Character Name: Tony Stark

Character Source: Marvel Cinematic Universe (taken after the events of Avengers: Endgame)

Starting Location: Erde Nona

Character Behavior:
Tony Stark is a Turbulent Genius. Really there’s a lot of words to describe his personality: snarky, wild, brash, impulsive, self-destructive, extroverted, egocentric, mildly narcissistic, and many others. He has an enormous ego backed by his vast skillset and loves the limelight. Yet the numerous hardships and emotional turmoil that he went through both before and during his superhero career as Iron Man and as the CEO of an enormous tech giant have made him into a ‘real’ superhero capable of self-sacrifice.
Tony is also a Genius, and would be the first to say so. He was one of the smartest humans back on Earth, a polymath that excels in a number of scientific fields. And while the Crossroads offer a significantly more advanced general level of technological development, to him that is a challenge and an opportunity.

Physical Description:

Tony Stark is a 53-year-old human male. While handsome and physically fit for his age, the only thing about him that visually stands out is the Arc Reactor device that he wears on his chest, usually attached to his undershirt. He also has a few scars as marks of past battles, but the only one you’ll see without Stark naked (pun intended) is the light burn marks on his right hand and arm that remain from his use of the Infinity Stones.

Character History:

Anthony Edward "Tony" Stark was born in the US to the son of Howard and Maria Stark, in the midst of the Cold War. While his family life wasn't the best, he quickly showed signs of his brilliant mind designing a circuit board at age 4, a motorbike engine at age seven and graduating summa cum laude at age 17. When his parents died, he inherited his father's company, Stark Industries, at age 21 and went on to becoming a billionaire industrialist and playboy.

When he was kidnapped in Afghanistan and saw the gruesome things that were done using the Stark Industries weapons, he turned both his life and the direction of his company around away from weapon development and toward technologies to improve whilst creating for himself the power armors that became so iconic to his superhero identity of Iron Man. He went on to work with the SHIELD agency and its superhero group the Avengers to protect his country and Earth against all sorts of supernatural threats.

Things came to a head when the Mad Titan Thanos invaded Earth and acquired the Infinity Stones, using them to kill half of all life in the universe through what became known as the Snap. Though the Avengers were unable to prevent this, Stark was able to discover the key to time travel five years later, and worked with the Avengers to undo the Snap. Ultimately, he heroically sacrificed himself to eliminate Thanos and his armies and saving the universe from destruction.

Except that he wasn't quite allowed to die, and was instead given new life in a foreign universe.

Abilities/Skills:

Master Skills:

Electronics Engineer (RANK 6 - 300)
Total Cost: 300

Technical (Mechanics)
Technical (Electronic Circuits)
Technical (Robotics)
Research (Technology)
Technical (MacGyvering)

Stark is an extremely talented engineer and robotics technician, able to build all sorts of mechanical devices and circuits, including complex robots. His most iconic creations are his Iron Man armor-suits that allowed him to go toe-to-toe with powerful heroes and villains in his native universe, such as Captain America, Thor and even the Hulk. He can even understand unknown tech simply by seeing it in action, unless it’s far more advanced than anything he knows.
If he lacks proper tools and resources, Stark is also able to use whatever’s at hand to engineer a solution to the problem or challenge he’s presented with. Obviously he still needs a ‘real’ laboratory and equipment to bring out the full extent of his skills.

Software Engineer (RANK 6 - 300)
Total Cost: 300

Technical (Software Programming)
Knowledge (AI)
Science (Machine Learning)
Technical (Interactive Holograms)
Technical (Hacking)

Besides his skills on the physical side of computer engineering, Stark also sports advanced skills on the software side: he’s able to program complex software with a specialty on almost human-like Artificial Intelligence and machine learning. He’s also designed computer arrays that not only project 3D holograms, but that can also recognize the presence of foreign objects in their field and allow for real-time manipulation of the projections as if they were real and tangible objects. His experience also allows him to figure out weaknesses in software and hack most protections, encryptions and firewalls.

Enterpreneur (RANK 6 - 300)
Total Cost: 300

Social (Business Dealings)
Knowledge (Leadership)
Performance (Public Appearance)
Social (Personal Charisma)
Survival (Stress Management)

Stark is a very skilled businessman with the experience of a Fortune 500 Company CEO of thirty years under his belt. Granted, he had capable assistants and a board of directors that helped him shoulder much of the burden, but it still left him experienced in leading a multinational tech conglomerate, and handling all the pressure that comes with it, from public appearances before the press, on charity events, scientific lectures, senate and court hearings, speeches and so on, to contract negotiation with business partners or just being a good boss to his employees.
Stark also has the personal charisma and wit to make people warm up to him, be it hardened military officers, serious government agents or world-protecting sorcerers. His open- and straightforwardness makes people inherently trust him, with good reason.

Multidisciplinary Scientist I (RANK 6 - 300)
Total Cost: 300

Science (Physics)
Science (Computer Science)
Science (Mathematics)
Science (Electrical Engineering)
Science (Mechanical Engineering)

Stark is an exceptional scientific prodigy who's brilliant in a whole number of scientific fields, particularly physics and computers. Besides having graduated summa cum laude from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at age 17 he has at least one doctorate (in physics, also don't call him Doctor Stark, he finds that pretentious) and a lot of theoretical knowledge that, thanks to his more hands-on experience, he knows how to apply in practice as well.

Multidisciplinary Scientist II (RANK 6 - 300)
Total Cost: 300

Science (Chemistry)
Science (Neuroscience)
Medical
Science (Nuclear Physics)
Science (Astrophysics)

Outside of computer- and engineering-related scientific fields, Stark is also knowledgeable in Chemistry, Nuclear Physics and even Astrophysics, the latter two of which are the results of his research into extraterrestrial tech. And while he cannot hold a candle to a fully-fledged surgeon, his field training and experiences from his injuries in battles against super-powered foes have made him naturally adept at administering first aid and treating basic injuries until such a time as better care can be rendered. A particularly noteworthy achievement is the miniaturized Arc Reactor that he implanted into his chest (with the aid of a real surgeon) and later maintained by himself to preserve his life and power his Iron Man armors.
