Itzal Adams // Hosted Human

Itzal amir adams,

this is gospel for the fallen ones

Itzal is both strategic and reckless, things that contradict but somehow are right at home within his heart and mind.  He believes cyborgs are superior to humans and magi.  In his mind, their organic designs could be greatly improved.  The exception to this thought about organic beings is in reference to his brain.  He has always been confident, perhaps even overconfident, about his brain's power.  Sometimes it goes to the point where he is a bit lazy with his thinking.  He never cuts corners with his products, but Itzal thinks that sometimes the easiest solution is the best.  He believes in not overthinking strategy.  Those who have the nerve to discriminate against cyborgs will face a long argument if they stay around, perhaps even eventually leading to them witnessing Itzal's short temper.  When he becomes angry, he can be a bit snarly.  He has a red hot temper that has caused him to flip tables or rip up designs more than once.  It is one of the reasons why his family steered clear of him while was inventing.  He enjoys dark humour whenever he's around someone who enjoys it similarly

However, seemingly at odds with all of that is his gentleness with children.  So much potential, and no decisions made yet.  Plus he thinks they're adorable really.  Squishy and non-mechanical, but cute.  His normal businesslike cold attitude can sometimes seem to disappear while around them.  Sometimes he even seems relaxed.  

Itzal has short blonde hair, often unruly and almost spiky.  It is like his natural hair was once upon a time.  Unlike what they were when he was alive, his eyes are black with yellow irises.  One look in his eyes makes it entirely clear he isn't human.  As if the rest of him wouldn't clue you in first.  He has advanced synthskin on his face, but nowhere else.  He thinks it makes him more personable.  His synthskin ears are pierced, usually with small studs in them.  The rest of him is clearly bionic.  His arms are sleek shiny machinery, with a mixture of lighting and hydraulics colouring some of his joints.  He can change the colour of these lights too, from yellow to blue.  A fashion difference he installed.  The vents on his chest also have lights in them to make things interesting.  It's also worth noting he can also turn these lights off if he chooses.  They aren't bright enough to cause trouble for other people unless they are extremely sensitive to light.  

Itzal is six foot one, with an athletic frame.  Even while human he was decently strong, although of course that has changed now that he is a hosted human.  

When he walks, it is like he owns the road.  His confidence oozes from him as he walks with long proud strides.  He doesn't mind people staring for whatever reason they might.  He knows he catches the eye and he's damn proud of it.



Metal, metal and more metal.  He'll don a suit, a bandanna or just dress casual.  He doesn't strictly need it because he's basically a walking suit of armour, but he finds it easier to blend in.  He doesn't blend in either way, but he gets less people staring this way.  When your body is basically a walking suit of armour, there isn't too much need for clothes.  He's found that wearing clothing seems to make colleagues and soldiers more likely to obey of their own free will instead of acting out of fear.

Extended Family
Meh: 



Itzal, or Zal as he'd become known to his family and friends, was born into a rich family in Suraja on April 15th, 2568.  His parents were overjoyed to have an heir to their business too.  They were so overjoyed that they missed the signs something was going wrong.  Zal was smart, but lazy.  He only got average grades in elementary and middle school, which annoyed his parents.  However they also knew that while he was in his bedroom at home, he was busy inventing things.  They'd introduced him to the concepts of machinery and mechanics because that's what they did in their business.

When Zal was thirteen, he was involved in a car accident that caused his legs to be needing to be amputated.  The man who caused the accident lived.  The driver's family bought off everyone they could and he got away scot-free.  Zal's family had to pay for treatment, and bionic legs out of their own pockets.  They were rich, but it was a blow for the family regardless.  And where the family moved past it, Zal did not.  That said, it didn't stop him from continuing on as well.  He turned from inventing things to his new bionic legs.  They interested him, and Zal started tinkering with them.  He came to the conclusion that he was stronger because of them.  His bionic legs wouldn't fail him. He improved them.  He made the motions smoother, made them respond to him faster.  He started realizing that through the bionic legs he was stronger.  His family had known he'd tinker with them so had never bought him advanced synthskin either.  Might as well make it easier for him to tinker.  They already knew he was good at it because of his previous inventing in much the same field.

He graduated high school at seventeen years old.  He wasn't valedictorian, but something that surprised his parents was that he actually graduated with a high GPA.  Turns out somewhere along the way he found his willpower.  Don't get us wrong, he was still lazy sometimes.  However Zal had found something to spur him on to doing better things.  To put his mind to something.

He was nineteen when he started patenting some of the designs for new, better working bionics.  And then, in an event that surprised everyone, his father passed away from complications of a heart condition.  Doctors advised everyone in the family to be tested, as it was hereditary.  It was discovered that Itzal had a hereditary type of cardiac arrhythmia, along with one of his brothers.  With their weak hearts, both Itzal and his brother Clemens were removed from the line of succession for the company.  This predictably angered both brothers, but particularly Clemens.  When Zal was twenty one years old, his brother Elrik died.  Upon autopsy it was found to be poison.  In addition, an assassin tried to take out Itzal, but his bodyguards took the man out fortunately.  Both incidents were traced back to Clemens Adams.  He was tried for killing his brother and attempting to kill the other.  This left Itzal as the only remaining heir to the family company.  His first move was to rebrand the company as ItzalCorp instead of Adams Inc.  Zal was twenty two years old.  However, rather than taking control of the company, he appointed new people to the board of directors.  Instead of running his company, he would be the owner who created new designs behind the scenes.  That said, he was still attended board meetings and had some input that weighed fairly heavily.  Customers discovered that the products were genuinely excellent quality and added to the already successful line of products.  He started going around Suraja and outfitting children with bionics for free.  He called the project 'Bionics for Kids'.  Any kid who needed a bionic but couldn't afford it, their family could submit an application and there was a possibility ItzalCorp would outfit them.  Zal saw it as not only expanding his brand and helping kids, but also improving the next generation.  He thought humans were okay, but cyborgs were much better.  He pitied magi for the fact they could not get bionics too.

