Doctor Albert Overbuild

Dr. Overbuild

**Doctor Albert Overbuild** is the Assembly Faction Leader.

As the leader of Assembly, Doctor Overbuild is a very intelligent genius as well as rather eccentric, much like the famed physicist Albert Einstein. His passion is building and pushing the uses of Imagination. He spends months at a time locked in his building laboratory, creating the visions in his head.

## History

Long ago, Doctor Overbuild and his colleague, Baron Typhonus, traveled across the universe in search of the Imagination Nexus. They recruited Hael Storm and, although they were unsure whether they could trust the pirate, were led to Duke Exeter and eventually discovered a clue left by the First Builders on Gallant 5. To prevent others from following, they smashed their compasses. Before leaving Gallant 5, Doc Overbuild created cryptic clues for those with enough imagination to retrace the journey.

After exploring the farthest reaches of the universe in the Venture Koi, Doctor Overbuild and the other explorers found Planet Crux at last. There, Doctor Overbuild found some ruins and was able to build Nexus Naomi. They found the Imagination Nexus within the Nexus Temple, and Overbuild imagined a Robot Dog into creation. However, Baron Typhonus betrayed them and created the Spider Boss, which smashed the Robot Dog and attacked the other explorers before turning on the Baron himself. The Spider Boss and Baron Typhonus created the Maelstrom, and while Doctor Overbuild struggled to contain the chaotic energies with pieces of the Venture Koi, Duke Exeter protected the scientist from the Maelstrom's lightning and even sacrificed himself to save Overbuild. Although he was smashed by Maelstrom lightning, Doctor Overbuild was able to rebuild Duke Exeter after temporarily containing the Maelstrom. However, the Maelstrom then proceeded to shatter Planet Crux itself.

Doc Overbuild, Duke Exeter, and Hael Storm survived the explosion, and as Overbuild rebuilt his Robot Dog, he realized that the Imagination Nexus was not yet extinguished. Together, they founded the Nexus Force to defend the universe from the Maelstrom. However, after Vanda Darkflame was recruited, the four leaders of Nexus Force clashed over the best way to defend the universe, and so each created their own faction. Believing that building and creation were key to countering the destruction of the Maelstrom, Doctor Overbuild founded the Assembly faction for Engineers, Summoners, and Inventors across the universe.

Doctor Overbuild, Hael Storm, Duke Exeter, and Vanda Darkflame led the charge against the Maelstrom's forces in the Battle of Zorillo Plaza. In the Battle of Nimbus Station, Doc Overbuild and the other faction leaders were led into a trap by disguised Stromlings.

## Wartime

In Nexus Tower, Doctor Overbuild spent most of his time pondering in the Nexus Core. During the final weeks of Nexus Tower's construction, Doctor Overbuild provided updates on the construction progress in his diary. He was not amused by the anonymous donation of Maelstrom-Infected Bricks, which caused problems with the tower's plumbing.

After the completion of Nexus Tower, Doctor Overbuild polled Nexus Force members' opinions on certain aspects of the organization on a weekly basis, compiling data for the weekly Nexus Force Council meetings held in the Venture League Map Room. All data was discussed and analyzed using Doc. Overbuild's correlational dot plot datalyzer.

Paradox spies were once sent by Vanda Darkflame to eavesdrop on Doctor Overbuild. Doc Overbuild was overheard arguing with Customer Service about Johnny Thunder's Greatest Hits being the Selection of the Month every month and overshadowing the new Gwen Tweenbangle CD, which Overbuild wanted to dance to. In the end, Doc Overbuild speculated that the person he was speaking to was actually Johnny Thunder himself.

## Creations

Prior to the battle for Crux Prime, Doctor Overbuild wrote a news report detailing information about the Skeleton Dragon and the Rockets and Race Cars that could be built using Skulkin Bone Digs, as well as a recommendation on renting Avant Grove. Doc Overbuild later designed Assembly vehicles, such as the Solarblast Rocket and the Blockader Race Car. After discovering a way to harness the power of Imagination in its purest form, Doc Overbuild and the other Faction Leaders designed Valiant Weapons.
