Cyrus Blackwood, Bionic Cyborg

Cyrus Blackwood,

This is gospel for the fallen ones

Cyrus is a complicated person, despite all evidence supporting the opposite. He might come off as your simple flirtatious goof, who is always cracking wise and is the life of the metaphorical party. In fact one could safely assume that Cyrus goes out of his way to make himself out to be a bumbling idiot, whose only actual concern in life is having fun. However if one were to pull back the layers of Cyrus's outward persona they would find a much more cunning, well-read, and almost manipulative man tucked behind the curtain. He came to the conclusion early on in his life that no one suspects a fool to be anything more than just that, a fool. Although he uses his false face for far more than to just deceive those around him.

His goofy and carefree attitude acts as a sort of shield for the man and his emotions. He'll play of almost any situation with a laugh and a witty remark, but in truth he takes a lot of things seriously. He cares deeply for those close to him and it could be said that he might even care a little too much for his own good. Still, just because he cares doesn't mean Cyrus can't hate, or hold a grudge. In fact when it comes to letting go Cyrus is almost too stubborn to the point of being damn near impossible to change his mind. A trait that many say he has in common with his father.

Speaking of which, Cyrus is often seen as the black sheep of his family. He is nowhere near as religious as the rest of his family, but still respects the work that they do. Evident by the fact that he, like everyone else in his family, have chosen the path of the Magi Hunter. However Cyrus takes the work far less seriously, and does not view it as an a holy act. It's a job for him, a point of view which often puts him at odds with other Hunters and his family. Regardless of his differences with his family however they are important to him and he would do just about anything for them.

Cyrus also has a clearly different view about things like Cyborgs, and even Magi themselves. He has never viewed those willing to take the option to enhance themselves as weak, but more so as brave, smart even. The world is currently a very dangerous place and taking any advantage you can get is wise. He also understands that not all Magi need to be hunted down and killed, those who chose to take their gift and twist it of course need to be removed. Those who wish to live a peaceful life however? They should be given the option to do such, and are not lesser people because of their use of magic either. No one should be judged harshly because of the circumstance of their birth.

Thus Cyrus has a natural hatred for those who hate so justly, and look down upon others. This includes members of his own family. Which is perhaps why Cyrus is seen as such a black sheep in a family so well known for their devout faith. Why, amongst his fellow hunters he is seen as a slight stain upon their honor. Regardless of this no one is able to deny the fact that Cyrus is extremely proficient at his job, even before his upgrades. Which is perhaps what makes those within his family and the guild even more frustrated by the young man.

Coming in at five foot nine inches Cyrus is anything but short. Yet, he is nowhere near as tall as other Blackwood men; his younger brother being taller than him by at least three inches. When it comes to his weight Cyrus is rather heavy for someone of his size. The weight in question being 185 pounds due to the mass added on by his bionic implants. Cyrus, like all children holding the Blackwood name has blonde hair. In his particular case it's neck length in the bac. At the front his golden locks reach down just far enough for them to cover his eyebrows, if only slightly.

It is upon further inspection of Cyrus's face that one is capable of telling he isn't entirely human(if the arms weren't a give away). He has unnaturally golden eyes, surrounded by black sclera instead of white. These cybernetic eyes have been enhanced with a variety of features, all of which cause the eyes to glow when in use. Even with his unsettling eyes, which have been designed with the purpose to be intimidating Cyrus is clearly a very attractive individually. A trait that much like his hair is common amongst his members of his family.



Of course how one might perceive the young man changes the moment they take notice of his torso. Cyrus has replaced his fleshy human arms with cold, black, cybernetic ones. These new, and as far as Cyrus is concerned; improved arms were custom made for the young man. They were built so seamlessly into his body that it's almost as if he had been born with them. Much like his eyes, the cybernetic arms have enhanced function that make his work as a Magi Hunter far easier for him. While most of the enchantments within the arms are hardly noticeable when using any of the built in weapons portions of the arms take on a orange glow. 

The third of Cyrus's more noticeable upgrades can be found in his legs. Both of which have been replaced at the knee with the same type of alloy used to craft his arms. These cybernetic legs are designed to increase his movement speed. Housed at the back of each leg are small vents that allow for use of the Propulsion upgrade. Worth noting is that while only three of his upgrades are noticeable, Cyrus has a host of others within his body that go unseen by others.


Cyrus isn't the type of person that focuses too overly on the type of clothing that he wears. He does however prefer loose fitting clothing, as they feel the most comfortable on his body. The young man is often seen wearing tank-tops and blue jeans because of this. Of course he is 'human' and thus his clothing often changes to fit the situation or his mood at the time.

It wasn't easy growing up a Blackwood. A family who not only have strong ties to the Goddess Kalidas, but also have an expansive history of being Magi Hunters. Even as the second born of the current generation of Blackwood's Cyrus had a lot expected from him. Evident by the fact he was given his grandfather's name upon his birth. When Cyrus was born, on the third of May, he was small in size and it took his father Samuel by surpise. As most Blackwood men were known for their large size noticable even upon their birth. This was the first of many signs that Cyrus would not be like the man who shared his namesake. 

