Alias: Bane
Age: 22
Appearance:
Personality: Cyrus is a quiet and calculating young adult. He is very intelligent and observant. Bane 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. Bane 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 Bane 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. Bane 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. Bane'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. Unfortunately, soon his grades began to drop, much like his self-esteem. Then finally, he snapped. Bane 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 Bane 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 Supe, 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. Bane 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 Supe 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 Bane 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 is skilled with computers and hacking, his intelligence is off the charts, and he can basically become a tank. He also boxed as a teenager.
Uniform: Cyrus doesn't wear the top of his jumpsuit, he ties it around his waist and goes shirtless. He also cut off parts of the pants to make them into shorts. He has scribbled writing on his suit, just thoughts and ideas that he jotted down. (He also writes on the walls of his cell.)
Power: Cyrus' body creates a source of energy from his own cells. They act much like ATP except the energy that they create is destructive. Just like ATP, his cells, needs to consume nutrients in order to create this energy which he calls "Surge." He can use Surge in two ways. He can enhance his physical attributes, and he can also expel Surge from his body with concussive and destructive force. He has to be able to eat in order for his power to work. When he enhanced his physical attributes he grows to be 8 feet tall, 20 inches taller than he normally is, and he becomes insanely muscular. When he blasts Surge, it is showed as red energy. Sometimes Surge can be concentrated into a beam that is very destructive and sometimes it can be manifested as an orb of sorts that explodes on impact. Surge is very unstable when outside of Curus' body, this is why it is so destructive and volatile. When he "Surges Up," not only does his muscles become insanely strong, he becomes fast, agile, and his skin also becomes dense like steel. He can not blast Surge in this form though, he can only do that once he has Surged Down.
