Name:           Mercator

Author:         M. Slager

Author's Email: mpslager@csclub.uwaterloo.ca

AKA:            Mercator The Equator

Affiliation:    Amichanian

Appearance:     Mercator The Equator (it's a pun.  Trust me) is 6 feet 1.78394
		inches tall, and of undisclosed wait (although some might say 
		somewhat over 200lbs).  His face is adorned with sparkling blue 
		eyes, topped off with light brown hair.  Despite wearing contact 
		lenses, his eyesight is still sufficiently flawed that he has a 
		hard time making out details of items at a distance.  (He once 
		bought an Ami-chan doll at the local anime-midnight-madness sale, 
		only to return home and discover that he was holding a breadstick 
		covered in a blueish mold...)  His attire usually consists of 
		nothing more than bluejeans and a t-shirt; he has no sense of 
		fashion.  Oh yeah, did I mention the neural computer interface
                in the side of his skull?

Personality:    Mercator is a highly proficient mathematician, with strong
		interests in the field of Computer Science.  Often called a 
		technocrat, he often holds unlike personalities in disdain or 
		contempt. Unfortunately, he has virtually no short term memory, 
		and his "undivided attention" is usually a result of him trying 
		to remember who the heck you are anyways. He believes that all 
		things in the universe are interconnected, socially, 
		mathematically, and politically.  Despite all this, he can 
		easily get along with many people, and is an excellent public 
		speaker and debater. All of this is of course a ploy to cover 
		his true allegiance to a super secret conspiracy so devious that 
		if you knew what it was it would send shivers down your spine.
		Unfortunately he seems to have forgotten some of the details of 
		this conspiracy:  Namely all of them.  But he's certain the 
		conspiracy is devious, as all such conspiracies are, so it only
		logically follows....   His neural implant in the side of his
		head is a result of his superb ability to integrate and interoperate
		with all devices of a computing nature.  Unfortunately, his 
		attempts to get the interface standardised failed, and he is 
		limited to only interfacing with systems using some form of Linux.  
		If he accidentally interfaces with a certain limited GUI OS (you 
		know which one I mean...), the result is unpredictable.

Objectives:     He had one, but he forgot what it was.

Weapons/Powers: [Un]fortunately, his personality is often more than enough to
		get him into, and in rare occasions out of, trouble.  He used to 
		have a REALLY cool weapon.  One with all the bells and whistles.  
		But he forgot where he put it.  Occasionally he'll stumble across 
		it, but generally forgets how to use it, resulting in even more 
		trouble. 

Allies:         He remembers an old cape wearing acquaintance.  But the details
		are sketchy.

Enemies:        Chibi, and all related persons thereof.  The name itself sends
		shivers down his spine, and the thought of meeting her is enough 
		to send him running away in terror.  Of coures, anyone not a 
		supporter of Ami too.

Other Notes:    He likes Ami, but can't quite remember why.  He doesn't care
		though, since it must have been a VERY important reason, otherwise 
		he would never have signed up in the first place, right?  Thus he 
		will fight to the near-death (I didn't say he was an all-out sort 
		of guy :) ) to defend her faith.  Besides,  she looks like the sort 
		that likes Math...
