Personality: Afano's charming personality comes from his lack of personaility. While once having extremely human qualities (like skin and organs) he has been left turned off for so long he is simply just a robot now. His personality consists of beeps in various tones. While he experiences emotions he isn't adept at handling or conveying them.
Interests: Discovery of the world. Completing tasks. Data. His past.
Skills: Afano in its current form is a small floating orb. It has retractable arm-esque apendages for grabbing and button pressing. Afano's max speed is 20mph and can fly up to 50ft in the air. He can access the internet through his built in wifi and print information from himself to be consumed by others in physical form. He can also send out e-mails and messages to PDA's in real-time.
Abilities/Powers: Afano is a robot who can do robot things. High-speed internet access. Flying. Grabbing. Floating. Printing. Beeping. Infra-red vision. Spinning. Low Voltage Shocks. Falling. There are many things this robot cannot do. But he can do some things most support roles wish they could.
History: The tale of Afano is the opposite of Pinnochio. Instead of a wooden puppet becoming a boy this tale is about an insane Samoan becoming a cyborg ninja.
It all began in Chula Vista. After a confrontation with his father Afano enrolled in the Chula Vista Collective where the MAPP project initially began. He had his qualms with the MAPP Project and Hyperion shutting down his school and soon after enrolled in the emerging Paradigm Academy. There he gained the power for his skin to copy the material of any touched object. Afano however was corrupt and sought more and more power. Upon the suggestion of Agent Ari Karamsov, Afano drank a vial of an experimental copy of the MAPP serum. This thrust his power into extreme over-activity.
His new "power" was crippling to Afano. The only solution he found was to literally weld objects onto his body to stop the process. While successful Afano was now a monster with metal skin and a circular saw hand. This body of Afano was soon destroyed. His second body was created by Kazuya, an alumni of Paradigm Academy. Afano was given a scary massive body with spider legs, chainsaw arm, and skullface. That body too was dismantled.
Afano's third body was created by the U.S. Military by General Thorne. Afano had become a cyborg ninja fighting against Paradigm Academy in the days before the unveiling of Legion. Ultimatly Afano rose against the U.S. Military and helped in the defeat of Legion with the Paradigm refugees. Upon Paradigms re-creation Afano re-joined the academy under a new body the possessed the power of flight and microwave head. This body too was also destroyed and replaced with a wheeled model with giant fists.
Through all his adventures Afano gained an alarming amount of information regarding the U.S. Military, Paradigm Academy, Hyperion, and an Illuminati-esque group controlling things from the shadows. With a now child-like demeanor this information was hard to cope with. Afano had much to deal with internally. Eventually Afano stopped appearing around Paradigm Academy. Occasionally people would report sites of him around various parts of the campus, and even on various campuses.
Afano was a forgotten memory to some. But now it's Afano who has forgot near everything about himself, Paradigm, and the world. He's rebooted and he's awake. Now someone just needs to help him out of his box in the basement.
