Name: Kiril Genome
Age: 16
Gender:Male
Appearance: Kiril has the appearance of a perfectly normal male human of his age, save for the natural streaks of cyan in his otherwise platinum blonde hair, and his neon green eyes. He is apparently something of a late bloomer, as he is slight in build, with soft, childlike features, and is 64 inches tall on a good day. Despite his otherwise underdeveloped appearance, his gaze his hard and knowing, as though his eyes were those of someone decades older. His multicolor hair hangs in a loose shag to the bottom of his neck, and Kiril's pale skin is marred only by a few minor scars on his hands and forearms, as well as a larger one at the base of his head, mostly hidden by hair.
Apparel: When piloting, Kiril wears a black flightsuit of his own design. It is form-fitting and very sleek, with metal elements designed to secure him into and interface with the cockpit of the Star Vampire, as well as built-in life-support systems. He also wears a matching hermetically-sealed helmet with a tinted visor, which syncs with the Star Vampire's instruments to provide a HUD should the primary display go down.
Otherwise, he simply wears comfortable clothes, usually shorts, sneakers and an oversized hoodie. He owns a pair of welding goggles that he sometimes done to work on machinery, and then forgets to remove.
Equipment: Aside from simple engineering tools, Kiril only really carries his cellular phone. As a high-end model, it has numerous applications and functions, making it a surprisingly versatile tool.
Starfighter: Kiril's personal starfighter is the
Star Vampire, a completely custom craft of his own design and construction. Extremely compact, the Star Vampire is only about a third the size of a normal starfighter, and its cockpit only seats a single person about Kiril's size.
Much like its pilot, the Star Vampire is far mightier than its size suggests. Its ion-pulse "Phobic Animus" propulsion system grants it prodigious speed and such a high degree of maneuverability that only a highly skilled pilot can even handle it without crashing. The Phobic Animus performs equally well in space, air and water, and its energy emissions are so low as to be barely detectable. The Star Vampire is FTL capable, but only in short jumps, with a battery recharge shortly after.
However, the most advanced system within the Star Vampire is its "Cor Leonis" computer, which can detect and plot the trajectory of anything from an enemy ship to a laser beam. This works in tandem with the fighter's "Ivonis" shield system, allowing any projectile to be deflected from the most optimal angle with perfect timing, creating a highly efficient and effective field of protection. However, the Cor Leonis is incomplete, and its more advanced functions require the pilot to do a considerable portion of the advanced calculations.
The Star Vampire is not merely a high-spec fighter; it has the ability to transform into a
mecha for combat. In this form, it retains the advantages of the Cor Leonis and the Ivonis shields, but trades its speed and maneuverability for firepower. Its primary weapon is a chest-mounted laser called the "Hydra," which can either be fired as a single, powerful blast, or refracted into numerous, smaller beams. The Star Vampire's other weapons include plasma casters, hadron cannons, chaff missiles and grappling harpoons.
Skills: Kiril is, to put it bluntly, a genius. His intellect, calculating ability, and information retention all push the boundary of human capability. He can pick up most skills in a matter of hours, and perform better than whoever taught him by the next day. Kiril's talents mostly reside within the fields of particle and astrophysics and computer, mechanical and aerospace engineering, in which he is a certifiable prodigy.
Kiril is also an extremely talented starfighter pilot, able to outperform veterans triple his age. He is also a decent hacker, and has some knowledge of genetic engineering.
Abilities: While anyone can tell that Kiril is not an average human, closer examination reveals that he is actually noticeably distinct in his anatomy and neurology. He has a very powerful sense of spacial awareness, and his reflexes are so sharp that they border on the procognitive. His cardiovascular system is also surprisingly strong, allowing him to withstand incredible G-forces without losing consciousness.
Among more abstract abilities, Kiril is seemingly something of an empath, able to sense thr emotions of others, and tell friend from foe on instinct. While it has yet to be recorded, when in emotional distress Kiril radiates an intense, unknown energy, which at the moment only disturbs computer systems and energy-based projectiles.
Word-of-Mouth: The "Void Dragon" only hit the star-racing scene in the Deadzone a year ago, but he (if he even is a he) is already making huge waves. He has yet to be defeated in over twenty death-races, and his kill-count is already sky-high. As more people drop out of races in fear of him, just as many sign up for a chance to test their skills against this rising legend.
