony, as he was constantly undermining the Society's authority by falsifying his immortality data reports. Anthony needed to find some way to bypass this psychic security if he was to proceed his work in the manner in which he wanted. Anthony needed to learn more about Patriot's psionic capabilities and he could think of no better way than to meet him face-to-face.
===Will===
From Anthony had gathered from other scientists, Patriot's psychic abilities allowed him to probe any person's mind with ease and see what they were thinking and what their intentions were. Anthony spent months preparing himself for what he was going to do. Training his mind to think in a manner where rogue thoughts never entered the active part of his brain. Over time he conditioned himself to only display the parts of his mind that he allowed himself to. He was literally able to easily change his beliefs, hopes, and dreams at the drop of a hat as long as he maintained his inner-focus. His true self would only return when his focus was broken, or when he decided to let it be. This level of mental control took a startling amount of willpower to attain, which was helped along by his superior intelligence.
===Resist===
It was time for for Anthony to meet Patriot. Normally, he would casually avoid The Generals Hand as he went about his business, but this time Anthony purposefully intersected paths with Patriot in a busy laboratory. This was merely a scouting mission, to see what he was up against. What Anthony discovered was unnerving. If it wasn't for his iron-focus, Anthony wouldn't have noticed it, but as he passed by Patriot he could feel the fingers of Patriot's mind as it felt it's way through his thoughts. Scratching the rock-hard surface of Anthony's mind as if it was testing the waters. As he moved away from Patriot he felt the psychic's touch linger and fade away. Patriot was constantly scanning the minds of those around him. This small taste of Patriot's power had taught Anthony a good deal, but he needed to dive deeper.
About a week after his previous encounter, Anthony again intersected the Patriot, but this time in a deserted hallway on a far-side of the facility. As he approached Patriot, Anthony again felt his psychic touch upon his mind. He could have simply passed by Patriot without incident, but Anthony's inner-mind was determined, and he purposefully bumped into the Patriot. Patriot turned to look at Anthony. Despite knowing that Patriot was blind, Anthony looked back into Patriot's blank eyes. The light scratch of the Patriot's psionic fingers evolved into a drill, digging at his thoughts as if looking for some hidden treasure. It was a near-traumatic experience for Anthony, but his iron-will held as the Patriot drilled, hammered, and smashed at the surface of his mind. Just when he he thought his mental barrier begin to crack Patriot's attacks ceased. Despite maintaining his inner-focus, Anthony began to break into a cold sweat. Patriot turned away from Anthony and proceeded to walk away, but left him with one word in his mind "SURPRISING"
===Measures===
Anthony had learned all he needed to from his meeting with Patriot. The encounter had been more than 10 seconds long, but Anthony had learned a years worth of information from it. He now knew exactly the manner in which Patriot's psionic powers worked. Through testing he was able to confirm that Patriot was accessing some sort of sub-dimensional wavelength that moved in an out of the conscious thought. By retrieving and sending these waves, Patriot could perform all manner of telepathic and psionic acts upon other humans. With his willpower, Anthony was able to completely mask his sub-conscious thoughts from the paths of these wavelengths.
Anthony was able to then figure that Patriot must use a different sub-dimensional wavelength to get readings from the physical world, which he was able to use to "see" the entire Society facility at all times. When the Patriot was away from the facility for a small amount of time, he created a device that simulated these wavelengths. With this new tool he could make the Patriot "see" whatever he wanted him to. Anthony proceeded to use the device to mask all of his secretive actions.
===The Technician===
After his continued "failures" at recreating the immortality splice, Anthony began working on other projects for the Society of Adaptation. He was still required to continue his work on immortality, but he began putting much more time into other projects. He had no idea where the funding for his work was coming from, but Anthony didn't care as he was able to further projects that he was unable to work on with the assets he had access to in his previous situation. His colleagues slowly began to age and die around him, and Anthony continued to live and work for the Society of Adaptation to and unknown end. Over decades Anthony made many useful discoveries that allowed his benefactors to enhance humans to levels never before believed to have been possible. In 2067 Anthony's usefulness was believed to be the greatest of all those within the Society of Adaptation and he finally recieved a visit from the person who was running the show.
