[color=FFFFFF]Appearance:[/color]
Standing at 5'9" and weighing in at 160lbs, Cypher is just under the required imposing figure that most men in the business of security already have. He sports a clean shaven head and strong facial features as if cut from stone. Blue eyes, sharp nose and sharper edges around his chin all lend to a look that is rather easy on the eyes. He attracts women with relative ease though his attitude his the wall that eventually turns them away.

His usual attire while on the job consists of a thin form fitting upper shirt and dark cargo pants or black jeans. Combat boots ensure he remains comfortable while on the move. His firearm is carried on his person via shoulder holster and he often wears leather gloves for comfort, protection, and a better grip on his gun.

He does not like to wear the exoskeleton that most other LSF agents utilize and does without it whenever he can, even if using one would significantly increase his surviving a given situation.

Put simply, Cypher means to see all benders [OMITTED] and moves to compete this one way or the other.

[color=FFFFFF]Personality:[/color]
Cypher is a bit rough around the edges. Perhaps its the job or maybe that’s how he’s always been but he’s never found any relief in being kind to those he’s had to kill. He's learned that hinting at any amount of hope doesn't benefited anyone, least of all himself. And so, since the day he was born he’s been every bit as abrasive as ever. Blunt. Straight to the point. Business as usual. His job only makes it all the more necessary to keep all optimistic feelings at bay and keep dominion over his team with a strict demeanor.

Focused more than anything else, when given a task he strives to complete it doing whatever it may take to get his job down. It’s what he knows and he knows he’s very good at it. He's very meticulous on the details. He knows that everything means something and that something can lead to a break in a chase he's been looking for. He is after all a hunter of sorts, a profession that requires a certain skill set. Determination, patience, a trained eye to pick out what's important from a mess of unnecessary noise. He's also quite perceptive, able at times to see the truth of a situation when the job calls for it.

This perception bleeds into his social life. Others usually find it hard to keep the man engaged in a conversation when he knows so much of the truth. They understand he's blunt and doesn't like to waste time and so small talk and a bit of verbal foreplay isn't his thing. He cuts straight to the point though Koeska has been helping to coax him out of the habit and into more of the social butterfly he should be.

Koeska is a member of Cypher's team and one of his closer friends. It's with her he finds himself at the receiving end of a brother/sister like relationship. It’s the only kind of familial relationship he shares as he is the only surviving member of his family. Although at times he finds it more annoying than anything, it's benefited him in more ways than one and he's come to appreciate her care.

[color=FFFFFF][b]History[/b][/color]
Born to a noble house. Cypher received an early and vigorous education on all things from history to the social arts. He's surprisingly academic if one pays close enough attention. From a young age he was engaged and found studies came easier to him than most. When outside of school, his parents were sure to put him in the forefront of their households public eye to ensure that his transition into a socialite was smooth. He was a natural and would have easily surpassed his peers... if [OMITTED]

His parents were killed in a simple Satomobile accident. There was no drunk driver in the other car. There was no zen involved, no benders, no idiots without licenses. In the end, the accident came down to simple human error. Some man in a big rig hadn't noticed the red light. Maybe he was distracted, maybe he just wasn't paying enough attention to the road but he decided to continue through the intersection and plowed through the other car in his path. Cypher's parents and the metal frame around them were obliterated...completely.

Immediately after, Cypher's housing situation changed though his social status remained the same. He was moved into the care of a [OMITTED] a couple who lived in the Upper Ring and advised the king. They added political issues to his education with a very strong emphasize on antibending. With little else to hold on to but the truth that bending was the reason the world had burned and with no other outlets to focus the anger inside him that had built up since his parents death, he turned to a life of hunting benders.

He was trained at the age of 18 for the RSF and quickly moved up their ranks from the Lower to the Upper Ring until, because of his adoptive family's connections, he was recruited into the LSF. [OMITTED] He now leads the team and it's several members, continuing his fight against the bending menace.
