Julian Brown was always the object of ridicule.  From birth it seemed like the cards were always stacked against him.  Born out of wedlock, Julian was constantly berated as his mother blamed him for the disappearance of his father.  Every day he heard harsh words from the one person in the world that should have been there for him.  Growing up being called a "mistake" had a very negative impact on the youth.  He became a walking emotional doormat for people to wipe their feet upon.  Julian's only refuge was the library.  There people weren't allowed to talk, and if afforded him some much needed peace and quiet.  It was in a library that the young boy learned of his passion for building things.  He had always been a quick learner, and by the time he was 9 he was reading books written by Albert Einstein and Nikoli Tessla.  These things fascinated him and in many cases he tried to recreate the experiments of these geniuses.  His inventions took precedence over almost all things.  He ditched school frequently and hardly came home, instead he went to his ramshackle "lab" he had constructed in a condemned building on the outskirts of town.  He continued this way for several weeks, and then one day, he just stopped going home altogether.

At first, the loneliness didn't bother Julian.  He was content to read his books, and scrounge for food and parts when necessary. But the weeks turned into months and before long, the cold bite of winter set in.  With little in the way of communicating with the outside world, he decided to make him a friend.  By age 11, he put the finishing touches on his Personally Engineered Robotic Combat Invention; or PERCI for short.  The robot had a limited comprehension capability, but he could understand things equivalent to that of a 6 year old average child.  They have since then become best of friends.

PERCI

Appearance:

Height: 6'0"
Weight: 850 lbs

Distinguishing features:          PERCI was built using parts scrounged from industrial dumps, and military swap meets.  He is bipedal and looks very much like a humanoid.  His egg shaped head has protective coverings over his "eye sockets" that prevent his fiver optic eyes from being harmed directly.  Currently his only abilities include flight from low grade rockets attacked to his thighs and back, and he can fire an energy weapon of Julian's own design; it is simply a rechargeable high output solar battery that focuses the  rays gathered though a series of magnifying glasses into a concentrated ray.  It has a limit of 5 shots before draining the battery entirely.  This battery is separate from PERCI's own solar cell, which is housed in his cranial cavity.