One day while Anthony was eating lunch in his quarters, a young girl, no older than 28, came into the room. Anthony thought it was just a new scientist that had been inducted so a paid little mind to her. While he cotinued to eat his lunch she walked around his quarters examining his belongings. When Anthony had gotten tired of her touching his things he asked her who she was and why she was in his room. She told him that she went only by "The Technician", and that her reasons for visiting were her own. From then on she displayed great interest in his projects and visited him often. She was of an intellectual calibur on par with his and would often point out mistakes he made in his calculations. He could tell that she knew he was forging the documents that stated failures in the immortality project, but he couldn't figure out why she didn't confront him on it. Anthony figured that she must be an important person within the Society of Adaptation and knew much more than she let on, and he planned to get closer to her in order to figure out what was truly going on.
===The Science of Love===
Over time Anthony and the Technician grew very close. He was her favored scientist and spent a lot of personal time with him even though the other researchers found it very strange. In time Anthony was able to get information on what had happened in the outside world while he was locked within the SoA's facility. In 2073 Anthony confronted the Technician about the nature of the mysterious organization he in forced employment to. He knew there was more to the SoA than the small part he was seeing and he knew that she played an important part in it. Surprisingly, the Technician trusted Anthony enough to tell him about the nature of The Society. He learned that the Society of Adaptation was only a quarter of an even larger orginization known simply as The Society. He also learned that Technician was one of the four leaders that each led a quarter of the Society, each dedicated to a different aspect of their goal.
Though Anthony wanted to know more, she wouldn't tell him what their true goal was and that she was already breaking almost every rule by telling him this information. Despite what else she told him, he could never ever get her to tell him her real name, as it would sacrifice everything she had put herself through for The Society. Once Anthony knew that The Technician was a way he could get to the people who truly led The Society he knew that he had to gain her power.
===Hi-Tech===
In 2084 Anthony and the Technician spent almost all of their free time together. While Anthony was quite fond of her she was practically in love with him. The Technician obessed over Anthony and he knew he had her in the palm of his hand. While Anthony was still using her, he slowly began to fall for her himself. She was the only person he had ever met that he could speak to without dumbing down his words. The Technician was always able to match Anthony's intelligence play for play and he began to cherish this. He soon learned from her that the other leaders were becoming wary of all the time she was spending with him, but she didn't care what they thought. They even began working on a secret project together, they were desiging a high-tech stealth ship that would house all of the research facilities needed for experiments. The ship was symbol that if they ever wished to they could escape and live together away from the control of the Society, but Anthony had no plans on doing such a thing. It was in this that Anthony's inner-focus would once-again serve him well.
In 2085 Anthony finally got the Technician to divulge information on how she became the Technician. He learned that whenever the current Technician died the new Technician was chosen from a specific set of parameters that only the leaders knew about. Anthony even managed to learn what these parameters were; the parameters were a way of life that a person had to be following perfectly in order to be deemed fit for the position. The people who were being looked at to be chosen never knew what these parameters were or the fact that were even being tested. After he learned of the parameters, Anthony began religously following them perfectly, but in a manner that didn't give away the fact that he knew of their existence. In 2089 Anthony had completely fallen for the Technician and had nearly forgotten his true goals, but he then learned that the entire facility was going to be moved to the LGA system because the war going on would soon risk compromising them.
Though it pained Anthony, his will would not break and he knew this was the perfect opportunity to enact his plan. He told the Technician that he wanted to run away with her, that he couldn't live another day under the watchful eye of the Society. That he wanted to be with her as their true selves. They had been keeping the ship they were designing in a special part of the facility that the Technician said couldn't be watched by the rest of The Society. When they got to the ship Anthony began the start up sequence, but he had actually sabotaged the ship the night before. He told her that he had to go get something from his quarters before they left, but, just as Anthony planned, just as he was exiting the ship a massive explosion erupted from a control console in the cockpit. Anthony ran back into the ship to find the Technician nearly blown in half. She was still alive, but barely, gasping for every breath. his inner-focus shattered like glass, and Anthony began to cry real tears for the first time in his life. And just before she died he finally learned her name; Karla.
