Name: Gene Khan
Canon: Iron Man: Armored Adventures
Canon Point: A few weeks after the conclusion of the series.
Age: 22 (jesus he's been in Keeliai a long time)
Type of Character: Transfer

Personality: ORIGINAL:
Gene has had a pretty shitty childhood, and it shows in his interactions with people. He’s good at pretending he’s a normal teenager, or at least good enough to fool pretty much everyone right off the bat. He’s crazy manipulative. Often aloof and preoccupied, many people tend to dislike him right off the bat, or at least not be willing to make friends with him. The idea might be that he thinks he’s too good for his peers; while that’s probably part of it, his jerkass demeanor stems from an entire childhood’s worth of capital-I Issues.
From a very young age, Temujin was having prophetic dreams and hallucinations about the Mandarin’s armor and the Makluan rings, drawing fridge-worthy pictures with his crayons in his Soul Calibur stage of a home in Inner Mongolia, which led his mother to believe that he would be the prophesied one to reclaim all the rings and rule the world.
Getting that spoon-fed to you at the tender age of six is pretty likely to cause some issues down the line.
The first Makluan ring, the heirloom that the first Mandarin had left to his children along with the tale of the rings, was promised to Temujin when he came of age, and for a little while things looked like they were going to be okay...right up until his mother married a man named Xin Zhang. (Who is terrible.) Gene loathes Zhang. If the word “hate” could be written on every grain of sand in the Sahara desert, all that hate on each of those hateful grains would approximate one one-millionth of the hate that Gene hates Zhang with all the time. It’s never stated outright in the show that Zhang murdered her for the money and power - although it’s implied as heavily as it can be in a children’s cartoon - but it’s not even sugarcoated that Zhang is physically and verbally abusive to Gene, a pattern which we can extrapolate as occurring since the death of Gene’s mother.
Gene wants the rings because the world is broken and horrible - and he thinks he’s the only person who can fix it. Naturally, this ends up backfiring spectacularly, because his collection and activation of all ten rings acts as a signal beacon for the Makluans todemolish the Earth to build a freeway come in and invade and also temporarily makes him a complete moron. By trying to save the world with his rule, he ends up nearly destroying it. So, good job, full marks, you can see why his self-esteem is not incredibly high here, despite also having an ego large enough to rival a small gas giant.
He is capable of cold-blooded murder, since he blew up the jet Tony was flying on with little more than a callous remark (“Your son is not my concern,”) when kidnapping Howard. Gene also, after his current canon point, kills the Makluan in the final temple in one of the few successful murders in the entire show (the others are committed by Justin Hammer).
He is so warped by his past experiences that the resident Cthulhu expy, a centipede-like demon named Yogthulu, considers him an “impure soul” when compared to Tony and Howard Stark...bearing in mind the latter used to be a weapons manufacturer for decades. Yes, you read that right. Gene is so fucked up that even the Cthulhu expy is like “Dude.”
Gene tries really hard not to, but he ends up making friends with Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, and James Rhodes. (It gets incredibly awkward when one realizes he’s had Tony’s presumed-dead dad locked up in his basement dungeon this whole time - so for about a year.) He even goes so far as to sacrifice himself to the fifth temple’s guardian in an attempt to save Tony and Pepper from being eaten. (It works, but he also ends up getting all the currently-known rings back, and proceeds to go somewhat mad with power.) The guilt he feels afterwards is overwhelming, and he even throws his rings away from him because he thinks the power isn't worth losing his friends. But just before he goes back to apologize and try to make things right, the rings activate a hidden map showing the locations of the other, previously unknown five. It's easier to chase after the remaining rings than it is to go back and apologize, after all.
Gene appears hurt when Tony repeatedly calls him a monster, and after closing Doctor Doom’s portals of darkforce energy that are unleashing demons upon the world, sadly asks Tony “Do you still see me as a monster?” before teleporting away. He claims to have never much liked Rhodey, but has an evident soft spot for Pepper, going so far as refusing to fight her even when she wears the Rescue armor that Tony made for her.
At the heart of things, Gene Khan is a really messed-up kid with a really messed-up home life and delusions/aspirations of grandeur and far, far too much power for his own good.
IMPORTANT CHANGES:
Gene has...somehow turned to the side of good during his time here. He's gotten less selfish - though still just as insecure - and he's finally beginning to accept that he's loved by other people, and worthy of that love. That was the only way he could pass his Shadow Test, so he's also got a ka he's not totally sure how to deal with. He's also finally gotten over his mommy issues due to talking to his mother one last time during the most recent fourth wall, and he tossed his stepfather into the realm of an eldritch abomination. So he's healing, parent-wise, which was a large source of his trauma. Being in Keeliai for over four years has really changed him, and it's the only place he's ever really considered home since he was six years old. Leaving is going to be difficult for him.
Appearance:
Abilities:
Wushu
Gene is a “Wushu Gold Tiger with twelve years of training”, and as such is an improbably good martial artist since he’s been training from about the age of five or six. He is also capable with swords and other similar weapons.
Dragonseed
The Dragonseed (which, at this point, he doesn’t know is a thing) allows Gene to use the full power of the Makluan rings. Happily for him, this also means that anyone without the Dragonseed is only capable of summoning the Mandarin’s armor. Doctor Doom was able to create a machine that was able to use the power of the ninth ring; however, it took a great deal of time and effort. And also nearly destroyed the world. Kids, don’t be like Doom.
Makluan Rings
The power of all of ten rings combined gives the user godlike, reality-warping powers. Good thing for everyone Gene only has the first nine, and is mostly smart enough not to use them poorly! Mostly. Tony's in possession of the tenth ring, and Gene does not want it. (List of the rings and their powers.)
Ka
Gene has passed his Shadow Test, and as such has gained his ka, a Hieratic Dragon King of Atum named Tolui. He has only just attained his ka and has fallen off the training wagon because just after his Shadow Test everything started going to shit.
Suitability: Gene has been here for a very long time, so he's used to Konryu. He'll fit in nicely with the kedan, and probably jive well with the other races. He's diplomatic enough these days to do that, at the very least, and he'll be surprised (but very pleased) to find that Dreamfolk are far more common and accepted than Foreigners were. He may also be a resource for living history, given that he lived in Keeliai for such a long time and is now suddenly half a millennium in the future.

x1 set of notes given to him by Raine.
