[i]"I've already died, kid. Life isn't so precious the second time around ... So tell me, why not try again?"[/i] [b][Real Name:][/b] Unknown [b][Notable Aliases:][/b] Cylus // The Demise [b][Species:][/b] [Enhanced] Human Male [b][Status:][/b] [i]*Previously Deceased*[/i] Currently Living [b][Age:][/b] 27 Years Old [b][Appearance:][/b] [spoiler]Young with a good build, you can tell Cylus is a man of reserved pride. His smooth dark skin is well toned, and his stocky build can be seen through his suit. His curly hair is buzzed into a low fade and is always well maintained. He is constantly wearing his battle suit, which some say bears resemblance to many comic book heroes back on earth. [/spoiler] [b][Suit and Weaponry:][/b] [spoiler]Seemingly taking inspiration from the comic book character Red Hood, Cylus wears a grey hooded armor battle suit with a belt and holsters for his weapons. He is armed with dual handguns, multiple knives and blades, plus two escrima sticks on his back that he could connect and use as a staff. back He also carries many other tools such as smoke pellets and flashbangs. He does not always use these, and has proven to be just as skilled in hand to hand combat. He also has two projectile grappling devices that can launch out of each one of his wrists, allowing him to maneuver with ease. The "ropes" are made of small metallic microbes that can stick to any surface and break down over time. He can use these in combat to tie up his opponents or take things from their hands, or he can use them to maneuver around his surroundings. He also has metal arm fins that potrude from the forearms of his suit, which can be used for slashing, catching, or deflecting objects. These fins can also be launched in as projectiles, but must be retrieved and put back in. Just in case, Cylus keeps and extra set for each arm. When going into combat, Cylus wears a sleek matte black helmet that he wears under the hood. The helmet itself is bulletproof, as when we first saw him, he had two bullets embedded into the forehead. These weapons have seen a lot of blood, thus giving him the nickname [i]The Demise[/i][/spoiler] [b][Q:][/b] [spoiler]Cylus also has an artificial intelligence program that runs through his suit and aids him in battle. It can analyze his enemies for him as he fights, identifying their weapons, abilities, and even fighting patterns. It speaks to him through an earpiece and can create a holographic screen within his helmet, but does not seem to have a physical form. It was named Q, as a reference to a character from the popular [i]James Bond[/i] Movies.[/spoiler] [b][Abilities:][/b] [spoiler]During his interview, Cylus seemed reluctant to give us information on his alleged abilites. He admitted to having said abilities, but would not disclose the nature on how he obtained them. [b]Enhanced Human Capabilities:[/b] Cylus, being enhanced in human terms, has increased Strength, Speed, Stamina, and Reflexes. Not quite on "superhuman" levels, but it creates a notable difference in the battlefield. He recalls dodging enemy fire and going so far as catching throwing knives midair. [b]Regenerative Capabilities:[/b] One of his enhancements is that Cylus is capable of quickly healing from any injuries he obtains. It is not instant, but he claims that he has once healed from multiple bullet wounds overnight. [b]High Pain Tolerance:[/b] Part of his Regenerative Capability was being able to accept the pain he endured in battle, which has proven effective in training. [b]Bloodlust:[/b] Cylus has admitted to have gotten out of control in battles, but says it is ultimately what has kept him alive for so long. He attempts to reason with the fact that he had once died before, and our advanced testing show that he has in fact been deceased. Cylus says the Alias [b]The Demise[/b] refers to his own death and the grim fate that his enemies face. When he enters this state of rage, Cylus becomes extensively brutal in killing his enemies, emptying multiple magazines into small crowds and even cutting off entire limbs with his blades. A dent in a knuckle of his glove shows where he beat a man's skull in after the man attempted to shoot him in the back if the head. Story has it that Cylus once killed 42 men in less than 5 minutes with nothing but his fists and a knife. [/spoiler] [b][Notes:][/b] [spoiler] At first glance, Cylus appears to be a battle worn fighter, even for someone so young of age. He is seldom seen wearing anything other than his battle suit, but on occasion he is not wearing it, he still carries his favored weapons at his hip. He keeps to himself, but stays open during interactions with others. He first arrived at the Dojo worn, beaten, with nothing on his back but his weapons and armor, looking for somewhere to stay. Nobody saw him coming in, and nobody knew how he got there. He occupied his dorm for two days, not coming out even for food and water. When he finally came out, he seemed well rested and ready to train. Cylus was a very blunt individual, seemingly not caring whether he kept his filter on. Since then, he seems to have gotten more comfortable, but he still keeps his guard up. Some people say they've heard stories of him and his battles, none of them consistent. Others say he is nothing more than a lie. He's a walking enigma and I believe that he just has trouble connecting to his past. Something has happened to him, but my intentions are not to pry.[/spoiler]