===Place In the World===
A day after Karla's death, special operatives that Anthony had never seen before took him from his quarters to another remote facility. At the facility he was questioned in regards to the death of "The Technician". Anthony stated that he simply heard the explosion and when he got there he was surprised to find the spacecraft and the mortally wounded Technician. They put him through lie detector tests which he easily passed as he had learned to control his heart rate and breathing patterns for circumstances such as this. He had prepared for every investigative measure that could possibly be taken against him, and after over a month of being locked away he was returned to the SoA science facility. Anthony remained here for another 3 years until 2087 when he was once again taken by operatives to a remote facility. It was here that many physical and psychological tests were taken of him. Anthony knew that this series of tests was to find out if he was fit to become the new Technician. 
After a process that took place over about 5 days, Anthony was finally released into the presence of none other than Patriot. Patriot was the eyes, hands, ears, legs, and voice of The General, and would speak on his behalf at Anthony's induction. Hardening his iron-will to a level he had never attained before, Anthony prepared himself for the psionic onslaught. Patriot did not disappoint, as the looming servant of the The General dove claws-first into Anthony's mind in search of anything that would incriminate him. Though they stood facing each other silently, an invisible siege was being laid upon the landscape of Anthony's thoughts. But, Anthony's will was stronger than it had ever been, and like a shield of unbreakable steel, Anthony protected the thoughts of his true self from the Patriot's digging, only displaying the thoughts he allowed the Patriot to see. The battle was waged for over an hour, and had his mind been weaker, Anthony might have lapsed into a coma from the strain Patriot had placed upon his mind. But Anthony's facade had been maintained, and Patriot was unable to see even the barest hint of what was hiding within the depths of his mind.
The Patriot made a final waving motion as if covering Anthony in an invisible sheath, and once again, Patriot sent a single thought into Anthony's mind; "TECHNICIAN".
== Technician ==
===Technical Difficulties===
The new Technician was better at his job than any other person who had held his position in the past. He kept the The Society in the cutting edge of genetic warfare, allowing the Society of Chaos (the military branch of The Society) to keep up with the rising advent of Superhumans within faction militaries. The Technician had access to virtually unlimited access to resouces of all types. This included information resources and test subjects. In the 2140s the Technician became obsessed with the Rohaz and Superhumans. The Rohaz were the pinnacle of what humanity could hope to accomplish in terms of technology and evolution. The Technician soon discovered the relation between the special gene owned by the Superhumans and the Rohaz technology he had studied. This became the Technician's main field of study, and though he often got grief from the General because he did not put forth enough resources into imporoving military technology, the Technician didn't care. The Technician had also taken to having civilians kidnapped in order for him to conduct his experiments, though this was not a strange practice for the Society of Adaptation, the number of civilians the the Technician had had kidnapped was quite large. The General had also taken notice of this, and began warning the Technician about what could occur if the missing civilians got traced back to the Society, but the Technician continued to show little care for what the General said.
===Shocking===
After a large amount of pushing from the General in 2167 the Technician finally began work on a new project that would be useful to the Society of Chaos. He was to create a new brand of super-soldier that was a perfect amalgamation between man and machine. If successful, the Technician would create superhuman soldiers capable of accessing any communication network telepathically, capable of melding with any working piece of machinery to enhance its abilities, and capable of being easily upgraded due to the non-linear nature in which he would design them. Unfortunately, all of the subjects that underwent the Technician's super-soldier process were left in an extremely damaged state, with very few remaining cognitive functions. To make matters worse, the investigative branch of Demith's Omega Force had caught wind of the dissapearing civilians he had been taking for test subjects. In 2168, a team of Omega operatives tracked down the remote testing facility the Technician had made the Society of Adaptation's base of operations on planet Ion. The Omega team had discovered the base just as the Technician was completing what he believed would be the first successful subject. After the superhuman Omega operatives had made it passed the guards, the Technician released the failed test subjects upon them. In the midst of the battle outside of the Technician's laboratory, a normal human detective managed to slip passed the battle into the lab. Held at gunpoint by the detective, the Technician activated the successful specimen, codenamed "Shocking Jack". After a brief struggle, the detective managed to incapacitate Shocking Jack through a mixture of skill and luck (but mainly luck). An angered Technician managed to destract the detective long enough to get himself and Shocking Jack to an escape pod and launch away from the facility.
