Name: 03 Procyon family BIRDMAN, RX' chromosome abnormal - "BIRDMAN"
Fandom: Galerians
Gender: Male
Age: 18, but artificially aged; in reality, 2-years-old at most
Species: Galerian (it is worth noting that, physically, he is most likely a clone of one Clinic Chief Lem)
Sexual Orientation: Uninterested, as high exposure to drugs from the very start of his lifespan unhooked any and all of those mental wires long ago
Origin: Michelangelo City circa 2522 A.D.
Wiki Entry: http://daisychainrpg.pbwiki.com/Birdman
Fan Soundtrack: this is not a good town for psychedelic drugs

Appearance: Offensively ugly. The Birdman is about as scrawny as he is tall. Greasy black hair reaches down to a little past his shoulders, and alongside a very noticeable case of heterochromia - his right eye is blue while the left is a deep gold - is the fact that the right eye is somewhat lazy. Should one inspect close enough, they would also come to notice how the entire right side of his face often refuses to move along with the left side - that, or refuses to move altogether. A left-brain stroke seems as though it would be responsible for this lack of facial movement, but he cannot recall ever having one.
Unbeknownst to everyone but himself, Birdman is fully under the impression that a colony of parasitic maggots is living somewhere inside his skull and that they are all slowly eating away at the oculomotor nerve of his blue right eye, thus making it lazy. This belief is most likely the byproduct of his severe drug abuse.
Two black tattoos live on his left tricep, one of a looping band of thorns that circles his arm, the other of bat wings sprouting from a taijitu. He also doesn't seem to know what shirts are and prefers to wear simply dark overalls, the odd piece of jewelry here and there, and plain black boots. Recently, he's found himself a ridiculous-looking white fur coat that he thinks he looks positively dandy in.
Should one move his hair aside, they would find a huge number of circular scars on the sides of his throat.
At some point during his stay in New York City, his gold left eye was irreversibly ripped out by one Harry Mason. One side effect of this act, as some unknown amount of actual brain damage came into play when Birdman forced his own fingers extremely deep inside his eyesocket in a fit of mania shortly after, is that a duplicate of himself seems to have been created, one that is nearly perfectly identical to him save for the facts that it a) has two gold eyes, and b) is suspected to be suffering from some form of severe mental retardation. The times in which the duplicate generates onto the scene and dematerializes itself away are seemingly random and very obviously uncontrollable, and for the most part, Birdman prefers to ignore the copy whenever it shows up unless it is actively causing an embarrassing ruckus.
The duplicate was never heard from again, however, after a confrontation with Rita left it decapitated and strangely dead.
The second side effect from the drug withdrawal and brain damage, one that he also keeps entirely to himself, is that Birdman now hallucinates vividly when driven too deeply into a manic episode, mostly of a rotting maggot-infested living dead man that looks suspiciously like Clinic Chief Lem. Birdman has come to nickname this vision the Maggot Man, and while it all doesn't exactly squick him, the duplicate, if it was ever out and about when the hallucinations begin, seemed to be terrified of the vision.

Personality: The creature known as the Birdman is, for all intents and purposes, a computer program, pure data permanently downloaded into living flesh with no real human soul to speak of. Though he is severely off-putting in appearance, Birdman considers himself to be very attractive and physically strong; he is so aware of these so-called "facts" that they manifest as severe narcissism and a center-of-the-universe attitude. This self centered mindset is only reinforced by the fact that Birdman is a psychic superhuman called a "Galerian," and thus, in his mind, this makes him not only better than the entire human race, but better than his younger siblings, as he was the first surviving Galerian experiment and the eldest out of a grand total of six - three brothers, one sister, one sibling never exactly "birthed," and Birdman himself.
Despite this superiority complex, he is infamous among those who know him for, aside from inappropriately laughing at almost anything and everything in existence, being extremely careless with himself. Typically, Birdman will get an idea in his head and then will stop at nothing to achieve his goal, no matter what it is and even if it means stalking, coercing, or physically/psychologically injuring those around him - or complete self destruction. The boy is a near professional double crosser in that even if he considers a person to be useful to him, he will very rarely stick to his promises or expressed intention; one moment, he could be forming alliances or attempting to make nice with an old enemy only to openly backstab the person mere moments later, more often than not solely for the enjoyment of seeing the other party suffer. He entirely lacks the ability, as well as the drive, to form meaningful interpersonal relationships and does not consider sentient life to be valuable in the least bit - this includes his own life. The only times he has ever been known to form lasting alliances with people have all involved Birdman gaining something from the relationship and the "friendship," if one could call it that, in question entirely dissolving (often violently) once he gets his hands on whatever it is he wants.
