Appearance Details: Deuce is a mysterious young man who has short silver hair and hypnotic blue eyes which appear to be synthetic. He generally carries himself with the appearance and expression of one who is extremely devious and manipulative while also chillingly cheerful and optimistic. He is repeatedly described as a 'Wolf in sheeps clothing'. When masked as his alternate identity he wears a common black suit meant to represent the conglomerate of corporate companies. A black skin tight mask to conceal his face, white gloves, and a pair of white headphones tilted back with the engraving 'Bodies Upon The Gears' quoted on the back. On the left eye of his white mask it says 'Placebo' on it and on the bottom are the words 'You Are Free' written in a smiley face upon the mask. His suit, is also stylized with tiny holographic projectors which make it appear as if ones and zeros appear upon it.

His regular outfit consists of a gray hoody with black fur lining the edges of the hood or collar of his jacket depending on rather or not it has a hood. He also wears a cyan blue sleeveless shirt under his jacket with a white spot painted in the middle, wearing a black long sleeved shirt beneath the other two layers. He also is always seen with a pair of blue toned headphones hanging around his neck which is linked to his media player which he sometimes enjoys playing. These headphones can be turned inside out to be used as a portable stereo system.

It is also often observed that around his jacet is the symbol of some kind with the words 'Placebo' written upon the edges. To most, this word means nothing but to Deuce it is reference to the Placebo Effect. A phenomena where (In most cases) a sick patient would take sugar pills or flavored water with the belief it was medicine and thus make them feel better. The patients would often claimed to be cure by the false belief of the drug given to them. This is known as the Placebo Effect, and is a large part of his philosophy.

Current Emotional Status: Cheerful & Manipulative
Positive Emotional Keywords: Highly Intelligent - Humorous - Thoughtful - Philosophical - Lighthearted - Artistic
Negative Emotional Keywords: Machiavellian - Ruthless - Mocking - Bi-polar - Unpredictable
Personality Breakdown: Deuce appears to be a rather odd and quirky man. He is often considered a sadistic and psychopathic individual for a number of reasons. He exhibits the following traits of extreme intelligence, grandiosity, incapacity for remorse, arrogance, and an unhealthy degree of self-confidence. He has a sarcastic, cynical, albeit childish sense of humor. He has an incredible capability for changing his tone of voice and behavior several times in a single sentence for psychological warfare - ranging from serenity, humor, mockery, childish, laid-back, to violence and disdain. Because of this, Deuce is extremely difficult to read and anticipate, making him extremely unpredictable.
Despite being something most may deny, Deuce is aware of is inability to remain stable for long periods of time. Incapable of staying still for to long, his worst enemy is boredom. Willing to go to extreme lengths in order to keep himself amused and interested. He requires new stimuli to keep himself sane. Without problems to solve or something to stimulate it his mind will eventually tear itself apart.
On a lighter note however, Deuce possesses a high standard for principle and morality. He is painfully honest and never under any circumstances, lies, cheats, or steals. This can sometimes work in positive ways or negative depending on the circumstances. Being known to tell someone he wanted to kill them but changed his mind over little more than a whim. He is...dangerous and unpredictable in this sense, and because of this he often feels isolated and lonely. He attempts to drown his sorrow in light hearted fun and jokes, often pulling pranks or simply participating in activities to make himself seem more likable. Despite being prone to frightening and extremely violent mood swings at the drop of a hat.
Deuce is by no means simple and cannot be distinguished by those around him because of his many layers. His high rate of intelligence however is his main selling point. Enjoying long talks of philosophy and other subjects that others may find baffling or to complicated. In simple terms, he is a madman. A lovable, psychopathic madman. For years his goals have been to rip down major governments and obliterate major evils of the galaxy. A revolutionist and anarchist, Deuce took up the name Deus Ex Machina as a reference to a 'god out of the machine' , Appearing from seemingly nowhere and saving an impossible situation. However, this is only as his blue haired persona. When as a civillian he simply refers to himself as 'Cypher', a young slicer and amature artist just trying to get by.

