APPEARANCE
Much like Axis, the human from which he created his form, Nexus wears (or IS) a living suit of highly advanced biological armour, an Organic, yet mechanical copy, of The Omnisuit. However, Nexus differs greatly from THe Omnisuit that Axis wears. while the Omnisuit was created to fit the human form that wears it, Nexus creation (and subsequent growth) are based on Axis own build, but not restricted to it, and in fact consistently improve upon the limits of a human frame, such as the addition of a large set of wings. Composed of the same near-unbreakable alloy as The Omnisuit, Nexus appearance is similar to that of the armour itself and bears similarities to the internal human skeleton, with downturned segments of armour around the torso like ribs, and plating and spinal joints reminiscent of the human backbone, etc.
Nexus was created from raw Xilium coming into contact with the Omnisuit, and is entirely black in colour as a result. The "eyes" within his dark visor are targeting reticules for onboard computers, composed of the same alloy and run on the power of the substance.

PERSONALITY
Nexus cannot speak. In any known language. He is incapable of comprehending the use of speech, let alone actually uttering spoken syllables, though he does UNDERSTAND many languages, and can easily decipher ones he has never heard.. In a nature reminiscent of his animal like appearance, Nexus does instead growl, hiss, roar, and, in one instance, howl. Communication with Nexus is limited to physical and and verbal cues, (such as being thrown through a wall to make him listen), and emtremely painful and possibly fatal telepathic communication. Nexus lives for violence, and has no feeling of emotion (Save possibly enjoyment of causing Axis general pain) Nexus beast like nature also leads him to follow a sort of "pack hierachy" mentality, wherein he disregards any being he considers below him, and cautiously defies the select few that can better him. hence, Nexus will destroy anything without thought whatsoever, and will not heed any sort of request without being brought to some form of submission, a task in itself.
Nexus first reaction to any problem is simply to destroy it. Unfortunately, Nexus finds everything a problem.

HISTORY
Nexus was created from Xilium, a rare alloy, which in it's raw form is actually sentient, and able to intergrate itself into mechanical systems, possess other metals, and replicate and regenerate itself. he Omnisuit was exposed to raw Xilium during it's creation. The resulting reaction caused a power surge, during which the Raw alloy was lost, and presumed destroyed.
It instead lay dormant and undetectable within the suit, slowly becoming imprinted with the suit's capabilities and functions.
Shorlty after it was found and activated by Axis, the Xilium took over the suit, and Axis himself, and began a rampage. Axis managed to overcome the chemical before it could cause major damage, and it was rejected and discharged by the suit.
however, it still was not destroyed, and the chemical, now imbued with it's own personality and human element, used the imprint of the suit to replicate it, and become Nexus.

ATTRIBUTES
Unlike other Xilium based machines, Nexus is not simply an uncontrollable beast. rather, he does possess a certain level of intelligence, and, occasionally, his own desire for purpose, much like a human being. However, this purpose usually manifests itself into destroying Axis, and anything that hinders his doing so.

Organic Compound :Powered by a self replicating chemical, and entirely self sufficient, Nexus can quite literally continue combat indefinitely without reprieve, provided he does not use excessive amounts of his energy while attacking, such as explosive or energy attacks. While a machine, Nexus is capable of healing, in a sense. His regenerative properties can be used to restore damaged armour and internal systems over a short time.

Energy Vampirism: As a being literally POWERED by darkness, dark, or shadow attacks of any nature, such as magical, have almost no effect. In smaller amounts, such as weak spells or attacks, the offensive power may overrule the dark damage,and have some effect, but moderate or larger use of dark energy will do nothing, nullyifying most physical damage by giving him energy to draw from.

Flight: Nexus has a set of large alloy wings, which he uses to give himself a tactical advantage over prey. He can divert his dark energy to these wings for accelerated flight. His systems can also interlock making him more aerodynamic, allowing him to travel faster even than most thrust based flight systems.

Combat skill: Nexus physical attacks are derived from Axis own, but are driven by Nexus' greater power, and primal in nature, ferocious and relentless. His wristblade techniques are purely his own style, AS they are weapons of his own creation. He attacks violently, without pause, tiring out most opponents early, and will continue his attacks even after being countered himself.


Weaponry

Wristblades: Nexus has a set of wristblades inside each arm, consisting of three razor sharp claws constantly sharpened and maintained by his internal systems. when extended, the splay out at 10 degree anglesfrom eachother, a centre blade flanked by two others at 10 degree angles. The blades can also be unsheathed throught his hands, (wolverine-esque) for more flexible Attack pattterns.

Dark Energy: Nexus can direct his energy into explosive and long range attacks, though He is reluctant to use them at times, as there is no supply of the proper dark alloy he requires to restore his systems as his dark energy requires restoration and does ot regenerate as quickly as Axis' Blue Xilium., and he must instead rely on the limited energies he can draw from other sources such as enemy attacks, or use his energies sparingly.

Notes: If he seems overpowered at all, that's just how he is. I tried to tone him down by making him less able to use his power, though.
Kind of still a work in progress...