Up until Cyrus was eight he lived a somewhat normal childhood in Felici City, playing like all the other little tikes his age. Where his differed from most was in the level of faith that was attempted to be taught to him towards the Goddess Kalidas. At his dinner table they would pray to her before their meals. They would seek her guidance when things in life weren't going so sweet, and while Cyrus partook and respected these actions they always felt off to him. Any attempts in telling his father, mother, or even sister about this was almost met swiftly with them telling that it was the Blackwood way. That eventually it would all begin to feel natural to him.

Like mentioned Cyrus' childhood changed when he turned five, the age in which all members of the Blackwood family began their training. Adjusting to such a vast change in lifestyle was hard, especially for a young child but it was the Blackwood way. The training began as book studies, hours upon hours of his life spent pouring through the Blackwood books. Attempting to pile everything his family had learned about Magi, Spirits, Rune Magic, and the Gods into his tiny little brain. Each day he would tested upon the various subjects and if he passed he could move on to the next subject. If he failed he'd have to repeat his studies the next day.

It took the young lad a solid three years to pass every test that followed with each subject. This was the longest it had ever taken someone from recent generations to learn. His father had been disappointed, and so had his sister. Truthfully Cyrus hadn't even been trying his hardest. The entire process seeming like a waste of time, as he was surely going to forget most of the information housed within the tomes soon anyway. Regardless of his father's disappointment the next phase of Cyrus's training began two months afterward. Combat training.

The eleven year old knew this was going to be something far more useful for him, after all he was going to be a Hunter right? They fought, and did not spend their time inside the pages of books like those at the Runic University. It was in this portion of his training that Cyrus began to put his effort into learning. It showed almost immediately as well. His father had called it a blessing from Kalidas but Cyrus simply viewed it as something that just came naturally to him. 

It would be in between combat training that Cyrus would learn more his families view of the Magi. They viewed the strange breed of people so lowly that it made Cyrus' stomach turn. Why hate a people that are incapable of controlling what they are born with? He understood that the bad ones needed to be dealt with. He had heard all kinds of horror stories about out of control Magi but they did not represent the entire group of people. The entire world hated these people and so it seemed that his Goddess did as well. He wasn't able to get behind such a view and while he did say anything at first, it slowly ate away at him.

Cyrus was twelve when his younger brother Ezekiel was born. The birth of his younger brother put his combat training with his father on hold. His sister, Lizbeth, taking on the task of training him while his father spent time with Tessa and the newborn. Cyrus and his sister had never really gotten along, having your typically little brother and older sister relationship. Thus she attempted to make his training as hard as possible for him. He in turn tried to make her life hell when they weren't teaching him the craft. He trained with his sister for two years before his father took over the task of teaching him again.

He was sixteen when he finished his training. Becoming capable of taking on the role of an apprentice hunter working directly under his sister and father.  It was during his work as an apprentice that allowed Cyrus to see more of the world as whole. It helped to shape the boy into the type of man that he is today. During the dangerous hunts that he would undertake with his father and sister Cyrus learned that while humankind was strong they were limited. Even with Runic Magic and the blessing of a God or Goddess they were only capable of so much. So he turned his attention towards technology and its ability to enhance one to new heights.

Cyrus made his desire to becoming cybernetically enhanced known to his father and he rejected it immediately. He called the mere thought a dishonor on the Blackwood name, and a disrespect to Hunters as a whole. As Cyrus was only seventeen at the time he did not have the option ignore his father's wishes. The following year however Cyrus betrayed the will of his father and replaced his eyes with new ones. His father was ashamed and his sister refused to even acknowledge Cyrus from that moment on.

As the years grew by Cyrus added more and more enchantments to himself and began to grow a reputation amongst his peers as an outcast. Years apart from the hold of his family have also allowed Cyrus to relax and fall comfortably into the type of person he is now.

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

- Corrective Refraction: Your eyes have the ability to view items at varying distances with clarity. Works both as a microscope for small items and a telescope for far away items.

- Standard Alloy: Your body/bionics is made of the standard metal alloy being offered in the market.



- Unarmed Combat I: 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.

- Sharp Shooter: Skilled with guns and able to aim them with a high proficiency. Even if you are a level Firearm III, you are, with the purchase of this ability, considered a IV. You serve the Goddess of the Hunt for a reason.

- Weapon Convenience-y: 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.

- Augmented Weapon: (Limit 2 per Hunter) These are weapons that are crafted from the bones of slain Magi. Once crafted they are usually reinforced with lightweight metals. Through assistance from the Runic University a professor is capable of preparing the weapon's innate magic to give an extra punch with every strike or even dispel a magical attack of the same kind, depending on what Magi type the bone came from. So for instance if you have a Fire Augmented Weapon (meaning the bone was taken from a deceased Fire Magi) a Fire Whirlwind could be dispersed upon touch by the weapon



- Flame Launcher(Fire Magi Augmented): Cyrus's hunter weapon was designed to work in tandem with his bionic upgrades and as such has been installed into the palm of his right hand. Many would assume the weapon to be a mere flamethrower but in truth it has been enhanced so that instead of releasing a steady stream of fire, Cyrus is capable of lobbing balls of flames like baseballs from the palm of his hand. Because the bone used to make it was that of a Fire Magi the weapon is capable of dispelling low-level Fire magic.

-Firearm 1(Starter)

Ability Description: Can accomplish fundamental and basic feats with firearm weapons.

Examples: Pistol, Revolver, Shotgun, Submachine Gun, Sniper Rifle, Flame Thrower, etc
