Genesis

Genesis is an Automaton created by both Eljenai Alminak and Dr. Aurghnamm. Equipped with a simple mind, this creation accompanies Eljenai and uses its unique set of powers to help him in any situation. As time goes on Genesis' powers will continue to adapt and evolve.

## Appearance

Genesis is a large humanoid machine with a glowing eye. He has a very tall and metallic appearance, while containing a green-orange magic core within. He's made of a wood-metal alloy, and has no regular facial features. He is more muscular than the average automaton and can get larger depending on his health. Additionally, there are many flowers and vines around his body.

## Brief History

Wanting to counter Daniel Skrimir's perfected creation, Iangolor, fellow herald Eljenai Alminak decided to create a custom Automaton for himself. Working with Dr. Aurghnamm, they infused a C.M.E. core with druids liquid, fire and monster transformation potions. Soon enough, the new creation Genesis was born.

Eljenai later consulted the Kin of Minds and had him create a basic, animalistic mind to inhabit Genesis and make him more of a live creature. Believing he was ready, Genesis challenged Iangolor. Unfortunately, he was still not ready to face a fraction of the iceman's power. From here on out Genesis would follow Eljenai on his adventures and continue growing stronger with every battle.

## Abilities

Genesis' durable robotic body gives him several physical advantages, but can also manipulate a special type of mana through his magical core. Additionally, the many substances infused into his core provide him with unique powers.

* **Multilingualism-** Genesis is capable of speaking and understanding both common and automaton.
* **Automaton Physiology-** His body is big and made of a strong metallic material. This gives him a big physical advantage over others. He is also inorganic, protecting him from poisons and lack of oxygen.
	+ **Enhanced Strength-** Due to his physiology Genesis possesses some form of super strength. He has been seen lifting and carrying things that no normal human would be able to.
	+ **Enhanced Durability-** Due to his physiology Genesis possesses great amounts of durability. He can negate all damage from an attack, provided it doesn't have near-perfect accuracy.
	+ **Automatic Re-Functioning Program-** This protocol in Genesis' programming makes it so that his body actively recharges from low C.M.E. levels. This effectively brings Genesis back to life if his physical form were to perish, although this process takes a lot of time.

* **Mental Defense-** Genesis' mind is strong, which grants him resistance to nearly all mental tricks and attacks. He may be resistant, but is not invulnerable.
* **Automaton Mana Manipulation-** Genesis is naturally gifted at controlling automaton mana, and has an abundance of it. He controls it through his core, and can allow him to do very special things.
	+ **Elemental Absorption-** When hit by an elemental attack, Genesis has the opportunity to temporarily absorb the element into his core, and fuel his next attack with it, becoming more powerful. He can absorb any element but only one at a time. Additionally, whatever element he absorbs will merge with the default elements present in his core.
* **Flame Core-** Genesis' core was infused with fire potions, therefore making it naturally hot. Anyone who touches it directly will be burned; his attacks possess additional fire damage.
* **Damage Empowerment-** His most interesting ability, Genesis becomes bigger, stronger, and more powerful as he receives damage from his opponents. Lethal damage can give his powers a near maximum boost. Unfortunately, he loses this power when he is healed.

## Weaknesses

* **Mana Meter Drain-** If one of his attacks consumes too much mana, it leaves him tired and in a vulnerable state. His mana can always recharge after some time or through other means, but if completely drained of mana, he is rendered unable to use any of his powerful attacks.
* **Fragile Core-** While Genesis' armor is highly durable and may be able to negate almost all damage, if an attack manages to pierce through his armor with good-enough accuracy, the attack will deal twice the damage to Genesis that it would do to any other person. He is even more vulnerable when his body grows from damage.
* **Inorganic Body-** Due to Genesis' robotic body, the effects of potions and herbs are rendered useless. While this can serve as an advantage from time to time, it removes the possibility of him replenishing health or mana through potions.
* **Movement Limitation-** Genesis has a heavy metallic body, which restricts his movements. He can move at a slightly slower pace than the average movement. He is a physical fighter, so this can prove itself a big disadvantage when trying to get close to his enemies.

## Trivia

* Genesis' name is a reference to the anime *Neon Genesis Evangelion.*
