### Occupation

He currently works as a level 4 researcher for Madison Technology & Science Research Corporation, working in their teleportation and portal research division. He works directly with he portal itself, often testing it out and logging the results with his fellow scientists, engineers and security officers. He has level V security clearance. His work ranges from safe to life threatening, but, being the person he is, he just puts up with it.

### Relationships

#### Friends

* Cogwheel. - He is friends with the robotic dragon, especially since both share similar topics. He looks up to Cogwheel, mainly because Cog is much older than him and has more experience. The two sometimes hang out.

## Biography

### Early Years

Gerald was born on July 5th, 2771 in the (fictional) city of Arlington in New Hampshire. His family were of German heritage, and as a result, he grew up speaking German fluidly. His family was on the upper ends of the spectrum, with his father making the equivalent of 5,000 dollars a week in today’s money.

When he was a baby, he went to local preschool. Later, he would attend Jerry Carlson Jason Elementary School located in the city. Early on, his teachers noticed his high performance, and he was labeled as a gifted student. He graduated elementary in the top ten percent. He didn’t have many friends, mainly because he was a quiet person who didn’t interact with others much.

After graduating from elementary, he went to William P. Brandon Middle School, a more prestigious middle school. Although the work was harder, he was able to pass. He would graduate again, within the top ten percent. Life continued on as before.

### Middle Years

After finishing middle school, he would attend Abby High School, taking all Pre-AP classes during his freshman year. He took Pre-AP English I, Pre-AP Geometry, Pre-AP Biology, and Pre-AP World Geography as his core classes. Life would continue like normal, or so he thought…

#### High Massacre of 2784

* (Warning)
* (Event)

Warning, this area contains content that some people might find upsetting or disturbing. Do not read this if you find this uncomfortable, especially if you’ve been a victim of these types of events.

It was a calm winters day. The date was January 12th, 2784. There wasn’t much going on, like usual. It was around 12:44 to 1:20 pm, and the lunch brake would occur soon. 4th period had just started. He was in is advanced algebra II class, having begun a new bundle a couple of days earlier after the brake had ended. Hem his classmates and his instructors along with everybody else had expected a normal boring uneventful day. Well, they were wrong.

Suddenly, there were news reports about a various robberies and acts of arson all over the city. Several banks and jewelry stores were being robbed in downtown, meanwhile, several buildings were going in flames in the outer suburbs. In the rural county, several neighborhood fights had broken out. In the commercial district, several bombs had gone off in the local mall, with a building belong to Cross State Energy Corporation going up in flames as well.
### Afterwards

He was traumatized by the extents, but he tried to shrug it off. He knew that at some point, something dangerous was going to happen. He just felt. So rather than letting this event scare, he would use this event for a source of motivation. A source to encourage him to do good. Life would continue, more or less the same afterwards.

#### Fresh into adult hood

Well, time had passed, with not much going on.

## Westfallen (A.U)

Time had, passed, and well, his life was going normally. Or so to say. It was a calm summers morning, when he had arrived at his place of work. He stopped at the security gate, got past that, stopped at the two other gates and got past those. He, then got out of his vehicle and made it to his area of work. There, he found out that they would be testing the portal again, with a supposed “breakthrough.” He would be tasked with logging results, as directed by the facility administrator.

The facility had spent hours preparing. Now the thing is that these portals required vast amounts of energy. The last experiment had knocked out the facility’s main power corps online, Now supposedly, using a wired type of technology, that was designed to “amplify,” energy, they would be using this to power the portal. The main source of energy would come from the facility’s generators.

Preparations were finishing up, with the final checkups under way. John would be in a room along with other scientists. Federal contractors were also present. The facility administrator and other staff of “more importance” would be located up above, on a separate floor. Inside the main testing chamber would be several protected and armed personnel.

The experiment began to start, with John fully alert. The first couple of minutes had everyone in the facility uncertain and full with anxiety. The facility’s generators were taking a beating, and it seemed as if the experiment would fail, again.

But then, just after the the generators hit breaking point, the portal opened, and held. It was a mere time to celebrate, everyone rejoicing. That is, until a metal hand came out, and along with it, a “weird robot.” Now the thing is, these portals require very specific coordinates to lead to a specific destination. And these aren’t your standard longitude latitude coordinates. Because there were no coordinates, it would open up in a random place, which was dangerous.

This “robot,” was fairly tall, and heavily armed. It looked around before becoming hostile, for unknown reasons. A guard shot it dead, or so he thought. The robot somehow managed to re-heal. Concerning considering the fact that the plasma used in 27th century weapons was very acidic against “unprotected” metals.

It grabbed the guard, after which he shot it using every round in his shotgun’s magazine. Well, yes these weapons use a “type of round.” He then made his way to the portal, not to go in it, but just to stand closer, with his colleagues warning him not to. Out of arrogance, you could say. Anyways, he got closer, when another metal hand grabbed him, and pulled him through. After some brief screaming, all got quiet. Dead quiet.