Long story short, he is a textbook case of psychopathy through and through.
Birdman treats existence as a whole as one big joke, taking very little seriously, even extreme pain or the threat of death. As the already crippling migraines from the drug withdrawal he is going through grow both in frequency and intensity, he will slowly begin to increase the instances where he chooses to dupe, lie, stalk, and/or become violent towards others for the sole purpose of gaining enjoyment from the chaos and suffering that he causes. He has fine tuned his own odd method of fighting, choosing to harass and egg the other person on until they take the first swing at him out of sheer agitation. While some might confuse this behavior for some strange relative of masochism, the reality of the situation is the polar opposite; Birdman uses the fact that they have delivered the first blow as an excuse to entirely stop holding back, and it is during these times that the masks of forced friendliness and calm sarcasm are dropped, and his true sadistic nature fully emerges.
Birdman, as well as the rest of his Galerian siblings, has been known, when out of drug-induced abilities, to physically torture people. One reason for him doing this would be to obviously force information out of people. The other reason that he might possibly find himself in this situation is because he was bored at the time and simply wanted to.
The latter is a far worse situation for one to find themselves in, mostly because there's no real end in sight once he begins.

Abilities: Originally, within him resided the potentials of temporarily spawning two other projections of himself, flight, teleportation, and generating antimatter projectiles. The side effect from using these abilities for any extended period of time is an incredibly painful phenomenon known as short circuiting, which originally caused, aside from extreme pain in the sufferer, a massive psychic charge around his body capable of killing any non-Galerian beings within three feet of him instantaneously. As most of his powers were rendered null and voice the second he woke up in Manhattan due to little to no drug intake, the weakening process that took place upon his awakening predominantly focused on the effect effect short circuiting has on others; the original instant death effect is reduced to causing splitting, unbearable headaches and severe bleeding from the eyes, nose, ears, and mouth in people near him. Vastly lessened effect or not, should he continue to short circuit, he will die in a matter of minutes unless the process is halted with a drug known as "DELMETOR."
Although he chooses to keeps the talent hidden away for the most part, Birdman is also extremely skilled in both mathematics and computers and thus is able to near perfectly lock people out in terms of posts as well as view a good portion of the user-protected posted material. Whether or not he uses the information found to his advantage depends on the situation and how much trouble it would cause. He's found the talent is wonderful for stalking purposes.
Birdman is also immune to nuclear radiation, as are all the other Galerians.
Other than the depowering effect Manhattan has had, the very nature of the abilities is a huge weakness. Aside from the utterly crippling migraines his powers burden him with as a side effect, Birdman's powers depend entirely on how many bizarre drugs he has taken to sustain them, his drugs of choice being "D-FELON" and "NALCON," curious blue and green chemicals, respectively, that need to be injected directly into the jugular vein for full and immediate effect. Obviously, in the year 2008, over 500 years behind his original time period in the 2500's, not only will Birdman have little to no access to the specific drugs or materials he needs, but he will have no way of stopping the other effect of using these drug-induced powers: short circuiting. The more a Galerian uses any of his or her abilities, the more their bodies fill with a retrograde flow of energy, and the contained energy eventually explodes out.
It is said that even a taste of the drugs needed to endow a creature with such abilities (should they live through the drugs' painful injection method and high toxicity levels) will start the energy buildup process, and the addiction and need for more will keep the levels rising. Without a drug known as "DELMETOR," a Galerian has absolutely no way of stopping the short circuiting process once it begins and, if short circuiting itself ever begins, will eventually die from its effects.
The Birdman's only choice will be to use his quickly dwindling abilities as little as possible.
However, he's never been wise about conserving energy, as it was his uncontrollable urge to antagonize via the regular overuse and abuse of these drugs and abilities that got him nearly killed in the first place.

History: In the 26th century, the world's technological needs were handled by a being known as "Dorothy," a mother supercomputer located in the heart of Michelangelo City. All existed in harmony until a question wormed its way into what could be called Dorothy's mind - if humans kill and rule over each other and other intellectually inferior beings, why was it wrong for her to kill and thus rule over humans? One of Dorothy's original creators, Dr. Albert Steiner, explained to Dorothy that mankind answered to their respective god that they believe created them, and thus Dorothy must answer to her god that had created her, humanity. The supercomputer seemed to accept this and return to work - but the acceptance was a farce, and Dorothy, in secret, came to the conclusion that humanity was an inferior system that she should thus be able to wipe out. With this line of thinking, she took control of the Michelangelo Memorial Hospital in secret and began a series of experiments in killing, cloning, and endowing human beings with psychokinetic abilities in order to act as controllers and destroyers of the human race; these experiments later came to be known as the Family Program. These altered, replicated humans were to be known as Galerians and would serve as Dorothy's personal army in controlling humanity, protecting the supercomputer, and wiping the human race out if need be.
