Cylox

[Toriji]

Name: Cylox

Age: 900

Gender: Male

Race: Human/Tiger

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Power Level: Low-tier High (7)

Timeline: Post- Apocalyptic Future

Appearance: Stage 1: Small framed young boy. He has long, silver hair and wears arctic camoflogue fatigues. His muscles are defined, but not overly large. His fingers end in three-inch claws that extend from his fingerbones. His hair is mildly spiky.
Stage 2: His frame is more broad and muscular. The previously loose-fitting clothes are tight against his body. He begins to develop small blue stripes across his forearms and biceps. His hair now has a jagged spike to it.
Stage 3: His body is much more beastly formed and muscular than before. His shirt is removed to reveal the undershirt he wears and that his upper body is now covered in blue stripes. His eyes have slitted pupils and his caine teeth have grown out of his mouth. His hair now has a hard, distinct spike to it.

Personality: He has a caustic attitude toward most people. He usually wears a scowl on his face, because he is constantly mad about something. However, he does develop closely with others of his ilk, great fighters an warriors.

History: As a child growing up before the large missile crisis in 2300, he lived an unstable childhood. He lived among the hobos and the homeless, a burden on society along with his younger brother.
His life changed when he and his brother were kidnapped and taken to an American Army testing facility. They told him that he would become a proud rank of soldiers that would ensure the survival of the U.S.
After they altered his genetics, he was capable of taking on aminalistic genes. He was given a choice of animals and chose the Siberian Tiger. He later exited the experimentaion a new, stronger lifeform.
Sadly, His brother nor any of .the other subjects survived the experimentation. He was locked away in an abandoned laboratory, and project CYLO(the Experiment) was shut-down.
900 years later he was found in that same facility by Toriji and his gang. He attacked at first, but soon came to like them. He even decided to assist them in their dilemma in exchange for a place to live.
After the ordeal was complete, he left them to go live among the few living tigers in Africa.

Powers: He has beastly strength, speed, senses and instincts. His claws are his main weapon and means of defense. He was also taught a few basic Ninpo by Toriji. they include: The Clone, Illusion, Shadow Cloak, and Hyperdrive.

Weakness: His main weakness is that he is still human. He is much like Kiba in that his hieghtened senses can be used against him

Um, you mean Low-tier High, right? That's what 7 is.

[Toriji]

yeah, i got it backwards =P

Rezzed, due to relevant current events!

Why does he call himself Cylox?

Is he educated?

Are you sure there's tigers in Madagascar? Because I just Googled it and now I'm reading about a giant ostrich. (Read: There's no tigers in Madagascar. o.o)

Nine hundred years old? I think, if most people had been locked up all alone in a warehouse for even nine years, they'd go nuts. (Read: I advise noting exactly what age he appears to be in his first stage, because "small framed young boy" can kinda stretch between four and fourteen, imho, and if he was cryonically frozen, that'd be good to note, too, since "Locked up in a warehouse" =/= "Cryonically frozen and therefore wouldn't notice the time passing. And thus wouldn't go crazy. Even though the government killed his brother and he had all that time to stew over it. >_>")

You should probably fix "mid-tier low (7)" ... We know what you mean because you said in the next post, but, y'know. It's... It's just... Generally, you fix that kind of thing...

[Subtle]

A wearhouse wouldn't even last 900 years...

[Terethin]

Where did he gets the ability to go to different stages? If it because of the experimentation thats cool, i'd just like to know.

[Toriji]

yes you're right, the experiment.

I think some of what your looking for is in the bio.

I'm not sure on most of these but from what I know about him I'll answer some things for toriji until he gets a chance (I've noticed he hasn't posted here in a while)

He calls himself Cylox because of the name of the experiment. When he escaped/woke up (however he survived) it was the first thing he saw (cylo) and name himself Cylox after it.

I am not sure but I do think he was frozen like you said, I do remember being asked to draw him in something like a chamber capsule thing. If I'm mistaken however I am sure he could survive at least nine hundred years hundred years in a box, just sleeping or w/e XD.

Um, The timeline and Earth for Toriji's story is different than modern, SO, I would reason that he could say that they migrated from so and so do to the climate change from so and so. So, asking about tigers were good, but you have to looks and see that there is a 1300+ year difference from now. Felt like nit-picking to me.

Umm, I would reason that he is educated. Read his bio and you would see that he lived before getting captured and he was with his older brother. They were hobos so I'm sure they tought him a few things, though probably not much. You might mean what level of education he has.

As for a warehouse not surviveing 900 years, there is a 1300+ years difference from today and then.

Some of the stuff can be reasoned from his history but its not there in bold letters. I only posted this because it would help you understand him. Cylox is one of meh fav of his characters.

*sigh* My internet crashed while I was trying to send my response ... Alright, short and sweet version.

