Background and Origin
Out Of Character (OOCly)
Doktor Zachary Carleton (aka ZachsMind) is a fictional character based very loosely on myself (see also "Mary Sue" and endless variants) which I've adapted to multiple projects and social virtual settings since the summer of 1985. I joined The Church of the SubGenius and back then it was customary to make up pseudonyms for ourselves on the eventuality of committing Art Crimes of questionable scruples and legality. We never actually got around to doing anything that required a secret identity, and the only reason why my identity was secret at the time was because no one cared. I fashioned this elaborate back story for my alter ego that somehow involved cloning. I don't recall the details now but it's not important. Somewhere around the turn of the millenium I began using ZachsMind as a nomenclature online for Bulletin Board Services, AOL and Prodigy, email, then myspace and facebook and twitter. It's who I go by online, but it's really just another way I refer to myself now, and the identities have blurred to the point where it just doesn't matter, beyond vain feeble attempts to keep my online and offline lives separated by a nonexistent wall of apathy and willful ignorance. The version of ZachsMind used inside the game of Champions Online has been mostly an inside joke this past decade. A way to tell myself "continuing adventures" of an idea I long ago should have abandoned.
In game (ICly)
The general public knows little to nothing about Doktor Zachary Carleton. He's in the news now and then. Usually as one of many names who assisted The Champions in saving the world again. Historians would note he was a participant in the preventing The Qularr Invasion of late August 2009. Prior to that he was not a superhero. He was instead a freelance inventor who helped Defender and a number of other 'capes' with gadgets and weaponry. In fact before and during his time as a superhero, he also freelances as someone who can help superheroes "suit up" for a price. That coupled with a more regular salary for assisting Doctor Silverback with his many projects and experiments helped put food on the table, figuratively speaking.
Powers, Skills, and Attributes
Powers
Ranged Damage - Wrist bolter with particle damage. Chest beam with crushing damage. Experimental blaster with various sometimes predictable results.
Passive Offenses and Defenses - Zach's robot chassis are nearly Unbreakable and with some Concentration can increase his damage output.
Miscellaneous Gadgetry Robot chassis housing a humanoid nervous system is a little faster and stronger than the average human being. Jet pack attached allows for flight. Medical nanites work on both organic and artificial materials keeping Zach and nearby friends up and running efficiently. Magically imbued gloves allow for some limited melee capabilities. Zach is also a walking cell tower and wifi hotspot, with its own self-replenishing power source.
Skills
INTELLIGENCE - Zach has multiple doctorates in various sciences and disciplines. He's also studied under the tutelage of Doctor Silverback and great minds from this world and others.
CONSTITUTION - Zach has a high will and mastery over his own body and mind, allowing him to stay in the fight longer than some.
EGO - Zach can be quite full of himself sometimes and has difficulty associating with people. However when he puts his mind to something, the results can be occasionally impressive.
Enemies
BadRobot: He's a savage with power armor like powers. Currently at large One of Zach's greatest failures. Zach created "Good Robot" to be a servant of mankind, but it was not supposed to have self-awareness. One day Zach absent mindedly left the robot's remote control on the work bench as he ran off saving the world again. While Zach was gone, the robot picked up his own remote control and wired it into himself. When Zach returned there was a big hole in the wall and a note that said, "Get your own coffee! I'm thru being ordered around, suckah!" So now Zach refers to it only as a "Bad Robot."
StarkFist: Ice powered menace. She's a maniac. Currently in jail. Just another crazy ex-girlfriend from Zach's past who once seemed to be nice but then one day she just got mean and they broke up. He went into fighting crime and she went into committing crime. Their relationship was back when he still had his head attached to his original body. They haven't really caught up recently since she's been incarcerated and he's been decaptitated. It's complicated.
General Perception
Although he does have the occasional fan who walks up to him and thanks him for this or that, most of the public knows little to nothing about Zach. They might know his name. He's been in the papers. They might know he's one of the good guys. There are images of him shaking hands with Defender and they're both smiling. That's about it. Defender has shaken hands with everyone. Player characters who are mad scientists themselves might see Zach as a coworker or someone they've rubbed elbows with at Mad Scientist Conventions. Fellow superheroes know him as one of the guys to go to if you need your gear fixed. Provided you can afford his fees and want something done right. There are others who will do it for less, but Zach's a bit of a perfectionist and you do get your money's worth. Most don't know he's a brain in a jar on a robot chassis. They think it's some kind of trick or unique approach to a costume. Granted, in a world where there's angels and demons and aliens and pirate ninjas, a brain in a jar on a robot isn't really that big of a deal, but some may find it more unsettling than others.
