Ryan Steele

Ryan Akos Steele is a member of the Cyber Pirates and a friend of Rhonda and Tiffany. Ryan serves as both the mechanic and brawn of the Cyber Pirates, doing hands-on jobs and dealing with machinery.
==Appearance==
Ryan is an averagely sized human male with pale skin and blue shaved hair. His hair is shaved around the sides and is long on top, brushed over to one side. In his ears, he has bright orange stretcher earrings, roughly 1.5 centimetres in diameter. His primary outfit consists of a grey, oil-stained tank top as well as an orange utility belt and cargo pants of various shades of patched blues. He has blue and white shoes with orange soles. He has a scar across his left eye.
==Personality==
At first, Ryan comes off as pushy and rude, often shouting rude remarks at passerby's and causing trouble with mild violent outburst. In reality, however, Ryan is just insecure and just wants to be loved and accepted for who he is.
==History==
Ryan was born in Jokademia and named Riley. Growing up, "Riley" would often find herself feeling uncomfortable when tasked with traditionally feminine activities. When Riley turned 18, she was sent to live at a campus in the centre of Jokademia. Here she began to embrace her feminine side and eventually joined the cheerleaders. She later met a boy called Joshua Michaelson and the two began dating. After a few years, Riley started opening up to her best friend Heather Davidson about her gender identity issues. Heather suggested to open up to Joshua, which Riley reluctantly agrees to. After a discussion with her boyfriend, Joshua helps Riley to transition behind closed doors with the help of Heather. The three became increasingly close the more they hung out and eventually formed a polyamorous triad together. Heather and Joshua would call Riley "Ryan" when in private, and "Ry" when in public. When Riley decided to cut her hair short, the other residents of Jokademia became suspicious and eventually discovered Riley's new identity as Ryan. Confused and offended by Ryan's transition, the residents bullied and assaulted him, giving him a scar across his eye. They eventually chased him out of Jokademia, forcing Ryan to say goodbye to Heather and Joshua and get on the next train out of the city. He arrived in Biotech and was homeless for many weeks. He later met Rhonda, a tall woman who took him in and helped him to transition medically, as being transgender is accepted in Biotech. Ryan joined the Cyber pirates and is currently working as the primary mechanic on their ship.
