OOC Information
Technic Flame, the name taken from the two projects added to him, a original character, I hope, that was created solely for City of Heroes.
Affiliations
Technic Flame is a Field Officer of The Zenvious Foundation
Origin
Allen was born on June 6 1980, in Providence, RI, child of Madeline Lane and Jason Lane. His childhood was very similar to his father’s in his studies. Constantly tinkering and working, Allen was a very intelligent youth.
The Summary
Technic is an andriod sent to kill Doctor Allen and his partner. It was ordered to steal their project, Project: Flame. Technic's plan was however foiled by Allen's partner and the robot was disabled. Allen was left in critical condition and his life was waning due to a large explosion inside the laboratory. His partner did his best, and modified Technic's support systems in order to sustain the waning life of Allen. This succeeded and Allen was able to stay alive inside the suit. His partner was later assassinated by an unknown assailant and Allen was left all alone. Allern then added Project Fame to his own mechanical body in hopes to complete his and his partner's work. He renamed himself Technic Flame.
Allen's father and mother both elderly in age were also killed by the same assailant and their house raided and trashed. His father was a nautical engineer in his time creating devices for use in underwater situations. Allen's mother was a social worker who spoke to the mentally and terminallly ill. Allen was not as close to his parents as he was tro some of his freinds.
Allen had three extremely close freinds throughout his life. The first was a parapeligic. His name was Peter, whon he met at a hospital while he was in for TB. Allen had to have a lung removed. They both grew fond of one another and talked all the time while they were in the hospital. Peter suffered from a deadly heart attack and did not survive the consequences. His second freind was a girl who was a foriegn exchange student from Austria and spoke broken english. Her name was Ivana and they got together almost to the point of love, but when all seemed well Ivana was called back to her home and Allen has not seen her since.
Allen at this point takes a liking to humaniod forms of humans, Robots, androids, Lizardmen/women, catmen/woman.
Allen has two consciences, his human self and Technic. Allen while using project Flame cannot stay conscience because of the amount it energy it takes to sustain the two systems. Technic for the time being will always be active during the use of Project Flame. Allen can , however speak little inputs while inactive and can speak through the SG chat.
Lost Memories and a Found Future
A normal day, in the middle of a system analysis.
Technic and I were going through his systems seeing if we could find any sort of information about him or about how he works. I had already found a new program that I believed was hidden and created before Technic had been sent to kill me. The mastering flame program it was called or MFP. It was a huge key to ultimately creating living and moving flame embodiments in the form of small yet ferocious imps.
I was going through the system again and came by a hidden video embedded in his memory. Upon opening it I saw images of a planet then the image flashed and I saw what appeared to be steel canyon, but it seemed different more sophisticated. The image flashed again I saw two men, one on either side of me , I was lying down on a table. The image flashed and I viewed a room. A man was sitting at the table in front of me and he was reading a newspaper the date on it read June 10 , 2124. The image flashed and I was at a portal room and there was a man typing something into the console on my right, I took a step forward. Then the memory stopped and I awoke from my state of in animation. I tried thinking about what I saw. They must have been images from the future some of Technic’s memories. They seemed incomplete though, I started to analyze each individual memory.
First the planet memory, upon further time spent I was able to extend the length of this image. Not only did I see a planet but it was covered with clouds. The image rotated and I could see a small star that was white. The vision turned back to the planet and I could see a bare spot in the clouds revealing the barren wasteland underneath.
I reviewed the Steel Canyon image. I saw a futuristic city and building that have expanded past our years. The university was no longer there and it was replaced with a similar looking building that had a sign reading: Technical. The memory ended there.
Next was the memory of the room. Upon further investigation I saw the room around me and it was a lab and I could see many different instruments many of which I was not familiar with. What truly intrigued me was a vault that I saw, I wonder what was behind it.
Next was the man reading the newspaper. I analyzed the memory…. I was standing at a door. I saw many monitor screens with images of hallways and rooms. The man sitting at the table seemed young . He put down the paper and walked to the console. He looked for a minute and then turned to me saying, “Technic please give our good Doctor Langers a visit he seems to be shirking from his job.” I didn’t know what to say but the words came out automatically, “Positive.” The memory ended there.
Last was the portal room, I stood there and took a step forward. The man at the computer to the right of me said, “You know what to do right?” All I said was, “Positive.”
“And make sure you come back you are almost due on a new core. “
“Positive.”
“Finally make sure to bring Project flame back in one piece do not equip it. We will go through that procedure when you get back.” He paused and says, “ Oh and good luck.”
“Positive.” And I stepped into the portal.
That was it as far as the memories went, I was somewhat relieved , but it opened a whole new set of questions. Why did this organization want to kill me? Why did they need Project Flame? What was their purpose? Their goal? I decided to think about it later.
