December 2015 Fanon Con - Tech (Tech 10: Rebooted)
Tech, who also goes by the names of Teknois Neferus Logical and his real name of Isaac Matthew Logical, is a very average-looking teenager, with brown hair, blue eyes, and pale skin. His height is average, his build is average, and at first glance, pretty much nothing stands out about him. Dig a bit deeper, however, and you'll find a far more grim story than you'd expect.

He was always a rather reclusive kid, spending his time either hiding away in his room or walking in a rather secluded gorge near his house, going out of his way to avoid people. Despite this, he was still somewhat friendly, and even managed to strike up a friendship with an alien named Aquadilus that lived in the gorge's river. At twelve years old, however, his life changed when a malfunctioning probe carrying a device called the SpecTrix crashed near him and Aquadilus while they were having a conversation. He investigated the probe and put on the SpecTrix, accidentally transforming into an alien form he dubbed 'Electrolite' and unknowingly sealing his fate.

What followed was an adventure up to the spaceship of The Puppet Master, who was responsible for the SpecTrix's crash landing, and was furthermore abducting humans from all across the globe to use as a power source. He and Aquadilus investigated the ship, but were caught by The Puppet Master and dumped into a dark room.

This is where things really went wrong.

He and Aquadilus discovered that the room was actually a disposal furnace, and that the humans The Puppet Master used for power didn't always make it, and were then...disposed of. Sitting in a pile of ashes and charred human remains, Tech's brain kind of shut down, leaving him rocking on the ground and muttering to himself. Though Aquadilus managed to snap him out of it in time for them to escape the incinerator and stop The Puppet Master, the experience scarred Tech for life.

Three years later, Tech had opened a gift shop using intergalactic legal loopholes and began superhero work, but had become a much different person than he was before. Suffering from depression and a carefully concealed hatred of both himself and the world, he cared more about exacting vigilante justice than actually helping people. In spite of this, he put up a front of caring in order to interact with the world, but with his broken-down personality always pulling the strings.

Intending to stay this way for the rest of his life, he was forced to do some heavy self-reflection after witnessing the destruction of a city containing millions of innocent people and then being killed himself by the person that had destroyed the city. Thanks to an earlier incident concerning The Void, he was able to come back to life, and took the second chance to try and change his ways.

He slowly started pulling himself back up to the light, swearing off killing and trying to be a better person. He allowed himself to properly interact with people again, and started to change his opinion on the universe as a whole. By the time he faced off again with The Puppet Master and the person who had killed him before, he had essentially been reborn, willing to not just die for his ideals, but to live for them.

His progression into a great force for good continued throughout the series, and though he remained somewhat abrasive and sarcastic, still living with his depression, by the time the series ended, he had become a true pillar for the defense of the universe. With both new and old friends by his side, Tech had finally picked up the broken pieces of his life and shaped them into a new hope for the future.
