Mech

Mech, the Cybernetic Mind, (born Andrew Weber) is a cyborg that was formerly human born on Earth and is the main scientist with Physicus as his assistant.
== History ==
Mech, or Andrew, was born in the United Kingdom in the 1970s. Andrew, at a young age, was very much into history and while reading about it, learned more about corruption in science, politics, and conquest. Especially in the current superpowers of the world: China, Russia, and the United States. As he continued to grow, eventually he graduated with doctorates in Industrial Technology, Computer Science, Nuclear Science, Quantum Science and Physics, and a medical degree in Psychology, Neurology, Biology, and Radiology. Being hailed in his country as a genius and "the next Einstein." Mech decided to work for huge scientific orgs and even began to learn how to assist the UK in manufacturing of new weapons during peacetime. During the 1990s, Andrew made the decision to study abroad in the United States acquiring a business degree and starting his own business, finding great success in doing so due to his reputation overseas even reaching to the Americas. However, he remembered the history books he had read as a child, and decided to do what he thought was best. Outside, most believed Andrew's business was to simply help and assist in weapon trials for the US. In reality, the actual purpose of the business was to manufacture new weapons and distribute them to the criminal underworld. Mech hadn't believed this was a good idea until one day in a bar, he met a mob boss. This man referred to himself as the Bandit King, an expert thief known for his proficiency with a crowbar over 1.5 meters long. The man told Andrew that he knew how he felt of governmental corruption, and that he was interested in ending it too. Mech told him he didn't trust criminals any more than the government, he told him of the new candidate, James Costello. Mech scoffed and told him he was the fakest guy he'd ever seen. The man agreed, saying that in actuality, documents he received from his own insiders planted in the government showed that James conducted highly illegal and unethical acts during his time as a soldier as well as after that. He said he even received documents about a case he had been suspicious about. He talked about the infamous Lee Oxford, Andrew rolled his eyes and called him another example of corruption in the United States. The man corrected him, he was not corrupt at all, but a victim of the corruption. As Andrew found out what had actually happened to Lee, he decided to invite the man over to his house to continue talking. Andrew and the man continued at his house. He decided to give him an NDA, and begin distributing weapons to him after deciding his cause was honest. Eventually he would come across Physicus, and while initially scared, became intrigued, he continued to ask Physicus why he looked the way he did, that he couldn't be human. Physicus said the time for answering those questions would come later, but not before complimenting Mech's intellectual skills. Eventually, the two would continue to study together and Andrew would reveal a secret project of his. He had found a mechanized body that looked almost completely organic, even being able to replicate typical human processes and the senses. Andrew would eventually be assassinated by police in the bust, Physicus would save him by Andrew's instructions to preserve his brain and put it into the cybernetic body, and Andrew was reborn as Mech.
== Physical and Mental Analysis ==
Analysis was done on Mech by Physicus, here is what he's found:
* Mech has a genius-level intellect having over several degrees of study, and after being cyberized, has studied even more since then.
* Mech is capable of manufacturing a wide variety of technology, weapons, military vehicles, and even spacecrafts.
* Mech possesses what he calls a "Scanner" which somewhat resembles an IR Thermometer. It is actually an incredibly compressed supercomputer that can scan and log things within, being able to recreate certain objects that it can scan.
* Not only is Mech a skilled scientist, but after becoming cyberized, has actually become quite skilled in Alchemy.
* Mech and Physicus are inventors of the Power Shells, which weaken beings like Old Gods, Lovecraftians, and Primordials.
* Mech is very socially smart, being able to tell lies from a person's mannerisms, albeit not as good as Lee.
* Mech is a part of the Red Hearts gang as one of their two scientists, with him and Physicus swapping between main and assistant roles in their studies.
* He documented the history of other beings that would become New Gods during his studies with Physicus.
** The sum of these documents are called the True History Books and published them knowing they wouldn't be believed, to see how morally corrupt people were. He noted that people started hating him after higher-ups denounced the book.
* Although his cybernetic body does replicated most human processes, it cannot replicate kidney filtration, digestion, excretion, or hormonal secretion.
== Relationships ==
Physicus (Positive) - Physicus and Mech have studied under each other for decades. Both are geniuses with Mech even becoming the smartest man alive under the tutelage of Physicus. They worked together as part of the Red Hearts and are good friends.
Lee (Positive) - When Mech first heard about Lee's dishonorable discharge, he couldn't help but say "Of course." when Lee had supposedly been guilty of treason. However, when he met the Bandit King, he found out the truth about Lee's discharge and questioned where he was these days. After finding out Lee was the Silent Killer, he met Lee and told him he heavily disapproved of his actions, calling him a hypocrite and entitled. Eventually, the two got along and are good friends, but don't typically see eye-to-eye. Lee also trusts Mech enough to be in charge and unsupervised of his more key points in the Red Hearts, such as arms manufacturing.
Lazarus (Positive) - Mech and Lazarus both gained their second lives in the modern age when both were killed as a result of the corruption in the US. Lazarus in his life as a human was one of many business partners Mech had in his connections with the criminal underworld when he was part of another gang and after meeting him once he became immortal had established contact with him again.
James Costello (Despised) - Mech knew James was fake the moment he saw one of his speeches. He sees James as nothing but a hypocrite and a psychopath. He even says to him that he's every bad thing he's read about in the history books since he was young, calling him the epitome of what's wrong with the world.
