"Machines were built to help mankind, but what happens when man and machine become one? What purpose would such a being have? Would they lose their humanity in exchange for the strengths of the machine? Or become a perfect bridge between the two?"

Name: Cyrus Norcross
Age: 16 (all legal records say he's 18 making him a legal adult)
Birthday: November 20th
Species: Nanite Cyborg
Category: Citizens
Career: Criminal Hacker




5'10, thin agile build, medium length white hair worn loosely, glowing neon green eyes, clothing usually consists of a bright green shirt, a dark green coat and black jeans, in his base nanite form he looks exactly the same except he looks as if he's made of metal.


Cyrus is a friendly sort, you'll rarely see him without a smile on his face and will often go out of his ways to help others, he's a bit quiet at times, and will sometimes lose himself in his own thoughts, that said, he's a bit mischievous, trouble just seems to find him, he enjoys pranks and hacking computers though he'll rarely do it with unfriendly intentions, its normally all done in the spirit of fun and friendliness. His loyalty depends largely on how much he thinks he's being given, if a person trusts him then he'll give that trust in return. He's very much chaotic good, he does things with good intentions, but his methods won't always be legal, he'd happily hack a bully's laptop to expose embarrassing information, or hack a corrupt banker's phone to expose criminal activity. Underneath all this is a conflict of fears and doubts, a fear that he'll lose his human emotions to his new machine self and doubts about whether or not he's still human at all.


Machine Mind: He has the ability to connect his mind to other computer based machines and he can use this connection in a couple of ways
-Hacking: He can hack into and take control of computers within thirty feet if him. He's currently limited to cell phones and PCs/laptops, anything more advanced and he'll be unable to hack it.
-WiFi/Download: His mind can connect to the internet and download info from it or hacked devices.
A.I. Telepathy: He can form a connection with A.I. that allows them to have mental conversations. The A.I. in question has to be within fifty feet, he can only heat the thoughts the A.I. let's him snd the connection is easily blocked.

Enhanced Intelligence: Cyrus was born with heightened intelligence, he's always been far more intelligent than he should be, a true wonder child of academics.


Eternal Life: He'll stop aging in his twenties and live forever if not killed.
Biological Affects: Because of the nanite infusion, he doesn't have any internal organs besides his brain, and so no longer needs food, air or sleep.
Self Repair: His bad is fused with nanites on a molecular level, because of this his body self repair. An eye would reform in twenty four hours.
Weaknesses:
Electricity: Bursts of strong electricity can be disruptive for the nanites and temporarily shut off their self repair protocol, making him heal like a human for the next few hours.
Nanite Form: He can shift fully into a silver nanite form, which grants him other abilities.
-Limited Shapeshifting: While in this mode he can change his shape into anything he can imagine, except he cannot change his color or add or subtract mass, so he'll always be the same size. This shifting can be his full body or just parts of it.
-Molecular Realignment: He can realign his molecules to become harder, giving him the ability to make himself fluid like a liquid or as tough as steel.
Weakness:
Electricity: While he's always vulnerable to electricity, its even worse in this form. Bursts of high volstage will destabilize his shifting, often leaving him stuck between forms and unable to revert to his normal form for up to an hour depending on the voltage.


-Cyrus was born to a pair of brilliant scientists in new York City. From day one it was apparent that he was different, his eyes were sharper and more curious than other children.
-Growing up he baffled people with his intelligence. He quickly passed children his age, always being far ahead of them. Soon the normal teachers had nothing to teach him, so he had to go to advanced tutors and classes.
-Along with his great intelligence came a mischievous side, he tended to get in trouble, teachers were pranked, computers were manually hacked, he was a handful for everyone.
-Despite this mischievousness, he had a big heart and a desire to help people, he warmed the heart of the people around them as much as he pranked them, helping those around him was like second nature to him.
-At age twelve he was taking courses at one of the most esteemed schools in the world. He was actually heavily bullied by some of the students because of his age. In the end, he managed to hack some of the bullies' computers, leaking info that got a few expelled. Luckily his illegal activities were never revealed and he was able to continue his studies.
-Now, his parents worked on numerous scientific projects. Each groundbreaking and very secret, all with the intention of helping mankind in one way or another. -
-One project was particularly promising, their work on nanites. Tiny machines that could be programmed to do numerous things, from noninvasive surgery to aiding in tissue regrowth. If successful it would not only revolutionize medical work and save many lives but, as some believed, give mankind full control of their evolution by permanently enhancing people.
-While many elements of the project were secret, some were publicly known, and it caused not only a lot of excitement but also a lot of controversy. Many saw it as playing god and taking away people's humanity.
-Unfortunately, riots became common in front of the labs and at press conferences. Because of this Cyrus and his family often had security escorting them for their own protection.
-One group of zealots were particularly dangerous. They were basically terrorists, attacking labs and the people who supported them, all with the intention of stopping the nanite project.
-Then one day, they attacked the labs while Cyrus' and his family were visiting. Cyrus was taken hostage within the labs. In the end, the situation turned to chaos and Cyrus and the terrorists were exposed to the unprogrammed nanites.
-The terrorists died, but Cyrus survived. The nanites changed him, turned him into something more than human, fusing with him on a molecular level, he became something of a cyborg.
-He spent a month in a coma as his body changed, his parents always monitoring his condition. He was shocked when he finally woke up, shocked at his changes. Though he liked his new abilities, the transformation left him secretly trouCyrus as
-His parents relocated the family into lab, to live and to observe and study Cyrus' changes.
-Unknown to them, the head of the company that funded the experiments was corrupt and greedy. He was more interested in making money in militarizing the experiments and selling them on the black market.
-The corrupt business head saw Cyrus as an asset for the military application and so had the boy's family killed and Cyrus experimented on.
-Eventually a heist group infiltrated the facility, they weren't expecting to find a young boy being experimented on, but they helped him escape and took him in.
-Using his hacking skills and equipment provided to him by the group, he altered official files to make him legally older in order to make things easier.
-Now he joins the group in coming to Manta Carlos.


-Plays violin.
-Had reading glasses prior to the nanite infusion, still occasionally wears them out of habit.
-Has an apartment
