Here is my posthuman technopathy named Technomancer.

 

Physical Description: He is a humanoid that towers a full eight feet in height.  His smooth featureless body is silver in color and completely devoid of hair.  The bones are made of a strong internal network of fibers.  His long neck is twice as long as the neck of a human.  The neck is exceptionally nimble, allowing him to turn his head completely around with no effort.  The large head has an extended cranium that is a foot tall.  The cranium houses an equally large brain.  His cranium is semi-transparent making his brain visible.  The face is featureless except for five solid glassy coated eyes.  Two eyes are set on short and stubby flexible eyestalks that wrap around the head.  The two eyestalks can bend to look up, down, and backward without moving his head.  Three eyes are found in the center of his forehead.  He breathes thru his skin.  All four of his arms end in hands that have three fingers and a thumb.  Protruding from his back are four tentacles that split at the end, into three radial “fingers.”  Both of his feet have two forward facing toes and one backward facing toe.  His blood is metallic blue in color, similar to quicksilver.

Height: 8 feet tall

Weight: ?

History: He was born October 15, 2250, on the dark side of Luna Earth's moon to two transhumans.  The doctor that did the ultrasound of him did not know what to make of him.  He had read about other post-human being born before but he was not sure is he was a post-human.  After giving birth to him the doctor started investigating him.  The doctor then figured out that he was a post-human.  The doctor discovered through testing him that he had a triple-lobed brain  It was also discovered that he did not need to eat or sleep.  The doctor did not know what to make of the fact he did not need to eat or sleep at first.  It was soon figured out by the doctor that his needing not to eat or sleep was part of his post-human physiology.  Also, it was discovered that the reason he did not need to sleep was due to his triple-lobed brain.
     At the age of six months old, he started walking and talking.  Withing three weeks he was fully walking and he could talk like a fully grown highly intelligent being.
     He graduated from high school at the age of nine years old.  He was offered a scholarship to the most prestigious science and technology based college in the world MIT after graduating from high school.  He turned down the scholarship to MIT to work at Global Dynamics in their R&D department.
     Two months after turning nine years old his parents were returning home when the engines on the shuttlecraft they were in malfunctioned.  That caused the shuttlecraft to crash into the Luna surface killing all on board the shuttlecraft.
     Two months after turning ten he built his first fully functioning robot.  A day after he finished building the robot he could hear the robot speaking to him in his head at random times during the day  The next day he could hear the robot more clearly in his head.  He was also able to slowly communicate with the robot with his mind.  The day after that he found out that he could communicate telepathically with the robot any time he wanted to.
     While working to repair one of the robots he was thinking about what would be the fastest way to repair the robot would be.  While he went to get the tools he needed to fix the robot he was still thinking about the best way to fix the robot.  When he got back to the robot with the tools to repair the robot he noticed that the damage to the robot was repaired.  He wondered if he had somehow repaired the robot himself.   The next thing he did was to get three more damaged robots to see if he could repair the robots with his  After that he began concentrating on repairing the robots with his mind.  While he was doing that he noticed that the three robots were being healed of their damage.
     At the age of ten, his IQ was tested and it was discovered that his IQ was off the chart.
     In his free time, he would spend in building a temporal window which would allow him to see into the future.  He spent a year of his free time building the temporal window.  After he turned the temporal window on he used the temporal window to look at the year 6,690 AD.  While looking at the year 6,690 AD he saw that mankind had traveled to the Andromeda Galaxy.  Mankind in the year 6,690 AD had met at least five sentient life forms that were spawned in the Andromeda Galaxy.  These alien being where not all humanoid in appearance.  He noticed that humans traveled through space via the Alcubierre drive which a spaceship traveled in a bubble of space-time at speeds greater than the speed of light.  While seeing what was going on the Milky Way Galaxy in the year 6,690 AD he saw that man had colonized other Earth-like planets.  He found out that at least 100 Earth-like planets in the Milky Way Galaxy had been colonized.  Mankind in the year 6,690 AD he noticed lived with alien lifeforms and cybernetic organisms.  One thing that surprised him while looking at the year 6,690 AD via the temporal window was the fact that there was no money.  He found out that the acquisition of wealth was no long the driving force in the life of humans.  He noticed that humans now work to better themselves and the alien beings they live with.He saw in the year 6,690 AD the Alcubierre drive which allows a spaceship to travel in a bubble of space-time at speeds greater than the speed of light.  Rather than exceeding the speed of light within a local reference frame, a spacecraft would traverse distances by contracting space in front of it and expanding space behind it, resulting in effective faster-than-light travel.
    He also saw that humans in the year 6,690 AD had built high-tech suits of armor, power armor, more advanced bionics than what is found in his time, and intelligent robots. He also saw in the year 6,690 alien technology such as personal cloaking devices and personal force fields, weapons such as plasma weapons, and bionics that were more advanced than human bionics of the year 6,690 AD.
     After looking at the year 6,690 A.D. he spent the next eight month working on a time machine so he could bring back technology from that year back to his time to make money off of the technology from that year.  After he finished building the time machine he set the coordinates for the year 6,690 A.D.  After enter and activating the time machine the time machine unknowingly sent him to the year 2,016 A.D.  After the time machine reached its destination he got out of the time machine and noticed that it did not look like the year 6,690 which he had seen through the time window.  After looking around the area where the time machine had landed the time machine exploded stranding him in the year 2,016.
