Name: Albrecht Macros
Age: Aproximately 1000 years
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Alignment: Lawful neutral
Power Level: A 5 in his normal body
Timeline: Modern
Appearance: Macros is typically a tall man standing at about 6 foot 3, he has pale skin and blue eyes as well as pale blond hair. The hair always appropriately styled in the approved style of the time period. His face is even and handsome if ever so slightly narrower than the ideal human face would be. His body appears to be thin but moderately muscular. All of his personal bodies hold to this appearance. He is nearly always dressed immaculately in the finest suits and other clothing articles. He always appears to be physically young though his eyes seem faded and almost bored with what he sees though at the same time piercingly sharp.
Personality: Macros is someone who could be classified as not necessarily arrogant but firmly believing that blood matters and in the concept that some are simply born to rule and others are born to serve. He believes himself to be in that first category. He values and follows his own personal code of honor. Also a defining aspect of him is ambitition and a firm belief that he should rule and desire to do so. Also given the rules of the day are made by what he considers to be commoners and commoners have no power over those with the divine right to rule he believes himself to be above the laws.
History: Macros was born nearly a thousand years ago to a family of the lesser nobility in what would be known at Germany. Like many young noblemen of the age he went questing after artifacts with mystical and or holy significance. Unlike so many of those questers who would never find a trace of one, Macros actually found an artifact.
The artifact that Macros was to stumble upon was known at the time as the heart of Persephone. Said to have been granted to a hero long ago who had won the favor of the bride of death it was said to be able to grant undying existence. Macros found the artifact and a significant cache of less valuable but still profitable artifacts after several years of searching. A small shrine of sorts that had escaped discovery in the past yielded it's contents up to him.
The "heart" was a stone roughly a foot in height and an oval in shape, orange veins crisscrossed beneath the surface. It stirred at his touch and Macros lost consciousness, when he awoke he did not feel any different though the stone was now gone. Even without that particular artifact the other riches of the shrine were a valuable find and like most people who actually were successful in finding wealth he went to town with it.
During the process of going to town he accidentally discovered the effect that the artifact had had on him. It was a rather nasty shock to suddenly find himself in the body of an individual he had been with at the time. He did manage to switch back and after taking actions to keep the girl tended to until she woke up if she ever did he left. As bizarre as that experience was he discounted it up until it happened again. After that Macros began to think that perhaps the legends had been true about the artifact.
For a time he simply used the discovered ability to preserve his own existence from one generation to the next. He played the game of thrones and as his experience grew so too did his skill at playing. His house became one of the greatest noble houses. It was the peak time for the people of the noble classes but the time was drawing to a close, unlike so many Macros saw the signs heralding the waning influence and power of his class and used his resources to enter trading and banking enterprises in a large way.
As most of the nobility was slowly stripped of their power and titles Macros continued to prosper and become richer and retained his influence though now through money. As the nobility and other classes with the right to rule faded from the scene and power passed to the commoners Macros began to expand his influence into those less than legal areas justifying it to himself by saying that as one of the last scions of the nobility he was above the laws of the commoners.
The trend of growth and development continued through the 1900s and nearly every new field of technology and enterprise had a Macros subsidiary or the company that came to be known as Macros international directly involved in it. The criminal aspects of his empire grew as well though less extensive than his legal aspects for his personal codes did not allow for him to be behind the breaking of certain laws.
In the ending days of the 1960s a Macros International funded survey expedition looking for an isolated location in which to build a highly unofficial complex stumbled upon a crashed spacecraft clearly of highly advanced design. A complex was in the end constructed directly around the ship itself and all possible resources were devoted to uncovering as many of the ship's marvels and replicating them if possible. Over time Macros International has been successful at reverse engineering many of the technologies and the ship has given it an enormous leg up over nearly all of it's competitors. The technology from the ship also led to the creation of the Macros STG.
Powers:
Macros has the ability to body hop providing there is an human body that he can touch. After he has entered a body the original personality and mind that animated it is purged and a body that he leaves behind is rendered inert and will eventually die as it is incapable of any conscious acts.
His body is nanonically enhanced, his dermal, muscle, nervous, and osseus tissues are all enhanced to make him stronger and less easily hurt than a normal human.They also allow for faster reaction time and limited self treatment in the event of injuries or other medical issues.
Equipment:
*Combat bodies- Macros has far more combat ready bodies than his normal ones. They are equipped with the latest in neurally integrated weaponry and massively enhanced nanonically. Neurally integrated force fields and and a reinforced skeleton make these bodies far more difficult to damage and the inclusion of neurally linked malmetal allows for projection and flexibility in weapon selection. In a full combat body Macros can become up to a 9 powerlevel wise.
Weakness: If there is no body to hop into Macros cannot body hop. His bodies are all biological and as such they get tired and wear out and cannot withstand the same degree of abuse that an artificial could. He can be harmed by poison and gasses though the first is not particularly effective against him. He also has a cool down time in which he cannot switch bodies again though this is not a very long wait period.
