Background

Initially activated in late December of 1998 under an alternate designation, the robot now known as Deviate spent the first nine years of his existence in a barely functional state, due to defective structuring of his neural network. A unique construct, intended to be autonomous and self-aware, Deviate was left to fall into disrepair, thought to be irreparably defective. It wasn't until his creators sought an alternative opinion that it was discovered that the structural anomalies in Deviate’s neural network were causing a massive processing overload of all sensory input.

Upon discovering this, Deviate's original creators signed him over to the Saens Institute of Omniology and Neuroscience for experimental repair. It was to be another year before a solution could be found for Deviate's anomalous neural structures. Unfortunately, his neural network could not simply be rebuilt without compromising his unique function. Despite his flaws, he was still considered to be a sapient life form, and SION was unwilling to put a life at such risk. However, with the use of sensory dampening augments installed both internally and externally, Deviate was eventually brought to full awareness.

Deviate has since embraced both his renewed existence, his new designation, and his new “family” at SION. While he still maintains contact with his original creators, the relationship is somewhat strained, and disconnected from what his creators might have hoped. Still struggling with his inbuilt defects, along with those brought on by his long period of disrepair, Deviate is nonetheless making up for lost time by living life large and to the fullest.

He currently resides at the Millennium City SION campus full time, receiving customized tutoring and education for his heuristic learning processes, and acting as a social mentor for his peers. Recently, Deviate has decided to give back even further by registering with PRIMUS as an independent hero, and joining the Progeny supergroup.

Abilities, Skills and Attributes

Abilities

Kinetic Manipulation

Deviate possesses an innate ability to manipulate the kinetic properties of objects in motion. This ability extends to velocity, trajectory, and (to a more limited degree), torque. Though this ability is largely intuitive, he continues to hone it with additional training and practice.

Deviate is able to perceive and manipulate numerous individual objects at once. This allows him to deflect incoming projectiles, while simultaneously directing outgoing objects for maximum effect.

At this point in his experience and training, Deviate's abilities are limited by the following factors:

• In order for him to manipulate the kinetic properties of an object, it must already be in motion.

  
  
• He can only slow, divert, or alter the trajectory of objects. He is unable to fully stop a moving object.
  
  
• He is only able to manipulate an object in its entirety. He cannot manipulate only part of an object, (such as stopping an incoming fist).
  
  
• He is unable to manipulate objects too small to be seen (no molecular or atomic manipulation, sorry!)
  
  
• The larger the mass and density of an object, the more focus and effort is required for Deviate to affect it. He can manipulate multiple bullets and other small projectiles simultaneously with ease, a single average-sized human without much trouble, multiple humans with more focus, up to being able to affect an automobile to a limited degree.

With additional practice and training of his abilities, it is possible that some of these limitations may be overcome.

Hyperspacial Awareness

Supporting Deviate's kinetic abilities is a finely tuned and highly sensitive spacial awareness which functions similarly to a three-dimensional radar. This sense allows him to perceive the space and all objects with mass in a three-dimensional sphere around him.

This perception is highly sensitive, but in general cannot be used through dense solid surfaces, such as walls or the ground.

Hypersensory Awareness

Firearms Training

Deviate has had training and is proficient in small firearms handling, use, and maintenance, as well as supporting and ongoing education in applied kinesiology. Even without the use of his kinetic powers, his aim is practiced and accurate, and he continues to practice his firearms skill on a regular basis, with or without the support of his kinetic abilities.

Mechanical Engineering

Deviate possesses some basic knowledge and practical application of mechanical engineering concepts.

His skills in this area are still of a novice level, however he is proficient at such tasks as customizing and modifying his NERF blasters for his personal use. He is currently engaged in tutoring to enhance this skill.

Comments from other Heroes

"He's really... tall? And robotic-y? He tends to be kinda overly judgy at times... is that a robot thing? I once saw a movie about a robot that tried to kill crew people on a flight to Mars or Jupiter or somewhere and it had one eye too... anyways, I don't know how it ended because it was boring and I fell asleep. OH, sorry... back to Deevs. ANYWAYS, he's not a bad guy. He likes clothes and shopping and I think he really cares about his close friends. He seems like super awesome at fighting crime even though I STILL cant believe he uses Nerf weapons. He's dating our team's cat, Cait... so I guess Miss P's loss is his gain. It would be cool if they get married one day." - Lash "There is so much more to Deviate than just being a cheerful, if somewhat eccentric at times, robot. He isn't afraid to champion others, even when this places him at odds with those he cares about. He constantly worries about his friends, often at the expense of processing his own situation and emotions. I care about him a great deal. He's like the younger brother I never had." - Faith "Deevs is all about motion, y'know. It's his mindset, it's his powers, it's how he operates. And that's. I don't wanna say motivating, but it is what it is. You spend enough time around him, and you sort've get pulled in on that momentum he's got going. He's good, and he does good. I trust him to be what a hero ought'a be." - Sublimate "As quirky and cool as Brobot may be, there's no chance you'll catch me wearing a 'scoodie' with cat ears. Nu-uh. Devs, mate, it's not happening." - Black Ice "For a robot, Deevinator is pretty...mushy. If I had known you can use tear gas on 'bots, I'd have saved a ton of ammunition. Literally. But I'm starting to get a handle on the guy: he's good. Good to the bone - chassis - whatever. And anyone who can make chopsticks into ammunition is badass in my book." - Kid Ballistic "Deviate is good. I mean that in basically every way possible, but mostly in how he interacts with people, robots, creatures... It's clear he cares, and that's something that his fleshier counterparts aren't very good at sometimes." - Strong Suit
