At first this character was meant to be only a TaxiBot, but I couldn't come in contact with anyone from an existing Taxi-SG (if they still exist) so I started to roleplay with him and then he just grew on to me and his personality and story unfolded.

[edit] Affiliations

• Curator of the Guardians of the Earth.
• A former member of the Paragon City Protectors.
• Has regular contact with Tina Macintyre and helps the Portal Corporation frequently with theory, maintenance and fine-tuning of portals.

[edit] Personality

As built for only one purpose, war, he was initially equipped with just simple means of communication. Later on he has gotten several upgrades and has learned the most basic human behaviour. Humour is understood and assimilated. He still struggles with irony and sarcasm.

Some of the more inexplicable and weird acts of man he takes with a frown. If he could frown, that is.

Always polite and service minded. He never complains and always performs even the most boring task with a cheerful smile. Again, figuratively speaking.

If he's asked to do something he's not built for, he still does his best to do it flawlessly.

((Imagine a combination of C-3PO and Jeeves))

[edit] Motivation

At first he felt guilt for helping Rikti to invade Earth and that he owed mankind to help out by any possible means. Then he found out that it was actually very fulfilling to help people and to see their thankful expressions.

[edit] Primary Powers

His primary function is to control and alter gravity with electro magnets powered by the self-sustained fusion-driven warp engine that's embedded in his chest. By locally increasing gravity to such an extent that it collapses he can create temporal wormholes that allow him to instantly translocate himself or other objects to almost any spot in this or another dimension. But to create and maintain interdimensional wormholes he needs an external power source such as a smaller power plant or the strong reactors of battle cruiser star ships.

To protect the warp engine from any damage his body was made of a highly sturdy dura-steel alloy. This makes him being very heavy but since he can control gravity his weight is always adjusted to the surface he is currently on. Even when unconscious or shut down his backup system keeps this process running.

[edit] Secondary Powers

When travelling through wormholes you get exposed to very high gravitational forces, so to protect himself and his travellers from this and possible time-dilation he creates surrounding electromagnetic fields. This field also shields him from harm during combat; it can withstand bullets, rockets and even smaller nuclear bombs. If powered by an external power source he can expand the shield to contain an entire squadron of battle cruisers.

[edit] Additional Powers

[edit] Travel

Teleportation by travelling through the wormholes he can create. Theoretically he can create wormholes to any place, this dimension or another, but interstellar travel drains alot of energy from him so he prefers not to. Secondly there's not much for him to do on other planets anyway.

If needed he can also control the gravity around him to use it to fly and even bring along other people.

FredEx also enjoys taking the bus now and then; to gently just sit back and relax. He thinks it's most fascinating to watch people in transit.

[edit] Abilities

[edit] Vulnerabilities

[edit] Equipment

Internal communication system such as phone and computer link. Built-in astrogation charts, GPS, phone book and address register.

FredEx has been awarded the Omega Level Clearance Badge without going through the normal procedures. Since he was built by the Rikti in the Rikti Homeworld he already knew some of their secrets so SERAPH believed it being best to just give him the cleareance anyways. In that way he could also share with them what he already knew.

[edit] Character History

I am FredEx.

I am flawed.

Some see me as a gift and a valuable asset. I see myself as a broken tool that needs to be disassembled.

FredEx stands for 'Frontline educed Explosives'. I was built with Rikti cutting edge technology; I could protect battle cruisers with my energy shields. I could control gravity itself and bend space, create wormholes for advanced space travel. I was given all these abilities for one purpose; to invade Earth.

On that cursed day in May 2002 I helped opening portals for the Rikti war fleet that would soon start the invasion of the unknowing planet. As soon as I stepped out of the portal I began to execute my orders with a frightening determination. Within minutes I had detonated bombs in power plants, destroyed radio transmitters, phone lines, water supplies, armories, air force bases, naval shipyards, disarming their defenses and decapitating all their hopes for survival. At least, that was what we had hoped for. The Rikti hadn't counted on the massive power that Earth's heroes possessed. Six months of open war was about to start.

During these months I continued to perform unexpected strikes at important targets. Teleported in, activated bombs and then, protected by a powerful force field, endured the explosion and afterwards waded through the debris, making sure that everything was destroyed.

The Rikti had given me a very advanced Artificial Intelligence so I could make quick decisions and fast choices. But they had made me too advanced. In time I started to develop emotions. For each bomb I detonated I hated myself even more, knowing what I did, but without any means to stop it, as the orders were so deeply programmed within my core.

Finally, the Omega Team, lead by Hero 1, assaulted the Rikti base, disappeared into one of the portals to the Rikti homeworld and somehow caused an explosion that annihilated the portal and the entire base. I saw the opportunity and fled. For days I wandered without cause, griefing, cursing, hating myself for what I was and what I had done. I wanted to forget. I wanted to disappear. An intact power plant became the tool of choice, hoping that extreme voltage would overload my circuits and delete my memory.

When I regained consciousness, I had lost all BUT my memory. Full with anger, and sorrow I had to find another way to redeem myself. I started to help rebuilding the world I helped to destroy. At the same time I also had to re-learn all the abilities I'd lost.

My powers aren't yet at full potential, but I do all I can to make a difference. But no matter how many good deeds I do, no matter how many lives I save, I will never forgive myself. I will always carry the mark of shame and guilt for what I've done.

Without me, the Rikti might never have reached Earth.

Without me, hundreds of heroes would still be alive.

Without me, tens of thousands of soldiers would've been able to return to their families.

Without me, Paragon City would've been a beacon of light and prosperity.

I am FredEx.

I am flawed.
