It's probable Icarus is a young teenager based on the fact that no form he took while in Institute care could have been more that 16. [/hider] Appearance: Image uploaded by Dr. Deborah Johannes on 4/14/2012 [hider=] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ivz5zr3.png[/img] [hider=Note on Appearance] Icarus seems to have settled into this as his default form after our first application of BugFix. Any deviation from this form should be reported immediately to Dr. Johannes as it could be indicative of destabilization. [/hider] [/hider] Occupation: First Year Student History: Icarus was found wandering a Port Crescendo train terminal dazed, confused, with his physical appearance shifting every few minutes with a noticeable flicker. No onlooker reported seeing him enter the train terminal and the footage of the security camera doesn't show his arrival. Several concerned onlookers attempted to check the boys Enlil Network profile and were immediately struck by the same symptoms, whereupon emergency services were contacted. After cordoning off the area the police, fearing some sort of unprecedented Network based virus, contacted the Port Crescendo Institute of Technology to get an experts opinion and delivered Icarus and the victims to the Institute for observation. A day later it was clear that while sleep cleared up the onlookers symptoms, with no lasting damage, Icarus's condition was not improving. Weeks of study and cautious probing through the Enlil Network found them the boys profile, completely corrupted corrupted save one passive Class Skill and his Tablet Power, which they were able to coax him into using it. The resulting encounter with the entity now known as "Sasaki Kojiro" resulted in severe injuries to four staff members, through it did seem to stabilize Icarus. When questioned, Icarus claimed to have no knowledge of his past, anyone named Sasaki, or how he had ended up in his current state. Later interviews under more controlled conditions with Sasaki proved fruitless, as he outright refused to provide any information on his past. Class: ERROR [hider=Note On Class and Class Skills] As far as can be determined this Class was once something along the lines of Samurai or Blademaster based on interviews conducted with, and similar techniques performed by, Sasaki. [/hider] Class Skills: [Active] [list] [*] [b][i]Sure Kill Flash Strike*[/i][/b] - What appears to be an Iaijutsu quick draw sword technique. Should the attack land the actual damage will not be inflicted until after the users sword has been sheathed, as demonstrated by Sasaki. Icarus's version has a noticeable time lag. When his attack hits the damage will be inflicted randomly some time within the next four hours. [*] [b][i]Killing Field Flash Strafe*[/i][/b] - A Skill seemingly designed to allow the user to move around their opponent extremely quickly to disorient them. When Icarus uses this Skill it is effectively random teleportation. Icarus locks on to one target and can then teleport to a random spot within a small circle around his target, always facing them. If that spot is already occupied by something he will "glitch out" for a moment before being launched out and away from what he teleported into at great speed. Icarus can carry up to one person while using this Skill. [*] [b][i]Shocking Kill Flash Step*[/i][/b] - A teleportation Skill designed to place you right behind your target. Icarus can seemingly only target himself with this skill. When used Icarus is teleported a step back from where he previously was and spawns a clone in his place. The clone is usually of a strange coloration with melting facial features. This clone mimics every move that Icarus makes precisely. Has a three second cooldown period. [*] [b][i]Duel Kill Flash Blades*[/i][/b] - A Skill designed to duplicate the users sword so they could use two at once. This Skill seems to have lost its focus and can now be used to duplicate any object that Icarus can hold in his hands. It should be noted, however, that duplicate will have properties consistent with Icarus's Unstable Sword Passive Skill. [hider=*] Skill names and descriptions were hopelessly garbled when found, with the notable exception of Sword Fighter. Skill descriptions were gathered through experimentation. Names were provided by Sasaki. [/hider] [/list] [list] [Passive] [*] [i][b]Unstable Sword[/b][/i] - Any sword that Icarus fights with is unstable in his hands. Should he block with it, clash with another weapon, or even press it up against a hard surface, it has a chance to "glitch out" and suddenly start bending and stretching in impossible ways before snapping back to its real shape. This wild shape changing is equally as likely to impale him as his opponent. Possibly a mutation of a skill that improved the quality of any sword wielded by the user. [*] [i][b]Bug Infection[/b][/i] - Icarus's problems are so severe that they're infectious. Anyone with Class Skills that's hit with one of his Active Skills has a chance to have one of their Skills corrupted like his. Going to sleep will repair the corruption like a normal Network error, and it seems like there's some kind of safeguard that only allows a single skill per person to be corrupted. [*] [b][i]Sword Fighter[/i][/b] - A skill representing Sasaki's, and Icarus's by extension, immense skill with a blade. The only part of Icarus's profile not to be corrupted by whatever happened to him. [/list] Tablet Power: [b][i]BugFix[/i][/b] - A self diagnostic Tablet Power, seemingly capable of repairing errors in the Enlil Network without the user having to go to sleep. When used it tries to repair the damaged Network in Icarus's body and reverts him to his glitchless state, a ruthless and powerful swordsman who calls himself Sasaki Kojiro, for five to seven minutes. His speed, power, and technique increase dramatically as Sasaki, along with the quality of his blade. Icarus has no awareness of what happens when he's being Sasaki, and Sasaki likewise does not remember his time as Icarus. After this five to seven minute period BugFix breaks under the strain and can not be used to bring out Sasaki again until Icarus has gotten a good nights sleep. BugFix can be used in its broken state, but it results in Icarus's glitches becoming much more severe and harmful to himself.