___________________________________________________________________________________________


|| Strengths ||

Highly Intelligent: Deuce, as described above is a highly intelligent individual who displays the ability to pick apart most situation and analyze them. A brilliant strategist and talented manipulator of minds. This is especially displayed when interacting in philosophical discussion. He is also very artistic, being an artist, singer, dancer, and even poet. Very in tuned with the creative arts which is one of the reasons he founded the Colorless Movement.

An Enigma: His greatest strength is his ability to remain unknown, undetected, and untraceable at nearly all times. His true identity and alternate identities are basically two different beings who are both question marks. When as a common civilian he is simply Edison, small time information broker. But as Deus Ex, he is a revolutionist with a 'greater purpose'. Doing whatever he can to achieve his goals. Even petty crimes if necessary.



​|| Attributes ||


Highly Disrespectful: Deuce is very mocking and teasing of others, often taking it a bit far with his unhealthy sense of over confidence which more often than not gets him into mixes. Not afraid to threaten, or poke fun at even the most dangerous of individuals. He has no respect for any authority but his own and often goes out of his way to attempt to knock them down a few pegs with logic some may consider undeniable.

Cheerful & Lighthearted: Despite his violent mood swings and sometimes arrogant behavior, Deuce displays a sense of cheerful and politeness even in the most dire of circumstances. Looking death in the eye and often smiling while making off handed jokes or comments. One thing that almost never dies is his childish sense of humor.

Rebellious: He does not believe in the established order or social norm and is extremely rebellious towards those who may attempt to look down upon him or others.


|| Weaknesses ||


Physically Inferior: Deuce is no warrior, no martial artist, and no badass. At least in the cliche sense. If he comes into contact with a seasoned veteran or Sith Lord/Jedi Master his defeat would be intimate and he is fully aware of this. He knows there are those out there who will always be better and stronger than him, and thus his only hope is his ability to think himself out of situations or rely on his high pain tolerance when in a fight.

Self Confident: To a very unhealthy degree. So much so that he approaches even the most dire of situations as if they are merely casual conversation and thus often puts himself smack dack in the middle of things he'd be better off simply observing.

Lonely: Most beings are social creatures. And thus without companionship one may drive themselves to insanity. Deuce has crossed this line and finds himself to socially disconnected because of his line of work that he is incapable of forming meaningful relationships outside of acquaintances or simple contacts.

|| BIOGRAPHY: ||

Pre-Site-History

Deuce was born into a family of 4, growing close to his mother, Veloce, while his other sisters grew close to their father. Deuce’s parents were protesters against the rise of the new regime that was seeping into their homeplanet and attempting to take over. With his father providing funds and leadership to the Libertas movement, his parents brought their children to the public movements and protest. However, riots quickly broke out and thats where Veloce was crushed to death as others sought to escape. After his mother’s death Deuce's father became depressed due to guilt to the point of alcoholism.

Over the years growing up without a mother and with a neglective father, Deuce often shut himself off from 'familiy ties' and turned to the internet. Becoming rather tech savvy and grew to become a talented young engineer and slicer. Skills he utilizes to this very day.

At the age of 16, Deuce left his father and sisters through a window at night, to live on the streets. Gradually resorting to petty thievery to survive he began robbing homes, this gained the wrong sort of attantion as he was often caught by law enforcement and jailed rather often. Becoming a deliqent of sorts as a teenager.


Though deeply scarred by the loss of his family, Deuce has grown to become a self-assured, even cocky, young man. A thrill-seeker. One of the reasons he joined up with a gang of freerunners who traversed the rooftops of the city. This was his escape, and he runs more for the kick of it than for the money it pays. But deep down he knows that his current way of life can't last, and that one day he will be forced to take a real stand against the Conglomerate that was consuming his world.

As he grew older and began to witness the acts of evil commited by goverments and major factions, He despises the Conglomerate that controls his home and the lives of its inhabitants. Deuce's attitude towards the government is based in the events of his past, and caused her to rebel against it by starting a revolution of his own.


