Dr. Prometheus

Not to be confused with Dr. P

Dr. Varick Prometheus, better known as Dr. Prometheus, is the current Minister of Scientific Advancement of the Crandis Federation. Previously, he was the District Director of New Crunk City District 3 in New Crunk City. He is best known for creating Chunkbots, the drug Zynol-15, and the Chunk Algorithm.

## Origin

Born in what would become Valgrad, Prometheus was a born intellectual. By the age of 23, he had advanced the field of robotics on Earth significantly, and furthered research of mechanical and chemical human modification to levels thought to be science fiction.

By the age of 58, he had successfully modified himself to allow him to cease aging, making him one of the first modified humans. After this revelation, Prometheus left his home town and traveled to the up and coming New Crunk City. After his arrival, he was able to become a professor at New Crunk University. Realizing his potential, the board of directors at the university named him Dean of Sciences, a role that brought further attention from both District 0 officials and District 2 military advisors.

Due to the threat of the Pachutaka at the time, Dr. Prometheus was commissioned by the New Crunk City Military to create the first Chunkbots. This invention caused Prometheus to gain incredible fame among the scientific community of District 3, and at age 102 he would become the Director of District 3.

In the coming centuries, Dr. Prometheus would advance New Crunk City by developing more useful Chunkbots, as well as other robotic living improvements for the citizens. However, with his increasing age Prometheus began to hit a wall with his research. He no longer desired to create small, insignificant inventions, but instead he began to meddle with sciences that were outside of his normal fields of study. After furthering his knowledge on chemistry, Sacred Arts, and other Elements, Prometheus realized that his potential as an inventor was stunted due to his lack of resources.

Looking for inspiration, Dr. Prometheus would come to read the Book of DeMarcus, in which he read the stories of Xanderfeld and the Artificer. Inspired by the potential of infinite energy and machines like the World Engine, Prometheus became more erratic in his research. Often requesting odd items and human test subjects, the officials of District 0 officially exiled Dr. Prometheus for unjust scientific practices. Specifically, his creation of more violent and erratic Chunkbots and the creation of Zynol-15 caused enough backlash from the public to enact this exile.

3 years after his exile, Dr. Prometheus reappeared as the Minister of Scientific Advancement of the Crandis Federation. It is unknown how he received this position in such a short time, but the Professor is worried that his eccentric nature would be pandered to by the Crandis Federation allowing Dr. Prometheus to create new inventions without need for morality or law.

## Powers and Abilities

Dr. Prometheus is not an adept combatant, but he does have a modified body that he has tweaked over his life to allow him greater strength and somewhat increased durability. However, he has never entered combat in any known way, and as such he cannot be properly measured in combat skill.

Dr. Prometheus is thought to be the ultimate rival of the Professor in terms of intellect. While not anomalously intelligent, Prometheus has lived a long enough to read thousands of books and conduct hundreds of experiments. This experience has estimates put his intellect above that of the Professors in some feilds like robotics and chemistry.
