- The Character -

Name: Mikron O’Jeneus
Alias: Gizmo
Species: Midget Human
Age: 13 ^1/2
Gender: Male

Team Affiliation: Previously H.I.V.E
Member Group: Anti-Hero
Canon: Yes

Appearance: With a light complexion, it's easy to tell he's your average "probably staying indoors to tinker around with experiments" kinda guy. Not to mention that emerald, turtle neck body suit of his outfitted with a great deal of tech so that he can pull mechanical tricks up his sleeves. His visible tech is not only that box on his chest of silver and lime colored buttons, but a lovely back pack which contains more than enough tricks in its little shell, including his spider-like claws used to move around faster as well as kick some serious hero butt in combat. He's not tall at all, very short to be frank since he could have a glaring contest with knees without any problems what-so-ever. There's also a controller connected to his back pack which seem to rest neatly beneath the suit's gadget. Another thing about his body suit is that there's two pockets on each shoulder as well. When looking down at this chrome dome boy wearing a pair of silver goggles with green tinted lenses, his eyes have no pigment and are completely ivory circled by dark rings around his eyes with kinda thick, black eye brows. Being small, it has a tendency to give him the upper hand seeing that he can fit in smaller spaces and conceal himself within shadows or corners only a child could fit in!

Another notable thing about his suit is that he has silver rectangle plates upon the top of his hands and for the soles of his shoes as well. Some may even choose to call his body suit a `technological suit of armor` which is the best way to sum it all up in a nut shell. He's also got a bit of a flat nose. Weight-wise, he's not very heavy due to his short height and being about averagely healthy being able to move around and about properly.

Personality: If one were to slam it into a giant nutshell, it'd be easy enough to call him a `hot tempered smart kid with a mouth full of humorous, candy coated profanities that can be a great team player`. However, it's best to just dissect him to understand how he works due to the complexity of Gizmo himself. Frequently displaying his smug `I can do this easily, all you heroes are pushovers!` attitude, he has a great deal of confidence in his abilities, even when he's lost. When this boy has information, he enjoys rubbing it in with a `well! wouldn't yooou like to know?` approach and can't help but call names while he's at it. In fact, even when he's most certainly hit rock bottom and under a pile of rubble, he'll grumble and complain out loud and at times just under his breath. Not really being the sort to keep in cruelty, this bald kid is hardly nice to anyone. However, he is very loyal to his superiors and takes orders from them.

When intimidated, it's almost guaranteed that he'll freak out a bit and possibly yelp or panic a bit since losing isn't something he's quite used to...y'know...when he's cornered like a little mouse. Sure, he enjoys picking on people, especially ones bigger than him, but when they start to get under his skin...Gizmo get's upset and starts pulling out the name calling and flailing in his defense. Now...even though he's like a ticking time bomb and can be set off easily in a flurry of irritation and anger, there are somethings that he finds fragments of happiness in...aside from name calling and laughing at losers. For example, when he's creating new tech and having a little time to himself. As frustrated as he can get in a grocery line since even villains go shopping at times, it's still something he likes since it's a small break from stupidity. Unless of course the cashier is taking more than a few minutes to do their job, then he yells at them to hurry up. Not to mention Gizmo does love to repair things, it's almost as much of a hobby as it is making new things and hacking others for him.

Most of the time, he's not the `RANDOM HAVOC TIIIIIME!` sort and does have his moments of being normal. Whenever he's seen raising hell around any town, chances are it's an order from a superior...or he's `having fun`. There's no doubt that he can in fact mind his own business, but there's also no doubting that he isn't fond of heroes. Odd thing is that even though he's not ANY heroes fan, he will listen to them. Doesn't mean he'll comply but he'll give them a bit of attention...and then probably kick some goody two shoes butt. Clearly, he's very witty and normally pretty quick to have a verbal combat of some sort. It's painstakingly obvious but Gizmo is very intelligent and just because he's young doesn't mean it's wise to shrug him off as `no threat`.