The next day…..
I was in the base about to use the base teleported for some crime fighting in Talos Island. Technic unit all of a sudden said something, “receiving information from command.”
An image was placed before me I saw a report in front of me. It read:
Technic Unit One, please report to Technical Industries for maintenance and processing.
We have lost contact with you and will need to establish communications.
Please make sure all systems are functioning.
Please avoid contact with other Technic units if possible.
(Coordinates of Technical’s location is given here. )
-El presidente
I was confused yet again. How could I have gotten this, and how recent is this?
I decided to go to Ourobouros seeing that this was a deal with time. They told me they could send me to that time if I wanted to go there, but warned me of the dangers….. I was well aware of them.
I stepped into the portal….
A Story Unfolding.
I appeared in steel canyon I looked around and saw a person, “ excuse me what is today’s date? “ “August 16th the person said.” I replied, “ No I mean what year?” The man gave me a questioning look but said, “2134” He walked away. I thought to myself that this must be the right place, and headed to the coordinates. I saw the same building in my vision with the large sign that said Technical. I walked inside the building and there was another sign explaining the acronym. Technical Electronics composition Harmonizing Natural Intensifying Capacities Allowing Life. I was intrigued , but that was not my mission, I was here to find out some information. I walked up to a desk and a voice automatically said, “Unit One present. Please report to the President’s office.” I walked up the stairs and to the right almost automatically. I stepped in to a small room. Two men were on either side when I entered and a man stood at the console in front of me, somehow this was all familiar. Then I remembered this was the room in Technic’s memory.
The man at the console said, “Sit down Dr. Lane. He knew who I was, I was shocked, but did not show it. I sat. He spoke, “ Well, I knew you’d show up eventually, after we lost contact with Technic, I knew something had gone wrong , so. What to do, what to do. “ I stood up and prepared to use my new program, but the two men behind grabbed me suddenly, anticipating my movement. He chuckled, “Haha don’t try anything here Doctor or I cannot guarantee what will happen to you. “ “You must be the president,” I replied. “ Well, you guessed right., you get a prize.” He nodded to the men, “ Take him to the holding chamber we will have to examine what has happened to our Technic.
The President is in the control room he speaks, “ Make sure our good Doctor is comfortable and , please take care of any unauthorized personnel.”
He presses a button on the console. “Assassin unit please respond.”
“This is Colm go ahead command.”
“ Assassin unit stand by, we have our target.”
“ Yes sir.”
He presses another button. “Scout unit com in.”
“ This is Scouting unit awaiting orders.”
“ Continue your work, we don’t want anyone suspecting.”
“ Ok.”
He presses another button, “Wanderer come in.”
“ What is your desire?”
“ I need you to establish communications with harvester so please come back to this time period.”
“ Alright.”
There’s a knock at the door. The president says, “Come in.”
A scientist walks in the file and says, “ Sir the newest report on the Rindell project.”
The president picks up the file and opens it. He smiles and says, “Good work.”
The scientist leaves and closes the door. The president speaks, “Everything is going as planned. Excellent.”
He walks to the table and picks up a newspaper, he then begins to read.”
Inside a lab Technic is laying down on a table, there is a scientist at a console and Technic is being scanned. The two men from before who took him there are standing at either side.
One of the guards looks over ands says, “Why doesn’t he just get up? I mean it’s not like we did anything too rough.” He winks to his colleague.
The scientist responded , “ I have put him in the semiconscious state, he cannot do anything while in this state.”
A silence as the scan continues.
One of them says, “ So, why are we keeping the guy alive anyway, shouldn’t we just kill him?”
The scientist replies, “ Well we aren’t really keeping him alive, the suit is and….” He looks to Technic, “ He’s not going to last much longer.”
“Why not?” the other one asks.
“His power core is almost depleted and without the suit the good doctor cannot survive.”
The scans complete and the scientist turns to the two men, “ Take him back to the holding area, you know what to do.”
The rescue team and the waning power source
The people of the Zenvious foundation learning where Technic had went, organized a team of a select few who were present to rescue the Doctor. As they entered they discovered the location of Technic as the group overheard a conversation from the President. The president was aware of their presence and sprung a trap sending them to the holding area of Technical ind. It was there that they met the two elite guards of Technical. They fought many battles barely escaping with the Doctor. They did soon realize with the help of Technic (the robot) that the suit and its life support systems were running out of power. Without the suit running Allen would die.
They had to raid Technical again, to find a new power source to resupply Technic. They again fought the guards again with an easier time but barely escaped. The technology department of the Zenvious Foundation all came together to replace the core within the suit. It was a success and with their help Allen was able to unlock the full potential of his suit.
