Description
Name: GremlinAlter-Ego: Di’Draxus
Age: Unknown
Ht: Varies
Wt: Varies
Eyes: Varies
Hair: Varies
Appearance: A blend of biological organism and machine, very sleek and moves in a fluid manner. His form can shift and adjust as it liquefies and adjusts to makeshift weapons and components to use in the field of combat. Using the technologies of the Cygonian race his body can shift between a metallic and liquid structure as it can expand and constrict into different shapes and sizes.
Base of Operations: The Imperial Star.
Personality type: Calculating, Cocky, Over Achiever, Monotonous, Creature of Habit, and always curious when it comes to new technology.
Skills: Technological regeneration, weapons expertise if the said weapons was technology that was assimilated, shape shifting, hacking mastery, technology mastery (both Earth based and outer space based), and 12th level intellect (to put in DC terminology).
Powers:
Technopathy: As part of Gremlin’s race, his people had the birth ability to control machines. Gremlin is able to manipulate technology in its various forms. Whether being able to hack it, upgrade it, or assimilate it into his own body, Gremlin is able to utilize any piece of technology that is within his sight. The new "upgrade" he undertook further heightened these abilities as he now is able to remote control an indefinite amount of machinery at his disposal. The only limitation is that he has to have access previously, interfaced before, or at least touched in order for his powers to work.
Complete Adaptability: After joining his biological mind to a piece of alien technology that is always evolving, Gremlin inherited the ability to upgrade his body to counter and given problems. Whether natural or made, his body is always looking for solutions to a problem. Given that the shell has to be damaged, or a computerized virus has to be detected, it stands that it faults in some places; however, the shell that is Gremlin is evolving.
Mechanical Assimilation: Given his technopathy and adaptability, Gremlin’s body is able to take any mechanical device and assimilate it into his body. From minor programming to entire vehicles and weaponry, Gremlin can reverse engineer almost any technological feature he deems necessary and either add it to his own systems or evolve his cybernetic soldiers. This also works when he merges with a computer, his processors have a near almost success when penetrating the systems and blasting through the firewalls. Although he has been delayed by superior technology, he won’t be diverted from a computer as a whole.
Hyper Intelligence: Given the various races and technology that both the Nicton and Gremlin have assimilated, Gremlin is no doubt the smartest of the four generals. Given his resources to history and technology, Gremlin is pretty much rendered to a vast resource of knowledge and intelligence at his command. While he has disregarded mythicism, fighting tactics, and other "unnecessary" knowledge he deems as useless, his mind is at the peak of technological feats.
Weaknesses:
His Own Body: Gremlin can be disabled when introduced to foreign elements. Elements like telepathy, magnetism, etc. can render his body immobile while his systems look for a fix to the problem. Given in short bursts, it limits the amount of time the body can develop a cure and it can render his body immobile if done to keep him still.
EMP: Gremlin’s systems are vulnerable to an electromagnetic burst, even though he will boot back up later EMP’s do prove to be an effective way to stop him temporarily.
Computer Viruses: Such as explained above, computer viruses can corrupt his programing. If it is malware that often destroys programing, Gremlin simply discards the infected programing or part of machinery he is bonded to; however, in a need for self-preservation he will stop his task to address the issue.
Magnetism: Like regular computers, placing a strong magnet against his body will cause a brief period of stunning. It won’t stop him as his programing will address and fix the issue; however, super magnets are a different story. Being keyed to electricity and his body being composed of metal, Gremlin will fly up and stick to a super magnet if turned on.
Background:
Coming from a technological utopia, the planet of Netron was established as the haven for other planets that sought advancements or repairs to their equipment, weapons, or ships. It was declared a galactic federation neutral zone with a zero tolerance for any planetary wars, outside corruption, or any other adjustments that showed that Netron had any affiliations for any wars. It was here that Di’Draxous was one of the chief scientists in programing and technological adaptations.
Granted with his people’s natural ability to study and learn machines by simple touch, it was within short time that Di’Draxous felt the day to day repetitiveness of the work his planet provided. There were the occasional challenges that presented his way; however, it wasn’t without merit that he lacked any challenges. He yearned to explore other areas; however, his people forbid him from working on other projects. His appetite for knowledge and advancement started to become a dangerous hunger as he begun to hack his own people’s computers for schematics, programs, and projects that he could oversee and adjust to gain a further understanding. Fearing that the hunger would drive him to over throw the system in place, the people of Netron banished him to an isolated moon with no means to return back.
Driven to near insanity, Di’Draxous was constantly building things from statues to living arrangements. He was alone and almost insane before a ship found him. Walking upon the ship he found many technological wonders; however, this all belonged to Nexus. Nexus saw potential in this creature and offered him a position as a general and to evolve him past what his people’s capabilities were. Quickly accepting this, Nexus evolved Di’Draxous into a being capable of holding the title of “Master of Machines”.
Taking the new name “Gremlin”, he helped Nexus invade and assimilate the people of Netron. After this assimilation was achieved, Gremlin took much pleasure in working and advancing the technology given to him. Having the Nicton’s collective minds of various races and planet’s technology he devised many technological feats that sometimes amazed the great conqueror himself.
Even though he was in technological paradise, he felt limited by what his organic body could do. One day, he constructed a body made out of self-replicating and evolving alien nanotechnology and ordered a procedure to upload his conscious and mind into the new body. After a complete success, Gremlin soon became the living machine he dreamed of being. Constantly working, constantly adapting, and constantly evolving Gremlin now serves Nexus in helping him achieve his end goal while Gremlin strives to become the greatest intellect in the galaxy.
Notes:
1. Gremlin has a habit of getting self-absorbed into his work, with his disregard for needing any sleep he can spend several days or weeks into a project.
2. Gremlin does not like the conventional firearm as he deems them “caveman tools” he instead looks to more laser based or energy type weapons.
3. His voice is mostly robotic and surprisingly does have some emotion towards his speeches for being a cyborg.
4. He has a planet he often refers to as “The Forge” it is entirely robotic as it was once the home world of the Cygonians but after a conquest Gremlin has made this his personal workshop.
5. He rarely leaves his lab unless Nexus orders him to come, he finds new technology to study, or should he have to combat species with vast technology. His corps consists of Cygonians that have been augmented and adjusted to Gremlin’s specifications.

Howdy Deviants,
To shed some light behind the Nicton Armada I am going to shed light behind the vast intellect and master mechanic of the armada, Gremlin. Here is the biography that I could compile; however, I will edit this in future tenses should inspiration demand that I add more to the vast lore. I plan to have individual solo stories featured about the various generals and how they were hand picked by Nexus himself to be part of the vast amarda that is the Nicton empire. I hope y'all enjoy it and feel free to check out it's fellow generals.

Essentially he wants to BE technology. He is looking to learn, assimilate, and develop any technology he can get his hands on and he can think of. He is always looking to improve and update.

Honestly, it isn't relevant up to this point as they are like liquid metal robots and Gremlin keeps altering them to fit the various technological means.