Being able to devise traps and schemes, get aways and robotic engineering ideas makes him very formidable. Even when he was working with Jinx and Mammoth, it was displayed that he was more than capable of leading despite his temper tantrums. Ah yes, Gizmo also seems to have a bit of an infatuation with Jinx even though she turned coat. So in a way, one could even go so far as to say that she's a bit of his `soft spot` next to mechanical things seeing that he'll get pretty jealous if she's swooning over someone and hop into a foul mood. Also being a bit of a prankster, he likes to play jokes on people every now and then. Gizmo even seems to have a way of having that `something's not right here` vibe at times and may even get suspicious. One of the people who have intimidated him the absolute most is none other than Brother Blood.

Strengths and Weaknesses: Gizmo's strengths HEAVILY reside in the technological and mechanical field. When it comes to that, only a rare few can rival he and his smarts. Being a tactician is one of his strengths as well, a good learner despite being a sore loser most of the time. As for weaknesses, he's very much human and without his tech, Gizmo is just another intelligently gifted child. In other words, he's very vulnerable to attacks and doesn't have ANY special attribute aside from being talented in robotic creation & techs. Even though he can take a punch pretty well, it hurts him much more than most of the people he even dares to go up against despite his suit's help. Being small does have its advantages, HOWEVER! The midget kiddo has short reach and not so good for hand to hand combat since he can be held in place with little to no problem if executed properly.

History: Showing signs of above average intelligence at a young age, building intricate things out of building blocks and able to catching onto the English language faster than his peers. Advancing bit by bit through grades, his quick and excellent achievements were acknowledged by H.A.E.Y.P, the HIVE Academy for Extraordinary Young People, when his science project was the beta edition of a backpack with a metal shell able to not only hold his books but also sprout out spider legs. Plus the fact that the bullies at school would become subject to his lovely pranks testing out his different devices. With the head mistress convincing the boy's parents that it would be a much better option for his level of intellect to flourish in a proper environment, they finally agreed. Dubbing himself with the name Gizmo, he never bothered to use his real name again seeing that `Mikron` made him sound like a biology science dork instead of what he really was: A technological genius that could make more that a good hacking device and hardware. At time progressed in H.A.E.Y.P, being the youngest one there, he grew to know his fellow classmates and was more than glad to meet both Jinx and Mammoth. They were the other two who happened to be on par with him in terms of actually succeeding in a combative setting `fair and square` by their standards.

Just because the boy was a genius didn't mean he wouldn't prank new comers or even students he disliked, in fact he practically turned it into a tradition and couldn't help but have fun with that. Surprisingly, students weren't very sour about it later on considering when it came to `Gizmo's picking on the new guuuuy!`most people would just laugh and laugh about it. The sorceress with unfortunate hex bolts and genetically enhanced teen complete with facial hair worked together in a great deal of experiments getting to know each other and become the top trio in H.I.V.E. Getting to know Jinx is what started Gizmo's little crush on her even if he will refuse to admit it himself let alone show it much aside from jealousy. Of course, when he graduated with Jinx and Mammoth, they were soon given a test to see if they were up to par for working under a man known as Slade. Sent out on their assignment, that's when things changed for the H.I.V.E graduates. Despite their success in the first half against their opponents, the Teen Titans , even though they took control of Titans Tower, the super hero team succeeded in the final half but discovered they had a new opponent called `Slade`. Being sent back to the academy, even though they were still far from being typical push overs, Gizmo and the others were disciplined for being unable to defeat the Teen Titans considering the only success the head mistress saw was them being only good as messengers.

Not only did things get harder for them, but it did for the other students since a loss from their top graduates was proof enough that they needed to step up their game if they were to over come all obstacles. There were a few bumps in the road and some clashes with the super teen hero team...but one was the most annoying to deal with...as a team. When `HI-FIVE` was organized to match the amount of Teen Titans a bit better, it was pretty much the trio with two more members from H.A.E.Y.P. Once again the Teen Titans were defeated...except a crazy old lady monster named Mother Mae-Eye defeated them by laying the smack down with her purse. Not too long after that crazy mishap and going back to not only junk food eating but practicing to attempt getting better, Gizmo heard an annoying knock on the door and saw none other than free pie. Being a kid despite how smart he is, how could anyone go wrong with free pie? He thought it was just the coolest thing and brought it on into their place and shared it with everyone.