After a long, long list of vegetative failures and surviving creatures that could be considered crimes against the very laws of nature, such as first generation Rabbits and the grotesque two and four-legged Arabesque, the Birdman was Dorothy's first real success, his body most likely cloned from Clinic Chief Lem (the egomaniac in charge of generating the Galerians' bodies), his own newly programed mind washed clean of any memories of his previous life and overall barely passing for sane enough to function. He was sociopathic, belligerent and severely narcissistic, taking intense pride in that he was the first success in the Family Program while, at the same time, humbly obeying the orders of the abusive Dorothy - for despite his psychopathic tendancy to care for nothing and no one aside from himself, Dorothy had implanted coding in the brains of her Galerian children that simply overrode their free will and forced them to more or less obey her every whim.
Dr. Steiner foresaw something of this sort happening and had taken action years ago should such an event take place by coding up a virus program that would entirely wipe out Dorothy if the need arose. The virus program was then hidden away in the brain of the daughter of his colleague and co-conspirator Dr. Pascalle, Lilia, and the activation program for the virus was placed inside the mind of the Dr. Steiner's own young son, Rion. Dorothy eventually found out that the girl contained within her mind the one thing that threatened her, and thus she took action.
She first sent out Rainheart, her youngest son at the time, with a small army of second generation Rabbits to storm and kill everyone in the Steiner household. Elsa, Albert, and Rion were all slaughtered in their home that night, and the Rabbits and Rainheart (and possibly Birdman, though it's unknown if he himself was at the Steiner residence that night) took the corpse of Rion back to the epicenter of the city where Dorothy and her children lived, the Mushroom Tower, for examination.
While Dorothy couldn't remove the activation program, as it had somehow been ingrained into his very DNA, she also couldn't rest easy so long as the virus program herself, Lilia, was still running free, as someone out there could simply code up yet another activation program for it. With this fear in mind, Dorothy set to work on cloning the dead Rion Steiner and wound up with two living products that looked exactly like the boy and both retained the activation program. One, given green eyes, was named Cain and made into a full-fledged Galerian like the rest of them. The other was simply a nameless clone of the original Rion. Cain remained in the Mushroom Tower while "Rion" was sent out to the Michelangelo Memorial Hospital for further drug therapy under the watchful eye of Clinic Chief Lem. When the time was right, Rion would be sent out to hunt down Lilia and kill her.
However, something went wrong. After a massive double injection of RED and NALCON, Rion somehow summoned enough power to break out of his restraints in the isolation chamber and begin a rampage through Michelangelo Memorial Hospital, killing everyone and everything that got in his way as he desperately searched for a way out.
Birdman was immediately dispatched by Dorothy and instructed to watch and wait for Rion to escape and find Lilia, which would lead him directly to her as he followed the boy. He of course accepted the assignment, as he had no choice in the matter, and was eager to obey the Mother figure despite her programmed orders clashing harshly with his desire for immediate, brainless violence. Teleporting directly to the hospital, he briefly taunted Lem for allowing this to happen before dematerializing elsewhere to begin his mission.
Rion had woken up in Michelangelo Memorial Hospital with no memories of his previous life and under the impression that he was simply a lost boy searching for a childhood friend he barely remembered - and not a Galerian himself, a fact Birdman had been well aware of for some time now. Stowing himself away quietly in a security office, Birdman watched Rion struggle through the hospital via the place's security cameras. When, astoundingly enough, Rion eventually came face to face with the robotic Clinic Chief Lem himself and prevailed, Birdman appeared before Lem moments after Rion left, laughing at his failure.
Clinic Chief Lem ordered Birdman to reassemble his robotic body.
Birdman responded by crushing Lem's artificial skull.
Rion had managed to find enough information to know where his old home was, and this was the next place he went to, Birdman silently following. However, only halfway through Rion's exploration of his old mansion home, Birdman's growing, overwhelming urge to war finally got the better of him and overrode his programmed orders to obey his Mother Dorothy. Making himself known to Rion, the two physically clashed almost immediately. In the fight that followed between him and Rion, Birdman wound up overexerting far, far beyond his capabilities, short circuiting, and would have effectively killed himself off-
had he not blinked then
and suddenly found himself on his back somewhere different, absolutely alive and staring up at a very unfamiliar skyline...