However, there was still the matter of Itzal's cardiac arrhythmia.  Itzal was twenty three and thought about how his heart might fail him one day and came to a conclusion that shocked his doctors.  "Put my brain in one of my chassis."  It was the ultimate proof that he was confident in his products.  The doctors refused, saying that he had plenty more time in his current body.  Itzal though didn't agree with them.  He had looked at his brothers, fearing their deaths.  Or Elrik, dying like their father.  Flesh was weak.  This is why he saw cyborgs as superior to humans and magi.  Itzal was sure.  No matter who he contacted to put his brain in a hosted human body though, they refused.  Creating a hosted human for such a small reason was something they couldn't agree with.

Nevertheless, he kept working on the 'perfect chassis' for himself.  Something he didn't want to sell to anyone.  He didn't stay inside all the time though.  He still enjoyed life, rode his motorcycle, went to parties and banquets.  One day though, he crashed his motorcycle.  His legs were okay, but his arms were shattered.  He hid the fact from the public, staying in a private clinic.  He got bionic arms in the meantime.  He wasn't happy with just that though, as he was still having to take medication for the cardiac arrythmia.  He sent out feelers for people actually willing to perform the operation to become a hosted human.  Finally, he found a doctor and scientist who was willing, and perhaps just insane enough to be the perfect match.  He took a while explaining to the guy exactly what he wanted from him.  They set the operation secretly for when he was twenty-four.  

His doctor friend performed the operation, putting his brain in the custom chassis.  The one that Itzal had nicknamed Lights Model 001.  The first of its kind.  He woke up in the chassis, and the first thing he did was grin apparently.

Itzal stayed inside and kept the operation a secret while he got used to his new body.  When he was twenty five, he decided he was ready and emerged into the public eye.  When everyone saw the head of ItzalCorp was now a hosted human, rumours flew as to what had happened to him.  Nobody could agree.  Itzal decided not to tell anyone why he did it.  Not because he second guessed anything, but rather because he liked to hear everyone's theories.  They were amusing to hear.  Nonetheless, the fact he was confident enough to use his own products helped his business immensely.

By the time he was twenty six, the company was ready for an expansion.  He was asked his opinion on where they should expand to, and Zal said Ethea.  They asked him why he would want to expand there when they had such low opinions of cyborgs.  His answer?  'That will change.'  He pretty much ended the discussion with those three words.  They did ask who he wanted to be in charge of the new office, and Itzal said he would run it himself.  And so they opened an office for ItzalCorp in Ethea.  Felici to be exact.  He travels between Felici and Dagos City a fair bit on business.  He is after all, the owner of the company.  Zal is primarily there to establish a new office for his company.    The Ethean office is still small.  Zal is mostly known in Suraja, not Ethea.  He likes it that way.  Less need to spend money on bodyguards.

He occasionally has problems with his chassis, but the way he looks at it most days is that his human body had more problems.  He's happy with his decision currently.  He works as a mercenary on the side to relax himself.  The way he does his contracts is this: dead contracts he comes back with the head and burns the rest.  Dead or alive contracts usually come back dead, with just a head.  And alive contracts he very very rarely takes.  Because he can't come back with a head.  If you're seeing a pattern, then you're right.  And he burns the rest of the body because he feels it is neater.  

Advanced Synthskin: Your synthetic skin, hair, etc. is extremely convincing. You look like a human to even a trained eye, or fellow androids. This advanced skin will even bruise, scar, and up to a degree, bleed (fake blood). Only advanced detection, like x-rays, could discover the difference.

UNARMED COMBAT I (STARTER); You know the basics and can hold your own in a street fight. The type of martial art or fighting style is up to you. We trust you to be realistic for what you can accomplish and not accomplish at being a general level one in unarmed combat.

FIREARM I (STARTER): Can accomplish fundamental and basic feats with firearm weapons. Examples: Pistol, Revolver, Shot Gun, Submachine Gun, Sniper Rifle, Flame Thrower, etc
Specialized ammunition unlocked: Hollow Point: a round that causing massive tissue damage




Enhanced Strength: You are now capable of displaying strength that is two times as impressive as would a human of your exact same dimensions.

Weapon Convenience: With the purchase of this upgrade you can now have whatever weapon's upgrade you have to now be a physical part of your body. All we ask is that each limb have only one type of weapon attached to it. For instance, the right arm could have two handed weapons abilities applied to it while the other has a single handed weapon upgrade most likely meaning it has a blade concealed within it.
His left arm has a firearm in it with the barrel concealed in the palm of his hand. The electronics can open up when he wishes to shoot. It doesn't inhibit movement.
