Appearance:Alan is a white man, from the US. He has reddish blonde hair that is a bit shaggy from lack of a hair cut, but a clean shaven face. His eyes are a vivid blue, and he is well muscled from exercise. He has a scar under his left eye, like a small crescent shaped cut.
Personality: He is fairly fun loving, and sincere as a person. He takes pride in his work and is a hard worker when not distracted. He however has a hard time accepting injustice, and sees the need to act, lending towards his more religious side.
Background: Alan lived in the US, a fairly privileged life, and was somewhat sheltered from the distopia much of the world had become. While privileged, he was not so to the extreme, and could not afford continuing his education on his own means. He was always bright but never managed to get any scholarships despite his brilliance.
As he graduated High School he joined the Army and studied to become a mechanical Engineer, seeking to be one of the people who contributed to the technologies of the world. Through the military training he bettered himself in martial arts as well as having a fondness for heavy weapons on the battlefield. Being an Engineering major though he was not in combat too often, and most of the time worked on vehicles and other projects. He even got to see work in the military's power armor units, he managed to learn how they work and how to operate them, having at one time snuck a chance to try on the armor himself a few times.
However as his time in the military came to an end he managed to get scholarships to continue his education further, eventually acquiring is masters degree in Engineering.
After graduation he got into working on starting his own engineering company, but his progress was stopped by criminal activity in the city, and eventually he lost all his money he had invested in the business after refusing to pay protection money to some crime lord, his rented storage building he was going to convert into a lab "Mysteriously" burned down not much later. After loosing so much he started over, and even decided to start attending Church again, seeing as the whole thing happening a sign of neglect to practice his own faith. He eventually got to working in a junk yard and recycling center, where he got to see life as it really was, with all the injustice. At first he tried to ignore it, but eventually he had enough of standing buy.
He used his access to metal scrap and tools to begin machining his own parts, and he eventually built some scrap armor and used his heavy duty welding helmet as further protection. He re-purposed a industrial Rivet gun into a LMG of sorts, even jacking up the pressure behind the firing mechanism as well as using sharpened rivets. In the end he ended up killing several loan sharks and a few mobsters, calling himself the "Machinist".
He then went back to work, hoping what he had done would scare the local Mob into not being so harsh, but it only ended in a Man-hunt for the "Machinist". He however was never revealed, as there wasn't much to reveal him as the vigilante he had become, and he was also afraid to try that again, he wasn't comfortable doing it all on his own, and so he continues to wait, as his anger grows with the crime rate, keeping it all pent up under the visage of a fun loving, hard working, honest Church going man.
