Hendrix Shays (Earth-30)

 What's the point of making AI robots modeled after humans if **humans are the problem**?! YOU CREATED CARBONS! **YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!!**
—**Hendrix Shays**[src]
The curious and perceptive **Hendrix Shays** is a man out of time. Born into the dark future of 2105, he worked as a "Carbon Dater" - a person who hunts rogue humanoid AIs known as "Carbons" - and was the best there was in the futuristic town of Cilvia City. However, while investigating the company behind Carbons, Dynamics Industries, Hendrix would accidentally time-traveled to the past, where he encountered the creator of Dynamics and Carbons, Connor Carter. After a failed attempt to reason with Connor, Hendrix would help his daughter flee his abuse and adopt her. The two would end up in Las Vegas, where Hendrix created his P.I. firm, Dawn FM.

With Dawn FM and the growing superhero community, Hendrix would assist on many adventures and fight many different villains alongside Hooligans. Villains such as Madame Hydra, Hobgoblin, and Cold. However, he never stopped investigating Dynamics, and this came to a head during the superhuman war against SHIELD, where he assisted in the dissolution of SHIELD and discovered that Dynamics was involved.

Recently, Hendrix would launch into a large-scale investigation against Dynamics and, subsequently, Monica Eden with the help of Dawn FM and Hooligans. This was prompted after Monica and Connor announced their partnership and released their prototypes - "Droids" - onto Vegas to help improve the quality of life. Unbeknownst to the rest, Hendrix was so serious about this because, in his future, Monica Eden's granddaughter is why Carbon Daters exist in 2105.

## Attributes

### Abilities

* **Highly Perceptive:** Hendrix Shays, in his future, ranked among the best Carbon Daters and Cudas to ever do it. With a sharp mind and a keen eyesight for the smaller details, Hendrix has been able to solve cases that some consider impossible or "cold cases". His perception led him to Ren who was hiding upstairs in her room, it led to the realization that his telling Connor Carter to not make Carbons is what brought him to the past, to begin with, and it even led to him being able to figure out the right series of events that needed to take place to reach his future so he could make a plan to stop it in the past. He isn't wildly intelligent like some of his peers (though he is surprisingly intelligent), he is simply really good at observing.

* **Marksmanship:** Trained by his mother and later self-taught, Hendrix is adept with a gun. However, he is especially handy with handguns as his primary weapon is a future evolution of the M1911. His accuracy is great enough for him to be able to hit shots in moving cars, in harsh conditions, and at different ranges that vary from case to case.

* **Capable Combatant:** While not the heavyweight title prize fighter in the world, Hendrix can do well in a fight. He has learned a little bit of everything such as Karate, Taekwondo, Bushido, Wrestling, and Muay Thai. However, where he excels and his most practiced combat style is boxing. He picked up on boxing from an old friend and Cuda mentor who trained him how to box professionally but now it is used to great effect to defeat attackers.

## Paraphernalia

### Equipment

* **Looper OS Cyberdeck MK. XXX:** A "cyberdeck" is a fancy word for a wireless hacker tool that is implanted into the brain. Using both brain activity and eyes, the individual can use a cyberdeck to manipulate the technological world around them and even invade the internet. Just depends on how good you are against cybersecurity.

* **Kiroshi Optics:** Due to his job as a PI, Hendrix has cybernetic implanted eyes that allow him to scan environments and people which are linked to the Net. For the environments, it gives Hendrix what material is in something or even what the item is by searching through the Net for information. For people, it gives Hendrix a detailed account of whether the person has a criminal record or if they are famous. However, if it is a normal person, it simply states their information based on government information on the person. Another interesting feature, it syncs up with his phone and acts as if it were his phone.

* **Ballistics Accurate Palm Sensor:** A gift from his late mother, Hendrix has an implant in his right hand that allows him to ricochet bullets from his gun. How it works is that it connects to his OS and tells him how many bullets he has in a clip, the probability of ricocheting a shot from where he is aiming, and it highlights the enemy that will be hit by the ricocheted bullet.

* **Oasis Leg Boosters:** A new addition to Hendrix's cyberware investment, the Leg Boosters have become necessary. These allow Hendrix to jump higher once and then jump once more to reach higher places. A secondary function is that he can charge his jumps to leap whole buildings in a single bound, allowing him to chase other individuals with cybernetics that are more advanced than his own as well as track vehicles or aircraft.

### Weapons

* **Dynamics Knuckles:** At times, being a Cuda requires one to get physical. Therefore, Hendrix got an implant that allowed his knuckles to become metallic to deal damage without having to physically use anything. This allows Hendrix to break wood with a punch, dent steel, and break concrete. It's useful not only for combat but everyday things such as breaking and entering.

## Notes

* Hendrix Shays (Earth-30), and by extension, Donuts exist outside of mainstream Marvel Universe continuity. Themselves, their stories, and other characters are unrelated and not connected to the Marvel Multiverse and exist within solely within The Donuts Multiverse.

## Trivia

* Hendrix is a literal child at heart which leads to his lowkey obsession with cartoons. Historically, at any given time during the day (when not working a case), Hendrix is most likely watching cartoons either by himself or with Ren.
* Everything from Trip-Hop to Elvis Presley, Hendrix has an extremely diverse listening palette. This extends to his love of Mona Lisa Overdrive and how he has heard every set, including the late night ones in order to support Ren's interests.
* A carryover from his stressful life in 2105, Hendrix is an avid nicotine smoker. In his time period, conventional cigarettes were replaced with synthetic ones after the TEA (Tobacco Elimination Act). Now, in the current time, Hendrix just vapes as he states, "it's the same thing as it is in the future".
