Thanks! Just two more members to go. I really should start thinking of a name for this team…
ALMANAC
Bio: Tyler Abrams was not the product of a loving family. His parents were rogue geneticists, trying to unlock the potential of the human genome. His mother’s specialty was in neuroscience. Thus Tyler was born out of necessity, rather than love. They needed a stock of genetic material to take their experiments to the next level. His genes were altered from the moment of conception to early childhood, the hormone therapy and DNA experiments continuing well into adolescence. Eventually his parents made a mistep and were caught by the U.S. government. They were imprisoned for illegal gene tampering and child abuse. Tyler was remanded to a government facility and spent the rest of his childhood, raised by a rotating cast of doctors, counselors, guardians, and therapists. They knew he was not a normal child.
Tyler was indeed gifted, as his parents had intended. On top of an eidetic memory, Tyler could absorb and retain information at an unprecedented rate. He has some kind of imperceptible and immeasurable sensory capacity that allows him to absorb data streams in any form directly into his longterm memory. He quickly became the world’s leading mind in physics, biology, engineering, linguistics; any field he thought to become an expert in. He was a one-man government think-tank for much of his young life, until his skills became practical in the field, during the invasion. Pinnacle, Epoque, and a government military unit took him to the heart of the incursion site. There he was able to discern that the invasion and dimensional apertures were being coordinated by a captive sentient energy life-form, coerced into doing so. He devised a way to free this energy being and gave Epoque the information necessary to collapse the main breach, creating a feedback loop that destroyed the other incursion sites.
After this mission, Tyler was given the choice of returning to his isolation within the government facility that had been his home for much of his life, or to take Pinnacle’s offer to use his abilities to help the world. Having had a taste of freedom and adventure, Tyler took on the codename: ALMANAC and became the team’s science officer and technician.
Abilities: Almanac has the ability to instantaneously absorb vast amounts of information to be retained in his eidetic memory, which seems to have limitless capacity. He does not have to read or study in a traditional human sense, rather his brain projects an imperceptible ‘learning field’ that scans and absorbs all viable data streams in his vicinity. He has amassed a vast knowledge in all various fields. He is the team’s chief medical officer and physician, chief engineer and tech officer, informational specialist, among other things.
Almanac does not generally participate in combat missions, preferring to remain behind and maintain headquarters or provide informational support through comms. However he has developed a personal arsenal that he wears to make himself less vulnerable should physical confrontation be unavoidable. He wears a suit that absorbs kinetic energy and minimizes impact and a gauntlet capable of storing this energy and releasing it in pulses of kinetic force.
Bonus- I made him in a gold variant too thinking to make more colorful, but I thought “Woah this looks WAY too much like DC crisis megastar, Alexander Luthor.” So I opted for the grey tone you see instead.
