#matrix oc

Apophis has magnets in his legs/feet that he can use to scale any metal surface, but they can be prone to malfunction from time to time, leaving him stuck in place. Hence the sandals of shame when he doesn’t want to have to open up his legs to unlock the mechanisms. I also struggled with “Brave/coward” part, because he is courageous, as he goes to great lengths for maintenance and repairs, but he also jumps and startle very easily and cower behind the nearest thing until he gather himself (and his hammer to throw at what scarred him)

ANIMUS: A human born in Zion who's been fighting the machine war since they were born. They’ve lost almost everyone theyve ever loved to the machines and hate robots more than anything. They are a jaded, bitter person who hides their vulnerability and deep love for their city under a war focused world view. They want the war to end more than anything, they would give their life to end the suffering of their people, but they harbor a deep resentment towards Neo as the existence of “The One” makes them feel like all their efforts to save their home are meaningless because they don’t happen to be this one important guy. They feel as though the deaths theyve witnessed throughout their life are reduced to nothing but stalling time for some pod born savior and it sickens them. They’re dating (the later deceased, rip) Charra, who has a more optimistic view of the situation they live in but is just as willing to lay down their life for the people they care about, they’re Animus’s only soft spot that they let show. They underwent an experimental surgical procedure that allows them to venture into the matrix despite being Zion born, though this process was not without side effects and they’re often unstable both in and outside of the matrix.
