Name: Cyrus Green Alias/Nickname: Surge Age: 21 Appearance: Cyrus is an insanely tall young adult. Standing at 6'5," he towers over most. Although he is tall, he is very wiry and lean. He looks like he doesn't eat much, but in fact, because of his power, he eats an immense amount of food. His eyes are a vibrant green, which is ironic, because of his last name. His shortish black hair is untamable and sits on top of his head in a messy style. His face is long, but his stubble seems to make it look normal. A scar runs from under his left ear, to an inch away from his chin, following his jawline. On his left shoulder, tribal tattoos coil around his bicep. On his right forearm there is a tattoo of the words, "Fear is simply an excuse to give up." Personality: Cyrus is a quiet and calculating young adult. He is very intelligent and observant. Green is a very calm kind of person, rarely raising his voice or becoming angry. Surprisingly, he fights as a last resort, and even then he may be a bit reluctant. Sure, he learned how to box as a kid, but that was just his hobby. Cyrus is a plan-maker, and his tactics and strategies rarely show flaws. Green doesn't talk much, but when he does he makes sure that what he says is relevant. He has a hard exterior, strong enough to hide his true personality. He internalizes his feelings, and sometimes has a hard time expressing them. Cyrus is a really nice guy at heart, but I mean, no one is perfect right? Biography: Cyrus Green was born into a poor family who could barely afford to eat. Cyrus's mom contracted a deadly illness. This made his family poorer, because of the lack of another paycheck, and the need to pay for medication. Green suffered greatly, practically starving because of his high metabolism. He never got enough food. His social life was a disaster. He had to deal with his personality issues and physical issues. Nobody wanted to be his friend because he practically looked like a skeleton. Cyrus could barely talk to people, let alone date women. Green's love life was a disaster, he didn't have the looks nor personality to gain the attention of any girls he was attracted to. The only thing he excelled in was academics, he was a brilliant student. Alas, soon his grades began to drop, much like his self-esteem. Then finally, he snapped. Green was sick of being hungry, sick of being ignored, sick of everything. Cyrus joined a gang soon after his epiphany. Soon he was on the fast track to becoming a drunk, addict, and fugitive. I forgot to mention that at that time Green had realized that he wasn't human, and that he possessed an amazing power. Cyrus had been using his ability to steal, mostly food, but other luxuries. His father became suspicious of him, wondering where he was getting all his money from. He was arrested partly because he was a Super-Human, and partly because of his crime. Cyrus was known around town as the most dangerous guy around, so most people were wary of him. To be honest, he was framed, and the police were onto him instantly. He saw that it was pointless to fight, it would just lead him into more trouble. But, I digress. So one day, Cyrus was casually walking down the street, around midnight. This wasn't uncommon for him, patrolling his territory. Up ahead he heard a commotion, and then two gunshots. Green ran towards the sound, and got there just in time to see a dead body drop to the ground. A bullet had lodged itself in the poor man's skull and stomach. The attacker was no where to be seen. If only Cyrus hadn't taken the time to properly close the man's eyes, seeing as he had died with them wide open. Someone nearby had heard the shots, and called the police. They were on him in seconds. To them all the evidence was clear. A Super had killed a man, the gun was even nearby. He was taken away immediately. Cyrus thrived in this prison though. He became stronger physically, without the help of his powers, and basically spent all his time studying. There was one guard who was kind enough to lend Green some books whenever he got some, Cyrus never complained. Confidence was another thing that Cyrus gained. He's not cocky or big-headed, just sure of his abilities and weaknesses. Skills: - Cyrus learned how to box when he was a teenager. He has a lot of experience in hand to hand combat. Cyrus is particularly good at bobbing and weaving, his agile is astounding for a guy his size. - Green's intelligence and IQ is off the charts. - Cyrus has a knack for picking locks and bypassing security systems, and he also knows how to hot-wire cars. He learned this during the time he spent on the streets, fending for himself. Powers: Cyrus has a unique power, and some of it is still unexplained. First of all, Green has a super high metabolism, which is why he is so wiry. Second, when he eats, he absorbs some kind of energy from the nutrients in the food. Cyrus can then use this energy in two ways. The first way boosts his physical attributes. His speed, strength, agility, stamina, and durability. The second way he can use this energy is far more dangerous and complicated. Cyrus can take the energy he absorbs from his food, and expel it from his body in concussive blasts, waves, or orbs. His power is quite easy to predict though. This is because when he prepares to release the energy, the body part he wishes to expel it from glows a ghostly white. It is unknown what the energy is made of, but the devastation it creates is astounding. Because of his power, Cyrus always has food on his person, may it be a power bar, fruit, candy, etc. Other: None
