The Adventures of Mavus

"The Adventures of Mavus" follows the firsthand account of Mavus Shaw, as he enlists with The Inquisition some time after Blackflame betrays Darkstar.

The series starts with a metahuman Mavus receiving a distress signal from his old friend Junon Gareth, that was sent to all of Corinth and its neighbouring countries in an attempt to recruit as many forces to battle a tyrannical empire known as "The New Militia". Mavus joins the Inquisition under the codename Maven, and hopes to join Darkstar so he can fight with Junon and John "Jason" Crypt.

Prelude

Mavus attempts to learn an entire semester's worth of Solid Mechanics on his own, ever since his college was destroyed by The Automatons, an alien robotic race that were capable of somehow inhibiting his powers. Taking refuge in an old abandoned hut, Mavus pirates a few textbooks, and pulls a few out of his closet, but succumbs from boredom. After struggling with a few problems, Mavus throws the textbook out the window and wishes it blew up. Mavus subconsciously creates a massive mounted railgun, which accidentally obliterates the entire neighbourhood. Mavus manages to make it out alive by subconsciously building several force field generators that protect him from the blast. Mavus realizes that his powers have returned, meaning the Automatons have been destroyed by someone, or something.

Mavus looks at the stack of textbooks that he was initially planning to review over the summer, and throws them out the window. Picking up his laptop, Mavus wills the laptop to change shape, and the device elongates, breaking apart and reassembling into a mechanical skeleton, complete with tech of its own. Mavus uploads his consciousness into the mech, and begins to set up a protective chamber to contain his subconscious body. Mavus then begins to build his base, complete with reinforced walls, weaponry, and a camera system, which is linked to the mech. Mavus gives his mech the name "Main", and begins to extract raw materials from his surroundings, repurposing them into powerful titanic alloys. The alloys become elongated and begin to transform, and Mavus forms an entire platoon of robotic troops, complete with their own energy blasters, miniguns, and micro munitions.

Mavus sends a few reconnaissance units to fly to the site of the Automaton core to investigate, and manages to locate his old college buddy Junon, who is accompanied by the boy who was responsible for the destruction of the Automatons.
