Enzo Matrix

[Enzo Matrix]

Matrix
"My format? I have no format. I am a renegade, lost in the Omniverse."

Description

Matrix is a tall and muscular man. He is easily identified by his green skin, and his short green hair as well. He wears blue pants, a black vest and black boots, as well other other accessories he gained in his travels through the Games. Another identifying feature his his robotic right eye, a replacement after losing his eye in a battle in his young life. His eye is gold in color, with a red "M" that will light up when he targets something, sometimes so brightly that it turns his entire eye red. It is capable of advanced scanning and targeting methods, and he is able to upgrade it to suit his needs in the Omniverse. His eye is synced not only with himself but also his firearm, simply named Gun, that is always by his side. This makes his weapon a literal extension of himself.

The world Matrix originates from is a unique land. He is from a "system" known as Mainframe, which is essentially a giant city in the middle of an endless ocean. Mainframe exists inside of a computer, and Matrix and everyone he knows are actually computer programs. The systems are a part of a larger world known as the "Net" that can be traveled between with some work, or systems can lock down and isolate themselves. Another, more dangerous, way of traveling is through the "Web" which connects all systems, but it is incredibly dangerous due to the monsters and other hazards, and it is essentially a far more dangerous outer space. A large hazard are "Games" that the user inputs into systems. If the User wins a Game, that section of the system is destroyed and all the inhabitants trapped in the game are deleted. As a result, Matrix is among those skilled enough to enter games, "reboot" by downloading game data, and defeat the user. To prevent his own deletion when he was younger, he learned to permanently enter games and use them to travel between systems.

This, in effect, makes a great deal of Matrix's skills and abilities references to popular games, as he has experienced many of them as an enemy AI, on top of his unique abilities he has acquired from outside the games.

Personality

After his travels through the games, battling in many different systems and also upon reflecting on his own failures to defend Mainframe as a boy, Matrix has become incredibly jaded. He fights a constant battle within himself to remember that he his really a good person, deep down, and what his purpose is. He has no qualms about killing those who would do harm to him or anyone he holds close, even in cold blood, and sometimes his friends and allies have to hold him back from unnecessary bloodshed. His demeanor is cold and uncaring, having experienced so much hardship in his life that he is no longer sympathetic to anyone else's. Though it can be hard to crack through his shell, making a friend of Matrix is a friend for life, and he is genuinely a good person who will do anything to protect his friends and allies, just in his own way. He will rarely tell anyone his full name, however, simply going by "Matrix" instead of his first name.

History

Pre-Omniverse

[spoiler]Born and raised in the system of Mainframe, Enzo Matrix always aspired to be a guardian...to mend and defend his home from viruses and the Games. He idolized the guardian assigned to Mainframe, Bob, and wanted to be just like him. While his sister Dot was constantly helping Bob, young Enzo was unfortunately mostly in the way and a liability. He continued to try and help, and even managed to befriend a game AI, something completely unheard of even to the guardians. However, after a fateful battle with the Web, Bob was cast into the depths and Enzo was the only one left with guardian coding. Enzo was forced to contend with the virus Megabyte, as well as the Games. Eventually, it was too much, and he was defeated and nearly nullified by a fighting game. Instead of letting themselves lose completely, Enzo, AndrAIa, and Frisket switched their icons to Game AI mode, and were taken away.

Enzo grew quickly and changed drastically in the games. He faced challenge after challenge as he battled his way back to Mainframe, gaining many unique experiences and skills. He replaced his broken eye with a robotic one, became an expert shot with a gun, and super strong from all his experiences. Now fully grown, he no longer used his first name, he simply went by "Matrix". He was no longer the energetic young child, but instead a jaded and angry adult. Eventually they made it back to Mainframe, alongside Bob and a handful of new allies, and were able to defeat Megabyte for good and restore the system.[/spoiler]
Omniverse

[spoiler]Matrix arrived in the Nexus, and at first believed he was in a glitched game. He came to realize this was not the case, after gained a little more information from a squad of stormtroopers. He tried summoning a transport to move himself around with, but was unable to keep his mind off of AndrAIa, and accidentally summoned her to the Omniverse as well. The two of them traveled to the Vasty Deep together, where they stole a boat and began to explore the realm, looking for answers and a place to stay for the time being.

