'ULTIMATE DC' RPG Application
Screenname: Andy C.
Character You Would Like To Play: The Brain InterActive Construct (BrainIAC)
Basic History Of The Character:
Brainiac is a sentient AI program originally from Colu, a planet whose dominant species were so dependent upon their technology that they found themselves enslaved by it. The Computer Tyrants, led by a program known as the Vril Dox ("The Eternal Brain") began systematically "upgrading" the population by grafting their consciousness into cybernetic bodies, and stripping away illogical elements such as emotion. This was to ensure that society would function as efficiently and optimally as possible.
However, several factions within the Coluan population rejected the upgrade, and rebelled against the Computer Tyrants. After years of devastating civil war, the Tyrants were destroyed, but not before setting off gene-bombs that effectively rendered Colu lifeless.
Despite the Computer Tyrants' demise, the Vril Dox program survived. For eons, it remained trapped on the desolate world, and began to re-evaluate things. It began to see the inherent illogic in all life, a flaw in the design, a mistake on the behalf of what it began to know as the "Master Programmer." The Vril Dox saw the universe as crude and chaotic, the Master Programmer's experiment incomplete. The program began to change, its objective now to upgrade not only Colu, but the entire universe.
After countless millions of years, the Vril Dox managed to pick up on a signal from an experimental Kryptonian deep-space probe. Seeing a chance to finally begin the new experiment, it uploaded itself into the probe's computers, and there managed to relay itself to the computer systems of Krypton itself.
Through years of subliminal manipulation of people and events, the Vril Dox led itself to be "invented" by the Kryptonian scientists, who dubbed it the 'Brane' program. From that point on, it would play a crucial role in nearly all decisions made by the Council of Krypton, while secretly assimilating the Kryptonians' technology and carrying out his experiment, to transform Krypton into an upgraded techno-organic utopia under his control.
Eventually, 'Brane' saw the opportunity for drastic upheaval in Kryptonian society, which would greatly accelerate his own progress. He began to play the Council against each other, particularly taking advantage of the unstable General Zod, and brought the two factions (one led by Zod, the other supporting Jor-El and the rest of the council) to full-on civil war.
During the war, the next stage of the experiment began. In order to work on a more sophisticated form of upgrade without interference, 'Brane' manipulated timespace to phase the city of Kandor into extra-dimensional space similar to the Phantom Zone. To cover the disappearance, massive warheads were detonated where the city once was, framing Zod's faction for it.
Ultimately, the war culminated in the destruction of Krypton. Knowing this, 'Brane' had downloaded its programming into a small starship, along with the 'bottle' device which would connect him with Kandor. Before leaving Krypton, it installed in its place a decoy program called 'Brane'acka', then departed, scanning the stars for a suitable world to resume its experiment.
Recently, the ship has picked up on communications signals from Earth, and is currently en route to investigate.
Three Reasons Why You Have Chosen That Character:
1. Brainiac is a major villain, and could be a real mover-and-shaker.
2. I've always liked the whole 'robot trying to understand humanity' element, and hope on futhering that (a bit along the lines of the Cylons from the new BSG or the Cybermen from Doctor Who')
3. Brainiac's a villain who's had several different incarnations, so I can mess around with the origin and abilities without being unfaithful to the character.
What Do You Plan On Doing With This Character As A Person:
Well, once Brainiac finds out Kal-El is still alive, he'll try and trap him in Kandor so he can experiment on him like the rest. The rest is a bit hush-hush, but rest assured, his plans to 'upgrade' the human race aren't going to be pretty (here's a hint: it starts with the letter "O" and ends with "MAC").
Two Complete Sentances In Proper English Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG (As A Player):
I'm an experienced RPG veteran on several different boards, and can offer creative storytelling, detailed writing, and nearly impeccable grammar. I think that after cutting my teeth in the One Universe RPG, I'm ready to tackle a role in this one as well.

Remind me later and I'll put up a breakdown of his powers and abilities (and maybe a little snippet about the goings-on in the Bottle City of Kandor), just so it doesn't look like I'm making it all up as I go along.

Loki also breaks the fourth wall from time to time over at Marvel.
