Name: Edward [3D-W4R-D]
Race: Artificial intelligence
Personality: A rather philosophical and thoughtful character, Edward's main focus on life is to understand the world, although such goal has been placed in the back burn due to the current events and the group he is affiliated. the Artificial intelligence is usually a support kind of soldier, working more on the sidelines rather than the frontline, unless the situation needs to, where Edward would activate his offensive protocols.

Bio: Eduardo Jimenez was a scientist working for the Mexican government, specially in the Research and Development of Artificial intelligence, his team had the funds that the limits would be their own imagination, each of the scientist working on the project for a Link with an AI had their own reasons to work with it, as this was a joint project between Germany, Japan, India, South Korea and Mexico. The countries were having a stable economic relationship throughout the years and this project was one of the results of their collaboration. Oddly though was the location of the labs, both Japan and Germany wanted the labs on their countries for the sake of protection, but after a month of debates, the country was Mexico, only few knew the scientific and fundamental reasons, but on the off topic talks, one would hear that there was a transparency in the mexican people since everyone knew of the corruption within the government.
It was just easier to look at the governor or mayor who would be corrupt, they barely hid any dirt.
But back with our scientist, one of the actions he made that ensured the progress of the department was the fact that his home country had by far the most economy treaties in the planet, this was the main asset for his team as each and every scientist was of other country or from another culture. Like a dream where the best minds of the era worked together on something that was one of Science's miraculous breakthroughs, transferring a human's entirety into an artificial intelligence.
At first, the project was declined due to the moral and opinion of the people, but after two years of debate, theories and talks, the team received the green light to start the project, this was 10 years ago. Eduardo was hellbent on this project, dedicating most of his day on the labs and computer, slowly taking each step forward, his team would also give their best, since their research would also be used for their own governments.
Their first prototypes were the average AI with simple functions, not the best start, but it was progress, each test and experiment was tightly looked by the scientists and engineers, only after five years of work, they had developed a self-learning AI that would mimic each action it saw, the first experiment with linking a human's brain with the AI's was two years later, with a rather.. interesting result, the AI's brain overloaded with the human's and collapsed, this was labeled as "progress". The team was still learning.
Almost another year passed when the AI was overworked, but not on critical as the brain of the test subject gave simple commands or made twitches that a person would do. Eduardo was ecstatic with the result, which was a mistake as the emotional surge caused the AI to overload, and this time the AI reacted too, giving what he would later describe as a "mental slap to the head.". It seemed that the AI learned how to scold its creators.
The Link to the AI was still in testing process, but it was working, the germans would see this as a way to avoid dangers in industries, the japanese could link their minds with androids for space faring work, the Mexicans could use this for their disaster aid teams, there were many possibilities!
And yet it took one single day to burst the bubble of hope.
No one knew exactly what happened, the Research and Development building had an explosion from the inside, a random witness would have seen what seemed to be soldiers with no marks or symbols going inside, the data would be stolen, the scientists would be kidnapped or killed on the spot, but what Eduardo knew was that whoever was behind this wanted the project he had worked for nearly a decade.
He was ready for this scenario, Jimenez wasn't the head of the project for nothing, which also gave him the total clearance on the Research's data, with the single press of a button, the entirety of the project would be erased, only the most important pieces of his work were in two places, the AI and his own brain. The gunshots could be heard from the hallway, he had not much time as he connected himself to the AI again, the chances of a full Link where on a 58%, which for him was enough to go on full force, if it didn't work, at least the overload would kill both of them.
The soldier clad in black armor kicked the door open and fired at the scientist square on the head, the helmet he had exploded as the bullet went through the brain and out of the head, but before the soldier had the chance to take a step forward, an iron grip held his neck, there was a sort of android with a light coming from a vertical slit. He was thrown with ease to the wall as the android ran away, holding a device with a single switch, with the flick of it, the entire building shook as the computers were destroyed, the data was gone, a nearly decade long project was gone.
Three years have passed as that event ocurred, the first to blame was the government of the United States, followed by the extremists of the middle east, although it could be biased by the hate that the mexican and U.S. government had with each other, but there was no evidence of the group that attacked the lab. As for the android that had managed to escape, he would soon find a small but efficient group of individuals who had similar goals as him.
The first meeting he had with one of them was with a bullet gracing the edge of his optic slit, it was a warning shot, but he recognized the armored person, mostly by the blonde hair flowing from the helmet and vulpine tail, he had heard of this group and how they were hunting specific individuals, and when he was asked of why he would get into a rogue team of this kind, the AI responded with a simple answer.
"I want to know who wanted my research."
Abilities: Edward's abilities in the cybernetic world are next to perfect as he can "see" it in a way no biological being could, connecting to the servers, hacking his way, even controlling certain electronics to his advantage. This doesn't mean that the AI can't fight as his mechanical body has the speed and strength to crush walls as if they were made of cardboard. But his main asset is the mind, Edward's tactical mind and cold thinking is what makes him a dangerous enemy, he sees everything as if it was a game of chess, knowing which piece to move.
The mechanical body of Edward is prepared for physical warfare as it's systems fluids allows his limbs to get a temporary boost in his speed, senses and reaction time to almost ten times the human brain, overclocking his own mind, Edward can focus where the boost would focus, in some cases he could run as fast as a speeding bullet for a up to a minute before overloading, in other cases, his senses would catch on the tiniest and faintest things, even his strength could be quadrupled until the breaking point of what his mechanical limbs could give him. The AI's body system also has a secondary ability where it can repair itself to certain extent via a limited supply of nanobots, while it isn't a game changer ability, the nanobots would be used more as a patch up to his injuries and keep him alive.
The other skill of the AI is of something he would describe as "Phase shift" in which Edward could become invulnerable to any kind of damage for 2 seconds, this is because the physical form of his becomes invisible with the same fluids and nanobots working together to render him go into a shift of speed, his entire body vibrates at an extreme speed, rendering him next to impossible to track. While it is an extremely powerful asset of his, Edward would be pushing his brain to its limit, taxing his processors and body, but if timed correctly and knowing how much "charges" he could use, the AI would be able to disappear and reappear for a quick fight.