===Together At Last===
As he launched away from the facility, the Technician recieved a transmission from the General. The Technician already knew what the General had to say, and after 227 years, he believed that his time with the Society had reached his limit. The Technician would no longer be held under the constraints of The Society, or any sort of orginization for that matter. The Technician set the escape pods to travel to a set of coordinates in a remote corner of LGA space. Arriving at the coordinates weeks later, the Technician came across the "Karla". The stealth-ship/laboratory that he and the previous Technician had designed together. The Technician had hidden the ship in remote LGA space shortly after he had become the Technician.
== Current Life ==
Following the events that led to the Technician's escape on the stealth ship Karla, he repaired the damage sustained by Shocking Jack and set up shop within the ship. In current times the Technician is continuing his study of the Rohaz and how their technology can be used by humans, and the nature of super powered beings in general. He is still on the run from the Society and must occasionally contend with their agents. Since escaping from the Society he has trained to a high level of physical fitness and has also trained in the use of high powered weaponry. In order to fund his research, the Technician ( in partnership with Shocking Jack ) takes on Mercenary contracts.
== Personality ==
The Technician is a very single-minded and selfish person. He has little of a care for anything as long as noone gets in the way of his current goal (whatever that may be). Despite his nature, the Technician is not completely devoid of emotion and is still capable of feeling happiness and is also capable of suffering from sadness and anger. Normally the Technician is very calculative and future-looking, making sure that his ideas go as planned, but things become disrupted when his judgement gets clouded by momentary anger or frustration. The Technician often curses himself for these momentary lapses in judgement, but ever since his murder of Karla (the Technician before him) his emotional state has become slightly unstable and this occasionally gets in the way of his calculative nature.
== Powers & Abilities ==
===Genius Intellect===
What the Technician lacks in Superhuman capabilities, he more than makes up for in smarts. The Technician is easily within the top 10 smartest humans currently alive (on par with people such as Schpein and Roy), and is skilled in almost every discipline of science and engineering. Whatever the Technician wants to learn, he is capable of grasping, and he can quickly understand complicated concepts with little to no study. The Technician knows every language known by humankind and can decipher codes and encryptions with a snap of his finger (as long as the encryption or code is comparable in some way to something he has seen before). The Technician is also a futurist, and is capable of making extremely accurate predictions through mental calculations. Though the Technician's abilities in prediction are quite effective, he rarely makes use of them because he does not take value in assumptions.
Though the Technician is a genius, he lacks many of the mental adaptions made by the Mentis, and as such he cannot understand completely new languages without something to go off of. The Technician's massive intellect also supplies him with significant mental willpower, allowing him to resist psychic attacks at a level most humans would consider impossible.
===Near-Immortality===
By taking what he learned from studying Medieval Man, the Technician was able to make an injection that completely altered an aspect of his genetics causing his body to indefinitely generate new healthy cells. This has made the Technician effectively immortal as his aging has slowed to a point where he would show little to no signs of aging even after hundreds of years. Though he does not age, the Technician will not live forever as his body will slowly start to become completely cancerous and will lose its ability to sustain its cells (but this will take millions of years to take place) .
Other benefits the Technician has gained from his altered genetics is a slightly increased healing rate, wounds that would take a normal human a week to heal from he can heal from overnight. Also, the Technician's body never scars from any injury, and is capable of recovering from things normal humans would never recover from. This means that things such as severed limbs, completely damaged or removed organs, etc. will eventually regrow themeselves as long as they are given enough time and the Technician survives the injury. Despite all of this, the Technician is still vulnerable in all the ways that most humans are. Injuries that would be typically fatal (massive blood loss, damage to heart, brain or lungs, etc.) are still fatal to the Technician. He is also susceptible to diseases just as humans are, though his immune system is a bit more effective than the average human's allowing him to recover from sickness at a quicker rate.
===Technician's Visor===
An advanced piece of Rohaz-Mentis technology that the Technician connected to his brain through his right temple. The technology allows the Technician to actively change the composition of his eyes to see in ways incapable by humans. He can see miles away as if he was looking through a telescope and can zoom in to see things on a microscopic level. The Technician is also capable of altering his eyes in such a way that he can see on almost any level of the light spectrum. The actual visor part of the headpiece is capable of diplaying crucial information on anything he is looking at as well as uplinking with almost any computer system within its 5 mile range. By using his own brain as the central processor for the visor, the Technician has turned himself into one of the most effective computers known to humankind.
