Aquarius is a self-conscious nuclear robot. It is rumored that he is the invention of the optical media wizard, Thelucian. He is a physical manifestation of the ancient symbol of the zodiac, Aquarius, whose influence now rules this age. Aquarius is built out of the concept that consciousness can be distilled into highly volatile liquids, which can then be changed into various forms of energy. His work centers around absorbing information that he receives from the Electromagnetic Frontier (emf). He then refines that information into a life-sustaining elixir that circulates through his entire body eventually to be dispensed through an output hose at the end of his left arm. He can use this dispenser in a positive or negative manner by energizing those around him or disintegrating them with various acids, poisons, lasers or distilled bullets.
His body is constructed from a number of spheres at key joints, vital organs, or intersections. It is in these various reservoirs that the information fluids circulate. Aquarius has the ability to divert the flow of information into various particular channels resulting in strange and unforeseen mixtures and results. At the end of his right arm is a master key contraption that operates from a digital code breaking mechanism in his brain, capable of unlocking any door in the entire multiverse. These keys can also be plugged into his own joints unleashing the chambers and valves in his system and mixing the fluids.
His character is a reflection of the zodiac symbol Aquarius. He is eager to learn, though a bit inclined towards daydreaming. He is a robot full of ideas who loves to catalogue philosophical data. His special task and destiny is to bring the necessary moisture back to desert regions once lush that have been bereft of life through human negligence or violent conflict. He can only do this by absorbing as much information as he can and then returning it to interact with the world in an ideal manner. He is also a vigilante warrior who is capable of fending for himself and others in need.
One of his big problems is decision-making. Because he sees so clearly through to the essence behind all information, he sees the validity of every possibility and is thus torn in every direction. In the end, his decisions depend upon the various levels and types of information he has within him or is receiving at the moment. This is why he is dangerous. He is too sensitive. It is believed, however that he is really kept in check by some sort of remote control or by a programming code that has limited his sphere of action.
He is currently working within Uncle Sam’s Amusement Park, a gigantic corporate circus environment that stretches across what once was the United States of America. Uncle Sam’s Amusement Park is a labyrinth of intricate rides, virtual enviroments, and museums of antiquated marvels of nature and civilization for the young at heart. This Amusement Park has become a way of life for the entire continent. For the most part, all of the events are tightly controlled but there are rumors that offending parties are intentionally put in the way of danger.
At this point in the story, Aquarius quietly vends liquid potions from a booth just outside of the French Quarter in old New Orleans. Most of his customers are weary tourists who are making their way through vistas looking for a glimpse of the old South.
He is biding his time. The fulfillment of an ancient prophecy is at hand….