Escaped/woke up? This is what we're trying to figure out, AoD, which one it was, because it would have a direct effect on his mental state.

No, he couldn't survive 900 years just sleeping in a box. His body would starve to death, even in hybernaton.

Yeah, there's a 1,300 year time difference, but considering Madagascar is an ISLAND, surrounded by miles and miles of OCEAN, I find the migration of tigers to Madagascar unlikely. Just because you put something a measly millennium in the future doesn't give you free reign with the construction of the universe. 1,300 years ago, Madagascar was an island the same amount of distance from the nearest continental landmass as it is today. There's absolutely no reason to expect that to change in another 1,300 years. I don't find that remotely nit-picking.

Um, hobos aren't always educated, AoD. Generally speaking, they're not. That's why they're hobos. Thus, it is completely unreasonable to reason that he is educated just because he's a hobo.

Correction, at the time the warehouse was built, there would have only been a 400-year difference. 1,300 - 900 = 400. Woot for basic arithmatic! I knew it was good for something! And the surviveability of buildings has actually decreased as we advance. The concrete we use today, for example, is weaker than the concrete they used in ancient Greece because ours has a higher water content. Studies of our present building technology suggests that if we were to disappear tomorrow, our buildings would not last a century without our constant maintenance. I don't expect this to change to the point where a building is even still stable, much less viable for storage or supplying power to a cryogenic storage unit a millennium after it was built in just 400 years of advancement.

Toriji's history, as usual, is actually very lacking, AoD. All these things you say can be "reasoned" from it can't be even negotiated from it.

Well if he didn't stay awake all that time b/c it would cause death, then I guess your answer would be he was frozen. He stated that he was human still (and I admit he should have stated if he was frozen or not).

About hobos, I'm sure most can communicate in some form or another (Plus know their basic shapes and colors, alphabet, etc.), thus they are educated. I think you mean, what level of education. Like grade school, high school, or college.

Also he was with his older brother, who 'should' be looking after him (Depending on his age during that point). B/c if his older brother did not like him, why would they still stick together. Older brothers usually look after the younger's well being. No matter if they like them or not, it usually comes down to, that's my brother.

Hobos are hobos because they are homeless and (usually) jobless first and foremost (Or can't keep a job). They are characterized as not being educated but I'm pretty sure a well educated man can become a hobo.

As for the building it wasn't stated that it was used as soon as it was made or how long it took to make the building. Also, what about steel and other metals? It's a military testing facility for genetic reasearch. This is where they will make dangerous human/animal hybrids that could go wild and cause a mass amount of damage. I'm pretty sure they would use the toughest metals and stone and whatever mixture of the two plus whatever they can, to keep the experiments in and attack from penetrating the walls. Because I'm sure some people would view this as inhuman and for w/e cause could attack the facility.

As for Madagascar. Yeah, it could have became the next las vegas, or a wealthy man could by up sections or the whole island and keep a zoo, there are many possibilities, and my migration was just a scenerio of what he COULD say happened, yet you took it seriously. I do feel it is nit picking you might not, but I find that wanting to know what he thinks of Madagascar in the future and tigers, is not important to what he would be doing with the character.

Also math never was meh favorite subject XD.

-meh-

If he was frozen, that's very important to know. For now, we'll assume he was until Toriji can clarify.

Whenever anyone anywhere asks if someone is an educated man or woman, that does not mean, "Can little Billy tell red from blue yet?" It means, do they have an education? Do they have a high school degree, at the bare minimum? Higher education? That's what that question means, and by your own admission, no, being a hobo doesn't automatically mean you're from Harvard. Odds are, it means the exact opposite.

And it doesn't matter what they built the building out of. It would not still be in any remotely conceivable manner still standing after 200 years, much less 900. It might still be recognizeable as a building after 100, maybe even 150 years, but it wouldn't serve its purpose any longer.

[Toriji]

Well I have some explaining to do. As usual I've forgotten to come back and fill in the blanks and such. Forgetfull be that that claims me.

Yes he was frozen, the room he was in was undergroung and suppoted by concrete and titanium. And as for the tiger, you caught me not doing my homework. I'll change it to Africa.

He has a military grade education, they taught him everything that wasn't common sense.

[Ninmast]

Alright, that mostly works for me. Next question. How'd they keep power to the cryogenic stasis pod for 900 years?

Pfft, characterized. I think I meant to put generalized. Anyhow, what I meant was: 'usually thought of as'. And being a hobo also doesn't automatically mean your an idiot either. Odds are, being a hobo means that you have a middle school education or more, sometimes less. Hobo's had/have their own code they lived by and terms they used, not to mention a form of writing to help each other. People don't just get born hobos, they become them.

As for education, he could have been educated in the ways of being a hobo . See, educated .
