Biography
Thiago Diaz wanted to be a hero. He was a good
kid and made sure to always be on the lookout
for danger. If he saw wrongdoing, he would call the
cops, because he wanted to be like his personal
hero, Legacy. Somehow, despite living in Rook City
with this mindset, he survived to be a teenager. His
daydreaming about being a hero distracted him
from his studies, so his parents made him a deal: if
he could get all A’s in his first year of high school, he
could visit Freedom Tower. Galvanized by this goal,
he got his A’s and went on the field trip. Then, while
he was on the museum tour, OblivAeon appeared
above the tower and obliterated it, killing him and
everyone else inside instantly. It was a devastating
tragedy, but not the only tragedy to come out of
the OblivAeon event. Still, this was not to be the
end of Thiago’s story. Somehow, the cosmic energy
interacted with the unique relics and tech in the
museum to preserve his consciousness in the
destroyed electronics. When bits of the wreckage
were transported to Freedom Plaza for study, chunks
of Wraith’s gadgets, Tachyon’s tech, and Bunker suit
pieces formed together into something resembling
a body. The remnants of Thiago’s consciousness had
no hope and felt like he had nowhere to go, so he
latched onto the one thing that he’d always wanted.
He would be a hero.
Capabilities and Motivations
Muerto can possess and animate any electronic
device that he “haunts”. His most commonly used
form is an amalgamation of tech from the remnants
of Freedom Tower, but he can leave it to occupy
smaller electronic devices, or even to temporarily
animate huge machines or pull a group of parts
together to create a massive body. The capabilities
of the body his ghost occupies is largely dependent
on the type of device. For instance, causing a robot
arm to pick up an object would be a lot easier than
trying to make a toaster do the same thing.
Personal Life
Being part of Daybreak fulfills that part of himself
that wanted to be a hero more than anything, but
Muerto doesn’t talk about who he used to be.
He doesn’t even really think of himself as Thiago
anymore; Thiago died. One day, he might be able
to think of himself as a person again, perhaps with
the help of his new allies. Aeon Girl doesn’t see
anything weird about him and treats him like any
other friend, which he needs. Her search for identity
might help him as well. Absolute Zero, as well, is in
a unique position to talk to him about finding his
personhood in the middle of tragedy. For Muerto,
any recovery is going to be a long and difficult road.
