H.P.-T.O.A.L.P.E.-X (Human Prototype-Terraform Operative of All Lands Possessing Emotion is an advanced prototype of an empathetic cyborg. He is one of only 4 projects developed by nearly every nation. A large majority of his body is made up of hundreds of nano-machines, which self-replicate (for sustenance) by manipulating material they mine. The only organs he has are a brain, one eye, a partial endocrine system, and for some reason, a functional reproductive system (ask @epitaph200; he gave it to him).
These nanites can repair his brain if it becomes damaged, and only his brain. A completely unintended design flaw will cause him to lose his humanity should his brain become beyond repair, and replace it entirely with nano-cybernetics. The only way to truly kill him is to either disable or destroy every single nanite.
Apart from mining/terraforming, his main directive is to ensure neutrality among all of the nations, i.e. no one nation may become more powerful than the others.

⬆️ A single nanite, split in half during self-replication
Oh, and the “X” means Attempt 10.
The only way of destroying him seems interesting but not fitting. Only one nation should have this tech though. But I might be able to work with this.
One way, but there are multiple ways to achieve it: electricity, acid, throw him in the sun, convince him to commit suicide…
He isn’t associated with any one nation, the epitome of neutrality.
At least some nation or faction should have this tech. The average person would never be able to achieve stuff like that in the series.
The tech itself comes from nearly every nation.
Sure. Maybe that will work but the main idea I’m not sure about. It seem too futuristic but maybe.
I kinda agree, though we do have nanites nowadays, and are getting close to Artificial General Intelligence.

The Commune: HOLD MY FUTURISTIC BEER
New lore, Commune are alcoholics.
What commune are you talking about?

The robotic nation i made.
They’re an intergalactic force of robotic soldiers designed simply to destroy anything impure. Unfortunately, due to faulty programming, they only see themselves as truly pure and have gone on a maddened rampage devastating every world in their path in their barbaric genocide.
And now this world is in their sights
Link?
Sounds almost like Skynet.

Exept is Skynet was 9000 times scarier

Okay, lob him in the f**king sun then
technically kinda
that’s how they killed Cell, kinda

Mission was a success

It may repair his brain but memories are non-physical meaning he’d be fully repaired but without the knowledge to function properly and would bet promptly mowed down by continuous rains of machine gun fire and tank rounds
Each of the nanites is connected to his consciousness, and thus memories.

Exept no that’s not scientifically possible, this group is grounded to science and logic so you can’t pull any science fantasy on my ass.
The only way this sort of thing is possible it to connect it to a SINGLE thing but even then, you’d need something that can hold over an Octillion Terabites of storage or even more that isn’t the size of a house
Hundreds of nanites = house

I said single thing, not lots of tiny ones. It needs to be a central thing otherwise ALL of the nano whatevers would have to be in his brain at ALL times no matter what or he’d forget things constantly like how to breath or beat his heart
He has normal brain memory too, though.
I don’t think he needs to breathe anyway.
User Banned
Everything needs to breath.
Breathing supplys the brain with oxygen.
Oxygen lets the brain operate.
The brain can make the heart pump blood which is filled with oxygen which is from the lungs.
You get the point.
If lungs weren’t important for him, we wouldn’t have em’ either
But he’s a cyborg?
User Banned
He’s still part human which means he needs lungs, prosthetic ones if he needs em’.
Like i said, we have organs for a reason.
Aside from the gall bladder, that can f**k off
Ok fine, but the nanties do it for him.

All I’m saying is that your invincible super soldier is only invincible as long as his brain is protected. But if someone decides to laser his face, he’s dead and never coming back, remember it’d fry up those Nanites too like some shrimps on a barby (lol)
I’m trying to say he would come back, but as a robot.
User Banned
Then just make a f**king robot and mass produce it.
Obvious choice
Well sure, but that would serve a different purpose.

All I’m doing is pointing out the better options
Possible Balance Patch 1.0.0
1. There is a distinct-looking, command nanite. Destroying it a has 99% chance to kill (the other 1% is a hierarchical reroute, sacrificing and replacing it in the process). Targeting it is all but impossible without analysis equipment, as it moves throughout his “body,” hidden underneath regular nanites.
2. All of the nanites (including the command) are connected to one of 4 supercomputers, each located in a different quadrant of the planet he occupies (if applicable of course). Destroying these will not harm him whatsoever, but will severely reduce his intelligence to that of slightly above the average of a human. While functional, he has access to all recorded (human?, idk) knowledge. As impressive as that may sound, it only refers to “passive” memory instead of “active” memory. Active memory is what is actually used at any given moments, and is limited by the number of working nanites.