What happened after eating the pie was a candy coated nightmare from fluffy, pink, Wonderland inspired hell and caused them all to deal with psychotic granny Mother Mae-Eye. How they got out of that one was some major team work. One of his biggest challenges when he was on his own though took place before the mishap when a bunch of heroes were called over for a battle royal. Of course Gizmo and Cyborg managed to butt heads considering he wasn't exactly a hero. Not turning out to be the winner against his cannon wielding rival, he was used as part of `The Master of Games`' medallion for a source of power against Robin. After being freed by none other than the leader of the Teen Titans, he managed to help in dishing out some serious revenge. After all his crazy adventures including racing and even helping Cyborg at one point, he's managed to come back once again.

Sure, he lost quite a bit, but he did in fact learn from it all the same. Unsure of what happened to Jinx aside from the devastating backstabbing of joining the `good` guys...unsure of if they'll ever work together again one thing is certain, he's still got Mammoth on his side!

Roleplay Example: -----Gizmo at the super market

It was such a lovely day! The birds were happily chirping away as though all they has to worry about was singing to one another. Perhaps that was the case today since everything was so calm...y'know for a city full of villains. For all anyone knew, the villains were on an all expense paid cruise...or terrorizing one for that matter. Except there would be one problem with that simple statement...there were in fact villains still lingering around and about the city! One of em' was just walking around in his usual emerald green technologically enhanced jumpsuit with the metallic bag he had as his main weapon of choice complete with a green `G` in the center of a black circle. Today was a special day for the boy who looked bored as could be with those pitch white optics lined by dark circles much like his buddy, Mammoth, the one who was rather hairy for a considerably young person.

Or at least by the previous Head Mistress' standards of what `young` is. Letting out a yawn, he narrowed his eyes a bit and crossed his arms over his chest before muttering to himself in a sleepily aggravated tone, "Crud, where's a flaminglobster energy drink when you need one?!" It was almost as though swirls and anime vein marks could just about pop up and around him at this point while he stomped along the aisles incoherently grumbling up until something wonderful happened! A middle aged man with a bulged out stomach and a mop waddled on over to the angry midget genius before mumbling out "Ya need help'ah lookin' fer soomffin?" It was like this guy had his brain on slow motion to the grumpy, sleep deprived Gizmo. For being a smarty pants who could build weapons of destruction, he sure had absolutely no idea what-so-ever as to where those stupid energy drinks were kept! Well, the cold ones anyway, nothing more gross than slurping down a warm soda!

"Yeah pitsniffing lard fart, tell me where the COLD flaminglobster drinks are already!" Groggy and irritated was most certainly not his best combo and his left eye even twitched a bit as the guy slowly waddled in the direction the chilled beverages were. Ok, so maybe he should of gone to a store he was much more familiar with in such a horrible mood...but it was closer and he felt like he wanted to pass out right away. No way was he going to pass out only to wake up finding his prized wallet was stolen from an old lady! Ever since that Mother Mae-Eye creep, he became very untrustworthy of heavy set old women. "C'mon! Sludge moves faster than you, fart face!" Uncrossing his arms, he clenched his hands into fists and began flailing his arms up and down like a child throwing a hissy fit tantrum over a toy.

This was just gonna take forever like the Energized Rooster mascot for those battery things, wasn't it?! Why did stores have to hire slow, fat workers anyway? What'd he have to do...donate golf carts for these morons? At the rate things were going, sluggishly passing cans of beans...yeah...maybe he really did need to have a charitable donation take place. Or just find an excuse to `accidentally` blow this place up to smithereens. Blurting out the single word, "CRUD!" It was easy enough to hear the pent up rage this boy had to offer.