Suddenly, a group of those robots came out. They looked around, before turning hostile. Just hostile. With arms that could turn into weapons and faces that would make a fairly well known emoticon used during those “funny” situations, they took the room by storm.

‘Everyone panicked. Well mostly. Some just ran, with John being one of the first to do so. The guards in the room were overwhelmed, and everyone who didn’t run was killed. Well the guard in the main security office was asleep. He woke up after hearing a multitude of beeps from one of his computers, beeps that signaled the pressing of panic buttons on radios. Well, he issued a Category V Containment Lockdown, sending the whole facility into a frenzy.

Guards, scientists, maintenance personnel and even visitors all armed themselves, mobilizing to stop the threat. Well earlier, the administrator had order the portal to be closed, but the controls malfunctioned, because of the power problem. Well the scientists and repairers attempted to fix it, but just after they have, banging was heard on the door.

Johnson, later acquired what would become his signature weapon, the M7 Series 2 EPR Revolver. Well, he knew that the first thing that had to be done was to shut off the portal. He then fought his way through the killer machines, slaying every single one in front of him. He eventually made it to the stairwell that led to the control room \, but before he could make it, the room began to collapse.

He then fled the area before he could be crushed. The next plan was to call for help. After fighting his way again, he reached the main armory, which also served as a communications station during an emergency. The problem was the door was sealed shut, so he needed up planting explosives to blast open the door. But the charges needed time to detonate, five minutes specifically.

Meanwhile, the facility was being overrun, with sector after sector falling to the hands of the invading army. Facility security forces attempted to retake the facility numerous times, but resistance proved futile.

So he had to fend off these robots while the charges’ timers count down. For five minutes he fought robot, after robot after robot. At one point, he grabbed a heavy machine gun and began firing like crazy. But thanks to their regenerative properties, despite the weapon’s high capacity and ultra fast fire rate, he could not get a kill without having to heavily concentrate fire power on one at a time.

So he threw the machine gun at the group of hostiles where it then exploded. He then pulled out his revolver, where he realized that electric weapons were actually rather useful against these foes. Now the electric revolver was designed to only electrocute enemies, but with 2 - 3 shots, the enemies’ systems could be overloaded, causing them to explode and “vaporize.”

This, along with a laser blade would be the weapons he used, until came a duel with an exceptionally powerful robot. This long duel was a tough one. He received a great beating. But his fitness routine, skills in martial arts and sheer determination, he prevailed. At one point, it grabbed him by the feet, and slammed his side into the a metal pole. It then jumped and aimed a chainsaw that it seemingly pulled out of nowhere straight at him. But with fast reflexes, he grabbed an energy shield emitter and activated it, trapping the enemy with its chainsaw.

It pulled, he pulled. The robot was stronger, so what he did was this: he pulled back for a moment before slamming into the enemy, using that built up kinetic energy to his aid, causing an even harder impact. The machine dazed, he grabbed a shock baton, set it to its highest setting and then slain the enemy.

More enemies were appearing though, and he was tiered and beaten. But the timer had finally run down, and all he did was duck, as the explosion killed everything in its way. He then made his way into the armory, a secondary door closing behind him, where he then proceeded to call for help. But then, more banging was heard on the door…

Well, he didn’t know what to do. There were a lot of weapons, but he wasn’t sure how useful they would’ve been. Well, his worries would come to an end mostly. Someone else in the facility had made contact, much to his surprise. Well, it was a group of six individuals, who too had gotten stuck in this mayhem. They weren’t dead, yet, but they needed to find a way out of there.

Johnson, telling them of his troubles and telling them that he would give his assistance if they rescued him, guided the group of six through the facility, telling them how to get passed every door, every hallway and every room. By this time, all resistance had diminished, with the last pockets of resistance being wiped out.

Eventually came and freed him. But it was that moment that they were informed that the air force was going to bombard the base in several minutes. A helicopter was waiting to evacuate them, but they didn’t have much time. So they all made their way to the roof as fast as they could, having to overcome all of the obstacles that lay in heir path.

After hasty dire moments, they made it to the extraction point on the roof, where they were then airlifted by a helicopter to safety, just as they took off, fighter jets were seen bombarding the base.

He, and his new comrades were safe, for now…

## Quotes

* “What matters is not what you plan, what matters is what gets done. You can spend your entire life planning, but you’ll only spend a small chunk of it acting.”.
* ”It’s pointless. All pointless. What are we to do if there’s an enemy who can bypass everything we can throw at them. We’re not going to survive much longer if we keep infighting like a bunch of babies!”
* ”So, just because you have all of these amazing abilities, just because you can fly and have magic and are much stronger, you think others should bow to you? That attitude won’t work in today’s world. Not sure what era you’re from, but I suggest you got back to that era.”
* “Many times I often think about… everything. Like why do humans do good. Why do humans do bad. It’s not just humans. I feel like those who are good, have just a little bit of bad, and those who are bad, have just a little bit of good. It’s not like a *Disney* film, where the protagonist is without sin, and antagonist who is nothing but evil. Actually, that would be more like *Avatar*, thinking about it. This is by far, one of the most controversial topics.”