They eventually came upon Cinnabar Island, though the council was untrusting of newcomers. They proved their worth by venturing to Isla Nublar and rescuing several younger members of the community, and were in turn welcomed. They set up a home in the jungle outside of town, and then Matrix departed for Coruscant at the suggestion of Mewtwo. His search for information was fruitless, and he came back to Cinnabar in short time. Mewtwo explained that he wanted him to see the Empire he insisted on running from, to know what he was truly up against. After that, he made the suggestion that they enter the Dataverse.

Matrix summoned his loyal companion, Frisket, to his side, and the trio of Matrix, AndrAIa, and Frisket journeyed to the Dataverse together. With the guidance of a Majin named Sesa, they found the Databanks amongst the chaos of the Dataverse. It was there tht Matrix met the Librarian AI, a prime that operated the entire Databanks. This being informed Matrix of his true original, that he was a computer program and that the games he knew had exposed him to many different realities. Matrix was disturbed, but also comforted with the explanation, as he understood the potential he held.

Unfortunately, before he could utilize this knowledge, he was whisked away to the Hero's Graveyard, a strange 'verse that was controlled by a poweful warlock, all in order to imprison a poweful spirit. The spirit, Teucer, begged for assistance in escaping. Matrix found little choice, and ended up allying with fellow computer programs "Smith" and "Colonel" against a powerful entity known as the Cyberdemon. In the midst of a fierce battle, Matrix was killed by the creature.

To his great surprise, Smith and Colonel, amongst others, not only died after him but also beat him to the Nexus, somehow. Matrix learned about the betrayal Smith suffered at the hands of the prime known as Sasuke, and that he was waiting to extract vengeance. Though his team from the Graveyardverse was fully assembled, with many extras, Matrix declined to participate in the ambush. Upon witnessing the fusion that created the monstrosity called the "Harbinger" Matrix departed to the nearest gate he could find.

Given little opportunity to rest, Matrix encountered a prime and two secondaries, Paul Atreides, Gurney Halleck, and Duncan Idaho, though he only knew the prime as "Muad'dib." Together, the four of them worked together to overpower and destroy a bandit camp. Though it was business as usual for Paul, Matrix found himself deeply effected by the proceedings. They parted ways, with the promise of a future alliance. Matrix returned to Cinnabar and AndrAIa, vowing a renewed sense of purpose. This came just in time, because AndrAIa informed him almost immediately that one of the members of Cinnabar's community they had recently rescued, Coal the Charmander, and gone missing under suspicious circumstances.[/spoiler]

Base

Matrix's home in the Omniverse is a house nestled in the woods on CInnabar Island. After a five minute walk down a dirt trail from the main settlement, one would encounter the house he shares with AndrAIa. It is two stories up, with a deck that wraps around all but the front of the house. The back deck contains a pool and a hot tub, and is situated on a hill that overlooks the river and jungle for an incredible view. Also on the deck are various chairs, tables, as well as a grill and a mini-bar for outdoor lounging and entertainment.

Inside, on the first level, is a large kitchen with an island in the center and a dining area. There is a large living room with couches, chairs, a fireplace, and television, and both rooms have glass doors that lead to the back deck. At the front is the main door and the stairs that go to the second level, as well as a door to a bathroom and a side room that serves as a study, with a desk and a few other chairs in it. The top level is a single large bedroom that AndrAIa and Matrix share. It also has a back entrance, with a door that opens up to outdoor stairs down to the pool area of the deck.

From the hallway in the main level is a hidden entrance that descends into a lower basement. This is a two story basement, with the upper level being a catwalk that circles the area and breaks off into four rooms, one on each wall, with two staircases on opposite sides that drop to a lower level. The lower level has a center room, but also four mirroring rooms on each wall. These rooms contain various things like emergency bedding and security systems, and also the various upgrades to the base. It is essentially their command room, and the basement is the actual "base" portion of the house that requires work to infiltrate.
