Name: Malachi Smith, Prophet of the Wasteland, Herald of the great and glorious Robot Muhammad
Gender: Male
Race: Augmented Human (essentially a cyborg)
Color:#BF8000
Description: To be a good Mechaprophet, one that people love and respect, one that changes minds and hearts, you must have a certain⦠charisma about you. Malachi Smith has this charisma. A well-defined, symmetrical, face, along with a square jaw and a chin that would impress most, he oozes the word âconfidence.â His dashing blue eyes and his wild walnut coloured hair, too, convey this sense of absolute knowing, absolute power. Heâs taller than most, but not in a foreboding, confronting way, but rather in a way that grabs your attention and thrusts your head at him, screaming âLISTEN TO THIS GUY, HE HAS AUTHORITY.â Most of his robotic implants are covered by his immaculate white robes, save for his eye, but underneath, you would be able to see many parts of Malachiâs body have been replaced by salvaged scrap and machinery, most notably an entire arm and leg. If you listened closely, and the prophet was not speaking in his deep, soothing voice, you would be able to hear the ticking of the amalgam of clockwork and machinery that consist of his insides.
Malachi has two interests, and only two interests, in mind. The propagation of his faith, and his continued existence in as well-off a position as possible (specifically within his religion). And he will stop at nothing, nothing, to achieve these goals, and although he is a relatively nice guy, the faith of Agumentalism has no moral teachings.
Weapons and Abilities: Smith posses a variety of powers due to his augmentations, including improved strength, agility, durability, and sex appeal. He also possesses a robotic eye that improvise his vision, along with other vision-based abilities. The Prophet carries a holy assault rifle and dagger at all times, has read the entire sacred book of âKrav Maga 101,â and practices the holy martial art regularly, in order to protect himself in the wasteland.
Biography: âOne must deny the flesh and feed the spirit,â the prophet, Malachi Smith proclaimed to his audience. He stood atop an old crate, the mountain of junk behind him framing his charismatic form. He spoke with passion, with authority, waving his hands in the air like a madman. He continued with his sermon.
âThese are the words the Great Prophet Fusion Reactor Jesus said to his followers!â
He pounded on the metal podium before him a few times for effect before continuing.
âThroughout the Holy text of Bible Technical Manual Four: Holy Human-Robot Enginnering, demonizes the flesh and its desires! Our Lord, Deus Ex Machina, makes it clear that our biological desires are of sin and death!â
He paused for a moment to let the words sink in, giving the audience a serious look.
After what felt like an appropriate pause, Malachi continued.
âHowever,â he said, âthis same book praises human Augmentation! The Metal Flesh, Cybogization, an entire section of this great book is devoted to the medical and mechanical techniques required to tear out the flesh and replace it with the machine! This is the principle tenement of our religion: Augmentation.â
Gesturing wildly, he went on, saying, âNow, many people ask the purpose of the robotic enhancements with which we are so devoted. And I reply to them with one answer, and one answer only: It is the way to Salvation.
âYou must shed your evil, biological selves, and become increasingly one with machines, to allow the soul our Lord has given each and every one of us to flourish. To become Augmented is to be part of God.
âNow, mind you. This is not an easy process. This is a tough operation. Many donât survive the augmentation process, either through malfunctioning equipment, infection, or rejection of the robotics. When you convert to Augmentalism, you may very well die before you ever reach one with God. But the risk⦠is worth the power.â
He smiled at the audience before he walked up to a rusted, burnt-out car, and lifting it with one hand like it was made of Styrofoam.
âFor we have Godâs favour upon us.â
His smile widened to a maddening degree as a large portion of the audience ran to the nearby conversion/operation tent, clamoring to gain this great power. He started to laugh as he suddenly disappeared, the car above his head gently floating down, revealing that the prop was likely made of Styrofoam.