Deuce grew up in the slums and since he was homeless had trouble making money. Often offering his service as a slicer for quick pay just so he could keep a wifi connection and feed himself. He led a very uneventful life. Most of Deuce's time was spent online chatting with others and listening to exciting stories from the big city-planets that he would hear from his sisters and parents as a child. At some point during this time, Deuce and a few online friends decided to create a fake online group called 'The Colorless' as an elaborate prank to play on others in his homeworld. They passed out passwords to the site and made all kinds of outrageous claims about the gang's activities. Initially, the joke went as planned and people started joining the group despite it being a little more than a forum. However, the group continued to grow exponentially, even after they stopped giving the password. Furthermore, many people were using 'The Colorless' as a scapegoat to commit crimes around the city. Almost all the founders left the group as they feared it could be traced back to them while Deuce stayed to see what the outcome would be.

Deuce initially tried to convince others on the forums to put a stop to the criminal activities and do something worth while, but was mocked as a result. However, his ideas resonated with others and soon, many Colorless members were actively correcting the mistakes made by other members and even participated in community service activities. Because of this, Deuce continued to act as an admin of sorts for the site, occasionally making announcement but rarely giving orders as he believed The Colorless to be a group without restrictions as the original proposal said.

Howver, in recent years. With the tyrrany making its mark on the galaxy Deuce decided to take The Colorless a step further. Knowing as as simple kids and powerless citizens that they could not change the galaxy, he turned the group into a movement. Stating that the wars today are being fought with weapons of mass destruction that only bring despair upon us...still angry at the goverment regime that claimed the life of his mother and sisters he wanted to expose them. To free the minds of those who were brainwashed by social media and corporate companies. The Colorless, safe to say. Hopped on the train. Using artistic mediums to express their rebellion against the goverment through thought prevoking art, music, dancing, and free speaking. This rebellion, spilled past the confines on the internet and spilled into into galaxy on nearly every planet with a city. Members taking to the streets to state their freedoms and express themselves freely while also opening the eyes of the enslaved. This movement, became known as 'The Colorless Movement'. And since then it has only grown larger and more sophisticated. Even though no one knows who created the group, Deuce still acts are one of its guiders, organizing events and what not in the name of Colorless Revolution.

Combat Profile

Deuce before and after his turn towards terrorism is a genius at planning and improvising different (Normally criminal) activities. He is incredibly intelligent and calculating, always staying one step ahead of everyone else around him, including Jedi, Sith, the Galactic Alliance, and the police. His unique (if rather disturbed) worldview, as well as the complete mystery surrounding his identity also give him something of an edge. Having no connections, friends, former identities or family to be traced back to makes him very difficult to predict, track down, or even understand. He is also shown to be a fearless, and unpredictable fighter, once taking on several thugs at once with little more than a switchblade. This however is not to say he is unbeatable, he possesses no knowledge on actual fighting styles and normally goes off his Echani instinct to guide him through most battles.

His strengths lie in intelligence, deception, misdirection, and technicality. While his hand to hand combat is shabby at best, One explanation for his fighting skills might have to do with his psychotic personality: Deuce doesn't really fear physical damage to himself like a normal person would, and even when brutally injured, he would laugh at his own pain. His casual insensitivity to pain, and his extreme fearlessness, lets him take risks that a normal person wouldn't even attempt, and so most people just don't see his attacks coming, He normally prefers not to position himself in battles anyway since it is not his strong suit. He utilizes The Force in ways that protect him from such confrontation such as Illusions and mind tricks.

Despite this however. He is rather skilled with technology weapons such as blasters, vibrodaggers, and explosives. Having a high rate of accuracy and understanding of how explosives work, even capable of disarming them.

You may now post on this joke of a character designed specifically so i can write non-depressing and dark characters. I like to smile to dang it...

*rolls away*
 
I see this is a joke character, but still wonder if the name was a typo. 'Dues ex Machina' brings to mind two distinct issues(one due to his name that was struck from record, and I'm not sure if it was intentional) but I don't think you meant to imply that the character is either 'Shit from the Machine' (Thanks to the Deuce Edison name crossed out) or 'Money owed from the Machine.' Again just something that made me wonder.

Yes i know the phrase and what it means, the name though has it a little mixed up, Dues instead of Deus. Simple typo i understand, was wondering if it was an intentional thing due to this being a joke character.
